Fold 7 8.5?

Have the galaxy fold 7. Ran Beta 8.5 , device is unlocked on T mobile.

Still have not been able to update to Stable 8.5

Any suggestions.

@Ursatao1963 Do you have the build ending in BZDN?

So far, that is the official build which has been pushed to Beta users.

I'm in the exact same boat (don't worry, I'll still row)

This is so weird cause my z flip 7 is unlocked and putting a T-Mobile physical sim (phone originally has Google Fi and Visible esim) triggered the update immediately.

Also was on beta. And kept checking constantly. But this sim thing worked.

I have the same issue. I have a physical sim on TMOB, and still stuck on the BZDD release and it will not update to BZDN. Sammy tech support was of no use.

Seems to be an issue with unlocked phones. The carriers have a way of pushing an update on demand, but not Sammy.

Figure I'll get a Fold 8 before Sammy fixes this!

Oh darn. I went through so many troubleshooting steps and was close to using Smart Switch for the stable version. Until I thought of trying a different sim and that worked.

I switched my T-Mob eSim to mine and still nada. On BZDD & unenrolled from beta.

Still no final post beta version here in the US for Unlocked, even though folks in Europe are getting BZE2 OTA!
