Question about the nougat update.

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.

Thank you for your suggestion, I didn't have to go through all this after all because I received the update and now I'm running a custom stock rom, thank you again

Marshmallow ROM's?

Hello XDA,
Are there any roms available still for this phone that run 6.0? I prefer to run that since Xposed isn't completely working with Nougat yet. Thanks.

I believe seeing US unlocked model Android 6 stock rom. I guess guys from dev section might have an answer. I have a link for many roms, but deleted it after moving to Galaxy S8.

I had no issues with 8.0 but I still take ftfs because of the battery drain bugs I had in 7

Check this out:
Links to files are there in the description
Been digging for the same recently and that is the only tutorial for current 8.0 stock I could find.
Haven't tried it myself though... Good luck

If you have TWRP installed, go install Magisk
