From my experience, OTA updates only work with the stock recovery.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] infernalhotdog7777:
So annoying not everyone getting update
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
U will get it buddy.

Just be patient.

Most of the improvements are under the hood.

I would advice not rooting just waiting.

They said it would happen in Feb so they ain't missed thier promice add yet
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] clsA:
not true .. you can use dload/update.app and flash right over TWRP with the 3 button flash

Same is true for OTA update ... it never checks for stock recovery it just flashes new recovery right over the existing one
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] evilpaul13:
I'm using it and was able to decipher that the giant "N" logo and version 7.0 means it's Nougat version 7.0.

I'm referring to the same thing I've been referring to. The fifth post in the thread. If people really need links to Dictionary.com to explain the meanings of adjectives commonly found to describe relative place in enumerated lists like "first", "initial", "second", "final", etc I can provide them.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] bricky23:
Oh Yah Lol
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] :
So I still haven't updated through HiCare, and I'm probably going to wait until I get the OTA since I don't want to wipe my device twice (First for B360, then for final Nougat)

Since sdcard not detected, how to flash supersu.zip?

I tried method sideload but it doesn't work well.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I got a notification on Saturday from Samsung with said that on Jan 31st they are issuing another update which will prevent battery charging completely and disable mobile network access.

This is GREAT news, because it means there can be ZERO question of whether I'd be able to get a refund or not when I take my Note7 back when the S8 comes out (or whatever else I decide to change it to.)

Thanks Samsung!

(Of course the update won't affect me, so I'll carry on using my Note7 until then.)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Ultimate:
This had also crossed my mind, if one owns Note7 until S8 Note8 is released, will samsung be willing to replace Note7 (a flagship device) for the next best thing equivalent at the time S8 Note8 is launched?

Another question also crossed my mind, regardless if I have everything that came with the phone and I am lawful owner of the phone but have no proof of purchase, will smasung still be willing to replace it for me or thats just a pipe-dream?

To my understanding, samsung cannot refuse to replace Note7 to anything but the best thing available at the time, so when note8 S8 is out etc, they shouldnt be offering S7 as a replacement at the time, what do you think?

Also, another thought (bare with me here) , samsung had 96% of 3million devices sold returned, of which 220000 were taken under very intense testing and investigations to reproduce faults and what not, so look at this now, once all is now done and clear to public, they have over 2.5 million note7 in stock that require a new safe battery replacement issue, reboxing and should sell worldwide or in some limited regions for a discounted price as a safe refurbs (some time soon I guess), they wouldnt just burry all that gold worth pile of Note7's now , would they?

I almost sense a new "Note7S" coming out some time very soon, carrying "S" on the back as being SAFE with probably reworked same capacity safe battery or with some 3000mAh battery and free wireless charging backpack battery pack case that samsung was selling for note7 phones.

Your thoughts?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] xxxMJTxxx:
Hi how are you going to manage that this 31st January will not affect you? Please share as I still have note 7.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I've got all the updates blocked mate. Have a search on this forum and you'll find plenty of ways to do that, depending on what updates your phone has had already.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] xxxMJTxxx:
Ok

It had 60 percent battery cap update forced to me overnight last year but I flashed that with older firmware so it went back to 100 percent, I also installed old 6.3 package disabler and blocked all programs mentioned on forum.

Is there anything else would you advice to do additionally?

M.

Thanks
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I'm no expert mate, but I think you are good to go. You could try No Root Firewall as well I guess, but I haven't bothered. I have decided not to take ANY Samsung updates though - even for things like Smart Switch and Samsung Health etc - just in case the crafty barstards decide to hide something nasty in their apps.

They've been utter sheets about this whole thing. They have TOTALLY forgotten that they DO NOT own MY phone! It is MINE, not THEIRS!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] xxxMJTxxx:
:)

Ha Ha I thought so!

I have no root firewall but not sure how to set it up being honest

I had Samsung Billing pushed to me few days ago but for some reason I cannot find it under applications in my mobile so I hope Evil Sam is not hidden there waiting to reactivate.

So really we will see after 31st what is going to happen, I really would hate to go back to Note 3 I still have, however it was also good mobile for few years back ago.

How many people still are using/own N7 in UK you reckon?

M.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Honestly, I have no clue, but I guess it must be quite a few. They wouldn't be going to the trouble of writing software updates for just a handful of phones would they!

I wonder why on earth they didn't actually stop to think WHY people are not returning their phones? For some clever people, they have behaved like they have the brains of goldfish.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
the same update is world wide, altering it for different countries is a minor point as the majority of the changes comes in the form of the bands and network support, if they are removing all network support all they need is something that works on the exynos hardware, also the UK phones are the international phones so they are actually used across a load of countries so it is probably a large portion of the world covered by the same update as the UK.

also as I said there is little need for the networks to do their modifications since they all come in the form of network support that has been removed in this update.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Phlip00ws6:
No matter what it's going to be a nightmare. I wouldn't expect it to be as simple as walking into your carrier's store and swapping out for s8 - even though I do remember someone over at Samsung saying there was going to be a discount on "the next big thing". I'm in San Jose so Im going to HQ with mine, f em.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BeeWall:
They're probably paranoid about being sued on the off chance someone else's phone blows up. It would be bad press if it happens again, probably followed by ignorant people saying that Samsung should have tried harder to stop it, etc etc, because some people have probably missed the whole thing till now and haven't noticed anything. Plus, Samsung wants to be able to say 100% recalled and returned.

FYI I don't own this device, just trying to answer this question. Maybe all of you who have it should put "Proud owner of the Note 7. Take that Samsung" or something in your sigs lol. It would be kinda funny to see.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] winol:
in my country, Mexico, there have not been, any sort of batt capping updates, or any threatening messages about anything! as no burning reports here, the consumer bureau has not issued any order or authorization on the matter, here would be unlawful to capp or restrict the use of a legally owned device, so, all very cool over here
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung can do anything they want. If you think whatever that is violates a law or your rights as a consumer its up to you and/or whatever governmental agency is involved to get them to do something different. That could take months. Many months. In the meantime you'll be stuck living with whatever decision they make - whether it's "legal" or not. Fighting multi-billion dollar conglomerates isn't for the feint of heart.

Sadly there are people who've tried to do the right thing that are stuck in Samsung's matrix and no law or governmental agency has rescued them. I can't imagine said agency's will feel a lot of sympathy for people who've held on to a phone declared potentially dangerous by its manufacturer for the length of time being discussed here. "I kept my potentially dangerous phone because I didn't like any of the alternatives" or "I was waiting for the Galaxy S8 to come out" seem like pretty self-serving reasons not to take advantage of all the remedies (including a full refund) Samsung provided. This isn't black and white and certainly not a typical "fit for purpose" issue.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Ultimate:
All doesnt matter and all goes against the law, just risk of hazard makes them liable indefinitely until its back at their possession and no harm caused during the time.

Im no fain hearted and I dont own 7 figure bank account but I know its not a rocket science to bring giant companies such as apple or samsung to their knees, again, its not for faint hearted, I was talking from a legal stand point.

Darkness and high-cliff edge walking heights are usually appearing dangerous things for most, until they're certain and know there is nothing dangerous/hazardous in the dark and walking the cliff edge not without protections and precautions, metaphorically speaking.

Take a case where mobile phone gets on fire and one or many people suffers fatal consequences, days, months or even years from now, and investigators dig up samsung note7, who they gonna blame? Who has the case against who? Looking from even early state all cards are against samsung where there disaster happens or not samsung should be waist deep to do whatever necessary to sort their clients out. And yes they can try to attempt "write their own laws" warning consumers, threatening with return closing deadlines, refusing to take back dangerous devices back in, blocking devices, etc its their cards their game against everyone, not that they are more than the majority, I call it one against all and no matter how much money they are worth, it can take just few big cases and they will soon realize what wrong turn things can take, not that they would be willing to take such risks when and if case is brought to the round table.

Heck, even a 3 year ago my 10+ year Honda got a safety recall letter warning about potentially defective airbag systems and all was replaced at surprisingly my convenience cost free, even the car was bought second hand and I am probably 3rd or 4th owner of that vehicle, auto manufacturers know about how this game be played out i suppose, has been in this game before or seen it happen, consequences are clear to them if potential event take place, they would not only put someone deep in dirt, they would be there themselves as a consequence, so they took no risks, and I was pleasantly surprised at the same too how much forthcoming they were to sort this out, and note - this is 10+ year old product, not much different case to the one were talking about here, and I believe if they went this far with thing such as this, how much further they would have taken things if they would have found out that these vehicle models would have been a hazardous risk of fire and explosion while driving, parked at house garage etc? Go beat this statement
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I reckon you work for Samsung. You must do, or you would have quit your tiresome campaign by now.

And as for "Samsung can do what they like", well let's see how successful they are on Tuesday shall we?

I'll post my update from my unrooted Note7 on Wednesday.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Ultimate:
I've unrooted Note7 also, dont want to touch any mods yet until its definitely necessary
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Read this. The poor sod has been fighting Samsung since 2015 over his SGS4. At the end of the day you have to put a value on your time. The amount of time you'd have to spend even with legal assistance is probably worth more than what you spent on your Note7. The time some here have spent fighting the fighting noose is probably worth half the cost of their phone.

I'm all for principle but there's also the law of diminishing returns. Life's too short to intentionally seek out battles. At least for me. If I'm going to invest heap loads of my time that could be spent doing other more entertaining and productive things it wouldn't be over a mobile phone. It would be for something far more noble.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
While I'd love to see Samsung getting screwed right back, I can't imagine there won't be a final return date of some sort and them actually exchanging the phone for the new models. They just sound too cheap for that :(
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Ultimate:
Im not going to talk much, but that's not even serious case and analogy is just wrong. Compare this - buying matchbox to light the fire place at home but these matchboxes keep exploding and potentially setting itself on fire on random times (case #1) vs. match box that doesnt have 100% of the content or doesnt light up/doesnt burn every time you strike it (case #2).

Yes, its no brainer about law diminishing returns, if you dont have serious case and intelligent sought trough evidence, plan put together that will be serving to the finish line, and all , dreamland ego and being naive left behind - there is no chance to expect something good coming out of it.

We're talking about life threatening hazardous product here.

Have a great day.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Barry, my plan is to take my Note7 back to Samsung when I am ready (and not before) and ask for my money back, which I am very sure they will agree to, since they are obviously so very keen to get it back.

If in the monumentally unlikely event they say, "no, we'd like you to keep it please" (you're not REALLY suggesting that are you???!?) then I can file a small claim online in 20 minutes. It's a total no-brainer.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Had a similar message 3 or 4 days ago and again yesterday. Tried to screen capture it but on both occasions the message disappeared before I could. I am bog standard just have PDP 6.3 and 7 items checked. That got me through 60% and 30% and still OK up to now (11:25 am). Can someone post exactly what the message said (I know it was something about making the device unusable).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I don't know how to retrieve old notifications now. You used to be able to view the notifications log, but I think in Marshmallow I think it's no longer possible without an app to do it.

The message basically said they are issuing an update today which will prevent charging completely and prevent telephone network access. Apparently you will still be able to operate the phone when the battery is flat, simply for the purposes of running Smart switch. How very thoughtful of them.

I'm guessing the mechanism to issue this update will be blocked, as were the previous updates.
