The folder the update is in needs root to access.

So ADB won't work to pull the update out without root.

You can pull other things off using adb like pictures, videos, music and that kind of stuff with ADB though

I'm not 100% sure, since I turn the screen on when I pull it out of my pocket and immediately try the fingerprint. All it says then is that I can't use the fingerprint.

Also, is there any way to keep accessibility permissions through reboots? I have apps that rely on being allowed accessibility, but a reboot clears the setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Hmm, do you use any lockscreen apps?

Or do you use stock lockscreen?

Next time it does it, read it and post it here so I can see.

But with the accessibility permissions I'm not really sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] aznsensazn29:
I'm completely stock. Next time I'll try to take a screenshot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
If you didn't do a full wipe after or before installing the update, it may just be that you'll have to do that for some reason.

FWIW, I did not wipe, and am having zero problems with the phone restarting or the lock screen resetting and wanting the PIN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] aznsensazn29:
I completely restarted when I flashed from U firmware to Verizon firmware, and the lock screen doesn't reset, the phone just reboots. And since I have fingerprint unlock, the lock screen always asks for pin instead of fingerprint when the phone reboots - which is normal. So basically I just don't know why my phone is sometimes rebooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
You say you "...completely restarted" above - I assume you mean you did a factory reset?

If you reset, no suggestions. If not, then you may need to do a factory reset to stop the rebooting. You could also wipe cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dart06:
Couple of questions... I'm trying to do the update for my stock Verizon S7Edge however I'm not seeing in option 1 where it says to make sure phone is "official" under the system binary.

Also when I tried to apply the update via SD card it tried to install the update but got E: Error in /sideload/package.zip - anyone see that error yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] tattooz305:
Just wanted to make sure I am reading this right. This is for the Verizon S7 Edge to update to nougat, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] whirl08:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] tattooz305:
Did you load it? Any issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] grumpyj1:
Any ideas what will happen after the beta is over?? For us that are not registered, will we have to go back to PH1 or are we going to be able to keep using this beta until the official nougat comes out??

Will we be forced to go to PH1?

Thanks guys.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] mademan420:
We will more than likely have to flash to the updated Official Nougat build manually or ODIN back to PH1 then take the ota to the Official Nougat build.

I use the my places widget, but I can't find it after the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] bennero:
Hey OP and everyone. So I did a test to see if rolling back to PH1, wiping phone, and reloading the beta. Now WE version shoes correct beta, however Samsung Members still says unregistered.

As a side note, I emailed the program, they did say they are working with Verizon to open the beta to more users. Sooo. Who knows..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] grumpyj1:
Hey as long as i can use the beta until the official nougat releases I am good....hopefully thats the case. I guess we'll just ha e to wait and see huh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] tattooz305:
Loaded this up last night, no issues. Thanks for posting it. I did notice the phone takes longer to boot up, not referring to initial boot after install. Anyone else see that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] RMarkwald:
FYI - For anyone who's updated to PI3 from Verizon, I believe the October update, the update.zip for the Android Beta 7.0 won't install from what I'm seeing in the updater-script:

abort("Package expects build fingerprint of Verizon/hero2qltevzw/hero2qltevzw:6.0.1/MMB29M/G935VVRS4APH1:user/release-keys or Verizon/hero2qltevzw/hero2qltevzw:7.0/NRD90M/G935VVRU4ZPK4:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");

It is looking for PH1, and will error if it isn't that (or PK4, which is the current beta version). Maybe in another version of the Android 7.0 Beta, this will change...? Who knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dclutter1:
As much as I hate to admit this....

My problem was that I was using this on a flat S7, not the edge. Glad it didn't work now.

If that happens to be your problem, this thread has the file for the VZW flat S7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] lithium630:
Ha. I appreciate the reply. I have the edge. My original problem was that the SD card was encrypted. Unencrypting did not help. A switched to a new card and got a little further in the process, until this error anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
This beta is so boring, everything just works. Where's the excitement? ;)

Im still waiting for a root to come out. I dont think the beta is boring by any means but its still interesting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
To check the binary status reboot to download mode and look for official or custom.

Try redownloading/a different sd card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
If your phone is stock/you've never rooted you don't need to check that - your phone will be official.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] brainburnerco:
I haven't but if I have it back to ph1 the card works just fine. But on the beta it just doesn't. On settings storage, it said sd card ready but when I go on the file browser it says sd card not inserted and I can't access it. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Tmobile got their first beta nougat update today so verizon should be getting one as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
So what's the process that someone getting the update could follow to get logs to find the source of the download?

Is that even a valid option?

I was just playing around a bit its not much but it makes you feel like you have some mods

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224399276

Extract zip

Enable Usb Debugging

Disable Verify apps over USB

Plug phone into computer watch phone screen accept usb debugging key for computer

Run install.bat

bat will remove any conflicting apps then reboot phone

bat will continue once phone is rebooted and install apps

phone will reboot again

open settings goto accessibility

enable all the servicesexcept talkback unless you want it

in settings open applications

open applications manager

goto menu select speciall access

In Phone Administrators enable all except android device manager unless you want that

Now click back button and open Draw over other apps and enable all

click back button and open Modify system settings enable all

click back button and open Notification access enable all

Open Echoe Control and Everything Installed will be accessed there

OMG!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Well dont get too excited they are all just apps that I have found to work pretty good and give some of the same kind of mods that echoe rom has. This along with package disabler pro gives a bit of customization to a stock phone

It install 16 apps but most are small and I have hidden all of them from app drawer

If you decide you dont like here is an uninstall bat just place it in the same folder as the install.bat and apps are in

Should not need that information .. the initial way of obtaining this OTA (7.0 Nougat beta) and applying will work exactly the same with the updated 90MB PKC OTA that was just released.

We just need someone that officially receives the OTA to grab that "update.zip" file from FOTA and upload it somewhere for us :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jab476:
Does anyone have a beta download that will work with pi3? The one in OP didn't work

It seems like this update only fixes some bug with the Facebook app. Probably wouldn't be worth panicking over for those that aren't seeing the update because they're not registered with the beta program.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] LordGeek:
The update covered more than just Facebook !

Anyone get the update to upload? Cant update Samsung Pay with Rewards 2.5 intill i update the beta
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I don't think we'll be able to upload one without root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jakeness87:
HMMM?

Why would we need root now for this update and not for the first one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] ororick:
Because the update file is stored in a place where we can't access without root. And the only people who get the new update are people who are already on the n beta and if you download the update and flash back to pe1 the update file gets wiped in the process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
According to the above post the latest update is only for tmobile and sprint no mention of verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] bennero:
It looks like they haven't updated Samsung Pay for 7.0 yet. The N OS Samsung Pay app in the Galaxy app store is still 2.4 version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I got one.

It was ~98 MB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
I was the one that uploaded the first zip.

You need root access to pull the update, so I had to root when I was on marshmallow and then pull the update.

We don't have root on 7.0 so I can't pull it and nobody can until we get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Haz3:
Just got one too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:

Beta Feedback for those in Beta Program

For the OP and anyone in this forum who's officially on the beta, you may already know this and sorry if you do, but I noted a bug where, at least in google messenger, when you get a text notification, the first time you respond within the notification, the message you just sent is copied back into the send field. So you have to delete that message before you can send a second test. Not a big deal but definitely annoying.

There's a root for pe1 Right? Has anyone even tried that root process for the update nougat? Just curious..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:
Make a backup with smart switch, then Odin back.

When you Odin you'll lose everything but when you restore you'll get your stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] gunnyman:
OK thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
I sure have. It didnt go well.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Those of you on beta program,can you take your beta update more than once. What I mean has anyone taken say the first update to nougat via the beta program, then odin back to MM. Are you then able to take the beta nougat update again from beta servers? If so I think I may have a way to pull 2nd update.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Redflea:
I thought Smart Switch was used when moving data from one phone to another. How is it used in the Odin update process on the same phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
Ok if anyone on beta program has not taken the 2nd ota update today or wants to go back and see if you can take it again. I think we can get the update pulled for everyone. What needs to be done is odin back to MM PH1. I have put together a root package that will root PH1 and change the build.prop and a couple of other files to make the server think that you are running the first build of Nougat and therefore you should receive 2nd ota. At this point you will be rooted since your actually on MM and you can pull the update.zip. Do not apply it. Just pull it.

MM_RootForUpdate.zip

S7Edge_Eng_BootImg_RecoveryImg.tar

1 Flash G935VVRS4APH1_CL8875708_QB10880117_REV02_user_low_ ship_MULTI_CERT

2. Reboot back to download and flash S7Edge_Eng_BootImg_RecoveryImg.tar in odin

3. Go through setup enable developer options then enable usb debugging and disable verify apps over usb and change usb configuration to MTP

4. Run root.bat in MM_RootForUpdate you unzipped from the MM_RootForUpdate.zip

5. Put the necessary stuff you need for the beta update and you should receive the 2nd update

6. Then use a root explorer to copy update.zip from data/fota folder once you receive it.

7. Then I will put together a method to get to 2nd ota

Edit: Ok I should warn that the person trying this ,it may not work and could take you off the beta path and you would be stuck on inititial release like the rest of us. So do this at your own risk and for the benifit of the rest of us but if it doesnt work dont get mad
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] zimgir124:

Nope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] jrkruse:
You will flash back to Stock PH1. When you root with the provided root.bat its going to change your build.prop your CSCVersion.txt and your SW_Configuration.xml. And your CSC folder. Its going to change all of these to the ones from PK4. This works on fooling regular updates. Once the update is pulled then you will odin back to stock ph1 and update to Pk4 the manual or the ota way if you can still get pk4 then you should be able to take ota for lates once again
