THIS THREAD WILL NOT BE UPDATED,
Thanks to @jkruse for finding the original install method
I assume no responsibility for any bricked, or damaged devices. WARNING.. ONCE ON BOOTLOADER 4 YOU CANNOT ROLL BACK!
DO NOT ROOT OR USE ENGBOOT
Be sure that OEM Unlock is off
Before I start, you can flash whichever modem(cp) you want AFTER using both updates.
First, download one of the carriers firmware
Verizon PH1
2: Flash the firmware with the prince cosmy odin with SHA256 bypass
3: download the Verizon update
4: On your external SD card, Create a folder called FOTA and move the update over to that file.
5: Using Power, Home, And volume up, boot into recovery
6: Choose apply update from SD card
7: find update.zip in the FOTA folder you created on EXT storage
8: Click yes to apply
EDIT:9: After flashing ota1, use the same method for the second OTA
After it finishes updating, you should be on android 7.0 Nougat. hopefully you will be able to download new OTA updates in the future.
I personally recommend not setting anything up except for a file manager until you update as a factory reset always helps after an update.
You do not want to be rooted. You must be stock for this to work!
There is no gear VR available on the beta.
Troubleshooting:
"E: footer is wrong" followed by "E: signature verification failed" : Decrypt your SD Card and try again.
Thanks to the people over at the Verizon, forum for their firmware, update, and method.

UPDATE: I was not maintaining this thread since around November as I've been busy; I will be more active on here as we proceed with the official AT&T nougat update for the s7 edge series of phones. I'd like to thank everybody that maintained this thread while I was away, and I hope that I can help this amazing community more as we go along with this device.
Will it work with AT&T? Confused.

Hi, I have my s7 edge at&t, with the firmware posted from G935AUCS4API2 (BL4), I can put this beta on my edge?, or from which firmware do I have to do it?

You have to be on Verizons firmware for the verizon beta. AT&T does not participate in the beta, and I have not yet found the sprint file and the T-Mobile file has not yet been released.
Waiting for the T-Mobile because I heard it is much smoother and more stable firmware.
So is there anything that doesn't work? I'm currently downloading all the files. I'm on AT&T. Very eager to try this!

What's the current bugs you found on the beta version? anything hardcore or seems smooth to run it as daily driver?

Is the Cricket version ROM better in any way than the AT&T version? Maybe much less bloat? AT&T's crap is just ridiculous.
Does this flash on AT&T version too? I might go to Cricket after a month or two as AT&T is just too expensive.

I don't know if its any better but I can confirm it doesn't have all the ATT bloatware which is a plus.
I just flashed this to an AT&T S6 using odin and it flashed fine and seems to be working great.
Device Status: Official
Update: I can also confirm that I was able to root with pingpong root with this rom

Thanks for the update. I have AOE2 version right now with most bloat removed, but the phone feels it's slower than before. Opening task switcher takes about 1 second to load up. Of course the battery life is better and doesn't heat up as much as the pre-AOE2 version. I didn't try the Cricket ROM, but I may try it in the future.
Doesn't Cricket lack voice over LTE though?
since we have the cricket version , im pretty sure were not getting android M update seeing as s5 and s4 still haven't gotten the lollipop OTAs on cricket. any way around it or maybe we can just flash the international 5.2 version?

Thank you for this, my phone is up and running again after about a week of it being bricked. I only have 2 issues. First, my galaxy is not recognizing my sim card.. second, I get this pop up saying "unfortunately, IMS Service has stopped" which pops up every second or 2. My phone is basically unusable, ive tried reflashing stock firmware again and it just comes up again. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Ok so just double checking... which file are you supposed to run and open in Odin? Isnt it the AP file?
There is an update from 7-15-15. The newest firmware is: G920AZTUU2AOF3
Has anyone taken the update?
Description: 129.10MB
-Find My Mobile and Reactivation Lock enhancements
-Android OS security enhancements
If I'm not mistaken, isn't the OF3 update, the one that does not have root? And there is currently no way to downgrade after taking it?

I am not sure. I haven't tried it to see. I'm actually running Xtrestolite right now on my G920AZ. I ended up having to flash back to stock at one point and noticed the update.
There is probably a difference between the G920A update and the G920AZ one that I was referring to.
What I have here is a stock KitKat Firmware for theGalaxy Tab S model SM-T707A that I pulled from kies when I was trying to upgrade to lollipop a few months back. I have successfully reverted from the newest Lollipop BOE5 back to kitkat using Odinv3.09, and from there you can successfully root with https://www.kingoapp.com/ as I did successfully on the first try. I have looked in every forum that is available on xda pertaining to this tablet and have not found a single thread stating that anyone has successfully reverted from Lollipop back to KitKat so they can successfully root. Well here it is FINALLY!!! At a later date I will upload the Lollipop firmware, but since there is no known root for it yet I likely will not be doing so anytime really soon. Anyone can pull the firmware themselves using my guide of reverting back to KitKat and then pulling the Lollipop firmware manually from kies while your tablet is in download mode by using this guide: http://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-backup-firmware-from-kies-upgrade-process.458795/ (Assuming AT&T still has the firmware in their servers)
Now in case anyone asks, this does not trip knox since it is an official firmware signed by samsung. The process is very simple, just open up Odinv3.09 and input the 4 files within each tab accordingly. The 4 files are labeled in correlation to each slot in Odin so please use your noggin and don't ask me where to put the files individually. Put your tablet in download mode by turning it off first, then pressing the home button volume down and power button at the same time. You'll get a message that says press volume up to put the tablet in download mode, then just plug it in (assuming you have already downloaded the Samsung drivers to your computer) and press start. When the process is finished you would have successfully reverted back to KitKat from Lollipop with Knox still at 0x0. I hope this guide will help anyone with this wonderful tablet as you can do what you want now without worry of bricking your device for some reason.
Firmware version: KitKat 4.4.2
Build number: KOT49H.T707AUCU1ANH9
Baseband: T707AUCU1ANH9
Model: Samsung-SM-T707A
EDIT: 7/11/16
So I borrowed an AT&T sim from my friend and I have successfully pulled the updates for Lollipop. There are 2 updates and you have to do them both separately one after the other. I made it as a simple ZIP file for you to just throw it on your external SD and boot into recovery and select the option for apply update from external sd card. Now it has to be named Update.zip and since there are 2 updates to get to lollipop I named the first one Update.zip and the second one which is the actual lollipop Update2.zip. You have to be sure and rename the second one to Update.zip after you have already flashed the first one via Recovery. I tried updating the second package by itself from a fresh install of KitKat ANH9 and it game me a bunch of errors and just reset my device. So i think in order to take the lollipop update you have to be on the ANK1 (the first Update.zip) firmware before you can take the lollipop BOE4 (the second Update2.zip which you have to rename to Update.Zip). Please back up all of your data as this method will reset your device after applying each update. Hope this will help anyone (especially outside of the country) to manually update to lollipop if you do not get the OTA

As I mentioned in the post I probably won't be upgrading to lollipop anytime soon since there is no root for it yet. I had to borrow my buddy's ATT sim to even get the lollipop update in the first place as I am using it with t-mobile currently. I'm thinking of replacing them with ATT sometime in the near future since i will be going on a trip and need quality coverage where i'm going. Until then I would suggest either purchasing a sim from Amazon and paying for service for 1 week at a cheap price so you can pull the update and maybe intercept it to use for your own leisure, or wait until I go on my next trip:good::good::good:

Great I'm glad it worked out for you!
I've followed the instructions on how to pull the OTA files for my S5 Active on AT&T (G870A). I have the file as a .zip and it seems to have the right things for an update in the archive. Size is 929MB.
TL;DR - See reply #7 for download link.
My AndroidFileHost account is not for a developer, so I can't upload yet. I've requested access to upload. I'm currently uploading to Google Drive, but it will about an hour until that is completed. I'll follow up tomorrow, but the end is in sight. I'm running 6.0.1 on my S5 Active and it seems to be doing alright. Definitely less bloatware than the 5.1.1 build.
I will post updates to this thread as I have them.
Edit: same bloatware
My ISP keeps taking me offline about 200MB into the upload to Google Drive. Maybe they think I'm torrenting Mr. Robot S2E9 or something. I'll try dropbox next or wait for AndroidFileHost to give me upload rights.
You can split file using WinRAR.
Right click on your file and select "Add files to archive"
In the opened window, give a new name to your to-be-split file (e.g. G870A_6.rar). Under "Compression Method", select "Store".
Input your desired value inside "Split to volumes, bytes" box, about 100-200Mb
Click OK and you're done.

I wouldn't split the files, considering it's a file that needs to be flashed, too many opportunities for corruption.
With that said, I think Dropbox is your best choice. You could also give zippyshare a shot, it's a fairly popular hosting site with straight forward downloads (ie. No misdirection on download buttons, pop-ups, etc).
Edit
Also, thanks a ton for this, I've been waiting and waiting for someone to upload a zip of the Ota for the Active.
I was able to use the desktop Google Drive sync and I believe the file is intact. Uploading via HTTP is not very reliable.
I'm checking the link now before posting it. Should be ready in an hour or so.

Now that I finally have the option, I'm really debating whether I'm ready to lose root or not. Another thing, since I'm on of3, I'm not even certain I can use this to update, as you have to be on pa2, 3, or 6?
I no longer have AT&T, nor have those updates been released as flashable zips, so maybe I don't have an option after all. Lol

You guys can try, my guess is it will fail, I'm in the same boat, think we need to be on pb* for it to flash.
Give it a shot and report back, quite a few people are curious, myself included. Worst case, it'll fail and you have to reboot.
Edit
I should add, I would try, but I'm still on of3 and not certain I want to lose root, but you guys already have. If it works, I'll definitely contemplate updating. Good luck!
How would you actually flash this? adb sideload? Put on device and install via recovery? I'm in the same boat and currently stuck on OC5 in Germany without ATT service.

I was on PB5 originally and it wouldn't update. I took an AT&T SIM out of another phone and let it run through the update path. The first thing it went to was PB6 which was 200MB+. The AT&T site mentions that it has to be one of those three to get the update to PH2. After that, the big download started.

I tried that already, filename doesn't really matter. I looked into the files itself and this update is mostly patches from a previous version so unless you're on one of the approved previous versions this probably won't work unfortunately.
Does anyone have any pointers towards the other OTA updates? If I knew I could just order an AT&T Sim card and proceed through them I would extract every single one of them myself and post them here. Unfortunately I don't even know if an AT&T card will do anything useful here in Germany.

I have scoured every corner of the internet looking for those files, to no avail. And unfortunately, you are correct, I don't believe that it would do any good in Germany.
I'm glad I at least have root, for those stuck on oj3, I'd be pretty upset. Anybody able to get us a required pb* Ota capture, please do, you'd be a hero!

The current J320A, J320AUCU2AQC1, is available for sale. If someone wanted to take one for the team.
And I can vouch for that site. I had to buy the newest AZ to fix my baseband.

Do you still need this one? I would be glad to help.
Thanks to @johngr77 for pointing out J320AUCU2AQC1 was available to download for free. It's now in the OP.
J320AUCS3AQG1 is the current att firmware, if anyone comes across it please share.
Found the AQG1 on one expensive paid site, so maybe it would appear somewhere for free:
http://www.sams-eng.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=299
nice. In the mean time I added the OTA posted by @SBCarr
But please read post #2 before installing...i really put it here more for recovery reasons, cause if you're on J320AUCS3AQG1 and have to recover, you'll have to use AQC1 with broken baseband then upgrade using the OTA... and if your like me with no att sim, this is the only way
If my J320A isn't rooted, can I flash the stock AQC1 to AQG1 OTA file through the stock Samsung recovery ?
If yes, will there be any side effects?
Thanks
I'm going to assume no, but am unsure... maybe if you used the original file posted by sbcarr, mine was edited. But the issue is stock recovery flashes it from /cache/fota directory. stock recovery also at some point refuses to install from sd, sometimes it will let you tho
The AQG1 OTA download link is broken. @DamienMc

Late last night I used it and it failed, fiddled around a little and I was bricked. So I just pulled the link till I looked into it... want to test it? Lol
Ok links are back...the AZ ota was fine. but the A ota would fail if rooted without kingroot, with kingroot was fine tho. Weird?
I just edited the updater script more and everything is good now.

I was able to use the eng_root kernel, which technically isn't modifying your device, to push the AZ ota to my phone. But I had the legit db files to start with. When I get time I'll see I if I can't spoof a A ota db file and see if I can get it to update
AQG1 became avail. also on (paid) gsm-firmware, so maybe it'll show up soon somewhere for free
http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=10158
Figured out how to pull the firmware from smart switch, but could only get AZ, then found it here ... I'll add it to the OP a little later.
If anyone is on stock att on AQC1 feel free to inbox me and I'll help get the AQG1 files

I'm currently on AQA1(J320A), but if I'll have the AQG1 files, I would flash to AQC1 then to AQG1, or should I be on AQC1 to get AQG1 files ?
Using smart switch I don't think it matters which your on because it's the full firmware, ota just patches files so you need aqc1... if you're not rooted hook up to smart switch and see if it says there's an update available and which one it offers

I hooked up my phone (AQA1), and smart switch says "up to date", and doesn't offer anything.
I read on XDA that there is some method to trick smart switch using a free program called Fiddler.
Hmm ok it's not just me then, thought it was cause of my baseband or sim card. I downgrade to apj2 and it says the same.
Think that fiddler trick just spoofs your carrier, and that's what we're after att specific firmware

If I will upgrade to AQC1, is there a method to get AQG1 (no root)? do you know one ?

Wait your not att?
That's why smart switch didn't work.
I don't know a way besides official ota
Thank you for this. This helped me recover my SM-J320A It was showing baseband, IMEI and IMEISV all Unknown, and Sim Card not detected. After using Flashfire I flashed with J320AUCS3AQG1 **see post #2 (OTA) and then Flashed J320AUCU2AQC1 (newest available) and now everything is back to normal and working great.
BTW I am still learning and Unfamiliar with OTA. What exactly is it and is it needed? I tried to do some searching on google but no information came up. Reason I ask is I read post #2 but was unsure what it exactly means and what the proper way to do this is. Since my phone is now working I didn't want to break it just yet again LOL.
I downloaded the ATT firmware from sammobile but its just giving my phone barebones features. I am trying to get the userdata file for att note 8 for the features.
After much searching and testing i found that the CCT firmware under the SM-950U IS THE ATT VERSION even thou it says unknown i have flashed it and it works without any issues that i am aware of.
i don't think so. i would use this website to download any firmware. its reputable and has been used all across the s8 forums.

it has the user data file in it
you put the userdata file in the UMS spot otherwise you will get no where with the features need to open the ini file in a prince comos odin and change the ums to 1 to allow it to be clickable

Thanks for that! I'm waiting on att firmware to finish downloading so I can flash my unlocked note 8.
I noticed I maxed out at 15mbps on att LTE on my unlocked firmware.
Also, what app did you use to disable bloat?

From what i gathered and i have personally went up into the ATT stores and asked multiple employees who have new phones to run speed tests its around 8 mbs down apparently att is seriously throttling their networks in major areas. I didnt use a app you can just hover over the app and disable it. most of them can be uninstalled as well the only apps i couldnt kill or get rid of was device help and att remote support
and it seems to be around prime times when it happens. sadly att isnt what they used to be seing as tmobile is rising and verizon right behind them. to bad tmobile has no coverage where i am or id be using them nor verizon.

Hi again, sorry for all the questions... do you have a guide for that? I d/led PrinceComsy's Odin v3.12 and the CCT firmware.
Unfortunately, there's no USERDATA file in my firmware zip. I'm using the SM-N950U1. Can I use the USERDATA file from SM-N950U on my SM-N950U1?
Yes u can use the U version for the U1 the U is for locked software and U1 is unlocked software that's the difference flashing the locked software won't make ur phone locked either just the software your putting on your phone. I didn't use a guide I got the or in from someone else post

Just flashed the AQI5 (CCT) file from this specific link with included USERDATA file...
Can confirm this is AT&T firmware.
Will update if I get the carrier features to work as well (VoLTE, Wifi Calling, HD Voice, etc...)
