Pretty annoying that thing was announced over 7 months ago.
Not from AT&T.. Samsung is releasing it January 17th officially. The best thing we can hope for is for someone to get their hands on the 930U version so we can flash it to our phones.
The Verizon beta for Nougat works great on At&t phones. Give it a try if you'd like.
All the beta guys are getting otas to final now, we'll probably see the 930u nougat files before att drops, but it's speculated after the 17th.

Currently running VZW nougat and now that the AT&T nougat files have been found, I'm interested in flashing back. Has anyone here attempted this?

Should be fine. I would try the external sd method first, it should just flash like normal. It's an official update so it doesn't matter what you have now it's gonna wipe everything anyways.

I have successfully flashed via external sd method. I have had no issues or bugs that I have noticed so far. Been running for a few days now. I will say if you flash it make a backup of your internal SD card and all your apps. It does completely wipe your phone. I lost all my stuff on my internal SD because I got excited and didn't think, Its been a while since I have flashed anything manually on any of my phones. Lucky for me I had all my pictures backed up to Google Photos and all my other files were on my external SD card.

if you are on the unreleased build, it's the same build AT&T released via OTA, you are on the official build.

Is this true? AT&T's OTA for the S7 (Flat) is the same version that I got from the unreleased 7.0 thread?
I bricked my phone trying to go back to PK1, AT&T is sending a warranty replacement but my Wife's phone has this update too. Had I known I wouldn't have even touched it!
So in other words I should be able to receive any future OTA updates right? I should just leave my wife's phone alone?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you sideloaded QA4 (or any build) you must Odin back to APk1 and then you can take the att over the air update. Otherwise, it will always say that you are up to date when you check on your phone.

OFFICIAL Nougat files for S7 Edge with February security build BQA6
If you have never updated other than using the att software update function on your phone then the Nougat 7.0 update should be available right now.

Thank you very much! I've got the files, hopefully I can unbrick my damn phone. I have the teal screen triangle of death (Download mode only) and boot loop when I try to get into recovery or just boot the phone normally when I tried to flash the wrong files...
Odin to the rescue hopefully.

If same as me (should be, in Australia as well), it's NPN25.137-67. I was on -15 beforehand. Had to check manually via Settings --> System updates as there was no automated notification, or at least not yet. Therefore if you're still on an older update i'd wait before installing anything manually - the official OTA can't be far away.

Yup, 137.67 as well. They have fixed my headset mic issue as Samsung AKG doesn't work
kool, good to know ive already installed the stoneware custom rom based on the -67 stock rom, was just wondering if anything newer is coming out soon. cant wait to give this nice lil phone to my gf as her bday present in a few days

I recently got this phone as a gift from my wife, extremely nice phone especially since I come from an s5. So far rooting this phone Is not really a good idea and currently has no custom rom support. That's okay tho, I'll just keep waiting but for now I want to update to the latest 7.0 Nougat Firmware since it's still in 6.0.1 MM. Sadly the phone says it's up to date and theres no need for update. Obviously this is a like cause I looked it up and there is an update from August to go over to Nougat. [emoji848] I'm here to ask for help cause I can't seem to see why I can't update. Any suggestions would really be appreciated [emoji41]

You can download the update from AT&TS WEBSITE. Once
You have on your phone try to update.
You can Flash Nougat onto your S7 AT&T phone. But if you do not know how take it to a Best Buy that has a Samsung store inside it and they will do it for you for Free. It is really simple to Flash it if you download the file on your PC and boot phone into Download Mode.

Hey guys I recently sideloaded the latest oreo beta version on my s8 and now I am wondering if when the oficial oreo 8.0 comes out I will be able to get it OTA or will I have to use Odin to go back to BQL1 and then do the OTA update? I am obviously not part of the samsung beta program.

Mine is working fine too, and no, it didn't got wiped. I was just wondering if after the oficial Oreo release comes out I can just do the OTA but i guess I will just figure it out when it comes out. (Is probably going to be a while)

Theoretically, we are strongly advised to wipe out everything and start from scratch. However, I would rather do it once Oreo is out.
I couldn't help noticing an error occurred during the installation process, some SYSTEM folder or partition that couldn't be mounted due to ACCESS DENIED. Perhaps this is something related with having the device encrypted?

Yes I remember I saw the error as well, but everything seems working fine so far. I have T mobile and I know that the release of Oreo is going to take a while because they are not even in the testing phase yet.
Do you think we're going to need to flash back to BQL1 and then Oreo? Btw which Baseband version you have installed? I got ZRA6

I have ZRA5, which comes from the leaked build shared a couple of days ago. It has January 2018 security patch and build date is 01/09/2018 22:49:09.
Are you sure you have ZRA6? Perhaps you have different build from a different source. If that is so, where did you get it?
Thanks!

Yes I am positive I have ZRA6 I got it from: https://samsung.firmware.science
I came across this website looking for ways to update to Oreo. I understand that all the firmware versions he has in the website are officially released by Samsung (including the Betas), the only downside is that he does not specify which software is which, you have to know the baseband versions you are installing.

That site only featured the build intended for the Snapdragon variant of the S8, also known as 950U. If you installed that build on your 950F I'm surprised you haven't bricked it.

I was on T-Mobile but switched to MetroPCS two days ago. (Same network)
It's true... I am on Sprint with G995U1 and I am currently downloading a 1354.14MB update.
I had to check for it, but it found it and downloaded it. My phone is unlocked. Update applied without issues.
Loving finally having the auto fill API.
Just checked my software updates for the first time in weeks and there it was! Unfortunately they're working on our electrical system, so I won't be able to download it until WiFi is back up, but it'll give me time to back things up.
Factory unlocked running on T-Mobile
