No Nougat update yet!! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

Hi,
I have a TMobile S7 Edge, using in India. I flashed my phone from 935T to 935U, works perfectly well however I have not recieved the Nougat update yet..Will I have to do it manually from a PC??

To get Nougat from the U firmware you will have to either;
Flash back to a factory Tmobile ROM losing all data from your phone, wait for Tmobile t release the Nougat firmware, then update with the OTA like normal.
Or
Wait for Samsung to release the update for the U firmware and just download and install like a normal OTA update
I am also on the U firmware, I am waiting until Tmobile rolls out the update, then flashing stock and updating. THEN when Sammy decides to give us the U firmware I will wipe and go back to U cause it is so much n8cer than stock

Its only 116 mb final update to official N for beta users Not full firmware! So even if they had a leak, it would be no good without already being on N! I hope they release to public tomorrow

You were on G935UUEU4APL4 firmware and got the OTA? I was under the impression that the T-Mobile OTA would not be available for devices running the U firmware but maybe it will eventually get to everyone?

Come on folks, this stuff takes time out of people's day, and work to get things copied and uploaded; the least you can do is click a button. I know that manners are a lost legacy, but people aren't obliged to do things - they do it from the kindness of their hearts, so at least show some thankfulness - some courtesy won't take any time, and certainly won't kill you; in fact, you'll actually FEEL BETTER FOR IT

I was getting errors with the 4.4.4 OTA through philz recovery.
So I downgraded to 4.3 and updated OTA to 4.4.2 - 176.44.1.en.GB(187mb) and then an update of (8mb).
Now i am on 4.4.2 and got 4.4.4 OTA 210.12.10.en.GB.

This mean, that this OTA archive is for version 176.44.1. This mean that you cant jump (for example) from 14.71.8 (Android 4.3) to 210.12.10 (Android 4.4.4) because you need OTA with name\version 14.71.8. When you apply it - you will have 174.44.9 (4.4.2, first update). With next OTA with name\version 174.44.9 you will have the last update for 4.4.2 (176.44.1), and so on.

Agree with you,but saw on another thread that some lucky members got successful OTA installation with root and custom recovery. I gave mine a try and it failed.
Now i am on 4.4.4 fully stock and will flash philz recovery and root it. :fingers-crossed:
Is there a file I can download to flash via fastboot with locked bootloader?
To change from tesco to gb retail.
Edit, or tell me how to downgrade 4.4.4 then I can flash 4.4.2 retail and get the ota

From Sprint and SamMobile G900PVPU3BOK4 is the latest rom and its version 5.0 dated 12/02/2015. No updates i could find.
I'm guessing your custom Rom is based on something older than the current software and that's why you're getting this

i had a software upgrade notification and it started downloanding as you can see but i thought that it was for 5.0.1 or 5.1.1
after rooting my phone i got the same notification like you
Well the korean varients of this phone have recieved marshmallow and it seems that there are no interface changes ecxept for new icons :/ but it does add doze and the permission manager and all of the "underground" features marshmallow has to offer. When it comes to us though we will at least get the MM bootloader and all that jazz then we can develop S7/S7 edge roms for our device

Sad news... I was hoping for the theme store... I guess I'm going to get the LG G5. It has all the features I'm looking for and it will be easily unlocked... I love my s5. I waited for the s7 just to find out it was locked up. So I ain't going that route. Just hope for good development for the G5!

Sm-g935u for t-mobile

Hi
Has anyone tired SM-G935U for T-Mobile does wifi calling works, and video calling.
I gave it a go yesterday. I would not recommend it. It seems like it is causing issues, if you follow the thread on it. Also if you are on the July 1st security patch (the update that came out on 07/08/2016) then trying to flash the G935U firmware will softbrick your device. Either way the best way to get back to stock is to use Smart Switch and re-initialize the phone. You will lose all of your internal data either way.

Are you asking about SM-G935U firmware on the SM-G935T or using the SM-G935U on the T-mobile network?

SM-G935T is on v3 while SM-G935u is on v2 which is causing the softbrick .
Have anyone tried this recently? as of October 1st? Reports on the AT&T forum seem to suggest that it's working now.
where is the link at for the new G935U UPDATE FOR TMO
this is encouraging please keep us informed of any progress
I have the SM-G935U Olympic edition running on T-Mobile with the latest firmware PG9, Aug. 1st patch and I can see LTE+ every now and then. I do also see the option for WIFI-Calling and VOLTE. I can not verify if they worked properly but the options are there. Im not rooted because I still want Samsung Pay for now. ROM seems fast and good battery life and no T-Mobile BLOAT I was able to uninstall (yes uninstalled not disable) even the samsung email app and samsung+.

It looks like the bootloader for the Unbranded version has increased. This should allow us to switch from T-mobile to U since they are now both at 4.
If you follow the release of older firmware it coincides with new bootloader revisions. If so then the AT&T, T-mobile and Unbranded version are all now at bootloader 4 which allows us to flash any one of them.
For example, if you look at the history of firmware releases for the T-mobile variant, you'll note the number has changed when the bootloader has been updated.

Downloading now, will report back if its Android 8.0 Oatmeal
With a size of 477 it's probably just a security update, but my phone is running nice and smooth after the update. Probably just a placebo effect.

Not sure my phone can live though an update to Nougat. It took 6 months before Google fixed the random reboots on MM (PG1 was the first really stable ROM). PH1 runs fine, just keep the security updates coming a while longer.
Can anyone confirm, that this update doesn't mess up the wifi tethering mod.

No. You have to be on the official unrooted and completely unmodified stock rom with stock recovery for it to work.
Can someone upload this?
Where did you get hotspot mod from? I didn't find any PG1 hotspot mod. I am running PG1 stock debloated rom by saintz.
I still have hotspot mod from before marshmallow 6.0 update ##data# with msl code. After marshmallow the fields to edit are now greyed out. Mine is still intact on stock rom.

The battery life on this particular update is horrible. PG1 was the best update till date by Samsung on Marshmallow.
For guys on PG1, my suggestion would be not to update to PH4.
Also, PG1 has the best signal reception & voice quality.
pg4 so far so good. HOW DO I ROOT? help appreciated.

Hmmm.. For me PH4 seems about the same as PG1. No problems here. Still getting the usual 16 hours runtime / 4 hours screen time.

Should I Update to Nougat now or wait for the U Firmware?

Should I update to the Nougat firmware now or should I wait until the U firmware comes out?
Or would it also be possible to flash the U firmware later down the road? I'm not sure if this would work since I got the phone in November and when I tried to flash the same firmware for the U model the bootloader prevented it.
Let me know what you guys think, I want to get off of the T-Mobile firmware and get rid of all the bloatware that comes with it.

It's up to you. I used the u firmware before and of course it was snappy. Not much snappier than the T-Mobile firmware tho since I use package disabler pro to disable the tmobile bloat. Plus I prefer the tmobile firmware since the wifi calling works the way it should just incase I have no signal.

I bought the phone used and unlocked it, I'm on ATT so I don't need wifi calling. I want to get rid of all the T-Mobile stuff. I kind of want to upgrade it now and then upgrade to U later, but last time I tried to flash a firmware to the U version it didn't let me.
I would upgrade if I were you. I ran U firmware for quite sometime and that was snappy but nougat puts it's to shame with how smooth and fast it is. You can disable most of the TMB bloat with the applications option in settings and then use package disabler pro to disable those pesky system apps that you won't be able to disable in settings/applications.

Black Onyx but it's weird cause sometimes I see it in the theme store and sometimes it's MIA. Either way if ya can't find it just PM me and I'll send it to ya.

And when the U-series firmware comes out you'll say how it puts the Tmobile firmware to shame.

Well of COURSE! I check sammobile about every 3 hours ( I know it's sad lol). I have a feeling it's going to be a while, but hey a lot of people didn't think we would get 7.0 before the s8 dropped......

Yeah, that's why I'm scared about upgrading now and not being able to later. That's also what I'm wondering, is will I be able to do a 'lateral' update to the firmware from Nougat 7.0 T to Nougat 7.0 U? I don't think the bootloader will let me, and ultimately I would like to be on the U firmware.
I'm not surprised they did, if they do it now they can boost sales a little before the S8 comes out. They also aren't/didn't (don't know when it's happening/happened) announce it at Mobile World Congress so that could help with sales of their current device.

Yeah pretty sure you have to be on whatever firmware you are trying to upgrade to or else it will fail. Well Odin files might flash mis-matching firmware but I know trying to flash it in recovery every via apply update from SD card it would fail with mis-matching firmware.
Check this out.....

Welp. I did it, I upgraded to Nougat, and I regret it. My phone feels slower than before and it feels like it wasn't worth it.
I want the un bloated version....

I never ran the the U version, but the T version with stuff disabled using package disabler seems ok to me. But to each his own.
If it's slower you're doing something wrong. Do a factory reset.
I'm patiently waiting N for the U
