Anyone install this update via @jrkruse method and use Flashfire with his CSC root. If so does your automatic brightness work?

I installed AQGL using part 2 of the root method including @jrkruse QG2_ADD_CSC_SYSTEMROOT zip. I followed up with a flash of the AQGL CP and CSC in ODIN. I just checked and the auto brightness is working. The phone seems to be working better than ever. I just finished setting up last night so not too much time with it.

@pimpmaneaton has streamlined the process. You just use the QGL system.img.ext4 (extracted from QGL AP file for less knowledgable users) and the VZW_AQGL_ADD_CSC_SYSTEMROOT_V5.zip in place of Part 2 of the SAMPWND thread or @jrkruse rom thread, these files can be located here.
Remember to thank the lovely folks whom provided these files/methods, they're making a great phone even better! :good:
EDIT
Just a heads up, had data issues during setup, so went to download mode and flashed QGL csc file as well and it got me up and running great!

So can I take the AQGL update now and still be able to root a few weeks later? I'm holding off for a bit until 80% battery issue is fully understood.

I would flash the QGL1 firmware first (in linked thread), for compatibility, and if you get modem crashes after you're up and running, you can flash the HLOS and Modem files for QGL. (also in linked thread)

Thanks ... I seem to be running fine. No real issues to report. Restored everything via TB and it's running fine. If I encounter any issues I'll try what you suggested.
Seems I'm going to follow your suggestion, I just tried to list my apps and I got a UI crash.

Woke up to the update ready to install. Interesting that it says security update but the security is still at August 2017.
Nothing noticeable as of right now for me.

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

Yes. It always says that if you have your status as "Custom"
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!

Any sm-g900p owners received the marshmallow update? Twice I have received software update notification but this is what it does ( see screenshot below ) because I'm on a custom rom. I know I have to odin back to stock to install the update, but I don't want to odin back until I'm sure 6.0 is out?

Is it the same as the g900f update where the only change in appearance was the icons on the homescreen?

I've been having problems since the update. My screen freezes and I'm getting error messages "TouchWiz Home" has stopped, and your data is off because. ...... A minor reset didn't help. Will need to contact Sprint Tech. Here's a couple of screen shots. A few nice changes when working properly.

Isn't there a way to extract the bootloader?TWRP can make the Backup of the Modem....I saw a post in the G900F forum about the beta Marshmallow rom where he extracted the bootloader from the update that he had received over the air....This is the Link to his thread:-

Capturing the July OTA file, need a volunteer

I believe the URL for the July update file can be found using the steps below (credit: troyboytn, from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6-edge/general/to-mm-download-link-t3371830). If anyone running the June firmware or earlier could try this, it would be a huge help to those like me who have not received the July OTA yet for whatever reason.
If anyone is currently running the June firmware, I believe we can find the download link by initiating a manual update by dialing *#8736364# in the dialer. Click "Software Update" and the information we need will be the "Server Address"when "Result" is clicked after download is initiated.. You will only get this info if your firmware is not up to date. .

Anyone who can relieve the OTA can.
Here is the PG1. Used winrar to add all 4 odin files to this download, they must be extracted.
Also maybe someone can host this, not sure how long Dropbox will be working before bandwidth is used up.

Anyone with root can capture the OTA. In fact if someone does get it,most likely I can make a flashable zip from it. I have done this many times before. Someone with root download it to the phone. The OTA file should end up in fota. After that we should be able to just upgrade with a zip and still keep root. Im already on the newest build but ill make the upgrade zip for everyone.

No they did not block all downloads, they just block ability to download from they servers to PC/Mac/Phone by any browser. You can get OTA if you trying update as you should by checking OTA's in settings menu in phone.

You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.
Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.
Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.
PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

I have tried multiple zips to try to get the U software on my phone but always ends up not booting. It will show galaxy S7 and then boot straight back into recovery.
Can someone please provide a link to the exact download files I need. Sorry to start a thread over this. I'm just having a hard time finding the correct files. Thanks in advanced.
Anyone?
It should be as (simple) as..
Rooting your phone -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 (this won't trip KNOX)
Downloading the proper firmware from SamMobile -> https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930U/
Flash the firmware via odin (you can use the same method found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065)
Profit
I just did this recently to switch from SM-G930R4 to SM-G930V
Note, you will lose all data on the phone if you try this.

Go to Updato.com and get the newest SM-930U firmware from January and flash via Odin. The 930U firmware you flash must have a bootloader the as or newer than your current firmware or it will not boot. You do not have to root to update via Odin.

Less boat , no Verizon boot animation, and my favorite the spam dialer Verizon thought was a good idea to remove. I like to think of the U as pure Samsung vs the Verizon gimped software.

Is the bootloader unlocked? Is there any down side? LTE performance etc? Can this still be done if I loaded the Nougat beta on my G930V? Thanks in advance.

Go to Updato.com and get the newest SM-930U firmware from January and flash via Odin. The 930U firmware you flash must have a bootloader the as or newer than your current firmware or it will not boot. You do not have to root to update via Odin.

Also it unlocks the LTE bands Verizon has Disabled. And Disables the Hotspot Lock.
Yes jedi the built in Caller ID is deffinitly cool.

Bootloader is locked because it is a snapdragon variant. Only downside is can think is you would have to pay your bill in store or on a PC. Lte seems the same. Yes if nougat is on. You just load up the most recent U firmware and flash over nougat in odin.

It should be as (simple) as..
Rooting your phone -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 (this won't trip KNOX)
Downloading the proper firmware from SamMobile -> https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930U/
Flash the firmware via odin (you can use the same method found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065)
Profit
I just did this recently to switch from SM-G930R4 to SM-G930V
Note, you will lose all data on the phone if you try this.

it shoudl be simple...but it failed for me in one of my two phones. now it keeps going to recovery (downloading the original firmware to reflash it). the one that worked was a SMG930VZDA (made in vietnam) while the one that didn't is a SMG930VZKA (made in korea). I hadn't updated either one from the original firmware, but not sure what firmware they came with....
so if it works, it's great, but if it fails...
I used the instructions and file in

You can still use the My Verizon app to pay, if you want to. You do lose Verizon's native VVM app, but there are workarounds to use Voice or another third-party VVM app (I personally use YouMail).

Hey your right! One less hassle.
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new g930r4 (US Cellular) because my last samsung got stolen. Anyway, the first time I turned on the phone, I started having multiple issues (kept rebooting, unable to recognize headset, kept freezing). Then I decided to change it to the g930U firmware and I noticed a HUGE difference. I totally recommend this to anybody that has same problems I mentioned. Thanks to all the information from this post, I was able to successfully flash the firmware. Thank you all for the support! I hope this helps someone out there whos still got some doubts.
Hello, I have the SM-G930V Snapdragon variant in the US and I would really like to root it to get a custom ROM. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate a reply (if you have one) to this thread I made on the topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/help/questions-bootloader-rooting-custom-t3721109

[ZSAI] Exynos S8+ Android Pie One UI beta [Download]

Original post on S8 group
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/s8-exynos-pie-oneui-beta-official-t3890376
Required:
- This is for Exynos var.
- You have to be on CRL3 to be able to update by this
- You have to have a micro SD card, just copy update file over there then apply update in recovery mode (ADB is not working at all)
Download here:
BETA 1

BETA3 (ZSAI):
https://mega.nz/#!TUUCESrL!F1dYs7wMi5EQtgu3e69wqedlJ_0lT_eV3yk-EboY8jk
Changes that I've noticed since updated:
- One UI, yes, the most significant one, I like it a lot especially the dark mode.
- Performance: better overall performance and daily use experience. There are some games I experienced lag on Oreo become incredibly smooth on Pie (Super Phantom Cat for example)
- Better bluetooth connectivity with less latency.
- Some other nice improvements here and there.
What's broken?
- SAMSUNG PAY IS BROKEN. The app is still there but it failed to use with any POS by MST (I haven't try with NFC yet)

Please define "official"
It causes no harm
I can't define because I wrote "original" thread...NOT "official" thread.
It is a big difference between original and official.
Anyway, you are right.
Cheers.
Have you noticed downloading lag (eg. when checking for software update using thrid party software or downloading updates through google play?)? I mean the download progress bar is not filling. You just wait and suddenly after a while it say app is updated. In addition there is serious battery drain compared to oreo. Beta 2 is out to try now.
There is a lot happening in the Original post.
Beta 2 update for S8 and S8+

Because the original thread is in S8 group, there's nothing like this in S8+ group. I just want to make it easier for everyone else to find the link.
And I didn't steal anything to be fair, I didn't say the link was mine, I said there's an original thread and included the source right at top of my thread.
Take it easy, cheers.

There's none of your issues happened to me. Noted that I did factory reset after first updated to Pie, so maybe there's a bit better stability.

You have to be on CRL3 (latest Oreo for BTU) to install the beta. Not CRLB, not CRLI, not ABCD, but CRL3.
Copy the update.zip on the SD Card, boot into recovery (Bixby, Vol+, Power), update from SD, select the zip and wait. That's all.

Hello all.
I have: G955FXXS4CRLB
Which is newset that CRL3
When I try to update Beta1 it fails with error:
error in sideload package.zip status 7
Is it caused by soft version or is it caused by some other problem?
Can I load CRL3(older version) by Odin and then try to install Beta1?
Best Regards.
---EDIT---
Ok, So I did it, I have flashed CRL3 version via Odin, then ----> Beta1--->Beta2 and all is working fine!!!
So if you have same issue as me you can do it safely.
BR!
