I just received a 1,700 MB over-the-air Android 8.0 "Oreo" update for my AT&T Galaxy S7!
It's updating now. I'm very excited! I'll post more details later.
--Ron
Android version: 8.0.0
Samsung Experience Version: 9.0.0
Build number: R16NW.G930AUCU4CRE4
--Ron
Does that mean the latest leak is actually the released OTA?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/leaked-oreo-builds-t3780026
I checked on my ATT S7 flat but no Oreo OTA :crying:
I have it too
Downloading the OTA now. Finally!

Why do not I have it?
Try changing the time on your phone ahead 24 hours. The update button only checks the servers a maximum of once every 24 hours.

I am currently in Hanoi, Vietnam. What is the faster time zone in the US? And if I need to change to which time zone?
You may actually need to be connected to AT&T in the US to receive the OTA. I would try changing the date & time settings to manual vs network. Then, set the date for 2 days from now.
The build number is R16NW.G930AUCU4CRE4. I believe someone posted the same version on XDA.

I am tempted to go back to 930A firmware to try it, but with 930U my battery life is great and the phone feels alot smoother. Hope by the end of 2020 we get it for U.
I stay with the AT&T firmware for the Wifi calling. So far, Oreo runs very smooth on the phone, and battery life is not worse than before (maybe better once I stop playing with it so much)

Any chance that the Cricket G930AZ will get this? If not, couldn't the AT&T G930A firmware flash over to the AZ? Should be identical phones, as they run on the exact same network, and Cricket is owned by AT&T.
Anyone able to pull the firmware for Odin
Yep it is Out for S7 & S7 Edge. Got it also. https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...7-edge-now-receiving-android-8-0-oreo-update/
Any apps confirmed working to disable system apps like package disabler
Any way to force the ota, changing date Is not working
Been running the leak for a while now idk if i wanna grt it ota already did so much to it haha
For those who have the updates are you seeing the same bugs as we have seen before in leaks , also to devs ,many devices that have been updating to oreo through ota have been getting bootloaders unlocked, are we going to see the same symptoms as other phones as it was a bug in the pixel phone when it came out I believe
At&t S7 edge unlocked for straight talk plan. After update to 8.0 Oreo I can no longer give or recieve pictures in texts unless on wifi. Any clue as to why? My settings haven't changed in years. Thank you for your help.

You need to update your APN settings for Straight Talk and then set that as your default APN, I have to do this as well when running the AT&T firmware.
I pasted the correct APN settings for Straight Talk below. You can find APN settings in connections/ mobile networks/access point names
FIELD SETTINGS
APN: RESELLER
AUTH_TYPE: None
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS PORT: 80
MMS_APN_TYPE: default,mms,supl

I have not moved or changed locations or anything but after updating the newest samsung firmware (on friday) my phone is now 100% of the time roaming. I've checked the network settings and it says Tmobile in there as it should (i'm on Tmobile in america with the i9300).
Is there something i did wrong? I updated it with Kies, what can i do to downgrade back to the old firmware if i get tired of this roaming business?
try changing your modem

How did you be able to update your i9300 cause i am using i9300 and t-mobile as well. But no update for me at all.
I am located in NY btw so do you think I have to wait or not gonna get the update at all
Edit, Just updated mine via odin and working good

I am not sure, but its funny my friend has the BLUE i9300 bought 3 weeks after mine, and he was not getting a notification of the update via kies either, but it did give it to me and my phone the exact day it was out (uk firmware).
about changing the modem, will I need to root for that? i prefer to run stock for now..
that's bizarre but it probably has something to do with the phone being an internation model with a uk csc, but i've used my S1 from the uk several times in the u.s. with t-mobile and never had that problem .....can only assume it is a bug

Yea becuase when the phone arrived it worked great (even had a minor firmware upgrade the day i opened which was like june 15th ish or a few days later) and still worked great, no Roaming at all, then with last weeks update now it roams
It's worth pointing out that changing the modem will not work as a valid solution in this case. If one uses a non-LFB modem with the LFB ROM, the mic doesn't get used. One would have to also go to an older rom in addition to a different modem.
I'm having the same exact issue.
Need a solution.
Tried a factory reset. No dice.
Hi guys,
Didn`t find answer for my questions, so decided to link myself to similar topic.
Since the SW update I have done today my phone doesn`t lock to a network
When I go to settings to find a carrier manually, It takes about 2 minutes to find 4-5 networks available around, I am picking o2 UK (as I have a contract with them) and it says : Registering to o2 UK which takes about 4 minutes. After this it says : Emergency calls only and there is no status bars at all.
Master reset didn`t help.
What steps should I take ?
For you reference :
- Phone took from CPW in UK as sim free
- SIM Card used is from o2 UK (contract)
- I don`t want to flash anything, I would like to stay to stock ROM (if possible)
UPDATE : Chosen `Select Automaticly` allowed the phone to find signal, could make a call etc, but after 30 minutes lost signal again....

on AT&T / same firmware, no roaming issues.
Any fixes for this issue?

Any updates?
I did find out that the CSC that was applied by default was KOR. I went in and changed this to BTU using *#272*imei#, but still did not solve the issue.
Wondering if a repartition would help?

If u do not wish to root then your only option is to take it back to the store, so they can fix, u bought the best smart phone available on the market and u can't make phone calls or browse internet(without wifi).
To my understanding, still no resolution on this..
My friends phone after being updated (he just got his first update after having the phone a month) is now roaming as well.. So this is definately something either with our network (t-mobile) or the recent updates.
I've just started living with it, but it sucks becuase it does silly things like makes me click 'download image' when someone sends me a picture message in text...
with the few bugs could be ironed out of this phone kinda frustrating.
I do have similar problems since I installed an update 2 weeks ago. at home the phone says it is roaming at work approx 6 miles away and with a different station I am connecting to it is fine.

Thats interesting, no matter where I go i get roaming. Though a few times I have gotten the 'roaming' warning popped up, so maybe i went out of roaming and didnt know it? I'll keep a closer eye on it.
It is very frustrating and annoying. I've called T-Mobile and they said they would open a case with Samsung. If you guys could call too, we might get a fix.
I really suspect it is something in the CSC. Maybe if we could get the T Mobile SIII CSC and apply it?

My suspicion is wrong. I pulled the TMB CSC from a T999 ROM and manually copied it to /system/csc/TMB, then used the CSC Selector App to change to TMB.
No dice. Still in Roaming.
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 and then changed APN settings for it to work on T-mobile. Everything works fine except the MMS, but that's not an issue at hands( i can always use whatsapp or similar apps). The question is will i be able to get OTA for the Lollipop once it comes out for GS4 (rumors say it should be out really soon). Please let me know what I should do to be able to get the Lollipop. Please assume I know nothing about these processes (which is true, i just can follow precise directions) and if possible provide step-by-step instructions.
Thanks.

Why did you change your APN settings to T-Mobile??? That doesn't make any sense! You will probably get lollipop a year from now if at all! Don't expect lollipop on your Verizon phone any time soon...

No, not officially from Google! Your phone is still a Verizon phone, and you'll get the update when Verizon decides to push it out. But how does that phone work on T-Mobile at all?! It shouldn't be working at all with T-Mobile Sim...

I have done some research and came across people who said the phone should not work, people who said that some additional modules need to be installed in order for it to work, and other people who said all i have to do is change APN. I chose the third option as it required the least effort and was easily reversible ( i think). After changing the APN settings this Sunday ( 3 days ago), the phone makes call on Tmobile network, has 4G LTE and lower speed internet, sends/accept SMS (not MMS).

that is exactly what i have and MMS is not working. I'm not really concerned about the MMS, just trying to figure out how to get lollipop.

To get Lollipop when it comes out for our Phone. Whenever it does, just use your computer and flash the lollipop TAR using ODIN. Or you could just download the OTA.zip and sideboard it from the stock recovery. Just come back to this site after Lollipop comes out and there will be a guide.
Edit: wait... if all you changed was APNs then you can still take the update through settings.

To let you know, a while back someone posted a guide in the general on how to enable TMobile AWS on our phone.
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum if I have done so! I couldn't find any section for this phone or its variants.
I was hoping to get my phone merged to Straight Talk via CDMA as this phone does not support GSM nor does it have a SIM slot.
Model: SCH-R530X
Model name: GALAXY S III
Country: United States
Version: Android 4.4 [Paranoid Android 4.6 BETA 5 for D2LTE]
Mobile Network Type: CDMA EvDo rev A.
Baseband/Modem: R530XWWUBMK4
Firmware: JSS15J.R530XWWUBMK4
Kernel: [email protected] #1 [Tue Oct 21 21:50:49 EDT 2014]
I have the stock firmware backed up on my system. My APN under Mobile Network > Access Point Names is blank, adding does nothing. Tried resetting, yet my /system/etc/apns-conf.xml contains all the default apns from the stock R530X firmware.
Anyone know how set this phone up for Straight Talk [I have an existing plan]

http://www.straighttalk.com/wps/portal/home/h/byop/registration click on the link < first check if youre phone is compatible you will be using this program by straight talk in order to activate it on straight talk .
I've gone through the whole process using both Stock and Paranoid Android ROMS. I've ensured I have the latest baseband, yet I am unable to get the Straight Talk BYOP CDMA to accept my phone. It just refreshes saying there was an error. And ideas? Do I have to add their APN first? Should I have my phone off of Airplane mode when doing it? Should it be set to Evdo or CDMA or WCDMA or GSM/CDMA?
Just a Friendly bump.
I've gotten connection to 1xRTT via CDMA network selection, and EvDo.Rev A using EvDO Only. CDMA was more reliable for the Verizon towers locally, whereas EvDO Would disconnect from service every 15-20 seconds. I still haven't been able to hook this up via Straight Talk. Anyone else able to give some feedback?

I've tried checking my d2xar for compatibility with straight talk. Mine wasnt supported. since these phones are verizon based you might look into pageplus. the plans are pretty crappy but you might get them to add it to the network.

I thought I'd share this deal I found on eBay, I bought one a few weeks ago but unfortunately I don't get it for another month, since I live in mexico and a family member has to bring it to me, but I think for $260 its an awesome deal
Here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/191516989450
Also i wouldn't hesitate to long, they had this deal a few weeks ago when I got mine and it only lasted a few days.
Edit: it's at $250!
Thanks for sharing, please let us know when you get the device.

Works great on t-mobile. 20 megs down!
Only problem I am having is that I have been unable to update to lollipop.
This is most likely due to the fact that I have a t-mobile sim in there instead of an AT&T one

I order one just now. Its now at $250. I will be using it on T-mobile. My main is the Note 4.
just made a thread with a questiong about this i hope they delte it now but i am ordering one of these now and was wondering about the tmobile situaton as well.. Will i get the update to lolipop with a tmobile sim? also will i still have fast lte speeds? im getting like 50 down in lansing and detroit area . The reaso i ask is becasue i found this post on amazon in the coments
CONS for T-Mobile users! And these are Deal Breakers for me.
* 4G LTE is ultra SLOW! While the symbol shows 4G LTE, the speed is just good 3G speeds. My max was 5 to 6 Mbps down and about the same up. Compared to my S2 and S3 on the exact same spot on my desk, get 15-20 Mbps on the S2 and 25-30+ Mbps on my S3!
* Hotspot feature will NOT work on T-Mobile. This has been confirmed by me calling AT&T, T-Mobile, and Samsung support lines. If you need your T-Mobile hotspot service, then this phone is a no go. (NOTE: the XDA forum and other sites have a hack that requires you to root the phone and then do multiple steps each time you want to enable the hotspot, this is a deal breaker for me

I was just looking around XDA, it says you will NOT get the update with a T-Mobile sim card,because it has to connect to its servers, and it won't allow a T-Mobile phone to connect, maybe you can update with Samsung kies, I'm going to have my brother update mine before I get it.

i found a friend on att but his sim card is micro not nano so i wonder if att will let him activate a new nano sim just for 1 day so i can use it and get the update, worst come to wrost i guess i will need to get a prepaid service on att to get the sim
I Need help.
I put my T-mobile nano sim in. The phone call work. At first my data (saw 4G LTE) work. Now it doesnt work anymore. I try to access webpage and it say no data service. I have it on data roaming and it say T-mobile. What other settings to modify and verify?
Thanks!
Edit - Got it working after following a APN setting from my real Tmo phone and just type everything in this phone and now I get data. I am getting 4G LTE icon.
How does everyone feel about att getting left out of the galaxy beta program? I already feel our root method is basically crippled and with the bootloader locked I'm considering a pixel as my next phone, but curious about the s8. Thoughts and opinions? I for one was excited to see Samsung s beta program right up until the blocked att...
I want to get the new pixel phone because of the locked bootloader but do not know about how to go about it as I am still paying for this phone monthly. I'm just hoping that this bootloader gets unlocked for nougat, I don't even need custom roms all I want is root with normal battery life.
I was excited about the beta program as well when I first read about it, but then AT&T had to ruin it for us. I just hope that does not mean that we'll have to wait longer than everyone else to get it when the final build is ready.

There are instructions online on how to sideboard the beta but I have not tried it. It will load the F variant. Not sure how that will play out.

where can I find them?
Idk if that works. Someone was asking about how to flash back since that soft bricked their phone.
Att always denies users the good stuff and takes forever with updates because they have to load them up with bloat crap.

I'm gonna let someone else try then...
The 930F has a different processor, probably why
If I get the beta I will upload the ota zip. There shouldn't be any reason you guys couldn't use it. I'm on tmobile.

Verizon s7 flat ota.zip thread. Be careful
So it looks like a few people have done the verizon OTA to nougut, does anyone have any pro's or con's to using verizon vs tmobile with a 930a and att service? Also can anyone provide a step by step on changing the apn, I am concerned about what will and will not work since the fw is not designed for this carrier.
I am assuming that Volte and Wifi/Video Calling will NOT work, but obviously would be willing to be proven wrong.
Ive recently abandoned root and just applied a pixel launcher to the Nov. 1st update from ATT. If my phone wasnt company provided I would just get a Pixel already....
Thoughts?

I flashed the nougat update from Verizon on my AT&T S7 so far everything looks okay I got internet to work just by updating the APN texting works calling MMS sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Only thing I noticed is that lost band 17 which normally I have here where I live and now it's connected to band 4 so I'm between H+ and LTE
