SM-T817A | AT&T Variant | Update | Stock Firmware Nougat 7.0 | May 1, 2017 Patch

[gantagavin]

So, here i am, a junior member of XDA that try to makes his first article (and which means he can't make this article in the android development section since still a junior one)

I just bought this tablet a week ago and i found out that the android it came with was so old (Lollipop 5.1.1), so i'm searching through any android forums that i know in order to update this tablet to its latest firmware (Nougat 7.0), but i can't find one, even after i'm searching it in XDA, which in my opinion is the most comprehensive and reliable website to look for anything regarding to Android. Not only that, i also saw in some threads that there are people like me who got this tablet but they still stuck with the old stock firmware.

So, without any further ado, let's do it!

SO FAR, I CAN ONLY CONFIRM THAT THIS CAN (ONLY) WORKS WITH T817A VARIANT

First of all, make sure to BACKUP ALL OF YOUR DATA because the method of the update WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF THINGS THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE
PROCEED BY YOUR OWN RISK

First, let's download Odin software
https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.13.1.zip

Second, download the AP, CP, CSC, and BL firmware of the T817A which available on this website.
https://combinefile.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=9448

Third, extract all of those in one folder

Fourth, open the Odin

Fifth, put your T817A in Odin download mode (here's how to do it, turn off your tab, then push the home, power, and volume down button in the same time)

Sixth, connect your tab with your computer (make sure you are using CAPABLE AND RELIABLE MicroUSB) and make sure it got detected in Odin software

Seventh, click the AP button in the Odin software and choose the extracted AP firmware (same goes with the CP, CSC, and BL)

Eighth, click start and now your tab is downloading the software (DON'T UNPLUG THE CABLE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE BOOTLOOP)

Ninth, now the tablet will restart and voila, congratulations! You just updated to Nougat 7.0!

IF ANYONE HAS ADVICE OR ISSUE REGARDING THIS ARTICLE, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO TELL ME :laugh:

I know this thread is old, but I'm looking for a stock Nougat 7.0 for galaxy tab s2 SM-T817A. I've looked through the tab S2 forums and couldn't find anything except for this post, only problem is one of the file downloads is broke. The AP file only gets to 1gb and fails, it's a 1.5gb file. I've searched the internet for days and can't find anything for T817A. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Hey mate, sorry for the really late reply, i have been inactive at XDA lately, i have tried the link and it still works, my suggestion is please check your internet connection and storage, and then try it again. If it still doesn't work, i will happily upload the AP file in Google Drive for you!
