Hi guys,
I had the possibility to capture and download the 5 OTAS that have been released from NOUGAT BETA 7.0 for the Samsung S7, the files are in .bin format
Can someone tell me if there is any method to install OTAS manually?
Does anyone know the exact route where the OTAS are downloaded?
If any advanced user of the forum is interested in the packages OTA NOUGAT BETA 7.0 that I write by telegram @P3lin
Would need to know the exact model number and what update you are currently at. I am personally running Oreo 8.0 build CRD4. So far it has worked flawlessly, but I am on an S7 Active G891A. With this information I might be able to locate the files you require to update using adb method.

Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!
@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.
Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful
Regards!
Hi, my phone (G930L, Korean Exynos version), is rooted, and currently running a beta version of Nougat. I received a message both on my phone and also Samsung Switch program on my PC, that there was an update available. However, I'm unable to update both from the phone and Samsung Switch, due to being rooted.
Is there anyway I can update to the latest beta without having to flash factory stock firmware?
Thanks!
Sorry but i think you need samsung ofw for that.It won't work if you installed a rom based on touchwiz.
Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQD9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates.
Can I just download the firmware file in this thread and flash straight through ODIN, or do I need to follow another guide?
Thanks in advance
You can, however there are specific sequences to follow, so you have to update in firmware released order.
I encountered the same problem so I downloaded odin that worked for Nougat and loaded all version to BRB1 I think it is and then went to Oreo. Currently on CRC5.
Another note, when you are about to hit Oreo you will need to download the odin that works for Oreo. It can be found in the CRC5 thread.
Happy Updating

Is this really necessary?
I want to update to Oreo as well but since I'm AT&T unlocked and not currently using AT&T network I'm stuck in the June software update so I'll have to flash like 7-8 firmware updates and each one being about 2-3 GB to download.
Also, is there any stock Samsung firmware I can download so I can avoid having to manually flash every software update? Or am I just stuck with the AT&T firmware?
Thanks in advance.
I'm also having this problem. Need to flash the updates through ODIN but I can't find every single stock file leading up to BR9 on this site. Do I really have flash them all? Or is there another way?
i am new here and i am in delima as a friend of mine gave me a s7 edge and it was on android version 6.0. i tried the system update but it says the system is up to date which is not possible as oreo for s7 is already released . as this phone will be my daily driver so i want it to have stable latest oreo and i tried to install it manually but i am confused as there are so many versions of oreo for s7 edge. my model is SM-G935T and it is unlocked. i tried to find it in sites like updato but it shows different pda numbers . so what should i check in order to choose the best custome rom. does pda matter in choosing android version for an unlocked phone? help me please.

Just because there are updates available for the S7 doesn't mean that all S7 devices get the update. It depends on the original carrier/network the device was distributed by and whether they pushed the update to the S7 devices on their network.
You can try manually downloading the update and then flash it via Odin. To find the updates for your device, go to Sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com, then use your devices model number to find the list of stock firmware for your device. Find the newest version for your region.

If your device is rooted or if you have TWRP installed, you can't apply the update via OTA
If you want to update via OTA, you will have to unroot your device and undo any changes that you made to the system partition and you will have to replace TWRP with a copy of your stock recovery. Then you can apply the update. You will have to root and install TWRP again after the update is applied.
Or, you can manually download the update from the internet and then use a PC to manually flash via your device's compatible flashtool or via fastboot(whichever is intended to flash firmware on your device).

Good Morning Everyone,
@Droidriven, thanks for your kind response, but I did what you suggest, re-install Nougat Rom from Htc official link deliberately did not root it at first, click on the OTA & yet, got same complain.
I even tried 2.41.401.41--3.16.401.2_S-On_firmware.zip with it but doesn't still work.
But from my research, this is what I found out that works..
* The Phone (HTC 10) is Hong Kong Unlocked Version with build number 2.41.401.4, [email protected] as its base band.
the ROM that will work must share same details with the one provided above.
Anyone that has Oreo 8.0 (2.41.401.4) Update in RUU file format, should Please kindly share its download link with me, I regret the inconveniences, thanks in advance.
