I don't think having Marshmallow or Nougat shouldn't matter. I think your phone has a snapdragon on it so unless the snapdragon's root method has changed, you will just flash the rooted G935U rom and it will get updated anyways.

Shouldn't matter. Whether in snapdragon or Exynos. There are numerous benefits of nougat, even moreover with Oreo, which is expected to be updated sometime between the 3d quarter.

No reason to say mm,nougat is far better than mm,and oreo is better than nougat

Just a security update that's all. Nothing more.

The size of the update (just over 100mb) is the thing to look at. A full system software update will be around 800mb or more
Im beginning to have doubts we will see nougat

Root, yes, bootloader, no. Me and a few people on the auto initroot thread are working on it.
So is it possible yet to root 6.0.1 and or unlock the boot loader for either 5.1.1 or 6.0.1?
I've been on 5.1.1 since the phone was released and since the new lg g6 is coming I might be moving to that if tgis phone isnt still rootable.
Thanks for letting me know!
Oh and im talkimg about the s6 edge plus at&t g928a.
I read something about an engboot?
This phone has had root for a long time now.
5.1.1, 6.0.1 and even the dev release of 7.0.
I'm not sure if the AT&T version is though.

Can You confirm that S6E+ has NOT received Android 8 Oreo?
Can You confirm that S6E+ latest security patch was from January 2019? If not from when?

and for example for S7E that has Oreo + Samsung exp. is it possible to goo all the way back to original 6.0.1 cause I've heard that it may not be possible due to the fact that Android 6 has bootloader version 1 in Odin and since Nougat it has different version and if that happens you supposudly cant roll back bootloaders on samsung stocks
?
My friends Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930A sounds worse on 8.0 than it did on 7.0, he seems to think so we need to downgrade to 7.0 again. Is that possible?
Thanks

afaik that's only possible when they use the same bootloader.
That means if the bootloader was changed while upgrading to 8 it may not be possible.
While using Odin it will tell you if flashing will work or not.
I would download both stocks and compare the BL... files if comparison is not answered somewhere in XDA.
It downgraded without an issue & upgraded again without an issue since my friend cannot make up his mind if he thinks 7.0 is worse or better than 8.0. Anyway it all worked out.
