Is the new Nougat released today for the Tmo S7 edge rootable? If so, do you root it the same way as APK1 version? Although I am not rooted, I would like to have the option to root in the future. I'm guessing the bootloader is NOT downgradable based on previous versions. Any thoughts?
Dude, it JUST came out
The impatience is real..
Unlocked bootloader? Sorry, couldn't resist. Hopefully root will be possible, though.
It's probably not going to happen for a while. If at all. The only reason why we had root in MM was because of an engineering kernel. What are the odds that one will leak for Android 7? I wouldn't hold your breath.
I didn't even try the root method for apk1 ... The feedback was mostly negative, and I saw more and more people just use the U firmware.
While I miss root from my note 4, I've pretty much come to grips that the G935T (S7 edge T-Mobile) with it's locked bootloader will most likely never be truly rootable. ? I hope I'm proven wrong though.

if you are on the unreleased build, it's the same build AT&T released via OTA, you are on the official build.

Is this true? AT&T's OTA for the S7 (Flat) is the same version that I got from the unreleased 7.0 thread?
I bricked my phone trying to go back to PK1, AT&T is sending a warranty replacement but my Wife's phone has this update too. Had I known I wouldn't have even touched it!
So in other words I should be able to receive any future OTA updates right? I should just leave my wife's phone alone?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you sideloaded QA4 (or any build) you must Odin back to APk1 and then you can take the att over the air update. Otherwise, it will always say that you are up to date when you check on your phone.

OFFICIAL Nougat files for S7 Edge with February security build BQA6
If you have never updated other than using the att software update function on your phone then the Nougat 7.0 update should be available right now.

Thank you very much! I've got the files, hopefully I can unbrick my damn phone. I have the teal screen triangle of death (Download mode only) and boot loop when I try to get into recovery or just boot the phone normally when I tried to flash the wrong files...
Odin to the rescue hopefully.

Hi All,
I'm a little confused as to where us U firmware users stand with Nougat. I've seen differing reports of what the known plan is with this. I believe some are saying we're waiting for Verizon to release it to the 935u, otherwise I'm reading that we're on a quarterly update schedule and won't be seeing anything until April.
I bought my 935V from VZW and flashed over to unrooted U firmware - actually by using the normal flash method and then doing a firmware restore from verizon's utility to get full unroot. Not exactly a typical method, but it gave me peace of mind knowing everything is completely stock U.
Everything is running great so I'm not in urgent need of an update for any reason, but would like to see some new features.
Lemme know if anyone has any clues here as for what to expect. Thanks in advance!
Not exactly sure what you mean by going full "unroot".. unless you ment, you wanted the U firmware for a smoother "root" can you please clarify bubby?

But anyway, lol. You are correct of the U FW being released somewhere around April. Verizon isn't responsible for U firmware, Samsung is.. I'm actually surprised Verizon released before U

Good to know. Thanks.
I had to root in order to flash U FW, but the root process we have for GS7 is really process heavy and battery draining. I wanted an unrooted version of the U firmware with no bullsh*t and good battery life so I unrooted and restored using the software tool.

Ah Gotcha, sorry I misunderstood the op. Maybe give the T or V carrier FW a spin till U gets released? I haven't upgraded yet but am tempted. Been using stang 5.0 rom and been pretty impressed. I'd say I would recommend it even with the faults of the eng boot.
I also believe I seen a "no root no bull**** playstore Nougat rom" by jkruse, or something to that effect. If that's something your into
Lots of cry babies over in the Samsung forums. I can see why everyone is so upset but Samsung never promised faster updates for unlocked variants over carrier models. I'm content waiting at least until April for the nougat release of the 935u. Screw Verizon bloat. It's not worth putting up with it for Nougat.
There are some articles with Samsung's new commitment for monthly security updates on unlocked devices. This should mean that the 935U will get Nougat this month with March security update.

Well, sorta agree with you. I'm patiently waiting for the U update to 7.0, but in the mean time I'm running the Verizon update on a backup device. I can't really enjoy 6.0.1's UI after having Grace UX.
G935U Nougat (G935UUEU4BQD2) is now available!

Smart Switch PC can also do an in-place update to 7.0. It's the April security patch.
I've downloaded the nougat U firmware and can't get it to install over the latest VZW firmware, the one that came out in the last few days. Has anyone been able to, if so please outline your steps.

I would flash the full Odin package for U 6.0 and then use Smart Switch PC to update to 7.0.

Can anyone on an UDP confirm if you can tether the unlocked software of the 935u on 7.0 nougat now that it is out?

Yes i have the original UDP and the tethering option works. How ever i cant get the verizon video calling to work??
So from what I'm getting, to install (if I'm on Verizon Nougat), flash Unlocked 6.0 first, then smart switch to 7.0? Also, I read that someone had been having issues with using LTE while in a phone call, can anyone confirm? And what happened to all the other fix files, since I remember the first time flashing the unlocked software required more subsequent flashes as well.
I hate the Oreo update. I'm on Telus in Canada with Snapdragon and I was wondering if I would be able to downgrade back to nougat G950WVLU2AQK7 with Odin safely without a brick.

Hey buddy, do you mind telling me what do you hate about the update?
Is it buggy?
I have a friend that wanted to update to Oreo on a Telus s8 but I told him about your post and he hesitated.
But, I wish you good luck finding a way to downgrade.

How much worse is the battery life? Like what was the previous SOT (nougat) and the new SOT (oreo)
No mods and u didn't root right? No package disabled or anything?
I heard performance improved on oreo compared to nougat, can you verify that for us?
Thanks bro.

Jkruse just posted his root method for Oreo across Carriers. All credit goes to him. This was posted in the last 24hrs via the safestrap thread.
I have Samsung Galaxy s7 edge sm-g953a when ever I try to update my phone firmware through OTA it's always said your software is update while I am currently on 6.0.1 October 2016 update. how i can update my phone to 7 or 8 android version?

Has 1000% to do with the firmware. Has everything to do with the bootloader. The bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked so perm root is unattainable on the 935A or U firmware.
I was on nougat until the other night i believe my dog stepped on the update button because it comes up all the time and i usually ignore it. I want to get back to nougat(phone is unuseable on oreo)and root so this never happens again. I just paid it off also. Please give me a hand.
Edit:bootloader v3
Nope it's patched might as well use pie beta now
No root and no downgrade. Have to get another rev 2 since if you want root again or wait to see if it ever becomes available on rev or higher
Sucks so bad. Ive held off that update since i bought it and woke up in the morning to 8.0. Just paid it off also. Now its not even worth that much. Definitely my last flagship and last Samsung.
The guys from one of the safestrap root threads are saying I can get back to nougat as long as I am not past v5 bootloader. Have you heard anything about this?

If you are a regular s8 no. The combination file is a nougat system but is not functional as a everyday driver. This device prevents downgrading so yes technically if you flash the combination. It is a 7.0 base but no apps full of bugs. Heat. Crappy battery. No play store no nothing. Combination files are Samsung test imgs again not usable systems. So whoever is telling you this they can tell me too cause unless they said the same as this they are rolling off crap.
If you own a s8+ you posted in the wrong section and yes you can flash the rooted system. Or whatever they use til at least rev 3 bootloader.
Yes I was in the wrong forum. Thanks for the info. I used chat alot with ya on the telegram s8+ channel. Did you ever root yours? What allows the S8+ to be able to go back to nougat using the safestrap/samfail method? I was under the impression the phones were very similar hardware/software wise. Im just happy I can go back to nougat. I hate oreo.

Yeah my s8 had been rooted since like day 5 of having it. They either skipped or just messed up on patching the +. Past to me shows they don't patch the best model. I've seen it with several lgs. Samsung's. The plus models always get more attention.
Yeah I gave up that group, the management and I didn't see eye to eye. Now I run my own ????
Can you pm me your telegram? I'd love to be a part of one again. Thanks again for all your replies.
