Official VZW S7/S7 Edge Nougat released

[iBolski]

It appears the official Nougat update for the VZW S7/S7 Edge has been spotted out in the open.

I'm going to wait and see how it goes before accepting it. So far, checking for an update, I am still told that my MM phone is up-to-date, so it hasn't been pushed out to my IMEI range yet apparently.

Here's a couple more articles about it being released starting today, and probably to the beta testers first:

Not available for mine yet either. I am curious, are you running the Nougat Beta? I am, FYI.

He said his Marshmallow phone is up to date, so he's not on the beta.

I wonder if this only works for people on the official Nougat beta and not just the users that updated via update.zip. I was the official Nougat beta tester that uploaded the update zips for you guys. I'm currently on the U-firmware, but I could flash back to Verizon and check if enough people are interested. Then I could pull the Official update.zip again, and upload that as well.

YES! That would be great, thank you. My concern is that we will be passed up on the official update because we took this Beta. Thanks!!

Their official update page shows the update as the most current release, and with today's date.

i dont see any confirmation anywhere that it was released, only that they updated the update page on the website. but at least is shows release is imminent.

No, I'm not. I don't do anything with my phone if it isn't official and I wasn't part of the beta program. I would assume even beta users should get an update, although it might be a tad bit different than those of us still on official Marshmallow. That or you might have to flash back to the official Marshmallow before you can get the update. I have seen that happen on other phones where I was a beta tester, so I'm not sure how it will work with the S7s.

From what I recall hearing, the official beta testers will be updated to the official Nougat first. The issue is that most of the people using the beta are not official beta testers. They updated using my zips. I'll flash to Verizon at some point today and see if there is a newer release.

I updated using your zips and I am currently pulling down an OTA after checking for system updates.

I have a SM-G930U flashed to the SM-G930V and am getting the Verizon Nougat update right now.

I updated to beta using the zip as well. Just got my OTA for official!

I am on the PKC update from these forums and get the notification of the update. Keep getting a download unsuccessful error. Not sure if it is because I am not on WiFi

I'm also on PKC, but I flashed it myself. I've tried both data and wifi; keeps saying Download Unsuccessful, error code: 400. Also unsuccessful after restarting and powering off.

EDIT: Wiping cache from Recovery solved my problem. Downloading now.

I got the beta here and am installing official nougat now. I have done a factory reset since flashing the beta. Perhaps doing a factory reset (but still remaining on beta) would clear you for the OTA? (Of course, back everything up before doing so.) I could also be totally wrong on resetting to get the OTA. Just a theory.

Updated to Nougat and so far, pretty darned good. No glaring issues. Only issue I have is in The Walking Dead: No Man's Land where all my player's portraits are dark as if no lighting was used. It wasn't this way under MM. I have noticed people with screen shots from the game with the same issue, so it might be an issue with the game itself.

UPDATE: The reason was the app cache. I just had to go to the TWD:NML app data and clear out the cache and all was good!

I have a 930U as well that I flashed to 930V. Does your Video Calling work? I activated Advanced Calling and HD Voice works but Video Calling does not. The option in my settings has the "HD Voice and Video Calling" option shaded out so I can't select it. I can only select "HD Voice only" so that's all that works. Do I need to call Verizon to try and fix this or is it a limitation from getting a 930U?

Could anyone confirm if you can enlarge others profile picture on LINE? I tried on the beta before and couldn't do it. Thanks in advance.

 

[tejas999]

Can someone upload the OTA update to a mirror?

Is there anyway I can temporarily go back to Marshmallow on an unrooted stock Verizon GS7 edge? I did not anticipate that my encrypted SD Card would be mostly unreadable when updated to Nougat.

After choosing "Decrypt SD Card" in options, it runs a "Checking SD Card" loading screen. I left this for about 4 hours while I was busy, but it did not appear to make any progress when I returned. I will try again overnight.

However, after this I can use Solid Explorer to navigate to the SD Card, and see all my files, but cannot open them.

Thanks for any help even if that means telling me those files are unencryptable and I should just bite the bullet and reformat.

I got tired of hitting check for update and getting nothing. I used a VPN inside the usa on wifi and got the ota immediately.
