One UI 5.0

[Hassan93]

Hi, 

It's been reported that Samsung Z Fold 4 users are able to download the Beta for One UI 5.0 via Samsung members, and then a software update. 

I can't see this option available when I open Samsung members. Please can you urgently advise on how I can access the Beta stage of One UI 5.0 or Android 13?

Thanks

Brand new sealed off eBay. I'll try to find the right firmware and flash it

Carrier branded is not the same as carrier locked, (which is now illegal in the U.K.), and it would appear that the eBay seller is offloading carrier branded devices.

Hi mine says this and it doesn't show.

@Daveny1980 

You have a carrier branded firmware, EVR, for EE and BT and are therefore not eligible for Beta firmware. 

It looks as though Beta testing may now be over...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, Flip4's beta testers in the US get Android 13-based One UI 5.0 stable update

Based on today's news that you wrote above, I expect a stable release next week. By the way, what was received in the US as the Final, in the UK it is Beta4 !!! :)))

Looks like they have re-branded the test Beta 4, ZKV3, and released it as a stable, BKV3, firmware in the USA.

Can't see the option to join the beta on an unlocked BTB CSC. Any advise?

All phones sold in the U.K. are now carrier unlocked by law. See...

However, this is different from carrier branded phones that run stock Samsung firmware that has been adapted for a particular carrier's use and is therefore not eligible for beta testing.

Where did you purchase your phone from and which carrier are you on?

[EDIT] BTB seems to be carrier branded for BT. See... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/difference-between-btb-and-bte-s22-firmware.4453277/post-86985581
