I recently got this phone as a gift from my wife, extremely nice phone especially since I come from an s5. So far rooting this phone Is not really a good idea and currently has no custom rom support. That's okay tho, I'll just keep waiting but for now I want to update to the latest 7.0 Nougat Firmware since it's still in 6.0.1 MM. Sadly the phone says it's up to date and theres no need for update. Obviously this is a like cause I looked it up and there is an update from August to go over to Nougat. [emoji848] I'm here to ask for help cause I can't seem to see why I can't update. Any suggestions would really be appreciated [emoji41]

You can download the update from AT&TS WEBSITE. Once
You have on your phone try to update.
You can Flash Nougat onto your S7 AT&T phone. But if you do not know how take it to a Best Buy that has a Samsung store inside it and they will do it for you for Free. It is really simple to Flash it if you download the file on your PC and boot phone into Download Mode.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of flashing this onto my smg935u? Is it as simple as downloading the new firmware and flashing through odin? I ask because I tried flashing the previous tmobile firmware onto my phone was unsuccessful. Not sure if I did something wrong. I'm relatively new to this, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm downloading the Tmo firmware now and wondering the same thing. I'm pretty confused about CSC/regional stuff, i think it could possibly depend on what regional firmware and settings you are currently on., maybe. This is what Phone Info has to say about my current firmware, I'm on the generic firmware that came with the phone and using a T-Mobile SIM. Maybe someone will be able to enlighten us

If you are using the g935u version, you'll have to wait until Samsung releases the update specifically for the device. Usually it comes a couple weeks after the carrier update is pushed to their devices. It sucks.
I was able to flash the tmobile nougat update, so I'm happy about that..I was initially going to waiting after my last failed attempt, but I figured I'd give it another try. I don't have any faith in Samsung releasing any updates in a timely fashion for the unlocked version at this point, and it's pretty nice having access to some of the tmobile features like Samsung cloud and FM radio..
What about the language support for this new version?

It's a little ridiculous that the factory unlocked version is getting updates after carrier branded variants. The S7 Edge is my first non-nexus Android phone, and it looks like it may be the last if this is how updates are handled. Hopefully v2 of the Pixel delivers...

Exactly. It's really a shame. That's why I've purchased the Huawei Mate 9, can't justify spending the money on the Pixel with the spec it currently has.

Finally. Downloading now!
I've noticed a lot of lag after I installed nougat. I did a backup on smart switch and factory reset my phone. Problem solved this is just a heads up guys
I got the unreleased nougat update 10 days ago from jimmy vb8 and I'm preparing to go back to stock i have all the right files but I'm worried ill brick my phone help
Also I need the pk1 file
Have you even searched for anything to do with your post? I can understand being worried, but theres only about 5 threads that contain the PK1 files.

if you are on the unreleased build, it's the same build AT&T released via OTA, you are on the official build.
Ok I heard that qa6 is the latest and I'm on qa4 will i still get future updates

Is this true? AT&T's OTA for the S7 (Flat) is the same version that I got from the unreleased 7.0 thread?
I bricked my phone trying to go back to PK1, AT&T is sending a warranty replacement but my Wife's phone has this update too. Had I known I wouldn't have even touched it!
So in other words I should be able to receive any future OTA updates right? I should just leave my wife's phone alone?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you sideloaded QA4 (or any build) you must Odin back to APk1 and then you can take the att over the air update. Otherwise, it will always say that you are up to date when you check on your phone.
Read the posts in this discussion (although it is for S7 Edge)

OFFICIAL Nougat files for S7 Edge with February security build BQA6
If you have never updated other than using the att software update function on your phone then the Nougat 7.0 update should be available right now.

Sorry meant PK1 (not APk1 since you don't have an Edge).

Thank you very much! I've got the files, hopefully I can unbrick my damn phone. I have the teal screen triangle of death (Download mode only) and boot loop when I try to get into recovery or just boot the phone normally when I tried to flash the wrong files...
Odin to the rescue hopefully.

I thought I was screwed, the members of this forum REALLY helped me out. You should have NO issues downgrading and installing the AT&T OTA 7.0 update.

Hi,
I have recently bought Samsung s7 edge T mobile unlocked , but it not showing update. The last updated was android 6.0.1 on November 1st, 2016. I have also tried to connected with smart switch pc app but it's not showing any update either. I want to update my device with official firmware so that it will update automatically and regularly. I'm in Pakistan.
I have seen on Sam mobile to update via Odin. I want to know is this official update? I have not rooted and don't want to get rooted , I want to keep it official.
Thank you
WEIRD is knox tripped ?
Could be that the unlock was not done officially by the carrier, and it tripped KNOX or the OTA security bit.
I've been looking for a reputable download for the SM-G935T G935TUVS4BQJ2 firmware. For some reason T-Mobile does not have a download link now.

:good: Thanks for that! yeah, the DL rate on that link is *MUCH* better than the first one I found. The other one was downloading at something like 450kbps.

Phone is alive again! Rooted, mildly debloated BQJ2 firmware (by mildly I mean, some sammy apps, LookOut, and T-mobile app removed)
Of note, Substratum made my phone lag for some reason, even with the governors set correctly and whatnot. Will try clearing cache on the app and then clear cache in recovery and see if it works better. The whole reason I had to reflash is that for some reason when I accidentally changed the GPU governor in Kernel Adiutor, it broke Play store.
Can anyone help with this. After updating to QBJ2, it won't detect network anymore, keeps searching!
Anyone got a fix please?
I have virus
What I have to do?
i have the usa unlocked version of the galaxy s8. model no. SM-G950U1. i live in canada now so i am wondering how i can get the new update

One of my Friend bought g950u1 from us and he is using it in India now. He has been getting all the updates samsung pushed earlier. I am sure you guys will get the oreo update also, If it ever gets released.
Waiting forever for this update.

I dont think that is true, only a few carriers have implemented checks(AT&T for sure) to make sure you are using their sim before they let you download the update. It should not matter by region at all. The updates are pushed by IMEI series and not by geolocation.
I got the update today
Got the notice on my TMO running unlocked code today as well. Has anyone installed it yet? Any issues? How's battery life?

I am using on sprint, installed the OTA yesterday. My experience with battery life has been worse than the beta version I was on.
So is there a way to stop the update? I want to let it bake a bit. I thought I could go into Dev Options and disable Auto System Update but as soon as I got home and on WiFi it started downloading Oreo.

Switch to the U firmware. AT&T firmware won't update without a valid AT&T SIM.

Has 1000% to do with the firmware. Has everything to do with the bootloader. The bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked so perm root is unattainable on the 935A or U firmware.
