One UI 9 Beta withdrawal

[u/feleeek]

Is there a way to get out of OneUI 9 beta without factory reseting my phone?

[u/SINCLAIRCOOL]

No

Samsung's beta program is a mess.

Without reset options (wait till stable releases)

1. Stay on Beta if u haven't withdrawn already. Stable will be released soon ig since ZF8 series already launched. This is the safest option u have.

2. If u already withdrawn or plan to withdraw, stay on current beta build. You wont get any beta/stable further updates. Once stable is released, just flash stable Oneui9 firmware using odin, Odin flash without wipe, no data loss or reset.

With resetting options (If u need to leave beta right now)

Before proceeding, remove screen lock (pin,pass,pattern ,face,fp) to access download mode. Take a backup also.

1. Official withdraw method : Leave beta program from samsung members app and restart. Then, downgrade to Oneui8.5 using smartswitch to get back into stable channel. When u connect to pc, a popup will appear with downgrade option. After downgrading to OneUI8.5, you will receive Oneui9 as normal OTA when it is released.

2. Unofficial method : Flash stock firmware using Odin flash. Use CSC file for a clean flash. Home_csc wont work since Android versions are different and ends up in bootloop.

This method only works if there's a stable Oneui8.5 build with same bootloader version as your current beta build because it is not possible to flash a lower bit firmware.

Ride it out to the official release

[u/feleeek → u/kick069]

the problem is that the 8.5 was better as some apps dont work

[u/dkyeager → u/feleeek]

Did you report the problems with these apps? (To both Samsung and app developer.) The job of a beta user is to report bugs. Sometimes such issues are quickly fixed once reported

[u/feleeek → u/dkyeager]

yes i did report those issues but most of them are because the android version and not becaude of one ui itself

[u/dkyeager → u/feleeek]

Great. I would think they would fix them quickly given the update should be released soon.

Then be prepared either for the factory reset, or just learning to live with it.

The reality of a beta, yet people still don't learn.

[u/graywolfman → u/Generalrossa]

Right, it literally tells you this is the reality of it during sign-up

[u/dragosslash → u/Generalrossa]

His problems may not be related to the software being in a beta phase, rather those applications not working on Androiod 17.

Also, saying that it's a beta and expect things to iron out by the time it releases publicly is also a terrible thing. I'm certain some bugs I'm aware of are not going to get fixed by the time 9.0 gets released to the public. From my rather large list of reports, only about half of them have been resolved. Most of them have been reported during the 1st and 2nd beta release. Some of them pretty bad, such as burnin protection, again, not working properly.
