Yes you need to flash first G891AUCU4CRH1-to-S4CRJ1 and than G891AUCS4CRJ1-to-S4CRK1

Here are the steps:

1.) Turn off the phone. Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see a little Android guy. It will say Applying System Update or something like that possibly, and just let it do it's thing until a menu comes up.

2.) Select "Apply update from ADB". You can scroll using the volume buttons and select using the power button.

3.) Make sure you have ADB and the proper drivers installed on your PC:

http://dl.adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip

4.)Put the firmware in the ADB folder. You can rename it to anything easy to remember like "FIRMWARE".

5.) In the ADB folder, hold SHIFT + right mouse click and choose "Open command window here". Then type the command "adb sideload FIRMWARE" (where FIRMWARE is how you named your file).

6.) Wait patiently.

7.) The phone will reboot and will hang at AT&T logo. This can take another 10 minutes, just wait until it's done
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] dedicha:
Do I have to extract the zip, or it must stay archived?

I tried it without unzipping and cmd says cannot read FIRMWARE

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] stek-kravari:
You don't need to extract it, the error part cannot read FIRMWARE is beacause you didn't rename your archive to FIRMWARE, and you don't need to, that is just example in the process.

adb sideload G891AUCU4CRH1-to-S4CRJ1.zip and after the phone updates and restart sideload the newest

adb sideload G891AUCS4CRJ1-to-S4CRK1.zip
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] dedicha:
In fact I renamed it just as you said, the zip was in the same folder as adb, maybe I have to try on another pc later, the problem was that when I installed adb it said adb already installed on this pc, so maybe there was an older adb installaion on my laptop and something went wrong.

Will try later on another pc.

Is it possible to flash it through recovery from sd card without using ADB?

Been a while since I messed with my phone, last time I was looking at doing this there were warnings of not being able to return to nougat if using newer BL's, is this still an issue or are we all clear now?

Also, i'm 99% sure I have had this phone rooted at some point for a while last year for a while before I had to factory reset. OP you sure about the bootloader comment you made? I could def be wrong, but I think it was this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] stek-kravari:
If you flash bootloader with updated binary, you cannot install older bootloader. About the rooting part im not 100% sure, there are no active developers for this phone, mostly because the bootloader is locked, and thats why there are no root posts, its hard to find root exploit, if you can remember how you achieved root status please share it with us

Hi guys!

I have a doubt... I'm in the baseband version G981AUCU2CRC7, so, can I install the G891AUCU4CRH1 baseband and then upgrade it until the G891AUCS4CRK4 baseband? Yes, I know that it says that I can install it from any baseband version but I just want to avoid any unnecessary risk.

Thank you! ?

I haven't flashed anything in a while, so can I update from Marshmallow using this or do I first need to be on Nougat ? do I need to choose just one file for my phone ? I have the AT&T version SM-G891A on 6.0.1, G891AUCU2APK2 Baseband ? also, is Oreo doing good with speed of the device and battery or is it worse than Marshmallow ? So right now, I'm torn between Updating to Nougat and Rooting, or updating to Oreo without root, I don't really care much for rooting, my biggest concern is speed and battery life, I'm on stock Marshmallow and everything is ok and I get 15h 18m (9h 13m Active) , I wanna update, what do you recommend ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] hudtwalcker:
Damn I feel like such a noob, I've updated to Nougat before and rooted my device and gone back to Marshmallow but now I can't remember for the life of me how to do THIS, I wanna update to the latest Oreo, is there a tutorial on how to do this ? I'm not understanding which file I need to download or how to do it, please help :) I'm on Marshmallow 6.0.1 and I just restored it to factory.

Debloat G891AUCS5CSB1

Hi everybody,

Because ROOT is not available on v5 bootloader for our beloved G891A, I worked in order to find a way to remove bloat apps on my phone.

I recently find a very instructive tuto explaining how to remove apps without root (thanks to Doug Lynch) : I can't post the link of the tutorial, if a modo can add it.

I manage to test it and It works like a charm. After listing all the apps of the G891AUCS5CSB1 firmware, I took a day to remove all the uneeded apps. The result is a clean and fast phone !

I tried to made some categories, fell free to improve it, just copy and paste in a text file, and rename it into *.bat file. Be carefull to remove what you want to keep on your phone before launching the script because you can't reinstall it. If you keep Samsung Health launch it one time before removing Knox.

Be sure to backup before !!

Enjoy !

Hi !

Just read the Dough lynch tuto (look : "how to Uninstall Carrier/OEM Bloatware Without Root Access" on google) everything is explained.

To resume it the *.bat file must be run from your computer, your phone must have USB debugging activated and you must allowed the adb connection on your phone. The rest is automated.

Tell me

Good Morning,

I was able to upgrade to 8.0, thanks to stek-kravari. Again it took me awhile because I lost much of my memory because of a Traumatic Brain Injury.

Has anyone tried user Tiri500's debloating .bat file? Also, what would be a simple ABD command to remove just one of the apps listed in the .bat file just to try it out? For example, what would be the step by step ABD command to remove one of the fonts, adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.monotype.android.font.foundation.

Hello s7a community,

after a long odyssey with the last possible root-solution, I gave it up and now I flashed on Oreo at G891AUCS4CRK4.

The phone runs faster and much more stable than ever before.

But.. is my fear that after the update my phone is empty again??

CSG2 Success

Wanted to share that I had a trouble free upgrade from CSB1 To CSG2 with this download. Thanks to Stek. Also wanted to share that CSG2 included an app called mobile services manager, apparently frequently bundled with carrier based phones. This app seems to download and install software from carrier approved sources without user notification. It used lots of battery and bandwidth until I found it and disabled it. All the apps it installed in the background were uninstallable, but I suggest disabling it - if you wish - immediately on phone reboot after update. For some reason I had no issues like this with Stek's CSB1 package. My regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] ColdCanuck:
Thank you

Thanks for this post and all the work to find the packages to remove. I ended up with Doug Lynch's tutorial in one tab, your bat file in another, and a command prompt in the adb folder. I just copied & pasted the appropriate parts of the lines from your bat file into the command prompt to delete the items I wanted individually. Worked perfectly.
