No updates on a G930F... am I missing something? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I'm lost and I've found a lot of apparently contradictory information on the internet but how do the updates for this phone work? Last OTA I got was on December and no Nougat nor security patches since then. Checking for updates manually don't come up with any. My security patch is from 16th of November!
It's a supposedly unlock phone that I bought in Germany but is now running on a Portuguese network. Shouldn't be an issue but people have insisted it's why it's not updating. Help me out here, I'm at a loss...

Hi mate
Updates are CSC depending check what CSC you have to see if an update is available..... of course you can always flash it manually

Thanks Max, I haven't owned a Samsung for so long I forgot how to check those things. Apparently it's a German version:

Hi
well the CSC you have did not have the upgrade yet...
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/DTM/.....
And Nos (optimus ) either
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/OPT/
so you either have to wait...or flash it (odin) yourself from another country/operator

Hah! No mystery or conspiracy on why I'm not getting updates then! Thank you so much Max!

No problem mate...
But remember you will only get the DTM upgrade (Germany) not from Portugal...upgrades are CSC specific

That's OK, I really just want the security patches, I don't even run my phone in Portuguese or have any sort of network specific software going on. AFAIK, NOS stopped bothering about bloatware a long time ago, their phones are locked free international versions so I would be on a similar boat if I had bought it here from them.

Becaused I didn't know about the BTU before you told me about it. The May, June and July updates all came pretty quick. So it have not been a problem before now.
I guess, that if I flash a BTU rom, I have to start from scratch again with setting up my phone? I really don't wan't to do that, before I can Nougat or something else big.
Can you link to a BTU which will work with my version of Samsung Galaxy S7? It's bought at the Danish carrier 3's webstore.

Android Security Patch is updated to June 1, 2017.
patch came through 6/29/2017.
update went smooth. Everything seems stable.
yes, security updates to 6/1/2017.
I googled the "System Enhancements" and there were no documented enhancements posted . . .
Can anyone identify any known enhancements?
Hi all. This update from T-Mobile is causing serious MODEM problem to my S7 Edge G935T, I can't get any access to internet over LTE. Only Wi-Fi i can used, PICTURE message is problem. I call T-Mobile and they say Samsung didn't test the update so now a lot of S7 Edge user have to go best buy Samsung store for them to downgrade the software.
---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------
I have downgrade it my self, when 7 different security patch back, even to ANDROID 6.0 the problem still persist.
Normally used the U FIRMWARE with T-Mobile CP for better speeds. Now I'm running more test, I did standard T-Mobile update from software version 4BQB1, so far I'm updating my apps only on LTE, looks good now. Will see what happens in a few hours.
Just bought my S7E used and ran this latest OTA update... it sent me into boot loops that persisted through multiple master reset, cache clearing etc. even in safe mode. Used Odin to roll back to the C1 update and all is good. Will probably try to update again this weekend.
Has anyone else spotted anything new?

I have noticed that the backgrounds have changed wallpapers for the Always on Display.
Neat enhancement if you use this feature.

Do you have any idea how long HTC normally takes (e.g. on other devices) to run through the stages? Are we talking about a few days/weeks or even some months again?
If i'm asking already: does HTC support firmware updates by custom ROMs or does one have to flash stock bootloader+ROM first? Huawei had something like that and 'just' updating was never as fast as I wish it would have been
Its usually from when it starts rolling out a couple weeks till everyone gets ota... unless something goes wrong

I got the update for an Indian version in the UK yesterday.
I have the 64GB International model in the US. No update yet. Waiting patiently.
Many problems are mentioned in another thread so it's better to hold on and don't update right away. Let's see the feedback

It's only being rolled out in few countries in EU. Keep checking in the link below four any updates inn your market.
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/
hello, if someone manages to have the kdz can share it? thank you
I just found out as well... I guess that after applying the update, root would be lost, right?
No luck for Sweden, it's irritating that there's no download links for neighbouring countries to crossflash. Except dodgy sites that wants your IMEI and some cash to go with it. With Samsung it's a breeze to crossflash. In exampel another European firmware isn't that much of a difference as most carriers here have practically the same hardware and standards, it shouldn't be this difficult.
Can you share the screenshot about new update? Especially software information
nothing in Norway
Will keep checking devtester to see if UK gets an overdue update.. Still on July update!
They fixed that annoying icon on top when i disable auto-rotation. Now when i disable it. It doesnt show that stupid icon.

Just got the update in Italy with a Tim branded G7.
Since it's a branded the update is 10i and not 10k but it's the same update.

WHERE IS THE N9860 ANDROID 11 UPDATE?

Anyone know? Once again, last in line!
im guessing start of january?
In some country samsung pushed out a message in members app of when release of android 11 with oneui 3.0 will be out of both note 20 phones and there it said January 2021 was estimated date.
So give it to end of January 2021 and see.
Samsung is only early rolling it out to few countries already, so that's a positive thing
It's always last it seems probably next year some time
I receive yesterday :

We are last to get it I guess. I was really excited for it...
It does seem that way. A little frustrating!
Zzzzz
I think they are intentionally doing so because people imported a lot of N9860.
Let's hope our version is more stable than the current one atleast..

I don't think so. It's a device for many regions in the far east. Just seems to be last on the priority list.
