@userMl252TNRLa UI 8.5 on the S26 Ultra is a released version. You can't roll back released versions of firmware. And you can't put firmware on a device which is earlier than the release firmware for that device.

@Antluv804 Does your device's model name end in "U"? If so, that is a carrier device and the beta is not available for carrier devices.
