Obtain beta OTA on a different phone - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello.
I'm successfully enrolled in the beta on my S7 Edge but then I dropped it and obtained a replacement device.
How can I get the beta on the new device please? Installing the Beta Programme APK doesn't do the trick :-/
Thanks!

I have no idea, but surely this is linked to your Samsung account and not the device itself? as such if you log in to your samsung account and download the Samsung Members app then it should work as normal...?
As said, I don't know this for sure, just theorising.

Thanks. Yes I tried that. Downloaded a members APK but on closer inspection it's not the correct version of the app. Will try and find the correct one and see what happens.

I've tried it and it states the device and samsung account need to be registered

Update received

I just received a 4 mb update after having the tab for almost two weeks, im not sure what it was probably just a maintenance update. Does anyone happen to know exactly what it was?

Go to settings and see what firmware version you have?
probably preparing for the next big push:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/03/galaxy-tab-10-1-update-coming-soon-ushers-touchwiz-into-the-hon/
And when you get it let us know your impressions,lots of people like myself are still sitting on the fence.
i didn't receive anything yet waitingfor touchwiz for trying it only
just did the update manually myself. Its a 4.14mb file. It reboots and installs (something). When the tab finally finishes the install and reboots it tells you its updated to build # (??? The message cleared too fast for me to catch it) it starts with a "P" though.
Goto Apps -> Settings -> About Tablet - You'll see the system details towards the bottom
The big question is will it take the ability to root away?

That's the build mine came with apparently as I haves not updated mine but it shows that build already.
Hmm dunno. I never checked build b4 the update. Still have no clue what it updated either. If anyone else is willing to test just do the update in settings/about/system updates
Btw im not rooted either
Were you rooted before? And if so did the update remove root?
I was rooted before and I'm still rooted after the update. The only problem I'm having is that my Market Enabler no longer loads at boot so I can get paid apps.

hi there, did u sign up thru About tablet -> System updates or you registered from Samsung website first then sign in thru System updates?
I tried both but still unable to get my device signed in for any updates. While signing up i got account already exist but when i try signing in i got wrong password. Then i tried to sign up thru Samsung website (US), i was able to sign up for an account and after that, i retry signin thru device but still got the same problem!
can anyone give me so hint / help with the sign in / up?
Tks in advance!

I just went through settings, about tablet, system update. I was registered with Samsung first but I'm not sure if that matters or not.

For those with a 10.1v - you're missing the Samsung Account option in Apps -> Accounts -> Add Account - so any samsung updates have to come from another source.

PSA: Samsung Pay on international S7/S7 edge

If you own the international s7/s7 edge, and was able to install samsung pay on the united arab emirate variant, than be sure not to update the app to 2.1.04 or .03. It will not work on the UAE firmware. Stick to the older version until someone figure out what had happen.
I'm on the .04 haven't tried to use it yet

do you have the UAE firmware? When you try to use it, you will not be able to activate the app with the pin or fingerprint sensor. I updated the app through the app itself, and there was no problem. But when I tried to pay for something using my pin, the keypad will not open. I then tried installing the latest available APK, but I only get a server error message when setting up my account. I eventually had to reset my phone and reinstall the older SP APK and SPF APK to get it back. I am currently using 2.0.36 and 2.3.03 respectively. They work just fine.

Thanks for this. After installing Samsung pay app and Samsung pay framework I was able to get in the Samsung Pay App. When I am trying to add any of my credit cards I am getting a server error. Anyone else getting the error after adding the new card?

You can delete the app and then reinstall to see if that will work. If not, you may have to do what I did. I had to eventually factory reset and do a clean install. After that, I had no issue with the setup process, except for one server error message. But I just kept went back and hit the start button again.

Are you on 2.0.36? That is the version I am using, and I only get a notification in settings of a newer version available. But it does not force my to update.

Beta registration has opened up again!

As the tile says.
woot.. i was able to sign up.. now waiting for the beta to be available to download...
I'm in now and downloading. Just go into settings and check for an update - it should be there. I'm on TMO in the US.
Not showing up for me, do you happen to be in the UK? I read that the beta opens up for US users later this week.
Got in!
Downloading now...
Edit: this build is noticeably faster and if battery life really does improve this build and android overall has come so very far. Awesome!
Anyway for any of you guys to post the firmware?

Sadly I don't think there is a way to successfully pull a functioning firmware currently for T-Mobile variants yet.
I got in, but have had no update pushed to me yet.
Wonder when it'll happen.
Registered yesterday and it's downloading now

Hmm, maybe its just taking longer to get the update for some people.
I went completely stock today to ensure there wouldn't be any issues. After it downloaded the November security update,I manually checked to see if yjete was another uodate,and the beta was waiting to download.
Maybe any of you guys can root after downloading update and share the ota file with others.. Only if rooting doesnt delete any user data..
Registered but not seeing the update.

Once it's pulled from the device it doesn't seem to work. People have tried to.
This is very fluid and stable great beta. Can't wait till official. No problems at all. It was mentioned that GEAR VR is not supported but it updated mine and no overheat runs perfect

Been close for a while my dude lol I was to slow to get back to tmo firmware so I coudnt sign up so I'm stuck with this beta
Hello, I have a Samsung s7 from t-mobile and want to sign up for the beta testing. I live in the US and cannot seem to find it on the app store. Pls help, thanks!

I got a way of getting the FINAL nougat update EARLY!

Hello, I have been talking with this guy from atnt s7 forum. This is what he said...
- Omar04
-Can't remember where they are but I remember I did this> dial *#8736364# a Screen will come up Software update there I tap on check for update then tap on Results if any you will see a long URL with many numbers on it use that URL to get the bin file containing the OTA link and use the ota link on a download manager for it to download if you don't have that version yet. But for the newest ota you need to decipher by yourself Q=2017 A=January and numbers after month =day of build if you lucky and find the correct build it will show up to download that's how we AT&T users find the Nougat ahead of time.
- If a long link didn't show then you need someone else with older build to do same for link to show on results then every one will be able to use that link and search for OTA hidden in servers.
If anyone is still on the old firmware , there is hope that through using this way, we can get an early final nougat!!!
Unable to process the request.
You have to have an older version of android MM.
That just brings it to the check for update menus with 2 more options. Tmobile is still adding their bloat and testing it before release according to their update status for s7

T-Mobile website still has it listed as I'm manufacture development stage. Gonna take a while before we see it

That could be it. I got the server URL for the guy that did the S7 one by just going into /data/data/com.ws.dm (the data folder for our system update app, you'll have to find the package name of yours) and looking through all the files. From there it seems he looked at the desc.bin that it downloads to get the URL of the actual update package, but I don't know what he did after that to find the other files.
I believe this is an alternative possibility of getting the same result. Also it IS possible. Atnt got their software early by using this exact same method.

One Beta official US release Live!!

1. Install samsung+ app from play store and register your note 8 device. You should then see a Galaxy Note 8 device in your account or homepage of the app
2. Go to play store again and on the Samsung + app page scroll down to join beta program for the app
3. Update the app to beta version (11.5.0.1)
4. Restart phone or clear app data and open the Samsung + app again. This time the app will look visually different because it's the beta version of the app
5. The banner should appear just on the homepage below the your note8 model info. Register using that link.
6. After about 5 mins or so. Go to settings- software update and check for updates. You should have the one ui beta update pushed to your device. About 1.5 gigs.
No issues with samsung gear, spay, or Netflix. Confirmed that night mode and Dolby are present
Just to add you need to be on unlocked us firmware n950u
never mind

My Samsung+ app looks nothing like yours. Mine has the navigation text at the top instead of the icons like you have at the bottom. I also don't see anything for the PIE beta.

In the google play store look for Samsung plus. Scroll down the in the app description and sign up to become a beta tester of the samsung plus app. It will then you give you the option to download the updated version of samsung +. Once down you should have access. That or you can do a search for the apk 11.5.0.1
It's still only giving me the 10.21.2.0 from Sept 2018 to download, anyone else experience this after joining beta?

It's been about an hour, I'm still on the old version of Samsung+, I wonder if it's because I'm already on DRL7

Are you on the US unlocked firmware?
Signed up for Beta. Have the new looking samsung+ but it's not showing one ui beta. I have installed and re installed samsung+ but not getting beta. What could be the issue?

I had the same issue until I flashed the csc file in Odin (not mome_csc). That's if you flashed the unlocked firmware to try to get the beta. After that I unregistered then re-registered for the beta and the download appeared.

Hello and thank you for this nugget of information. I have a 950U purchased from Samsung and on T-Mobile. To confirm, if I was to reflash CRK1 via Odin, for the CSC field, I would need to select the CSC_OYN_N950UOYN5CRK1 file correct and not the 'HOME_CSC_OYN....' file?
Thank you!
I think its just for the unlock model 950u1 not the 950u
edit: we can flash 950u1 firmware on our 950u done and running last update. also got rid of that annoying tmobile boot screen
I ended up reverting to CRK1 and it shows me the updated version of Samsung+ available now so I suspected this was the issue. Running through the steps now to get the beta installed.

Let me know if you get through. I think they said they had 10,000 spots and that might have been reached.

The banner isn't showing up but I'm going to try using the ota file that someone uploaded, but it's from CRL2 to ZSAB, downloading now.
EDIT: No luck as I suspected since I'd have to be on CRL2 for it to work, I'm just going to do a fresh install of the DRL7 for now.
