Odin tar for G930VVRU4BQA2? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Does any one of a tar file of the new update? When I check for updates it says it's update to date, but I'm running PI3 and I don't have an SD card to do the update.zip method..

There is a way to use an update.zip via adb, but I've never had to do it. Look in the Nougat beta thread. I recall someone mentioning how to do this early on in that thread. Maybe someone will chime in here.

I'm trying to use the PI3 to nougat zip you uploaded. Is that the OTA? I'm trying to sideload it but it says "can't read "update.zip."

That is the OTA. Did you rename it?

Yes, but I redownloaded it because I said it wouldn't read so I figured it was a bad download, but it's still not working.

I've never done the ADB method, so someone else will have to chime in.

This is the link to the Odin file:

After rooting nougat and jacking my phone up trying to flash different things to it, I used these files with the official Odin and restored my phone back to stock OTA nougat. Thanks for the files!!

Yes, it's for the flat version

Do I need to unroot and re-enable packages before using this method?

Extract OTA update once Downloaded to phone

How do you extract the OTA update once it is downloaded to phone? Do you need terminal or adb? Can this be done? Is it just in a folder somewhere? I searched and really couldn't find any instructions on how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info but I was more or less wanting to know if there is a way to extract the OTA update once the file is downloaded. I have the OTA update as it comes but just wanted to know if there is a way for me to get it from a phone once it downloads it.

What does this mean ? Does this mean 5.1.1 is available for our sprint phones
No just to get us all ready for it
This is 5.0.1 and it allows us that we're stuck on OE1 to upgrade to the latest firmware

I have Kies. Says i already have latest firmware. I am, however, on a custom ROM. If i nandroid a backup of TWRP/rooted will i be able to upgrade still? Or should i probably just ODIN it?

I was on Rooted OB7, Kies told me OF5 was latest and updated me about 10 minutes ago. It took a long time to optimize the apps, (It did it 4 times!) and restarted at least 4 times after update. Things seem to be settling down now. The phone kept all my data, so if you can update using Kies you probably won't have to restore a backup. Also, the phone got real hot during the optimizing, you might want to take it out of any case you are using to keep it from overheating.

Does the TAR delete everything off your phone?

Stock recovery question/request

I was hoping someone could help me out. I searched the forums but couldn't find anything. Is there any way to extract the recovery image from the firmware zip? I tried to do so on my PC but I received an error saying the zip was invalid which I'm assuming is because it's signed by HTC. I'm trying to avoid flashing the firmware in RUU mode since I then lose root. My goal is to be on the stock recovery with root so I can receive OTA's when they are available. If not, does anyone happen to have a copy of the stock recovery for the 1.19.605.22 software . I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Pulled from RUU using Universal HTC RUU/ROM Decryption Tool 3.0.7 by nkk71
Stock Recovery - VZW - 1.19.605.22
Great thanks. Saw this tool on a couple of other sites but only for Linux. Didn't know there was a Windows version. It's pretty straight forward. Feeling kinda dumb for missing it.

Help with upgrading to Nougat

I don't have a Verizon SIM card. Does anyone have a update.zip or a tool so I can upgrade? When I check for updates it fails because I don't have a SIM card inside.
Tried taking the OTA but keep getting an Error 402.
I odin'd back to stock using the method on this site and even factory reset after as well.
Anyone know what the error is?
Or does anyone have an alternate way to update? I'm currently on PE1.

Use Odin or Smart Switch to upgrade to PI3, then use the update.zip I linked.

Damn shame I can't get it to download.
Been on Oreo for a long while. Check it out, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-oreo-beta-usa-snapdragon-s8-t3700907
PLEASE read, search. Likely your question and how to get started has already been answered, happy flashing!
Not going to try. I hear it works but it's a t mobile version. I'm going to wait for official Verizon OTA as is need to reload the nougat load to get the OTA later. Besides, that wipes the phone since it isn't an upgrade.
Running oreo and work liked a charm! just following the directions.

Downloaded the ZIP. Placed on my sd card. Ran recovery. Installed zip. Took under ten mins. Rebooted itself. Once rebooted it was on Oreo with no reset, everything was the same. Super easy.
