I got this error when i try to install this update on my device:

could you please help me what is the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] yossijoe:
which version are you currently on. & which zip are you sideloading?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Gerr1985:
I had the same exact issue. I had just used ODIN to go back to stock and wanted to immediately apply the Android N beta OTA's since I was running the StangROM. I was excited and got the error and felt sad. Likely how you feel. I couldn't find much in these forums to help, so I decided to give the following a try and it worked.

Return to Stock via ODIN and the files here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy - version of ODIN that worked for me

Use Odin for BL, AP, CP, and CSC (NOT the home CSC)

Step 1 - (After returning to Stock via Odin) Let it boot up normally and setup ROM with basics. (avoid installing any apps, I'll explain that in step 2).

Step 2 - Go into the Settings and search for updates. There will be one, and if you don't see it, click the search for OTA updates to find it. There will be a button for that. Let the update run, reboot and let it do its thing. The updates apply to apps, which is why I recommend in step 1 to not install a bunch, as that will make the OTA update processes longer.

Step 3 - Repeat step 2 a couple of times. I recall I did it 3 times.

Step 4 - Attempt to now install the Android N OTA via recovery using instruction in the OP. Voila, it should work! I had an error (I think) during the first OTA for Android N, but it worked through it. After OTA1 installs, repeat for OTA 2.

Android N is awesome! I'm in love!

I have problem with version too!

my device processor is Snapdragon and in downloading mode it shows G930V but in Setting > About it shows G930F and buildnumber is G930F too. I don't know what is the problem but i ask in here and answer was flashing G930V Firmware.

so i want to do that and then see this Error.

i try to update my device with that file in first page (update.zip) and i just select update from SD card in Recovery mode, i don't try to do sideloading (i don't know what is that exactly)

sorry for bad english!

thank you for your help.:o:o:o

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

thank you! i will do this. my problem is my device is really G930V (because of names that shows in Recovery mode and Downloading mode) but i dont know why they (SAMSUNG) install G930F Firmware in it!!!(i live in middle east)

i afraid of make brick my device. i dont know what should i do???!!!:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Gerr1985:
IF you don't have the Verizon version of phone, and you do have the G930F, then you might be in the wrong place to get files and settings. If you do have the G930V on Verizon, then continue below. Continuing without having a Verizon variant might lead to a brick.

I do have the G930V for Verizon. If you use Verizon, then grab the ODIN files from below link:

http://dl.psouza4.com/android/SMG930/VZW_G930VVRU2APE1.zip (for the regular S7 NOT edge)

Start process fresh and follow my instructions from before, I'm not sure how the OTA updates are done in the Middle East, so hopefully you get the same ones.

Good luck, hope it gets fixed for you!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] guille_ortiz97:
Only two builds available because verizon cancel the beta so the next update will be the official.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] COMTB:
You can download the latest firmware from samfirm and use that to flash to the latest marshmallow update.

I didn't do that from the nougat beta but I did use it to upgrade from PE1 (After returning to stock from rooted) to the latest firmware. Worked fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jpmcnown:
The 2nd update beta is in no way ready for public release. (yes, i understand the concept of beta testing) That being said, if all you do is stare at your home screen, this build is perfect.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dtroup64:
Been using it since it came out. Runs better far better than stock for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
Same. I went back to Marshmallow for VR purposes only. If VR worked on Nougat, I wouldn't have left. This beta is far more stable than stock Marshmallow. For anyone who complains about it, I assume they never did a factory reset. Do yourselves a favor and do a factory reset, it will make the difference of night and day.

Has anyone who was running this Nougat Beta update, from this guide, received the update from Verizon? Do we know if it will work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] iBolski:
FYI. Not sure this is standard across all models of the S7/S7 Edge, but apparently, Nougat by default will put your screen to a lower resolution from the defualt QHD that is currently present in MM. But, you can set it back to QHD if you want, or leave it in the middle where it defaults in Nougat. Apparently, it's for saving battery life.

http://phandroid.com/2017/01/19/galaxy-s7-edge-display-resolution-nougat/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] tperricone:
You're correct! There are a number of battery saving settings...this is one of them.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

For those interested i'm roughly a day in with the PI3 to Nougat update 1&2. It's buttery smooth and battery life seems to be better than the MM build. As I understand it when (big when) Verizon releases the official update the beta users will get fist grabs. Big red can change this at anytime.

Looks like another OTA release has been pulled back:

http://phandroid.com/2017/01/20/xperia-z5-nougat-update-halted/

I just installed this and I'm super impressed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Illogi.xbone:
Most likely, since they backed out of beta, they will release to everyone at the same time. Probably some time after the beta users on other carriers get their updates. On a different subject, has anyone using Samsung Pay noticed UltraPower Saving removes saved debit/credit cards? Also, any themes installed getting reapplied randomly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] niac93:
Just upgraded from Pi3 straight to beta1 and then beta2. Experience has been awesome so far for the first day. Can't thank you guys enough for providing the PI3 download, I was overly paranoid flashing manually with odin on my PC (never flashed anything on a phone that cost me more than $50) but the SD card method was probable the simplest thing I've ever done. Make an fota folder on the SD card, drop the file in, rename it, boot into recovery and now you have Nougat. Great work guys!

Beta GPS accuracy problems

I've updated to the beta from both PH1 and PI3, and in every case my GPS accuracy goes from 3-5m error in 6.0.1 to 25-50m error in 7.0. Sometimes the GPS seems to lock in, only to start jumping around 100m, 200m, 300m. Both Google Maps and Waze have problems with both location and directions due to the inaccuracy. I've tried upgrading without reset and upgrading with factory reset. Is anyone else seeing these types of GPS problems in the beta? If I re-flash PI3 all problems go away.

Thx in advance.
