Folllow steps on this post to revert S7 Active to stock MM. Or if you just want to unroot/remove mods and have a clean device again.

And in case you want to update firmware to Stock Nougat PL4 (yet unreleased), check out the thread for this post. Steps are related to post above ^. Using it on my device with no issues. Better UI and performance imo. But, no root for this yet.

Oh I forgot to mention last week, a new build is available online, QA7. The download link will be https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48838/1488/SS-G891AUCS2APL1-to-U2BQA7-UP. I suppose it just fixes some bugs and will have the January security patch.

Getting an "Error 403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access the file on this server" for that link?

Nope! Just tried it and got the same darned error... I am in the US and on AT&T?

Just like the other updates, they have to be downloaded using an user-agent, as AT&T blocked us from downloading it through a browser. I will upload it to Google Drive tonight.

The update is Nougat, it is just a newer revision. Some bug fixes and optimization I think.

Looking forward to the update whenever you have time to upload Jimmyvb98, thanks!

THANKS, what you mean by "have to be downloaded using an user-agent" is something we can do?

It is, please take a look at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70672250&postcount=40. After you installed and set up this extension, you will be able to download the file.

Agreed. I successfully downloaded it as well but looks Like I need to be on PL1 instead of PL4 I'm currently on. Not sure I want to do that, would be nice if there is a way to just install the update over PL4.

Damned! Ditto on "Not sure I want to do that, would be nice if there is a way to just install the update over PL4." I think I'm staying with PL4 too - too much work to go backwards to go forward!

Thank you to "Jimmyvb98" for the attempt though!

There isn't, as this are unreleased builds. But going back to PL1 isn't really a bother in my opinion, your phone will factory reset anyway.
