How to receive OTA updates after root? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi guys.Id like to ask you a little info.I rooted my Samsung S7 Edge with stock fw Nougat.I cant get updates via OTA.Is there a way to fix it?THX in advance.

once you root your device, a file in the operating system is changed so that you can not get OTA updates.
Currently there is no way to fix this.
you can try smart switch or go to sams mobile to see if there are any new updates.
currently the last update has February 1, 2017 security patch.

Nougat update help

I have samsung s6 edge+ and my model number is SM-G9287C, i also rooted my phone and installed twrp on recovery bootloader (not sure if im quite right but certainly i change my recovery bootloader to install xposed application which needs to have twrp) i also installed the framware of xposed application to get modules etc etc.
My point is that, the software update prevents me from updating and says: "The operating system on your device in an unauthorized way etc etc" i wanted to update my phone also get all the apps that i installed recently.
I would appreciate if someone will share links for me thanks ?

Samsung S7 not updating? (AT&T)

Hello XDA Community,
Ever since I got my Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930A) it hasn't gotten a OTA update. I have 4 family members with the same phone purchased the same date and they are all up to date with their software. I have tried updating it using the normal process Settings>About Device>Check for software updates and it always tells me that "Current software is up to date". There most be something wrong with my phone, is there a fix for this type of problems? My phone is currently on Android 6.0.1 Build #: MMB29M.G930AUCS2APH1. I would like to update it since I have an outdated security patch etc. I would like to gain root access but I just read that with root samsung pay can not be used, can anyone confirm this? I have rooted phones before, just haven't done it in a while. Any help, suggestions and recommendations are welcome.
Thank you in advance

Take it to a Samsung rep in Best buy, they'll updated it.
Is there anyway that I can perform the update with my PC? I see the stock ROMs available on here but they all required root. Is there any stock ROMs that don't require root?
Thank you
I went to Best buy and they updated me to QE1. They did not have QF3 yet. Whole process took 5 mins though

Download this U firmware and install using odin. It's a universal firmware for the AT&T S7 Edge, does not have any AT&T crap on it. It also doesn't have VoLTE & wifi calling, but who cares, it works just fine. I have an AT&T S7 Edge and I'm using this myself. I love it and it always get the OTA updates fast. This is the latest firmware with the January security patch. Enjoy and hope this helps. This is Android 7.0 Nougat

Everything is working on my AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge, including my GPS running the 935U firmware. By the way the firmware was just updated to G935UUES4BRC1 March security patch.

The latest firmware update is G935UUEU4BRD1 April Security Patch. I always update OTA via the software update in the setting menu and it downloads quick.

What firmware version are you on right now? If you want to go to SM-G935U then you have to start with the base of January and then update from there via OTA.

Just so there's no confusion here, no one person "updated it OTA". What you have is an official U rom which fetches updates whenever Samsung pushes them out.

If your on the U version, then go to Settings then Software Update and then tap Download Updates Manually. It should force an update. If not, download the updates from Sammobile and flash them using Odin.

Thank you! My S7 Edge ATT SM-G935A is on Marshmallow 6.0.1 now. Can I flash directly to the latest version or I need to go from the base on first and go 1-by-1 up to the latest?

Downgrade Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE

Hello guys! I would like to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to a version where I have the outdated security patch, preferably in the May 2018 version for me to play Pokémon Go. However, I downloaded a ROM of that date but when it was installed, the security patch remained the same, February 2019. I am downloading another ROM, but with the android version 7.0, but if anyone can help me in knowing what the problem is, thank you!
