Hi, guys.
My SM-N910P (OB7) just downloaded update - 276.98 MB.
I still do not want to be update yet.
Tell me, please, the location of the update file.
I want to copy it to computer.
Dont take the update youll be sorry
I do not want to be updated.
I want to find where the update file is loaded into the phone - where it is.
Cant get it wothour root access
Thank, but I have root access. And I have Root Explorer too.
Should be in the cache folder
Cool upload the oe1 recovery to sav us all !!
In the folder "Cache" no update file..
Search for "Update.zip" is my other guess. I use ES file explorer and am not sure on the root explorer features but with ES I believe I have to have show hidden files enabled to see secret stuff. Maybe the same with the update?
Thanks to all.
I figured out where the lost file update.zip.
CF-AutoRoot cleared FOTA folder in the folder CACHE.

Any chance you could flash back to stock, download the the update again, pull it off your phone with adb and then reroot?
Many of us would be eternally grateful to get a copy.

Some people need a copy?
I put it here.
There's a strange format archive, I was able to unpack in part by the latest version of 7-zip.
I saw that patched nearly all system applications.
..
Someone can explain to me why all regret that update to OE1?
Custom firmware does not interest me.

Sitting here on fresh Stock OB7 with update downloaded... can't find it with ADB.
tried ADB pull /cache/fota/update.zip Does not exist
tried ADB pull /cache/update.zip Does not exist
tried all I could think of.... does not exist...
Yes, ADB DOES recognize my device...
I've been out of commission for a couple weeks, would have thought this was handled by now.
See anything wrong with my syntax?

in the same boat as you. was gonna do it last night but prior obligations foiled that plan. even though its been posted, i was trying to pull it myself before coming here to see that its been posted already... still curious of the remote location though since i went back to OB7 for the sole purpose of pulling it.

Something wrong/different with the above linked file... I guess. I can't open it to extract the stock OE1 recovery.
Downloaded it 4 times. Maybe I'm just a little "slow".
EDIT: Managed to pull it off my phone... for whatever it's worth.

I not used adb.
I reflash odin OB7, download OTA update again, phone off, flash odin TWPR, download in TWPR and copy update.zip from /cache/fota to externalSD.
Mirror - OE1 update.zip on Mega.
Thanks for the reply. The reason a lot of people dont want the OE1 update is because of the limitations it puts on your phone. Cant use Odin in certain areas and also cant go back, from what i understood, limiting ones customization and tinkering abilities.
ewww @ mega.... ill pass and stick with the original, but thanks
@jhill110 you aint slowwwwwww, this entire OE1 has been nothing but hell from the start.

This update is not available stock OE1 recovery.
OB7 recovery is patched to OE1 recovery.
I wrote that the archive has a strange format, and I was able to unpack his part with errors only with the latest version of 7-zip.
I attached update-script from this update.
Added SHA1.
Added screens about recovery.
Yup, those are the only 2 files in the recovery folder via the update.zip
Both files
Downloaded the update. Guess it's good to have. Might need it for fixing up the firmware I modded to get next update. Or not. Lol

Hey everyone. I tried rooting using Heimdall on my Mac, but apparently did something very wrong. I can still boot into download mode, but when I turn my phone on I get the initial logo, then a black screen. Any help to get my phone back up would be greatly appreciated!

If you can still get into download mode.. you're not bricked..
Give me a little more info on what you tried to flash.... as well as what Android version you were on... and if you had or were trying to get cwm recovery on the device via heimdall..
No worries... we'll get ya back up and running... just don't get flash happy and try something until myself or another member can confirm it's right..
I'm going to assume you were following a guide for rooting with heimdall... link that guide so I can look at it..

Ok, no more flashing until I hear back from you. Thanks for the reply! I'm actually not sure which version I was on. I know, big mistake.
I initially used this guide goo dot gl/LZt2l3 but I couldn't get the terminal version, so I flashed the kernel via the frontend. It appeared to work, and rebooted, but I was getting a "samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100" boot screen and then black. So I tried flashing back to a stock kernel I found. Now it shows the right model number, but still goes black.
Thanks again for the reply. Looking forward to getting this mess I made fixed.
Will I be able to fix this with my Mac, or do I need to try to find a Windows machine to use?

Ok... no worries... as I said.. if you have download mode we can fix this...
You flashed the wrong model and bootloader I believe... so it messed up you're partitions...
What you want to do is Odin a one-click from rwilco's repo...
Give me a few minutes and I'll hunt up the links for you... I'll also link you to a good heimdall guide..

I actually already have those files. I think that was the last thing I tried flashing to fix things, but I was unsuccessful. I actually download two different files, so I have the following two:
2) Download the GB27 One-Click self-extractor of choice

Ok... read through this guide and see if it tells you anymore info.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686
If you followed the protocol for flashing with heimdall correctly and still have issues... we might need to use Odin...
As you have flashed the wrong firmware.. I believe you will need to repartition when you flash..
Let me know... I'll be on xda.. all day, until we get you up and running...

Thanks, you're awesome. Of those two files, should I use the stock or the rooted version?
A couple of things I didn't see in the tutorial:
1) How to repartition (assuming I need to), and
2) Which files to flash. I have a lot more files than listed in the tutorial, so should I try to flash them all?

That is up to you... the rooted version just has the binaries for root and a super user app.. I would try the rooted version... so after you can use mobile Odin to flash, instead of heimdall..

The Heimdall one click method does not seem to support the file type that I downloaded for some reason. I can use the regular Heimdall frontend app though. Then, should I just flash all the extracted files? There are 10 or so of them.

Read that last guide I linked...
I think you can flash all of them or just a select few... but if you can get a custom recovery on at the least... we can boot to it...push a couple zip's over and flash a rom from a safe recovery.... I'll explain more for that if we have to go that route..

Okay, I think I have good news to report. I'm booting now...basically. It's staying on the 4G screen for a long time, but eventually boots. Well, at least the first time it did. I just tried again and it stuck on the 4G screen.
I can still get into recovery though. Should I try flashing a custom recovery using Heimdall? If so, where can I get a compatible recovery?
Progress is good! Thanks!

Did you use the rooted rom... if so.. I would try to go into recovery and wipe cache and reboot to see if it boots up... also.. is it stock recovery, I can't remember what that one click comes with...
If it's stock and we can't get it to boot... then we will have to heimdall a kernel/recovery..remember our recoveries and kernel's are tied together on this device...
If this is the case.. I think we can find you a custom recovery/kernel and heimdall it and then flash a rom from it... after you push the zip's to you're internal storage..

I did use the rooted files. I'm not sure if it's stock recovery, but it looks like it. Definitely not CWM.

Ok... I would go to rwilco's repo and get a gb27 kernel that has a custom recovery and flash it with heimdall..
Even if it doesn't boot.. we can atleast push a rom zip and gapps to you're phone and the el26 kernel(safe kernel for flashing) and then flash the rom/gapps from it..
I can look and point you to the right kernel if you're not comfortable looking yourself..

I can't see how it would hurt.... Give it a try.. you might want to pluck the boot.img out of it first as i'm not entirely sure what @andybones did with the kernel.
Thanks. I have not worked with firmware zips much. Can I just pull the boot.img out and re-zip? Or does the archive need to be packaged in a specific way or with a specific tool? I am usually running OSX.
This M9 is like a new phone now that I have it s-off/unlocked....being stock for so long was torture. Self-inflicted, but still torture.

Most zip utilities will allow you to simply remove that boot.img without even unzipping... it's a pretty simple zip though so if you need to unzip... remove and rezip..
Great. Thanks. Don't want to screw anything up.
I've generally been a pretty quiet XDA member for the past 8yrs...but I have to say:
Dotdat, you are a valuable member here. Great job and thanks for all you do for everyone.
I flashed the full firmware.zip with the new boot.img and recovery.img
reflashed the custom TWRP.

Those of you who manually flashed the OTA-- how long did the 'Patching system image after verification' step take for you? I feel like it's been on this step for over 20 mins...
Nm...just finished that step now.
FYI to anyone taking this route-- that step took atleast 25 minutes to complete on my device...so don't freak out!

Yes.. I had posted in the 5.1 update thread yesterday that when i took the OTA, it threatened me with a downtime of 35 minutes!
Stock Deodexed 2.6.605.15 ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...m-stock-deodexed-official-2-6-605-15-t3184535
Having a problem here. I've tried putting the OTA on both internal and external memory, have tried renaming to 0PJAIMG.zip and ptt.zip. When I boot into download mode it doesn't search for anything. It just comes up with reboot options and below the warning message it says SD NOT MOUNTED. I RUU'd with the SD card method when I got the phone, and updated to the previous firmware via SD card, so I'm not sure why this isn't working.
Edit: Yeah I forgot you can't do this with 128gb card. I'm good.
I was trying to adb sideload marshmallow onto my at&t Note 5. I may have forgotten to run the adb in admin mode, so the device reset to Lollipop. When I tried to run again the phone gives an error when trying to put into adb sideload mode " m-verity verification failed update from adb is disabled". I tried re-flashing back to 5.1.1 via odin but with no luck. Anyone have a suggestion or a fix for this?
The phone powers on with no issues, but I'd like to put Marshmallow on the device and not wait another lifetime for at&t to send out the OTA.
Same problem but I had run as administrator enabled I got to about 15% done then I think I got a status 7 error or something like that and now I have the dm verification error

Looks like there's no fix in site...guess we will have to wait for the OTA.

I have this same issue and I keep trying to do an ODIN restore using the methods provided but it stays stuck on the NAND write start and it doesn't progress from that point. I've tried a few different MD5 files I have found. Can anyone offer any help?

If you use the one from the thread above and you run Odin in Admin mode it should work fine.

how do I run Odin in Admin mode? Is it different from right clicking and run as administrator or is that it? Just tried that and still stops at NAND write

Yes. Are you putting each file in the correct place in Odin? The files all begin with the box they belong in (AP, BL, CP, CSC)
Only flash AP don't flash anything else. Let boot then reboot to recovery. Dm-verity should be back to normal. My resets all the time after I use this method.

Flashing a zip?
So, forgive me if I am *way* off. Perhaps the answer is too obvious for me to notice. But Odin doesn't permit flashing of zips. I extracted everything and put it in a tar using WinAce. Was that the right procedure?

Hi, @mahdi72. It usually takes one to two weeks after the initial release for the TAR file to be available. I grab it off of SAMMOBILE or Samsung-Firmware and then upload it to Android File Host, which is much faster.
If you find it before me, let me know and I'll make it available for the developers and community.
Hurrah I am installing now! 10ish days before the S8 comes out. I will enjoy these last 10 days with my S6. Hopefully this update will magically improve a 2 year old battery.
I pulled the OTA file from my phone ...via...waiting for it to download which took a fewminutes on WiFI ...then pushing later...and rooted my phone..then booted back using Root Explorer to find it under the Samsung device called Fota...and their was something called Update.Zip that was about 1.04GB...so it cant bea corrupted download or anything and when i copy it over... to my phones storage back to my pc...it says unexpected end of archive? and all i see is MetaINF but the Zip Repair saw more files in it and I'm not sure what to do from here..?

What were you trying to do? Were you trying to make an Odin-flashable TAR file from your OTA? It doesn't work that way.
Restore your phone to stock, take the OTA that way. An OTA needs you to be running stock and stock recovery. That will get you to Nougat. You should be able to root then.
The TAR file will be available in one to two weeks. You should be aware that the TAR files are generally 1.7 GB, larger than the OTA.
Ohhhh!!

Well, I am a fresh n00b android person and I was thinking maybe I could help provide a Tar File from an OTA I Could pull from my phone lol.
I restored my phone back to stock and will install the New Firmware, I was just afraid that If I do that and I'm not liking it that I won't be able to odin back to Marshmellow But I'm willing to take the chances, as far as rooting and all would you be able to provide me the links? or forums for this version? all i really like on my specific phone is stock with an audio mod and nothing else installed lol x)

Like other guys said, you can't update straight to Nougat from big daddy's until the tar file is released, but if you can't wait, then do the following:
Find Koop's thread and install the latest available stock thru Odin. Then update to Nougat thru system update like everyone on stock. Then you can reroot (there's a thread for that too).
Normally this process does not wipe data or media, but of course you need to backup everything just in case. And you might find you need to wipe data anyway for some system stuff to work right. Especially if you installed big daddy's Grace UX stuff. That has some funky system apps from other devices.
I'm about to go thru this exact process, so wish me luck.
(Sorry for not providing links to those threads, but I'm on mobile. They're not hard to find anyway.)
Does anyone have an idea when the S7 active potentially might see Oreo via OTA update?
Is it hard to install on your own via root or whatever?
Thanks.

you can already use stock recovery to flash it... Just make sure you flash the previous OTA updates until BRB5 are the last 4 characters of your baseband in settings -> about -> software info
I'm running the first oreo listed on that link on my S7 Active, not sure if the others will work, but once you are on BRB5, just copy the oreo zip to the root of your MICRO SD card, reboot into stock recovery, select install zip from sd card, and select the file... to do this, you cannot be rooted, if your system status shows as custom, flash nougat with odin... if you need it the odin files as well asall previous OTA updates are listed in the website as well. Just remove /OTA/Oreo from the end of the url
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/OTA/Oreo/
let me know how it goes, i'm happy with it, it has the S8 style launcher and app icons, and the new AOD, but unfortunately, no live infinity wallpapers :/

There is no s7 active oreo rom in ODIN flashable format available yet, but you can update by flashing nougat, and flashing two ota flashable zip files in stock recovery. If you go to this website, and click the blue download button, you can extract the downloaded file with 7zip, or winrar, and flash the md5 files in ODIN, and you will then be on stock android nougat. You can then copy this zip file to your phone's external micro sd card, without extracting it, and use stock recovery mode (turn off, then volume up + home + power) to "apply update from sd card", or if you don't have a micro sd card, click "apply update from adb" and look up "how to use adb sideload" on google. Once it's done updating, do the same thing with this zip file, using stock recovery and "apply update from sd card" or using "apply update from ADB", and you will be on android 8.0 oreo. you can always use the first file you downloaded to go back to stock nougat if you don't like oreo, but it's working great for me!

It should work, make sure you have the usb drivers installed, the LATEST VERSION of odin (older versions may get stuck), and make sure your phone is in download mode (hold down power + volume down + home until a blue screen appears. click volume up). Then, open odin, connect your phone, and add the four .tar.md5 files extracted from the link you quoted. It works for me, but if it doesn't, try this file instead. let me know how it goes

Oh, i see. You're on bootloader version 3. In that case, there is most likely nothing you can do to fix the phone. Just wait patiently for an odin flashable version of oreo for the s7 active, which should have bootloader 3 out of the box, and that should work. At this point, it is simply a waiting game. I really can't do anything for you, wish I could, but I unfortunately do not have the knowledge to modify bootloader versions yet. So, patience is key. Cheers!

Try flashing this in the AP slot in odin to unlock the aboot partition, then flash the nougat from the link i gave before, using just the AP file from the firmware in the AP slot, and don't use the BL, CP, OR CSC slots

i realize now that the issue with my idea is... root... root is not achieved on oreo yet... and the firmware.mobi website upload to dropbox doesn't work, just refreshes after clicking start upload. So i'm stuck. But, if somebody could provide an image i could flash to root oreo on the s7 active, i will be able to make an odin .tar.md5
but i can not without root :/
One other thing you could try is extracting the ota zip for oreo you previously had, take the boot.img from it, compress the boot.img into a tar file, and then try flashing that with odin, in the AP slot. let me know how it goes, my phone is in a boot loop cause i tried an older root method :/
luckily, i used an earlier oreo OTA file, so i'm still on BL2

Ok, after lots of digging through the ota zip, i believe i may have one step towards a solution.
But i need you to check it, as if it does work, it will update my phone to bootloader 3, which i would rather not do, since you already have bootloader 3, and it can't worsen the situation
now that i think about it, i could try flashing this on my currently installed marshmallow, after rooting, then try making the odin .tar.md5, but with the bootloader 3, so you can downgrade back to marshmallow. what do you think?
Try flashing the attached bootloader file, which i made for bootloader 3:
let me know if it works, thanks.. i might have a method for the system, too
EDIT NO STOP! i forgot a bin file, fixing now
EDIT 2 OK, SHOULD BE ALL GOOD NOW!
EDIT 3 I'M BRICKED NOW, but did see the new bootloader android logo at the bottom after flashing, then black screen qualcomm 9008
