Two days ago, I downloaded the Device Update Support Tool 1.2 from the Official Samsumg site (Omnia 7, support --> software).
Currently I am running NoDo, not jailbroken etc.
Every time I go into download mode, and connect to the device update tool, it tells me there is a binary update available. Is this the patch they released to let Omnia 7 users update to NoDo? Is that why it tells me everytime I connect that there is a binary update available (since I already have NoDo, I didn't install any patch or something).
Share your thoughts!
same for me........what can i do ?
I have no idea what the binary update implies, but I sorta guess it's the patch released to let users update to NoDo.
First thing this morning, my phone insisted on a password instead of fingerprint for "first attempt after restart". But the Status page shows that the phone has been running for more than 600 hours, and I'm still on API2, Sept. 1 security update. But the Update page has a greyed-out "Continue update". When I click on Software Update, it says up-to-date and tells me as usual that I have to wait a few hours to check again (until 24 hours after my last manual attempt, which also said up-to-date).
The Continue Update is typically greyed out when an update hasn't already been downloaded, so you probably didn't have a failed update. I'm just getting a little upset that the October update is taking so long. Just saw this morning that the Nexus phones are already getting their November update...

My device started the update this morning, it ran in around 253mb, so I would guess its a minor update. I haven't let it finish, I want to give the 935U a run
Got it now:

I got the update. They sneaked in Fullscreen app.
I manually checked for the update and got it just now. It's so irritating that ATT takes so long to release these updates to us!

Over 200MB ... should be more then just security update. Security update is usually something around 40-60MB

There have been 4 OTA updates, not including the Nougat update, since I last received one. The last update I received was in July (baseband version G930AUCU2APG1.) It isn't rooted but it's encrypted. It says everything is up to date when I check for updates on the phone. AT&T tried to push an update last night and they told me they were unable to contact my phone. I tried wiping it and checking for updates but that didn't work either. Is there a way to manually install these updates?

Download the Odin pk1 files and flash with odin. After that you should be able to take the nougat update. I'm not sure if you have to decrypt your phone though or not to Odin
So I've been using 6.0.1 since I got this phone last year. I rooted it pretty much immediately, but then Samsung pushed out one of their security patches, which basically "bricked" the software. Whenever I try to update the phone, I get a fine:
The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center

Basically I rooted my phone, so OTA updates aren't available.
Apparently the new Nougat update is now live in Denmark, so I really want to update my phone, but I don't want to lose my apps, documents, images, and so on. I basically want to do an update, just like I never rooted my phone. I don't care about keeping my root.
How do I go on about this? I just want to "remove my root" and do an OTA update to get Nougat the most legit way possible.
Thanks!
EDIT: I should probably also say, that when I open SuperSU, I get a:
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem

Since that security update from Samsung last summer, my root magically disappeared, but it's still there apparently.
Just received off eBay a G6 H872 with ver. 7.0. I am running it on a AT&T mvno. The thing it has all the Tmobile stuff, before I could disable automatic checks it downloaded an update which I believe is ver. 8.0. Alert says touch to restart and complete update. I first want to get down the process to root before upgrading, and because of anti rolll back, yada yada I obviously don't want it to update.
Is it possible to delete the downloaded update?
If the phone restarts for any reason at all is the update gonna get installed, or doe the update only run if you select to restart from the update notification?
