Just wanted to post up because I just got my S7e yesterday. It came from VZW with PH1 installed. I easily updated to 7.0 with the help of this thread. All seems to be working well.

Verizon has backed out if the beta it has been posted 2-3 times we will not see anything until the full release
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] junear:
I thought they backed out and will not accept new registration. This is a bad move by Verizon, not sure what is their rationale behind getting free testers. Hopefully Samsung gives nougat for unlocked users
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] runnerguy1987:
I know Verizon usually locks the bootloaders for phones released through them, but even my old Droid DNA (that didn't have nearly as many users as the S7 does, as far as I know) was able to get an unlocked bootloader eventually, so I assumed the same from a Samsung flagship, which is why I stated I should have done ore research about Samsung devices, and also mentioned that I knew how bad Verizon is about locking everything down.

Good info about the 3rd beta being unstable for the other carriers though, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Edit: Also, thank you for making this topic. Having 7.0 Beta 2 is better than nothing. I tried going back to the U firmware and rooting, but I really liked having 7.0 (and the battery life of a non-rooted S7 edge) so I'm about to go through the steps to get back on Beta 2. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
First of all, sorry if I sounded mean there.

Verizon backed out of the beta so we won't be getting any new updates until the official firmware is released by Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] hollovoid:
Strange, but I opted out of the beta because my work policies (its a work phone), and it seems I havent been removed from the database. The phone keeps bugging me to update, and gives no description of what the update is. If I let it happen (as I did on accident) I am right back on Nougat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] hondabomdc5:
Hello all. I'm in need of some help this evening with "Error in side load package, status 7".

I have a Galaxy S7 Edge on build PI3 with Verizon that is Stock. That build is the latest software update that I have received for the phone. I have followed the instructions and even watched a video done by DroidmodderX on how to apply this beta update to my exact phone but it failed every time.

A few things I noticed after attempting a few times. My build number is different that in DroidmodderX video and also in the very first post in this thread. With that said, that's Bc I'm a little late to the game and I guess my phone has updated since then and I have the latest build which is PI3. Also, I had a app called EZ Disabler downloaded on my phone with some stock apps disabled to save battery and to minimize bloat. After 2 unsuccessful attempts at this, I thought maybe having some system apps disabled could be the culprit. I rebooted the phone and enabled every single app on the phone like it was out of the box. I then tried again to apply this new 7.0 update and it still failed.

I'm still getting a "Error in side load package, status 7".

Can anyone help me with this? I'm at a point where I don't know what to do and I'm hoping someone has experienced this and could help. I would greatly appreciate it. I'm super excited about getting 7.0 running on my phone. Thanks for the help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] :
They work but you have to download the themes you want before you install the beta. If you don't it won't work.

Pre-purchaaed themes work after a wipe however they seem to revert themselves after a while.

Themes

So today i decided to check the theme store to see if anything has changed, since i think i did an update to the theme store app. And well there is now themes available to purchase and some to download for free.. there isn't a lot of them but, at least there's something to choose from to those that don't have access to another galaxy phone with a theme store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] aaronpw0621:
Not sure what theme store you are on but afaik 2.1.18-61101 is the latest available and can not download and install themes unless previously done before the update to beta. If I am mistaken then please share the apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
That is the version I have installed but I have themes available

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
What odin process? You will have to be fully stock to install this update. Root probably is not going to be possible.

Edit: Its also likely even if you odin back to stock to flash the captured update.zip still might not install in stock recovery.The install may have to be started from the rom

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

I edited my post, the you may have to redownload the update zip the captured one may not flash even in stock recovery. I will need the boot.img once the update is installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] sosjadd:
Boot, recovery, system img dumps would be ideal if possible. Just the system image alone would be worthwhile as the kernel can be built around it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
no we will need everything boot.img will have to be stock signed image since our bootloader is locked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I'll re download it, but once i install the update i understand i need root to adb pull the partitions.

Will i just need to try and use the eng boot to root the beta?

Edit: Would we not be able to use the boot.img inside the update.zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] sosjadd:
Ah I understand, sorry about that. I was trying to get the sys image since we are trying to work on roms for unlocked bootloader devices such as the 935U and 9350.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Everything we need will be in the update.zip with the exception of the boot.img, in the sprint update.zip the boot.img was nowhere to be found so either its we dont need a new boot.img which would be good news to us, or it is patched or it was lost when the zip was repaired.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
There is a boot.img inside the Update file, is that not usable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] twgreaves:
I appear to have two issues with the beta. Neither are serious, but I thought I would see if there are solutions.

1. I have a Verizon Extender (microcell). Normally my phones find it automatically. With the beta, the S7E finds it rarely. Another thread suggested turning Advanced Calling off and back on. That seemed to make it work once. I have rebooted the phone and the Extender multiple times, but no luck.

2. On previous phones the Verizon Visual Voice Mail used to show an indicator of number of unlistened to messages. This is gone now.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] junear:
I found an unique issue while moving back from Nougat beta back to A PH1. Odin worked fine, but while booting the screen was zoomed in. I could not see the entire page, but only a part of it was filling the screen. I suspect that in my Beta, I had changed the display to HD resolution. The PH1 version does not support HD resolution. I had to wipe data for fixing it.

Lesson learnt, you have to change resolution to max before moving back to 6.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] TheFoxyDrew:
Although this may be the issue, you should never go across Major OS changes (Marshmallow to Nougat, and back, etc.) without wiping data.

Quick question, one that I'm fairly certain I know the answer to but am just curious;

Can we (owners of the Verizon variant of the S7 Edge) some how get onto the G930FXXU1ZPK4* Nougat Beta firmware*in order to achieve root? I can live without root access just as well either way, the only thing I'm truly missing is adaway really. Coming from the rooted and Xposed firmware that the U ROM gave me, I am sincerely enjoying the speed and battery life of the stock Nougat firmware. Thank you, feel free to call me a clot or an imbecile, and happy new year!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] FoxyDrew:
Unfortunately, since the unlocked US variant didn't receive any Nougat Beta's, and we can't flash any G930F firmwares due to our phone having a different processor (and other reasons I'm sure), there is no way. And considering how lucky we got with our current root, it's probably safe to say that Nougat, for the US at least, will never see root. Then again, that's what they said for MM ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] thedrizzle:
I wish VZW would keep rolling out the updates...but since we all know how draconian they are about everything...

In spite of that, Nougat is awesome. I do wholeheartedly recommend you do a factory reset after installing the beta and update, though. This thing is like buttah, so smoooooth. Props to everyone involved in bringing this to us!

I am also getting error 7... have tired to different SD cards.. gave up on it.. Is it possible that the latest update wont let us flash it even by going back to PH1...? I was running the Beta.. and went back and forth a couple times.. doesnt appear to allow me to do so now.. any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Shatterproof313:
I actually just rolled back to PH1 last night and when I tried to flash the update I got the same error 7. I then thought to myself I wonder if I'm flashing the updates out of sequence (flashing beta2 first instead of beta1) I renamed them myself after downloading so that's why it was possible. So I tried again but this time in reverse. It went through perfectly fine, now I highly doubt that's the same issue youre having being that you've done this a few times already but I thought I would post this for the first timers that might make the same mistake I did and to let you know that the updates still work after rolling back to PH1 as of last night (12/27).
