No Android 7.0.1 Beta?! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Does anybody know why the AT&T and unlocked versions don't get the US Android N beta?! I REALLY WANT IT and the only workaround is flashing the T-mobile firmware but I have some reasons not to. Someone please touch on the situation is feel so cheated!

I agree! If they only went with unlocked versions and one carrier it would make more sense, but this just seems odd that two CDMA variants get it yet only one GSM variant does.

I can't tell you why AT&T didn't get it, but I can also tell you that the work around no long is a work around. I flashed the 935T ROM and tried to get on the Beta program..... Denied...... Got a message back saying they got all of the "slots" filled. No more are being accepted

I managed to get tmobile firmware installed day of, and I got a slot. I'll try and extract the Ota if I get it, but in the meantime sprint already has an update extracted from a system.

How did you install T-mobile firmware?

With the prince comsey odin. I managed to get a spot and I'm currently waiting for the Ota. Seems to be one day after samsung announced so the 15th I should get it.

I really can't understand why Samsung shows no love to the US Unlocked S7 Edge. It's things like this that make me want to just stick to an iPhone. No reason why a factory unlocked phone shouldn't be on the latest software. We are still in Septembers security update and get shafted on the beta program. I bet 7.0 comes out way later on this phone as well.

I took the plunge over to the verizon firmware, at least until the t-mobile guys have gotten their update.zip from a device. currently moving their nougat update to my phone then ill check it out.

So their is a way to get Nogut on this?

yes, and i have it. i went over to the verizon firmware, didnt root, downloaded their update, made an FOTA folder on my external sd card, moved the update there, went into recovery and used the "update from SD" option to "flash" the update and im on nougat. its kinda laggy but its amazing, thanks to the great people over at the verizon thread for making this possible.

Everything is working great except the Facebook app. Just switched over to swipe pro. Uploaded a video of this in my Android group. Honestly reminds me of good lock paired with xposed and "n-ify"

Can you give a step by step for this. 1. Odin to which Verizon firmware. 2. Download Ota from the thread in the Verizon forum. 3. Create fota folder in external. 4.boot recovery. 5 update from SD card.???

Confirmed, up and ruining beta on AT&T galaxy s7 edge, all is working. Odin to latest Verizon firmware, download the ota that was pulled over in Verizon forum. Create "fota" folder on external. Reboot recovery and apply update from as card. Very impressed already.

Yes, just Odin to vzw firmware then update the way the Verizon users are doing it. I've been running it all morning on my AT&T s7 edge. Only issue is no facebook app. Doesn't work at all.

Where can I get Verizon update nougat? Without registering? Software update in settings or Odin it

There is a thread in the Verizon forum, the link to the OTA is in the op. You need to put the update zip on your external sd card in a folder named "fota" which you create. Once you're on the Verizon firmware via Odin, you reboot to stock recovery and apply update from sd card. Just go follow the thread instructions, the only difference being that you need to Odin to the Verizon firmware first so that the nougat beta update will apply.

So the SD card update zip is nougat right

Correct.
1. Odin to vze firmware (there's a thread over there)
2. Download nougat beta ota (there's a thread over there)
3. Create folder on external sd named fota
4. Place update.zip (nougat beta) in folder.
5. Turn off oem unlock in settings.
6. Turn on usb debugging in settings.
7. Reboot stock recovery
8. Select apply update from sd card and find it in the fota folder you created.
Note: mine took well over 5 minutes. I thought it froze at one point. Just wait.

It has a new bootloader which will block the ability to odin flash images from other carriers or the unlocked images on the US devices. So no more Verizon version using the unlocked firmware.
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-note8-bootloader-odin/
Has anyone been able to pull a Verizon ODIN file for the Note 8 from SamFirm??? I can't get any SM-N950U file with a VZW region.
Im curious too. If I flash the BRA8 from the BRA5 (which I'm on) will I have network issues. I believe the BRA8 is for ATT/TMO no?
I can't decide if I should update at the risk of losing out on being able to try the Unlocked firmware for my phone. hmmm
I just tried to odin the BRA8 so that I could apply the Oreo update and it Odin'd fine but it got to 32 percent on the phone during reboot and gave me an error code. Tried to Odin again and the same result. Rebooted phone just fine though.
Update: decided to install the update.zip and it worked. Oreo works great.

It was from here. https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-note8-android-oreo-february-security-patches/
Only select BL, AP, CP. I did get an error during reboot but everything seems fine. Then I installed the update.
Update 2: life focus is very choppy and slow. Strange because the rest of the phone feels buttery smooth.

I updated on Monday afternoon. It went without a hitch. My phone DID NOT reset all data, I do not know if I got lucky or what.
I just followed the instructions and put the update on my card.
Everything is working good. Sometimes i get a message that some app like the phone may not work due to compatibility issues but they always work.
I am looking forward to the release because I really like some of the changes.
Peace

We're you on the BRA5 build?
I installed the 3BRA5 VZW ROM via Odin then Odin'ed the 3BRA8 AP, BL & CP files without reboot & installed update.zip via recovery. Now MMS texts won't send.
Anyone else have this problem??
I took the OTA from verizon then I tried this Update to Oreo.
did you do the cscs file? If I remember correctly there were 4 files to flash.
/
I got it to work for me. I downloaded the newest version of Odin v3.12.7 and started the installation of the BRA8 software. It did the installation up to 32% and failed. I then applied the update.zip and it went through with no problems. We'll see how she goes from here on out.

None of my phone was reset either which was kind of nice. No need to do a factory reset if you dont want to. Again, my steps:
ONLY select BL, AP, CP. I did get an error during reboot around 32% but everything seems fine upon start up. Then I reboot into recovery and installed the update from the SD card. Everything is great with the exception of live focus...little choppy.
I did all 4 files from the BRA8 firmware. It tried to install and got to 32% before fail. My phone actually booted directly into recovery mode and I selected the update.zip file. It took a little while to process, but when the phone rebooted...BANK!!! So far so good. Haven't checked out live focus yet.
FYI: I did a factory data reset this morning and now the phone seems to be running much smoother. It also seemed to be draining the battery a bit faster after the upgrade. Since the reset it seems to be better now. I'll keep you posted in case anything crazy/weird happens...but so far so good.
Newer Version CRB3
Someone posted that there was a newer version of this firmware over at samsung.firmware.science. It is build CRB3. If you try to simply flash the update.zip it will fail. You will need to use the BRA8 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) to downgrade. Here are my steps for those interested: 1)download CRB3 firmware and put it on your SD card, 2)use odin to downgrade to BRA8 (I used Odin 3.12.7), 3)get the 32% installation failure on the blue screen, 4)wait...the phone will boot into the recovery mode, 5)use the menu to install update.zip from sd card, 6)wait til it finishes and BANK!!! I'm on the newer version as we speak. Not sure of the differences yet, but some have reported linking to android wear devices was sketchy on CRB1 but not so much on this build. Give it a whirl!!!
My Verizon Nte 8 is showing N950USQU3CRB5. Works great. No more rooting for me.

Yes, you can use this and flash back to Nougat.
Yes, this is bootloader version 3, so you won't be able to flash back to any previous build in bootloader version 2.
No, it won't break any future OTA updates. If you do experience any problems with OTA updates, I do have them available to flash manually, if needed.

No, I dont think so. I've tried to download it 20 times already. First time I downloaded, it says download finished. Then when i went to unzip it, there was 5 files and I got some sort of error unzipping on 2 of the 5 files. So I downloaded it again, this time I only got 2 of the 5 files with another error. Redownloaded, got 5 files, error unzipping. Tried different download managers, different browsers.... I'm lost......

Make sure your phone is in download mode. I'm about to give this a go when I get home tonight. There are lots of little things about Oreo that I don't like.
Should be flashing all files that match up with the slots in Odin. I don't think the HomeCSC is absolutely needed (I believe it preserves your data, not sure). I've never used it before. Just know this will erase everything on your device.
My phone is currently bricked, or at least I believe so. It was bricked before and I flashed a different firmware, and after I had it working I upgraded all the updates through the phone to Oreo, from Nougat 7.1.1, and then tried to root it which was stupid on my part, now the firmware that un-bricked my phone won't flash again and it stops after it says xbl.elf. Also on my phone after it fails it says something about SW Rew 3 > binary 2 or something along those lines. I believe this is happening because the firmware I am trying to flash that worked before is now older or something, and right now I am downloading this firmware to try it out.
I have tried flashing this onto the phone, the first time everything went fine, but then when the android came up it said Error..., then it just goes to the charging circle but it doesn't show what my battery is at, and also what I have noticed is my phone will not go into download mode or do anything unless it's plugged in, I have no idea what to do as of right now.

Had a couple of scares but it worked fine.
1. After selecting the files in Odin, it took a while for a couple of the files to populate into the slot. Wasn't expecting it to take so long to analyze the files.
2. After it finished, there was a pause at 32% on the phone saying there was an error. After a minute or so it rebooted.
3. When it rebooted it went to a screen saying the phone was encrypted and to enter my password. I had never encrypted the phone, plus, I had done a complete factory reset before flashing in Odin.
The solution to fix this was to power off, boot to recovery, factory reset and clear cache. It booted up fine after that.
Now I'm back to what I wanted. I had purchased Package Disabler a while back so I first installed that and disabled software update so it won't upgrade to Oreo.

No. Read my last sentence in my last post. I did all this so I could go back to Nougat and stay there by disabling the software update. I did not like Oreo. I didn't like the way notifications were changed for Oreo. Badges were tied to status bar notifications, unlike Nougat.
Plus, my phone didn't feel as smooth in Oreo and my battery life was worse.
I'm staying on Nougat for a while.

My phone is not unlocked. The UI in Nougat and Oreo are very much the same. There are some features that are different to each one.
I don't see how you can upgrade to Android P. Oreo for Samsung was just released back in March. Unless there's something I don't know, P won't be released for this phone for quite a while. But I hope I'm wrong about that.

Update above android 6.0.1

Hello, I think I have an issue with my phone. Now I'm not a big champ on electronics, I'm pretty sure there have been updates above android 6.01. How come I can't download them? When I go to the update MIU thing, its tells me I'm not connected to the internet (currently surely connected to a stable Wi-Fi connection) and that it can't find anything on my SD card. Is there a way of updating I don't know about? I hope you guys can help, and thanks in advance!

MIU? You sure you're not on a Xiaomi? :laugh:
Which is your phone model? The one on the back of the phone. It should say "A2017U", "A2017G" or "A2017".
You need to download the update zip (If you have an U or chinese you'll have a problem, since ZTE took the update pages down) and put it in the internal storage, then go to the update screen and update. If you have a G, just download them from Raystef66's Download Center. You need to download the Factory images, NOT the TWRP flashables.
If you have an U or chinese, you'll have to get the zip from somewhere else probably.

Okay so I see a lot of download links there but can't figure out which one I need, do you have any idea? I feel kinda stupid now haha
Hey. You need Marshmallow B10 (last 6.0 update before 7.0) afterwards the first version of 7.1 (Sorry I don't know exactly the version number) and last the 7.1.1 B10 (The very last update for 7.1.1 before Oreo). I have them all for the A2017G that i downloaded from the German ZTE website before it got shut down. I can upload them for you, all you have to do is put them on an sd card, go to the default phone updater and the updates will show there. From there on just press update(install) on each one at a time and after the last one you're done. No need for sketchy flashing through recovery. It's all done through the phone updater. I'll comment later once I have the files uploaded.
Can you tell us which stock ROM version it's currently running?

I'll make it simpler.
First of all check the version number on Settings - About. If it is "A2017GV1.0.0B10" or maybe B11 then you're good to go, just go to the Download Center, find the "Factory Images" section (NOT THE TWRP FLASHABLE SECTION) and download the one called N-B10 (No need to download the other two zips, just the one that says B10). Then put that package on the internal storage directly, and go to Settings - Update, and update
If you are on any version below V1.0.0B10, you'll have to download the latest Marshmallow update first, and install it like i said earlier. Then download the Nougat zip and do the same

HTC 10 Verizon Oreo OTA or Backup Needed

I just bought a used sim unlocked HTC 10 Verizon off eBay yesterday, it was shipped with marshmallow firmware and I successfully managed to update it to the 7.0 nougat through htc sync manager, however after updating it to 7.0 sync manager shows that the phone is updated to the latest version and there aren't any further updates available, we all know that verizon released an 8.0 update as well for the htc 10. Also, I tried updating through OTA but whenever I press on check updates it says "Cannot connect, we had trouble checking for the system updates." Can anybody provide me with an SD card backup or anything so that I can update my phone to 8.0 officially without losing data? I just want to update it to 8.0 and nothing else, don't want to root it or anything. So far the device seems amazing.
Some information about my phone:
Model Number: HTC 6545LVW
Current Software Version: 2.41.605.36

I just bought a used sim unlocked HTC 10 Verizon off eBay yesterday, it was shipped with marshmallow firmware and I successfully managed to update it to the 7.0 nougat through htc sync manager, however after updating it to 7.0 sync manager shows that the phone is updated to the latest version and there aren't any further updates available, we all know that verizon released an 8.0 update as well for the htc 10.

This will wipe your data though, unfortunately.

It's a zip file so you'll need to rename to 2PS6IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and boot to download mode.

im fairly new to HTC, this might sound like a noob question: Will it start updating itself as soon as I boot it in the download mode? P.S file being in the SD card on root

No but it will prompt you to flash it, as long as you named it properly.

You can't. I think you can flash it using fastboot commands? I don't know how though. I saw @yldlj mention it, maybe he can help?

You need to download htc_fastboot from HTC dev. I'm not sure the commands tho but im sure if you google it it will come up. Htc_fastboot allows flashing bigger files. Or just go to the shops today and get an SD card which is the easy way.

One UI4 Beta 1, 2 & 3- US - OTA update link (N986U1 only)

Folks - Please do read carefully
One UI 4 Beta is live for Note 20 Ultra in US (Unlocked devices)
This Beta is for SM-N986U1 only
Open up the Samsung members app it will show if there is an update available. Update the app.
After update see the top banners as in my screenshot. Tap on that and sign up for Beta. In case you don't get the sign up banner, see below.
Beta 1 - I was able to capture One UI4 Beta 1 OTA link
Beta 2 - This enables esim on U1 (Unlocked) - One UI4 Beta 2 OTA link
Beta 3 - One UI4 Beta 3 OTA link
Google pay is not working on Beta 1, 2 and 3.
Pre-requisite - To flash Beta 1 you need to be on firmware N986U1UES2DUJ7
Beta 2 should only be flashed after you are on Beta 1
Beta 3 should be flashed only when you are on Beta 2
Just download by clicking the link rename it to update.zip and flash it either through recovery or by using ADB.
If you don't want to download using OTA link, rename etc our good friend @kangi26 has uploaded the beta versions along with the instructions to flash here in the post 3 of his thread along with many other firmwares.
Fair warning flashing through recovery or ADB may wipe your device.
To avoid Wipe (ATT users on U1 firmware) do the following: (Thanks @DevVorteX
Remove SIM
open phone app, dial *#272*IMEI#
Replace IMEI with your IMEI number which you can copy from settings
This brings up service menu
Select XAA
Click Install
Select "Sales&Network Code Change"
Hit the "OK" button
Your phone will restart
When it came back up, I checked in software info and it was XAA/XAA/ATT,XAA (whatever that means)
Reboot to recovery
Sideload the beta via adb
Let it do it's thing and reboot (keep sim out the whole time)
When it boots up, you're good to go
Put the SIM back in, and it'll prompt you to reboot
That's it. No more wipes.
Beta registrations are closed for now as it's full.
That's not available to me yet. And the link doesn't appear to go anywhere for me
I was able to download the .bin file, Will try to get a flash (or will wait until I get the beta sign up option)

That's correct you should be able to rename it update.zip and flash. Try cleaning members app cache and data And restart the app.

For those having trouble downloading it, just copy and paste the link into ADM
@warriorvibhu thanks man! Much appreciated

Grazie, I might give the update.zip a shot.
I did the clear cache/and did the Data too, no joy
Well, pulled the trigger. Lets see if I break anything
I'll report back when it's done updating (Still no joy on the Samsung Members)
So it took about 5-10 min to update, and it DOES wipe. But looks good so far, setting up now. I suspect that without signing up for the Beta, it MAY not get updates. It's been a LONG time since I've run a beta and it's hard to remember

I'll take a look when if finishes updating everything.
Also as a side note, it appears that there is a BP app available in the Samsung app store for Sammy Watches "My BP Lab"

Is there any chance this'll wipe my device. I'm on the unlocked (U1) firmware, but on an ATT device on an ATT sim. I know there used to be something dumb where ATT somehow forced wipes for sideloaded updates. Since I flashed U1 via oden I shouldn't have to worry about that right?
What firmware are you in? is it DUJ7?

OH doesn't look like a Sammy app. Looks like a third party app.

If you use the Update.zip method, it will 100% wipe, I can't speak to updating via the Samsung Members

No wipe via Samsung members app.
So it seems update.zip method wipes. (did you do ADB or recovery)
I was in older firmware upgraded to DUJ7 and its flashing. so far so good.

It's been so long since I've beta tested, I can't remember. Does it come with the Samsung Members Beta apk? What happens when you log in to it?
