I was running Nougat but after the horrible battery drain I decided to go back to Marshmallow, however obviously I want to keep ontop of the security updates provided by Google
Is there anyway to update these without having to update from Marshmallow

No, there is no way to apply security updates without updating to N. N is not causing your battery drain. Check your battery's capacity with a tool like Accubattery.

We finally received the nougat update for S7 Edge in Denmark (this means Exynos version, SM-G935F). But should I upgrade or not? I like my current version, I heard battery time is worse on nougat and so on?
Also, would it be possible for me to try nougat out and then downgrade to marshmallow if needed?
downgrade should be possible but only with custom ROM i guess Battery was good at start 7-8 hours but now I'am back to 5-6 h sot with my normal usage, and started to get some google play stops... Will try to do a factory reset because I see a lot of junk from MM like people edge, that should be removed with Nougat?
You can flash any stock rom with Odin and thus you can downgrade to Marshmallow if you like.
The battery usage is much improved in Nougat.
Recently the Android 7.1.1 update came out for the Moto x pure. If i manually flashed Android 6.0, stock and I am using a vpn, will the Android 7 update come to my phone?

No such update has been announced or come out.

If is 7.0 if this is accurate... https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/449/thread-id/19016/page/2 although it seems very limited rollout as of now.
And will you get it on VPN? Depends when your IMEI is up for it, your phone should display the notification but will need WiFi to actually download the reported 1.2GB update. The fact you're on a VPN shouldn't matter too much but it would depend on many factors.

Then it's maybe it's because I manually flashed the the stock image. And after the original 6.0 I didn't get the security update (not sure which month) which was released.
I just hope the 7.1.1 factory image is put up online, so we can flash it (just like i did with Android 6.0).

OK, stop saying 7.1.1 please (some people might get the wrong idea), it is 7.0 and that's it, no 7.0.1 or 7.1.0 or 7.1.1... and this will likely be the last upgrade we get on this device, although I do expect one more bug fix or security patch and this device will move into limbo for Motonova.
Will you get it over a VPN? We really don't know, but as far as we can tell, it isn't "really" rolling out yet, so have patience and see. Will we get the image to flash manually? Probably, but I wouldn't expect it before July... 3 months is typical before we see the factory image surface, but that's just from looking at it previous releases, it could be less, more, or never.
Hi, as the title said, is there any beginner guide for downgrading to Marshmallow? My S7 Edge is SM-G935FD, Exynos version. I've decided to downgrade it from Nougat because my battery life is horrible after I updated to the latest update. I read several threads that said they encountered problem with the vibrate motor. I don't want that to happen, obviously. Is there any solution to prevent that from happening? Thank you so much.

You can find a marshmallow rom and install it with odin but in my opinion its better to stay with nougat because the security patches and the battery will be better after some charge cycles

Actually it's been months and the battery is still horrible, so, no. And I don't plan on rooting anytime soon because my warranty is still 4-5 months left. But thanks for replying. Do you have other solution?
Is it just me or battery backup is drastically reduced in oreo (December 1 security patch) update?
I'm having the same issue, 5% drop each 10 minutes or so of stand by
Can anyone give a configuration for any kernel or anything for this problem? Pls

sad
same here, i am on full stock phone, never unlocked bootloader and because of this drain i am thinking to downgrade to nougat but i'm afraid to something go wrong in the downgrade
Wow really. I guess I shouldnt upgrade then. I'm currently on stock 7.0
I recently bought Max Pro M1 but I am not getting any updates
My current build is .316(oreo), can I manually update it to .055(pie) directly?
Dont update your phone....the first version of this phone was so good for battery and other factors....native video calling also there...if you want to update directlh just go to asus site download 1.5 GB latest update to root of your internal storage...restart your phone you will see notification for update

Oh ok thanks
About the battery and stuff, Can I update it to oreo's lastest version (. 340) without having any problems like battery drain or the other factors you mentioned above?
I won't update it to Pie as it has many bugs
I think you should avoid any upgrade even for oreo you will lose native video calling....even in recent pie update they removed widevine certi. Support from l1 to l3
