Thank you, I'm always looking

Jkruse just posted his root method for Oreo across Carriers. All credit goes to him. This was posted in the last 24hrs via the safestrap thread.

I have Samsung Galaxy s7 edge sm-g953a when ever I try to update my phone firmware through OTA it's always said your software is update while I am currently on 6.0.1 October 2016 update. how i can update my phone to 7 or 8 android version?
Waiting for replying.

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.

Verizon note 3 lollipop?

Does anyone have a leaked firmware update to 5.0 lollipop? For the sm-n900v (verizon)
Every other carrier already has it out. I'm on 4.4.4 kitkat. And want to update. I will root if nessasary as long as it doesn't affect knox. Thank you in advance.
Lol you should really read threads and look for information before posting. Most people wont even bother with your question if its already answered in a thread somewhere . First of you cant root 4.4.4. as of yet. I have a bounty going to get some incentive to get root. But it looks to be locked down tight and i dont see it coming anytime soon. No your stuck reguardless if there is a leak or not you have to wait for the upgrade release by verizon i would recommend not getting the firmware if you want root and wait to see what happens with development.

There is no leaked firmware from Verizon, no other firmware will load on the Verizon Note 3.

U Firmware

Hey.
Has anyone been able to get the U firmware working on a Tmobile s7 edge? I got an error along the lines of "sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 2".
Thanks.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Are you on the latest security update? I think the U firmware is patched up to May or so, these device bootloaders won't allow downgrading, maybe with the eng boot you can flash it, but from what I've been reading there's no going backwards, only flashing of the same updates or future.

I would assume so since they usually have the base the same, the V and other software versions are able to use it, so we should be too once it's on the same update level.

Awesome, thank you!
I'll just have to figure out when the U firmware gets updated to the July patch. I'm a bit surprised that T-Mobile is ahead of the U firmware. Any idea why that is?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I think we're all surprised really, lol, but they missed us on the May patch, so we jumped straight to our current update. U isn't as popular as the carrier versions in the US, so that may also explain the slower updates.

Ok, so it looks like the August patch just dropped for the U firmware. So theoretically, will I be able to flash that now?
Also, in firmware zips, I always see a CSC and a HOME_CSC. What is the difference? Which should I use if I want to have a full and complete flash?
Thanks.

Please let us know how flashing the new August U firmware goes for you. It does look like the new U devices are now on the V2 bootloader.
I have an official SM-G935U and after the update it says on the bootloader page RP SWREV: B2(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S1. My hope is that at some point I can flash the official T-Mo firmware to my G935U if the G935U falls behind in updates again.
CSC will wipe the device. HOME_CSC will not wipe the device, from what I understand.

Isn't the T-Mobile firmware on version 3 bootloader? That means the flash from T-Mobile to U won't work. BTW, I've already flashed from U to T-Mobile. I would not recommend flashing the Tmobile firmware because I still don't think it's possible to go back to U.

Not sure. What do your device show when you boot to download/bootloader mode?
EDIT: are you saying that you have an official SM-G935U that you flashed to T-Mobile's firmware and are now stuck on T-mobile's firmware -- and that you're trying to get back?

No problem. Hopefully the U firmware will eventually upgrade to bootloader version 3. I'm kind of scared that it may never be updated because T-Mobile updated it with the July patch, and the U firmware is already at August.

I tried to flash the latest U firmware on my G935T without success though. It stuck at the beginning and I had to restore it using "Switcher". It might happened because I checked "re-partition in Odin.

When did you try doing this?
Yesterday, about 1 p.m. EST
It looks like mine has BL 3 when the U firmware comes with BL2.
It's really sad but there is no way to flash it on my device.
God, this is a little infuriating. Why is the T-Mobile variant the only one on this new version of bootloader? This T-Mobile S7 is now officially more locked down than even the Verizon or AT&T variant, that's insane.

how likely would it be that I brick my att galaxy s7

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.

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.

G935U Nougat

Hi All,
I'm a little confused as to where us U firmware users stand with Nougat. I've seen differing reports of what the known plan is with this. I believe some are saying we're waiting for Verizon to release it to the 935u, otherwise I'm reading that we're on a quarterly update schedule and won't be seeing anything until April.
I bought my 935V from VZW and flashed over to unrooted U firmware - actually by using the normal flash method and then doing a firmware restore from verizon's utility to get full unroot. Not exactly a typical method, but it gave me peace of mind knowing everything is completely stock U.
Everything is running great so I'm not in urgent need of an update for any reason, but would like to see some new features.
Lemme know if anyone has any clues here as for what to expect. Thanks in advance!
Not exactly sure what you mean by going full "unroot".. unless you ment, you wanted the U firmware for a smoother "root" can you please clarify bubby?

Good to know. Thanks.
I had to root in order to flash U FW, but the root process we have for GS7 is really process heavy and battery draining. I wanted an unrooted version of the U firmware with no bullsh*t and good battery life so I unrooted and restored using the software tool.

Ah Gotcha, sorry I misunderstood the op. Maybe give the T or V carrier FW a spin till U gets released? I haven't upgraded yet but am tempted. Been using stang 5.0 rom and been pretty impressed. I'd say I would recommend it even with the faults of the eng boot.
I also believe I seen a "no root no bull**** playstore Nougat rom" by jkruse, or something to that effect. If that's something your into
Lots of cry babies over in the Samsung forums. I can see why everyone is so upset but Samsung never promised faster updates for unlocked variants over carrier models. I'm content waiting at least until April for the nougat release of the 935u. Screw Verizon bloat. It's not worth putting up with it for Nougat.
There are some articles with Samsung's new commitment for monthly security updates on unlocked devices. This should mean that the 935U will get Nougat this month with March security update.

Yes i have the original UDP and the tethering option works. How ever i cant get the verizon video calling to work??
So from what I'm getting, to install (if I'm on Verizon Nougat), flash Unlocked 6.0 first, then smart switch to 7.0? Also, I read that someone had been having issues with using LTE while in a phone call, can anyone confirm? And what happened to all the other fix files, since I remember the first time flashing the unlocked software required more subsequent flashes as well.
