I'm going to think on this one for a few. I might be able to pull it off after lunch.

Also, would someone be willing to help our brothers in the AT&T and Sprint forums? I've been working with a couple of them to try and pull their Nougat Beta for uploading like I did, but nothing seems to be working. Their adb pulls are ending up corrupted and missing boot.img if I recall. Any ideas?

The two beta guys I've been trying to help are [MENTION=2685122]billydroid[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4266291]jakemastaflash[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Verizon is the only one that doesnt encrypt their update.zip. Im pretty sure the update.zip on sprint and tmobile would need to be triggered by the fotaupdater.apk or what ever it is named. Im sure just pulling it and placing it on the sdcard would result in an invalid header error. They can alway flash verizon firmware and install the zips that way of course all the Volte stuff wouldnt work but with proper apn edit lte should work

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

Once the second update.zip gets pulled you will simply install it from the sdcard in recovery. You will not have to odin back. As for the official nougat update, since verizon released another MM update I would assume you would probably have to take the official update from the latest build. Most likely the last beta build in these test usually becomes the official build so beta users would probably already be on the offiicial release without even knowing it until it is released. Either way your not a stuck. You can get there one way or another.

Edit: Most all of this stuff has been addressed over on the Verizon S7 Edge Beta thread it might be worth taking a look over there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jakemastaflash:
EDIT: Just saw [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] post. I had a feeling it was an encryption issue. I will check out the post he mentioned for research. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] daweeze02:
Dude I sat here for 2 hours getting the same thing until I realized I was on the PI3 build lol. I don't feel like odin back so just gonna wait like you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Builderspark:
Any updates? Pun intended
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Be patient it takes alot of time to get the 2nd update pulled. The phone has to be wiped and odin back to MM rerooted then odin back to MM unrooted to get back to Nougat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I'm still on the fence to be honest. I can't be without the phone for awhile, so it really depends how long it will take. I'm backing up with Smart Switch now. If that doesn't take too long, I'll flash back to MM and start over to pull the update.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Flashing back to MM now lol. Are we sure the spoof zip is in order? I can't check it while I'm in the office, and I haven't looked at it yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
The 2nd beta update.zip is posted in the OP. You're welcome!!!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I didn't do anything other than upload a file. I don't deserve any donations lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Builderspark:
was it easy enough to do again when the next build comes out? or was it a pain?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JediDru:
You are the man!

The standby on this update is far better than the initial beta.

Gonna have to run it on HD for awhile. Bless these aging eyes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] yossijoe:
Sure was a pain?

He had to downgrade back to mm & root it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I had to flash back, root, download the update and pull it, then flash back again, then take the first beta, and finally flash the second beta lol.

As much as it would excite me to get another beta update, I'm not looking forward to pulling it again lol.

Actually, this is the first time I've used Smart Switch for a full backup and restore, and I gotta say that Samsung definitely did wonders with that program/interface.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Builderspark:
Well thank you for everything. Wish we all could have just got into the beta program.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ickedmel:
Thanks for taking the time to get the update for us. It's very appreciated. The power saving function now works properly for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] brock350:
I have a curious question that kind of off topic.. But how come the 2nd update didn't have some kind of feature/method that corrupts the update file that has been giving users on the T mobile forums?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I appreciate it, but you don't have to do all that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] stleusc:
That's why we wanted to donate ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JediDru:
I think we should give the guy a break. Official is supposedly right around the corner. If we don't get an official update from the beta for the actual non betas we need to get comfortable flashing back to marshmallow to accept the official nougat.

I am very thankful for what has been provided so far though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lukesnc:
Can't we just take the official nougat OTA from whatever firmware version were on or do we have to go back to Marshmallow first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
Yeah I agree. Doesn't look like much is new anyways except brightness slider being moved. Only thing I miss is the theme store and that won't work til nougat is official
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Blakesmith90:
Does anyone know if I were to flash my g930v to g930u firmware could I install this nouget and keep band 12 and 17?

I use my phone for cricket and tmobile and those bands would be nice to have
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] freak69ize:
Nope.. Already tried
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] JediDru:
Can't know for sure until it drops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] marcran75:
The official update will be pushed to everyone. The only reason you would not be able to accept it would be if you are rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] stleusc:
Guess still nice to find a way to get the latest beta. Had some stability issues. So if anyone pulls it it would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I haven't received another update yet. It must not have come to Verizon yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] marcran75:
According to this article it's only available for UK variants right now. http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-android-nougat-beta-update-732059/

Don't go out of your way my friend. Unfortunately this is the "gimme now" generation where everyone wants everything yesterday. Your efforts thus far are very much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mike.dawson:
No worries. Verizon may not even get it. Again if you're willing to go though the trouble to snag it for us if you get it, would be willing to send a donation your way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Still no update yet. I'd really like my VR to work again. If that gets fixed, then this OS would be perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] stleusc:
And a fix for some of the crashes I get.

Also having a VR...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jrkruse:
Come on can't you just get on the Samsung servers and manually pull the update. I have 2 private messages asking that exact question. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Hahaha. If that were the case, I'd pull their software to sign kernels and unlock bootloaders lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
What crashes are you getting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] stleusc:
Once the phone froze and rebooted. Occasional Google maps or other app crash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Did you wipe after updating? Sounds like dirty data to me. Mine has been almost perfect since I've updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] stleusc:
No, so far I never wiped after updates...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mike.dawson:
Has anyone had trouble with Bluetooth? Some of my Bluetooth speakers drip out from time to time. Haven't done it before the beta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I highly recommend wiping if you have any issues. Mine is so much smoother and responsive on Nougat than it was on marshmallow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SubliminalME:
My only issue is that the screen takes a second or so to light up when I wake it up. Other than that, I'm very impressed with the software.

The wife talked me in to a Pixel from Verizon's Black Friday deal, though, so I guess I'll be moving on from the S7...but this update really revitalized an altogether fantastic phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dclutter1:
Do you wipe from recovery or do the factory reset from the menu? And what's the difference between the two?

I ask because I wiped from recovery after flashing and I've had some problems. Battery is not better - maybe worse, menus and dropdowns like google now usually disappear after a few seconds and I have to open them a second time, Samsung browser wasn't installed by default and when I did install it, it force closes.

I figured it was a bad install or file download and I just haven't gotten around to re-doing it or looking for an md5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
No issues on my JVC bluetooth stereo with S7 but I also wiped from recovery after first installing Nougat beta 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] djh816:
They should be identical in terms of behavior. IIRC it just does adb reboot to recovery with some --wipe_data parameter or similar.

OOPS: I odin'd back from a stock VZW S7 Edge PI3 to PH1 but I'm still getting a Status 7 Error with sideload.apk that the device isn't what it was expecting ... can anyone please clue me in? Thanks!

Umm.. this thread isn't for the edge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dclutter1:
After my first clean install of the beta, I didn't have the samsung browser. I downloaded it from the play store but it force closed every time I tried to open it. I figured it was a bad install or corrupt file or whatever.

So, today I tried again. I downloaded it on my phone and my pc, checked the md5s and they matched (the original suspected bad dl also matched so now assuming it's fine). I wiped from recovery (3 times, for superstitions sake :P), installed the beta and the update, it booted to system automatically so I went through the initial setup and did a factory reset from the menu. Much to my dismay, I'm still missing the samsung browser, and galaxy apps... I'm not sure what to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ironbesterer:

You can downgrade using the PH1 Odin firmware file found at sammobile, I had to do that for my gf's phone since she had already taken the PI3 update. I got the same error message trying the nougat update coming from PI3, but it worked after I downgraded the phone to PH1.

Oh and thank you so much to [MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION] this is excellent work pulling the OTA files and sharing with everyone. This is truly the community-minded spirit that makes XDA (and android development as a whole) great :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dclutter1:
Is that how it was in MM? I'm almost certain I had a "galaxy apps" app, and the browser was included. Either way, the browser should still work when I install it from the play store. However it got there, I was definitely using it on MM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I didn't notice before, but Galaxy apps is in my app drawer. I guess they fixed it in the 2nd beta. As for the browser, I don't use it, so I never downloaded it.
