Hello guys.
I have waited for an official OTA nougat update for too long and now want to flash Nougat myself. I searched online and found multiple options. Could you recommend which Nougat to flash? I'm split between AT&T official and Unlocked (U) versions.
Currently I'm on MM G930AUCU4APJ4.
Thanks.
There is no Nougat yet for the G930U or G935U.

Hello,
I have L21C02B122, branded by Vodafone. I didn't get Nougat so I was thinking of changing to C432. Is Nougat worth it ? How buggy is it ?
How easy is it to change to C432 ? Can you point out a thread...
Thanks

Its still in development, in my opinion it is more valuable to save the varranty. Nougat is faster but wait for official OTA since with third-party ROM providers you dont know if youre going to be able to install new upgrades.
Nougat is so fast!! Interface and browser I love IT!

I came from Vodafone too.
Used this toolkit to debrand:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...pe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873/page67
Later upgraded to Nougat via OTA and everything is working fine. I do not use any root or TWRP modifications.
it is worth it. i don't know if the official ota for c432 is out yet, but if it's not, you could install b370 from one of the guides here. i don't know if that's beta or not. if you want to receive ota updates you could always flash back to stock mm and then install the official ota to nougat
Is it possible to flash back to Nougat from the Oreo beta on the US S8?. I've tried searching but I could only find information on the international version.
Follow the SMG950U instructions. Basically getting BLQ1 nougat flashed on the phone and then getting the update.zip for CRB8 and applying that in the Vol UP+Bixby+PWR boot.

Connect to pc with smart switch and it will give a downgrade option. At least it does for mine...
Hi,
So the new firmware update is really bad on the battery and I wanted to rollback for my SG955W. I downloaded the latest 7.0 firmware from sammobile and tried flashing with ODIN but it fails for some reason.
Can someone help me why?

I do not think that is possible. Bootloader on your model was updated to V3 from V2 on Nougat.
Samsung is responsible for doing this. They should be sued!

Download Nougat or Marsh from sammobile and flash t with Odin, more instructions on sammobile.
downgrade only possible with V2 firmware files, don't flash any firmware build before the january 2018 or you will brick your device .

I am new here i dont know what is V2 firmwarefile. Can you explain what is V2 firmware?? Thanks you for advise:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I mean the bootloader version that is written in the firmware name i.e in G935FXXU2DRAG, 2 is the bootloader version of the firmware after U letter and if you are already on version 2 bootloader, you cannot flash a firmware which has 1 in place of 2..

Ok Thanks you bro!!!!:fingers-crossed::good:
This is useful! I tried to downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0 and bricked my device, luckily I could restore the same version I had before... even SmartSwitch don't give a damn about my device anymore.
If you have bootloader version which says XXS2 then you can't downgrade to Marshmallow and initial Nougat firmwares released till December 2017.
However, if you never upgraded your bootloader to v2 (like me), then you can downgrade to even Marshmallow without any issues. Check my phone screenshot. I am running latest Oreo firmware on v1 bootloader without any issues.

How you flash latest Oreo without flasing V2 bootloader? It is possible?
Hi, how do I check my current bootloader version that is on my phone? And how do i know what version of bootloader will be in any stock rom i want to flash?
I don't want to overwrite with older bootloader. Need to know the current and the next one i will flash.
My device is from Europe and I have NPN25.137-92 installed.. I think this is not the latest stock nougat for my region.
Cheers.

No need to push your question everyday. If someone is able/wants to answer he will do.
First of all: NPN25.137-92 is not the European firmware, it's the one for India and Brazil.
The latest one in Europe seems to be NPN25.137-93-14, since yesterday there is another update with version number NPN25.137-93-18 out incl. August security patch but until now only US users (software channel RETUS) have confirmed it. For India/Brazil (your firmware) the latest Nougat firmware is NPN25.137-92-14.
Have you fastboot flashed some firmware on your device so that you are on NPN25.137-92 now? That could be the reason you don´t receive any further OTA updates.
Your bootlader version should be visible when you boot into stock recovery.
Yes, I must have flashed pretty wrong firmware, and now I want to get back on the track. Though I dont remember and I dont have knowledge what was flashed before that. Now I wonder what should be my next step in order to have latest European nougat, or oreo.

Flash latest european firmware NPN25.137-93-14 via fastboot. It can be found somwhere here in the Moto G 5+ threads or you can download it with Lenovo Smart Assistant: https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291
That should keep you back on track.
If you can't wait you can update to Oreo with the available OTA found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...fficial-moto-g5-g5-plus-t3848246/post77856408 ( Read OP of that thread to find out how). But as I posted above there's a newer nougat firmware out in the US so you may not receive future Oreo updates if you use this OTA.

Need an advice: I'm currently on POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10, OTA says i can update it to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14.. Then I could get Oreo OTA from the thread above. In case of any further trouble: will it be safe to return to nougat POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10 via fastboot? If yes, if then I update again to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14, it is safe to take nougat OTA again? And then oreo OTA again? Hope you get my point.

No, that's not safe. Downgrading is always a risky thing because of the bootloader and taking OTA after that could completely hardbrick your phone.
So if you're once on 93-14 you shouldn't flash an older firmware than this. Same applies to downgrading from Oreo to Nougat.

Well, in case of firmware, I cannot find direct 93-14 fastboot rom for download. I have found 93-10 only, that's why I'm concerned about not having the most up to date rom version on my hard drive to flash in case of<>.
