Hi there,

You can update normally via OTA/settings on your phone.

Question about the nougat update.

Hey guys hope you are having a good day, I read online that some variants of galaxy s7 won't receive the nougat update, is that true ? Or did all the variants receive it ?
Thank you in advance.
After reading too myself, It was found to be a bug. If that is indeed the case, there is no reason to worry as you can easily use ODIN to flash the latest version of Nougat.

Thank you that's reassuring, so I won't have to worry no matter what variant I get ?
Yup, don't worry, the cases you have been reading are isolated cases.

Do the MM update by downloading from Sammobile.
Don't screw around with OTA updates. . . . too much chance of an error.

Why not a custom ROM with root?

It seems your phone is a little different due to the bootloader.
I did find this though:

Do a little research on the web and on this board.
You'll probably find some good answers.

CF-Auto-Root for Galaxy S8 Plus running Android 8.0 Oreo

Is there any CF-Auto-Root package for Galaxy S8+ running Android 8.0 Oreo?
Any link to download? and tutorial/guide to install?
I have rooted my S8 Plus Exynos running Oreo CRAP and again CRB7 after update through magisk http://galaxys8root.com/galaxy-s8-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s8-or-s8-plus-on-android-8-0-oreo/

Yup i rooted on S8+ it works for both. Anyway follow the step by step video on top of the page. It's way easier to do so. Remember you'll lose all data so make a backup beforehand and read everything clearly in the link. The video is a huge help.

No CF-Auto-Root for US Snapdragon S8/S8+, unfortunately. No SamFail root either for official Oreo on them; for Oreo, as far as I see, there is no combo/factory firmware yet (as of 02APR2018)--only carrier-specific Oreo firmware. I believe that means that SamFail root is not possible for official Oreo S8/S8+ US Snapdragon firmware. As such, I stick to Nougat until (if ever) there is a relevant Oreo factory firmware.

Downgrading from Oreo to Nougat?

Is it possible to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat stock without root?

Yes it is but you have to make sure that you stay on BL3. You can't downgrade the BL. He used a thread with the latest Nougat Odin files.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...n950u-stock-n950usqs3brb2-odin-files-t3761567
Once back on Nougat, download BK package disabler and freeze both software updates (just use the search feature and type in updates) so that it don't auto update on you.

You have version 1, version 2 and version 3. If your on oreo then you are on version 3. Search which firmware version 3 runs on and you'll get your answer, or you can use the link i gave you to the last Nougat version 3 that was pushed out by AT&T. I think there were only 2 firmwares on Nougat that ran on version 3.

Yes it's super easy. Using Odin, you can use one of the threads below. BRA8 is a hair older (1 month). BRB2 will have the latest security patch

I've never seen a BRA9 for the AT&T Note 8, upgrade or Odin. We went from BRA8 to BRB2

Do you know if SamFail V3 root works on 3BRB2 ?.

Yes. Samfail V3 will work with either one of these firmwares.
Can I use the BL included in oreo for Note 8 to down grade to nougat? Now that I upgraded my tethering doesnt work and neither does wifi calling.
