I'm running Windows 10 and I keep getting a "cannot read" error while trying to sideload. I assume this is a file size error as any other (smaller) zip packages are sent to the phone without any issues. Does anyone know what I could try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] goldebae:
Believe it or not, the first time I got this error, I knew Status 7 was a modified /system error or unknown device (prompt to the rom being installed from recovery)... and I also factory reset from Android Recovery, and it did not go through, but redownloading now.

Has the galaxy app store been removed? I don't see it anywhere.

Don't use ADB.

Just use Windows explorer and put it on a folder called fota in your sd card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] goldebae:
UPDATE: Still giving me the same error, considering I redownloaded the update.zip. I'll try to sideload through adb... smh.

Nevermind... I'll just idk... wait for the official release I guess. this error makes no sense to me and why I'm the only one really frustrates the hell out of me.

Seems to have been. You can still access it by adding the Galaxy Essentials Widget then hitting Galaxy Apps at the bottom after opening the widget.:good:

Hmm that's disappointing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] pattriccio:
What i did was. Forceclose and clear cache and data of galaxy apps from settings/app manager/show system apps then reboot my device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mademan420:
Trying to go over the issue you are having and just wonder, are you doing this from an ext SD card or internal memory? If it is external, may try formatting it then adding the folder/file back to it. Just throwing out a few ideas... Good luck:good:

It doesnt show up for me in the app manager even after hitting show system apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] tu3218:
How can you clear data if the app isn't installed/not showing up? Or does it show up, just not working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] pattriccio:
it shows up on my application manager just click show sytem apps then look for galaxy apps

maybe try to register first your samsung account.

I'm not sure what happened, but I think the beta is using my network data instead of wifi even while connected. I've somehow used half a gb of data since updating, and I've been connected to wifi the entire time. Both icons are white instead of the data icon being grayed out when wifi is usually connected. How can I fix this? I don't have the "mobile data always on" setting in developer settings, so that's not it. I'm not sure what else I can do. Any advice? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] DarkWaveZ:
Guys, I redid the the install but this time I factory reset. It fixed alot of problems. Galaxy apps is now back in app drawer. Bit goodlock still freezes. It's probably because it's only designed up to 6.0

No luck... Formatted the SD card within the settings and still no luck... I'm not sure if the type of SD Card matters... it's the Samsung evo+ 64gb or something, if I can remember correctly.

I flashed PH1, did the setup wizard, then put the file onto my sd card in sdcard/fota/update.zip and tried to apply update from sd card from that folder, and no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Justinphxaz:
Sprint's Beta OTA is supposed to drop on the 9th (approximately), Verizon's OTA Beta should be pushed on the 11th and T-Mobile's OTA Beta should be pushed on the 14th. Hopefully it gets pushed slightly sooner, maybe sometime tomorrow for Verizon beta testers instead of the 11th.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] steelersmb:
I see this now as well. However, my phone has always had an issue when going to system updates. It always says "Software update temporarily unavailable". I always have to update through my PC using the Verizon update app. Not sure this will work with the beta and I'm not sure how to get the update working on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] rizzo269:
Looks like Sprint users started getting the OTA and installing. Initial feedback seems promising for beta software.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] A_N_D_R_E:
Seems like the OTA was essentially a day late, they started late in the evening of the date provided in the Beta app.

We may have to wait until early Saturday morning to see it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Haz3:
The suspense:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] j3ffm1ll:
:DI hope that I get picked :eek: as I flashed back to stock but if I get the Beta it will be worth going to stock:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Justinphxaz:
Try going into your phones settings, open the application manager, make sure you enable show system apps and find 'software update' and 'system update' and clear the cache for the both. That should allow you to check for OTA's again and not receive the temporarily unavailable message. Hope that works for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] steelersmb:
Thanks.....at first it didn't work but I tried again and now it's working!

Well I'm done with samsung. I installed the app around 9 am eastern time on November 9 checked constantly . Then went to work on my break around 3 pm i check again and its full. What a joke samsung. Before that i had to go to stores a few times because they messed up with note 7 lost my personal time. Time for the new iPhone 7 plus
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Justinphxaz:
Nice! Yeah I forgot to mention try restarting the phone after that, usually that will seal the deal lol. But I'm glad to hear that it's working for you again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Once it gets released, I'm sure it'll get uploaded then you can just flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] axeldiks1:
Yes but I'm tired of that bullcrap from samsung . I should spend my own time again because they keep messing up things?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] steelersmb:
Now it just sits there checking for an update so not really sure if it's working but at lease I can get to that menu now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Justinphxaz:
It's possible they may open up more spots if you email galaxybeta@samsung.com. There are quite a few emailing them asking about it, the more who ask, it's possible they might budge and open up more spots.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

Yeah that's good. It should be working, the beta for Verizon won't be released until tomorrow. Were you able to successfully register for the the beta? If so, you should be able to pull the OTA tomorrow.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] goldebae:
I'll give it one last flash (without the pit file of ph1 (I'm using the same firmware from misterxtc post). And I'll get back...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Snakehn:
Full stock Verizon edge here, installed the update from recovery and used Samsung pro 32gb as, no problem at all, update looks nice, a little too much white palette to my taste, one complaint so far, all system notifications are labeled system ui, Android system etc, looks kind of annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Your right people having trouble should try this method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] axeldiks1:
You don't need fota folder . Install your sd card and and make sure folder named android is in there. Then just put zip file without any folders
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] goldebae:
I have no idea what my issue was... I think it was because when I first flashed PH1, I also included the PIT. I have successfully updated to Nougat 7.0. I reflashed PH1, like I normally would using MisterXTC's odin. And then repeated the process. I'm fine now. Thank you everyone who helped me with the process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
If any additional beta updates are released we will probably not be able to update manually as we will have no way to pull the update.zip from phone without root so if the phones dont receive the ota then we will have to wait until official release
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] axeldiks1:
It's still questionable especially if phone shows the new firmware and you have deregister option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
Thanks. So that could block getting future updates for those of us who aren't registered in the Beta. Depends if Samsung/Verizon have set up the process to allow beta (and eventually production) updates on phones running the Beta without checking their beta registration status. We would likely have to drop back to PH1 at some point to get to Nougat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] brainburnerco:
SD Card is not working for me. Clean install of ph1 then ota and ad card isn't recognized.

Had no issues putting update.zip on the external sd card in a folder called "fota"

Wiped and went to apply update.zip from external sd card and worked great. No root no nothing.

I honestly prefer Marshmallow with Good Lock over this Nougat beta though. It's kind of clunky and the UI isn't working as great as I'd expect. Very large and blocky. Notifications are difficult to swipe away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Averix:
I agree on the notifications thing. They're huge. Good Lock was definitely the right direction for Samsung to be going. I hope it eventually gets offered on this as well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ororick:
You can always wait for the U version once Nougat is officially released. Then you can just use the default hotspot without root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nitroevo:
Or you can download WiFi tether router from the store. Better than foxfi my opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
Requires root...not available w/the Nougat beta.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Sorry - "U version"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ororick:
Yea, you can flash the U (unlocked) Firmware on your Verizon handset through Odin. It gets rid of some Verizon specific features (namely visual voicemail), but it also removes bloat and opens up the built-in mobile hotspot feature. Runs buttery smooth (I get over 14k AnTuTu) but they didn't release a Nougat beta for it, so you either have to flash to PE1 then flash this Nougat update, or wait until official release.

Take a look at the thread titled "Stock and U firmware for you Verizon s7 edge" or something like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] nh94:
So I'm dumb and ****ed this up real bad

Not really sure where I went wrong here, but my phone is now stuck on the screen that Samsung galaxy s7 edge and all that jazz when you boot it up, and I can't seem to get around it. Is there a way to fix this issue? Not worried about getting 7.0 at this point, just don't want to have to get a new phone. Any help would be appreciated! Kinda freaking out over here haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] EchoX860:
It's pretty much known that Root on a Verizon S7 Edge completely ruins the performance/battery life of the S7 Edge. How is Root on the Nougat (if it's been achieved), any better or is it still a good idea to not Root at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but, for those who upgraded and did not factory reset, you can access the Galaxy App Store through the Galaxy Essentials widget.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] RMarkwald:
Or through the Samsung Gear app, go to Settings in the app, scroll to "Samsung Galaxy Apps". Widget may be quicker, but since I have the Gear Fit2, I noticed it in the Samsung Gear app and that's how I've been getting there. :)

I have couple of questions:

1. Is the beta good enough to try (I used to play with ROMs back in a days, and not looking for a very stable ver)?

2. Is there a way to roll back?

Thank you all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
1. It's as stable for me as the official Marshmallow release I was using before installing this, and runs more smoothly for me.

2. Haven't tried it, but from what I've seen here, yes.

The main issue at this point, is that you may not really get any more beta updates after this first build which we have right now, since you won't be part of the official beta.

So you might have to roll back to PH1, the current S7E Marshmallow official release, and then update to the S7E Nougat release when it is officially released after the Beta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
You can go back to PH1 and reroot. I have done it several times
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
I believe jrkruse was saying that even if we know where it is, we can't pull it without root access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
1: For me it's very stable, battery life is great, and haven't had any issues with it yet.

2: yes, you can use smart switch on your computer.

Before you rollback though make sure you make a backup on smart switch so you don't lose everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
We know where the update is stored on our phones, and we do need root to pull it off.

But if we had the link to where the download is then we wouldn't need to root to pull the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] JK6700:
Anyone tried to update without wiping, or that is too much to ask?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
I updated without wiping, been fine, except that System Update in Settings doesn't recognize that the Beta has been applied.

This might be fixed by wiping, but no-one has done a test to confirm as far AI know.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

You're referring to the server where the update is downloaded from? Seems odd that would be open to direct access, no security. Has that been the case in the past?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] greenjeans:
Don't know if this has been covered in this long thread, just wanted to point this out here.

I was able to flash the update.zip without putting it on the sdcard in a fota folder or whatever, using the install via adb option and using 'adb sideload update.zip'

I was stuck in a boot loop (phone would stay on for only a minute or two) I think the problem was disabled packages via package disabler pro - factory resetting the device appears to have fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Stevieboy02008:
I did it both ways. Updated without wiping and got the phone not recognizing that update then I rolled back using smart switch. Now the next step was important for me . I booted into recovery while the phone is on PH1 did a factory wipe from that menu then did apply update from SD card just like I did before. Went smooth and now phone recognize the beta as the current and latest software and runs better than before
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] knox0x1:
Silly question.. but could you pull the update off the phone through the computer??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
If we had root then we could.

We'd just use adb to pull it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Wipe isn't required.

But I'm sure many people didn't wipe after updating, like me for example. I didn't wipe after it.

However I got the update from samsung and not through this.
