SM-G950U Software Update Released -- G950UOYN1AQHD - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Just thought I would throw up a thread for it. This thread is by no means official, but here you go. Keep in mind I use the T-Mobile Galaxy S8, though, to my knowledge, this shouldn't matter for the S8.
The update is 418.50 MB in size.

Where is Samsung Pay

I know Samsung Pay was one of the biggest features for this phone, but I can't find it anywhere.

Samsung is working on the 5.1 update right now for our phones. I'm sure it will include Samsung pay.

Yeah verizon definitely doesn't want us to have Samsung browser for whatever reason. I also hope vzw doesn't get lazy with the update as well. Seeing as how this is a new and very popular device it should at least get prompt attention for most of the year.
Ha we will get 5.1 by Xmas for us with vzw slow behinds

I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.

Is this available on old Samsung Phone?
Erm, is this available on Old Samsung phone? I have one samsung galaxy ace, will it works?
No you have to be on a carrier other than Verizon.
As of now they aren't supporting it.

I called today and they told me to download the Samsung Plus app from the Google playstore. I downloaded it agreed to the terms and logged in and then inside the app there was a link that said "Join Samsung Pay Beta". So far it doesn't do anything, but it seems promising that it might work tomorrow after the beta has officially begun.

This is promising that it even installs and launches. Hopefully we can side load if needed. Are you running 5.1.1 update or did it work on older firmware?
I'm running 5.1.1 on an ATT S6 Edge+ it wouldn't install in my Verizon S6 Edge whether that was because its on 5.0.2 or because Verizon isn't supporting Samsung Pay I'm not sure.

On your verizon device?
I highly doubt it. I just spoke to the people from SamsungPay and was told verizon is not supporting it as of now.

I also installed the files and it starts but wont go past the first screen.
hope verizon pulls their heads out of their asses.
I find it sad that they are always last in releasing stuff. With all their capital they should be industry leaders.

Said he couldn't load it on his Verizon device. he should be posting in the ATT forum
Sorry, guys I originally had a Verizon S6 Edge but I switched to ATT and got an S6 Edge+ when they came out and Verizon said they might not support Samsung Pay. I'll make sure to switch forums.

Nougat coming to S7 in January.

I hope Verizon doesn't take forever to release it's version.

Yes but Im on the unlocked firmware Verizon s7 edge I had used odin to flash the unlocked firmware a few months back not rooted just received the APL4 with December security patch I suppose this is wrong place to have posted that since im on unlocked firmware.
No it's not!! Not to Verizon anyway!!
*not
Well only 2 days left in January 2017 and no Nougat update anywhere in site.
Once again, thanks Verizon for failing your loyal customers!!!!!!
Verizon will wait for S8 device to drop and then put the S7 devices on the shelf. I don't think that they ever intended to provide Nougat to S7 even though they participated in the beta. S8 is just a few months away therefore projecting another avenue of revenue for Verizon.
I wouldn't say that the s7 will be left out at least not by the developers of this forum. Maybe verizon however thanks to that person in the beta forum we can at least install 7.0 which is a beta maybe in we can un beta the beta in the future and have a perfect 7.0 rom. With that being said im just fine with 7.0
Won't really be a significant difference between 7.0 and 7.1.
February.... march...what the heck verizon get it together or im going back to straight talk, i thought i payed hundreds more for less inconvenience.
Same as it is every year. It's a contest between getting a new model phone with the new OS or Verizon letting us have one. Usually close to a tie. in any case I stopped worrying about the new OS and just get a new phone every year. That's' probably what they want.. Maybe this year I'll have it for about a few weeks at most before a new model is available. Whatever Verizon....
I'm looking to go to I phone 8 on T Mobile before buying another non updated locked down Samsung product from Verizon. I may try second gen pixel if it looks good.
I really want Nougat to be released but at the rate it's going, support is nonexistent for this phone. I'm honestly thinking of canceling my Verizon plan and going to Straight Talk with VZW towers. At least then I'll be able to pay for what I get, ya know? Just wish they had the Pixel XL on the straight talk payment plan store.

When can we expect root for snapdragon variant?

Can we expect root access anytime soon?
As soon as you get it rooted.
Not anytime soon, no. If ever.
Not soon if ever... too early to know.
Welcome to XDA!
How do people expect a time frame on stuff like this? Why do I not have this calendar that shows expected leak dates or exploits found, and a devs work schedule.
Especially since the bootloader is locked
I had a good laugh. Thanks mate. :good:

one of the rules of XDA is to NOT ask for ETA. Unwritten rule if not explicitly codified.
Just curious. Are jailbreaking and rooting the same thing? I just came back over to the android with the s8+. I've had a few samsung phones the last being the note 3 rooted with cleanrom installed. Never thought android (snapdragon) would hard to exploit than ios.
US carriers pretty much tell phone makers not to allow bootloader unlocking because "reasons" and qualcom isn't opensource friendly
The distinction is that the international variant has an unlocked bootloader. The snapdragon version is locked. Two different ballgames unfortunatly.

Not anymore with samsung devices since the S7...its been over a year everyone should know this by now.

You know, I updated to the S8+ from the S6. It could be my imagination but the bloatware isn't near as bad as it used to be and the stock ROM runs nearly as smoothly as I remember Cyanogenmod running back in the day on my S4.
AT&T (and snapdragon) users ought to be used to the idea of locked bootloaders by now. They've made it mostly bearable.

So can we get a link that I can ODIN WITHOUT signing up and paying money as usual?
My S7E wifi has been broken since last update and no matter what I do it keeps breaking.
I put in a clean install and it works great until T-Mobile forces updates behind my back.
They have known a long time about the issue and blames Samsung "as always"
I'm never buying another Samsung device ever.
I was always just fine with a cheap Chinese knockoff that was unlocked.
They care less what you do with the phone as long as they get paid.
I miss Cyanogen and the fun of changing OS's

If this doesn't work for ya, try to google G935TUVS4BRC1 and make sure that you are using the correct stock rom for T-Mobile and Samsung Galaxy Edge 7. Not AT&T, Not Verizon . . .
You can always Odin back to stock

Thanks brother...
But those links of course...Sign up and for money if I want the premium speeds.
It's funny how the Android OS is critical to using your phone and it is always either broken or you have to pay to get what is free in the first place.
I am never buying Samsung ever again.

(Rev.3/2) ANY SM-N986U1 USERS (USA) GET ONE UI 3.1? 《WELL, WHY HAVEN'T YOU, IT'S HERE?!》

(Revised 3/2/21)
If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!
《ATTENTION: ALL NEW MEMBERS AND GUESTS OF XDA DEVELOPERS FORUM》
Welcome to our humble, yet well informed niche!

I read Samsung already started rolling out out this update at the beginning of the week(2/15)
to include this handset. I'm TMB and that's a
no-go (so far) and Sprint hasn't rolled it out either.
Anyone with new Intel on this matter, please share as a small monetary contribution will be made available(jk)!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!
(We will know more soon, I'm certain)!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.

I'm glad to see Samsung always improving their camera function as that is one of their claim-to-fames, one that snagged-me as I've said many times! However, I was sorta expecting to see something thrown in the mix about changes implemented to extend battery life...wasn't just me, right?
