Hi all. Wanting to update to Nougat on my 635A. I'm using a cricket Sim so it tells me that 6.0.1 is up to date. Was using cricket on the Tmo FW and got Nougat just fine, but had to send the unit in to Samsung for screen repair so I flashed it back to stock before doing that. Do I need to Odin something to get it grab and download the update OTA? Looks like my build # is API2? Thanks!
I'm guessing I need to Odin to APK1? Reason I'm asking is I was using my cricket Sim while on the Tmobile FW and it pushed the nougat update just fine.

Can anyone help please, I unlocked my O2 S4 with an unlock code from O2, I then flashed the standard BTU firmware to KitKat to get rid of the O2 branding and make it standard.
When I check for OTA updates it says I already have the latest firmware installed.
When I connect to Kies3, I get the same message, I have the latest firmware.
No message to say its been modified or anything like that, just that I already have the latest firmware.
it currently has: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505BTUFNE1
Not rooted and nothing flashed except official KitKat.

Download latest BTU firmware from SamMobile or something else and flash over your current firmware with Odin. I've done the same thing on my friend's i9500 using XSE firmware (because update via OTA takes 1GB+) and everything goes fine.

Many thanks for the reply, I just did a factory reset and it appears to have started the upgrade, thanks for the help though.
Sorry, this is probably already posted somewhere but I'm having trouble getting a straight answer. I'm in uk and getting a note 4 on att, obviously it won't let me update as I'm not in US. It's currently on KitKat 4.4.4. Just wondering, with Odin, do i have to update it with every android version released gradually working my way up or can I jump say, straight to 5.1 then from there to marshmallow? Thanks.
Nope, you can upgrade the firmware from whatever version of android, that is currently on your device. Straight to the latest version of Marshmallow using Odin.
I just bought a refurbished AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge and is on the May security update build G930AUCU4BQD4. I looked online and the latest build for the August security update is G930AUCU4BQG1. I go to check for updates and it tells me its up to date. Does anyone know how can I force the cell to download the update. I tried looking for an OTA file to use and flash from recovery, but no luck.
Thank you.
My first question is did you buy an Edge which is a 935 or the S7(Flat) which is the 930. Depending on that the next question is who is your carrier. If it is ATT then you should be able to OTA with no needed tinkering. If it is not ATT then you would have to sideload the ota zips via recovery. Plenty of links and descriptions on XDA for how to do that, but we need to know which phone it is first.

It's the 935 edge att, but not getting ota's. I did find the files to update, but I am not sure if it will delete restore the phone to factory.

Sideloading WILL wipe the phone. I still am not clear on whether this is a 935a or a 935v with a fw. Also is your provider att. The only reason I am aware you would not get it's is of you flashed a leaked or beta fw that has no upgrade path. Try to Odin the full fw.
Literally no matter what I do. I cannot flash ANYTHING in Odin to either revert back to 7.0 or stock 8.0. Its not flashing any version of 7 or 8 and its not flashing any U firmware or AT&T firmware.
What am I doing wrong. I flashed 8.0 with the intent to be able to revert back to stock 7.0 once official Oreo rolled out and I literally cant do anything in Odin. I've tried odin 3.13 and 3.12 prince version. HALP
update: flashed G930UUEU4BRD1 using odin 3.12 successfully. phew
As far as I know, the newest Oreo version of AT&T is CRE4, not BRD6 as you say

You may be speaking about where I said CRD6, that is a version of Oreo that doesn't have much difference than the latest version of Oreo CRE4. Most of them after release have been minor changes. I was not flashing back to BRA1 to constantly flash the newest update of Oreo. I have an unlocked s7 so I can flash any carrier but eventually when the official oreo firmware comes out for either tmobile or the unlocked 930 varient i will be switching back to OTA updates

The issue was probably that I needed to put home file in csc and exclude the csc file and then factory reset and clear caches. I probably ended up factory reset before Odin and didn't activate USB debug or the files I was using were corrupt. Since then I've just flashed TMobile Oreo that came out a few days ago and I'm gonna just use official ota for future updates

Reverting back from Oreo to either Nougat or Marshmallow
I am a newbie here.. Recently my ATT Galaxy S7 received Oreo upgrade and I am not at all liking it.
Can someone please guide me if it's possible to go back to Nougat or even marshmallow (preferable). If yes, what would steps for same..
My device is SM-G930A. Originally ATT device and now it's unlocked by ATT.
My device is currently NOT rooted , I am OK with rooting it.. I would appreciate if someone can help me with steps for same as well..
Thanks in advance..
According to GSM Arena, T-Mobile just released official android 8 for s7/s7 edge! Finally. Now which firmware should I be on because I have an unlocked phone and I want to flash TMobile firmware since I have TMobile sim card.
https://www.gsmarena.com/tmobile_starts_rolling_out_samsung_galaxy_s7_oreo_update-news-31959.php
I'm pretty sure I can just use SamFirm to flash the official firmware since SamFirm has all the official firmware for samsung phones. I will check to see if SamFirm has updated to Android 8 on the Tmobile s7/s7 edge.
Update: Yup, SamFirm has the official version for Download if you aren't getting the OTA update. (see attachment below)
Can confirm. Just completed the OTA update.

How is it running for you?
Smooth install. no freezes or crashes as of today. I did do a shutdown right after install. Rebooted just fine. I plan on doing cache wipe after a day or two.
overall responsiveness seems no worse than 7.
Running smooth after factory reset, but the secure folder icon doesn't change with icon packs. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any bugs like this.
I upgraded to this build and I don't like it. Can I odin back to 7.0 and be ok?

Oreo isn't rooted period because of the locked bootloader on the us variants. If you have an atnt phone and an atnt sim, why not just flash the official atnt Oreo. Or the official atnt nougat bra1 and then just use the ota updates to get to official atnt oreo

Yea sorry I meant for it to be unlocked still on Oreo if installed the t mobile Oreo. Should I just use sammobile and download the art nougat use odin then do the ota through the phone?

I have an unlocked s7. We can use any carriers firmware. If you want the atnt firmware, you can go to the atnt s7 forums and they have the nougat and the Oreo firmware. They have the stock atnt Oreo firmware that you should be able to flash directly. If that doesn't work, you can flash atnt nougat bra1 and then just continuously ota until the Oreo update comes up, I think atnt is currently on Oreo CRE4 if they haven't had an update. Also, if your phone is unlocked and you've had the 930U firmware before, I'm actually gonna switch over to the unlocked Oreo once it is officially released since the U firmware doesn't have all the carrier bloat. Right now the U firmware is only on BRD1 nougat I believe.
If you want tmobiles Oreo, just flash the files I provided. If it doesn't work then revert back to atnt nougat bra1 or unlocked bra1 and then you can flash this TMobile Oreo

As of now do you believe Oreo is worth it, or should I wait till it it is more stable

Oreo is worth it and it's stable. It's been out for a while, it's just now hitting older devices. Currently Android P is the newest Android. Which is Android 9
