Reverting back to one ui6.1 stable

[saulg]

I read that after I withdrew from one ui7 beta program I was supposed to receive a link in check for updates to be able to re download one ui6.1 stable. I never got that after I withdrew from the beta program. I then reset my phone and it still came back up with one ui7 beta 3 and still nothing in check for updates. How long do I need to wait after withdrawing from the beta program to get that link? My computer has Linux Mint so doing it through the computer isn't an option. Someone please answer this

You have to have a computer capable to run smart switch to revert back to 6.1 the steps are 

Withdrawn from Beta 

Connect phone to PC with Smart switch Running 

Click Downgrade OS 

It will then Download 6.1 to your computer and then transfer it to your phone  

P.s I might have missed a step

How long approximately does this take? I can use my wife's laptop with windows 11

doesn't take to long I think it took me 30 mins just depends on your internet speed since it will download a 40-60GB file to install

So what I read that since I withdrew from the beta program, when Samsung releases Beta 4 I won't get a link in software and updates and check for updates a link to downgrade to one ui6.1 stable?

No. Going back to stable is never an option OTA.

If using a computer is not an option, neither is going back to stable.

Hello,

You can always restore your software to One UI 6.1.1 via Smart Switch with the backed up data before Beta program!

I am passing my S24 Ultra on beta down to my son and want to factory reset, am I not able to do that?

[GaryB82]

You can factory reset it but it will stay on the Beta only way to remove the beta is to use smart switch and roll back the software
