So if i update my s7 active to nougat, to the version that ends in pl4, am i going to be able to get ota updates in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] ItsDon:
Good question, anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jimd1050:
My answer, having BPL4 installed and having run "Software Update" at least every third day to check for Security Updates or whatever, all I get every time is "Software is up to Date" - I believe because BPL4 is "More than up to Date" so to speak and AT&T's servers have no idea what to do with our phones???

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] diego97yey:
Does samsung pay work with BPL4 Nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] ItsDon:
Yes, Samsung Pay works if you run the older version of the app. The newest version that ships with the rom doesn't work. Don't allow Samsung to update the app and you'll be golden.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] fegato:
Well I updated to OA7, I was on PL4 and I had to reflash Pi2 then PK2 then PL1 as updates to Nougat need PL1 to apply:

PL4 as OA7 are not officially announced, so probably they'll skip them from the OTA update, and well'have to downgrade to PL1 again...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] fegato:
nope, unfortunately you have to go back to PL1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] steveo314:
How about a QA1 to PL4?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] fegato:
neither. also I know could sound a paradox but is actually a downgrade, as android version is newer but build is older so I'm almost sure is not gonna happen: the only way as for now is go to PL1 then OA7 for latest Nougat available

I would assume is a beta as is still not official on at&t site as you can see: https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KM1136420?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG891A

What is sure is that has not been officially relased.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] miniminus:
all this jumping back and fourth, with factory resets etc etc ...

what do people use to backup/restore there phone to how they like it ..

especially as Nougat doesn't have root ! (so titanium and alike isnt an option)

personally ive been using 'super backup' for call logs, sms, then standard google, for apps, and contacts

but with these option (and i dont think there is an option) things like; WiFi passwords/connections are lost, main screenlayout, selected themes/wallapapers etc, alarms, are lost each time.

also found that the gallery never finds all my previous taken pictures,,, even thou they in same place and continue to save them in the same place

it doesn't repopulate, with the older taken pictures etc ... :(

so curious to know what you all use !!

2.5.13 is what I'm running and it work's - newest version is 2.6.* but I don't believe that will work with this Nougat so do not allow the update!

2/25/17 - EDIT: I was wrong - the Samsung Pay 2.6 does work on PL4 as others have stated... thank God because when I went to update it, Play Store had already done it for me without asking!!! :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] steveo314:
Should be just like the PL1 to PL4 or the PL1 to QA7. I haven't been able to try them because I wouldn't be able to Odin back to PL1. I know how to modify the Android scripts and I appreciate you guys helping try them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] xc rider:
Why can't you Odin back? I'm just trying to cover my bases. I'm familiar with root/modding on other manufacturers but it's been a long time since I've done anything with samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jimd1050:
Here's a good question my wife asked me this morning - "When AT&T finally does come with the Official Nougat OTA what will THEY do with those of you (meaning me) running PL4?" Will they Upgrade or skip us? Should we think about doing the Odin back to PL1 just before OTA time? Would be good to know ahead of time? When I check now to try and get Security Updates, they ALWAYS say "Software is Up to Date"!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] steveo314:
Be interesting to test and see if it will upgrade you. If it doesn't you can always Odin back to PL1 and then let it upgrade you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jimd1050:
THEN... the question becomes, once the AT&T Servers have attempted to send you the OTA and seen (or assume) that you don't need it, are you removed from the list? Might be better to do the Odin switch back before you accept the OTA rather than take the chance and lose out! I'm all for experiments and all but I don't like losing the ability to get security updates (which is where I am right now) - my Security Level is Dec 12 16:26:07 2016 - NOT GOOD!

Of course, by the time all of this transpires and might become an issue to me, the Note 8 might be out and it would then be a non-issue again. My S7 Active would be in a box somewhere on a shelf in my office, or maybe For Sale! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] khaliullov:
Don't worry.

There are no special lists with devices to update. When you click "check the updates" your device just sends its firmware version to update server. Server searches for update file from your version to next one. If there is such update file it offers you to update.

Also I think that the first Nougat version PL4 will not receive any updates, but you always can go back to PI2 via Odin and manually apply OTA updates from SD card to the latest version (PI2 -> PK2 -> PL1 -> QA7) or just via checking updates if you are using AT&T sim card.

I live in Russia and OTA updates are not working in normal way and I am applying updates manually from SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jimd1050:
Excellent! Thank you for the info - I was at PL1 from AT&T before I applied "dogmatism's" PL4 file. I'm not sure if I would have received the QA1 OTA from AT&T had I not done the PL4 file so I don't know what to Odin back to when the time comes, PL1 or QA1? I guess either would probably work as I may have just refused the QA1 when AT&T offered it, right? ;) (And Yes, I am running on an AT&T SIM Card)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] steveo314:
I'd go back to PL1 when you are wanting to. You can one of 3 ways from there. QA1 is a dead end til we get the QA1 to QA7 or the OTA from AT&T, which I don't know if they are going to since the 2 brothers got it when we got QA1.

I'm almost going to start buying devices from other countries or Google devices. I hate having my phone locked down. Its not like the Galaxy S1, which we had root for before the phone was released.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] apatheticatheist:
Is there anyway to do PI2 to Nougat using Odin? I do not have an SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] steveo314:
1. Odin back to PI2. Use the modified Odin.exe Download

2. Follow this guide to use adb to install the couple upgrade zips to get to QA7: ADB GUIDE

3. Files for adb are here: Download

*These are just the standalone files, so you won't have to go through the whole sdk config process.

**Before you start adb, run it through this program or adb won't work with the Nougat update:

LAA Download

I just got confirmation that Galaxy S7 Active OTAs have begun... am waiting for answer as to which Carrier and what Baseband Version is being sent... two different guys over on Android Central got 1500 MB Updates this morning that stated "Android Nougat 7.0 plus enhancements" - I'm just waiting for one of them to answer me!

Baseband: g891aucu2bqb2

Is there another name for Carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] miniminus:
yeah i know that... was referring as to WHAT was stopping the phone using these ! ..

especially the ones named correctly (PL1 to PL4 for eg ... ) if you Odin back to PL1, what 'stops' it using these....

of course if your on QA1, theres no actually update on the server that would work from there ...

so eventually they will put a Qa1-Qb2 update for public ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jimd1050:
Yes, AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile... it's AT&T that's sending it today! That's what I meant by Carrier! And your build is correct - G891AUCU2BQB2! That means I have to do the ODIN thing back to MM to get the OTA dammit... awww, I don't feel like doing this right now! I just got the phone running the way I liked it with PL4... but I'll never get any Security updates or anything legal unless I do it so...
