Question about the nougat update. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

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.

Guys,
What a coincidence I ran across this thread. I literally just battled with this. It's ridiculously hard to find a c-spire rom for android phones. Anyway, you need to do like @sinopapa recommended and download SamFirm. Put in your device model (SM-G920R7 for S6, SM-G925R7 for S6 Edge) and for region put ACG and click the auto checkbox. You will then be able to download the latest rom directly from samsung. Just decrypt using the decrypt button and install via odin.
Hope I save someone some time!

It worked! thanks.
Is it possible to convert c-spire s6 edge into us cellular? sm-g925r7 -->sm-g925r4 ?

What's the latest build number version for G930F?

I just bought the G930F and I'm using it on AT&T. I'm currently on G930FXXU1APB4 but I saw on Chainfire's website that he has G930FXXU1APBF. Will root work on G930FXXU1APB4?

Does it matter what build number/version I'm on when rooting my G930F? Will it work regardless?

We usually go for the latest version. Samsung never provide change list. Since your phone is rooted, it's easy to do a backup and try them out and see it for yourself, no?
I'm sorry but I don't understand how this works. My build number is this MMB29K.G930FXXU1APB4. Can I use CF-Auto-Root to root my phone?

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

That I couldn't say.
Why not a custom ROM with root?

It seems your phone is a little different due to the bootloader.
I did find this though:
https://www.techandios.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-edge-sm-n915a-f-to-be-replaced-by-a/amp/
Do a little research on the web and on this board.
You'll probably find some good answers.

Galaxy s6 tmobile

So I know this is the wrong area but s6 forums are dead so I was hoping someone could answer a question here. What I wanted to know was that I am on nougat right now and I was thinking of installing a custom rom that was a lower android version. I am rooted and know all the steps to do it but was unsure if that would brick it by having a different version on it. And in case you wonder why it is because I wanted to use unlimited hotspot and have not found a way to do so with nougat but many ways to do it on older versions plus I could use foxfi. So please no bashing just a guy looking for answers is all. Thank you for your time.
Last thing I am on metro pcs but it is a tmobile version. I also do the stock 6.0 version to flash it
Anyone
Why don't you just try it if the worst comes to the worst just flash your latest Android version with Odin

Yeah it will just cause it to soft brick and as I said you can just flash your latest firmware for the s6 with Odin and sorry but I don't have any links

I have 7.0 firmware and I'm dl the 6.0 firmware now to try. I'm also going to back up my efs partition just in case. If all works I'll make wssd a thread so others can do the same if wanted as I didn't see anything posted
