Software updates - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello, I was wondering if you can delete previously downloaded software updates. My phone downloaded the nougat update overnight but I want to stay on marshmallow for Goodlock UI and other reasons? It keeps notifying me to update.

AT&T OTA Issues

Hello there.
I purchased my G4 in June or so of last year, and can't seem to get it to work with OTA updates. Phone is currently on 5.1, Kernal 3.19.49, Build LMY47D, Software version H81010e, Security software version MDF v1.1 Release 4. I have never attempted to flash or modify the phone, so it's been bone stock since the day I bought it.
I was out of the country and away from OTA updates from October 2015-March 2016, and since returning I havn't been able to get OTA to register an update is available using either the "Check for Updates" in Android, or LG Bridge on Windows. I didn't really put too much thought into it because of all the issues MM has/had, but now that Wi-Fi calling is available I'd really like to be able to update.
What would my best options be for getting the phone current and up to date with AT&T? I'd really like to avoid dealing with their repair services unless there is a good reason to go that route.
Thanks!
Update
Just in case someone finds this down the road with a similar problem, here's what I did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g4/general/att-h810-to-stock-guide-tot-method-t3248532
I followed that guide and manually updated from software version H81010e to software version H81010o. As soon as the software was updated, I checked for updates in settings as per usual and it immediately recognized and downloaded the OTA update from AT&T. Seems getting behind on software updates while out of country was preventing me from downloading new versions of Android.
Hey

Will I get 7.0 update on my Honor 8 via OTA?

Hi, I recently downgraded from Android 7.0 to 6.0 on my Honor 8 device using firmware package as I faced severe battery drain issues with 7.0 (I tried the rollback package but it didn't work for me). I'm wondering if I'll get the future updates to 7.0 via OTA or should I download manually and install?

If I was you I would make sure that you are registered via your honor ID &, Hicare and wait see if you get the ota. I can't think of any reason why you won't get it.
I have only updated via official OTA's and I have had no issues with battery life.
My phone is very stable and the battery lasts all day what ever I'm doing no problem.
It would be interesting to see how many of the folks that are having issues have rooted Thier phone's or used the FF etc.
When you do get the update install the update then factory reset them give your phone a week to settle and learn your usage habits

Help with Firmware Finder to get Nougat

Hi there
I am NXT-L29C636B193.
I have rooted or unlocked bootloader.
I have grown impatient with waiting now... I'm almost convinced Huawei won't update my device... It is still on June Patch...
I am in the UK, maybe why there has been no update...
How can I use Firmware Finder or other software to safely upgrade to Nougat without rooting? As I want to be able to use Android Pay in the future...
Firmware finder has been updated so it isn't as clear as before... Some of the updates displayed now say Full OTA but they used to say just OTA...?
Please help!
All advice is appreciated :laugh:
Some of the updates shown on Firmware Finder has changed...
Notice the two screenshot, some used to say OTA but have changed to say Full OTA?

Prevent OTA update to Android 10?

Is there any way to prevent a Galaxy S10e from from accepting the update? I just bought this phone from Verizon after my S5 was becoming really laggy after 5 years. My phone automatically downloaded the update, but I postponed it. I disable system auto updates under developer options and also under biometrics and security: other security settings: security policy updates. But I restarted my phone, and the update popped up and asked me to install now or later. I postponed it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to continue doing that. Any ideas?
Why don't you want to update to Android 10?

Various reasons. Is there a way to stop the update from happening once it's downloaded and in the "bug the user" loop?
I'd love to know this (prevent ota update) as well
