Is there a way to reconnect to Android 7 Beta? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I was accepted on the official Beta and installed Nougat on my G7
Due to some issues I did a hard reset and in the process seem to have been 'deregistered' from the Beta. Opening the Beta app shows a 'Register' link in the 'more' menu and pressing that says the Beta is fully subscribed; on the bottom of that screen there is a 'Register' link as opposed to 'Derisgister' that was originally there.
So it seems I am stuck on the version of A7 that is on the device- Software Update says I have the latest version.
Is there a way to re-enable the Beta registration as I was on it initially?

You need to flash latest BTU and if you registered before it should be okay because it's linked on your sammy account.
So after flashing and login you should receive a update.

Thanks Johnny, but the problem seems to be that I have become 'unregistered' so if I return to the Android 6 BTU I won't get the A7 update.
Think I'll just have to wait it out!

IF you flash manually via Odin without being able to register, do you get updates of the betas via OTA even if you aren't registered in the beta?

Nope, OTA only if you are registered

One thing i noted is that phone is much more snappy afterward. maybe it's because of the cache rebuild that every build do or maybe there is some secret ingredient added in this update.
Very surprised to see another update from AT&T for the G2. I wonder if there's any chance of seeing 5.1.1 or 6.0.
Does this mess with root?

You can't update with root, at least I haven't been able to.
When updating it will just kick you back to the home screen with a message telling you, you're suspected of rooting and updates are not supported for rooted devices.
I also tried the method discribed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/general/links-manually-forcing-ota-20c-to-20u-t2828874 to force an update but I was unable to succeed
I'm waiting for dlpkgfile to update
How does one make this file root friendly? Wouldn't mind taking the time to do this.

i think thats the answer for no 5.1.1 i dont see why leave g2 at lollipop if its has bugs.. since they fix the stagefright on 5.1.1. so we need it 5.1.1 to get rid of this bug but aparently with this update theres no need to update to 5.1.1 but does this still have the memory leak bug?

The last command appears to force a package on the phone to start the update process without (or possibly after) a check for root, however when I run the command the nothing appears to happen making me think that the original Lollipop update(30f) either nerfed the command to prevent this kind of thing from happening, or they replaced the package with a new one for the 5.x iterations of Android. so it is a matter of waiting for people smarter than me to find out how to force the updates in the Lollipop update
TL;DR: yup I agree with you
Is there no way to unroot, install this update and then root again?
Negative

As far as I know you can't unroot a device. The way I'm doing it is reinstalling the original KK, then going trough the process of updating till the lastest update then rooting again.
I do hope someone could come up with way to install the latest update on rooted.
That did come to my mind but I felt it's just too much of a pain going that far back for a patch!
Can you people provide me the "D80030F" lollipop OTA Package file... i can not download it from any where all links says file is deleted or not available

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Nougat Beta Program

So how many of you got into the program. Was recently announced that Samsung will be letting users beta test Nougat on the S7 and S7 Edge. Will go live on Nov 9th!
Where can I download the app? Tried to search it at samsung app store and couldn't find it

An error has occured on this service.
Its giving me the error wat shud i do????
Careful!
They might update the bootloader again preventing the engineering kernel from being used thus no root.
Install Nougat and you might be stuck. At least for a while.
I wonder if you could talk them into root access for advanced debugging... Or it could be a massive social engineering attack on the S7 power users... Regular Joe's won't sign up for this.. Only the ones whom seek root... And I can see this update havins some sort of "kill switch" in it to remotely kill the kernel if it is altered from original code that is paired to the imei or some other hard coded descriptor.. That is all it would take for a permbanhammer..... So I see Samsung "offering up beta Nougat to test" when it wipes out the rooting problem before the **** is released. OR... It is going to have Windows 10 level tracking in it that literally records and sends all you do back to Samsung.. I would be interested to see pcap info from the device on a network. Samsung is just watching all the steps the SU's take to breach root at the kernel level and allows it to happen, while they are at shop fixing the **** in real time....
It's what I would do.... If I were a square...

Almost certainly. But would the eng_boot even work? Does nougat not run a different kernel revision?

Very unlikely the kernel would work.
So you'll have to choose either root or Android 7.

Server error here as well. I imagine they are spreading things out to ease server load.

Just registered to. Wondering though If this is just to assemble a waiting list for later or if they actually plan to start updating devices today or tomorrow.

are you guys on official Tmobile firmware or the unlock firmware. I'm on the unlocked firmware and getting server error.

I switched from the U version for this reason exactly. We were all getting the server error, but I do not think it will be available to install on the U firmware.
I am on official Tmobile software and got registered. I have not seen a download yet though.
It says to: Click the "Software Update" menu, setting > Device Information > Download Updates
But I am not seeing that functionality yet. It looks like the app will get a server side update that will setup a few new items, like: Error reports menu, Suggestion Menu, and a Download Menu.

How can I get nougat on my NXT-L09C636B191? Firmware finder app doesn't work.

Just trying to somehow get nougat without rooting or anything. Firmware finder shows an OTA available for L09C636B593 but I can't get it to go into updater.
This is a good question because I'm in the same boat
same to you

About the only way I've seen so far, is to load twrp, screw around with other files, load a custom rom.
Until the rom shows up via the stock updater, or, the firmware finder app shows something that says
FULL and not OTA or FullOTA, you and the rest of us are stuck until Huawei officially releases it.
It's not that bad of a deal though, 6 for me anyway is VERY stable.
I agree it's stable but one of the reasons I bought a huawei phone was they are supposed to be the first to update to new versions and here I am still waiting. I thought Samsung was bad but guess what the s7 is already on android 7 and I'm not.
I think I'll be going back to Samsung soon as the note 8 comes out.

from L09C636b210 you can update via Firmware Finder to L09C636b521. Then go to System Update and you will see L09C636b563 update available. I recommend DOWNLOAD LATEST FULL PACKAGE from the pull down menu.
The update came for me, but not through firmware finder. Mine came through the built in update program
in the phone.
Mine was L29C185B180, then I got 321 through firmware finder, but it never would update. When I saw someone
post that 560 came through, I tried firmware finder, never had anything, but when I checked the Huawei update
app and it showed up.
I uninstalled the firmware finder app. Nice idea, but didn't work for me.

UK Updates

Hi. I got an Honor 9 through Three in the UK approx 3 months ago. It came unbranded and is currently on C432B100. Has anyone in the UK received any updates since getting their phone via OTA. I have already questioned this through HiCare chat and they have stated that there are some security updates coming soon. I previously had a P9 which never received an update in the 2 years I had it. Live chat also said that the updates are done in batches but i doubt there are that many Honor 9's in the UK to receive updates that warrant it to be put in batches.
Im stuck in the same situation, still on B100 firmware, with, what seems like no hope of any updates, im waiting on official oreo, as from what i have read, huawei already has the correct partitions for project treble, and someone has got oreo treble working on a mate 9, which has the kirin 960, and i think someone else got it booted on an honor 9.
i guess its just a waiting game for now. oreo is in beta, so i expect an official update soon.
Just use the firmware finder app to spoof updates to your device. I used this and am now on B180 working fine.
do the capacative buttons work on B180?

Ive got firmware finder installed, and can download the latest firmware, i'm assuming i need to then flash the zip with TWRP, only problem ive got is that I don't have a microSD card.
unless you can perform a 'fake' OTA with the firmware finder app?
It also says that the firmware is not approved for installation when I check access
i've found a B180 firmware on ff and used the in app proxy to install but got an unstable network message after 65% which then reset to 0. Am i doing anything wrong?
This is a bug in firmwarefinder, happens to me also sometimes. also you guys dont need a custom recovery, leave everything stock, bootloader locked and frp and the HWFF update can still be done. When unstable network message occurs for me it always helped to stop the HWFF proxy and restart it, then when everything is downloading well i leave the phone alone till 100%. Then update starts in the same way as OTA directly out of settings menu. No need for recovery, sd cards etc. Only make sure that you get the FULL OTA package and proof your imei first. If its not approved the huawei check wont verify the firmware and the installation will fail (without consequences).
approved firmwares are B120, B150 and B180 as far as i have checked myself. For the other ones i think the best is to install the nocheck_recovery
Hello
You can use also Funky Huawei. However, it is not free. But, it works fine.
Do tools like funkyhuawei and dc-unlocker execute more sophisticated code than you can do yourself?
Hi. Just updated to B180 via FF proxy. Had trouble getting it to download via WiFi so used my mobile data and worked perfectly.
I finally got it to work, successfully on b180 now, don't see why b181 etc.. is listed as they are not approved for install

It just lists all of the firmwares that are available for the model. There is a seperate check whether they have been approved for install.
I think the proxy in FF is only to trigger the download. I always shut it down straight after the download starts.

Ok, I think not.
See demo: https://youtu.be/pt5pWPhcsW4
There's a short pause when you shut it down, but it resumes quickly afterwards on your standard connection.
Of course, there is nothing wrong keeping the proxy on during the download.
An update for people on B100 in the UK. I updated the other week to B180 via FF proxy. I received the OTA for B182 just now and everything working fine. So at least it still receives updates. One further mention, I previously had a p9 before my honor 9 and across almost 3 years this is the first update I have ever received. It makes.you wonder how bothered Huawei are about their phone updates.

Thanks, I've started the download of the 3GB update file with the proxy then removed the proxy and it has continued. Downloading over a 4G hotspot so might take a bit of time. Hopefully I'll be updated soon and hopfully Three UK allow VoLTE for this handset.

Question Q: What to do with ATT Snapdragon SM-S908 stuck on OneUI 5.0 beta 1? (Re-enable OTA)

Essentially I'm in a pickle and I'm currently running OneUI 5.0 beta 1 on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra ATT locked device (SM-S908U) and I sideloaded the .bin for the official SMS908U beta build and it flashed and wiped everything and works fine. Except ONEUI 5 stable is coming out soon and I have tried Odin flashing several builds of Android 12 OneUI 4.1, I have tried Samsung Smart Switch emergency initialization (which doesn't show my device after failing to post the update), I went to Samsung Members but it says something about changed country info or not being in the Beta, but once I go to the open card to actually enroll for the beta, it says I'm already on it because it thinks since I have it at all its legit but it doesn't talk to the same exact framework of the app to find out if I need to officially enroll still. Either way I cannot opt out via Members either, I am fairly stuck. Any advice ?
*I do not have any backups from Android 12 stable.
You tried flashing official firmware for U device right? You were using CSC file or HOME_CSC to preserve data?
Going back from beta to stable means wiping data, phone will factory reset when you flash back the stable firmware and you should use the CSC file (not HOME_CSC)
Yeah... I know how to operate Odin3... It literally says right there I tried flashing multiple stable builds and each time it fails with AUTH error. Tried HOME and regular CSC....
I have the same phone. I have not gone back to stock U firmware from beta. But I have gone from beta to stock U1 firmware. I believe once you go back to stock U1 Android 12. You can flash back with Odin not patched to U firmware.
