So my dad got this new s7 edge for me. i used it for 1 day or so and realised that the android version is till on 6.0.1 . i tried to update the device manually but it says that its up-to-date, but im sure enough that its not. i also tried the smart switch method from Pc , but there is now update option in the smartswitch software as if the device is upto date.
I downloaded a root checker app to see if the device has been rooted or not , but the app shows that there are no signs for rooting. Can someone please help me with this, im tired of trying.

You should be able to download a 7.0 Nougat Firmware for your Exact Model and then flash it via Odin.

If I'm not wrong you have the S7 Edge from USA T-Mobile Carrier. This Link has the latest Android 7.0 Nougat Update (Build 12.04.2018) for the S7 Edge [USA T-Mobile].
Okay, once you downloaded the Firmware, you have to extract it. You should get an .tar or .tar.md5 file then.
Now you need to Download the Flashtool for Samsung Devices called "Odin"
Link: https://odin3.en.lo4d.com/download
This File contains the Latest Odin Tool Version 3.13.1
Send me Message again once both Downloads are finished and you extracted the Firmware so I can tell you the final steps to flash your Device

Good. One Question first: is the Firmware a single .tar File? If yes, then start Odin, select AP and select the Extracted Firmware File.
After that (Backup all your Important Data first before proceeding!) you have to put your Phone into the Download Mode, Power it off, wait a few Seconds, and then press and hold Volume Down Button and Home Button and after that press and hold the Power Button. If you get a Blue Screen displaying a Warning, everything is good and you can enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Up Button another Time. Then Connect it to your PC and wait for Odin to say "Added!" after that simply hit Start to Flash.

Oh understood , But there are 5 files. And i have a question or 2 to ask , if the usb connection gets interrupted will it do any bad to my phone ? And how much time.will it take to complete ?

Answer 1: If it gets interrupted while flash, it normally shouldn't do any damage. It would be then called a Soft-Brick and you would have to flash it again.
Answer 2: Depends on what File Size the Firmware has. But normally it shouldn't take more than 5-10 Minutes.
If I understood right, you have 5 Files.
Do they (kinda) look like this or have such letters in it?
- BL ...
- AP ...
- CP ...
- CSC ...
- USERDATA ...
If yes, then you just have to put the files to the correct Tab. Like BL ... to the BL tab and CSC to the CSC Tab.

thx
Please anyone answer,
I downloaded I9100XWKJ2_I9100XEFKJ1_XEF.zip from sammobile, can you tell me how can I use it with Odin ?
Do I use this file for PDA, PHONE or CSC ?
Also what's the pit file ? When downloading Odin from sammobile, I have a s1_odin_20100512.pit, is it the right one ?
Thanks in advance !
this is en example use ur own file. (Proceed at your own risk. We are not liable if anything happens to your device by using this method. )
Step by Step Instructions:
Download the Android Firmware
Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:
CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5
Download Odin software
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.
Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”
under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,
than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.
Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.
Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)
Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)
Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —
and you can unplug the cable then.
Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.

If you didn't use the pit file your phone may only be soft bricked. Read some more and you can fix it if you can get into download mode.

I'm guessing you went ahead and just tried flashing using that .pit file?
You should never use a firmware or kernel for a different device, but it is sometimes recoverable.
For future reference, NEVER EVER EVER use a .pit file for a different device...

Since you flashed using an S1 .pit file, your only hope now is JTag repair. Nothing else has any chance of bringing your device back to life.

Not sure why you're ignoring my posts. You can get it fixed (JTag) for like $50 US. (I don't know what that translates to in your local currency)

Is it showing as only 16GB capacity or 16GB free memory left? Sometimes rarely flashing custom rom can mess up partitions. Flashing stock will fix this.
Stock is the way to go then i guess, thanks. Yes partition seems messed up.

Hi sorry for reviving this thread. i am having the same issue as OP and wanted to ask. i have an s6 edge plus and i rooted it to make it easier for me and wanted to go back to stock rom. so my cousin brother flashed it for me and it ended up having 16gb storage like the OP.
I was wondering is that the same thing as flashing stock or thats another thing?
I used odin3 3.12 today to flash saudi arabia version and it still shows 16gb. If its not the same thing as flashing stock rom, how do i go about doing it?
Thank you very much

What you need to do is flash the correct pit file with the rom to repartition the device.
Whats the model of the device?
The firmware and region you want?
The android version?
Tell me these and ill link you to the correct files and info how to do it.

Is it a risky thing using a pit file? as in a chance of bricking the phone or its just a warning odin3 gives?

Its just a warning. Dont worry about it. As long as you only flash it with the PAK firmware it will be fine. Its a message that will always pop up when you click on pit.

Sorry for the late response, it took 7 hours to download PAK version from Sammobile.
I just tried re flashing with PAK version and including the pit provided. but it shows the same result. storage as 16gb.

Will put it to download and go to work and give you a headsup after trying within 4 hours (If the download has completed).

I just tried to flash my phone with the IRAN one where we had 4 files totally (this was the one we used when we went from rooted s6 edge plus to stock rom) but used only AP. This time i tried with all 4 and it says (Success 0/ Failure1).
So i just reflashed Saudi one i used before and now downloading Saudi (STC) from Sammobile. will let you know after i try it
Oh and i also wanted to ask. reflashing phone a number of time a day will pose any risk to it? or you can just do it any amount of time?

The one you tried to flash with 4 files you need to flash all files not just one. Thats why it failed.
I have seen this happen before and it should flash the partition back to 32GB after flashing stock with pit.
Before you flash the next one reply here so i can guide you.
And dont worry about the amount of times you flash it. It will do no harm no matter how many times you flssh it.

Hi, im currently at work and will be home within an hour.
This morning i used IRAN (4 file one) and used all 4 files on odin. Here is what i did in detail.
1. Opened Odin 3 v3.12
2. Uploaded BL (1st), AP (2nd), CP (3rd) and CSC (Last)
3. Under options - > only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time was ticked.
4. I hold volume down, menu button and power button at same time and pressed volume up button.
5. I connected the phone to Computer.
6. Odin3 recognized phone and i clicked start.
Within 2-3 seconds it said it has failed, and i used the SAUDI file to reflash back to normal (As i was late for work).
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
For the PAK file with the PIT you provided, i did everything almost the same other than it had only AP file and i had Re-partition ticked as well. It flashed fine but showed the same 16gb storage limit.
I will be home soon and post here beforehand if its easier for you and allowed in forum to use skypecall or such, that is indeed fine for me as well.
Thank you very much.

I will be home soon and post here beforehand if its easier for you and allowed in forum to use skypecall or such, that is indeed fine for me as well.
Thank you very much.

Okay.... what error did you get in odin when trying to flash the 4 files?
I have whatsapp and facebook messenger, pm me when you are free after work
Hi guys, this is the a full Odin tar files for offical Nougat. Person outside the US can Flash and use it.
Unzip this package and get five file, flash it by Odin.
PS: It is better to flash the pit files. Don't worry, your Network unlocked status will remain same after updates.

By the way, Nougat on S7Active is too slow，I found S7's package in waiting it LoL....

Will tgis work to update the g930a from the qa4 nougat ota from earlier this year? Or would i have to downgrade to marshmallow first?

backup and you can try. I don't have s7 and just get this package. In fact odin can flash as it can.

It's a full firmware package so yes. You won't keep any of your data though.
Thanks for uploading this @smxwang
It worked for me to upgrade my rooted MM to rooted Nougat, and I used Flashfire to do a backup and restore of data and internal SD and haven't had any issues except that I can't download themes.
I have tried several times to download. I have copied and pasted key and still says I need a key. Can you remove the lock or can someone mirror?
will this allow future OTA update when ATT release them?
it says 'model dismatch fail'
why?

Do you have the right files for your model G930A or G935A. Normally that's the issue. Also make sure your using the official Odin when flashing factory firmware.
yes, i have the right files for my G930A, It must be because I'm using OdinPrinceComsy version

That would be the problem. Always use official Odin for stock firmware. Only us princecomsy Odin when flashing eng kernel.
it worked. thank you!
under options which should i select if I want full factory wipe (Fresh install)? or does it do automatically
thanks for your help

Which Odin are you using? If you use the Prince Comsy Odin you will get that. I accidentally used that version and got that message.

Using Odin, it will wipe automatically. Just install all 4 files and it'll wipe you completely.
Dumb question here, We can flash each file independently. EX: If i wanted to flash just the ap file to replace the eng boot i could do that...
Downloaded file but when extracting I got error message files are corrupted. Any suggestions

I just downloaded the file and used it to flash a G930A successully. You should probably just re-download the file.
Thanks for the feedback but I got it to work. Idk but it wasn't extracting on my Mac so I tried on Windows and it worked. Am actually running it now on my phone and everything so far working as it should.
you mention the S7Active there,
does that mean you have the Nougat Odin files for that too ?
and where did you get these images from ? did you get them from their servers ? (somewhere like ? h t t p s://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48838/1488/ ??)
I have a Galaxy S7 standard. This afternoon, I got a notification that an automatic update could not be installed properly. The phone rebooted and it got stuck on the Samsung title forever. I managed to force-reboot it a couple time but it kept stalling on the Samsung title.
I tried to boot the safe mode, without success. I then managed to boot the recovery mode and tried what was suggested on android forums by users who had similar problems, and I flushed the memory cache from the recovery mode menu. This is where it got worse. I read many articles by users who managed to root their phones back to the original firmware throught Odin and saved their data doing so.
So I downloaded the firmware for my region and my service provider from sammobile and ran the installation though Odin 3.12.5. The installation almost went through and crashed at the Cache step (near 99% completion), with the error (Custom binary(SYSTEM) blocked by FRP Lock) written on my phone on top of the (An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software).
Now I cant get my phone to boot the recovery mode. I can't even shut it down. It will only reboot and go straight to the error page. Smart Switch PC won't recognize the phone so I can't recover it from there. Can anyone help me solve this? Given where I'm at, I wouldn't mind a way to reset it to factory default and lose my stuff.
Thanks in advance.

So , to help you I need information of your phone :
1. What is full model of your device ?
2. It is based on Qualcomm or Exynos CPU?
3. Does Odin still recognise your device ?

1. SM-G930W8
2. How do I find this information? Quick googling makes me believe it is Exynos because I bought it in Canada for the Telus network, but I can't confirm anything since I can't boot it.
3. Yes it does. I can retry the installation, but it fails at the same step over and over.
Okay , so download this file in order to disable FRP lock , use Odin click on "AP" so after that you can restore normaly back to Stock Firmware with Odin or Smart Switch .

Tried this. It processes the installation and fails near the end. This time it is Custom binary (userdata) blocked by FRP lock
added : I used only AP when trying this. No BL, CP or CSC.
So then is problem on your Firmware , go to sammobile and download latest Version of Firmware for your device and your Region .
So that error Custom Recovery is probably problem because you flash your device with old Firmware version 6.0 and that way cannot Flash your Firmware because Firmware Signature.

I do have the version from 2017-08-31 which says version 7.0 (see https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/TLS/)
There is a newer version dated 2017-11-30 but the sammobile website for some reason has a broken link, or restricts downloading if you're not a premium member, which I'm not. If you can provide me with an alternative link to download the latest one, I'll give it a go. But both seem to be version 7.0
Added : Nevermind the broken link, Sammobile site has issues and their forum helped me solve it. I'll try installing the newest firmware when it is downloaded

Well... basically it would cost me more to repair it than what it would be worth. Financially, my best option is to buy a new phone :crying:
This means, I can try new tricks to try to fix it. I'm open to hear any ideas you guys have. Is there a way to force shotdown the phone to get out of the ''Download update'' menu which I'm stuck in? And then, is there a way to reach the recovery mode to do a factory reset? Would that work?
Dude , why you give up ? Just keep trying
Try with this Firmware now :
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/TLS/download/G930W8VLU2BQH1/186396/

You have to be rooted for that and mostly rooted means no ota its not hard to do if you follow the instructions. I was trying countless hours and found the easiest way as described in this faq
Hey mate, since you are not from France, is OEM Unlock available after switching to XEF for you, assuming you are not whatsoever tied with France (SIM, physically there)?

It should be there for me it isn't because I flashed about 30 times or more and now I have to wait for it to come back. But it should work for you if you still see it on your 7 rom.
I was on DBT Germany and no French sim needed

Do the trick with XEF CSC and download Oreo update. Skip installation for later. Browse in internal memory and you should see update.zip. Copy that zip and share it. Everyone with BRB2 firmware, but not XEF CSC will be able to put that zip in internal memory and install it over stock recovery manually.
