Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930U not receiving any updates?

The US variant of GS7 SM-G930U has yet to receive any security patch updates! The security patch update is on May 1st on my phone. I still have a few days left to return my newly purchased phone so does anyone think G930U variant will ever get Android N or regular security patch updates at all? This is very disappointing! the fact that this phone hasn't been updated in the last 3 month and also the fact that there is a newly discovered flaw in Android devices 'Quadrooter' which won't be fully patched until the September security release next month worries me a lot! my sisters 4 year old iPhone 5 is still receiving the latest updates whereas my 2 month old GS7 has been forgotten by Samsung... I really love this phone I hope Samsung gets their act together and release timely updates.

I'm also frustrated with the lack of updates. Contacted Samsung about QuadRooter, but just got a generic response that they're "unable to speculate" about when patches will be available. I have no other complaints about the phone, but SW support is definitely disappointing.

I posted a question on Reddit and multiple GS7 and GS7e people are reporting having not received any patch yet.

Don't feel bad, my unlocked canadian s7 is on april's patch.

Just returned my phone. I will be waiting for the next Nexus to come out. I will only buy Nexus phone from now on since the updates come straight from Google without any delays...

August Security Update for the G930U has been released. Date is August 1st, 2016. Waiting for wifi so I can download it

I confirm that I also received an update which takes my phone up to August security updates and fixes quadrooter. I'm on Sprint

Awesome! Downloading it now. Thanks for the tip.
(I'm on Total Wireless)
Edit: Confirmed Quadrooter fixed, still no FM radio.

SM-G930U Updated!
Just received an over the air update to my unlocked US Samsung S7, model SM-G930U. Now listed as build number: MMB29M.G930UUEU2APG9. Android security Patch: August 1, 2016. It is on the AT&T network. Still registers as h+ for speed on the notification panel. Tried Speedtest. No improvement over last original stock build. I haven't noticed any changes or additions so far.

Unlocked S7 SM-G930U Updated
I had concerns that the 'major carriers' would leave us 'others' out in the cold.
Not so! My Lycamobile (T-Mobile. see: Wikipedia for this interesting story) phone has updated in a timely fashion, and without a hitch.
Now... A nice simple root? Anyone? Bueller?
Best wishes!
Sincerely!

Has anyone received any other updates after the August patch? I was not expecting this device to receive such poor support from Samsung.

Oh sorry, there's nothing beyond August update.

Didn't expect a carrier agnostic model to receive updates far less frequently than the carrier models. A bit strange as it seems like all they need to do is push it out with minimal changes to the carrier model updates. Maybe all of their resources are being used to put out fires related to the Note 7.
I have the August 1 security patch. According to sammobile, there was an update released on 9-28/9-29 (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930U/). Is that the same patch? Looks like it's the same thing. Didn't realize we can click to show expanded details.

Yeah, same here. Very sad that Samsung can't push updates without carrier intervention BEFORE the updates drop on said carriers.

My G930U had an update this morning. Brings it up to Sept Android security patches.
Build: G930UUEU4API3

When do people expect to see the Nougat update?

I read within couple of months of November, so January.

If I know AT&T, it'll be months after the "official" Nougat update for the LG-V10. Better to just assume it won't come, then when (and if) it does it'll be a great surprise

I'd rather have an unlocked bootloader, but that doesn't seem to happen anytime soon either.

Still no way to get root?

I thought I saw one thread with a rooted TOT, but I am not expert in this.
What the best way to backup and restore ? ADB?

LG is supposed to get it to the carriers some time in February, and knowing at&t it could be an upwards of 4 months before its released to us, so id say between April and July 2017.

If you are on lollipop, you can root and use titanium backup. And if you are on Marshmallow or have no root, you can use Helium android and desktop app in order to backup and restore.

Just picked up my V10 today and it's pretty installed

Out of curiosity, is the battery life better on the V20?
Also, is there a consensus on the best extended battery case for the v10?

This is a great battery / case. I have it and it works great. I would recommend a separate charger if you can because it seems the phone stops charging the battery when it hits 3,000 milliamps. So to fully charge the battery it seems better to use an external charger.

Enjoy!

A big update from AT&T is rolling out right now. My phone is now optimizing, so we'll see what it is shortly. Anyone see it yet?

Yeah, I just got the notification. Didn't see the size though. Accidentally dismissed it. What is it?

Nope - still 6.0, with a security update.

...the update specifically states it's a carrier update

When hell freezes over! AT&T wants you to buy the V20, hopefully someone can port it to us.

How to reset to stock rom/recovery and lock bootloader [Verizon]

I have a Verizon Pixel XL that I was able to unlock with DePixel8 back in the day but it's really become just more of a hassle having it unlocked and constantly dealing with OTA updates and worrying about flashing TWRP or just the hassle of it all in general.. I'd rather just let my phone do it's own thing without having to mess with it and especially since I'll eventually get a yearly upgrade I wanna be able to trade it in and get a newer phone someday.
Can anyone give me step by step on what to do so I can get it back to stock and locked boot loader again.
I'm currently on Android Oreo 8.0.0... idk if this changes anything? I know TWRP isn't working 100% or so it seemed when I looked at the Oreo thread earlier.

Can I just download the factory stock image and run the flash-all.bat? or do I need to fastboot boot twrp.img and wipe the system n everything 1st? also can someone tell me which image is the original stock image??
I see 7.1.0 (NDE63V, Nov 2016)
but I also see 7.1.0 (Verizon, NDE63X, Nov 2016)
I'm guessing I use the Verizon one? but I remember somewhere someone saying to use the one with the V at the end so how do I know which one to use for stock image?

There are probably some folks around here that would feel inclined to ship you a stock Verizon Pixel XL plus a couple bucks if they had the opportunity they missed to depixel8. If it were just the regular Pixel, I'd be all over it. Stock pixel is fantastic and by far my favorite phone I've ever owned, but there is an itch I can't scratch with it being locked.

The Oreo update for the H918 (T-Mobile) came out a few weeks ago.

Yeah, forgive me, I've been keeping my eyes out for updates on the T-MOBILE update and I knew it was coming but hadn't seen anything. I haven't really been watching the forums where I would have seen the posts about it.

i bought my V20 (H910) when I was still with at&t. Will I get the update, or will I have to somehow do it manually? Does my phone care about the difference? Does TMobile?

AT&T only sends updates over the air, and only if you are a current customer on their network (yea, super d**ks).
If you want to update your phone, you will have to root it. You don't have to STAY rooted, you can flash a stock Oreo zip.
Of course, this wipes your phone as well...

That's a great, detailed answer, thanks.
I'm interested in doing that, a few apps, specifically Spotify has been working poorly since Oreo rolled out for the v20, and I'm not sure if it's related.
I'm not 100% up to speed with this higher level android tomfoolery, I've flashed a new kernel to a Nexus7 for a car install, but that's it. Could I ask an extra favor, for you to link me to a good how-to on getting my h910 running Oreo? Some of the other writeups seem to be different variations. I must use the att software, regardless of my current carrier, right?

Rooting is no longer a point and click affair.

Thanks, I had read that post, and before talking to you, I wasn't 100% sure that it applied to my phone being on T Mobile now.
After giving it a closer read, that sounds like the kind of thing I'd try if I didn't depend on my phone as heavily as I do, or if I had a spare handy. just a tad too much ambiguity and the stakes are too high for my current life situation today.
Thanks again though, you thoroughly and clearly answered my question.

Question Anyone get the official One UI 5.0 update for factory unlocked S22 Ultra in the U.S. yet?

Been hearing that's it's been rolling out over the past few days in the U.S. but I still haven't gotten it. Just wondering.

I flashed my T-Mobile variant to the US unlocked firmware months ago & was on the Beta Android 13. I got the stable version a day or two ago automatically.
FWIW, I'm still on the July Google Play Store update, but, the other is on the current October (One UI 5 Stable).
Which month of the Google update are you on?

My official One UI 5.0 arrived earlier today along with the notice that the Beta program was ending.

I got mine two days ago. Verizon. Not super thrilled about all the notifications I now get. I'm running Beta Nova Launcher.

Havent got mine yet

I’m a Google Fi user and I received the official update on October 25th.

Anyone still stuck on the Google Play System update from July 2022?
I participated in the One UI 5 Beta program with US Unlocked firmware (originally a T-Mobile US phone).
I've been stuck on Google's July update ever since, but, as many of you know, there were several One UI 5 Beta updates prior to going stable, which is what I'm currently on (US Unlocked XAA)
BTW, Samsung tech support was of no help, they suggested I reach out to T-MOBILE.....
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

My S22U is on the A13 One UI 5 official release. My Play Store version is now 32.8.18-21 [0] [PR] 481699564. Prior to now it was July 2022.

Yeah, I'm on an even newer Google Play Store update (32.9.14)
....
But, in Settings > Security & Privacy > Updates, the Google Play System update is still showing July 2022.
@neilth
THX for the feedback, much appreciated.

I went to where you said for updates and my phone downloaded and installed an update and then rebooted. When it was all done, nothing had changed! The version and date, July 1, 2022, are all as before. Everything is working properly, so I’m not going to worry about it.

Same here..... I had what appeared to be an update & unlike most updates, it didn't even give a file size, just a prompt to reboot to finish the update.
Just as you are, not gonna worry about it much, just wanted to see if others had the same as I do.
Again @neilth, THX for the feedback, much appreciated!

I have a U1 unlocked and it says I am up to date on one UI 4.1
This is annoying.

Nothing yet. U1 unlocked on Verizon NVMO straighttalk. Usually get updates pretty late on unlocked.

I received the update from beta to stable a couple of days ago. I am unlocked running on AT&T.

I'm on beta 5 which is also BVJA. on TMOB and got no official update. Do I need to unsubscribe from beta to get the official update or just wait til TMOB gets it's act together?

No I wasn't. But I'm anxiously waiting for it because I'm still within the two week return period for the pixel 7 pro. I want to see the battery life improved on the Galaxy.
