One UI 7.0
If you joined the One UI 7 beta program on your Galaxy S24 in the US and want to return to the stable One UI 6.1, here’s an easy guide to do it safely.

The One UI 7 beta program specifically rolled out for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series in the US, promised early access to new features and improvements. However, beta software often comes with some bugs, glitches, and performance issues which can lead to frustration.

Trying new software might seem fun initially, but it can get old fast if it makes your phone less reliable. Since we don’t know when One UI 7 will be stable, returning to One UI 6.1 is a smart choice for many.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to downgrade your Galaxy S24 from One UI 7 Beta back to One UI 6.1:

1. Backup Your Data:

  • Before you start, ensure all your data is backed up. Use the Samsung Smart Switch on both your phone and a computer to save your photos, contacts, apps, and settings.
  • Connect your phone to the computer via USB, open Smart Switch, and select ‘Backup’.

2. Withdraw from the Beta Program:

  • Open the Samsung Members app on your phone.
  • Look for the One UI Beta Program status in the settings or at the top of the app.
  • Select “Withdraw” and follow the prompts. This step ensures you won’t receive further beta updates.

3. Use Smart Switch to Downgrade:

  • After withdrawing from the beta, go back to Smart Switch on your computer.
  • With your phone still connected, you should now see a “Downgrade” option. Click on it.
  • Confirm the downgrade process by accepting the terms and conditions. Smart Switch will then download and install the stable One UI 6.1 firmware.

4. Reset Your Phone:

Note that this process will perform a factory reset. Once the downgrade is complete, your phone will reboot into recovery mode where you will need to select ‘Wipe data/factory reset‘ to finalize the process.

5. Restore Your Data:

After the reset, use Smart Switch again to restore your backed-up data to your phone.

Important:

This method is for Galaxy S24 users who enrolled in the beta via the Samsung Members app. If you manually flashed the beta (using methods like Odin), you might need to flash back to One UI 6.1 using the same tool.
