Root on Nougat - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if its possible to use the engboot root method on the new nougat firmware? I have a few things I'd like to try that require root

The engboot used to root is only for marshmallow and will not work with nougat.

No you don't know this. I find MM update for Note 4 and we wore thinking that is beta but later same month AT&T release exactly same build. I'm not sure if this is not a case, since Note 5 and Note 4 get security update already for December and S7 Edge last security update we have is for November. There is no new build of MM with security update for December on servers. Next update i can find for S7 Edge is Nougat 7.0 with January security update. Maybe this is just how i logically think, but maybe not. I don't know if this is beta anthill we get another build of Nougat.

You could try finding a way to root it then. I doubt many would put in much effort there though. Once the actual release is out it would make more sense, since we don't know if this release will be a final build.

930U Android Security Patch Level

I just flashed the unlocked 930U ROM on my Verizon S7. I notice that the Android Security Level is all the way back to May. Is there any way to force an update of this?
Go to Korea and kidnap the team responsible for updating that rom. Then, force them to build a rom with the newest security patch. Easy as pie...

LMAO no no no I meant to catch up to whatever the newest is. Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I thought that the security updates were pushed out separate from the actual ROM update itself.

They haven't had any so no way to get them.
May is the latest patch date for the 930u. I've been checking daily for an update. I even have the Samsung Smart Switch app installed on my PC looking for the updates for the phone. I'm not sure if the updates are going to come OTA or if they will be a PC download only. It would be nice to get one!

I just did my daily update check and a 180mb update downloaded and is installing now. Nothing exciting in the changelog. Improved stability of the Dial??? Security updates, etc.
The update size is 163.86MB for me

Android Oreo 8.0.0 beta testers the final stable release

https://plus.google.com/communities/106765800802768335079
This is for all pixel versions and nexus which got android 8.0.0
All you got to do is go to that website sign up to be a android beta tester and the software update appears in you notification bar.. its the last stable release for beta. There will be more to come iam sure as newer android builds get released.
Confused :s
The ota is coming sept 11th.. it was just released yesterday but apparently there was some radio and network issues on a few carriers so they pulled the ota... google is releasing the fixed ota on sept 11th.. after that its gonna be only maintance updates and security patchs for 8.0.0 until the next android version comes out.. it is stable on a few carriers but tmobile got hit and their working on that now...

True, lol
I don't understand the point of this post. Everyone at this point should be on stable. If you aren't, then just flash the OTA, or the factory image. As for the OTA coming out today, there is no mention of this anywhere.....Fake News!!
Android is always beta. There's always something little thing even at the end of the version

ADB updates from server for N950U-ATT version

Thanks to @Venom0642 and @DanMc85 i was able to get updates for Note 8 AT&T version. All updates are 100% AT&T stock from servers and can be apply by ADB sideloads. I will try to keep them up to date. Some updates are released and other not, so it is yours and only your choice if you want to apply them or not. Remember there is no updates to unreleased updates and if you apply unreleased update and AT&T will go with different one then you applied, you will have to ODIN back to stock and start again. So choose wisely.
Good Luck
Unreleased :
N950USQU2BQJA-to-S2BQK2 - Link is UP thanks to @Venom0642
Released :
11/14/2017 with October security N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA
On 9/25/2017 with August 1st security : N950USQU1AQH7-to-U1AQIA
EDIT- Warning : all ADB sideload will wipe your device, so make sure you have backup
Glad You Got this Going Here!:good:

I got the Note 8 unlocked and flashed the att version.
The version you have here is the latest and my phone is telling me I have the latest already. Is there a fix for this? It will be a pain to have to sideload and restore every time I want to update the phone. Wonder if the unlocked phone is checking Samsung's servers and not AT&Ts. Any ideas on this? Also where do you get the update files? Thanks for any help.

For AT&T SM-N950U1 users who flash the carrier Firmware have to sideload updates...this only affects AT&T users AFAIK. All the files are in different threads in this section...you can choose to flash complete AQIA (latest) or AQH7 (original) and then sideload the update AQH7 to AQIA as found in the threads...there may be an apn setting for OTA updates to work that you can edit though....adb sideload is simple enough though.
One may try just putting the update listed in op on their internal storage and boot to recovery and select apply update...to avoid wiping

This is unreleased update and there is no change log as of yet, plus we don't know if this will be official release.
I think Oreo will be held on Samsung servers not on AT&T, but if on At&T I will get it.

OK. I have another update and is N950USQU1AQIA-to-U2BQJA . Uploading to Google drive but seem like bootloader is updated to 2 and firmware revision to B. So if anybody is willing to take one for team since we don't know if you can downgrade from bootloader 2 to 1 if you need it. I will post link shortly.

If you are enrolled in beta program but are using non-beta stock, you could try unenrolling from beta. My friend did it and he got an update instantly which otherwise he wouldn't.

There is no harm in checking.
Anyways, google improved ota system quite recently(around 1-2 weeks ago). When you manually check for ota, there is 100% chance that you will get the ota if it exists. It sounds too good to be true, but it is. Check that out.
So if you dont get ota, then something is really wrong.

I suggest you try enrolling and subsequently unenrolling from android beta program at android.com/beta
Maybe that will shift you to the proper ota queue?

No answer for you. Just wanted to throw in that my updates seem to have quit after manually pushing Oreo.
so ... is anyone still on an older build and not seeing any updates? my other N6P hasn't received any security updates since July patch.... am i stuck? how can i fix? i was previously on the beta but i can't find the page to un-enroll...
I joined the beta 2 days ago and never received any update. I'm going to have to reset and see what happens....

Definitely unenroll. No reason to be in the beta program now. Even if you are stock with a locked bootloader you can manually sideload a full OTA. There are many tutorials on how to do this.

i'm actually asking for my second N6P which my mom uses, which is why i'm hoping there's a way to fix this without having to sideload since i'd have to do it with her via TeamViewer....
is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to do this or can i just flash the latest factory image or OTA with the bootloader locked via ADB?
Linkk to the beta program is https://www.google.com/android/beta
Getting the OTA's fine. Latest one I have is September 5th, so expecting Octobers any time soon.
Guys, I mentioned beta program because you are supposed to UNenroll from it to get normal updates. Remember that.

I also haven't received an OTA update in quite a while. The latest update I was able to receive OTA is the August patch.
I enrolled and un-enrolled from the beta program with the hope that the Oreo OTA would push but only got 7.1.2.
It's a little unusual. I factory reset also after un-enrolling just to see clean it out, to get rid of any bugs that be preventing the OTA. Didn't work.
I would rather not have to sideload the OTA since I always make mistakes with ADB and command prompt.
I am on Project Fi fyi.

Firmware for SM-G975W

Hi,
I purchased an S10+ from Telus today and I was wondering what firmware I can use to update it. I'm on February security level and I believe there is more recent available.
Based on a thread in the Guides section, the Muti CA. Firmware doesn't cover the TLS "region"
Thank you.

The latest firmware ends with VLU1ASBA and has a February security patch. If that's what you see. You're on the same firmware as everyone else with Telus and most likely Canada.

I'm not aware of being able to cross flash. I would suspect that if possible, it would probably be destructive to the data on the phone. Perhaps one of the more modding savvy folks can chime in and provide better instructions.
