I don't think you can because it seems to contain all properties set when booted up, not just the factory default ones.

Android Oreo is last big update for S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maXDAmn:
ah that's sad. SD820/exynos + 4GB of ram is more than enough to running an android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sremick:
Unfortunately. The S9 is a crap phone. Ugly, and the horrible curved sides are stupid and interfere with proper case protection. Not even sure there's any variation of the S9 with unlocked an bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dvfcpl:
:/

The S7 Hardware is compatible with the Android Pie, the Snapdragon 820 (or Exynos 8890) run perfectly, but the Sammy don't want give the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Not any US variation, but the Exynos model is same as always with official TWRP support and ROM's.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sremick:
So you're saying the Exynos S8 and S9 still have unlocked bootloaders? I swear I had read that that stopped being the case, but I'd welcome being wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Yep, there's big development sections for both

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/samsung-galaxy-s9--s9-cross-device-development

The TWRP thread also has the same bootloader unlock steps, but reading it now it does mention apparently phones have a 7 day cool down before OEM unlock becomes possible.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gruuvin:
The S7 flat was the last hardware Samsung did right in a phone. The Samsung experience is overblown. The curved screen is gimmick. The specs for S8 and S9 are not great for the $ compared to S7. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything awesome in Android 9, which will take a year to never. Until then, LOS 16 will become stable and bug free.

Have a good day.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sremick:
No, that'd be the S5 which still had a removable battery and did it while still being water-resistant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Huzaifa_Aziz:
Same thoughts here... Good day to you too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gruuvin:
So, are we saying that the last update for the S7 was Android 8.0.0 (obvious), or are we saying that Samsung has proclaimed that there will be no Android 9 update to the S7 (not so obvious)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maXDAmn:
i really hope the android pie will be the last for S7/Edge. but, the latest security patch i've got is 1st august, so i think there's no chance for S7/Edge to get the android pie. 2 year for major upgrade and 3/4 year for security patch (Quarterly not monthly).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] maXDAmn:
November security patch
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] _1And0nlyDonkey_:
Nothing official but there is always lineage os or other custom roms.

Someone may end up porting pie touchwiz but probably not anytime soon
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Exanimus:
Ofcourse they won't give the update, they just want to sell new phones instead of keeping the old ones running.

Even the Google security patches takes really long time for them to push out, i waited 4 months on security patches even thou they are obligated to push them out within 90 days.

I think just 3 4 second when switch from front to back cam, overall everything seen ok., about fp gesture, there is a fix on xd p2 app mod and theme forum
[Nexus 6P General] colinlikesfood:
I searched enough forum posts on XDA and elsewhere that resulted in <null> that i was ASTOUNDED when I FINALLY got this to work.

My goal was to, while remote and connected to home via VPN, to use my phone to browse to and download a file directly onto my NAS. Downloading it locally (ie, onto the phone), then copying/moving it to my NAS via ES File Explorer was a pain in the rear, and just not good enough for me in today's fast-paced no-patience world. Plus, too many posts I read ended in "it can't be done" so my stubborn butt would not give up ;):D

SOOOoooo... here it is:

To mount a CIFS/SMB share from a remote network to a local directory on your device:

1 - Prerequisites:

- root

- francokernel

- busybox (pro?)

- ES File Explorer with root access

2 - /etc/fstab:

- I found a file on github that I can't link because I've been leaching off of XDA for years and haven't contributed enough to post links.

- Google the phrase "nexus 6p fstab", for me the github page with the fstab file is the first search result

- I saved that file on my phone as (*gasp*) /etc/fstab

3 - create local path:

- I chose to create /data/media/0/my_local_path because (A) /data exists in the fstab file, and (B) /data/media/0 seems to me to be the source of or a symlink to /sdcard (*and/or*?) /storage/emulated/0 (not sure to be honest, haven't researched this yet)

Edit: I still haven't researched why, but the path I created in /data/media/0/ did not survive a reboot. I instead made /data/my_path and so far this is sticking around.

4 - setup download directory:

- since I don't use ES Downloader for any other purpose, I chose it as my download-to-NAS app.

- I set the default download directory for ES Downloader to /data/media/0/my_local_path

5 - mount command:

- in a command prompt on my desktop machine with the phone connected via USB:

adb shell
angler:/ $ su
angler:/ # setenforce Permissive
angler:/ # exit
angler:/ $ su --mount-master -c busybox mount -o username=myshareaccessusername,password=myshareaccesspassword,rw,noperm,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8 -t cifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/path/to/my/share /data/media/0/my_local_path
angler:/ $ su
angler:/ # setenforce Enforcing

Edit: This worked the first time, but after a reboot is got "sh: busybox: not found". Did some research, still not sure why I had to replace "busybox" with "/sbin/busybox" in the mount command, but that did work.

That's it!!!

I am NOT connected to my local network or USB to my computer. I go to the Googles and find some random file to download, download it with ES Downloader, and VOILA!!! it is in my chosen directory on my NAS at home. Works when I am remote and connected to my home via VPN.

Badda bing badda boom!

And you're all thinking it, I'm just confirming it... yes, I am somewhat of a noob and very proud of myself. So what???

I have Bootloader unlocked, FRP unlocked, TWRP installed. When i flash anything at all, the phone only makes it to the Huawei logo, it does not reach the setup screen. I have also tried flashing with Fastboot, still same scenario. I have googled for days and flashed many zips and imgs. Any insight on what i can be doing wrong will be helpful.

SDcard method aborts at 5%.

eRecovery download does not work.

I am not willing to try DCUnlocker because i will rather take it back to Huawei and pay them.

I could use your help, I also unlocked it but can't flash TWRP Erecovery doesn't work and can't use SD card to force update.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Galevski:
Well, I was replacing a broken lcd screen. (This was not my first screen replacment. Fixing phones for friends and family it's kind of a hobby of mine. )

I turned on the phone and it didn't boot. I got erecovery screen. Tapped to download and update. It found wifi, but it couldn't find necessary file on-line. So I started to google... And in the sea of useless advices I found something I could try. So I installed kirin on the device. Now download and update worked. The device went to reboot after the update and stuck on bootloop. It turnes on, show Huawei logo, and then vibrates shortly (like when you turn on the device). Then the screen goes black, after a while it shows logo, and then vibrates shortly, goes black and so on...

Now, I can still access erecovery and download and update, but it doesn't help. I can also access fastboot.

Also, I have to mention that I'm not that good with software as I am with hardware. And also english isn't my native language so be gentle about that...

So any ideas how to fix this?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Note 9 announced, so came Bixby along with it. This time it's version 2.0, out of the box. Samsung says it's now better at predicting user needs, processing natural languages and is quicker. You like it or you are going to remap it with a remapper or disable it forever? Or you want it to be dead already? Share your thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
I'm too heavily invested in the Google assistant ecosystem. I liked how DJ Koh talked about how fragmented systems are because companies want to control, but results in a poor user experience, but then of course there's no way to disable bixby easily....not very open if you ask me.

I'll still test it out of interest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Well, you can forget Bixby home, let only the "Bixby voice" to stay and to follow your commands, can disable both and 4get forever or can Remap with remapper. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pedodroid:
Bixby seems to faster and context aware now (like Google Assistant), based on what I saw in Flossy Carter's unboxing and hands-on video (@8:02).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Yup, I watched that video sometime back. It's indeed improved but personally I'm not at all a fan of it when Google assistant so damn good ;)

I think I'll give it another shot. Only reason I had stopped using was because I'm invested in Google Assistant. At least that's what I thought until just now when I realized, the only thing I use Google Assistant for is a 30 minute timer for my lunch clock punches.

Plus there's just something weird about saying "Hi Bixby," out loud.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:

Yes, by executing Android Debug Bridge commands as there are some nice remappers out there.

I currently use it only for system control. My daily driver is Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
I use Bixby all the time. Google Assistant is my reminder only use. Now that it remembers you are in a conversation and don't have to keep repeating the initial context I'll be using it even more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
I'm not seeing options to disable Bixby hardware button entirely in Note 9, unlike S9/S9+.

The settings and UI are different in Note 9 in comparison to S9/S9 plus,but no option of "do nothing" when you press the Bixby key in Bixby settings or Bixby voice settings.

**The unit I'm having is NOT a retail unit, it's a demo/review unit, with latest OTA flashed 2 days back with few enhancements and August security patch. The option to turn the Bixby hardware button into a totally "dead" button might show up in retail units.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SAO:
Nope no "switch off" bixby buttons... very annoying And BX actions isn't working "yet". I gave Bixby a try for a couple of hours... it's a no go for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
ButtonMapper doesn't work as well. But I would assume those apps might work in future once devs start working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Update:

Checked a retail unit and Bixby settings are not different from the demo/review unit I had been using.

So, using bixby/phone settings one cannot turn the button completely off, for now. This is ugly and a step backwards from S9/S9+ IMO.

I recently bought a pixel 2 XL for cheap on ebay, turns out it is FRP locked. I was looking for a bypass and they all seem to be patched. E.g. Talkback, maps, magnification. While digging I was able to get to the internet in a limited capacity. The google keyboard allows you to search for gifs and I was able open a tenor gif which had the a link to see more gifs which led me to a website. Ill link pictures. I was able to navigate from there to facebook and then to youtube and the rest of the internet by logging into facebook and messaging myself or posting links privately on my wall. What I could not do was launch other apps or download anything.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] computerslayer:
The problem with any discussion about bypassing Google's Factory Reset Protection - even if it were possible - is that it is impossible to determine if we're helping people legitimately access their phone or if we're helping them take over an ill-gotten phone. That's why conversations around this topic always stall out. We don't want to go around accusing people and we also don't want to even inadvertently be party to theft.

Factory Reset Protection is Annoying, Get Rid of it!!!

I purchased a Google Pixel 2 Certified Refurbished on Amazon and I have this issue as well. If anyone has a solution I suggest they post it...party to theft or not, **** happens and I hate when device vendors install crap like this claiming it's to prevent theft....it's to boost sales, period. Fortunately I can get a refund or replacement but its a bleeping waist of time having to mail in my phone and wait for another phone be sent to me.

IMO this factory reset protection hurts more legitimate users than it protects. It create brick/useless devices that is a waist of resources just so companies can make more $ . . . If you lose your phone, track it down, get insurance and/or consider it a loss. If I irreversibly lost my phone I would not harbor some BS attachment to it...Ideally I would like it returned but alternatively I'd prefer someone else make use of it than create more waist.
