Hey all just received a S6 active(ATT) using the phone in Canada so I was unable to update using phones software currently using 5.02 using odin I tried to update directly to v18 - 7.0 - G890AUCU6DQF1 which has now locked my phone on opening screen with no way to power down or anything else.Odin said it was a success but I am now realizing it wasn't a full nougat firmware update. Any ideas? Thanks Jay

Sorry, but I have no chance to download the files. I always get the ERROR. Same with the download managers.

Does someone have an alternative download page / server??

I need to update v2 & the rest, cause I have 5.0.2. - WITH ROOT ;)
[Galaxy S6 Active] Tracy57:
Really? No other download server?

Too sad, guys
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
You can use Option 2 to flash v18 directly, and then the alternative links in Option 3 to sideload to v20.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Tracy57:
Thank you for this information.

[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Yes, that's right. Just download the file from Option 2, unzip it and use the files in Odin to flash v18 directly.

I should warn you that you'll loose your ROOT and there is no root for Android 7.

Try flashing v18 with Odin again. If it doesn't help, try flashing one more time. Since it's a Success it should work.

Yes, you can flash v18 directly with Option 2, and then use Option 3 to sideload v18 to v19, then v19 to v20. Your phone will remain unlocked.

No, once the phone is unlocked it'll stay unlocked. Only if you send it for repair and they change the motherboard of the phone it'll be locked again. Or if the phone has any unpaid bills to AT&T.

There are many languages in Android Nougat including Russian and Ukrainian.

What's the problem with your phone? Did you do something, did you install something, did you drop it, what?
[Galaxy S6 Active] Tracy57:

Update AT&T S6 Active to Android 7.0 Nougat Fast

I had been clearing the Google Framework data and updating from 6.0 with a Security Patch of 12/16 one at a time, a day apart, to allow for "settle" time which seems built into successive updates, however a Live Chat with Samsung Customer Service accessed my AT&T account then forwarded the OTA Update to Android v. 7.0 (Security Patch of August 2017) directly to my device.

Vol Down + Power will make it restart, but freezes at Samsung screen.

It WILL go to Download screen (Vol Down + Power + Home), hooray.

Just found QK1, QK2, and QK3 up on AT&T servers. It's U6DQK3, not S.

Also: 390MB so its not just a tiny security patch.

December 1, 2017 Security Patch
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
It's not yet listed on the official AT&T website so it must be beta versions.

If it's Android Oreo beta I'll put the links right away but you would have noticed if that was the case so I guess it's Nougat. In that case I'll wait until they made it official because beta versions are changed too frequently and it's a pain to constantly update and wipe the phone.

when it boots into recovery after the install hangs (at 32%) at the bottom it says "Failed to verify for dmverity hash tree"

[Galaxy S6 Active] Tracy57:
Hey there.

THANK YOU. It works prefect for me. On a MAC! I made it under parallels (11.2) and Windows 7.

Some hints:

- The updates v18-v19 did NOT show Android 7.0.1 in the phone.... BUT Android 7.0 and the right build nr. G890AUCS6DQ G1, H1, J1

- I had to restart the process always complete new. (as it is described under troubleshooting: "-> Try running ADB as administrator. To do ..."

- the little android guy in the recovery felt and showed a yellow triangle, but only for some seconds. Then I saw the list.

- I prepared the PC with command line as explained. Then I put the mobile to the recovery mode-adb thing and then I just had to start the adb upload with the ENTER button.

All worked well

My S6 active is still on Android 7.0.

but baseband is G890AUCS6DQ J1, buildnumber NRD90M.G890AUCS6DQJ1 and safetypathch Oct 1, 2017

Now, I hope I have the correct version
[Galaxy S6 Active] Tracy57:
Is it or is it not updated?

He there,

I have updated my phone to v21 - 7.0.1 - G890AUCS6DQJ1 with option 3.

BUT as I wrote before, the device shows "Android 7.0. " in the preferences. (and G890AUCS6DQJ1 as Baseband/built)

How can I can find out, if I have the actual version?

The restart options menu, f.e. is NOT working.

:eek:

And

by the way, is there a root for the Android 7 version?

:fingers-crossed:

I am attaching the screen shot any quick suggestions.
[Galaxy S6 Active] s0ul_ali:
Finally got the solution and I think its worth sharing, issue was that Odin wasn't moving @ 90% installation, I checked for 45mints and noticed its on halt state, then I disconnect it as Odin got stuck on 90% it means most of thing has been installed and I can access download mode again. I changed the cable and run Odin, got hanged on same state, then I downloaded anther lower firmware result was same, then I changed the laptop with Windows 7, again same result, in the end I change Odin3_v3.10 to Odin3_v3.12.3 and it finally worked. Got 100% PASS result and the phone is finally alive again on new firmware. One more important thing all the time I kept my phone connected with laptop for almost like 1 day so the Battery get charged (disconnected the phone from laptop so 1 hour/2 hours).

I've literally just bought a Samsung S6 active in the UK. Boxed and sealed. Ran the imei and serial numbers by Samsung and it's a new handset and not been used. It updated to Nougat via an OTA and seams fine.

I haven't yet put a SIM card in yet though as I forgot my current one is only a micro and I need a nano but don't feel up to slicing it. But my network have popped a nano in the post so should receive it tomorrow.

Motherboard?

Boss has seen me always tweaking on my phone's over the years and decided to give me his to look at...

According to him the wife was home and took the update while on WIFI, but walked out the door before it completed. It kicked it into boot loop at the S6 active screen. Again according to his account of how it ended up in its current state.

I can get the phone into upload mode only, and load files through ODIN with no issues. Always get "PASS" but when the phone should reboot it hangs at the active screen.

I know a few things (only because of more intelligent ppl on this site) but I am stuck. After more reading I seen a few talk about a bad board but just seems extreme if Boss is on point with his story.

Again I can only get into download mode and ODIN will load and pass just about anything i can throw at it, it will not go into recovery and will not boot past S6 Active screen. longest time was about 8mins of holding the appropriate buttons. Cramped hand couldnt take anymore :)

Anyone have a great thought they could share or is it time for him to upgrade. Normally if I can get Odin to work I can sort any issues by a couple of quick searches on XDA.

Thanks again for all the help over the years. This is an awesome community!

SM-G890A = phone in question

I told him to get the new NOTE8 -- its beautiful now thanks to XDA

OK I see he's not the only one, curious if the other guys had similiar issue in causing the loop? [MENTION=4828406]atxhardrocker23[/MENTION] [MENTION=7460444]sslavik[/MENTION]
