[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] DylanTheVillian:
In my opinion yes. I can't flash any decent roms(no insults intended). So why not beta test, it's the closest to cutting edge I can get... But if you're not already registered you might not want to, it may be too late...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
I registered hours ago. Had the app for 2 days just waiting for it to go live.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] andrewNY:
I'm not sure exactly. Someone was able to capture the files for the international version Nougat beta, so I'm thinking it might be possible here too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] The Root:
You'd have to have root access to the cache folder the update gets downloaded to and the file deletes itself when the update finishes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] andrewNY:
How about capturing the URL that the update downloads from, (kind of how Samfirm is able to grab updates directly off Samsung's server)?

Here's the beta on video

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dogredwing1:
Wonder when there gonna start rolling out this beta? After midnight hopefully
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Root-Maniac:
Killin me over here lol. Probably after midnight...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
going to roll back to stock fw with no root, hopefully wont regret it. lol I love root, but that UI is the same as the Note 7 and it flowed so nicely on there. Phone worked how you wanted it to and did not even need to be rooted. hopefully thats how it is with this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Root-Maniac:
YEESSSS!!! Exactly what you said my friend!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
I got some of my co-workers involved in the beta too, lol they have been hounding me for more info. I cannot wait for this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dogredwing1:
The wait is killing me. I flashed the t-mobile firmware on my Att. Just for this!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Carlos Terán:
Have you flashed it yet? And if you could register? What version of T-Mobile do you have?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billydroid:
This is limited beta, only 6,000 in Korea got it. Then they closed it. So those of you un-rooting probably isn't worth it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tengtengvn:
If someone can do that, it would be perfect. It takes less than 5 minutes to set everything up:

-Install Anon proxy on a Windows box: http://anonproxyserver.sourceforge.net/

or Squid if you're a Linux guy.

-Point your phone to the proxy server:

https://adblockplus.org/android-config-samsung-galaxy-s3

-Run wireshark to capture the network traffic and share the pcap file so others can help find the direct URL.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billydroid:
Was it you who said you successfully flashed the tmoible update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
This is the initiative of the community, everyone helping one another. If someone can do this, great. If not, then we wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] The Root:
As much as I love the enthusiasm, aren't these ways to make sure Samsung never gives us a beta again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tech5:
what part of the file are we missing , i've not been on to much today ....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] omgbathtub:
I've gotten as far as repairing the "update.zip" file that [MENTION=5885134]tjthecat[/MENTION] uploaded to his google drive, but upon looking at the contents after repairing, it's missing the "boot.img" (kernel)

Is there any way possible for someone with the beta installed to get a copy of their boot.img? I'm guessing not without root :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tjthecat:
I flashed my phone back to tmo firmware from nougat Verizon and it downloaded

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

But; I was previously registered on T-Mobile software. So I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Sym_Link:
I wanna say that someone mentioned the same same thing about boot.img in the Sprint thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] kemar007:
Could I run the U modem on the vz firmware cause I need the unlocked modem to use tethered?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billydroid:
It's a signed zip. So that's why it's happening, I think. Buy no root no way to pull the image.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jds3118:
Use the Verizon boot.img
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billydroid:
Once it's extracted it's no longer signed. It will give a verification error. Can we flash this through flasb fire if rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] noobnl:
I think one of the biggest problem is that engineering kernel is buggy and will corrupt a large file is my educated guess.

Flash the engineering kernel, once you downloaded the update

adb shell chmod -r 777 /data/fota

adb shell chmod 777 /data/fota/update.zip

then go back to stock kernel image by flashing AP.tar in AP slot

then pull using adb pull /data/fota/update.zip update.zip

Wait wait wait....I'm confused..... We can flash the Verizon nougat beta for our T-Mobile device? If so...where is the download and how do we do it? If its already been answered....I apologize... Just point me in the right direction
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
This is what I had done, manual transfer and adb pull, both had same result.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] omgbathtub:
Would anyone be willing to share their Samsung account (after removing all sensitive information from it of course) and change the password after I download the beta? :laugh: :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tjthecat:
Wondering if the Verizon beta will register any account. Anyone want to test?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] VenomMOD:
Sure. I'll see if it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] 13JH:
im down
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] deanesn:
I am wondering how long it takes to get approved for beta. I switched to the stock T Mobile firmware so I can join the beta. I was on the U firmware which I loved. I keep restarting and checking my phone for updates. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tofu-:
you pulled after reverting to stock once you changed the file permissions while rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] harshal.rio91:
For all those who installed the beta, can you guys change the default keyboard I can't change it in the settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] omgbathtub:
I'm actually about to flash the Verizon N beta just to see if I can get data working. While doing it, how do you suggest I test if it registers my sammy account as beta approved, what-with the "server error" every time the galaxy beta program app is used?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
yes I can
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] harshal.rio91:
Are you changing it from General management --> Language and input??

Can you post your screenshot??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
First was done using root explorer, simple copy and paste, last was done after reverting to stock boot image then adb pull, and attempt to install. Errors both times. Either way, it failed for me. Someone else could have better luck

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

I use Google kB, so I activated that from the Google keyboard app then used PDP to disable the Sammy kb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] harshal.rio91:
Yes I tried that as I use SwiftKey Keyboard but shouldn't it be possible to change it from the settings as in previous versions. Might be a bug
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billydroid:
It is definitely buggy and has tons of issues with rw. I'll give it a shot when I get home. Which won't be for awhile. Im on the beta now. So I gave to flash back to pk1 and hope I get it again. I think I will.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] omgbathtub:
Don't you need root access to run an ADB pull though? I think that's the only flaw in the logic of pulling after going back to the stock kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Semi-Permeable Membrane:
It seems like I'm unable to install Galaxy Beta from the Verizon Nougat build. The app doesn't appear in the Galaxy Apps store, and when I clicked a direct link to open it in GaApps, it prompted me with an error saying that it was unsupported by my device. If you guys try updating to VZW Nougat in order to try and get registered, make sure you download Galaxy Beta while you're on VZW 6.0.1 and see if it sticks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
Yes it should be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nicklas18:
I went into language and input and went to virtual keyboard, hit manage key boards and shut off the Samsung. That's how I did what I needed. Not sure it'll work for others...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] koolboyztn:
if you was able to register during beta open time, then you should received your update by now but if you didn't then the registration for beta window is closed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] harshal.rio91:
Yea that works but there is no option to change the default keyboard to be used as it was in Marshmallow, well I submitted a suggestion through the Samsung Members app let's see if they fix it in the final version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] deanesn:
Crap. this sucks. I didn't know they ended beta. Wasted my perfectly setup phone. Well lets hope some can pull the update so I can apply it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nicklas18:
I think that is going to be the only option, Google keyboard are adding themed keys and I don't think the default one plays with that method. I might be wrong but everything I read is Google keyboard 5.1 compatibility...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] harshal.rio91:
Something like this: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/158966/how-to-change-default-keyboard-on-android-n
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] samatagana:
While the keyboard is open, pull down and select to change the keyboard... That changes the default. Am I missing something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] harshal.rio91:
Oops totally forgot we could do that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tjthecat:
Use the Samsung members app. Apparently the beta app is useless now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] samatagana:
The virtual keyboard is what selects the default keyboard...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Suzook1:
Says Samsung members app not compatible with my s7 edge....????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Semi-Permeable Membrane:
I don't think this helps either unfortunately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] samatagana:
Yeah, I'm lazy so I love shortcuts Lol they should label it as default keyboard in settings though, you're right. I'm trying to find something to submit a suggestion but I'm honestly very happy with this lol

Update: Was informed that the app just force closes, I'm going to leave it up just in case someone has time to decompile and look under the hood
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] travis82:
Nobody rooted nougat yet and pulled boot and system images so people can make roms and fix things up? Very surprised this has not happened yet. Nobody want's roms? So weird.....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] samatagana:
Dang, it was worth a shot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] susy1990:
People have tried. Apparently they really locked it down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] samatagana:
I wouldn't give up hope just yet, it may take some time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] susy1990:
I just wanted the update file so I could update my phone without rooting. That hasn't been possible yet. But yeah you're right, there's still plenty of time and really good devs who can figure this one out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] samatagana:
So at the bottom of Dev Options there are two options that are of particular interest to me...

1. Force allows apps to be written to or write to external. I had an issue with this on MM.

2. Force allow apps to be able to be resized for multi window.

Also, has anyone played the Nougat Easter Egg cat game? If so, has anyone experienced the embarrassing amount of excitement your first cat brings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] noobnl:
no, You don't this will give permission to pull from device because chmod 777 will give non root privilege access to pull from device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] omgbathtub:
Unfortunately being signed in on the Verizon beta doesn't trick the servers into thinking your sammy account is registered. I'm tapped out on ideas. I think it's time for me to go back to the U build until someone hopefully makes some progress. I'll stick around in hopes of it! I know someone has the brains to get it done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] kemar007:
Why not just download the Verizon nougat update.zip and install from recovery the thread link is in this thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
I know this has been posted, but has anyone actually tried to flash the engboot to the nougat update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tjthecat:
Don't actually know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
problem is we wont be able to pull the boot but we can dump the system
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] omgbathtub:
Heads up to anyone wanting to go back to U after trying the Nougat beta on Verizon, for whatever reason, it will not let me go back to the U build PI3 (Odin keeps giving me a PIT re-partition error) so looks like I'm stuck here on the T-Mobile build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] kemar007:
I went back to the U firmware successfully are you sure your oem is unlocked in developer options?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] omgbathtub:
Yep, OEM unlock turned on trying to go from T-Mobile firmware APK1 to U firmware API3, it fails at operation "Set PIT file"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] kemar007:
Try reboot PC and change where you plug-in your USB

Anyone who successfully downloaded the t-mobile N through OTA want to share their Samsung login via PM? I'd love to see if that would work. Been around for many years, i promise i can be trusted :) I have the latest tmobile firmware and the beta app installed, completely stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
not sure that is how it works, since it involves the sammy account it should also take into account the IMEI of the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nugzo:
Possibly. Only 2 ways to find out ;) 1- does any body have a friend or family member that they could try this on their s7e? Login their Samsung account with your info and try to download? Or 2- share with me and I'll try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] black96ss:
I second this lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
What samsung members app ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tjthecat:
Google the apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
from what I was reading, you can roll back to MM using smartswitch and redownload the update. I wonder if that would also work in capturing the url.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billydroid:
When you flash ap.tar doesn't it write the system as well?

If I flash the eng_boot and pull then flash pk1 ap.tar. The zip is always gone after it reboots and I can't get system updates and I get a weird error message in the beta app. I have to do a full Odin flash of pk1 with the CSC that wipes, not the home one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] noobnl:
Yup it does write to system.

So don't shut it down, use adb reboot download to get into download mode.. I think one of the major security check is to check if you are rooted then it will remove the file from system at shutdown.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] billydroid:
I never did shut it down. Jsut adb reboot download, then flash ap.tar. When it boots back up its all weird and the zip is gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] shahran:
Updated fine for me with adoptable storage. My sd card didn't show up at first but after a restart, it showed up.

Phone is much faster to me now. Also, my phone didn't turn into bomb from the heat when it was on the android is upgrading screen and went much quicker. Had something like 430...

Only thing missing now is the dpi setting? I had changed it on 6.0 but not sure how do the same scaling on 7.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tjthecat:
You can roll back with Odin, haven't tried smart switch, but that's what their software says.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] detwetter:
There is a dpi setting in Developers Options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] shahran:
I see that, but what was the number on 6.0?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] detwetter:
Oh, sorry, don't know. [emoji53]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
That one is also - it opens up saying thanks - but the Beta program is closed. Froze it for now - don't like that I had to allow it to transmit info to Samsung. I know I would have to be stock and unrooted to get it do anything - but think the closed door on opening it would still stand.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

Did you accidentally check the pit option in ODIN ? That would change them based on the CSC you flash.

OPPS - meant to ask the person kemar007 was responding below to who had a PIT problem:

There's a link in the Verizon N thread with instructions on returning to stock, it has the pit file for verizon.

I am trying to get to the bottom of the flashing issue. Can someone please make one post with all the available update files? I have one but I need to make sure it is valid against another different one.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] gaww:
I would guess maybe flashing the tmo modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] rawdikrik:
Hey man, can you post a link to the file you have? You seem to have the only version that is transferring without an error. There should be no personal information in the Update.Zip, so feel free to share it.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

Can you please re-enable your download? I am trying to verify the different Update zips against each other to see if i can find what is changing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
Try again. Should come up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] rawdikrik:
thanks. Did you pull this from a device or is this the same copy that is going around?

I am really skeptical of there being some sort of special blockage for the Tmo update. It is more likely that there is a problem with the file that was uploaded and we are all just trying the same file and getting an error.

If i am wrong, we will need 2 different sources for the update file so I can compare them and make sure they match. If they do, then we know for sure that the issue is with some verification.

The footer error we are seeing is common when there is a problem with the file itself. It is failing because a hash isnt matching, which is also common when there is a problem with the file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nugzo:
Sprint N beta users get the same error so i doubt it's a corrupt upload.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nugzo:
I've found a fix for MMS on Verizon N for ATT. I know this is the T-Mobile forum but a lot of ATT users are hanging around in here and using the Verizon N until we can get this t-mobile N working. The standard ATT APN will not allow data or MMS. This one does allow MMS and data..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] tengtengvn:
Verizon modems are pretty bad when using with other GSM networks. How is the signal with the Verizon N?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Chr0nicDreamz:
I pulled that file and upped it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] rawdikrik:
That's good to know. I can pull those too and try and find where the common issue is between them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nugzo:
I haven't dropped any calls. Hard to compare signals from work and home because i only had 1 bar with ATT at either location. if i notice something i'll post it.

Has anyone been able to use the VZ update.zip to flash over TMOs stock rom without being in the beta program? I guess what I am asking is can we use the VZ update and can we just flash the TMO modem through adb? Is there wifi calling on the VZ nougat update?
