[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
I would like to start this thread in regards to the latest 7.0 Nougat update released by Samsung.

The Galaxy S7 Edge 7.0 Update is compatible with the Canadian variant 935w8.

The process for installation has been confusing for many people and unsuccessful.

I have been successful and am currently running android 7.0 Nougat on the Galaxy S7 Edge.

I will be making a video demonstration pointing out some new and much needed features and bug fixes included with the 7.0 update for the Galaxy S7 Edge Canadian Variant 935w8.

MAYBE EVEN POSSIBLE GOOGLE DAYDREAM SUPPORT AND COMPARABILITY. Still testing this tho.

INSTALL METHOD USING ODIN. (POSSIBLE DATA LOSE SO BACK UP JUST IN CASE):

BACK UP INTERNAL FILES FROM THE PHONE SD CARD WILL BE FINE.

HAVE YOUR PHONE CHARGED AT A DECENT LEVEL JUST IN CASE IS WHAT I SAY.

BACK UP ANYTHING YOU MAY BE CONCERNED OF.

BE CAREFUL I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

MANY CONFIRM THIS METHOD WORKING ALONG WITH ME HE TRIED IT FIRST.

1) Put phone in download mode.

2) Connect phone to latest Odin version.

3) install AP from 7.0 Nougat update file ALONG with the CSC from the 6.0.1 update file.

If all goes well you have now achieved the Nougat 7.0 update on you Galaxy S7 Edge in Canada 935w8.

Optional:

If report does get stuck you can try forcing the phone to restart and then the update process should continue.

If you are in a boot loop try again.

awesome. looking forward to trying this out!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
Is this the "official" release or part of the Beta testing that's been going on?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
More screenshots
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
Part of the beta testing but on the Canadian variant there has been a lot of confusion and failed attempts for people trying to manually update.

I was able to get it done and am now on 7.0

Retracing my steps so I can better help others.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
So much confusion an most people forget about support for Canadians. Samsung should just include Canada considering we have the Exynos processor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
Oh yeah did I forget to mention possible DAYDREAM SUPPORT!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fsvancim:
I tried flashing it with odin but did not work :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] marktang:
that's what this person said. havent tried it yet though.

Yes it will be There...if u dont wipe data!!!!

Just simply wipe system and flash the rom!!!

You wont lose your data ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bmaltais:
So you need to root your device then, right? Can this be done without root? I am asking because my S7 Edge just developed yesterday a top to bottom green line on the display and I will want it to be replaced by Samsung... if I root it they probably will refuse to replace it... right?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] brianhill1980:
This might be a dumb question, but if my phone (S7 Edge) isn't carrier locked (bought it out-right from Samsung store and it's unlocked), then I shouldn't be waiting for my carrier to provide me with the update, my phone should be checking directly with Samsung right? If that's the case, does anyone know if Nougat is available? I have a custom Nougat ROM on my phone right now (King Of Nougat v7) but I'd like to go back to stock if possible and stay on Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
I think samsung pay is a pipe dream in canada, even when the s8 will come out i'll bet it still won't be available here.

Wrong, unlocked phones get the updates last after every carrier already updated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
It is already available in Canada but only w CIBC atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] adsam3927:
Where exactly did you get that piece of information from about factory unlocked devices getting the updates last after carriers ? That was NOT the case with previous Samsung devices that I've owned.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
There is no "Samsung Direct" device in Canada. They are all carrier locked, even if you bought it outright from a Samsung Experience Store. You get the unlock code, sure, but that's a far cry from unlocked like for example purchasing direct from Apple. Updates are still carrier driven. Only way to get Samsung direct updates in Canada is to change the CSC to XAC, but note that it will revert to the carrier CSC. XAC updates are typically released before carrier, I think anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] brianhill1980:
I reset my phone back to stock yesterday. It's on Android 6.0.1 with the November 1, 2016 security patch.

Baseband version: G935W8VLU2APK3

Build number: MMB29K.G935W8VLU2APK3

I just downloaded the Phone INFO app from PlayStore. This allows me to check my CSC code and all available CSC codes for my Country. My CSC code right now is XAC. This is using the Stock firmware.

When I check for updates it says I'm on the most recent version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Not good enough.

One of the previous updates was delayed on rogers yet released on every other carrier, my unlocked phone got it after rogers released their update, xac is dead last.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
XAC is the most up to date ROM right now for Canada. That's why we are at least on the November patch. Samsung really neglects Canada big time. We're going to be one of the last ones to receive any update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] brianhill1980:
That's truly disappointing if accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Richard_10:
Wrong my friend carriers branded last
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Like i said before, when rogers delayed its firmware it also delayed xac's firmware while the other carriers got it, so no carriers are not last they are first until every carriers firmware is deployed and then xac gets it at the end.

If nougat is going to get delayed on rogers for whatever reason(lets say wifi calling) i'll bet you that xac isn't getting it until that gets sorted out.

Who uses Telegram? Everyone has a web browser.

Whatever, it's your choice but I don't see the reasoning for creating some exclusive little group on a separate app that needs to be installed.

see if i can figure out how to get on nougat..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] maxcomx:
I had SM-G935W8 from rogers unlocked, then rooted it and then i wanted to flash it with king of nougat v14 rom, but couldnt find information about safe way to flash it on w8, then i did it with Kind of Rom, since my phone is now a SM-G935F !!

But i've lost acces to my extSdCard ! not that is was encrypted, ive put in a new one and its the same. Even after format.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] finnmacool:
I am using v 7.1 of this: https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/android-nougat-7-0-beta-1-rom-test-t3498664 and my sd card works fine. Now that you have Nougat, try flashing this one and see if your sd card shows up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Noob at everything:
So please tell me: I flashed the btu nougat on my s7 edge and flashed HOME_CSC instead will I still get OTA updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
why ? XDA is the perfect place obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] maxcomx:
So i manage to get King of nougat 7.1 to work on my originally SM-G935W8 unlocked from Rogers, original firmware rooted for a while then i installed a custom Rom "King of Rom V14" which changed my phone model to SM-G935F and detected any extSDcard as corrupted, and few days ago i installed King of Nougat v7.1.

Not that i needed to change the model to F instead of W8, i was not expecting that at all. Im not sure what does that change to my phone but what ever...everything work fine.

It didnt work fine at first, i selected w8 install which ended up booting and booting with no end, each try i did some full wipe and then i reinstalled it again selecting F and selecting less bloatware to remove and less mod. Then it worked, But : i had no signal from my phone carrier, so i got the latest original firmware from sammobile.com for my actual carrier Koodo "android 6.0.1" "i believe you could choose any of the version as long as its w8 for Canadian phone and maybe even not w8 would work" then i extract the zipfile and usin Odin 3.12.4 i flashed the CP file and i probably did a factory reset wipe. I dont remember flashing csc but maybe or it failed.

Now i have a question...

Can i easilly change my choice of mod from the rom installation? If not what is the hard way ;)?

So you need :

-TWRP the latest version

-King of Nougat 7.1

-Odin 3.12.4

-BL and CP file from the latest original firmware for your phone www.sammobile.com

Dont forget to backup before if you wanna restore your data. With "SmartSwitch" not with kies !

-Install Odin and Smartswitch on Pc.

-Back up your data with SmartSwitch

-Copy Custom Rom on extSDcard

-Flash TWRP with Odin, boot your phine in download mode,in Odin: deselect Auto Reboot in option, and click AP select your TWRP file. Start.

-Reboot in Recovery,

-Wipe everything exept extsdcard

-install Custom Rom

-Follow installer instruction be carefull

-Flash CP file from original firmware with Odin

-Wipe again to reset factory

-Reboot to System and wait even if its long its the first time !!

Before you enter your google account i recommend connecting to Wifi, to avoid extra data charge while Google in syncing your account and maybe restoring your 300 backed up Apps.

I also recommend to learn the button command to ,force reboot, boot in download mode and boot in recovery.

I'm not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone, im just sharing part of my research and how i installed King of Nougat custom Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] andyid:
Can someone post the Download link to a Canadian Variant of the 7.0?

I see everyone talking about to flash the files but where are the files?

i also see others talking about Bell or Rogers Variant of 7.0 but that also i cannot find.

Im currently with Telus on my GS7e and would like to update to 7.0.

Any help is appreciated

Out of curiosity, has anyone managed to get any Nougat rom to pass SafetyNet on the W8? I've tried using Helios and SuperMan (both of which are supposedly compatible with Magisk Hide), but have had no luck.

I have looked around but not sure which ones apply to the Canadian version of the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mrwahblah:
With the latest magisk it's even less trouble.

Wipe system and all that.

Flash rom (if it has a built it option to root don't do it)

Boot into android once.

Then back to recovery and flash kernel then magisk.

Enable hide if it doesn't automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cancel357:
Thanks for the info, is it really better than stock? I am thinking of selling the phone but if it is worth it, I may as well root and ROM the sucker...

I plan on never having a stock phone again.

Seriously I haven't in years. All the controls from custom roms/kernels it's hard for me to imagine any other way.

Check it out and if it's not for you since you were planning on selling it doesn't matter.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
You cannot flash directly to official Nougat because of the different model # with the Canadian phone, you can flash directly to a custom Nougat rom with twrp if you're rooted

Technically you can flash official Nougat if you can disable secure download but don't quote me on that

try it with smart switch first. It maybe able to do what odin cannot do because of the pit file.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
You need to make sure your phone's model # is the exact same as the firmware you're trying to flash, if it's the same model + firmware then try a newer one

What I find hilarious, is all these impatient people wanting Nougat, will be the same people 1 week after they get the update asking for help downgrading to marshmallow!! I would rather wait and get a nice stable build, also what's the big deal anyway?? Nothing changes that much, right now for me, I'm getting more than enough battery life on marshmallow, my phone is stable, I have no issues!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] phil.W:
with my note 5 I saw more than a few odds and ends that simply were better when using a nougat build ROM. The layout is nicer, the ability to change simply icons rather than a whole theme. Little pieces here and there stick out and make it better such as double tap on AOD to go to notified app etc. Little refinements add up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sonspot:
Coming from a Nexus 6P that I owned for a year been on N since last year I can tell you no one will be asking to go back to MM thats a ridiculous comment. If I did not get a great deal on my S7 edge I would still be waiting for the S8 using my S4.. No one is downgrading to marshmallow ( maybe you but no one else )..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
I can almost guarantee that the Canadian carriers will screw this up and that there will definitely be people clamoring to revert back to marshmallow...

I'm sure the younger people will appreciate the aesthetic differences and rave about non productive things like shade colours and faster transitions..but for people who use their phones for productive purposes, I can't really say that they could possibly make this experience measurably better without affecting battery life which is fantastic currently..
