Hey everyone! 

If you’re stuck on the Samsung One UI beta and want to go back to the stable firmware, here’s how I did it safely:

Why You Won’t Receive Updates Normally:
  • Samsung’s update servers treat beta builds differently.
  • OTAs for stable firmware won’t push to a phone still on a beta build.
  • Only after flashing the correct stable firmware does your phone “rejoin” the official update track.
Steps I Followed:
  • Check your current build number: Beta builds usually end with something like ZYFA.
  • Download the official stable firmware for your exact model from a trusted site (I used SamFW). I downloaded the first one that came up for my S25, B(android 16). It's the latest stable firmware
  • Backup your data! Flashing firmware wipes everything. (USE SMART SWITCH FOR BACKUP ON PC)
  • Use Odin (for PC) to flash the stable firmware. Make sure to follow instructions carefully.
  • Reboot your phone after flashing , it should now be on the stable build.

Check for updates in Settings → Software update. You should now get regular OTA updates automatically.

Result: My phone is now fully on stable firmware, no beta bugs, and updates are back on track.

Tips:

  • Double-check your exact model number before downloading firmware.
  • Backup everything, don’t skip this step.
  • Flashing incorrectly can brick your device, so follow guides carefully. (I used youtube guide video of tech jarves "how to downgrade Samsung One ui 7 to 6") Just follow the same steps for Odin flash process

Hope this helps anyone feeling trapped in beta land!
