930a marshmallow update - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello i had my unlocked s7 930a for 1.5 years now... it's getting slower so i want to update it... as i don't live in the states i dont get at&t official updates so i've been stuck in marsmallow...
My questions are...
do i have to update to nougat before updating it to oreo?
is there any detailed tutorial to update the phone?
i saw a few ones but i couldn't find those answers...

Go to the ATT forum and grab the 930U firmware and flash it. I'm on the latest 930U and it's way faster than ATT firmware

How to update 920F?

New to international unbranded models.. I just purchased a 920F S6. How do these models get their updates ota? With a tmo 920T you could check update etc but how does an unbranded model work?
Also, I've seen posts about flashing a France firmware to get updates faster. Is there an unbranded version that gets the first updates from Samsung?
Thanks
hi you would need BTU firmware i do believe

Yes you can, flash the latest tmobile firmware file via file odin. On the tmobile s7 forums are a lot of guides to show you this. Please note this will convert your us cellular s7 to a tmobile s7 (software wise)

Use U firmware on SM-G930R4

I have been wondering if I can use any of the U firmware on the R4.
Actually, this is just a question per se since I did the upgrade to Nougat yesterday and the U version doesn't have Nougat, I just want to know if this is possible. FYI my phone is GSM Unlocked, is not yet rooted due to me being lazy, but I know that doesn't matter since it's an Odin task.
Edit: I have made further investigation and the G930R4 uses the Product Code (USC) which is available to download for the G930U too, now I should wait for a real confirmation of this.
Answering my own question and for others to know.
You can flash any USA firmware on any USA variant.
Anyone have a combination file for S7 G930R4 Android 8?

Update to Oreo from Nougat - S7 T-Mobile?

since tmobile and samsung are taking their sweet time to update the software, i was curious if there's a way to update 930T version phone myself? i see there's rom available to flash via odin for 930F, but is there a way to do it on the T-Mobile version 930T? thanks!
Nope. These are 2 different versions.

Samsung S10e not Receiving Updates (SM-G970U)

Hello guys,
I bought my brand-new Samsung S10e this year in early July and I havent received any update since the January 2020 security patch, which I assume was installed when the phone was manufactured. I was wondering if there's any issue with my firmware or anything. I have seen some recommendations for firmware flashing, I am a bit freaked out about it as I have never done it and I dont want to brick the phone. Additionally my phone is the US variant (Snapdragon) and New Zealand where I live has Exynos for the Default, further convincing me that the phone might have no compatible firmware for where I live to receive updates. I also read that it is not possible for Snapdragon to be rooted and so I was wondering if I could get comfirmation as to whether or not I could use custom ROMs. Any help, suggestions, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, I am desperate for anything.
Phone model number: Galaxy S10e SM-G970U 128GB
Thanks in advance

Your best option is to download SamFirm 5.0 and download SM-G970U1 firmware XAA code. Youll get updates then. Search how to use SamFirm and tutorial how to flash with patched Odin.

Are you sure that I use the SM-G970U1 firmware and not the SM-G970U firmware, I just really don't want to screw it up, is there a link you could send so I'm not installing viruses? Thank you
