Hi all,

Just abit of update (although not that confirm yet, so please take it with a great pinch of salt), the S6 series will get the Oreo update, although the time frame was not confirmed.....

WARNING: This version indicates a new bootloader version 7. You might not be able to flash to anything using an older bootloader after flashing this.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lohtse:
so not the same boot loader that was introduced with Android 7 Then????

if not this could possible be an indication of a future android 8 release..... THAT IS JUST AN OPINION THERE IS NO EVEIDENCE SO DON'T QUOTE ME AS SAY IT IS HAPPENING
[Galaxy S6 Active] Ultima99:
You make a good point. See my image where bootloader v6 was introduced on the last version of Android 6 a month before Android 7 was released.

Of course this doesn't mean we're getting Oreo, but it's also true the last time we got a bootloader update we got Nougat a month later.

Update without wipe?

Hi. I’m currently on v20 (QH1). Previously the Option 2 (Odin) was supposedly able to update your phone, without wiping everything.

Now with v23, it seems that both the sideload and Odin will wipe the whole phone. Is there any way to update, without turning my device upside down?
[Galaxy S6 Active] lohtse:
never managed to flash with out wiping the phone so am unsure how you did it before... back up using the samsung app (smart swith) and then restore when you have flashed the phone. Only option I have found to work, well sort of as NOT perfect.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Nestorpl:
Dunno. Maybe I've just updated it to the max when I got the phone late summer last year.

I remember even trying to flash it without the AT&T CSC part (I'm in europe), but that didn't go too well.

Hi guys,

I just updated my S6 active from 6.0 to 7.0.1 with v23 via Odin. That is prety cool one. However, I have trouble with calling answer somtimes. When I try to slide to answer the calling, my phone still ring then there was a miss call. Is this normal one? How can I fix this?

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

@lirex

You write for OPTION 1 Sub4

" 4.) Allow your computer to install any required drivers for your device. The process may take a few minutes."

I use Windows7 under Parallels on a OSX 10.11 system and I have no idea , HOW I can allow my computer to do that.

Pls help.

:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Hi, I'm using Samsung's Smart Switch to backup my data. It saves almost everything - pictures, texts, phone settings and etc. You'll see a full list of the backup options inside.

However you'll have to manually download some of the files from your phone. App's data is also not saved which means you'll get the same apps back but as if they're installed for the first time.

As for your second question. Allowing the computer to install the necessary drivers simply means wait for a couple of minutes after you connect your phone and windows will install the proper drivers by itself. No special action is required. Just plug the phone and wait for Windows to recognize the device.

I updated my S6 Active from Android 6.0.1 to Android 7.0.1 and right after that I got two problems. The first problem is very long delays trying to make calls. It takes about 1 minute before actually placing a call. Text messages and the internet work fine. The second problem is much more serious - other people can’t call me, because my phone doesn’t receive incoming calls and people hear my voicemail. The Factory Reset did not help. My S6 Active was unlocked by AT&T and now I use a T-Mobile SIM card. The current installed firmware version is G890AUCS7DRB1. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Do I lose my guarantee if i update system to nougat in those ways?
[Galaxy S6 Active] lohtse:
Simple answer is yes.....
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
No, you'll keep your warranty as you're installing original unmodified software by ATT.

You'll loose warranty if you install custom recovery or root the phone. Both are not possible atm.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lohtse:
Actually will depend on the seller..... If it is ATT then NO you would get the updates OFFICIALLY so no issues but most other sellers would say that this method will void you warrantee. Try asking sellers I did and of the 9(4 on ebay 5 on aliexpress) I asked only ONE said it would not be an issue... ALL the others said it would..... Really is hit and miss so I would advise you ASK seller in case something does go wrong.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Two questions pop up when reading this:

1. How will the seller know if the customer did it manually or the phone did it automatically? You can always say you've been to the US for a week, got a prepaid ATT sim and the phone updated automatically. They can't prove it wrong.

2. The official warranty is carried by Samsung and the seller doesn't matter. If you're talking about unofficial warranty by a local seller then I guess it's important to ask. However question 1 stands here too. :)

Bootloop

So... I had some issues with updating my phone and now it's in a bootloop. Since bootloader is locked these firmwares are useless because my phone has newer version of software and downgrading isn't possible, and Smart Switch shuts down the moment I enter phone serial number. So, can anyone give me G890AUCS7DRD3 or G890AUCS7DRE1 firmware? (Not a sideload though. An actual firmware flashable with odin).
[Galaxy S6 Active] Gnommes:
Hey mate,

Same happened to me once trying to sideload the G890AUCS7DRE1 file.

Successfully resolved this issue by downloading v23 firmware file (from Option#2) and proceeded with "If the sideload fails, your phone goes into bootload cycle and in Recovery Mode you see "dm-verity verification failed..." step from Troubleshooting Tutorial (bottom of the OP). Worked fine for me, so give it a try.
