Nevermind I figured it out. I tried OTA like I have been almost every day and it had no update, but I downloaded LG bridge and got the update. Thanks for the tip man. I'm on Bell btw.

Who has received the HD7 8107 update?

I have T-Mobile USA and have not received it. T-Mobile USA says 7720 is the latest for the HD7, yet some folks say they have it. Do you have it, and did you force it?

...not even the two guys who claimed to have it haven't posted yet....?
Got it. Forced it. Followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
Got tired of waiting. It was easy and the phone works fine.
Also forced mine, but can't find the article. I'm not unlocked.

Ok, all you need to do is read the rest of the article, especially update two where it states if your phone and setting no longer work to flash the language pack in the same way.

I think it does an auto back up. it's the first step that takes so much time. Not sure how to back it up from there.
got my hd7 updated 2 weeks back... no issues with it, bootloader changed to 5.12..2250.0(135240)

That is because you are not able to force the Firmware update that is pushed with this - it is the firmware update that fixes the MAC address issue. Surprising that T-Mobile US are not pushing the update for just this reason, pretty sure it is against regulations to have the MAC address changing!
I received a replacement HD7 and the tmobile rep swears the latest software is on it, I will post back shortly.....

I suspect it will be latest available on T-Mobile network, ie 7720!
Just got 8701 without forcing but got a zune notification instead. Bootloader upped too. Surprised.
Unlocked TMO HD7.
TMOUS updating the HD7 today finally. Got a total of 3 updates. 7740, then 8107, followed by an update from HTC. Not sure what the HTC update did. Anyone have any ideas?
Its the firmware fix that fixes the MAC address changing on reboot...

Update incoming (236mb) - check now 05.13.15

I have the update available as well, it auto downloaded when I hit check for update so be aware.
Mine JUST started! Glad I caught it during download and shut the phone off. Just rooted yesterday and I'll be pissed if I lose it! lol. Hopped on so I could find what needed frozen in TiBu to stop it.

Opposite here. I took the update and want to root. According to the root thread, OE2 can be rooted so I should be good. We'll see.
So do I have to Odin back to stock? I really don't wanna do that!
Anyone know whats new?? :\

Anyone else confirm? I've frozen my ATT software update in TB and I'm not on wifi right now. Don't want to use the data.
Let us know if you have root once you updated or if you can still root your phone.
You can't update OTA if you have root!

I'm not sure that this is very accurate. You may be able to download the update, but installing it is a whole different thing.

You can't root if you've installed the update either. I'm going to see if I can Odin back. Doubt it, but worth a shot.

Are you saying that you're rooted and that you simply have the ability to update but haven't taken the OTA? Or you've verified that your phone is rooted, taken this OTA and your phone is working fine? I didn't think you could take the OTA rooted.

So the OEM has patched the exploit from pingpongroot? Might hold off on the OTA now for a while longer.

It appears so. When I attempt to run the exploit, I'm notified that my device isn't supported yet. I'm not too worried as the team seems to be chewing through devices and updates at a cyclic rate.
So... most important thing to know here that nobody has mentioned...
How do you prevent it from updating if you're not rooted? Or is the answer to this question still "root the device" -_-

This is just my opinion, and since everyone has one, take it for what you will, but I've frozen the AT&T Software Update because assuming Samsung patches the root in the next update and sends it to the carriers to distribute, do you really want to do everything you can to get the next update even if you lose root?
Personally, I've done everything I could to get root, even if this cost me Samsung Pay which hopefully it won't, because someone smart enough on here will figure out how to patch the update with a ROM that we can flash later.....
Obviously that won't work right this second since we can't flash anything but Smart Switch / Odin stock junk, but assuming Safestrap or similar gets released, you can keep your bootloader lock all you want ATT, we'll just flash what we want over it!

Haha, looks like I was updating my post at the same time you were posting.
What I was actually looking for was a way to do it without rooting seeing as we still have no confirmation regarding Samsung Pay functionality and root breaking it. At some point in the near future in my career, things like Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, etc are going to become useful so I need to have mine handy.

Official Nougat update for US T713?

Has an official Nougat update for US T713 showed up at all yet? If not, is it likely to happen? I know some have had trouble with Nougat, so maybe I don't actually want it... but I do want it! :laugh:

Yes! Just flashed it a couple of hours ago. It's available from sammobile but I pulled it from smart switch. Much faster than sammobile. Its looking great.

Unless like me you're rooted... No OTA then. Smart Switch is what I do partly because I end up with the stock tar file(s) and partly because it's a hell of a lot faster than downloading the file from sammobile.
Sure enough... a manual check and it is now downloading. I guess I should have tried that before asking!
Other than Nougat base and the change to the theming are there any other big changes? Does Samsung support theming on any of the tablets or is that reserved for the phones?
Is anyone else missing the built-in blue light filter? It's supposed to be in the quick tile icons but it's not there, and I don't mean reading mode.

Samsung left this out in the Nougat update for the S2. Don't ask why. Nobody besides Samsung knows probably.

Very laggy when playing games after updating EMUI 8

Hi is everyone getting laggy playing games after updating to EMUI 8? Or if there are any tips for not getting laggy when playing games?
I also experienced this. Possible solutions:
1. Root your device then install Proto8 Kernel (this is what I did).
2. Wait for System Update that has GPU Turbo mode

The whole experience across the board everything including the camera has improved. It is literally like getting a new phone. This is a killer value phone now. Picked mine off eBay open box for 280 bucks and after this update it's a hard phone to beat for this price point.

The update caused my Google Pay to no longer work. The app cites that my phone may be rooted or using unofficial software. Other than that everything is quite an improvement.
What about OTAs now? Will they still work when sprint releases them?

No why would an update unlock an IMEI? IMEI number stays the same no matter the update and even v40 sim doesn't get unlocked if you flash a custom rom
Does anyone have a work around for Google Pay after the update?
can i install this on my unlocked AT&T g8?
