I posted this as a response to a thread and thought it needed it's own.
1. Please don't quote this post, I will be updating it a lot and quotes don't update
2. Keep checking this OP, I am editing and updating as I get new information
3. Tag me if something is not updated and you have new information in a response so people can have it and I will TRY and update this OP as much as I can. I do have a job, so that comes first, but I will keep an eye here and other places for updates.
Here is the link for the US Beta users (US ONLY)...
NOTE: It appears that if you are carrier locked, you will not be able to flash this - UNLESS - you first flash the Unlocked Firmware (your phone does not have to be unlocked, but on the non-carrier firmware). Flashing firmware this way WILL WIPE your device, however, the update.zip will NOT.
News: At this stage in the game, it appears that on US models, Android 12 with OneUI 4.x will NOT enable eSIM support.
European models it appears to work (or keep working) without fail.
This is for Android 12 (NOT 12L) and OneUI 4.0 Beta
Be warned:
1. There are some issues with installation that SOME users have had (stops at 47% and will not continue): This does NOT brick your phone, reboot and you will remain on Android 11, there is no fix at this time for it.
└ Update: Looks like this happens when you have a US Phone/Firmware but a NON-US SIM - Still gathering details on this one
└ Update: International Owners ( F926B )
If someone is having trouble with the 47% error while ADB sideloading , you MUST USE this file name:
cb9fbd13294b441aa85428c3b3b62303.bin
There is a signature verification , so that name is needed to complete that step of the process , before updating
2. Users have reported that 120Hz refresh on OUTER screen is broken, some others state they are okay, so keep an eye on this.
└ Update - Confirmed Fix: Looks like clearing PHONE CACHE (via bootloader) at least TWICE fixes this issue for most people
└ Update: For all of those who see this bug, just go to Settings-Display-Motion smoothness, and set it back to Standard for a second, then back to Adaptive. 120Hz will work just fine on the cover screen after that (verified with refresh rate debug overlay). - If this does not work, use above tip, that one seems reliable.
3. Some users state that once you flash the beta, revert back to 11 and then open Samsung Members App, you will see a proper invite to the Beta - This actually makes sense as you need to have the Unlocked Firmware, so the assumption here is that if you revert back to a carrier locked version, you will not see the Beta invite unless they open it with carriers.
4. It appears that failures in flashing can also be contributed to what update your Android 11 is on as well:
└ US: You need to be on the September 14 build to flash
└ International: Looks like expected build date is October 14 or the most recent
└ NOTE: These are NOT 100% confirmed, but observed

To Sideload:
- Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
└ https://www.stechguide.com/how-to-i...ired files to a particular location. See More.
└ Minimal ADB does *not* appear to work to serve the update.zip to this phone. You may need to download the full and proper ADB package from Google. - Download the OTA update .zip file on your PC and rename it to update.zip.
- Enable USB debugging:
└ Go to your phone’s settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” Seven times. This will enable Developer options on your phone.
└ Now go to Settings » Developer options » and tick the USB debugging check box. - Connect your phone to PC.
- Now open the folder where you downloaded the update.zip file and then open a command window inside the folder. To do that, do a “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
- Now issue the following command into the command window to reboot your device into recovery mode: adb reboot recovery
└ Check your phone’s screen, if it asks for “Allow USB debugging”, accept it by selecting OK/Yes. - Once in recovery mode, use Volume buttons to navigate up and down between options and Power button to select an option.
- Select the “Apply update from ADB” option.
- Now issue the following command to finally begin installing the OTA: adb sideload update.zip
└ This will begin the OTA installation. - Once the OTA zip is installed, the phone will auto reboot..it will take a little while for it to boot do not worry it is normal.
