How can I update to Nougat? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi, my galaxy model is SM-G935U, I am on 6.0.1 and I was wondering if it is possible to update to Nougat in some way. I go to software update on my phone but it doesn't show up like other youtube videos. Is it just not out for my model yet?

It's not out for any of the snapdragon handsets yet. We might not see it until after the S8 launches.

No 4.4.4 for g900h

I read at multiple forums that s5 has received update for 4.4.4 but mine is still on 4.4.2 and have not received any update in past month.
Is it that only snapdragon version has received this update?
Because of this, I have another doubt. Will the lollipop update for g900h also be delayed compared to snapdragon versions?

Yeah. That's the most painful to me. I didn't knew about the Exynos matter in S5. Actually I think, Samsung cheat here with us. Price is also same..
BTW,
I don't see any 4.4.4 update for G900H model.. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900H/
And I think updates for our G900H model will be delayed compared to Snapdragon.
Why does Samsung spends so much in ads for their processor if they aren't willing to support anything to it?
Octa-core, big.LITTLE arch but only snapdragon's got 4.4.4 (and 5.0 for what it seems) update.
This is the last time i buy a samsung's, that's for sure.
Not all snapdragon has....mine hasnt im on 4.4.2 still
Only US Variants have 4.4.4 atm..the international version g900f is still 4.4.4

Another irritating thing is the lack of custom ROMs for this model. I feel kinda cheated. However can't blame anyone, I should have done my homework.

and one model has received the update. looking at the number of models s5 has, i think g900h will come at the last, if it comes at all.

New to the S5. Root?

Just picked up a basically new S5 for $200. Nice phone. I'm coming over from the Galaxy Note II. It's still running 4.4.4 so what's the easiest way to root and/or update it from here?
If it helps it shows a baseband version of G900VVRU1ANK2. Not seeing anything on this version for rooting.

Yes you can. As long as the firmware belong to N9100 you can. If the firmware belong to other variant like N910F then you can't

Yes it is. If you did not receive you can do two things.
1. Call At&t tech service and explain whole situation. They will help you.
2. ADB sideload from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/nougat-files-t3548594

Downgrading Firmware?

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S8 G950W. Currently I'm on Orea, but from my understanding, in order to root this version of the phone it needs to be on Nougat. I'm in the process of downloading the Nougat firmware for my specific version/carrier for the S8. Are there any guides on how to downgrade?
Side note; I'm also interested in LineageOS. After a few quick searches I wasn't able to find if there is a version for the Galaxy S8 G950W. Does anyone know?
Thanks!
