Unlocked AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE no update after 1st March 2017 Security Patch

Unlocked AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE no update after 1st March 2017 Security Patch
Hi. I have an Unlocked At&t S7 Edge which haven't received any update after the 1st March 2017 Security Patch Update. When I check for software updates it says the phone is on the latest version of Android. I live outside US so does it affect that. I haven't been able to update to Oreo. Please Help
The Software details of the Phone are as follows:
Model number: SM-G935A
Android Version: 7.0
Baseband Version: G935AUCS4BQC2
Kernel Version: 3.18.31-10280464 [email protected] #1 Thu Mar 16 15:47:20 KST 2017
Build Number: NRD90M.G935AUCS4BQC2
Also can I somehow install the official Oreo update by Samsung using Samsumg Kies or something I really don't wanna get into Custom Roms or Recovery.
Any Help would pe Appreciated

You will never get OTA's on that firmware because you are outside the US (and not on an AT&T network). I don't know if you can get the firmware through SmartSwitch or not, as I converted my S7 Edge to the unlocked firmware ages ago.
Your best bet for updates the normal way is to convert your device to the US unlocked variant (935U) so that you get updates directly from Samsung. It's official firmware, but you will need an unofficial/patched version of Odin to load it. However, once you do, your phone will behave like an ordinary unlocked version in every way except the bootloader is still locked.

Thx a lot. I did it. Not without problems...:crying:
Test more than 5 different odin. Had boot loops ...:crying::crying:
Finally, I end up with the latest Oreo Firmware and now my phone is great and a lot faster. New phone! :highfive:
Ps The Odin that did it for me (the 20th time) was the patched (Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD)

Unlocked Oreo on the S7 Edge is incredible. It's actually better now than when it shipped with Marshmallow. Compared to AT&T Marshmallow (nevermind Nougat), it really is like getting a new phone. Which is why I would suggest that anyone with a carrier branded device switch unless they can't live without the extra features, such as WiFi calling. It's just that much better.

If you wanna give P another shot download this and put on a sd card and flash in your recovery of your phone the process will take about 5 or more min don't interrupt the process the phone will factory reset by it self and when it reboots you will have P and should have all your cricket oem on the device like I do

You say we have to have the latest update. Just to verify, I have update ending in ARIC and do not have any pending updates. I have G965U Sprint and I can't seem to get any info about this update nor seeing anyone else with this update so far.

This firmware was only captured for only 2 firmwares on the s9 side
I looked for the s9+ also but like ya said its not there yet my guess its not on the s9 server yet or could be a different build number but I wouldn't figure
I would look up your build and android 9 is a 2GB size firmware look for the newest by month and date under the firmware you are on now

If u want to get pie, u have to get the ARI6 Odin files which are about 4GB. This is an Oreo file with September Patch. The subsequent update files on SamsungFirmwareScience is all you would need going forward after that to upgrade to Pie and other Patches if u choose to stay on Oreo. You just need to take a leap of faith and downgrade to ARI6 using the Patched Odin by Thomas or so 3.13.3

And I could just sideload the unlocked version of the ARI6 file? Like I wouldn't need carrier specific? According to SamMobile, there's no ARI6 for the Sprint (cdma) it only goes up go ARI4

All Samsung firmware are not carrier specific. Now how your phone works with the firmware is totally unknown to me. Sprint is weird since it's a cdma network. If u were on a GSM network i would have said it's as easy as pie. But to answer your question yes, it's simple as pie to just download Odin and ari6, put your phone in download mode, load the files to Odin (if u want to retain your sprint software use HOME_CSC rather than CSC) then run the update files from there using adb sideload from the recovery menu

Does my phone need to be unlocked before I can register for beta. I am currently on tmobile with a phone that is 10 days old. It will be another 30 days before i can unlock with tmobile.

The BETA is only available for N960U1 models. If you have the T-Mobile branded Note 9, then you have a N960U.
A way around that is to use ODIN to flash the N960U1 firmware. Then the beta should be available to you.
I currently have an ATT N960U, running the N960U1 firmware, on T-Mobile and I got the beta notification earlier today and signed up.
Even if you don't get into the beta program. You can still get the beta OTAs from firmware.science. You'll still need to ODIN the U1 firmware, of course.

My Samsung+ is white background and is not offering me the beta. Unlocked device bought straight from Samsung / Verizon SIM.
Edit: Install the beta Samsung+ apk from here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-11-2-3-0-android-apk-download/download/ and then it will offer it to you

No. This is NOT for U firmware. And it's not even for ARJ7. You need to use ODIN to flash the ARJ9 build for the U1. N960U1SQU1AEJ9. Then either sign up for the beta through the Samsung+ app, or download the update from firmware.science.
Also it doesn't matter if you're carrier locked or not. And yes U1 will work just fine with ATT, but you'll lose WiFo calling and VoLTE.

I was able to get AT&T wifi calling and volte, messages sync, etc. working in my AT&T N960U on U1 firmware by simply flashing the ATT ARJ7 CSC. The only issue here is that you will lose software updates on the device, they will all need to be downloaded and flashed manually in recovery as an OTA update zip.

Like you said it breaks updates, and it would probably jack up the beta as well.

If I open Spotify (or Amazon music) and start playing music and then put the phone down, when I pick it up and try turning the screen back on it doesn't work, just restarts. Even if I don't press the power button and just turn it on with the lift to wake feature the same thing happens. The Iris scanner light turns on and off a few times like it's trying to work normally but doesn't actually. I sent in the system logs with the Samsung members app, any ideas how to fix it?*
I'm on the newest pie beta on the Unlocked us version.
Turning off lift to wake doesn't help.

What did they do Location options ?
In Oreo or prior one could use just the device GPS for location accuracy. I think that option is no longer available? It appears to be just either On or Off. Nothing in between.

The 160+ page thread called "Note 9 Pie Alpha/Beta."
If you want the U1 firmware beta straight from Samsung, then you need to be on ARJ9 for the U1. Then sign up for the beta through the Samsung+ app.

Of course you do. You have to be on ARJ9 for the U1 before you can get the beta. It's only for U.

Verizon CSAA to CSB3

Anyone try the firmware science CSB3 if you were running CSAA?

Mustang reported on Android Central forum that it doesnt work if you are already on CSAA. You have to be on ARL1 to go to CSB3 right now... they'll probably have a CSAA to CSB3 before too long.
I'm still contemplating going back to ARL1. Just trying to find good instructions on doing that for VZW.

Dude, its listed literally 4 posts up from yours. Look back and you'll find it.

Thanks for the link!
I was able to download CSB3 and update from CSAA but I noticed my phone still says 'Software updated to N960USQu1ARL1' under the Software update section. Maybe it isn't going to change for now and the next time there's an actual update it will work through the normal process, but it isn't a huge deal because I can always manually download the OTA updates and flash them. Does anyone's phone say 'Software updated to N960USQU1CSB3' that went through the update from CSAA to CSB3?
I know I can odin back to ARL1 and then update my phone through the normal process, but I'm being lazy and don't want to re-do everything (back in the day I didn't care about that stuff and would start over clean all the time). I guess this is the price I pay for installing Android Pie on my device before VZW released it. I'm ok with it.

SM-N960W to SM-N960U1: OTA?

Hello, simple question: I've converted my N960W running Android 9 into a N960U1 running Android 10.
I've read somewhere that Samsung can somehow detect when you flash a firmware from a different model, and blocks OTA updates. Is it true?

Thanks Trex for the answer. Not what I was hoping for but yeah... flashing with Odin doesn't take that long anyway

I've switched back and fort and never had an issue getting OTA. It's weird that some folks are affected that way and others are not.

Honestly N960W is almost similar to stock android, you get stock caller ID & block, Samsung cloud, and security features which are not available in carrier roms, All of carrier rom comes with bloatwares on them as well.

If you are okay with Andriod 10 thats fine as you won't be getting any more android update on note 9, so its totally fine even if you not getting any OTA updates

Unfortunately, the stock Videotron "w" rom my phone comes with has some carrier crap (un-deleteable bookmarks and apps mostly, related to different media companies/newspapers belonging to Videotron's owner like an app called J5, Journal de Montreal/Quebec bookmarks, etc.)
The U1 ROM is 100% clean

I was thinking of converting my Fido N960W to U1 also. Is there a particular guide you followed?

No just download the latest U1 rom and flash it with the patched version of Odin here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
That will factory reset your device though so backup your stuff first
And to answer the question I've asked in this thread, I've received the February OTA update a few days ago :laugh:

Great! Thanks for your help.

Is it better to use HOME_CSC_ or CSC_ when going from 960W to U1?
