Your dreams are now reality!

You can install Nougat easily on your Galaxy s7 edge!!

1)Download Odin 3.12.3 .zip file and run/open Odin3 v3.12.3.exe file from the extracted files on your PC.

2)Download the Nougat firmware for your device from the downloads section above, and unzip the .zip file to get the files starting with AP, CSC, Home_CSC, BL and CP in the beginning of their name.

3)Enable OEM unlock on your phone:

Go to Settings » About phone » and tap Build number seven times to enable Developer options.

4)Go back to main Settings page, scroll to bottom and select Developer options from there.

Under Developer options, look for Enable OEM unlock checkbox/toggle and enable it.

5) Boot your device into Download mode:

Switch off your device.

Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.

Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.

6) Once your device is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin window on PC should detect the device and show an “Added!!” message.

7) Now we’ll select each firmware file (from files we got in Step 2 above) into the appropriate box in Odin.

Click on CSC tab and select the firmware file starting with HOME_CSC in its name.

└ Note: Do NOT select the regular CSC file that starts with CSC in its name, as that would replace your CSC and thus would result factory data reset of the device.

Click on CP tab and select file starting with CP in its name.

Click on BL tab and select the file starting with BL in its name.

Click on AP tab and select the file starting with AP in its name.

└ Note: DON’T play with any other options on Odin the screen. You’re only required to connect your device and select the firmware files as instructed above.

Click the Start button on Odin and wait for it to finish the process. Once it has finished successfully, you’ll see a pass message on the Odin screen.

8) Your device will automatically reboot when Odin is done flashing. You can then disconnect your device.

└ It might take some time for the first boot after flashing a stock firmware.

That’s it. Your Galaxy S7/Galaxy S7 Edge is now rocking Android Nougat update.

9) enjoy :)

How do you guys feel about the quality and color of the screen? This is the first phone that I've owned that I've had to keep the display mode on "vibrant" and not on standard. Standard mode on this phone looks so bland and washed out. There is no way it displays "realistic" color. Vibrant looks more normal to me.

It's awesome.

And keep your display mode in vibrant only tp get better quality.?

Hi!

I have an Indian Version of S7 Edge G935FD and I wish to flash the BTU version for the Nougat update.

I have a few queries first:

1. Can I use an Indian Sim (Or Any other country's Sim)on the rom? (The packaging has the Indian Sim Only label)

2. Will the network be smooth? I use 4G here. Are there any issues that I may face or any one of you faced?

3. Anything else I should know?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] criss_007:
Thank You for the quick reply!

Yes. I am too excited for Nougat so I'm unable to control myself. The issue is there is no word on when the Nougat will come in India. The samsung officials have no comment except "There is no update about it yet" or "we do not have official timeline for nougat update in Indian market"

An official word on an estimated time frame for the update would work wonders. Is there any reason why I should wait?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Nah, no real reason to wait. Go ahead and flash the UK BTU ROM and then update to Nougat :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Yep, that's the one :)

Just unzip the download into a folder. There'll be 4 or 5 files. Just choose each one for the relevant section in Odin (you'll see it obvious) then flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] criss_007:
Finished the flashing process! Odin sort of showed a not responding title after I selected the ap file but I figured it was doing its job and waited patiently. It paid off! It finished loading and I started and flashed successfully. Boot up was fine and now I'm downloading a 1291.19 gb update!

Yay!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Awesome, you're almost done :)

Yep, the AP file takes a short time in Odin to select as I think it just scans it first to check the md5 is correct.

Hi,

thanks again for porting some apps.

Flashed, nice to have something different but i got some issues with music widget and blinkfeed which need a lot of others apps to work. Could not get standard news.

Nevertheless, with this you can sense your 5x : )
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] thilak devraj:
well, i can get standard news tho.. (download the news republic to blinkfeed.. and other services should be installed by yourself..) see the screenshot.. i can get feed from twitter

As we all know Samsung has started pushing the final Nougat build to users, Indians are going to get the OTA soon in the coming weeks. I want to update my phone finally & root it at the same time. Before I do that I wanted to clarify the steps I'm going to perform with you guys to avoid any mistakes. Hope this is full proof.

I'm currently on 6.0.1 SM930FD.

The attached screenshot has all the steps I'm going to perform, the only change is step 12 where ROM will change to Super su zip file.

I hope there is no modem changes? Or any sort of bootloader upgrade that needs to be performed?

Thanks for all the help people, hope this helps everyone.

Its the same procedure I think. We have got the rooted Custom STOCK ROMs as well.

So I've been watching some videos on how to root s7 on nougat & I can see mostly people using magisk with phh root? I really liked the idea of magisk as we can un root the device at any give point just with a simple switch. Imagine OTA updates (not sure if it works) though there is flash fire for that purpose but if magisk works flawless then why not? What are your thoughts on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killer333:
Worked on the root today and posted a thread. Root is working on Nougat. No Problem. You've to use the latest supersu build.

Here is the thread

---------- Post added 19th January 2017 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 18th January 2017 at 11:58 PM ----------

If you use this, you may get bootloop on Nougat :p Better to root and remove the apps by Titanium Backup.

Did you try it on Nougat ?

---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

[/COLOR]

Yeah I've seen that video made by Shark Jungle channel in YouTube. I did not try that.

He said that Magisk is not workin at the moment.

To use phh root, you need TWRP.

And Inorder to get the OTA updates, you need to have stock Recovery :p

BTW, You can also unroot in supersu with one click.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomguy4321:
Hi I need a new phone and the Zenfone 2 seems to fit my needs. I'd like to know opinions from current owners regarding the following.

Community

How's the support for this phone? I don't need a bazillion ROMs just one official CM that works well and is solid. If there's no CM are there at least ROMs without the propietary UI? Also does double tap 2 wake work on other roms or just the stock and stock based ones?

Bootloader and root

On my old Nexus 5 this was as easy as it gets. I know there are some phones that are a complete pain in the ass to unlock bootloader and root like some Samsung phones. So how easy is it to do these things on the Zenfone? How easy is to break (and brick) and recover?

Audio

I've owned a couple of seemingly badly engineered phones that would make headphones hiss and crackle when listening music and using mobile data or wifi at the same time. This phone doesn't suffer from anything like this does it?

GPS

My Nexus 5 was a disaster regarding this, sometimes taking 5-10 minutes to get a lock. Not terribly important but nice to have.

Screen

This is the most important factor, a bad screen is a deal breaker for me. I plan on watching lots of media on this phone so this is very important. I like neutral, slightly warm and punchy colors, can live with a too warm and yellow screen and absolutely abhorre blueish screens. How's the color and contrast on the Zenfone? Im quite pleased with my Nexus 5 screen, quite neutral and a bit punchy without overdoing it like some Samsung phones. I've also owned an lg optimus g that is the nexus 4 cousin, the screen on that was atrociously blue with no contrast. Thankfully there were custom kernels with fine color, contrast and gamma tuneablity, does the Zenfone have anything like this? I know it has a color profile picker by default but I'd like something with even finer control. Would like to know if said feature works on other roms or just the stock one and if its merely an overlay like those cheap apps on the playstore or if it works at kernel level. Max brightness and sunlight legibility are not important for me.

Battery

I've heard people say this phones battery life is atrocious but so did they about the N5 yet I was ok with my N5 battery life. I don't use my phone much so maybe that's why. Still would like to know if it's really bad, my N5 gets 4 days on standby and almost 4 on web browsing on wifi. Im perfectly ok with those numbers, is the Zenfone better or worse?

Camera

There's no mention of Optical Image Stabilization on reviews but most new phones have it, just want to confirm the Zenfone has it too. RAW support would be nice too.

Performance and x86

From all the info I could gather the Z3560 is roughly on par with my N5 old S 800, am I right about this? Also this would be my first x86 phone, it is my understanding that since android is a java vm I shouldn't have any app incompatibility problems, is this correct? Is the extra $ worth it for the 4gb z3580 version?

If it's of any importance my other options are the Note 3 and 4 and the LG G2 and G3.

All opinions appreciated.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I had a note 3 with an unlocked bootloader. Rooting and installing TWRP was very easy and there is a lot of support for the phone on XDA. It's pretty easy to recover from a soft-brick but a hard brick is very difficult.

The G2 is also a nice phone. Even with a locked bootloader, bumped TWRP and bumped ROMs make installation very easy. Autorec simplifies the rooting process. The G2 can be recovered from virtually any brick. For a soft brick, recovery is a bit easier than a softbricked Zenfone 2.

In my opinion, the note 3 screen is nicer than both the Zenfone 2, G2, and G3. The Note 4 screen is nicer than all 3 phones.

The camera on the G3 and Note 4 and better than the note 3 and G2.

Note 3 and 4 have great battery life and the battery is easily replaced with good aftermarket batteries from Anker and Stallion.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mermaidkiller:
Since the upgrade to Android 8 Oreo I have a similar problem.

After two days uptime (i.e. time after a reboot), the screen won't turn on when clicking on the power button or the fingerprint scanner. Only holding the on button a few seconds it shows the power / reboot prompt. Clicking the screen or fingerprint scanner then turns it on.

After a reboot the problem does not appear for one or two days and then it starts over again. Even the alarm clock cannot be stopped.

I wiped cache and system cache but to no avail.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mermaidkiller:

I saw that 'system_server' is on top with 100-110% CPU (multicore CPU hence above 100%). Is that correct ?
