Can I update outside of the US? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I live in the Philippines and I have the Verizon Galaxy S7, is it possible for me to update to the latest firmware because the OTA doesn't seem to be working for me.

Yes, use Odin.

Did you follow all the setup portion of the rooting process? The only part you wouldn't do is root... make sure USB debugging is on and you have a good USB cable.

I fixed it by running a different ODIN version and running it as administrator

[Q] Accidentally installed VZ firmware (i think) on ATT (SGH-i337)

HI everyone. I think i accidentally installed the wrong firmware on my att sgh-i337 GS4. I'm not positive but that's what I think will happen. Appears that it is not rooted as I ODIN keeps failing. Also wireless does not work so I cannot get any internet connection to work. I just want to get back to ANYTHING usable. KIES does not see my device. Please help me get back to anything. I was trying to help a friend with his phone and ended up in this state so I want to get it back to him working in anyway. I've done a few of these and never had this much trouble. Help please. Thanks.
Just flash the correct firmware in Odin. Do you know what firmware version the device was on?

Awesome! Fixed! Thank you a million. Now, what's the proper way to root this device at this point? I spent at least an hour reading about how to root the sgh-i337 with 4.4.2 which it appears this phone is now running. I don't want to go through that mess again. If you could provide me this step now I would really appreciate it. Again, can't thank you enough.

Okay I will try that again. I did use that first last time and it would appear rooted based on the root checker app then I would reboot and it would say it's not rooted. Additionally things that required root said the phone wasn't rooted.

I know I"m killing you here but i'm treading lightly based on my last experience. The NC1 update I found is only 20mb. Not a full build obviously. The thread says this:
"irst you need to odin back to stock NB1, and then flash the NC1 update in stock recovery.
NC1 update zip can be found here.

Not sure how to do that at htis point. Thanks.

Has emoji switcher or any other methods of changing emojis been working for any of you on 6.0? I've tried emoji switcher and flashing a zip and nothing. Also I wanted to confirm xposed is working I used the wanam v83 sdk23 arm version. I'll most likely just make a nandroid backup of this stock and switch back to cm13 as a daily driver soon since I prefer it. Cheers.
I could spend the recovery in .tar , please?
the recovery works perfectly !! Thank you

Yes the most recent cf-autoroot works fine. TWRP also installs fine. Battery life will be appreciably better due to doze mode. I don't think it will be a problem.

well, if you already rooted, then you can try some stock-base custom ROM.
Just now, I flashed 6.0.1 stock ROM via ODIN.
Now Note 4 has screen off memo! Yay!
CF Auto root works so fine with 910H 6.0.1, so I think I'll stay with stock ROM for a moment.
Everything thing is working fine just try

If you are set up the way you like, then why change? I'm on 4.4.4 with a dark theme, lots of xposed modules, custom fonts, greenify root (which means I don't need doze) , and security via appopsxposed. I don't think marshmallow really offers me anything. Have MM on my nexus devices and prefer 4.4.4 still on the Note.

I dont have it. But I think I saw it somewhere in xda. Try to use google.
Or if you have plenty of internet bandwidth, you can download samfirm (from xda too) to download a stock firmware directly from samsung. And flash it with odin.

Hold if you can. Horrible battery drain on Canadian update (rogers). If you read a bit, all releases are experiencing this. And the culprit is Android System that is using max battery.
No fix reported for this yet.
My phone battery has dropped from full day plus to barely half day at 21% remaining.

You can't because of the different in the bootloader PG1 is V3 and PD7 is V2. If you try it your phone will be stuck and then you will have to reodin PG1 or higher for it to work.
