Not receiving OTA updates

I have got an unlocked Galaxy S7 (G930F) and have flashed the android nougat update (BTU - UK - 7.0). It is working fine.
Since I have updated to nougat, there are some updates released (bug fixes, I can confirm this on sammobile site) but are not available when I check for the updates in settings.
Any idea on what this issue might be.
If you have either root or custom recovery you can't receive OTAs but you can update using SmartSwitch on your PC

hi mate
Updates ( if you are not rooted) are CSC carrier dependent , if your carrier or CSC do not issue any updates ...you will not have them.
When you checked in sammobile you checked if your carrier / CSC had updates?
No updates on Smart switch

I do not have root or custom recovery. I have downloaded the firmware from sammobile and checked that the knox warranty is not tripped over and the device status is still official.

The BTU firmwares in the UK are not network dependent as far as I know and they come installed in unlocked devices with no network bloatware.
I do remember flashing the CSC (G930FOXA1DPLT - that's the current one) which came with the BTU firmware. The new CSC has updates (G930FOXA1DQB1).
Am I missing something or is the device still dependent on a network to approve this.
Do you get any error?

No, it says "the latest updates have already been installed "
I even had this issue on Android 6 so I downloaded the Android 7 and flashed it via odin. Now there are updates but I would like to get the OTA to update it.

Are these bug fixes for the country AND the carrier you are using

Yes the bug fixes are for this country (UK).
I am not sure if they are carrier dependent as it is an unlocked software (I am on O2 and there is a different firmware for O2 locked devices).
Are they still carrier dependent is the phone is unlocked?

Okay, in this case I think I will have to wait for O2 to approve them.
I thought the idea of having an unlocked phone from samsung is to use any sim and get updates directly from Samsung when they release it.

Hi
You get updates either by the carrier or by the CSC , in your case you have an unbranded firmware , BTU, so no carrier updates...you will get an update only when an update for BTU unbranded firmware is release it , independently if there are other firmwares newer than yours around....only way to keep updated to the latests is flashing it yourself any new release , check this thread if you deciede to go that way
Try to get your CSC code by installing Phone Info from the market : I too have flashed the first official Nougat BTU UK 7.0 firmware with Odin, with a complete reset of the phone, but in my case I still have CSC = ITV and not BTU.
This seems to prevent us from getting the new OTA update : somewhere I've read that after the Odin procedure I should have entered recovery and factory reset the phone from there to get the CSV changed to BTU as the installed firmware is a "multi-csc" variant.
We still can download today's new firmware from SamMobile and use home_csc to avoid resetting again the phone.
Hope someone more expert than me can confirm/correct my statements

I was wondering the same and SergioA is right. I still have the DBT CSC although I was flashing the BTU Firmware. Thanks for clarification

So my S7(Sprint) running on G930U firmware will go back to Sprint Nougat firmware full of bloatware?

The BTU has a firmware update available on sammobile but not it's not OTA update on my phone.
What if I download the new update and flash it via odin with HOME_CSC file added. Will it start the updates by carrrier?

My S7 DUOS FD and my wife's S7 F both recieved the Nougat OTA update DQB1 today, mine was originally CSC XSG (UAE) and mi wife's was CSC TTT (Trinidad And Tobago), and both were updated to CSC BTU Nougat Final release, changing the CSC to BTU (this will wipe out your memory in the process but for a newer OS version it is recommended). I had doubts about getting any OTA updates since my S7 is the FD version which does not exists as a BTU phone originally, but in the end I got the update.
Long story short, if you want to recieve OTA updates after sideloading firmware with ODIN with a different CSC, you should fully convert to that new CSC, otherwise you won't get the OTA's.

Hi
if you have a DPLT firmware you should get it soon.....unless your system by some reason is not set as original ( even if knox is tripped but your system is set as original you will get it) anyhow is faster if you download it yourself and flash it , use home_csc so you will not factory reset your phone , NOTE: has to be the same home_csc that you have in your phone right now , not any home_csc for example:
Lets say you want to flash the latest firmware and it happens to be from France and you do not want to loose any of your apps , config or data
1 find out what CSC is installed in your phone ( phoneinfo app is great for that) in your case BTU
2 download the latest possible firmware for your CSC and extract from it the home_csc file , save it , discard the rest
3 download the latest firmware available , in our example France , extract from it download the MAIN-file and extract AP BL & CP save it , discard the other 2 files ( home_csc and CSC from France firmware
4 now take AP BL & CP from the latest firmware ( in our example France) and take the home_csc from a BTU firmware ( why , because is the CSC installed in your phone) and flash the together
In that way you can always have the latest in your phone without waiting for it , phone will not be knox tripped , will be 100%official as is all official firmware
If your using the btu version for UK phones, then how did you manage not to brick your phone? The UK phones do not have snapdragon, they have the Samsung chips.

Thank you, you are a hero :good:. I did update via odin and installed it without losing any data.
As I have said I have previously (about a week ago) used the CSC file rather than HOME_CSC.
I have the Phone Info app, The Orignal CSC code is blank(is it normal?), Does this look normal as I have not checked the CSC before updating to android nougat. I have added a screenshot of it.

OTA Nougat UK

I have an S7 on MM, when are Nougat OTA's are coming to the UK? I don't bother rooting any longer but I am tempted to sideload if Samsung are going to take forever.
Depend on what s7 you have?
Edge G935
I'm on a sim only plan with BT so I own my phone rather than rent, I have spoken to BT who tell me its a Samsung OTA and they have no control, and Samsung merely tell me to to contact my Carrier.
Might end up sideloading!
It's already out. What CSC are you using?
Is the device network locked.
Can you install "Phone Info" app from play store and check which CSC is currently set as your active CSC. The CSC is the one based on which the updates are set.

I have the same UK firmware but with BTU. The difference is given below (Copied from someone on xda). https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/btu-xeu-t3100911
"I think i worked out the difference between BTU and XEU.
BTU firmware are on phones that come directly from Samsung (unbranded)
XEU firmware are on Sim Free handsets that are generic (unbranded) but not from Samsung"
You can now decide whether to wait for XEU or flash BTU. If you do decide to flash, backup data first and confirm that the active csc is set to BTU for OTA to work.

Is your phone direct from Samsung? Mine is Sim Free, unbranded not from Samsung.
Exu is Ireland band by the looks of it.

I brought it from ebay but I did flash the BTU firmware myself. My phone orignally had multi csc which included BTU and had a german (DBT) csc set as active.
You cannot change the CSC by device but you can flash a firmware with completely different CSC and then flash the BTU one.
I flashed mine with O2U firmware which made it forget the multi csc and then flashed BTU which set the active csc as BTU. I originally flashed the first nougat update release by Samsung and then received the performance update using OTA.
This might make it simple "You are not getting the BTU OTA updates because you don't have BTU CSC but DBT. You flashed BTU Rom but it's a multi CSC Rom and it has inside your original DBT CSC. So your CSC didn't change to BTU...If you want to have BTU CSC so you can get OTA upfates from BTU you have first to flash a rom that it's CSC is not inside the multi CSC you have now, let's say for example a rom with EUR CSC. Then you CSC will change to EUR. After that you can reflash BTU Rom and your CSC will change to BTU...Then you can take the OTA updates from BTU normally..."

Check post number 32, I added the screenshots over there as well.
There is http://updato.com/ as well if you want to download firmware faster (a lot faster than sammobile). I think they are official but have only checked one so far.
Backup the data first, flashing a different csc will factory reset the device.
That's what I kinda done I was on vodafone and preferred to be on btu so I flashed that instead but once I flashed it done wipe cache and data factory reset just to make sure all was ok on another note I kept wifi calling as well.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Firmware

Hi I have an unlocked S7 SM-G930F with firmware 7.0 (I Live in the UK)
Baseband version: G930FXXU2DRB6 Build Number
Build Number: NRD90M.G930FXXS2DRDI
When will the firmware 8.0 be available ota?
or what firmware do I need to download if I want to do it the manual way.
Thanks in advanced
In the UK right now only BTU and VOD have the Oreo so far, you can get the files from sammobile or updato
BTU version number PDA G930FXXU2ERE8 and CSC G930FOXA2ERE8
VOD (vodafone) has version number PDA G930FXXU2ERD5 and CSC G930FVFG2ERD7
and remember you need Odin 3.13.1 to be able to flash it

Flashing new (for me), Samsung S7 questions.

Hi all, I just recieved my phone and it works fine, problem, I am a Tmobile subscriber and the phone is a SM-G930A Ver. 6.01 marshmallow. I can't update OTA and some other issues. I want to flash to Tmobile and have downloaded these files as well as Odin, phone in developer options correct, etc. Will this work? I am also concerned about KNOX, should I be? Thanks in advance, a newbie.
G930TUVU4BQB1 - GALAXY S7 SM-G930T TMB USA (T-MOBILE) extracted with winrar.
Model SM-G930T
Model name Galaxy S7
Country USA (TMOBILE) (TMB)
Version Android 7.0
Changelist 10376601
Build date Thu, 02 Feb 2017 10:45:04 +0000
Security Patch Level 2017-02-01
Product code TMB
PDA G930TUVU4BQB1
CSC G930TTMB4BQB1
KNOX only trips when you flash custom firmware, so if you've got the stock firmware files it shouldn't trip KNOX, just make sure you got them from a reliable source (simfirmtool, sammobile, updato etc)
You should have 4 or 5 files to flash with Odin, AP, CP, BL and CSC (or HOME_CSC, which doesn't wipe data, CSC does, choose one)
You can't flash an older Android version on Snapdragon devices but you can sidegrade or upgrade, but since you're flashing from 6 to 7 it shouldn't be an issue.
