Why didnt my phone get nougat?

I recently bought my s7 edge directly from the samsung website at&t version and got it unlocked to be used on the tmobile network. I tried updating the phone to nougat but at&t software update would say that I am on the latest software which was 6.0.1. I even used a working at&t sim card because I thought maybe you need to be on their network but still it gave me the same thing. Finally I just used odin to update to nougat but I wanted to know if anyone knows why I was not able to update ota?

You are on the international version if you bought it directly from Samsung. They haven't released the international N for the S7 Edge. I know this is frustrating but you aren't the only one. If you can put up with ATTs bloat then go flash the Odin files, they have been released for ATT.

Downgrade From Nougat to Marshmallow on SM-G930A (AT&T Galaxy S7)

My SM-G930A automatically updated from Marshmallow to Nougat and it continues to automatically install updates without my consent (I loved Marshmallow). I've been looking around on the forums here for days and from what I've seen, you can't downgrade firmware on a phone with a locked bootloader such as the SM-G930A running on AT&T's network. All I am trying to do is run Marshmallow and prevent my phone from ever updating out of it. Can this be done? If it is impossible with a SM-G930A, could it at least be done with a SM-G930U, while still utilizing AT&T as my service provider? Thanks.
To whoever answers this: I owe you my life.

Can anyone answer this? Plz halp.

Just Odin pk1 and disable the fw update packages

what are the benefits in keeping the phone to marshmallow ? sorry but a bit confused

AT&T S8+ won't update after unlock and carrier switch

Sorry guys, complete amateur here. I have an AT&T S8+ that was unlocked using a code from AT&T.
I switched to T-Mobile and my phone worked perfectly after simply inserting a T-Mobile sim.
Carriers push updates over the air and I assumed I would have put in an AT&T sim to get the oreo update, but it's been out forever and I have not been able to update my phone. I've been busy and never got around to it. My phone was working fine so I just it slide.
I've tried using an AT&T sim. I've restarted my phone with the AT&T sim in it. I've tried manually searching for the update. I've tried smart switch. I even went to the Samsung experience store in NYC and they had no solution. My phone will not update.
Any suggestions?
SM-G955U
Android Version 7.0
Android security patch level April 1st, 2017
Baseband - G955USQU1AQDE
I've been reading some of these threads and I'm not sure if this is correct, but I can use Odin 3.13.1 to flash to CRB9? That would get me to the first Oreo release?
Sorry if this is not the correct place for this thread. Thanks

Switching firmware for SM-G975U (need advice)

Hi guys, need some advice on S10+.
I'm from an Asia country and last year I bought a new S10+ from a online seller which does grey imports for mobile phones, because I want a Snapdragon version over the Exynos, which is what most Asia countries get.
The Model number (SM-975U) and Baseband version (G975USQS3CTB6) are indicating this is a US variant but I can't tell which carrier it is because there is no carrier logo on the phone or when I turn on the phone, no bloatwares as well.
The only down side is this Baseband/carrier does not have updates since March 2020. I tried checking for updates but got nothing.
What I try to get:
1. Latest original firmware which will continue to update itself (hopefully)
2. No carrier bloatware
3. No need root or custom roms (Doesnt go well with banking apps)
I have experience rooting and flashing custom firmware on my previous Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but I can't remember if I have done unlocking bootloader before, lol.
Need advice on:
1. Which firmware should I choose?
2. I remember XDA forums used to have useful Guide under Sticky Threads but now I don't see it. I hope this guide will be able to help me with what I am trying to do.
3. I probably sound stupid here, is there any flashable settings file that is friendly to Asian region/telco? I am noticing a bit of network weakness on my phone, I hope its just me.
Thanks to anyone who reads this.

You've aquired the US Unlocked Snapdragon variant, it's not associated with any US carrier and it's not bootloader unlocked. Flashing updated FW is likely your best bet, it's available here.

The only other option for an update is Samsung's SmartSwitch. Whether or not it's compatible depends on your local service provider.

Where can I find At&t Official Android 11 Rom?

I have the Tab A 8.4" At&t variant but no LTE service on it. It came with stock Android 9 and Android 11 is out for it, but since I have no service, I can't trigger the update OTA. Anyone know if there is an Official Stock Rom for it that I can flash?

So I have At&t Unlimited Elite and I tried this just for fun. I took my SIM out of my phone and put it into the tablet. Well it has service from At&t but can't trigger the update, still keeps saying already up to date on Android 9.
