Security/Firmware Updates. Are they acummulative? Issue /w G930F - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I just picked up a SM-G930F and it will not update to the latest. My last update is January.
Being I'm so far behind I would like to know if I have to install the latest or all of them in order.

Just install the latest, they are full ROMs not updates, updates only come from OTA

Thanks!

TMO Website states Nougat "Completed"!!!!

Just checked the TMO software update site and Nougat for the Note 5 now has moved from "Testing" to "Completed".

The OTA updates should be coming very soon!!!
There's multiple threads about this topic.... Why even post another one?

Because this is the first tmo confirmation of availability without Smart Switch or having to use Odin. We tend to forget that newbies get confused about options other than Ota.
Got my update last night. ☺

New OTA update G935VVRU4BQC5

Still haven't received it but it looks like a junk update.
NRD90M.G935VVRU4BQC5
This software update provides the latest enhancements for Enterprise customers.
One Talk℠ from Verizon:
The Galaxy S7 edge now supports One Talk, connecting your office and mobile devices with one number.
App update:
Amazon Shopping (version 8.1.1)
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-update/
Edit: I received it and it updated Android security patch level to April
Are you sure that the OTA Firmware isn't actually a 7.0+ Nougat Build? The QC builds that I've seen so far have all been at least base 7.0 Nougat.
I don't have a S7 vzw. Yet. Probably within a few days.

Update downloaded, install failed. Guessing because I'm rooted.. anyone else??
They just now only included One Talk? That's been on the S6 and S5 for a long time now.

Yep. You can return to stock and keep some directory changes you made by using their desktop Verizon Software Recovery utility for Samsung. You'd lose root but the phone will get and install OTA updates.

Installed and used it for a couple of days. Found, that security changes made all calendar notifications on locked screen to be hidden - "some hidden event" & "some hidden time"
I know we will lose root if we take this update but is the update still rootable? I'm rooted on QA4 still and refused to take this update yet as I just received the notification today(Tuesday 5/2/17). I like being rooted with dual speaker mod,and V4A installed. Can anybody confirm if this version is rootable using the Nougat root method? How can I disable the uodates?

If you go to @jrkruse "root for nougat" thread and follow his guide, you'll be able to root the qc5firmware.

I am already on BQC5 and just this morning I got a new system software update downloaded, ready to install message. Odd thing is in the past, prior to BQC5 the notification showed the build number, date and what was changing. Now it doesn't show me anything. It just says there is an update do you want to install now or later.....
Anyone have info on this "unknown" system update?
Looks like this
Software Update G930VVRS4BQC9 for Samsung Galaxy S7 and G935VVRS4BQC9 Galaxy S7 Edge
Android May security update.
Device Stability improvements, bug fixes.
Further improvements to performance.
http://sihmar.com/software-update-g930vvrs4bqc9-galaxy-s7-edge/
Should say further improvements to guaranteeing random lag.

New OTA Update for Samsung J7

Just a question... Did anyone get a OTA update from MetroPCS today (06-25-2017). If so, how is the update and should we update..
Showing basebandJ700T1UVS3AQF1
I received the update for T-Mobile. Not sure, if it's better than the previous update, so far don't see any improvement.
Sent from my SM-J700T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
The update is mostly for security patches from what I can tell.

Update: G935VVRS48QI1 October 1 security patch level.

Another Android 7.0 security patch update. Yawn.

Yes, it's still rootable using this method.

TMO Note 9 update

Hey so I'm curious, I used firmware.science to update my t-mobile note 9 to pie. The build number currently is different from the official T-mobile build number, is it plausible that my phone would still recieve the official update, or would I have too use another method???

OTA updates are controlled by your carrier, if you update the device with a different firmware than what is offered by your carrier for your device, then yes, that may interfere with future OTA updates offered by your carrier.
But, you can always just update manually, some devices have updates available but actually have to update manually because the carrier doesn't offer the update via OTA, some devices never get OTA updates from the carrier even though there is an update available to the public for the device.

Thank you, that's good to know. My wife's phone updated last night and the firmware.science website now has the t-mobile build listed. Considered what you said as far as having a different build number from what t-mobile has and it possible affecting future updates, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to re update with the correct build as not to miss any critical updates in the future.

As long as you have a T-mobile specific build, you "should" never have issues with updates.
Other builds may or may not still allow you to get updates, but why bother with a guessing game when you can use a T-mobile specific build instead.
