Download OneUI 2.0 beta 6 for Galaxy S9/S9+

The easiest way to update Galaxy device to Android 10 is using the Samsung Members app. However, for the regions where the update is not yet available, you can download the OTA update zip and manually sideload it via stock recovery or ADB sideload method.

The Android 10 beta 5 OTA update zips are now available for download. Get the OTA from below and checkout our popular tutorial on Android 10 beta for the Galaxy S9 and S9+. All you need to do is download the OTA update zip and manually sideload it to your device. Here is how to update Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ to Android 10 One UI 2.0 beta [OTA downloads].

First, you will need the beta 5:

• Download Android 10 Beta 5 for Galaxy S9 series – One UI 2.0 ZTA2 build

Downloads: (beta 6 ZTA9)

• Exynos Galaxy S9+ One UI 2.0 | Download G965FXXU7ZTA2 to ZTA9 update zip
• Exynos Galaxy S9 One UI 2.0 | Download G960FXXU7ZTA2 to ZTA9 (coming soon…)

Note: The problem with the regular Galaxy S9 is that users missed to capture the previous Beta 4. So Beta 4 Hotfix and Beta 6 are of no use without the Beta 4. So the regular S9 may not get the next Betas. This is because Samsung released a bad Beta 4 update and had to quickly release another HotFix for the S9. So we missed to capture the Beta 4. Very unfortunate.

Solution: Don’t worry, Note 9 got the stable update. S9 will get the same anytime soon. You can use the Odin FlashTool to flash the stock Android 10 full stock firmware. That way you wouldn’t need the OTA updates and have full update by your side.
