Flashing instructions for one UI 3.0

The following flashing instructions are quite generic. They should work with any Samsung Galaxy device on the market. However, there might be that due to a specific carrier model or any other factor, your device needs a unique variation.

Recovery ROM Installation for UI 3.0

There is a .bin file extension that comes with the Recovery ROMs. It can be installed through the stock Samsung recovery.

1. First, you need to rename the .bin file you downloaded to update.zip and transfer it to the base directory located on the SD card. Just placing the file in the phone’s internal storage won’t allow for the install, it needs to be only on the SD card.
2. Next, reboot the phone into recovery mode. To do so, you need to power it off and then press the Power, Bixby, and Volume Up buttons together.
3. Using the volume keys, scroll to “Update via SDcard”, and choose the option by tapping on the Power button.
4. One more time, use the Volume keys to navigate until you find the file we named “update.zip”, select the file using the Power button.
5. You must wait some time for the update to install.
6. Lastly, the device should reboot by itself automatically once the installation is completed.

Odin ROM installation for One UI 3.0

The Odin ROM will be available if the build hits a stable stage. Although there are other options, users would ideally need a Windows computer. The Odin ROMs are much more difficult to install than Recovery ROMs, yet sometimes they may be the only way to boot into a working system. Follow the instructions below for unlocking the bootloader of your phone.

1. First, you must download Odin onto your Windows computer. You should have official Samsung Android USB drivers installed while doing these steps.
2. Next, reboot your phone into Download mode by powering it off. Then, you must press the Power, Bixby, and Volume Down buttons together. Sometimes the key combo can vary depending on the device.
3. You must connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable.
4. Then, use Sam Firm or Frija to download the Odin ROM. After the download is finished, extract the file into a location you remember, as you will need to browse for it into Odin flasher.
5. Run Odin on the computer.
6. The software should detect the Samsung device and a blue box will show up with the COM port number.
7. Next, select individual ROM components from the exact location you extracted the files earlier. Then, click ‘Run” in Odin to flash the ROM file to the device.
8. There will be a progress bar. When it turns green, this means that the ROM was installed successfully. Lastly, the Samsung device should reboot automatically into the new version.
