Update to Nougat

The update.zip worked for me, but I didn't use the SD card method, so I can't verify this works right now. Give this method a shot and tell me if it works.
IF YOU ARE ON PH1, rename this S7Nupdate.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
IF YOU ARE ON PI3, rename this PI3_PK4update.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
UPDATE: S7update2.zip Rename this to update.zip and follow the same procedure AFTER YOU HAVE UPDATED TO THE FIRST BETA(PK4).

A method has been found to install the beta without being accepted!
Thanks @jrkruse for finding this method!
1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
2. If it does not then you must odin the PH1 firmware, use the pit file and the full csc not the home csc file
3. go through setup
4. enable developer options
5. turn OEM unlock off
6. enable USB debugging
7. place Update.zip on Ext sd card in folder named fota
8. power off phone
9. reboot to download mode make sure both system and binary are official.
10. reboot to recovery (Power + volume down + home)
11. choose apply Update.zip from SD card
12. find Update.zip in the fota folder you created on your Ext sdcard
13. click yes to apply
After this it should update to the Android 7.0 beta and hopefully will be able to download future beta OTAs.
You will not lose anything as this is an OTA
You do not want to be rooted. You must be stock for this to work!
There is no gear VR available on the beta.
Troubleshooting:
"E: footer is wrong" followed by "E: signature verification failed" : Decrypt SD Card and try again.

Downloading! You sir are our savior! Edit:Updating now! WOOOO!

It works and it's smooth

Worked

Will it work with 930u firmware on a verizon phone?

It worked for me... Pm me your PayPal address for the pledge I made

No sir. I didn't do anything special other than being the first to upload a file. I haven't done anything to deserve any payment. My time is free on this.

also can verify it works.. Thank you so much!

Man it's tempting to flash this, I definitely downloaded it. I'm on tmobile. Going to try wand wait to see if I get it officially. It's hard.

Thank you so much! It worked flawlessly!

Perhaps too many people are downloading all at once. Maybe try again in a few minutes. I just tried and was able to get through.

Excellent, I'll keep trying. So all i have to do is rename it update.zip and make a folder in my sdcard called fota and update through recovery? Internal sdcard or external?

Awesome. Thanks for all your help guys!

1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
where do I find the official? Doesn't say anything under download mode or settings. Downloading zip now. Thanks so much.
found it under settings/about phone/status on very bottom.

I'm at 91% complete by using update over ADB, since I didn't have an SD card available. Will report back.
Update: Working great!
I downloaded the update, changed the name to update.zip, downloaded minimal ADb and fastboot, put the phone in download mode, selected 'update over adb', and then used adb sideload update.zip....boom...success!
I'll tell you what...I have a new car with Android Auto, which I use to listen to Spotify, mostly. The audio quality is noticably and significantly better on the nougat update with performance mode enabled. It made my day!
Thanks for taking the time to grab the file, OP!

ADB sideload only update S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6. 1.41 GB file seems to me like nougat update.
Nougat Update Here S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6
MD5 checksum : 903aa5c5f26f430133481c4a2cfcdb69
Thanks for ABD instruction @ColoMtn
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5
8. Navigate to the directory that contains the update ‘SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip’
*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat
EDIT: Please post mirrors if you can. Thanks
For who may need it this is S4CQA1 to U4QC6 update. File is around 1.5 GB and MD5 is 23d4d4c58330b618001e76fc468732d9

Congratulations! Hopefully 928a will have it soon

On what firmware currently are you? This update is only from baseband N920AUCS4CQB2. Also you may have corrupted recovery. To fix this you have to ODIN back to latest firmware and try again.
Anyway just in case i'm uploading raw file w/o .zip extension to another place.

Sounds like the download is getting a corrupted file. I would either DL and install the factory image (if BL unlocked) with the -w removed from the flashall file or sideload the OTA (if not unlocked).

sorry mate - im not that techy but knowing me ill probaly brick my phone..what is bl, and -w ????? ...sorry not techy

https://developers.google.com/android/images
Straight from the source with detailed instructions.

Since he is not unlocked, he should sideload the full OTA from here
https://developers.google.com/android/ota

I would recommend a full system install given that you purchased the phone from someone. Wouldn't want anything malicious on the phone that the previous owner might have left in.

yes i would do that but not very techy, its still under warranty for another 15 days i think as i have the receipt, but the back glass is cracked , hence google say warranty is void..seems to reboot all by itself and sometimes just switches off..

i would do that but i dont have a clue as to where and how to do this ?

ok found this site to reflash to factory settings..HERE
ive downloaded the files but dont understand where to put the files, the instructions are below but not sure what they mean..it says "computer’s system partition" ???..is that drive C ?
where do i put the image that ive downloaded...into the folder called " Platform-tools folder"
what about the google usb drivers ?....do i put the actual usb folder or its contents into the "platform-tools folder"?
its confusing ..
what do they mean by this "Go to Platform-tools folder. Here you need to launch a Command Prompt / Terminal window with administrative rights."
how do i do that ?
Here’s how to do it:
Download the Platform-Tools zip corresponding to your computer’s operating system:
– for Windows PC click here.
– for Mac OS click here.
– for Linux click here.
unzip the file after the download is complete.
you will obtain the Platform-Tools files, save them all on your computer’s system partition.
– make sure to leave the Platform-Tools name as the default folder name.
next, download the Google USB drivers from here.
Next you can continue to the tutorial and learn how to flash a factory image for your device.
How to install Android 7.1.2 Factory Image for Google Pixel XL:
Download the Android 7.1.2 Nougat factory image file from here.
Extract the archived contents and save them on your PC.
Place all the extracted files in the Platform-tools folder.
– that’s the folder obtained using the steps above the tutorial.

well..somehow it managed to update to android oreo 8.0......after trying all day, will see how the phone performs...its rebooted byitself once already, dont know if that was because it was installling something but update has been done....still think this phone has some hardware problem as the screen froze when i was entering my google play details.....weird phone...

How To Guide Installing OneUI 4 Beta / Android 12 on US Galaxy Z Fold 3 F926U/1

Updated with more compatible adb link!
This is what I did to get the new beta. Feel free to tell me how dumb I am for allowing noobies to try the beta, but the more the merrier and they should know the risks....
RISKS: Phone may not be as stable as before and you will lose all your apps and data. Camera is bugged for me
1. BACK UP YOUR CURRENT BUILD USING SMART SWITCH. THIS WILL WIPE DALVIK/CACHE/DATA. Get SmartSwitch for PC HERE
2. Download Samsung Drivers for ADB/ODIN HERE
3. If you are on firmware ending in AUI5 for the CSC version XAA then skip to step #6 . If you are not, then download the respective firmware HERE
Also Download Patched ODIN (Patched version will be less scrutinous) HERE
4. Unzip the firmware you just downloaded as well as the Patched Odin. Run ODIN and add the BL, AP, CP, Home_CSC from the unzipped firmware to the corresponding locations in ODIN
5. Turn off phone and boot into "Download Mode" by first holding Volume +/- buttons and then hold the Power button. Now plug in your phone to your PC and you will see the first small grey square in the upper left side of ODIN turn light blue (if it does not, you have issues with either the cable or drivers).
Proceed in flashing the device by simply clicking the "Start" button.
Once it is done and your phone has rebooted... Make sure that you complete the setup process just in case of authentication issues if the phone isn't already set up
6. Download the OneUI 4 Beta HERE and then follow the guide to install adb https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
7. Follow the XDA adb install guide and make sure to allow adb systemwide when asked by the program.
8. Turn off phone. Boot into device by holding Volume Up and then holding Power. This will take you into recovery mode, where you will see the option to "update via ADB sideload".
Use the volume down key to navigate down to that option and press power to initiate the adb sideload function
9. Open command prompt by pressing the Windows key and typing "cmd" (no quotes) and press ENTER.
10. Type into the command prompt (of course remove the quotes) "adb sideload C:\path\to\your\oneui4\zip\file" . For example if I download that file into my Downloads folder, I would then type "adb sideload C:\Users\MyPC\Downloads\949981470b3948c3aa05a19e8a2edbd3.zip"

This is for US Fold 3 models f926U/1. Sorry brotha. Basically you need to change the beta file you downloaded to this http://fota-secure-dn.ospserver.net...48:16&px-unum=&px-nb=UGtezEZ854jbmFcvWGxLEA== as well as flash AUJ7 firmware first. I hear UK with CSC BTE works fine. Get it at https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-F926B/BTE/F926BXXU1AUJ7 . After you replaced those files, just follow the instructions again

Thanks for this Guide. But i have issue with Adb sideload update.zip
I downgrade to AUI5 and been using XAA firmware since i bought T-mobile Zfold3.
And since beta was released, I'd been trying to register for OneUI4 in Samsung Memeber app but No Banner or under rBenefit tab.
So saw your guide here and tried to followed your direction but adb sideload fails i get CANNOT READ message.
when i typed adb Devices it shows my device so adb is working but cannot sideload.
when i downloaded the update it was .bin 949981470b3948c3aa05a19e8a2edbd3.bin so i renamed it to .zip, i got the CANNOT READ message then renamed it to update.zip still the same Cannot Read.
I am using windows 11.

Haven't logged in to XDA in years. Just wanted to say THANK YOU.

Don't rename the file.
What I always do with adb related stuff is put it in the root of my C drive. So it would be
Code:
C:\adb\platform-tools\
Then put the .bin file in here as well.
After that open cmd and do
Code:
cd C:\adb\platform-tools\
and hit enter.
After that do adb sideload 94 and hit tab so it should autofill the name of the update file.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the instructions as they worked for me. I did receive an error before it finished at "(~94%) adb: failed to read command: No error". Phone booted and the system is showing One UI version 4.0, Android Version 12.
QUESTION though. What is up with the difference in Baseband version? I am seeing the official release having the last 2 digits of "JF" but on the phone just flashed, it is showing "JH".
For reference, complete Baseband version: F929U1UEU1ZUJH after flashing. Might just be my ignorance but thought I would ask.
Thoughts? And thank you again!

The baseband is just something that gets updated, so ZUJH is the Android 12 beta firmware. Every time you update your firmware the baseband gets updated as well.
More technical: Baseband is firmware that controls all radio devices on the phone, including GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, cellular data, and more.

Will this work on att Galaxy fold 3 since I can't get update cause att blocks it.

I updated my SM-F926U1 with the Beta 4 its really buggy for me
Just want to get my facts straight. Can I just flash back to non-beta ?
What will happen to my Beta status will I still be able to OTA update when the next beta comes out ?

I have updated this with the newer adb binary install guide. I use the latest binaries from Android Studio and add them to path manually so I didnt know the 15 second installer was that outdated
Also yes you can downgrade by flashing the AUI5 that I posted in the guide

You just have to make sure you use the boot.img from the exact firmware you are on now. Let me know if it worked.

so S001135 was last Offizial ROM from Lenovo , just was waiting to install this one as root.
because every three month Lenovo release OTA-Update for some Update and get worse.
After rooting tablet and lenovo release update, " boot.img" must be change back to install OTA Update from lenovo .
Now it seams this OS will be stable on Lenovo YT_X705F SMART TAB.
But still probs on running differnt APPS on this doomed crap tablet, for this issue i'm looking on LineageOS

If you are on the same firmware S001135 then just use the boot.img I posted above. It should work. Also It would be better to disable system updates. I am creating a seperate post for running GSI of LineageOS and other ROMS.

SO you are not able to root the device?. I am on latest update and I rooted it. You can install the latest firmware from Rescue and Smart assistant. Just flash it onto your device. The downloaded ROM should be saved in C:\ProgramData\RSA\Rom files\YT-X705Fxxxx\.......There you should fine boot.img

Any help provided for X705X tab,It got A10 update.How can I get stock rom and boot image for the latest update?

Yes use RSA and flash the stock firmware. This stock firmware you flashed should be saved in your system's C:\ProgramData\RSA\Rom Files folder. Just get the required image files from there/

I did not flashed. I just downloaded the firmware. But it seems it is downloaded with some extension(.bmp Or pac which I did not check well).
How can I extract boot img from this?
I renamed to zip and extracted. But could not find any image files.
Can you help how did you do the extraction?
