I'm on a Verizon s7 g930V running Samsung's stock firmware g930U and I've read that the phones bought through Samsung (so no carrier to go through) are getting Nougat OTA already.
I'm rooted, so it obviously gets mad if I try to check for an OTA, but should I unroot and check for a nougat OTA?
Do we know of anyone trying this successfully?
Does a Nougat Odin install package exist somewhere with "g930u" in the beginning of the filename?
Let me know if I should bother guinnea pigging on this one.
No need, I just checked and there's no update. Nothing online about it either. Seems only the international models are getting 7.0 at this time.
930/935 U is on quarterly updates. There will likely be no Nougat till April at the earliest.
so is there any possible way of running nougat on sm-g30u?
am i able to flash sm-g30f firmware on this to get nougat or is this not possible as they are different models?

The F model is the international version and it is not compatible with the US unlocked S7. You can however flash any US carrier version firmware on the the SM-G930U.
thanks, are they any known issues in smg930u like the ones i raised earlier?
seems very buggy in australia. Microphone is also recording muffled and louspeaker calls echo on my listeners end and no noise cancellation
getting frustrated with the device, network is bad, any possible way of flashing the baseband from a sm-g30F to a SM-G930U?
I need the network more reliable. Now i regret not checking the model number before buying the phone

EDIT: Neverfmind, figured it out.
I had my phone unlocked on pe1 I think by a guy with a z3x box and then updated to nougat because of boot looping issue to fix it, is it perm?, could I switch to the u on nougat or is it only a older version to older version, I read a guy went from nougat to 6.0.1 then to 6.0 on u from Sprint, and it works, just wanted a link to the g930u firmware I see be, Apr, att, t mobile, virgin mobile, unknown, do they all work fine or are they somewhat carrier specific?
Choose your option in poll below.
You could add a third option, "Don't give a damn".
Really all variants? My H870S didnt receive Oreo at all some others on 870DS and H870 EU still waiting for Oreo maybe a big change in LG politics give us android P i dont think we receive it...
Look at G4 G5 V10 V20 they only recieved only one major update and no minor updates other than security patches i think its very soon for talk about android P
I have got LS-997 model and software version is US99610f (Nougat). I want to update it to oreo since its a tempered device all sims are working globally all bands are working too, FOTA updates didn't came to this device. I wanna know that if its safe to install US oreo firmware on LS-997 ? Or not. This is the only option left since no kdz is available for sprint models.
I tried to check bootloader it says your account might get suspend, 9 Times Left bla bla ... and fastboot bootloader variable says unlocked = 'NO' .
Non Rooted Device
Thanks Indeed,

Oreo update is doable, I have one of mine on Oreo. You just can only temp root if you want, but that is flakey to do.
Did you mean US version of Oreo Or sprint version ?

Im on Sprint and in US.
My phone is working for all carriers , Question is, Installing sprint will relock my device for specifically sprint or will it remains like before flashing ?

As for carrier swapping, I am not sure, there are some other forums on here that are talking unlocking carrier after Oreo Sprint so I am sure it can be done if it happens to relock. I would double check before attempting. Here is one thread... https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/help/lg-v20-ls997-successfully-unlocked-oreo-t3835061/amp/. Don't update until read though. Just use caution.
You are Right I will share my experience soon
It looks like you have an older, rootable LS997 that has been cross-flashed to US996 Nougat firmware, essentially a Sprint V20 disguised as a US996 that is SIM-unlocked. You won't be able to install the official LS997 Oreo update until you go through the DirtySanta procedure and then flash an old Sprint Nougat ROM near the end of the process. However, after you update to Oreo this way, the phone becomes completely and irreversibly unrootable, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the DirtySanta procedure, so I highly discourage you from doing this. The Sprint firmware is not really useful for anyone who doesn't use Sprint as a carrier.
If you want Oreo or higher, you're much better off installing one of the LineageOS-based ROMs.
One thing I haven't seen anyone do on an LS997 cross-flashed to US996 is trying to flash a US996 Oreo KDZ firmware file. No idea if that works or not, but it would be quite a risk to try since there seems to be no documentation of anyone having done that before.
For more details on just about anything related to the LS997, I've written up a bunch of information here.
If you want full root don't update to Oreo if you are on a full rootable firmware still. All up to you of course. My full root is still Nougat, a Sprint ls997zv7 firmware
Yes thats what I thought exactly .. I found a forum someone did that and he flushed his imei modem completely and there is no way that he can reverse Plus Unfortunately No firmware is available too make sprint phone work again..
Bought a moto g7 phone in US and brought it to India. Jio VoLTE is not supported so using JioCall application. Now looking for alternatives. *#*#4636#*#* shows IMS status as not registered. Jio and Moto customer care executives said they can't do anything since the device is from US. Is there a way to change the IMS status?
When SIM is inserted into OnePlus 6T purchased in India itself VoLTE works fine. It is surely device compatibility issue. Can anybody please suggest a way to make the phone support Jio VoLTE? I'm even ok to root and flash it with any suggested custom ROM.
Jio VoLTE works fine on Moto G7 XT1962-6 is what I've heard. Is it possible to convert my XT1962-1 to XT1962-6 using any custom ROM or any other workaround?
