S6 won't check for updates - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since receiving initial marshmallow update someday in April, my phone refuses to update itself. 1) it will not check for updates no matter what I try. Pressing the "search for updates" button in the settings does absolutely nothing. It still shows last checked in april. 2) Smart Switch recognizes an update starts preparing it and when it gets the preparing to 100% it'll just disappear and show the main screen, but it wont take any user input anymore. left it like that for 4 hours, nothing happened. I closed and reopened Smart Switch, exactly the same result. Reinstalled Smart Switch, still no results. Can someone help me? I do not have the time to do a factory reset and set up everything again. Phone is not rooted or modified in any way, and never was. Is it possible to update it with odin without a full wipe? If so, can someone point me at some kind of instructions? Never had a Samsung before. Thanks in advance.

Install samsung phone info. Check which csc the phone is.
Find the firmware of the same csc in sammobile. Try to download using samsung firmware downloader, it's fast. Find the latest odin(i think 3.1x). Link the firmware in AP then flash it.

I have already downloaded the firmware, code is XEO. It's just that I don't know Odin well, and I don't want to accidentally wipe my data. Will it wipe the phone I just link the fw in AP, or will it be okay?

It won't wipe you data. However after flashing in case it stuck at bootanimation(samsung logo), you might need to do factory reset. In most cases no problem.

Gear S2 fails to update

I have just bought my S2 today, and got it connected to my phone, which was no bother. I then realised that there was an update for the actual Gear, not the app (since the app is already updated to the latest version). I go through all of the steps, downloading all of the packages, then copying them over to the Gear, Then I press the install button, saying your gear will reset etc. The Gear S2 resets and begins the update, and when it gets to 13%, it shuts down and restarts.
When pairing back up with my phone a message appears saying 'Software update failed. Visit a Samsung service centre'.
I have factory reset the Gear S2 and re-installed the Gear App on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, and still having the same problems.
sorry to hear that... didnt happen to me ..
What about sending it for repair... if the factory reset didnt help, so i have no suggestion in my mind so far
Check the build number. Both mine did that bit the update actually installed anyway

The last SW release is (R732XXU2BOL6)... I am not sure if your update succeeded..
Maybe sth is wrong with your firmware. Go to service they flash a new one and maybe this will help.
I get the same error after 13% ...any help from anyone would be appreciated
Did you solve that problem ? I 've got the same problem. But it fails after %18
Any update... vzw gear s2... update gear... registration failed

Does the problem remain unsolved?
Just tried again and it failed at 15% again. At least they are consistent.
I am having this same issue...was anyone able to resolve this??
I tried more than 20 times until it was fully downloaded. Very irritating. Many times download ended at more than 65%. Jut try again and again.
I'm still stuck at 2%. Also I just moved to Canada and they won't fix my Australian watch.... So. Stuck.
Is there a way to flash an old version of the firmware and then trying to update from there?
(Please note: I have factory reset a bazillion times, to no avail.)
I'm having the same problem. I have an SM-R732 (non cellular) running firmware version R732XXU2CPC5. I get the notification in the Gear Manager app that there is an update available, but every time I try to install it it fails at 4%. I've soft reset, factory reset, and took it to the Samsung Experience location on Washington St in NYC. They tried to do the update from a Galaxy S7 and got the same result. I really don't want to have to send this out to be fixed and be without a watch for 4-6 weeks. I'll probably just deal with it if there is no way around this.
Same problem here. Stuck at 17% and rebooting again and again...
Same problem here... it goes up to 17% and reboots...
Any thoughts?

Galaxy S7 restarts randomly!

Hey, XDA-ers!
I got the Android Nougat 7.0 update for my Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD (DUOS) back in January if I remember correctly. And the update process went like how it normally does. But ever since I got the Nougat update, my phone restarts randomly for no reason. At first it used to restart when I click on the 'Recent Apps' button to switch between apps. When I tap on the button, the phone vibrates and restarts. The phone never over heated before this happens. During this, the phone used to restart 2-3 times a day. This went on for 2 months. Then now, the number of restarts reduced to 1-2 per day, but the problem still persists. And now, it restarts even when I don't touch the 'Recent Apps' button. So, if any of you has had a similar experience or if any of you could help me out Please share it here. It would be GREAT!
Also just one more thing- Any of you seen any DRASTIC or worse changes in battery life of your Galaxy S7 after the Android Nougat 7.0 update? Please share your thoughts here and do suggest how you solved the problem. (My battery drains so fast that I sometimes charge it twice a day. I don't even use my phone for half of the day because I'll be at school and still the battery drain is bad! )
Factory reset. Backup your data via kies and then reset it.
Change your battery
What firmware version are you running? There's at least one version of Nougat that has issues with this

Hmm... and after the factory reset with no apps installed you are still rebooting?
Why dont you try to reflash your firmware via odin.
Download it from sammobile and reflash it.

Possibly. I can vouch for it being fixed on DQCF onwards, which is newer than DQC4. The temporary fix seems to be to use as little RAM as possible(try to cut down on background apps until the next update). That firmware isn't terribly old though. I would actually agree with trying a reflash first.

I think it is also possible to reinstall the same firmware with Smart Switch from the menu "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialisation". It's like Odin but much simpler especially for beginners. As for me, I am still in DQBO and I await the update DQD7 which is beginning to be deployed in some countries. If this is not going to solve the problem, I will try to reinstall the fimware with Smart Switch. What do you think ?

If it's restarting due to the firmware bug then DQD7 will most definitely fix it. Beware of the emergency recovery though. Ive not used Smart Switch but the "initialization" part sounds like it would wipe the device, though that could fix any issues. Backup first, if you can.

Issues with 2CQL1 build - Help!!

So I've "successfully" updated to v8.0 using the above method. I'm currently on build 2CQL1. I updated from AQH7 to 2BQJA and then to CRA4 using the Samsung Firmware Science downloads. My phone is stock AT&T (not unlocked), and is not rooted. When going to CRA4, I encountered a pretty significant error which continues to plague me. I've searched through the forums and haven't read anything on similar to this issue. I cannot use Always on Display. It has to be turned off, and..I cannot take the update in Google play for the Always on Display app. If I try and take the update, the phone goes into this weird state: Screen dark except for the edge indicator. Phone will vibrate three times, but screen will remain dark. Only options I have is to try and restart or turn off. I was able to get into the recovery menu, and do a reset to factory settings. However, upon doing that I noticed that I was running build 2CQL1. After doing this a couple of times, I finally figured it out it was the AOD that was giving me issues. So I disabled it in the phone settings, and will not take the update in Google Play.
Update: Now, I'm getting the vibrations randomly, even with AOD turned off. The phone is still functional, but I fear I may have to reboot and do a reset at any moment.
Anybody have any thoughts on how I can get back to a stock version of ATT software? Again, I don't need to root or even unlock my phone. Just looking for the stock software so I can have a functional device.
Thanks in advance

This is all set. I downloaded the latest official AT&T update, and installed using ODIN. Thanks to everyone for the assistance. It had been a while since I had done anything like that. Back to the Samsung Infuse days.

Galaxy S7 bootlooping after OTA update. I have ADB access but need help/ideas.

Hi Obi Wans, you are my last hope.
Just before I went to bed last night I accidentally put my fat finger 2mm on the wrong spot and Samsung thought it was an excellent idea to start the waiting upgrade. After the first reboot the S7 just wont get past the "glowing" Samsung logo.
Situation:
Bootlooping. Black screen with glowing white Samsung logo. Led is glowing in blue in sync with the logo on the screen.
Phone does not restart / reboot. It is stuck in above mentioned situation.
Still on Nougat. Update was Nougat to Nougat. I use to be a couple of updates behind. I think last update I did was in Feb/Mar.
Hot A F. While not connected to anything but running the Samsung logo it is hot as F. Burning hot. I guess the CPU / Memory is working hard with something but I have no clue what that could be.
Can reboot and go into eiither Recovery Mode or Download Mode.
Wishlist (in priority order):
Get phone to boot up perfectly with no data loss or triggered Knox.
Get phone to boot up perfectly with no data loss but with triggered Knox.
Get access to files and / or opportunity to backup apps / settings / data in Internal memory.
I would really prefer not to trigger Knox. I'll do it if there is no other option and if it is possible to get access to the phone with unharmed configs or at least get data from the phone.
I thought I was smart when I set up ADB a couple of weeks ago. ADB access during bootup is working and the keys are in place.
Information I currently have:
Model No: SM-G930F
CPU Eyxnos
"NEE" / Nordic version.
Unlocked from day 1.
Never rooted or had any non stock roms.
Serial No: (Is there any risk related to put this on internet?)
Logcat log saved to my PC (Is there any risk related to put this on internet?)
Tools I have at my disposal:
ADB access that has been working ok during the night and morning. It is somewhat flaky because it seems like while I have access during Samsung glows the connection seems to break and I have to connect with f x adb shell again.
PC with both Ubuntu, Windows 7 and Windows 10. I could probably install XP if that would be of any help at all.
Another identical Samsung Galaxy S7. Friend gave it to me since screen was broken. Samsung fixed screen. Empty because Factory reset.
100Mbps internet connection.
What I have tried this far:
Rebooting (a thousand times)
Wipe Cache partition from Recovery Mode (vol up + home + power).
Shut down from Recovery Mode menu and then turning on with power button.
Mount /system (yeah, knew it wouldn't fix anything. Just wanted to see that /system was mountable.)
Tried flashing in "HOME_CSC_NEE_G930FNEE2DRB5_.....tar.md5" with Odin. (downloaded the exact version ADB reports when checking dmesg and / or logcat from sammobile). I read that this could help getting out of bootloop. Important was to use "HOME" and not the other CSC if you wanted to keep phone from going Factory Reset.
Anyone got ideas?
Edit 1: I have connected the phone and am running a logcat, dumpsys and a cat of all "files" under /proc to text-files on my pc.
When checking logcat it looks almost like it has tons of work to do but really never gets finished with the upgrade?
hmmm, get into download mode, reflash with Odin the exact firmware you had before the upgrade, using home CSC, and all the others of course, co, black, ap see if that sort that out
give it a try, and let us know what happens

PDA Version: G930FXXU2DRC6
CSC Version: G930FNEE2DRB5
The only thing that makes me go "hmmmmm" is the BL. Is that the Boot Loader?
yes, bl is bootloader
don't worry, it should work, home_csc remember put all the others in the right place all 4 at the same time

Ok. Ran it and it was done in like secs (no way it pumped 4GB image over USB that quick). Then it went to blue screen claiming erase and patching... and then reboot and here we are... Glowing Samsung Logo.
The blue firmware update screen, what exactly is it updating? Small code that handles firmware upgrade of low level stuff like bootloader?
ok 2DRC6 is the 28.03.18 release
the previous one to that one is
2BRB6 from 13.03.18 both have modem version 2
previous to those ones are v1 so you won't be able to downgrade to them
so download 2BRB6 and flash the 4 files together and see how it goes

which Odin version are you using?

1. I made a stupid mistake the first time I flashed (after getting your advice) and specified all 4 files in Odin but clicked all but AP and flashed. I didn't see that until I hade written that it was way to fast to have transferred 4GB AP file. When I found out I ran the flash again. This time with all boxes clicked.

It's early morning here now. GOtta get 3 hours of sleep. Will try this in a couple of hours.
Day 2 - Still no positive news
Ok. Reflashing with the firmware i found on Sammobile did not solve the problem. Just did it with all files (home csc and not csc) without luck. Thanks wegiwegi for having the energy and time to help me with this.
Current status
I have ADB access on and off but not fully since the phone is not all the way up f x and running package manager.
Since ADB is disconnected now and then getting logs at bootup is a bit hard.
Questions to anyone reading this:
I would like to get my hands on logswhich shows me everything that happens from the beginning of bootup all the way to a crash / reboot so thatI can see at what point the phone crashes / reboots.
Anyone got any better idea than Odin reflash existing
If I were to flash a bootloader with capability to read / export Internal "SDCard" to my inserted SDCard, would this wipe user data and data / settings is lost?
run out of ideas, hope someone can come with a solution for you, sure the devil is on the detail somewhere, good luck

Hello mindlight,
have you solved the situation?
I'm in exactly the same situation as you after updating my Galaxy S7 SM-G930F with official stock firmware using OTA from G930FXXU2ERGE (Security Patch Level 2018-07-01) to G930FXXS2ERH6 (Security Patch Level 2018-08-01) - both Android 8 Oreo. It was just a small security update about 30 MB in size. After the update I'm stuck with:
led is glowing in blue in sync with the logo SAMSUNG on the screen blinking
phone becomes hot quickly
sometimes I get Optimizing apps dialog after which it restarts and gets back to blinking SAMSUNG logo
What I have tried so far:
wiping cache from recovery mode
flashing G930FXXS2ERH6 firmware (the newer) using Odin (AP, BL, CP, HOME_CSC)
flashing G930FXXU2ERGE firmware (the older) using Odin (AP, BL, CP, HOME_CSC)
But nothing helped. Is there anything else I can do to get it working without losing data or at least back up the data before factory reset? It's still in warranty so I can bring it to the service and they fix it - but of course they wipe all my data.
I tried to remember what I could have done so the update didn't end well (if it is my fault at all). The only thing I can imagine is using QuickShortcutMaker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en) to create a link to hidden settings activity in which I could enable/disable access to mobile data/WiFi data for every application. I did some changes in this activity and it crashed often.
Thank you
Hi Necik,
No. I actually never solved the issue.
I did remember that I blocked a lot of rights in bundled Samsung apps and hid the ones that it was impossible to uninstall.
I suspect my issues are related to that.
I have also let my S7 stay connected to the charger for like 5 days in a row and it never gets by the state you describe.
I have ADB connection that works and I can retrieve logs but while I can find the words "error" and "fail" in the logs I am not able to make out what errors are critical and which are just errors that are normal and skipped.
I was in luck though because I had two S7's so I am currently using the other one while looking for a solution.
So, if you find out how to solve it or if you "solve" it with a Factory Reset, which I haven't done since I have data on mine that I want to keep, please let me know here.
If I solve it myself I will report back here.

Yes, I did the same - and also for some Google apps. Maybe this is the culprit. But everything I did was done using publicly available settings in the phone (no hacking using adb etc.) so I would expect this should not brick the phone. Except using the hidden activity I mentioned in my previous post.
In the meantime I returned to my still functioning Nokia 6310 . But I guess it won't suffice for a long time.

Hello, I have given up. Flashed CSC instead of HOME_CSC, that made factory reset (contents of internal storage all gone). After that phone booted normally and I had to set everything again, like a new phone from shop.

Go HERE download N950USQS5CRK1 and Odin3_v3.13.3b
I'd completely recommend creating a backup and NOT do a dirty flash. Allow the device to do a factory reset.
Don't mess with the Update.zip method, it's not worth the time.
so i downloaded it started odin, put in bl, ap, cp, and CSC_OYN in the fields and put phone into download mode (volume down, bixby, and power) it did its thing was sucessful then phone rebooted saying android update it got to about 32% and said error and brought me to bootloaded screen with some writing at bottom or whatever. i did reboot now after that, and it booted into android and was updated. Only thing is it never formatted my phone and all my stuff is still on there. does it sound right or did i messup somewhere

It sounds about right, I have seen it fail at 32% before. I'd double check in your Settings to make sure you're on CRK1, but if it's working ok, no harm no foul. IF your phone starts doing odd stuff, or apps are FC'ing, I'd hop into Recovery and do a Factory reset

Ya it says baseband crk1. Everything seems about the same on phone though except the about phone settings menu is a little diffrent. Now is this the newest Ota update or did they release pie for it yet?

Sounds like AT&T did send out an OTA to CRL1, but I haven't been able to get the Odin files for it yet. Pie isn't probably going to hit until March-ish, I've only seen the DRL5, 6 and 7 leaks and even those have stopped. We COULD see AT&T do some beta releases, but we just don't know right now.
