Android 7.0 Nougat firmware for the Galaxy J7 (2016) now available online - Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Update: This seems to be a false alarm, or something is currently up with Samsung’s update servers, as the firmware that has gone online for the Indian J7 fails to install on the device. An over-the-air update isn’t available either.
not true: The long-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat firmware for the Galaxy J7 (2016) "SM-J710FN" is now available to download from many sites 'sammobile 'samsung updates' it’ll only work with units registered in India.
Last week, Samsung released a near-identical update for the Galaxy J7 (2016) in Russia. The only difference was the firm started rolling it out over-the-air (OTA), meaning customers didn’t need to manually flash it onto their device.
The OTA should start making the rounds in India in the coming weeks.

Does it have blue light filter ??

How's the battery life and ram management (keeping apps in background without reloading when switching)?

Battery backup is slightly higher than mm rom and I feel slightly lag on scroll very rarely so overall it's better and worth.

Tab S2 Android 5.1.1 update is out! build T710XXU1BOH6

Android 5.1.1 is out for Tab S2.
Because Tab S2 forums aren't available, hence mentioning it here.
Hopefully, Tab S gets it too.
Tab S2 users can grab it here - http://samsung-updates.com/details/51450//SM-T710/BNN/T710XXU1BOH6.html
Do you think we will get it?
Hopefully it brings theme support for the S2... a man can dream.

I can confirm that it doesn't trip knox, and that it does install 5.1.1. Here's the tricky part. When the tablet boots it still says galaxy tabs s2, then flashes the samsung logo, then flashes the nook logo. I have all my previous apps now with the addition of several Nook apps.
It's almost as if it's a random hybrid.
Indeed, I think it's a special one it has country code BNN "unknown" ,
there is also another one available which has country code XAR (cellular south) http://samsung-updates.com/details/51460//SM-T710/XAR/T710XXU1BOH6.html
it's not a official update.
Has anyone looked into the XAR one above?
UPDATE: the XAR does not have the Nook integration. In ODIN mode the Current Binary is Samsung Official and System Status is also Official.

There is only 4 ways to obtain a official update, downloading a rom and manually installing them is not considered official, I'm sure Samsung won't give you any download link to official rom.
Those are official, you officially don't know what you are saying....

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!

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:
Updates
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.

I think he's referring to the US snapdragon models.
Yep, US Snapdragon S8+ for Sprint has been released. Finally a Snapdragon model! Maybe the rest of the models will follow. Not published on Sammobile yet but by using the SamFirm.exe, I was able to download Android Pie for the S8+ (Sprint version).
Just flashed the Sprint Pie firmware onto my TMobile phone (Odin). Everything seems to be working so far.

Worked perfectly for me. Didn't wipe/reset my phone, and all my AT&T stuff is still working perfectly (Wi-Fi calling, VOLTE, Enhanced Messaging etc).

S8+ on tmobile I installed the sprint update with the modded 3b Odin only two things to know first have the latest tmobile update downloaded from the updato firmware website so you can plug in the user data slot inn Odin with the tmobile one and second make sure you use csc home from the sprint update in the csc slot or you'll wipe your phone!

This can help others who do not want the receive the updated Interface / Android 9.0 Pie
under Settings >>> Developer Options >>> Auto Update System has been disabled.
under Settings >>> Software Update >>> Download Updates Automatically has been disabled.
This is the best option to prevent over night mandatory firmware updates that were common in the past.

Not necessarily an original device. Download Smart Switch on your computer then plug your device, if it recognizes it then update it from there. If it doesn't, then it's a fake.

What is the current build name? Download Phone Info from the Play Store and see if its a genuine Samsung device. Have a feeling its a knock-offf, hoping its not but your firmware is too old for this model.

I have an S10+ bought from UK but I am using it in Romania
