I mean when you click "when will I get it?" or whatever, it says on release date, 3/11 so I'm guessing they ship out prior..

Response from bestbuy cs said the 11th or the day after is *expected*. They dont know for sure or they cannot say, but most likely they just don't know at the rep level.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

In the past, now get this, they have said the get it by date is not when you get it, but when they get it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
I don't know if it means much, but T-mobile has started shipping pre-orders. Mine is scheduled for UPS Next Day Air delivery tomorrow. They don't have to wait to ship, but they won't give you a date before the release date until they actually ship it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
see, that's absolute bs. if you go to best buy right now on the website and check the phone, and clikc "see when you can get it" for shipping, it says:

Get it by:

Release Date, Fri, Mar 11 - FREE

Standard

See final shipping costs in checkout.

so that's plain english stating you WILL get it by release date, correct?

day after won't happen since it's saturday and they definitely aren't doing saturday shipping.

this is just annoying because it needs a signature they claim, so i need to know if i should take off that day or not, ya know?

*edit* FWIW, not that reps know too much, but i did the chat and this was the transcript:

Thank you for choosing Best Buy, my name is Abraham. How may I assist you today?

28-Feb 03:39 PM

good afternoon, i've preordered a galaxy s7 for verizon, and the release date is march 11th. now, when you goto the device page and click "see what you can get it" it states you will have it on release date, march 11th.

28-Feb 03:40 PM

is this confirmed?

28-Feb 03:41 PM

Good afternoon! That is great that you pre-ordered the new Galaxy S7!

I'd be more than happy to assist you with your questions. Yes, you will be able to receive it on the 11th of March.

28-Feb 03:42 PM

perfect, so since signature is required, i may have to take off that day as i don't know what time it will come

28-Feb 03:42 PM

so it's 100% safe to say that on march 11th, UPS will deliver my S7?

28-Feb 03:42 PM

That is correct, you will get on the release date.

28-Feb 03:43 PM

perfect! thanks for your help today, abraham

so who knows. maybe we'll be lucky!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
tmobile is always awesome with shipping phones early. wish best buy would too lol. i'm buying full price, so i didn't bother with verizon...and i know verizon always gets it to you on release date, but i've never pre ordered from best buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rdcamero:
The Note 5 was the first phone Verizon ever shipped early to most people.Got mine a week early.Hope that was the start of a trend of early shipping by them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] highaltitude:
I preordered, then a day later canceled. I wanted the free VR wear and the SD card but I didn't want to get roped into the stupid AT&T's 2 year $26 a month deal
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] scott14719:
Why didn't you just order the AT&T "unactivated" S7? It still comes with the VR and SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] highaltitude:
Hmm not sure I saw that. Must have missed it. Is that where you pay upfront full price? I think ultimately I want to see what the models are like when they come out. I currently have tmobile s5 with AT&T sim. May want to buy another tmobile if they're unlocked bootloader. The whole SIM locked phone idea has me wondering though. Ie first sim installed, locks phone to carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] contentryder:
Preordered mine thru bestbuy.com hopefully they ship early. T-Mobile is doing so. So anxious!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rosser725:
Best Buy Mobile employee here, the way pre orders are usually explained are that when you pre-order, there is a chance you won't get it on launch day but you WILL get it before someone that just walks in to buy it without one. I personally haven't seen many stores run out of pre-order stock.

Hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shadow82x:
Do you have any insight on shipping? Do you think getting it shipped to your house will get it there sooner?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rosser725:
I'm 99% sure (at least in my store) you can only do in store pick-up if pre-ordering in store. Haven't heard otherwise about online pre-ordering.

EDIT: The info I posted is for if you are doing it through a contract/installment billing. I think if you get an unlocked or T-Mobile (we don't carry T-Mobile contracted phones in most stores), it's different.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
thanks for the insight. I didn't pre-order in store, though. I did online. I was contemplating in store pickup until I read that there's a chance they may not have stock for all pre-orders... so i just did shipping. so any idea whether buying full price and getting it shipped should be here early? the chat rep said we'll have it the 11th for sure.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
I did the same as you. Paid full price and selected to have it shipped to my house. AT&T version. I went Best Buy over AT&T because Best Buy is typically better about returns and don't charge you any fee, Best Buy offered a free 64 GB microSD card, Best Buy is actually sending out the Gear VRs instead of just sending you a code to get one from Samsung, and finally, I had a $20 Best Buy gift card that I need to use lol. Best Buy is notorious for botching pre-orders, so I'll just be happy if we get it on or by the 11th. I doubt we'll get it early.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
well here's hoping they don't botch this. customer service wrote back to me in an email again explaining we will have it delivered on the 11th, so here's hoping!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
someone on reddit said that best buy customer service said they might not get the phone delivered until 5 to 10 days AFTER the 11th. wtf. they keep telling me it will be here the 11th. what's going on?! if i get it a week late, i'd be pissed too, definitely.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ti-force:
I pre-ordered a black, Verizon s7 and my card was billed last night. They do a preautherized hold until ready to ship, then they charge the card. I think it's very likely that a lot of people will have their s7's delivered on the 11th.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
yep, which sucks since I wish I just did in store and got it today. oh well. but my phone status changed to preparing for shipment. woo

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
Wtf? I pre-orded an AT&T S7 Edge from Best Buy for $795 (which has yet to ship), but I just noticed that the price changed to $695 on Best Buy's and AT&T's websites today. I'm wondering if I would be better off just going into a Best Buy and buying one today so I get the cheaper price and don't have to wait for it to ship. Only problem is, I won't get the Gear VR and SD card if I do that. But I'm wondering, if I left my online pre-order open and received the phone, Gear VR, and SD card in the mail, would I be able to return just that phone for a full refund and keep the Gear VR and SD card, or would they make me turn those back in to get the refund. I freaking hate Best Buy.

Edit: Wtf? Must have been a glitch. Prices are back up to $795 for the Edge on both Best Buy and AT&T. I'm definitely not crazy though. I know I was looking at the Edge pricing on both websites and it was showing $695 on both websites earlier. I double and triple checked because I couldn't believe it. Anyways, still wondering if Best Buy makes you give back the pre-order freebies if you return a pre-order after receiving it. Anyone work for Best Buy or know?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Crewville96:
The edge on bb is still 795

I pre-ordered my wife's S7 on best buys website last week, and just got the emails this morning that The phone, SD card and VR headset are ready to pickup today. So looks like in-store pickup works pretty well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ti-force:
Good deal! I'm glad to hear it worked out for you. Now some of the ones regretting having theirs shipped can try that method next time.

Pre-Ordered the AT&T GS7 for Delivery expecting to get it Friday. Got email from BB and UPS last night that it is scheduled to be delivered today. I can't to get rid of this crappy work iPhone!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
my delivery is today. idk how, but i got it overnighted somehow. it shipped yesterday afternoon.

Got mine today. Shipped via ups ground, signature required, of course.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

In my case, ups ground shipping is only 1 day from the shipping location and where I live. That's how I got mine today and it shipped yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
so, I didn't get the USB thing in the box and my box wasn't actually sticker sealed. was anyone else's???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ti-force:
I received all the pieces with mine. The sealed tape was not broken on mine. I wonder why someone would open it up just to take that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
I didn't even have sealed tape! when I opened the box, the inside box slid right out of the sleeve. wtf.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] scott14719:
That's the thing about best Buys (and probably some other stores as well), you can't trust them. It took 4 different people (6 if you include people they called) to finally locate my phone at my local Best Buys. When I made it very clear that I wasn't in a mood to play around, one of the guys finally found it...supposedly in a security locker that was supposedly already checked twice. If i would have caved and just said, "oh well I guess you guys tried to find it...", I'm pretty sure one of the people working there would have had themselves a new S7 at my expense. Sure, they would have got me another on in a week or two, but in the mean time someone would be helping themselves to a freebee. I have no doubt that one of the employees stashed it, hoping I would have just let it go. Luckily, when they finally "found" it, everything was in the box and not disturbed. But I don't think it had security tape on the box opening either. I'm guessing someone quickly looked through the contents, but didn't actually play with any of it. It would seem that Best Buys (in general) have very poor security and procedures. Hopefully, not all Best Buys are this way, but history shows that they are piss poor in security with their employees and potential theft.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
hmm interesting to note. either way, I'm going to have to goto the store tomorrow to check out the front facing cameras on the floor model. mine seems to be awful and isn't focused correctly. everything is blurry except whats in the distance. ugh. if i have to exchange the damn phone I'll be mad. I don't feel like f'ing around with that kinda nonsense.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Crewville96:
That sucks. Lucky for me i guess my local best buy is pretty decent.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
Mine wasn't sealed either, but I think it might be an AT&T thing and not a Best Buy thing. I'm guessing Samsung shipped phones to AT&T unsealed so that AT&T could insert their SIM card and an extra AT&T piece of paper in the box before forwarding them on to retail.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
oh you think? maybe that's it then bc a verizon sim was pre-installed in mine too. so perhaps that's it.. maybe they just forgot my little usb thing ? lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ti-force:
What I find odd is that mine is also Verizon, but has security tape. The tape states to notify the shipper if the seal is broken. I'm not sure what you should do in your case since there's no security tape.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
oh no I'm sorry, my package did have that. what I meant was the actual s7 box, there wasn't two little plastic stickers sealing it. if you watch unboxing videos everyone always has a knife and slices them then the box slides out of the sleeve haha. mine didn't have that.

[HTC Tornado] mathfreak:
I was trying different roms because I was having wifi problems. I know, I know, it's stupid and dangerous as I found out. I was trying to flash it when it got to about 10% and then had an error. Now whenever I try to turn it on or even get to the bootloader, I just get a gray screen. The only way I can turn off the gray screen is to remove the battery since it doesn't respond to any buttons. Time to ebay it for parts?

Edit: I forgot to mention that it's a T-Mobile SDA.
[HTC Tornado] jacknjill:
Most likely your phone is a brick just like mine....grey screen of death.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
You can only JTAG now, well. If you manage to JTAG it, we will all salute you.

I have no idea on doing this, but you need to open up your phone to find the flash chip. Then, based on the part number, try to Google it up and see if you know the JTAG point. Then connect the points and flash the bin file in.

Good luck. You might want to consider FCC documents on HTC ST226A for pictures and documentations
[HTC Tornado] grandmaster_b:
Let me guess format instead of format BINFS ?
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Yeap, it's time!
[HTC Tornado] mathfreak:
Well, it was a fun week that I had the phone. Fortunately, as a grad student, I have an incredibly high salary and can afford to be a total moron with expensive equipment.
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I've been in your place. I've had it for just 2 days before I flash a Hurricane ROM and brick it! Thank God I was able to sell it for spare parts, saving a few euros for my next Tornado :). BTW, I'm a post-graduate student with no salary and expensive equipment, too! :p
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Dude, before you sell as spare parts. Try to JTAG it first
[HTC Tornado] mathfreak:
Wouldn't that need special hardware, though? I mean, finding the chip shouldn't be too bad, but that sounds like I'll need something to connect it to my computer.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
You need to make it yourself. Just some pins to serial port. Then I THINK you flash it using teratermpro
[HTC Tornado] mathfreak:
Alright. I'll see what I can hook up. I found some guides for making JTAG cables for debricking wrt54g routers, so I'll try and adapt one of them. I'll stop by Radio Shack or something and get the parts I need.
[HTC Tornado] mathfreak:
Alright, I was looking up some more things about this JTAG stuff and it looks like I'll need a bootloader image. Does anyone outside of HTC or a service center even have access to that? Do I actually need that?
[HTC Tornado] mathfreak:
Okay, I opened up the phone and I learned two very important things:

1. The flash chip is located under a metal plate that I have no idea how to take off and don't plan on trying.

2. When you're putting the chassis screws back in, if you turn the screw too much the head will snap off, leaving you completely unable to reopen the phone.

So, to sum up: I can't get to a flash chip to even attempt a jtag thingamabob and I can't open the phone or even really sell it for parts.

The moral of the story is simple, don't be a complete moron like I was.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Since the phone is a total toast, why dont just try to take off that metal plate? When I browsed through FCC documents on the hardware internat pics, I don't see any metal plates.

Do you consider those IPL and SPL bin files are bootloader image ?
[HTC Tornado] mathfreak:
Because of reason number 2. I can't open the phone at all. I guess I could use some force to open up the case. We'll see what happens this weekend.
[HTC Tornado] jacknjill:
I have not read anywhere that someone used JTAG to actually fixed the SDA. Maybe you can buy the main board and replace it. I hate how HTC repair shop charges $65 even if they can't fix it. It is like throwing more money into this brick.
[LG Watch Urbane] jmk32:
Been making tons of watchfaces for my LG Urbane ever since getting WatchMaker app as I was tired of buying watch faces that didn't have everything I wanted on them - like to have all pertinent info at one glance - watch and phone battery, weather, step count, analog and digital time, date and day of week, on an attractive watch face. So I've made literally hundreds over the past few months.

I've seen people posting tons of watch faces on the Moto 360 forums, but not many on the Urbane forums (guess there's a lot more of them than us), so I wanted to see what you guys thought as I was thinking of putting some on FaceRepo (put my first one on today, and possibly looking into getting some on Google Play perhaps too (original ones, not the altered name brand ones))...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Or Cun:
Has anyone the stock radio.img (or something else)? My radio changed with a custum rom to 4T.xxxxxx but as far as I remember mine was originally 4A.xxxxxx . I need the one from the latest version (7.19.401.51).

I am pretty much full stock again but only the radio bugs me.

Thanks for every reply!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Flashing custom roms doesn't change your radio. Unless it's a guru reset Rom. But then it is an option during the installer and will always be the correct radio for the Rom.

Also 4A.xxxxxx are the older radios the latest ones start with 4T.xxxxxxx. Where are you reading your radio version from? In Android Settings? or with fastboot getvar command?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Or Cun:
It stands in the bootloader and yes it was a guru reset.

So, you mean that 4A is just older then 4T and everything is the same, right?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok so what are your reasons for going back to stock. Warranty? OTA updates? Or you just want your device stock?

I ask because your device is s-on with lollipop firmware. If you want to claim on the warranty you need to be s-off.

For OTA updates or just because you want a stock device it's just a case of flashing the correct Rom or RUU. If you've flashed a JB stock reset that will be no good as your firmware requires a lollipop Rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Or Cun:
I just wanted the stock firmware. I flashed the 4.3 guru reset back in 2014 when it was not as old as it is now. And there was nowhere a ruu with radio 4A. and the next best one was with 4T.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
In which case I would just flash the lollipop ruu. It will set your device back to full stock firmware and rom. You g can download the RUU here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960689843

You will need to relock your bootloader because your s-on. Ànd backup any important data as this will wipe your device. Then flash the RUU with htc_fastboot. Which you can download here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031

Download htc_fastboot and the RUU. Copy both files to your existing fastboot folder and rename the RUU zip file to something simple. e.g "ruu"

Boot your device to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Then relock your bootloader and flash the RUU with the following commands.

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Wait for reboot

fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

The device will reboot during the flash, and the progress bar on the phone won't quite reach 100% that's normal. Wait till the command windows competes it's output with a successful message then

fastboot reboot

That's it you now have latest stock rom and firmware. You can unlock the bootloader again if you want by flashing the Unlock code.bin the same as the first time and flash twrp recovery, or leave it as it is in stock condition :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Btw, when looking for a RUU, radio versions are irrelevant. You want to find a RUU that match your version-main. All 7.xx.xxx.x versions now have the same 4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L radio version so if looking for a RUU using the radio version, it will bring you tons of RUUs and only one of them will fit your phone, that one Danny201281 linked above.. :good:
