Once again, here's the latest firmware to Bootloader 4 for the AT&T S7. Bit the bullet and paid $16 again for this download as well.
Big thanks for TLopez1973 and MgarBm for the support!

Your contributions to the community are profound, thank you very much sir! I very recently used your U firmware to unroot my phone. Since I had the Sept bootloader, I take it this should flash fine and I will get my at&t functionality back?

Yes sir. I'm running now, back to a fully AT&T Stock S7
TTT. Everything's uploaded and ready
Where did you get this firmware from? I'm 100% desperate for the Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T variant Odin files for this same firmware.

Thanks for uploading these Joe. Hope the donation helps.
Am I understanding you went to the U FW an are now back on the A FW on your 930A?
Any issues I need to look out for now that I installed U on my 930A?
I just tried to install this firmware using Odin in root thread. But I get "Model dismatch fail" error. Any idea why?
I have AT&T SM-G930A with official PF2 firmware.
For some reason, OTA update and Smart Switch shows PF2 is up to date firmware.
For some reason, odin gets stuck on a files step?
Sorry been busy at work...
Yes, I was on T firmware, then U, then back on A now.
I never had any issue using the modded Odin. Rename the files to remove .md5 so it ends in .tar

I'm wondering this as well, since my phone no longer has an active Verizon SIM in it. Was hoping the update would show up in Kies so I could update that way, but it's still showing 4.3 as the latest. I haven't seen anyone post a dump yet that could be flashed with Odin. I assume this will be the "normal" way to do the upgrade aside from OTA?
Me too.....
We need to wait for sammobile.com to upload the firemware (i605VRUFND7). You can register to this website and download the firmware.
You can use ODIN to flash it.
But sammobile.com not yet uploaded the firmware....waiting

No.....because you will also need to odin stock pk1 onto your at&t phone in download mode before anything will change. After that, whatever features stock pk1 firmware has along with your phone contract is what you will have on your phone. So in the end, probably.
MMB29M. G930AUCS4APK1 is the Latest version we have gotten from AT&T OTA dated Nov. 1 and released Nov. 18, 2016

Hi guys, this is the a full Odin tar files for offical Nougat. Person outside the US can Flash and use it.

Guys, I have a US device (t820) and just tried to install a European firmware. Whatever I do it won't allow me. I get an error unsupported dev_type (installing all the components of the firmware, BL, CSC, AP). Actually, downloaded the US firmware from the xda forum and that cannot be installed as well. hmmm

Did you just install the UK version through odin without bootloader and can? I am getting error all the time. Not sure if I need to do something in addition (oem unlocked).

Thank you. I will give it a try today. OEM Unlock is enabled. One more question, which of the two CSC files should I use, there is which has HOME as part of the file name. Thanks in advance.
I'm wondering if someone here can assist me. I picked up the 128GB version of the Tab S3 at my local Best Buy. I flashed TWRP and Magisk and didn't have any. Then I decided to try out the Flash v1.1 Kernel. Well after I flashed that kernel the Google app kept crashing on me so I decided to start from scratch. The only problem was I couldn't find the XAR firmware for my 128GB S3. I tried the UK firmware listed above and that almost works except that it limits my storage to 32GB instead of 128GB. Has anyone out there found any XAR firmware that can be downloaded? Any idea how to fix the storage issue?
Edit: After poking around I found the correct firmware at the link below.
