Sorry got an AT&T they do not Allow Beta Testers. So who knows when they will get Oreo to run with all their Bloatware Next Year to release Oreo!!! Think just T-Mobile and Verizon allowed to be Beta Testers.

You can flash unlocked firmware and run beta. They just dropped a beta update now and say within the next month will be opening up the program again so keep an eye on the Samsung+ app

I was pretty sure it was only T-Mobile and Sprint. No Verizon. Was I wrong?

Does it matter which carrier sim is being used with the unlocked firmware in the US? I have had the unlocked firmware installed for a while with an at&t sim and haven't seen anything about the beta in the Samsung+ app.

That's because the registration isn't open again yet.
You can use any sim. I was using an att sim card with att unlocked G950U1 firmware I downloaded from Updato.com

Lg g3 at&t factory unlocked firmware update question

Hey guys, I recently purchased an LG G3 AT&T Factory unlocked so other network carriers can be used. But when I click software update it already says I'm updated (CURRENTLY RUNNING LOLLIPOP 5.0.1) so I assume you need to have an AT&T sim card to update your software.
Is there like any way to bypass that so I can update my phone to android 6.0? If so how? and would I need to have it factory unlocked again?
I'm new to this, so detailed explanation would be deeply appreciated!
Cheers!

The AT&T model does not come factory unlocked. It's a carrier model and has to be manually unlocked. So if you bought it new it cannot be new as the seller would of had to open it to unlock it.
But no there is no other way to do OTA updates on it without an AT&T sim, go phone sim , or H2O prepaid sim.

Yes but the latest is KitKat so you would be downgrading. Since its the AT&T model it's tot method only. And the latest tot file is kitkat.

Can the H2O sim work outside the US

No it wouldn't work with that.
H2O sims can be gotten for under $1 on Amazon or eBay. And you don't have to add money to activate them.

So if I got a used AT&T G3, I could buy an H2O sim, activate it, get the OTA Marshmallow update, the remove that sim and put in my CC sim? Even if I had to buy the $10 Paygo plan, it would be worth it

Yes you can. As long as the used G3 was not rooted you can OTA update.

Will an unlocked D850 receive the update or does it still have to be locked to AT&T? A lot of D850s on eBay are unlocked.

The unlocked ones will get the updates just fine. But you still will need an active AT&T sim or H2O sim to get the update.

Hey were you able to install marshmallow on at&t D850 by ordering H2O sim?
Please do mention when you inserted that sim then you were in H2O network range or overseas? (as I am in New Zealand)
and how did you manage to install after inserting sim?
Thanks for helping pal.

Actually, you should get OTA updates on Consumer Cellular. They are my carrier and I have received several updates on my AT&T G3, including one just today. New software version is now D85030p.

Word of caution. Be familiar with how to revert to KK using the tot method. I say this because if the phone has been rooted, and all that was done was uninstall the root app and factory reset, the phone may not take an OTA update as it will read the system as modified. Plenty of discussion on this here in the forums. Also keep in mind that there is no permanent root method for MM as of yet.

I bought a 2015 Moto G instead of the LG G3. Decided to go with something not quite so large and with manufacturer (as opposed to carrier) support for MM. After looking at them "in the flesh" I decided the G3 was a larger phone than I wanted. Thanks for your help.

Not sure why your posting in this thread, CM 13 is not stock or official firmware. You first need to ROOT your device.

Downloading the S7 Edge Android 7 Nougat Beta Right Now (HOW TO)

I am currently downloading the Nougat Beta Update for my S7 Edge and wanted to let others know how to do it.
1. I registered through the Samsung Beta programs a few days ago from the Samsung App Store
2. I did a manual check for updates through the About section in the settings.
Downloading update as we speak.

You need to go to the Samsung App Store ans search for Beta and register.
There is no link because it is done through the over the air section under about/manual update in your phone settings menu.

Actually you got it via OTA and mine was leaked version so might be a little difference could be I there. And also I wouldn't be getting the next update via OTA cause it wasn't from samsung source. On the other hand somehow after flashing the Nougat my sim card got killed. I don't know how. then I replaced the sim & now I'm afraid to loose my knox warranty tripped. also faced some minor bugs- like a notification never closing from the status bar and some more. that's why I came back to MM. by the way I'm not from UK neither from BTU csc. I'm actually XSG csc. Bangladesh.

Flashing this image means it will come with Verizon bloat?
This doesn't bode well for the few of us stuck with sprints updated bootloader waiting and hoping that this update would cone with the updated bootloader so we could finally switch firmware I'm guessing

actually haven't crossed any information indicating that, although I was more wanting to get off the Sprint firmware but stuck on the bootloader 5 firmware of Sprint's been waiting months in hope the oreo update for verizon would contain the #5 bootloader version so i could finnally come off the Sprint's firmware as i am a verizon customer.

Works well! Thanks again!!! Any chance you would be making a hybrid rom for this that is as clean as the unlocked and has all the features but also has Verizon features such as video and wifi calling?

Sorry, but I'm in the same boat as you. They said that Unlocked US variant should get the beta but the sign up option in the members app doesn't appear at all for me. So either I missed it somehow or they delayed it for the Unlocked variant.
If I do end up getting access I'll be sure to post it here for others to download.
