Use at your own risk. Ive successfully updated my device from PH1 to PK2
*Don't worry "Network" unlocked/ unlocked status remain same after updates.

UPDATE: Full Nougat update via ODIN
After waiting for a root, I have finally given up and updated my S7 Active to Nougat via ODIN. I have a network unlocked S7 active, the update when smoothly and fixed the lags and didn't change network status. The internal storage was fully wiped.

Here is the thread for the ODIN package:

so if you go from pi2 to pl4 after your phone was rooted on pl1 for me at least it still detects my phone as a rooted phone for some reason and I can't use either samsung pay or android pay. How do I become available to be able to use samsung pay and android pay on the pl4 rom?

Not bootloader. Network lock/unlock. The whole problem with these ATT devices are the lack of support to unlock bootloaders, thus we can't install custom recovery, and lack of development.

That's cause with the files in this thread your supposed to use the stock recovery to flash them via the option that says flash update from sd card.


As far as samsung pay goes you actually can use it you just have to manually download the 2.5.11 samsung pay apk file and sideload it.

However android pay doesn't work at all cause for some reason it still thinks the phone is either rooted, has an unlocked bootloader, or running a custom rom.

So would you just place the zip file in the root directory of the SD Card then use that "flash from SD Card" option from the same screen where you do a "wipe cache partition"?

If I updated to pl4 while I was on stock 6.0.1 from stock recovery, will I lose unlock status of my phone?

Is there any guide to update the phone to latest firmware to avoid any problems? Benefits for update and drawbacks?

Sweet... took about an hour and a half to load and then restore my apps, etc from 6.0.1 but it's up and running as smooth as can be, no glitches, no errors, no problems! Thank you "dogmatism" for the files and procedural information and "raze5115" for answering my questions! My Samsung Galaxy 7 Active is Nougatized! :)

*Edit - 01/27/17 - Re-installed Samsung Pay last night and reconfigured my credit card - works fine with 7.0 just as "raze5115" stated!

PL1 -> PL4 worked for me. I did via recovery and load from SD card. Clear cache. Ended up having to set the phone up as new but I was going to do a factory reset if it worked regardless. So far Nougat has been just fine; haven't had a chance to stress test it tho.

Thanks a ton for posting these!
