Folks - Please do read carefully
One UI 4 Beta is live for Note 20 Ultra in US (Unlocked devices)
This Beta is for SM-N986U1 only
Open up the Samsung members app it will show if there is an update available. Update the app.
After update see the top banners as in my screenshot. Tap on that and sign up for Beta. In case you don't get the sign up banner, see below.
Beta 1 - I was able to capture One UI4 Beta 1 OTA link
Beta 2 - This enables esim on U1 (Unlocked) - One UI4 Beta 2 OTA link
Beta 3 - One UI4 Beta 3 OTA link
Google pay is not working on Beta 1, 2 and 3.
Pre-requisite - To flash Beta 1 you need to be on firmware N986U1UES2DUJ7
Beta 2 should only be flashed after you are on Beta 1
Beta 3 should be flashed only when you are on Beta 2
Just download by clicking the link rename it to update.zip and flash it either through recovery or by using ADB.
If you don't want to download using OTA link, rename etc our good friend @kangi26 has uploaded the beta versions along with the instructions to flash here in the post 3 of his thread along with many other firmwares.
Fair warning flashing through recovery or ADB may wipe your device.
To avoid Wipe (ATT users on U1 firmware) do the following: (Thanks @DevVorteX
Remove SIM
open phone app, dial *#272*IMEI#
Replace IMEI with your IMEI number which you can copy from settings
This brings up service menu
Select XAA
Click Install
Select "Sales&Network Code Change"
Hit the "OK" button
Your phone will restart
When it came back up, I checked in software info and it was XAA/XAA/ATT,XAA (whatever that means)
Reboot to recovery
Sideload the beta via adb
Let it do it's thing and reboot (keep sim out the whole time)
When it boots up, you're good to go
Put the SIM back in, and it'll prompt you to reboot
That's it. No more wipes.
Beta registrations are closed for now as it's full.
That's not available to me yet. And the link doesn't appear to go anywhere for me
I was able to download the .bin file, Will try to get a flash (or will wait until I get the beta sign up option)

That's correct you should be able to rename it update.zip and flash. Try cleaning members app cache and data And restart the app.

Grazie, I might give the update.zip a shot.
I did the clear cache/and did the Data too, no joy
Well, pulled the trigger. Lets see if I break anything
I'll report back when it's done updating (Still no joy on the Samsung Members)
So it took about 5-10 min to update, and it DOES wipe. But looks good so far, setting up now. I suspect that without signing up for the Beta, it MAY not get updates. It's been a LONG time since I've run a beta and it's hard to remember

Is there any chance this'll wipe my device. I'm on the unlocked (U1) firmware, but on an ATT device on an ATT sim. I know there used to be something dumb where ATT somehow forced wipes for sideloaded updates. Since I flashed U1 via oden I shouldn't have to worry about that right?
What firmware are you in? is it DUJ7?

If you use the Update.zip method, it will 100% wipe, I can't speak to updating via the Samsung Members

No wipe via Samsung members app.
So it seems update.zip method wipes. (did you do ADB or recovery)
I was in older firmware upgraded to DUJ7 and its flashing. so far so good.

Does anybody know why the AT&T and unlocked versions don't get the US Android N beta?! I REALLY WANT IT and the only workaround is flashing the T-mobile firmware but I have some reasons not to. Someone please touch on the situation is feel so cheated!
I agree! If they only went with unlocked versions and one carrier it would make more sense, but this just seems odd that two CDMA variants get it yet only one GSM variant does.
I can't tell you why AT&T didn't get it, but I can also tell you that the work around no long is a work around. I flashed the 935T ROM and tried to get on the Beta program..... Denied...... Got a message back saying they got all of the "slots" filled. No more are being accepted

I managed to get tmobile firmware installed day of, and I got a slot. I'll try and extract the Ota if I get it, but in the meantime sprint already has an update extracted from a system.

How did you install T-mobile firmware?
With the prince comsey odin. I managed to get a spot and I'm currently waiting for the Ota. Seems to be one day after samsung announced so the 15th I should get it.
I really can't understand why Samsung shows no love to the US Unlocked S7 Edge. It's things like this that make me want to just stick to an iPhone. No reason why a factory unlocked phone shouldn't be on the latest software. We are still in Septembers security update and get shafted on the beta program. I bet 7.0 comes out way later on this phone as well.
I took the plunge over to the verizon firmware, at least until the t-mobile guys have gotten their update.zip from a device. currently moving their nougat update to my phone then ill check it out.
So their is a way to get Nogut on this?
yes, and i have it. i went over to the verizon firmware, didnt root, downloaded their update, made an FOTA folder on my external sd card, moved the update there, went into recovery and used the "update from SD" option to "flash" the update and im on nougat. its kinda laggy but its amazing, thanks to the great people over at the verizon thread for making this possible.

Everything is working great except the Facebook app. Just switched over to swipe pro. Uploaded a video of this in my Android group. Honestly reminds me of good lock paired with xposed and "n-ify"
Can you give a step by step for this. 1. Odin to which Verizon firmware. 2. Download Ota from the thread in the Verizon forum. 3. Create fota folder in external. 4.boot recovery. 5 update from SD card.???
Confirmed, up and ruining beta on AT&T galaxy s7 edge, all is working. Odin to latest Verizon firmware, download the ota that was pulled over in Verizon forum. Create "fota" folder on external. Reboot recovery and apply update from as card. Very impressed already.

Yes, just Odin to vzw firmware then update the way the Verizon users are doing it. I've been running it all morning on my AT&T s7 edge. Only issue is no facebook app. Doesn't work at all.

There is a thread in the Verizon forum, the link to the OTA is in the op. You need to put the update zip on your external sd card in a folder named "fota" which you create. Once you're on the Verizon firmware via Odin, you reboot to stock recovery and apply update from sd card. Just go follow the thread instructions, the only difference being that you need to Odin to the Verizon firmware first so that the nougat beta update will apply.
So the SD card update zip is nougat right

Correct.
1. Odin to vze firmware (there's a thread over there)
2. Download nougat beta ota (there's a thread over there)
3. Create folder on external sd named fota
4. Place update.zip (nougat beta) in folder.
5. Turn off oem unlock in settings.
6. Turn on usb debugging in settings.
7. Reboot stock recovery
8. Select apply update from sd card and find it in the fota folder you created.
Note: mine took well over 5 minutes. I thought it froze at one point. Just wait.

Just got November ota update in 60mb i am just curious to know if it is gonna lock the bootloader.
UPDATE-/ BOOTLOADER STILL UNLOCKED I TESTED & DOWNGRADED TO 5.1.1 OK1 .
I just received it as well. I use my phone for work so it's encrypted but could you try to downgrade and let's us know what happened
Yes, you can still downgrade to 4.4.4 with the new update
This update should give me enough time to read the details of the update before it reboots my phone in the 25 seconds. At that point, we don't have the ability to "abort" or decline the agreement anyway.
Note 4 tmo, downloads the 60mb update, phone enters recovery mode then i get "update failed phone will recover the original configuration" .
I'm full stock, no root, no custom recovery no nothing. Anyone could help me?
I'd recommend you use the desktop version of ODIN with the latest FULL ROM to restore your device (without wiping) to the version before the OTA update. You can then try the update process again.

I encountered the same error last night. I held POWER + VOLUME DOWN to boot into Recovery mode, then I rebooted to System. My phone went through the app optimization process (you know, the screen that you'd see after wiping the Cache/Dalvik Cache).
I assumed that the update failed, but when I checked "About Device," I noticed that it now has the November 1, 2016 security patch (Baseband Version N910TUVS2EPK2).

I have custom ROM and Custom Recovery TWRP.
Will updating the Modem and Bootloader cause me to have to reinstall the ROMS?
Thanks in advance
I was installing TWRP and superuser and something failed. Now the phone soft resets and bounces between TWRP and Huawei eRecovery. Does anyone have a L29C567 firmware I can flash? I've done some searching and there doesn't seem to be any sources for the firmware yet. Just trying to get the phone working again.
I think I could use FunkyHuawei if they had the firmware but I don't believe they do yet.
Edit: Looks like I put this in the wrong sub forum, sorry
Please be patient. Soon enough it will be available.

Try this guide,it will change ur region to Asia C636 but the phone will work 100%
You can rebrand later when official USA version is available.

I lost all the google apps and the keyboard when I tried to updated from B110 to B136 using step 7 "flash hw_data" but got it all back when with dloading back to B110.
I'm trying the updater now and it seems to be updating to B158! will update.
Update worked and I'm now on B158 which is awesome! The only thing that's odd now is that my MEID is 000000000000. I'm not sure if that's a big deal.

Step 5 to 9 is to restore the Missing application and data i recommend do this steps again.
If you have boot loop boot to stock recovery and do factory reset.

Yes, you can use this and flash back to Nougat.
Yes, this is bootloader version 3, so you won't be able to flash back to any previous build in bootloader version 2.
No, it won't break any future OTA updates. If you do experience any problems with OTA updates, I do have them available to flash manually, if needed.

I installed it and as soon as it booted (and I got through all of the setup), it said there was an OTA update. I installed it and now I'm back to a functional phone with the latest OTA update!
Thank you!

I cant get this to download. Every time it is corrupt or the files have errors and will not load up to Odin. I've tried different browser, different pcs. Nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

You mean the link isn't working for you?
No, I dont think so. I've tried to download it 20 times already. First time I downloaded, it says download finished. Then when i went to unzip it, there was 5 files and I got some sort of error unzipping on 2 of the 5 files. So I downloaded it again, this time I only got 2 of the 5 files with another error. Redownloaded, got 5 files, error unzipping. Tried different download managers, different browsers.... I'm lost......

Hmm, weird. No one else encountered this problem. I'm going to have to upload a new file link.
I am a Noob in odin. So do I just flash those files BL CSC ETC Into odin and thats it? I know how it works .. but I do not know which files to flash. I am in AT&T Note 8.

Make sure your phone is in download mode. I'm about to give this a go when I get home tonight. There are lots of little things about Oreo that I don't like.
Should be flashing all files that match up with the slots in Odin. I don't think the HomeCSC is absolutely needed (I believe it preserves your data, not sure). I've never used it before. Just know this will erase everything on your device.
My phone is currently bricked, or at least I believe so. It was bricked before and I flashed a different firmware, and after I had it working I upgraded all the updates through the phone to Oreo, from Nougat 7.1.1, and then tried to root it which was stupid on my part, now the firmware that un-bricked my phone won't flash again and it stops after it says xbl.elf. Also on my phone after it fails it says something about SW Rew 3 > binary 2 or something along those lines. I believe this is happening because the firmware I am trying to flash that worked before is now older or something, and right now I am downloading this firmware to try it out.
I have tried flashing this onto the phone, the first time everything went fine, but then when the android came up it said Error..., then it just goes to the charging circle but it doesn't show what my battery is at, and also what I have noticed is my phone will not go into download mode or do anything unless it's plugged in, I have no idea what to do as of right now.

Ok let me know how it goes.

Had a couple of scares but it worked fine.
1. After selecting the files in Odin, it took a while for a couple of the files to populate into the slot. Wasn't expecting it to take so long to analyze the files.
2. After it finished, there was a pause at 32% on the phone saying there was an error. After a minute or so it rebooted.
3. When it rebooted it went to a screen saying the phone was encrypted and to enter my password. I had never encrypted the phone, plus, I had done a complete factory reset before flashing in Odin.
The solution to fix this was to power off, boot to recovery, factory reset and clear cache. It booted up fine after that.
Now I'm back to what I wanted. I had purchased Package Disabler a while back so I first installed that and disabled software update so it won't upgrade to Oreo.

No. Read my last sentence in my last post. I did all this so I could go back to Nougat and stay there by disabling the software update. I did not like Oreo. I didn't like the way notifications were changed for Oreo. Badges were tied to status bar notifications, unlike Nougat.
Plus, my phone didn't feel as smooth in Oreo and my battery life was worse.
I'm staying on Nougat for a while.

My phone is not unlocked. The UI in Nougat and Oreo are very much the same. There are some features that are different to each one.
I don't see how you can upgrade to Android P. Oreo for Samsung was just released back in March. Unless there's something I don't know, P won't be released for this phone for quite a while. But I hope I'm wrong about that.
Anyone try the new ASD7 update that was uploaded to firmware.science today?

The U1 version isn't available yet and I do not believe you can use the U update on a U1 phone

Correct, it will not flash, just tried it.
I flashed it on via SD update this morning, to early to tell on the battery, but the fingerprint is amazing. So much faster and has not missed once for me. (did not need to re-register). No night mode on the camera though so thats a bummer.
What's this update bring?

It's only 184MB. Probably just a security patch and minor bug/performance fixes.
Unfortunately the screen shot didn't save but have been experiencing some weird screen problems. Kinda hard to explain but it's like the screen black out but the apps and everything else turn like a neo color super weird wished the pics saved.

I'm going from ASD3 to ASD7 and after the SD update my phone rebooted and is stuck on the Starting Android screen. I'm not sure how long it should take but it has been going for more than 20 mins now... What should I do?
I flashed from ASD3 as well, a couple days ago. Had no issues and haven't had any weird screen problems either. Peanut, try another manual reboot. If it doesn't start after that, maybe try wiping your cache? Worst case, you might have to factory reset.
While we are on the subject of ASD7, is there a way I can flash the update.zip file an not lose my data ?
Flashing it doesn't wipe anything, but you can always backup before as a precaution. I've never had any issues flashing updates like this. Not sure if it helps, but I always wipe cache, before flashing the update.

If your on ATT, you need to wait for an odin release.

While that's true for *most* carriers, ATT phones wipe when side loading updates. If your phone has an att logo at boot up, any update.zip file flashed via recovery or adb WILL wipe the device.
Didn't know that about ATT. I was with Nextel/Sprint for almost 20yrs and recently switched to Xfinity, but good to know.
You can Never get AT&T firmware from SamFirm. Always have to Odin TMB or Sprint and use Home CSC. If you know of place to Download ATT firmware let me know Please.
The update that the OP was referring to is from Firmware.science, not SamFirm/Mobile.

Yes I know that did not apply to installing the Update from Firmware.science. I was speaking of Complete ATT firmware to download and Flash in Odin, as I said in message above.
