[OTA Updates] S7 Active SM-G891A (MM & N firmware update files)

[xc rider]

Can't deactivate Samsung Keyboard as Default so I can use my SmartKeyboard Pro - first and ONLY problem I've found! I tried disabling Samsung Keyboard with Package Disabler Pro and then there's NO KEYBOARD - Aggghhhhhh! Sent in a Bug Report with Screen Shot - let's see what happens! Also Uninstalled and re-installed SmartKeyboard Pro but did not help!

Can't disable mine either but it doesn't pop up when using my swiftkey beta.

I couldn't get package disabler pro to register with the newest update.

Mine sat there and "spun" for quite a while but finally came up and worked fine!

It keeps saying failed and to try but always same results.

Whoa.. I flashed my S7 with odin to start the upgrading process and now after the boot ask for a password...
without any other reference, just "to start the device, insert the password" which one could be? I tried google, samsung account, sim pin... I had no password...
EDIT!
so silly of me, I didn't format... :cyclops:

OP updated added upgrade links to official Nougat U2BQB2
DM me any errors. Credits for @fegato notifying me on official release.

Took about hour using Odin & rest from a sdcard.
Let it boot each time. Then shutdown to use a sdcard. After all updates then entered info. Even Samsung restored all my screen & settings.

Is the hotspot working on QB2?

No! Actual battery improvement... also seeing that on S7 Active Forum on Android Central too! Did you do a "Wipe Cache Partition" after all your Apps were restored and "Setup" was done? A lot of junk gets built up during set up... mine slowed down in the first couple of hours so I did it and it improved tremendously. That could be a culprit for that also... ???

Battery is much improved

Great solution

Check this thread. It would appear that QB2 is the official release, so future OTA updates should be available.

If I need my hotspot even though I have an unlimited data plan that usually doesn't allow hotspot is it worth upgrading to QB2? AKA does the hotspot work without a subscription on QB2?

Right now I'm in PL4 (Nougat) but I want to update to latest new nougat (BQ2), what should I do?

I didn't see any link in first page to update from PL4 to BQ2.

as PL4 was never official, theres no file to go from PL4 to QB2
so you gonna have to Odon back to PI2, then sd card to PK2, then to QB2...

Am I the only one who has Google Assistant on QB2?

Everybody should have it by now, I've had it for days.
