Well, it goes without saying that the beta builds are unstable in nature and come with a few underlying bugs and issues as well. But I guess the early adopters might be ready to make this sacrifice if in return they are the first in line to get blessed with Android 13. Talking about which, the easiest method to welcome this new update is to simply get yourself enrolled as a beta tester via the Samsung Members app. But if you have the update ZIP file in hand, then you could manually install it via the ADB Sideload feature. To do so, you may take two different approaches- either use a third-party app to carry out the sideload process without involving the PC or go for the native route of installing firmware via the ADB Sideload command using the PC. We have listed both these methods below, you may refer to the one that is in sync with your requirement [just take a backup beforehand].

Install Samsung One UI 5.0 using ADB Sideload and PC
While the aforementioned method is quite easy to execute and doesn’t require the need for a PC as well, but I guess not everyone might find it safe in converting a third-party app [Alliane Shield] into a Device Admin app. If you also echo this thought, then you should take the longer but much safer route of installing the One UI 5.0 update via the ADB Sideload command on your Samsung device. Here’s how it could be done:
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging on Samsung
Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging on your device so that your device is recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Recovery Mode. So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging.
STEP 3: Download One UI 5.0 Beta OTA File
STEP 4: Boot Samsung to Stock Recovery
STEP 5: Install One UI 5.0 Beta Android 13 via ADB Sideload
That’s it. These were the steps to install the One UI 5.0 update (based on Android 13) onto your Samsung device via the ADB Sideload method. All your queries are welcomed in the comments section below.
A Request to the Beta Testers Users
If you are one of the One UI 5.0 beta testers, then before downloading/installing the OTA, please spare your valuable 2 minutes and capture the OTA download link and share it with us via the comments section of this guide. It will be of great help for the rest of the users who are still looking for the update file to sideload to their device. Thanks in Advance.
