If you give us more information we can tell you what the update was. can you go to Settings>about phone and see there and give me the Build number and baseband version.

Samsung usually says nothing detail informations about their updates. So just try it.

The builtnumber of the update would be helpfull.
Then it depends how big the update is. I assume its the latest COJx update around 140 mb?
Security und Performance updates is probably the most what we can say.

[Q]Android M Update 6.0.1

It's rolled it out in batches to make sure their servers aren't bombarded with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people trying to update it at once.
And your friend may not have the international version: some other carriers push it out quicker
If you want to do it officially, it's just a matter of patience. I know the feeling of frustration, checking for system updates twice a day, but it'll arrive eventually

[Completed] Will I lose foxify ability when installing newest software on Verizon s7edge?

Currently running Android 6.0.1 on Verizon s7 edge. With September 1st security patch. I want to keep my hotspot with foxify capabilities but I don't know if newest update will prevent that and would like to know if it will or not. Also would like to know if there are any rooting possibilities for this phone with that firmware and security patch available at the moment. I didn't mean to update the September's but I stuck it in my pocket and it must have touched my body and did it by itself. Thankyou for the help.

Firmware Downgrade from Oreo

Hello XDA community,
I got an interesting notification from Samsung while browsing through the internet.
Android wants me to "update" to their 7.0 Nougat firmware with the december security patch. So far so good, firmware updates by samsung take ages anyway but there is a big problem
I already flashed to Oreo 8.0 with Odin 3.1
My question is how can I remove that forced software update? Samsung support told me Odin wouldn't be an official programm and that they won't help me with rooted devices..

From the little I've read here at XDA, the BL has not been blocked, so you should be able to re-flash the firmware you wish.

i need help

If your device has not been rooted, go to Settings - Software update, check updates via OTA.

I think you should contact the customer service of the device manufacture, samsung, to check when it will push Android 7.0 via OTA. In fact, so many manufactures have pushed Android 8.0 for their customers till now.
