[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Batteyr around 7 hours on regular basis and stretchable upto 9+ hours. Standby time of around 1.5 days.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox_Honor:
It is relatively heavy, which can be defined as heavy.

SOT is also important to me as I used to listen to music on my way home + youtube steaming for over two hours a day.

After Installing the Miui port ROM on f1f

(

I have lost VOLTE support on it

After I got back on stock...

I am unable To make calls

Tried Flashing modem through fastboot

But I didn't help....#

Any help would be greatly appreciated....
[SuperSU] farquea:
I had my phone rooted and all working fine on Nougat. I then tried installing secure settings for Tasker and since around this time, i've lost root and if i try flashing super su in TWRP, each time i boot and check i'm not rooted. If i open Super Su app it tells me that the framework needs to be updated and to reboot, i do this and it just keeps telling me the same.

The only thing i am thinking may have broken this is i found a guide to get Secure Settings working on nougat where someone suggested creating a folder with root file explorer called 'su' in system/bin. Now when i open up Titanium Backup it tells me it could not acquire root and say the attempt was made using the "/system/bin/su" command which im thinking means it's looking somewhere there is an empty folder?

I cant now of course delete the system/bin/su folder i created as i cant enable root in File Explorer so i'm pretty stuck and not sure what i can do. I've tried the cleanup and full unroot in the supersu app and then flashing supersu in twrp again but still says no root when i check

Any suggestions?
[SuperSU] Didgeridoohan:
This post was a bit more informative than your "my device unrooted itself" post in the stable thread.

Dirty flash your system or use the file manager in TWRP to remove the offending folder.
[SuperSU] farquea:
I was thinking of trying that but fixed it a different way as I just posted in the SuperSU thread. But in case anyone else ever has this problem...

I fixed my issue. By disabling SuperSU and enabling again from the app settings and it gave me root. I then deleted a created su folder in system/bin that I manually created earlier when trying to get secure settings working.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] GuestD0838:
Every time I reboot my phone, it resets to factory settings and I see the "Welcome" screen. It only does this when the time in TWRP is inaccurate (e.g. 10:03AM when it's 8:49PM). I've reinstalled twrp, reinstalled the ROM, locked and unlocked the bootloader, but nothing works. I just get the same blue screen.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmartinez39:
I've run into the same issues with all my devices. NANDROID backups are not 100% anymore ever since CM14.1 and now with LineageOS. I've tested the recoveries on LG G4, OP2, it is impossible to leave LineageOS because when you restore the any backup, stuff will be lost, particularly the SMS/MMS will get wiped, system settings are set to default and whatever other settings you have will not be restored.

I've read thread's that there is an issue with TWRP and Nougat, but how is everyone restoring their backups? Are there new steps that are different with 7.1.1?

Please any assistance would go a long way. This makes backup worthless and leaving any 7.1.1 ROM will be doomed to start from scratch?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oplix:
UPDATE: There is another set of instructions from user derektm. below which make a lot of sense. I didn't have a good understanding of how multi-csc roms functioned before.

This is a step by step guide on how to properly upgrade to Nougat while retaining Samsung Pay functionality. Thanks to user jhunkab for basically pointing everything out in another thread.

NOTES:

***YOU WILL BE WIPING THE PHONE*** UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE 6.0.1 DBT INSTALLED W/ SAMSUNG PAY ACTIVATED YOU CAN SKIP TO STEP 17.

STEPS

1. Download SAMFIRM 0.3.5

2. Download Odin 3.12.3

3. Open Samfirm

4. In "region" field enter DBT, press Check Update. You should now get a response for Android 6.0.1. Click Download (decrypt automatically checked)

5. Unzip file once downloaded

6. Backup anything you need on your phone (you will be completely wiping it)

7. Power down phone

8. Boot into flash (while holding down volume down+home button press and hold power button until blue screen appears. press volume up to continue) You should now be at a blue screen that says Downloading

9. Connect phone via micro USB to your computer and open Odin 3.12.3

10. You will now be selecting all files that you previously unzipped from the 6.0.1 DBT firmware. BL+AP+CP+CSC (**NOT HOME_CSC**)

11. Click Options tab in Odin, check Re-Partition

12. Once BL+AP+CP+CSC is loaded into Odin, press Start. Your phone will now begin flashing. Once Odin says it's finished, you can exit out of the program.

13. Wait until phone finishes flashing and boots up (this can take up to 5-10 minutes. be patient you are not in a bootloop)

14. Add WIFI, Google account, setup a fingerprint. don't bother with cloud recovery at this point (google/samsung)

15. Go to apkmirror.com and download Samsung Pay/Samsung Pay Framework from August 4th 2016 release. Install Framework first, then Samsung Pay (you will be prompted by security because they are side loaded)

16. Open Samsung Pay, go through the registration process, and add all your debit/credit cards. UPDATE application through settings>about. Verify that fingerprint authentication is initiating properly by pretending you are purchasing something. If you see the countdown, it's working.

17. Open Samfirm AGAIN

18. in Region enter BTU and press Check Update. It should populate with Android 7 firmware. Click download.

19. Unzip the file and open Odin

20. Repeat the same process for the BTU firmware EXCEPT instead of using CSC file you will now use HOME_CSC. (this is the HOME_CSC from the BTU firmware NOT the DBT one) **MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS NOT CHECKED IN OPTIONS TAB**

21. Press Start to flash Nougat BTU firmware.

22. Once it's finished, you are all set. You should now be on Nougat while still retaining your newly setup Samsung Pay from 6.0.1. Open the app to make sure everything is fine. If it goes back to registration or you do not see the Samsung Pay app, you did not flash correctly.

23. Restore your apps/cloud data and go about your life.

Enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruturaj001:
How about directly downloading 7 (BTU) and installing Samsung pay? Will that work?

Edit: Never mind, I am already on DBT for 6.0.1 with everything setup, I will just follow steps from 17 onwards.

Can you elaborate step 23 a little (How-to)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oplix:
Step 23 just means restore from whatever backup you had... or don't. However you want to set it up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChristopherXDA:
Thanks for posting these steps. I successfully updated after being on the beta with the DBT CSC code. Not sure if other people have this problem, but I am still unable to load an American Express card. This problem has existed for some time though. Otherwise the steps above seemed to work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HalVllVler:
Were you successful in starting from step 17? I'm in the same boat (DBT and already updated/setup) and will probably try this tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sstrunks84:
This worked for me as well. I was already on DBT so I started at step 17.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oplix:
Guys you are perfectly fine skipping to step 17 if you have DBT with samsung pay set up. Just flash BUT with HOME_CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruturaj001:
Thank you for making this thread.

Backup of google account, apps, local data (pictures and all)?

Will this update will work as an OTA update or flashing new ROM?

As Samsung pay app will retain data, I thought it works like OTA update.

Edit: Never mind. I am too dumb. You are flashing DBT first which is resetting everything.

One more question, will I receive OTA updates in future? (for UK or Germany Version)?

I haven't tried yet but others did. And it seems to works. I just had mac yesterday. Bringing my work laptop to home today to flash update.

Thank you sstrunks84 and oplix for letting me know.

Did it reset your phone? Data, accounts, applications?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sstrunks84:
[MENTION=4544452]Ruturaj001[/MENTION] all data stayed intact, and didn't have to restore or setup anything over again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruturaj001:
That is great news, thanks. I am planning to flash it tomorrow.

Edit: Flashed it, everything works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rajlesta:
you saved my day bro...

i did everything right by my own... but the real trick from you is Samsung Pay/Framework apk dated August 4th. I was using most latest version and it didnt help.

Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruturaj001:
Hey, everyone, I am having problem with installing theme, is anyone else is having one too?

Edit: I think I had that problem since I went from olympic edition to normal one. Flashed original Germany firmware. Everything works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HalVllVler:
Thanks for the great research and directions. Started at Step 17 after already being updated on DBT. All went smoothly and SPay seems intact.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamanRJN:
for me, all went well until i flashed nougat and it asked me that samsung pay be updated before it can be used. I gave "Later" to that and that was it, neither does the app open nor can it be updated from any of the stores. So I went ahead and flashed BTU with CSC and Re.Partition checked and decided to give up on Samsung Pay or until they announce it officially.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oplix:
You need to update it before flashing nougat. Look through the steps again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
Edit 2/23: Updated and reduced steps. Easier now.

BTU firmware is Multi CSC and has DBT CSC.... You guys are all doing it wrong if your setting up Samsung pay on MM and then flashing the HOME_CSC to prevent full wipe....

Proper way:

1) Flash MM DBT first using AP, BL, CP, and CSC. (The only reason for this is to set the phone to DBT CSC.) Allow phone to boot, go back to download mode (dont have to set anything up)

2) Flash BTU Nougat using AP, BL, CP, and CSC. (NOT Home_CSC).

Now you have clean, factory and OTA friendly Nougat BTU with DBT set as CSC (since BTU is multi csc, it doesnt change your csc from DBT, even using the normal CSC file for full wipe.) Set phone up and proceed....

3) Install this SPay APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Z0JzkNunQ5Z0pkOFhFbUNaLVk/view?usp=sharing It is untouched and was put on my phone by the SPay app itsself when it updated. The versions on APK mirror for some reason are different and do not work correctly. They are from an incorrect region or something.

5) Now go into Samsung Pay, add all your cards, and update to latest version, if there is one. Note: Samsung pay may fail the first startup and complain about a server connection issue. Force close the app and start over. Its normal.

6) Done.

I have received additional updates through the Samsung pay app since I set this up several weeks ago. So updates are not an issue and you will always have latest version.

:D

Your instructions are all good. Didn't know about the multi-csc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
Its not hijacking its better information. This is a community to help each other and if the method can be improved then I am sure it is welcomed by the other members. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oplix:
This is not "better" information. The correct procedure is posted already. Do not confuse people. Someone was confused and you decided to add additional conflicting information.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] XuperLugia:
Don´t be like that, there's no correct procedure in phone hacking world, his instructions seems clearer and also make more sense since you get a just wiped Nougat build in the phone and not an updated one.

Welcome to the internet, if you don't like listening to others you shouldn't be here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhunkab:
Has anyone confirmed this to be a working method - besides OP?

I know the post#1 works; pretty much what I had done earlier - and used it yesterday after accidentally wiping my device while updating Nougat. I could have used this.. but didn't get to this post :)

This one would come handy when next time Mr Murphy strikes.

It seems the key is the version of Spay & framework that works in Nougat - and continues to work after update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lc6888:
It works, just got my Samsung pay app working again with the second method. Thanks to all who helped and came up with the methods!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasotastic:
nub questions

It has been a long time since I was into anything like this. (I last rooted a droid Razr, if that gives some idea)

Is there anything that OP's instructions expect a user to have done prior to starting this process? Or can a user who is on Stock Android 6.0.1 start from step 1 and end up with 7.0 and working Samsung Pay? For example, if a user has never used Samsung Pay, does he need to set that up first?

Are there any gotchas that would keep this for working for a user? For instance, if a user has previously tripped knox, does Samsung Pay still fail to work, and this turns into just a handy guide to getting nougat?

[MENTION=4385157]derektm.[/MENTION] do you think flashing a 6.0 CSC from a country that Samsung Pay has rolled out on Nougat (BTU) is a good idea? Wondering if it will work. My home country has rolled out Samsung Pay for my Bank's cards but I'm on BTU and have no UK cards / account (plus Samsung Pay is still MIA in the UK)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
It will only work if you flash it before flashing BTU, and it has to be a CSC that BTU supports (BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, NEE, XEF, XEO, XEU), and that country has to support samsung pay as well.

BTW, instead of having to flash multiple Samsung pay apk's and doing updates, I exported the latest SPay apk from my phone. It is untouched. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Z0JzkNunQ5Z0pkOFhFbUNaLVk/view?usp=sharing The latest APK on apkmirror are different from what the real SPay app updates and installs on your phone and don't work.

I just did this with a friend a few days ago. 1) He flashed MM DBT, 2) Flashed Nougat BTU, 3) Installed my APK. Done.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] slee2714:
Hi, i am in the US using an italian s7 edge exynos on att. I want to use spay and also have whitepages support. Ive been waiting for 7.0 germany dbt firmware because i was told that this would give me spay + whitepages.

Can i use your method on my non us edge, flash mm dbt, then flash 7.0 btu, and install your apk for spay to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
Yes but obviously use edge mm and btu files. I love the whitepages support and it does work with this setup. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] leekslk:
It's a no go for me then, phone was on XSG (not sure about this) / SIN before. And the Samsung Pay country I was interested is from Singapore
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
[MENTION=2522423]leekslk[/MENTION] why would it not work? It does not matter what your phone was on originally. If you flash DBT it will force your phone to be DBT, and stay DBT with a BTU rom. Why do you need Singapore rom? Carrier reasons?

Also it looks like Samsung Pay is rolled out in Singapore. Couldn't you just flash straight to Singapore and then install Samsung pay APK if its not already included?

Edit: Unless Nougat isn't out for Singapore yet. Thats the whole reason we are doing the double flash to begin with, if a supported country had its rom out, we could just go straight to that.

Edit2: Australian Nougat G935F is out. You could try flashing directly to that, and then installing the APK, or it may come with it. As soon as Samsung pay supported roms come out, we wont have to do any of this anymore anyways. Just make sure you keep the whitepages support with whichever rom you choose.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhunkab:
shared version of Spay APK came handy - my attempt to move up from DQB7 to DQBD using home_csc for DBT DQB1 didn't go well. had to reset and go back to DQB7 package - interestingly when I used this version (spay-2.5.13-251300123) it not only worked - it brought back the Samsung reward debit card and and a gift card, that was lost in my last Nougat update mishap :)

I was able to update the application from within - didn't have to install/update SPay framework - it was already in phone.

Thanks for this tip & download.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
No problem! Yep Spay just updated to 2.6.00. Verified a transaction with the update and everything is still good.

Edit: [MENTION=489346]jhunkab[/MENTION] I am not sure I understand your update procedure...but Nougat BTU has been updated once since release. I flashed the latest update using odin, and using the home_csc of that latest update. It will not overwrite your data or change your csc. Is that what you did?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] leekslk:
Yup exactly. No nougat for Singapore yet. I read somewhere that it wouldn't be until April. Well I will wait I guess? I could flash DBT but I only have supported cards from Singapore. Since Samsung pay is also MIA in Switzerland.

Thanks for doing the extra research for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
So SPay from DBT region wont support Singapore cards?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhunkab:
TL;DR flashing mix-and-match components sometimes does not go well.

I was on DQB7 (BL, AP) DQB1(DBT-CSC, CP).. I had used Home_CSC for BTU DQB1 - along with BL,AP&CP taken from OPS CSC (Australia) DQBD. After update - data was not wiped but system became un-responsive with IMS error, system process foreclosing and screen not responding well to touch - capacitive buttons worked well. I suspect something didn't play well between CSC and DQBD firmware set.

I then took smart switch back-up from this hung state and reflashed older set back (with CSC - to reset) - restored the back-up - it hung again, i suspected some restored data is causing error. I then reset the settings to default from within Settings->General Management - very tricky to manage when touch screen does not behave! Phone started working well after settings reset - backed-up data worked fine. I then installed your mentioned SPay file version, updated it and all good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] maquechen:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] slee2714:
Nougat DBT is out for S7 but not for S7 edge. WHY???

I would also like to know the answer to your question.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derektm.:
You should be able to flash straight DBT Nougat if it's out. It may come with SPay but if not, yes you can flash my APK and it will work.
