How long after registering before everyone got the updates?

It's been about 2 hours and nothing yet, even though updates..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] JG96EVO:
Nope, vr is not working.

---------- Post added at 05:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

I was told that the beta program is closed now. They said everyone wasn't going to get it.

---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------

My video playback on Facebook IG YT and SC is smooth and problem free. I factory reset my phone after I installed the update and started fresh.

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

I'm using the Samsung members app, it let's you get info from others using the beta so it's pretty handy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Goat1378:
Having Youtube issues here but its hit or miss. Some connectivity as well I think. A little bit of weird notification stuff like icon still in statusbar for a short time after replying. Nothing Super crazy. Does anyone know the actual release date for 7.0?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
It's a shame how I can't participate in this beta. I just recently moved out to the country and currently have no Internet so I couldn't download the files to flash back to stock so I could register for the beta. And no one can extract the files so I guess I gotta wait till a official release
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] optimummind:
I registered yesterday around 5pm and when I checked for a system update around 10pm, it was available for download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] youngpro83:
I thought we could stay on Beta for as long as we want. I thought I read that in the FAQ when I registered.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BigMosley:
I had to sorta manually search for mine. What I did was went into the Beta app then immediately went into System Update and Search Manually for Update then it popped up. I never got a notification like a regular update I had to search for it.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

You are correct, I just read the FAQ section and it says we can stay on it until the official release, this is awesome.

I have a new friend, what should I name it? Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
I have tmobile and my wife is on sprint. She has the nougat beta ready to download on her device.

How do I capture the ota for you guys? I would assume I would have to flash the eng_boot for root first.

Would capturing the ota even be helpful?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] donc:
Working fine here after the update. Make sure you go into SamPay and pull the update down for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
Very helpful if you can capture the OTA. It would allow people to work on the rom and kernel. Especially people with unlocked/international versions of the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
I believe but not positive that if you download the update but don't install it then flash eng kernel and root without wiping any data then it should be in a temp folder in system folder but I will check for sure give me a few minutes ok?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
I'm surprised no one has tried yet. That's why I offered. I know you can't just grab the URL and download it, they block that. But if some tells me how I'll do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
Try this download the update but don't install it, connect to pc and look in root directory for a fota folder or cache folder it should be in one of those and I believe it's named update.zip and let me know...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
Ah, its easy enough to do with ADB LOGCAT.

Here is a quick guide on how to set it up. Root isnt required for it, just USB debugging enabled through the developer menu. There are ways of spoofing the device requesting the download that will allow the zip file to download with just the link alone. I think right now, no one has the link available to test and try. But its really simple to setup a device with the correct ID to bypass the download restriction.

http://www.androidsage.com/2016/01/21/how-to-capture-ota-update-url-for-your-android-device/

All we need is a link and the rest should be easy enough. Also, if you can get the file on the phone prior to installing it as [MENTION=4304370]jds3118[/MENTION] mentioned, it would probably make it even easier.

Either way, we can make it work. :good:

Sos
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
Oh I tried that awhile ago, couldn't find it.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

So I would have to after downloading it? Then try and find it? I'll give it a go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
Yes download it but don't install it or the install will wipe the data...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
Also if you have trouble locating the file-- update.zip is almost going to be 100% accurate as the file name. You can use an application called Root Explorer to search the / dir for the file rather than clicking on each location one by one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
LOL, if it's there I'll find it. I just thought once I rooted and rebooted somehow it might be gone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
Only if you wipe data but the way the US devices obtain root we don't need to do that lol. I agree with the root Explorer method might be easier to locate than using the pc...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
Anyone have the pj2 stock boot.img tar for Odin to restore after this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Duck Quan:
If you mean extracting it and posting it here, then yes cause I'd like a chance to download the beta

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Thank you guys so much who are working to get the beta uploaded. It's fantastic. I can't wait to explore it and help resolve any bugs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
Its easy enough to get. I can take the boot.img from the stock rom and make it a single flashable file for you if you want. Would save you having to download 2GB just to extract one file. Kitchen's are really good for this.

Just let me know the specific carrier and its done.

Guessing its sprint, ill get the file for you now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
Well it wasn't in the cache/fota or anywhere else in the cache folder. I'm currently using root Explorer to search for it. Which is taking awhile

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Found it

It was in /data/fota/update.zip..Not /cache/fota/update.zip.

I was just using ads shell to look around while root Explorer took tens years to search, found it before it finished.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Sym_Link:
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but you shouldn't need root to copy it from wherever it is to your SDCard using Root Explorer or even ES File Explorer.

I actually just did a test and I am able to copy anything OUT of /system, I just can't obviously copy TO /system without root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
You need root to get into /data/fota which is were it was.

Anyway, it's uploading to mega now. I'll post the link in little bit.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

It's cool I jsut download the whole Odin file set.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
Nice work! Thanks looking forward to checking it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
It's got 9mins of upload time left. I'll leave her phone rooted with the update on it. Jsut so some can confirm its all good to go, once they download it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] gettinwicked:
Will this work with Verizon? Or is it specific to Sprint? Also, can it be zipped to flash in stock recovery, as opposed to using Odin, which in my understanding causes data to be wiped?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Sym_Link:
OK, cool. I stand corrected. Thanks for uploading
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
Verizon should be getting nougat ota today. Jsut grab the ota like I did. It's in /data/fota/update.zip.

If you're rooted jsut a adb pull from that location will nab the zip.

Got a header error when extracting the zip. Might just be my initial download, let me try it again. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
You're probably right. I've never had the need, as someone has always done first. Be familiar with adb helps a lot. I just didn't want to root my wife's phone without a clear path forward and back. She would kill me if I f***ed it up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
Understandable lol happy wife happy life and all hahaha my download is almost done.

There has never been a more truthful statment. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
We may need a system dump instead of the ota if someone already running the beta has time to try a system dump let me know I'll give a link with instructions on how.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
should be easy enough to accomplish with superr's kitcken or adb. Either would work fine in this case. I am trying to modify the fingerprint at the moment to spoof my device to think its a 935P. Lots of fun so far lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
So you going to try and flash as ota?

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Has anyone running the beta checked to see if an update has been put out yet to fix anything yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
Hmm... I guess I should have d thought to try and extract it first. It won't work, it's encrypted.

Has anyone successfully tried to flash it via stock recovery?

I have to leave for work. If none one provides a dump. I will when I get home tonight. But I have to restore her phone for the time being.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
If you decide to install the beta here is a link to help get the system dump.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
I can try to modify the current build.prop on the phone to meet the requirements of what its looking for but it will be a lot of trial and error. Make a modification, test, repeat until it goes through, if it ever does.

I figure, if loading stock firmware for the 935 puts encryption in place and makes everything seem legit it would be a good starting point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
So were you able to extract it from the zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] BigMosley:
When I close all my active apps and try to open them back up via the Apps Edge the Apps keep freezing and force closing. Can anyone else see if this happens for them also?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
I know how to pull a system dump, thanks though. I won't be home until 11pm est and I can't do it now because the beta borks too many things and she needs it for work atm.

I'll check back later and no one has done it, I will.

It should work as long as you have a sprint S7 edge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
Luckily I have two phone to test it on. One cloning a 935P; the other im removing the assert requirements in the updater-script to ignore the fact that its not a 935P.

I was able to decompress the zip file completely, yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] billydroid:
Oh ****, how did you get it to extract?

Please, let us know how so [MENTION=4304370]jds3118[/MENTION] can take a look see at it and help everyone get up and running.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] sosjadd:
Simple 7zip extraction, ignoring the header error. Boot.img shows as 0 in size but thats expected. Everything else is there in tact.

Ideally a pull from ADB would be ideal, but this is all we have to work with at the moment. :)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzGWl9ZjrchbcHJTcmxZeVJkUkE/view?usp=sharing

This should provide 0 errors on extraction. I am still working on the asserts...

(whats not in that link)

Right now I have removed over 6000 lines of code so far of 'verification'. Lets see if we can brute force this to update the system dir. If it does, ill update the link shortly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
I got some funky folders on mine I think the download was bad I'll try again.

So the files that have been uploaded so far don't work because they are missing the boot.img? If that's so couldn't we just put it in the zip file and flash it or am I just saying noob stuff

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

The Mega file won't let me extract so I don't know if it will work or not? Or is it just the fact that it's an update file so I can't extract it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jds3118:
Almost the actual boot.img is 0 bytes so it's not it

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

The zip is encrypted you need to repair the zip with win rar

The file is corrupt.. make sure you uploaded the file correctly and you should be able to sideload. I tried verizion nougat update..zip file. it works perfectly. it move past it but fails to complete the process due to the device isn't the variant it is looking for
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] noobnl:
No don't extract the zip and you are wasting time by doing this. The reason why you can't extract content without repairing the zip file is because it is signed.

This is normal

samsung header and size of the file is 1600 mb

Samsung key

Start of zip

compressed flles

compressed files

compressed files

end of file

file size is 1600 mb

recovery checks if the file size matches the file size in header

This is whats happening as we speak

samsung header and size of the file 1600

Samsung key

Start of zip

compressed flles

compressed files

files size: 1550 mb

it checks to see if the files sizes are the same in the header. So the file size does not match it basically say footer is missing. what they mean by that the end of file zip is missing completely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] danweb66:
If we get a non corrupt update.zip will we need to be on sprint official rom. Or could we sideload from unlocked rom?
