I just found out I placed it in the wrong forum. So this thread will be inactive until the regular S7's update URL has been found, I'll make an annoucment in this thread once it is found, so this thread will be of use later. I'll make a new one in the S7 Edge forum right now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Archienj7:
Great for you, it's not working for me. I know how to use a download manager and pop a link in too. No dice. If you seriously think AT&T doesn't know about this or is monitoring it then I don't need even need to say another word. You think phones not in the program can just grab it and them not know? Or they don't know what XDA is? They know. They watch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goofytek:
The download still works. You need to spoof your Web Browser's User-Agent ID. I'm thinking they are blocking certain User-Agent IDs from accessing the site. The Download Manager he linked most likely bypasses the User-Agent ID restrictions that prevents you from downloading.

You should at least had tried it before blowing up on the poor guy that tried to help you out. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Archienj7:
If I were to "blow up", it wouldn't be that nice. I explained it, clearly, since "the poor guy" thinks they can't block downloads or know it's beyond test agents possession. I did use the download manager also, which I explained the first time. God I hope this wasn't too "extreme" I might get another emoji for my troubles.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Omar04:
Not all Download Manager works the same. Why don't you download the app that is working and try for yourself. ;)

And Yeah I know some User-Agent Id's are block, that's the reason I am recommending that app. Because it still working. And believe me I know my stuff I've been on this game a very long time. Also I know they can monitor traffic on server but even tho they can never block all access, there is always a backdoor. You can research me if you want on google as Darkor Hellruins and you will have a tiny idea who I am for real, although not working on some of that stuff anymore for some "cease and desist" from some big names. All software should be free. :)

PS not offended by what you have said. ;)

Thanks got it downloaded. Can you tell us how you installed this on your S7 Please??? I know we have to return phone to PK1 but then what to install this Mega download Please!!!! Do we install it on SD card and boot to recovery and install from SD like we did going from PK1 to BQA4????? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kireflow90:
Honestly I didn't install it. I just downloaded it and provided the file. I knew I could download it and others were having issues. So I'm just providing it lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
OK Thanks for file. I am sure someone will tell us if we install it same as we did going from PK1 to BQA4 with this file on root of SD Card then install through Recovery. Thanks again for file!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Tried after going back to PK1, to install the download QBA6 from SD card but fails. Says E: footer is wrong & E: signature verification failed. So how do you install this BQA6. Need HELP PLEASE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmax78:
just got the download manager, used the link https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48782/1488/SS-G930AUCS4APK1-to-U4BQA6-UP and it's downloading (at 9% so far). will keep fingers crossed.

been looking forward to this since losing my nexus 5x. here's to hoping it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Let me know how you got the file installed QA6 Please? Keep getting Error as I stated above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Did you rename the file and add .zip, needs to have .zip for it to install from recovery sdcard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Yes I did. But keeps saying when I boot to Recovery and do SD Update phone says E: footer is wrong. Did just like I did installing QA4 with No Problem. Guess I will have to just go back to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmax78:
so the file's name was "file" when I downloaded it through the download manager. renamed it to ATT_GALAXY_S7_QA6.zip and copied to the root of the sd card, rebooted into recovery, selected file and viola!

took a few like everyone is saying, but is all set up and running. attaching screenshot for proof.

will try and upload file to mega or something, but internet is slow as hell for uploads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Just tried Rename to same thing you had above but still NO Luck keeps saying E: footer is wrong.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

Maybe the link I used to download file on Post #192 has bad file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmax78:
uploading file as we speak, will be about an hour though before it's done. is probably a bad download. i didn't download the one from mega, but from here. will keep posted as file finishes uploading (though would probably be faster just downloading the file through the download manager on the phone and renaming yourself).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
I appreciate this. Will wait for your file on Mega and try it and then move it from PC to SD card. Thanks!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kireflow90:
It maybe because I extracted the file itself. Monday I'll have to upload the original one at work

Updated: I see someone else is uploading it so I won't do it again. I never thought about it possibly being a corrupt download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] morkeleb7179:
Where can o find the download link to pk1 and can I downgrade from SD card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmax78:
k, so finally uploaded. hopefully I did the link right. you can download the file I used here.

good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] morkeleb7179:
Which file the PK1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:
Pk1 needs to be flashed with Odin official. After that complete (or skip through) setup to allow us debugging and permit your computer for adb (If that is what you use such as me) then either sideload zip or flash with recovery. I successfully installed qa4 then odind back to pk1 then flashed qa6 all with adb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
OH that is my problem. It has to be done through adb not the SD card this QA6??? Got it on SD card and now Cannot mount SD Card in Recovery!!!!! I Give Up!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nahrah:
I renamed it to update.zip and it flashed OK from sdcard. Prior to that I put .Zip and got verification error. Give that a try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
dmax78 Thanks for the file. I Finally found what problem was. Bad SD Card, I formatted it and put file you uploaded and All Went Well With Install. YEA!!!!! Thanks to all of you. Now to go through the Setup process on phone. Battery Life Sucks!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] morkeleb7179:
Where can o find the PK1 to download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:
It shouldn't have to be no, make sure it's a physical address card though. In the root, try renaming it to update.zip. I just prefer adb for stuff like this.

This worked great on the AT&T G930A. There some really minor UI bugs, such as alpha sort of apps in a folder even though custom sort was selected.

I did not need to rename the file and it didn't wipe my external SD card as one poster warned.

Does anyone know if the default launcher supports the new app shortcuts? I get a popup on a long-press, but only basic options. No app functions.

Kudos to the OP!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kireflow90:
It's not supposed to wipe the external SD card but the entire phone. The external SD card reference made earlier in this thread was over a bad SD card nothing to do with post installation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] goldfox2000:
worked like a charm. Only problem I had was when running in command prompt, "adb sideload FIRMWARE" was not working so to fix that I did "adb sideload FIRMWARE.zip"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Omar04:
When renaming you need to do so without any space or that message will pop up. Example wrong naming "update QA6.zip" correct way should be "update_QA6.zip" or "update.zip" "update-QA6.zip" etc. No spaces.

Also when using command ADB Sideload you need to provide the full path of update. easy way is shift+right click open command window here. Or drag the file to command prompt window.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian6685:

Interesting now there is a QA2, QA3, QA5 those were not available before. Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian6685:
Worth upgrading from 4 to 6, or just wait? I'm assuming not much completely new and this version is running pretty smooth for me..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jimmyvb98:
I don't think so. They only fixed some small bugs I think. As we're in February now, they went from QAx to QBx, so I guess that can be worth it as it is a month newer then the current one. But if you're just a normal user, you should stay at QA4 until they update it from 7.0 to 7.1.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian6685:
I think that's what I'll do... Hopefully it will let us OTA to the newer ones..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goofytek:
I been running QA6 for the last week or so. Overall performance is good, but battery life not so good. I didn't have much time on QA4 so i cant tell if its just Nouget or QA6 build. I can live with it until the next build and always have access to a charger. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian6685:
I'm running q4, and battery life isn't great. However, battery life on this really hasn't ever been so great for me..

Qa6 is actually feb, they didn't change to qb6 or I guess qb0 it would start at.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Omar04:
Not worth it. I check all files within QA4 and QA6 only difference is security patches and updated bloatware main system haven't change that much since first beta last year. The firmware is finished since ATT received it from Sammy, ATT have only added security patches and bloat all the time while "testing" .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brian6685:
I'm pretty sure you need to go back to pk1, then to qa6. I'm on 4 right now, and I was thinking of doing the same thing today

I've read the guide. Based on the guide, all I'm doing is installing official updates one by one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:
That is incorrect, once your on pk1 all you flash is qa6. And yes you will need to go qa4 > pk1 > qa6 flash order.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] loganbeck14:
Ok then I might just stay on qa4 until nougat is released and then flash back to stock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
You might have something else going on. A bulk of the feedback I've seen is all positive. Any issues like you are talking about, are typically resolved by a factory reset (Pretty much a decent fix-all)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Yes you Must go back to PK1 if you are not on it Now. Then put QA6 on SD card, boot into Recovery, go to Install from SD Card, then down to where you highlite the file and hit On/Off to select and just leave it alone for maybe 15 min. or so until it reboots into Setup screen.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Follow the SD card method to install. Download the QA6 zip and put it on SD Card. You are going to LOOSE anything you had on the phone when you install QA6, phone will be on Setup screen after install just like a NEW phone is when you get it.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Yes if you are on QA4 Now you have to go back to PK1 with Odin, then install QA6 from SD card.
