And if you want a locked bootloader.

Just want to point out they do have an update officially from Samsung out to go to 5.1.1 on the US WiFi version.

I just got a wifi Android update after pressing "Software Update" under settings.
This 248MB downoad updated my S2 from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 - Build number LMY47X.T810XXUIBOH7
The update was to US version SM-T810 tablet that I have had a little over 2 weeks.

Is the bootloader locked on the Verizon Galaxy Tab S2?

Every modern device from Verizon has a locked bootloader.

Does the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab S2 come with Android 5.1.1 and does it have a locked bootloader?

Rogers Canada S2
Mine came with build LMY47X.T817WVLU1AOH2 android 5.1.1

I just bought an S2 WiFi 9.7" from Best Buy earlier this evening (25 Sep). Out of the box it had 5.1.1 on it.

I think other regions will have to wait some more, I heard there is an update ready to mitigate the stagefright vulnerability, but it's still 5.0.2

I also had a update when I purchased mine 2 weeks ago, but it was only a minor one, still 5.02

I have a UK 9.7"and it is on 5.0.2. No software update available at present.

I think you are out of luck - it looks like only WiFi models can be rooted as bootloader locked on other models. Check out the section on rooting in this S2 section. You may have to wait awhile.

Tmobile LTE tablet s2

Telstra Australia Tab S2 9.7 LTE
Came with 5.0.2. No updates. But is unlocked and rooted. Waiting on a deodexed rom now ?

5.1.1 @ 4g

From France
SM-T815 with 5.0.2
XXU1AOG9
Unlocked bootloader but no official update for me (I've rooted my tab)

I just got my 817T yesterday at T-Mobile, rocking 5.1.1 AOG8. Last night however, the Tab told me that an update was available. I haven't taken it yet because I didn't want to risk messing up the root process. I actually just got myself some root access 2 mins ago (I beleive a "woo hoo!!" is in order...) and I still have the notification for the update. I'd like to check out a changelog... just thought it was interesting for a Tmo device to be getting fast updates and such... Meanwhile my Note 4 is still on 5.0.1, ya know, unlike every other carrier

2 810's (one for my wife, one for myself); both on 5.0.2 out of the box, no update to 5.1.1 in sight. Maybe Samsung skips 5.1.1 in our part of the world and goes straight to "M".

Signal loss after updating to 8.0 HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

I have a Verizon S7 Edge that had version 7.0 installed. After upgrading to 8.0 by Odin I run out of coverage and the Network Operators tab appears off. I have already tried everything and I do not resolve. Even try to go back to version 7.0 and stay the same. Please someone help me. I live in Cuba and I do not want to lose my cell phone.

I tried something new and I have interesting results.
I installed a Firmware U, it is a version of android 7. I installed it by odin and everything well without problems. When I restarted I put the SIM and it told me that I had to restart to configure the options of my operator. It restarted without problem and to my surprise it CONTINUES without Signal. In '' Access Point Name '' the APN of my operator's MMS has been created ONLY and AUTOMATICALLY. I did not set it up, it came out alone.
I still do not understand what problem this phone has. There are several people reporting similar problems with the upgrade to Oreo even in other S7 EDGE models.
Any ideas?????

Anyone get official Oreo 8.0 for SM-G935U Unlocked variants?

Anyone get official Oreo 8.0 for SM-G935U Unlocked variants? I mean it seems every other carrier is pushing their Oreo already, even the Exynos model ones got Oreo, was there no love for us with USA unlocked models?

I'm waiting for the official update too. Btw have you tried flashing the G935T Oreo firmware? I've tried the G935A firmware and scrolling and overall performance feels unrefined compared to nougat.

I contacted Samsung support and they said there were issues with it, so the developers are going to fix them all before Oreo is released to the SM 935U.

Finally a update . I was beginning to wonder since the S8+s [g955u1] already had 3 unlocked firmware's with Oreo and the S9+s [g965u1] having one. Now the next is to find out what Binary version the unlocked Oreo firmware's will have since Sprints stock Oreo Firmware [g935p] has a Binary 6.

I got one this evening! Still downloading...

I updated my unbranded SM-G935U yesterday, and it has permanently disabled my WiFi! Nothing fixes it, Samsung support refer me to a service center. Tired of Samsung problems tbh. Definately getting Pixel3 when it comes out! Just gotta chug along until then without WiFi -.-

I got the update two days ago. No issues at all.

Flashed the t mobile oreo firmware on july 4th when it came out and then flashed the g935u firmware as soon as it came out. Gotta say I love oreo on this device. it makes the phone so much faster and adds so many great features! ?
Does anyone think it will receive the android 9.0 update as well?

Have you tried a full data wipe thru recovery?

Yes. When I first factory reset it, I did it from inside Android. That did not resolve the WiFi issue. My next step was to reboot into recovery and factory reset the phone that way (format data/chache). Still did not work.
I re-installed Nougat through ODIN, and my WiFi works perfectly. I set my updates to manual this time, and will not update to Oreo. I only have to get by until October, then I can get my Pixel 3.
Thank you for your suggestion.

I had a problem after I installed the oreo. Maybe just a coincidence but after about 30 mins of installing the update, I got the grey lines on the screen. Saw some people had same problems even before the oreo. I tried going back to nougat and it is still there.

AT&T Baseband / Modem

I have gone back to my Exynos S7 Edge from my Snap unrooted ATT Note 8 .......
I'm trying the newer Oreo ROMs but it would appear that the newly flashed later baseband modem files pretty much suck for reception on ATT. Any suggestions for the best current ATT baseband that will work with the newer ROMs like Oreo ?
Also after having been gone for almost a year from the forum any suggestions for the best ROM experience currently ??
Thanks

S7 Edge - SW Rev Check Fail (BootLoader) Phone:8 Binary:7

Hi All,
i have a UAE version S7 Edge Duos model, used in Australia.
VOLTE option doesnt work and 3G signal is set to be shutdown in a couple of years.
850Mhz 3G band is already decommissioned. Only 2100Mhz band is operating now.
Hence i badly need VOLTE to work on the phone.
Current UAE firmware version 8 and all of Australian stock ROM's version is in 7.
Hence it fails to load via ODIN, complaining SW Rev Check fail.
Wondering if there is any way of applying a lower version (7) stock ROM firmware onto a phone with version 8 level.
Else, if flashing the phone to something like Lineage OS or anyother ROM would help?
Or Stock Sam fw ver 8 --> Lineage OS or others --> Stock AU fw ver 7 work?
Thanks

No method to flash a lower binary.
You need root and twrp. Flash latest alexndr's devbase in twrp.
Be sure to change csc to your operator whom you want to use volte with by reading instructions carefully in the thread.
Remember that it will trip knox. Good luck !
