No Android 7.0.1 Beta?!

[RileyIssKing]

Does anybody know why the AT&T and unlocked versions don't get the US Android N beta?! I REALLY WANT IT and the only workaround is flashing the T-mobile firmware but I have some reasons not to. Someone please touch on the situation is feel so cheated!

I agree! If they only went with unlocked versions and one carrier it would make more sense, but this just seems odd that two CDMA variants get it yet only one GSM variant does.

I can't tell you why AT&T didn't get it, but I can also tell you that the work around no long is a work around. I flashed the 935T ROM and tried to get on the Beta program..... Denied...... Got a message back saying they got all of the "slots" filled. No more are being accepted

I managed to get tmobile firmware installed day of, and I got a slot. I'll try and extract the Ota if I get it, but in the meantime sprint already has an update extracted from a system.

How did you install T-mobile firmware?

With the prince comsey odin. I managed to get a spot and I'm currently waiting for the Ota. Seems to be one day after samsung announced so the 15th I should get it.

I really can't understand why Samsung shows no love to the US Unlocked S7 Edge. It's things like this that make me want to just stick to an iPhone. No reason why a factory unlocked phone shouldn't be on the latest software. We are still in Septembers security update and get shafted on the beta program. I bet 7.0 comes out way later on this phone as well.

I took the plunge over to the verizon firmware, at least until the t-mobile guys have gotten their update.zip from a device. currently moving their nougat update to my phone then ill check it out.

So their is a way to get Nogut on this?

 

[tjthecat]

yes, and i have it. i went over to the verizon firmware, didnt root, downloaded their update, made an FOTA folder on my external sd card, moved the update there, went into recovery and used the "update from SD" option to "flash" the update and im on nougat. its kinda laggy but its amazing, thanks to the great people over at the verizon thread for making this possible.

Everything is working great except the Facebook app. Just switched over to swipe pro. Uploaded a video of this in my Android group. Honestly reminds me of good lock paired with xposed and "n-ify"

Can you give a step by step for this. 1. Odin to which Verizon firmware. 2. Download Ota from the thread in the Verizon forum. 3. Create fota folder in external. 4.boot recovery. 5 update from SD card.???

 

[muppetmaster916]

Confirmed, up and ruining beta on AT&T galaxy s7 edge, all is working. Odin to latest Verizon firmware, download the ota that was pulled over in Verizon forum. Create "fota" folder on external. Reboot recovery and apply update from as card. Very impressed already.

Yes, just Odin to vzw firmware then update the way the Verizon users are doing it. I've been running it all morning on my AT&T s7 edge. Only issue is no facebook app. Doesn't work at all.

There is a thread in the Verizon forum, the link to the OTA is in the op. You need to put the update zip on your external sd card in a folder named "fota" which you create. Once you're on the Verizon firmware via Odin, you reboot to stock recovery and apply update from sd card. Just go follow the thread instructions, the only difference being that you need to Odin to the Verizon firmware first so that the nougat beta update will apply.

So the SD card update zip is nougat right

Do you know a change log of the issues reported? And thanks for all the information!

Correct.

1. Odin to vze firmware (there's a thread over there)

2. Download nougat beta ota (there's a thread over there)

3. Create folder on external sd named fota

4. Place update.zip (nougat beta) in folder.

5. Turn off oem unlock in settings.

6. Turn on usb debugging in settings.

7. Reboot stock recovery

8. Select apply update from sd card and find it in the fota folder you created.

Note: mine took well over 5 minutes. I thought it froze at one point. Just wait.
