Ok for those of you who have strange toast notifications and switches, as already said, you can wipe cache in recovery but before doing this you must put resolution to FHD, otherwise it won't work. Once rebooted you can switch to WQHD.

3 days on DQC4 and none so far. Phone always on during night. This is a common nougat problem with S7E, it often happens because of disabled packages. It used to happen to me after first nougat update then I found the culprit. If you have package disabler be careful.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] quaker1985:
As requested in other thread, is there any possibility to recover from bootloop after updating, without loosing data?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
Heres 4 options​ you could​ try

1.Wait 30 minutes to see if boot up completes (it may not really be a boot loop my S7E took 25 mins to boot after this weeks OTA)

2. Boot into recovery and clear cache then reboot

3. boot into safe mode and clear app data for all S8 apps you have installed (or uninstall updates for all S8 apps) then reboot

4. Flash latest full package for your CSC in Odin ( should not erase data)

If none of the above resolve your bootloop you probably need to factory reset in recovery mode

Thanks for the reply ... but I haven't disabled any packages and the last time​ i remember unscheduled reboot on Nougat was a day or two after the previous OTA in February. I can live with it if its just once and soon after after an OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] quaker1985:
Wow this time it worked thanks for your reply, taking backup of everything as it looks bit laggy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Djuganight:
There is a maintenance option somwhere in the settings to auto-reboot the phone from time to time.

Try finding this option and see if is active or not. Could be this.

Try boot into recovery and wipe cache.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] luismedina:
The issue with the toast notifications and switches is back, my phone rebooted randomly today and all was messed up, a cache wipe in recovery fixed it, but man, this update s***s big time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
have you ANY S8 leaked apps installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] salva_ilgrande:
Yes every reboot the problem is back, I've noticed too. Honestly, I don't know why but seems an issue with the resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] luismedina:
No, not a single S8 app installed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
no idea why you have repeating problems then.

i am on BTU and stable apart from one unplanned reboot overnight same day thw OTA update went in
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] r.albu:
S8 Launcher, BTU, S7 flat: everything's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] supercakefish:
Got OTA updates working again after just trial and error flashing numerous older firmware versions until it finally detected the available update.

However, a warning for everyone. I've noticed that the latest firmware DQC4 completely blocks the updating/downgrading of Samsung apps via APK Mirror. It constantly complains of package conflicts. This was not an issue on DQB3 (BTU) or DQB7 (XEU).

I have installed S8 apps on previous firmware. The majority are identical to S7 apps; some have the new icon style, others don't. The four with the most noticeable changes are:

- Touchwiz Launcher - the most obvious change. Pixel-like swipe up gesture to open the app drawer, ability to hide apps from the app drawer (finally!), and the ability to have all apps on the home screen à la iOS (essentially the return of the Galaxy Labs feature that was removed in Nougat firmware from the S7).

- Wallpaper and Themes app - this is mostly a complete redesign with more transparency within the UI, tabs moved to the bottom of the screen (as apps are increasingly doing on Android these days), and the search option is now a single tap away rather than being buried within the menu.

- Samsung Internet - seems faster than before (possibly a placebo), supports 'beacons', and the menus have been tweaked slightly.

- Samsung Music - the addition of a favourites tab, where you can create a playlist of your favourite tracks by tapping the heart icon next to the songs you want included.

It's a real shame that Samsung has blocked updating to the S8 apps. The Touchwiz Launcher and Wallpaper and Themes app see the biggest changes and they're much improved over the S7 versions. Samsung has also updated the Samsung Health app with the new wireframe icon style, which will look inconsistent with the rest of the system apps. I hope Samsung has plans to bring the new app versions to the S7, else it will be very disappointing considering they've blacked side-loading.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
There is no problem with the update, could be only some apps, I have s8 launcher, when update, and don't had no errors, no reboots.

Everything works fine.

S7 edge BTU
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] luismedina:
Yes, definitely it's an issue with the resolution, tried to perform a cache wipe to fix in QHD mode but it doesn't work, the resolution has to be set to FHD in order to work and fix it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Works in QHD very good is nothing wrong with the resolution.

I have always QHD and no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] luismedina:
Do you even know the issue I'm referring to? I know QHD works...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
I did some quick reading, I think it's all about the last update and some reboots. Isn't?

Sorry if if understood wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] luismedina:
It's the reboots, and also toggles in third-party apps and toast notifications are messed up when you change the resolution to QHD and the phone is rebooted
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
I never had reboots with normal firmware,

Only when I flash firmwares with differents CSC,

I reboot my phone always after charge 100%

Other than that doesn't notice anything wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Jose0726:
Any one else noticed that since last firmware update on btu you cant install S8 apps no more. I get app conflicts ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] luismedina:
Yes, it's a well known issue, you won't be able to install S8 apps with this update. Unless you're rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
I will uninstall my s8 launcher and install it again, to see if its possible.

Got the same problem. It cannot find any updates even there are new patches available for march. I've flashed BTU nougat 2 months ago but the CSC stayed on DBT. So I've got British firmware with German csc. Is that the reason I can't find any update even its available??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevica Smederevac:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Reshikrom:

Ive used BTU Nougat for the update and somehow still got DBT because of the multi csc. So I can't update via OTA cause of that. So I wanna do it manually. I'd like to upgrade to BTU April patch later this day but with home_csc. Is that possible without losing data? I don't care if I still can't update via OTA after that. I just want the bugfixes for.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kylothow:
I'm not sure, but the fact that SamFirm show the firmware could be a sign that we can get the full Odin package in a matter of one or two days.

Brief explaination: that error is the same you get when a new OTA is out, but the full firmware is still not on their servers, and usually is a matter of a pair of days before the firmware is downloadable.

BUT this could also mean nothing, as I'm not sure how that program actually works and therefore how actually it recognises when a new version is available.

As google saying always something different , is there an approximated time or date for 7.1.1 (or directly 7.1.2 can explain the delay) for s8/s7 that we can expect to be released? (I said s8 for ROM port) I think soon but 7.0 and then even 7.1.1 was expected in q4 2016 for s7/s7e so that's why I prefer real opinion in xda than articles on the Internet :)

My phone is still on 1 December 2016 security patch and on android Marshmallow 6.0.1.

There are no updates whatsoever and I check many times daily.

Any help?! Can I update the system somehow easily?!

Can I flash a rom via ODIN on top of this one (without having to deal with CSC mess) and without losing all my data?!

I already try that weeks ago, yes it's possible with marshmallow, you go back to MM, flash the firmware country we want then update to Nougat,

Because in nougat you can't do that, now it's multi CSC and it is always OXA CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Just to let your know you can change csc but without an reset you will not receive updates. You can check for updates but it will say that you have the latest installed no matter if new version is out for that csc you changed. So if you change csc and want updates do a factory reset.
