First of all, as you all know - you are responsible for anything that you do to your device, neither me nor anyone helping you are responsible for it. Of course this generous community will help you through if anything unexpected happens.
and just to make sure that you're not an idiot, this is for SAMSUNG phones only and only for S21 Series. YOU CAN TRY THIS METHOD ON OTHER SAMSUNG DEVICE BUT YOU WILL NEED UPDATE FILE OF ONE UI BETA 4 FOR THE DEVICE YOU TRYING TO FLASH
-- The process I am explaining and/or describing here is tested by me and it works 100%. I have Canadian S21ultra which is not part of the beta program, I tried to install beta update on Canadian firmware but it failed so I tried this method and I have successfully installed ONE UI 4 Beta and everything works. This should work with S21/S21+
This is a few steps process so read carefully through each and every step, I am gonna try to keep this as easy and noob friendly as possible, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
-- This process will take place in 4 parts so it doesn't get confusing, it needs to go in chronological order.
Step 1 : Download needed files and tools for your device
Step 2 : Backup your data
Step 3 : Flash current stable firmware for your device family either exynos or snapdragon via ODIN
Step 4 : Install One UI 4 Beta 1
Step 1 : Download needed files and tools
1. ODIN tool to flash the firmware (Search xda/Google for this)2. SDK Platform-tools from here SDK Platform-tools - once downloaded, extract files3. CURRENT stock firmware of the device (One UI 3.1) - This is the latest One UI 3.1 firmware from the country getting beta updates.- For Example : If you are installing UK One UI beta, Download Latest Stable One UI 3.1 firmware from UK which is compatible for your device (Please make sure it is the same processer as your current device, if you have exynos S21 device, download exynos and if you have snapdragon version download snapdragon one) -- you can download it from Galaxy Firmware Website or website or source of your choice.- Extract Firmware zip.4. Beta Update zip file - Copy this file in Platform-tools folder and rename it to update.zip if needed.Snapdragon Version : Click HereExynos Version : Click HereStep 2 : Backup your data (Recommended but not necessary)
1. Samsung smart switch for Computer -- From Here2. Samsung Cloud Backup - from settings of your device.3. Google Backup - from settings of your device.Step 3 : Flash Current stable firmware corresponding of your device family either exynos or snapdragon via ODIN - This step will wipe all the data on your phone.
1. Open ODIN executable file (i.e. exe)2. Connect your phone in download mode to the computer via USB cable (Turn off your phone, while pressing volume up+down button, plug in the USB Cable to your computer, you will see teal screen with some disclaimers on your phone, press volume up)3. Click on BL on ODIN screen and navigate to the folder where you extracted firmware from step 1, click on file name starting with BL_xxx.tar.md5, wait for it to populate in ODIN. Repeat process with AP, CP and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC) in ODIN (AP will take a lot of time to load so grab a coffee/bear/Tea or whatever you like while that processes).4. Click start and wait for that to be finished5. You will see success in ODIN and your device will reboot to the system6. Turn off your device by pressing power button once its booted.Step 4 : Install One UI Beta 1 update
1. Boot your phone into recovery by continue pressing power and volume up button, once you see the samsung logo release both buttons.2. Select Install update from adb3. Open platform-tools on your Computer, hold shift and right click - select open command prompt here.4. write adb sideload update.zip5. Wait till the process finished.6. Power On your phone by pressing power buttons and your device should boot into One UI 4 Beta.7. Follow on-screen instruction to set-up your phone.

yes , he mentioned to flash csc not home csc in step 3
Thank you for the helpful instructions. But , as you already know, a noob question is a must . I own a Hong Kong version of the S21 ultra which is SM-N9980 , snapdragon of course. Can I flash a US or UK firmware that has a different model number in order for me to sideload the One UI 4.0 ?
Thank you for your patience.

Guessing it's a snapdragon processor, latest US 3.1 firmware (G998U1) one would be your best bet.
But I guess it has been said they're not compatible with each other!
Different build number versions conflicts!

It's not a guide that is needed, but the download links of the Exynos variants haha.
That's the real problem here..
Does this change available bands? I have a Canadian S21U as well on Telus but wondering if it changes bands to the UK.

Sorry I saw in your example the UK one was mentioned but did not realize that they only had Exynos.
Which firmware did you flash on yours to get it to work? US T-Mobile? And would that also change which bands are available (since I assume it also flashes a different baseband)?

VZW variant from US, and I think most of the network bands are same for US and Canada. So you won't have any problem with network. P.S. I am with Telus too and everything works

Because the beta update package was from vzw , just wanted to stick to one carrier.

OXM CSC so non carrier specific users should be fine.
Installation:
Step 1
Download Odin 3.13.1. Older versions won't work.
Step 2
Download and unzip the provided firmware. You should have 5 files in the folder
Step 3
Open Odin, and browse the files to their respective places. CSC: If you want to keep your data, select the HOME_CSC file, if you want a fresh installation, go with the regular CSC
Step 4
Power off your phone, then hold Volume Down + Bixby + Power. Once you see the warning screen, you can let go. Press Volume Up to enter download mode.
Step 5
Connect your phone to the PC and press Start in Odin. Once its finished, it'll automatically restart the phone.
Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing community here, starting from the ever so patient moderators, up to the brave people who let me experiment on their machines to get the OTA links during this beta program (both S9, S9+ and even Note 9). A very special thanks goes out of course to the great @Wishmasterflo who was the first one to let me mess around with multiple computers he owns until we got it just right and established a certain solution to give you guys all the updates almost instantly. Kudos to him, and to all you who in the course of the last few months came here to help out other people!
We may convert this thread to a general S9 Pie discussion if it's okay with the mods, now that the beta is over.
Thank you all, and enjoy the great update Samsung blessed us with this Christmas!

Instructions:
SD card method
Download the necessary update.zip(s) for your device according to your current software version.
Step 1
Copy the update.zip file to your SD card.
Step 2
Reboot the device into Recovery mode. (Turn off the phone, then Vol Up + Bixby + Power button)
Step 3
Go to apply update from SD card.
Step 4
Install the update, and be patient.
Many people have reported that on ZRKA, they're unable to apply new updates from SD because of SD card mounting errors.
First try formatting your card on your phone, and try again. If that fails, use adb sideloading.
Edit: The most effective way I came across for this issue is to actually use a PC (or a phone utility) to format the SD Card with FAT32, then try the update.
ADB Sideloading
Download the necessary update.zip(s) for your device according to your current software version.
Step 1
Download the latest ADB ZIP file (Windows), then extract it to C:\adb
Step 2
Download and install adb drivers.
Step 3
Copy the update.zip file to C:\adb (or wherever your adb.exe file is)
Step 4
Put your phone in recovery mode and select Apply update from ADB, then connect it to your PC
Step 5
Wait until your PC installs the drivers, if you're doing this for the first time.
Step 6
Open command prompt, navigate to C:\adb (or wherever your adb.exe and update.zip is)
Step 7
Issue the following command: adb devices
If you can see a device in 'sideload' mode, you can proceed to step 8, otherwise you may have some troubleshooting to do.
Step 8
Issue the following command: adb sideload update.zip
Step 9
Be patient, and enjoy your update.
NOTE: You can't go directly from BRJ6 to the latest update, you have to start with ZRKA and apply them one by one.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO PERFORM A FACTORY RESET IF YOU'RE UPDATING FROM BRJ6 (Basically after a main system version upgrade). Otherwise its not necessary, but for
the most optimal performance and battery life, it is advised.

I write with the chat from Samsung and they only write that they have no informations :highfive:
The beta came to me a few minutes ago and is installing now. Funny I didn't sign up for it until about an hour ago This is on the US Snapdragon.
Can someone try installing the latest version of Samsung members and giving it a go?

So, this is my service provider SW ver. : EUR/EUR,DBT/DBT
Am I valid for the upcoming beta?
I run the latest Samsung Members 2.4.70.11, but no registration to the upcoming beta exists. Is there something I should do, or just wait for both registration and update to beta?
Think we have to wait till 20th.

If you unroot and flash stock FW by odin then you will receive OTA again.
Let me start off by stating that this is by no means my tutorial, all information was gathered from this community and organized into, hopefully, a helpful tut. Thank you to Max Weinbach, who originally posted this tutorial - due to issues with the file hosting server, that page hasn't been updated in a bit. Hopefully this will help in the meantime... And a big thank you to Venom0642 for hosting these files!
NO ROOT!!!
MUST BE SNAPDRAGON VARIANT (SM-N960, SM-N960U1, SM-N960W)
Optional: This will wipe the data on your phone. Use SmartSwitch to backup your phones data to your computer
Step 1: Download the 3 Items listed below (AT&T N960USQS1ARJA, Odin3, N960USQS1ARJA-U1CSA7)
Venom0642 said:
Download here: AT&T N960USQS1ARJA

Venom0642 said:
Download here: N960USQS1ARJA-U1CSA7
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2: Copy or Move the "N960USQS1ARJA-U1CSA7.zip" file to your SD card and insert SD card into your Note 9 - If you do not have an SD card you can use ADB sideload to flash this .zip later in the process but I will not be going into much detail on this option. Skip this step if this is you and I will let you know when to use adb later on
Step 3: Unzip the "AT&T_N960USQS1ARJA" folder - Notice that you will have 5 files within this folder, we will only be using the 4 that begin with BL, AP, CP, and CSC
Step 4: Unzip the "Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD" folder and launch the Odin3 executable
Step 5: Within Odin, click on the "BL" box and navigate to your "AT&T_N960USQS1ARJA" folder and select the corresponding file that beings with "BL". Do the same thing for the AP, CP and CSC fields within Odin, you can leave USERDATA empty - The BL, AP, CP, and CSC fields within Odin should now be populated with the "AT&T_N960USQS1ARJA" files
Step 6: Power down your phone. Once it is off, enter Odin mode by: holding Power button + Volume Down + Bixby button - Your phone may prompt you asking if you want to download a custom OS, press the Volume Up button to continue.
Step 7: Plug your Note 9 into your computer - If Odin is communicating with your phone, on the left hand side of the screen (odin on your computer), under "Log", you should see something like "Added!!"
Step 8: Hit "Start" within Odin - Your phone will now flash to N960USQS1ARJA and will automatically reboot into recovery mode when it is done. This will take a few minutes!
Step 9: You should now be in recovery mode. If you are not, power down your phone and boot into recovery by holding Power button + Volume Up + Bixby button. Use the volume keys to highlight "Wipe data/factory reset" , use the Power button to select it and select "Yes" to continue. - After the wipe completes, you will be brought back to the main menu of Recovery Mode
Step 10: Use the volume keys to highlight “apply update from SD card” and select it with the power key - If you do not have an SD card, this is where you would select "apply update from adb", open a command prompt/terminal on your computer and type: adb sideload <file location of N960USQS1ARJA-U1CSA7.zip>
Step 11: Now find the N960USQS1ARJA-U1CSA7.zip file that you put onto your SD card earlier by using the volume buttons to navigate and power button to select it - Your phone will now flash to N960USQU1CSA7 (Pie/OneUI) and will boot up normally when it is finished. This will take a few minutes!
Step 12: You are now on Android Pie. Walk through the normal startup menus and then use SmartSwitch to restore your data. Done!
Hope this helps a few people! I will try to keep this thread up to date with current builds as Venom0642 makes them available

I don't think so, as far as I know you can't crossflash firmwares from different variants (in this Case N960U or N960U1 to N9600 or vice versa).
But I'm on the same boat, mine is also N9600 and eagerly waiting for any sign of Pie.
Have you seen the release notes for Pie in the members app? Make no sense to me.

Happy to help brotha! Venom already answered your question, but yes you can do step 1 (even though you don't need all of those files) and step 2 and then skip right to step 9

I don't think so, as far as I know you can't crossflash firmwares from different variants (in this Case N960U or N960U1 to N9600 or vice versa).
But I'm on the same boat, mine is also N9600 and eagerly waiting for any sign of Pie.
Have you seen the release notes for Pie in the members app? Make no sense to me.

I saw the release notes now and they said march only
My release notes only contain a mess... no mention of note 9, only low or mid tier devices listed with date 28th of February.
I'm using Samsung Note 9 N600 dual SIM. Can I update using this method.
For those who aren't already aware, N960U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Note 9. The N960U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware
- want to convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware)
For those who aren't already aware, anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want, via the various firmware download tools posted here on XDA like SamFirm or Frija. There are threads and info about them here on XDA so I won't waste time explaining - do a search if you're not already familiar with these tools. But they only provide whatever the latest/newest/current version is - nothing older. I pay for a subscription to a site that gets the official releases (usually) before they hit the firmware download tools, so that's where my files come from.
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" -type post/thread, so I won't list basic, step-by-step flashing instructions. My threads are geared towards those who already know what they're doing. If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware (or haven't done it in a long time), I recommend you consult one of those "beginner's" guides- there are tons of them here on XDA.
Happy flashing!

Notes:
- DON'T QUOTE THE OP WHEN YOU REPLY, kthx
- I have lots of threads just like this one for other Samsung flagships, if it interests you. For those who have already made use of my previous threads for a different device and are upgrading to a Note 9, welcome back
- My zips are compressed extra small for space and bandwidth savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- it's quite time consuming to download the files, zip them up, and upload them to AFH. And, I do threads like this for every single Sx and Note x model, so I won't be uploading every single version. The only full builds that I upload are ones where I get access to a new bootloader and/or Android version early, before they hit the firmware download tools.
- My naming method for folders on AFH is: build - bootloader - Android version
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data. Flashing USERDATA will also wipe data.
- Since AT&T doesn't allow their firmware to be publicly available (for any of their devices), I'll try to always upload at least one USERDATA per bootloader increment for AT&T (and Cricket, if they get this model). I'll also upload any full builds if AT&T is the only carrier to get that specific build, because you won't be able to find the files anywhere else.
- For identifying USERDATAS, and to know what region/CSC to use in the firmware download tools if you're downloading yourself:
AIO = Cricket (not available via firmware download tools)
ATT = AT&T (not available via firmware download tools)
BST = Boost Mobile
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
DSH = Dish Network
SPR = Sprint
TMB = T-Mobile
TMK = Metro PCS
USC = US Cellular
VZW = Verizon (available via firmware download tools, but Manual Entry is required - Auto will not work)
XAA = U1 firmware
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another carrier's firmware is:
1. Flash full U1 firmware package including non HOME CSC
2. Upon boot, insert a SIM of the carrier whose firmware you want
3. Watch for the popup that says "reboot to apply new carrier settings" etc, and do it
4. After that restart completes, reboot back to Download mode and flash the full U firmware package, with the USERDATA file of the carrier whose firmware you want

I'm currently on N960USQS2CSGB with my phone being on AT&T's network. Originally it was a Verizon note 9 and I swapped the SIM card. I then flashed the unlocked firmware to it to try to get VoLTE to work, but that didn't work so I flashed N960USQS2CSGA to the phone in hopes that I could get AT&T's firmware working. If I'm understanding correctly the USERDATA is where all the AT&T specific software and code is, so I'm wondering if I flash just the USERDATA, could I get the AT&T specific features to work. I got the OTA update to N960USQS2CSGB but that didn't fix the issue.

Thanks! I guess I'll be buying a new phone then, because I'm missing calls. The phone has to drop down from LTE to make or receive a call and it takes several seconds. I've had people call me and it ring all the way through before my phone steps down. When I make a call it takes about 10-15 seconds before it rings out. Oh well, I appreciate your help and quick replies!

These are used for converting from one carrier's U firmware to AT&T's, or from U1 firmware back to U firmware with AT&T features and bloat. I know these are much tougher to find than other carriers' files - they can't be obtained from SamFirm or SamMobile. So I'll be uploading at least one for each bootloader version. Firmware is universal on U models so you can use the other 4 Odin files from any other firmware of the same build. Can probably even mix and match builds (as long as the Android version is the same), if you can't find files for the exact same build. Can't mix and match bootloaders though, so the other 4 files have to at least be from the same bootloader.
- I remove the .md5 from each file solely for faster flashing (Odin won't check the hash without it). Rest assured, the files are perfectly fine and safe - Odin has a million safechecks built in.
- My naming method for AFH folders is: build - bootloader - Android version.
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- USERDATAs for any other CSCs can be gotten from SamFirm - for the latest version. If you need an old USERDATA for a CSC that's not commonly found on SamMobile (ACG, LRA, TFN, etc), let me know and I can probably get it.

Do you ha e the user data for SGB-2? I saw that you have SGA-2. Interchangeable? Or if they are not, do you have SGB-2?
Noob question but if I do flash the N960USQU2CSGA firmware for AT&T with the USERDATA provided here, I should be good for my unlocked Note 9 which is on N960U1UES2CSF9 right?
Also I would be able to get future updates OTA since I have an AT&T sim, right?

I have the samsung galaxy note 9 F/DS what file would I need to flash to make my phone an at&t phone. I really want the wifi calling and enhanced messaging features. I recently got an OTA update that allowed me to be able to do volte calls but still no video calling wifi calling or enhanced messaging. Please help.
I have been using Note9 Exynos 128GB Singapore version. Last update was on October'19. I'm yet to get Android 10 update. Need to know is there anyone facing same issue? Anyone have any update on getting OTA for Singapore version?
According to Samsung, the note 9 in all Versions will not get Android 10 before February 2020. My Provider here in Europe told me the same, so i made oan update with odin.
But anyway, the update is officially not out yet, according to samsung.

If I do update using odin, will I need to do rooting? One I update using Odin, will there be official update coming regularly?
It hasn’t been release yet in Singapore.
Samsung said February. However today is Feb 26 and still nothing. The gang of three (Singtel, Starhub and M3) have to put their rubbish in the rom so they won’t meet the deadline I think. Every year the same story. Singapore gets less frequent update than other markets making Samsung phones a real security hazard. I have to praise Apple for cutting the telcos and going on their own update cycle.
I applied the update on my Note 9 but I am having battery life issues. Have to use power saving mode all the time if not the battery is gone within half a day. I will do a full reset once the official XSP built for Singapore is out.
My wife's s9 has received the update. Me on the other hand, note 9, still nothing. They are Soo freaking slow with updates.
I downloaded and flashed the German rom from sammobile website using odin. Now my note 9 is running One UI 2 and Android 10 with Feb 2020 security patch. Everything seems to be working well so far
Note: when flashing using Odin, select "home csc" to preserve user data, or "csc" for full wipe. Personally I did a full wipe
Using N960F bought from M1, using on Gomo network (previously Starhub)
Can you please teach me how to update my NOTE 9 128gb variant from STARHUB? I'm getting frustrated about this. Everyone in the whole world got the android 10 update, Singapore is always last on the list.

You should be getting it soon. As I got the Android 10 update a couple of months after it was released in Germany.
All the countries using the N960F Variant received the Android 10 update. There is even up to 4 different built with bug fixes and security updates.
Last built released in Singapore: Oct 24...

You can follow these steps (works for both telco and retail models, so will work on your Starhub model too):
1. Download the firmware for N960F model from sammobile ( I downloaded both UK BTU and German DBT rom and both worked - currently using the German one, I think it doesn't matter which country the firmware is designed for as long as it isn't tied to a specific carrier).
Note: the rom is quite big, around 5GB so be patient. I left my laptop on overnight while the rom downloaded.
2. Unzip the rom and you should see 5 files inside the folder
3. Use Odin to flash the files (please backup all data before attempting to make any modification to your software - I used Samsung cloud to back up phone settings and manually backed up everything else to micro sd)
a) download latest odin version and unzip it. Run the exe
b) Add the respective files. The BL, AP, CP and CSC files are named accordingly. Make sure to select the correct files for each selection while flashing. To preserve data on your phone, select the home csc file instead of csc. Selecting csc will wipe the entire phone giving you a clean reset.
c) your phone needs to be booted to recovery mode in order to flash the rom
4. Enjoy your Samsung note 9 with Android 10
If unsure, just google for detailed instructions on how to use odin.
Hope it helps!

Yup this is no issue. Flashing the official samsung rom via Odin is like manually updating the software and we are not making any "illegal" modification which can trip Knox, so no worry about warranty being voided.
I have attached a screenshot of my current software info. As you can see, my handset was bought from M1 shop. After I flashed a non-Singapore rom, the original carrier info remains intact so I can use the phone without any issue. In your case, after flashing the rom, your carrier info will still remain as Starhub
If you manage to update your phone successfully to Android 10 with no issue, just post it here so that others can update their phones too. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Reminder: Please backup everything before updating to be on the safe side
I'm back! I followed your instruction and the instruction from Sammobile. Everything went well! So far no problem after updating to Android 10. At first I was worried that when I upgrade it, my phone will be locked or bricked because I'm still paying it monthly at Starhub. But now I can still use my phone. I made sure to back up first using Samsung Smart Switch. I love the android 10 update. Everything becomes smooth and fast! Thank you very much!

This is such a great guide!
Out of curiosity, is it normal for the beta build to periodically "restart"? I noticed that the lock screen flashed, reloaded, it required me to use the PIN (instead of face/finger print). When I checked the uptime on the phone that stayed the same.
Any ideas?
Can some tell me if I have a Verizon S21U (SM-998U) on 4AUIG how can I install the beta? Will this method work? Thanks

Yes this will work, you will have to use Odin 3.14.1 patcheD, downgrade to 998U1 XAA AUH9, then factory reset, enter adb sideload, flash beta 1, reboot, reboot to sideload, flash beta 2, factory reset, reboot, done.
All files are linked in the guide
EDIT:
OR you can use the 998U beta files lingering around here, really doesn't matter, only difference is that the CSC I believe has to match, so if you have 998U VZN, and the beta 1 update is for 998U TMB, then it's going to see that the firmware is different and I think it's going to fail, which means you have to flash whichever one is for the update zip first. Which the person who uploaded should say their exact firmware they were on that they captured the update from.
This is why U1 is just easier, there's only one, they're all XAA, no CSC stuff to worry about, no carrier bloatapps in the background. It's the ideal choice for the best experience.

thank for your explanation and recommendation! Greatly appreciated.
Hi! My s21u CSC is ZTO (Brazil), part of OWO multi-CSC, and it's still on AUHB firmware. Can I manually update to AUHD? Or do I have to wait for the AUHD update specifically for my CSC and only then update to ZUID (Beta 1) and then to ZUJ1 (Beta 2)? Also, the device is not rooted yet.

You can manually wait but the likely hood of something for that specific model being leaked around here probably won't happen.
Best to just use patched odin to flash auh9, flash zuid beta one, reboot, flash zuj1 beta 2, factory reset, start from there and call it a day. wait for leaked updates to appear here, it's going to be the most common device to get leaked builds
I did some research @hthiengo and I found a few things
