Nvidia god damn Shield tablet lte at&t

So, Nvidia has final re released marshmallow for k1, thanks to at&t tho, the lte model still hasn't been pushed through. What the hell at&t? So I have to do a bunch of crap to get the update unofficially, (root, unlock bootloader etc.) I feel like I shouldn't have to do all this just to receive an update that should have been here already. The only reason this makes me angry it's because my Shield tablet is having touch screen issues out of nowhere and I'm hoping the new marshmallow update will fix this. I swear, I'm never getting a carrier branded device ever again. Looks like I should have gotten the pixel c.

Apply for the US LTE Developer Vulcan 6.0.1 and get the update within a few days - done
It works better than 6.0 too..

Yep, I used Personal and N/A for company and url when applying and got approved without issues. Update applies with TWRP, and latest SuperSU beta seems to be working great.

What kills me is the original LTE wasn't a "carrier branded" device. It was sold unlocked LTE yet ATT bloatware comes as standard and after it is enabled can not be disabled! My non rooted stock 6.0.1 can no longer SMS after the 4.1 update, I have no relationship with ATT as I use an mvno. My text and data plan had been working flawlessly til now! Are you folks able to SMS on the 4.1 update?

New LTE-A update

I saw on the T-Mobile website that this week we will be getting the August and September Security updates plus LTE-A support to get is 194mbps downloads and uploads with a maximum of 400mbps on the network possible. SO we will be getting an update with faster network speeds. Also there will also be a new gallery app and also the cloud support thing. I do think that they patched the root from what I have been hearing. I do also know that we are getting the update by the end of this week. YAH.

Link?
Article I saw said "later this month"... (Which technically fits with your end of the week timeline ?)

Whelp. This explains the lack of security updates as of late from T-Mobile/Samsung. The big magenta is cooking some extra spice into the goods! I can forgive them, now knowing this!

OK, that's the same article I read ... it says "Customers with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will be able to use this new technology with a software update later this month".
Hoping you're right and it happens this week as sooner is always better But at least knowing something is coming shortly is awesome IMO!

I just got a notification saying that there was a security update but I'm on echoe rom and wasn't able to try and update

I tried via my phone and via SamFirm and no update yet.

So we're getting 2 software updates one this month and another next month. The article also says "Customers with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will be able to use this new technology with a software update in October, with more phones on the way." For the 256 QAM and 64 QAM.

I'd the update don't hit your area why even bother. Denver needs it more than any other state why? Well in you live here you would have noticed the influx of people ever since 2012 when weed was made legal. Such ****ty speeds I had to remove my unlimited option because I was never getting more than 4gb at a time thanks to the horrible signal

Too bad T-Mobile isn't bringing 4x4 to the entire state of Connecticut, because **** us I guess.
Just push the damn security update. I can't wait until the U firmware goes to v3 so I can be free of this carrier firmware.

Havent got nothing yet....

CT often gets hung up on tower mods. They have to be approved through the state government to meet tourism and environmental standards.

I wouldn't hold my breath just yet for an update. We still have many days before end of month.

We're nearly at the end of the month and no updates reported from anybody?

In order to get the higher speeds, would only the modem need to be updated? If so, rooted phone users could just flash the modem and not need to be impacted by the "security" updates.

Here is my source: https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle

The S7 and S7 Edge are both in T-Mobile Testing Phase!

If you take a look over here https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates you will see both phones are being tested and since they don't update that page regularly it could be any time now!!

No, don't pay attention to internet scuttlebutt. That being said, nobody truly knows when the official will ship, but TMO has been excellent with providing timely updates in the past. I suspect it will ship sooner rather than later.

I checked the T-Mobile software update site last week and the S7 edge was only in the Manufacturing Development stage. It has since moved to the T-Mobile Testing stage. I would think we'll see the update sooner than later.

I Checked the link in the first post and it says completed

Even still, nougat is not going to allow root though? I mean I get it, waiting for nougat is great and all, but ultimately I want root too

they don't update that page very regularly...... my wife's HTC 10 got the OTA update about a month before it was listed as "completed" on that page.

it truly is pathetic how slowly it takes Samsung to get these updates out
will likely be the reason I never get one of these devices again

I just transferred, my phone from Sprint to Tmobile yesterday with my s7. I was pervious on Sprints beta 5 but flipped to Tmobile software now on PK1. A tech said Nougat coming to my phone next week. I think beta users might get it Friday.

The sad thing is that the non-carrier variants for US (G935U) doesn't even have Nougat beta or whatsoever. Plus, T-Mobile let its customers know at least the stage of Nougat release on the phone while Samsung has no mention of Nougat coming to 935Us. Also, the non-carrier variants are on a quarterly update cycle for security updates too. So, it would seem that, at least in the US, get the carrier variants for Samsung phones.

I am fine with quarterly updates, but yes carrier phones are getting the update before unlocked phones. I am willing to bet Sammy is being "forced" to allow carrier updates first because all US variance can flash the unlocked version.

It was released randomly for the SM-N920C 2 ¹/² weeks ago in Turkey...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71465602
...so it shouldn't be too much longer for the rest of the world to get it. Depends on when your service provider decides to release it though. I asked T-Mobile when it would be for SM-N920T and they pretty much said that they weren't allowed to say, that it would be sometime in the near future and just to keep an eye out for it. No one knows when it will be released, but literally EVERYONE is waiting for this, so believe me you'll know when it arrives on XDA.

Sprint got 7.0 today

We got N920TUVU4DQC2 today.. guess we have to wait a bit longer for Nougat.

Here's a write up about the Sprint Note 5
http://phandroid.com/2017/04/06/sprint-galaxy-note-5-nougat-update/
Folks rocking the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will want to be on the lookout for an OTA to hit their phone. It’s Nougat!
The update is coming in as version N920PVPU3DQC5, a 1.4GB affair. It’ll be receiving all of Nougat’s new features and those which Samsung are delivering as part of a big upgrade to TouchWiz. It may even make your phone feel brand new, though we aren’t promising anything. Oh, and its security patches are fairly up to speed with a March 1st, 2017 level.
Anyway, for such a massive file size you’ll want to make sure you’re on a WiFi connection and have a decently charged battery (let’s say more than 50% to be on the safe side) before attempting to pull it down. Head to the settings menu on your phone to look for it manually if it hasn’t already hit your notifications tray.

I made this tutorial awhile ago for people with root to still be able to receive the update. Doesn't work if you're currently using a Nougat rom though. Can be done easily however from either stock Marshmallow or a Marshmallow rom that's based on your devices firmware.

Tmobile SOON 7.0

I wonder why all the other major US carriers have it out and TMO does not. I hope it is not an indication that the TMO version has bugs.

Could be they wanna make sure it is good for us first. I have heard about the other carriers releasing buggy updates to just get them out...lol we can hope anyway

Can someone confirm for me that Google Pay works on 2ARE6? I don't want to flash to my ATT which will wipe my phone to find out it is still not passing Safety Net.

Could someone on the ARE6 OTA download AIDA64, go to the "Display" tab and check the date under "GPU Version"?

Is there an update for tmobile?

Actually that build been out for weeks on AT&T Server as well so nothing really new with 2ARE6 . 2ARE2 is way better build and has newer stuff on it compared to 2ARE6 has old stuff which is weird.

I read in one of the threads that they have some method of pulling the hidden OTA updates from the update server. The crazy thing is there's new builds every few days. It seems crazy to have to wait months for a new update, and when it comes its still a month behind on security patches.
If you watch the t-mobile and ATT threads specifically, you'll see the Ota updates. Be warned, most don't pass safety net (ARC6 was the last one before ARE6 to pass), so if you need Google Pay or anything else that relies on safety net, your screwed. The other warning is that these OTA files factory reset your device.

How do you know which ones pass the safety net? Also ARF2 passes the safety net. Also why was ARF2 so big? I have it on my phone but nothing new has appeared...

You don't know until someone tries to use something like say Google Pay. For an update to pass SafetyNet, Samsung has to submit it to Google, and then Google has to Certify it. No idea why it's so big. The problem with these unofficial OTA updates is that your not really sure *what* is in them, with the exception of a possible new security patch level.
Have you actually gotten Google Pay to run on ARF2?
