Whilst the process is not that difficult, it does carry a degree of risk especially if you are downloading files from unofficial sources. The mods don't want you to brick your device or get it infected with malware or viruses. This is an official Samsung forum so we should respect their stance on this.  For those that are interested in taking the plunge, please do your own research. There is plenty of info out there about how to flash using the stock bootloader. If having done your research you still feel unsure then the right thing to do is wait for the official OTA.   My device is an S9+ which was on BJR6 BTU , and I flashed via the SD card method. I find this is more reliable than using adb sideload and I know from prior experience that an SD update should receive future OTA updates. I downloaded the S9+ firmware from a source that is already referenced elsewhere on this forum. Before I started I used Smart Switch to make a backup of my device.   The flashing operation took about 8 minutes, with a further 3 or so minutes post-boot until the phone was usable. I didn't clear /cache.   Post-boot, I can report that Knox has not been tripped, Samsung Members has welcomed me as a Beta member, Google Play and Google Pay are working (I've used the latter to make a payment) and so far I have not spotted any other issues. For me, doing this update was worth the risk given that there's been a delay in the official OTA. Worst case, I will flash back to  BJR6 BTU and join the OTA when it is released but fingers crossed I won't need to. I'm on XEU so I imagine the firmware you flashed should be the same for BTU and XEU, I don't suppose you have the link to the file please?

@Abiodun wrote: @Bradleigh wrote: There is a few ways to apply update.zip, this is the easiest IMO.. You can do it via ADB but that is something to difficult for some & requires a laptop with more tech knowledge. sorry..   You will need: Samsung S9 or S9+ 1x (Min) 2GB SD-CARD Internet Little Technical Knowhow   Lets get into how i done it..: 1. Download the update.zip on your device..(DO NOT EXTRACT) 2. Move or copy to an SD-CARD inside your device.. 3. Turn phone off 4. Hold power + bixby + volumeup, only let go of power when logo apears, KEEP holding other 2 buttons.. 5. Wait till you see recovery mode 6. Use volume keys to move up and down.. then select apply update from SD-CARD 7. It will then ask you to select the folder/file 8. Press power to select update.zip you downloaded earlier that is now on the SD-CARD 9. Wait for it to verify & let it restart itself.. 10. Be patient as above step can take upto 30minutes   You will not lose data, all apps and files will stay on your device, but as always backup just incase..!!    Installed on XXU for myself, worked like a charm for me, no issues at all..   Samsung Members APK LATEST VERSION https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-members/samsung-members-2-4-70-11-release/samsung-members-2-4-70-11-android-apk-download/    PLEASE READ!! This is to just update from a BRJ6 firmware To One UI... Check your version in settings>software information... If you have a BRJ3 firmware i can't promise you that this will work. Check to see if you can update to the latest November Security Patch, im sure this gets you BRJ6.. This is just an update.zip (ALL SAFE) I do not accept resposibilty from what you do to your device, you are held accountable for anything that may happpen..    Any Problems report back here, i will reply when i can So i did this last night and it all installed perfectly - tried to use Google pay today and it says its no longer available as i might have rooted my device... any idea if this can be fixed?  its because it doesnt see the beta as offical firmware. ...

Good use of the word crappy, for sure 😆 I don't have it installed anymore - baked into Android now for networks (pull down your notification bar and you should see a "Wifi Calling" icon in there somewhere).
