SM-P585M got 7.0 nougat in Brazil - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus

SM-P585M (10.1 Tab A 6 2016 with S pen) got 7.0 nougat in Brazil.
I Had TWRP, adaptive storage and root on 6.0 so I needed to update it via the Smart Switch PC software.
The software downloaded the flash version and flashed it.
I'd lost TWRP and root, and adaptive storage is not present either.
If someone know how to enable it back on Nougat please inform.
Best regards,

Does anyone have a reliable link to the update? Been waiting for the OTA for ages
Thanks!

Install Samsung Smart Switch and Upgrade from there.
If you installed root and TWRP they will be gone.

Just did it but smartSwitch isn't showing the update button. There's a lot of spam/scams from other download sites so i've been unable to get nougat.

Just got it, followed this guide from another post:
1. Download Kies 3 for PC http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...Kies3Setup.exe
2. Connect your device and ignore any suggestion to download SmartSwitch. (Kies keeps complaining and suggesting you download SmartSwitch)
3. Once you pass all the SmartSwitch suggestions you will be on a Kies screen that looks like its not detecting your Tab S2. From here Click "Tools"
4. Select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization.
5. Type your model name "SM-T710" (Make sure you type this in capitol letters)
6. Type your serial number when prompted.
7. Click OK when asked if you "want to proceed with the firmware upgrade and initialization" (all settings and data will be deleted but not after you press OK)
8. The next popup will be another to confirm the upgrade to OL6. (This is the last chance to abort the flash)
Thanks!

I had this exact problem with SM-G890A on 6.0.1. I flashed a stock firmware, and I had no mobile network, sim card wasn't detected, etc. The problem was that my device had the most recent update (from March). I am not an expert, but I believe this update makes it harder for devices to be susceptible to flashes (hence "extra security"). To fix this problem, after flashing a stock firmware, I put my phone in recovery mode (volume up, power, and home) and downloaded ADP, and from there, I was able to download each update after my stock firmware until I reached the update that I was on before I ever flashed. I hope that makes some sense. There is a great post on here with the updates available for download and instructions on how to use ADP. I wish I still had the link, but try searching the updated version that you should be on. Whenever I finished the last update and my phone restarted, I restarted it again in recovery mode and cleared the partition cache. Restarted it again and VIOLA, I finally had service. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Sorry, I am not great at explaining things. I hope you can resolve this. [email protected]
Fixed and Downgraded
I had this same issue. I was able to fix it by first upgrading back to 7.0 as mentioned above, and then flashing ONLY the BL and AP files of the 6.0.1 firmware using Odin. Worked for me.
U need flash to android 6.0.1 build Pk8.

Hey I had the same problem as you and I was panicking. I downgraded to 6.0.1 from 7.0 final version but the SIM/IMEI/Broadband/anything phone related was broken. What happened was the final build of 7.0 upgrades the security of the SIM/IMEI/Broadband and so if you flash any other firmware, it won't work with the newer security and it'll remain unknown. To fix this, you have to upgrade to 7.0 final build again. Just adb sideload all the way back to 7.0 final QD1 and your SIM/IMEI should activate again. I guess ATT/Samsung is preventing us from downgrading just like Apple

BTV-W09C100B301 Guide How to update

Can anybody provide me with a tutorial how to flash B301 update which can be found via Firmware Finder for BTV-W09C100 version? I tried it once but came up with bricked tablet. Fortunately I was able to fix it after 2 days of research. That is the reason for step-by-step tutorial.
Last question: How is that even possible that B301 update can be only downloaded via Firmware Finder app and not via Settings->Update? Is it beta? Can anybody explain it to me? I am new to Huawei products.
Thanks guys
Hi!
B301 is an internal test build. I couldn't find a way to flash it properly, neither stock ways nor using unlocked bootloader and twrp (the update consists of two parts each with a different flashing method).
Better wait until official update appears.

To update to Nougat.
You have to first update to next higher version firmware than what you have and then go to Nougat. I read on some Italian forum that you should not update directly to Nougat. For example: if you have B009 then you have to select next higher version which is B010 and then update to nougat. But they advised against directly updating to nougat firmware from any version. For your model I don't know the exact firmware version but you can check in firmware finder.
(check your about page to find out the exact firmware version for your model)
How to use firmware finder?
Inside the firmware -> go to settings-> switch on the option -> add on proxy
Now go to your Wi-Fi settings
Tap and hold your Wi-Fi connection
You should get two options
Select "modify network"
Select - "manual" option
Then add the below in the respective fields
Proxy - > localhost
Port -> 8080
That's it. Save the settings. If you don't see the update here then go to firmware finder and select the firmware you want to download (select the next higher version than your existing firmware- > click on "send firmware to updater" . And then go back to updater in settings and check. you should see the OTA to update.
Now go to settings - > updater-> you should see update for your tablet there.
Once you are done with the update, again go to updater.
Now you should see the update for B301. This is more than 2 gb.
Just click on update and wait for it to finish. It will reboot twice. Wait for it to finish optimizing the system.
You have Android nougat now on your BTV-W09
Operating system is gorgeous. It is very similar to what I found on Huawei mate 8.
Nougat is beautiful on this tablet. Working excellently.
Some more steps here and many important posts in this thread -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71955984&postcount=23 Check the link to Huawei website to get your rollback package if something goes wrong. Mostly it won't but if you don't like nougat then you can return to marshmallow with the help of rollback package using dload method.
Have fun updating. I would recommend updating to nougat without any hesitation.

This would work if the update was a full rom, but the test nougat build we have got consists of 2 separate zips, and data cannot be flashed after the core nougat zip (for example the updater app is missing from the core zip, it's part of the second data zip)

It will work just fine. I already updated using this method on my tablet and there are others too who did this successfully in the other thread.
After downloading in firmware finder you have an option to push it to updater. That will ensure both zip files are extracted and the update is sent to the updater as one file.
So I can confidently say that this is a working method and because of the steps that I mentioned in my previous post I was able to update my tablet. Otherwise my tablet would still be in marshmallow. But no, my tablet is updated to nougat now.
So I would suggest you and every one to please give a try. It will work. Please follow the steps correctly. Procedure is very smooth.

I just did it this morning with this method on my BTV-W09C128. I had happen what TaRsY mentioned. I no longer have updater app in settings anymore. Otherwise everything is running great. I'm hoping when the update becomes official in the US I can do a full update through recovery somehow

Thanks for the reply. I figured that out after asking you. I've already updated Nougat using this method.
I do not use bluetooth very much myself. So it not working is not much of an issue for me.
However, if you find a way to roll back please share for those of us that have made the jump.
Thank you.

[q] *how to update rooted note 5 from mm to nougat?*

Peace All...
I am currently on Minotauras ROM (MM) and would like to update my Note 5 920G to the latest Nougat firmware---so I can download a Nougat custom ROM (i know one is not dependent on the other, but I was always taught that if the base changes, its best to update the firmware to avoid any potential problems). However, I'm unclear as to what steps should be taken to update the firmware--I'm relatively new to SamSung devices. I know Odin is the update utility, but unclear whether I should first flash a "stock" Marshmallow Recovery and stock ROM--then take OTA...or can I just flash the Nougat firmware and then flash TWRP? What happens to my data & apps? Will all settings be erased?
Please advise.....

1)You are on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 right as i guess so? Then you have MM bootloader(But if you are on 5.0.1 lollipop bootloader then you need atleast upgrade you bootloader to 6.0.1, you can find MM bootloaders at Samsung galaxy note 5 android development thread anywhere mostly at Dr.ketan Rom N8 S8+ port/You can also find Nougat bootloaders there only)
2)Don't worry then if you want to upgrade to any custom nougat rom then you can simply download prefer one and install through TWRP as you installed Minotorus Rom(Assuming You are on Marshmallow Bootloader and Oem unlocking/Usb debugging options are enabled from Developers option)
3)Or if you want to update your stock firmware to official Nougat for updated model and bootloader after that want to try Custom nougat rom, then you can download official Stock 7.0 firmware for your device N920G and specific country if available from websites like sammobile.com or samsungupdates.com etc (I am unknown about your country afaik samsung released 7.0 for N920G for some specific countries atm, like for asian countries not for latin american countries)
4)Further Odin flashing guides you can find also here within forum only, if you have any query related to odin flashing you can ask me i will provide you Odin flashing guide also(Kindly don't forget to enable Oem unlocking and Usb debugging option from developers option before flashing anything using Odin or you may brick your device)
5)You can also flash official stock 6.0.1 and update through OTA to 7.0 but above mentioned method is easy to directly update to nougat(Only if official Stock 7.0 nougat firmware available for your device model no and country)
6)While updating to stock firmware using odin, all your user data stored on internal storage will be lost(If you directly flash custom nougat rom on minotorus rom then user data stored on internal storage will be there) so i will suggest you take backup of your current data
Peace!!
First off--THANK YOU DroidHackeR for your response. I was out of town so I coulnt respond sooner. But Yes...I'm on MM 6.01 and I would prefer to upgrade to the offical 7.0 firmware. My model number is 920G, which I think is an International model.I am in the Unite States and using Tmobile's bands. I looked on sammobile and saw that they did have the official firmware (but for Bangladesh, India--I didnt see anything that said International...and thats where I kinda got stuck, cause I dont know if that firmware would be compatible). With that being said--I guess my best option would be to flash an official stock 6.01 firmware and then take the update? I have OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled.
Could you please walk me through flashing via Odin? Like where would I find the stock 6.01 firmware? Sammobile as well? I know I will loose my data..I've backed up most of my files.
Thank you again for help!

Well you can always flash the MM firmware in odin then take the OTA but ive always just flashed the new firmware via odin just because it easy.
And flashing firmware via odin will not wipe your device unless you change your CSC.ive used odin literally 100s of time across numerous devices over the years and it never has wiped my device...common misconception for some reason.
But of course first you need to find the correct firmware for your device on sammobile.
Then once downloaded un zip it and load the tar in the AP slot in odin.
Occasionally a factory reset is needed for the device to boot and that will wipe your storage.
There are tons of tutorials on how to use odin...hit that search button, use Google or even hit you tube for videos (which are useful if your a total n00b since you can see how it runs so no surprises).
If you do it once after that it will seem so easy.

Well.. I searched YouTube video tutorials, GooGle searched and went to SamFirmware and downloaded a 6.01 stock firmware. However, the file I downloaded was for Bangladesh (I have a 920G model) and it failed when trying to flash it via Odin. So I downloaded another 6.01 firmware--this time for Brazil (as all tutorials have stated that as long as the model number is the same its ok to flash). At first the green loading bar was working and it got all the way through to radio image and then it failed---but now my system has been wiped and now my phone is bricked. Do you or any other member know of a 920G 6.01 firmware that is compatible for the USA? It appears the radios are not compatible causing it to FAIL in flashing it in Odin.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

1)Did you try to put 4files firmware that comes with BL,AP,Modem,CL separately?
2)As You can get into download mode successfully kindly install samsung smartswitch on your phone>connect your device to pc while in download mode>open smartswitch>select emergency software recovery so that it will recognise your device as well as actual latest firmware for your device to be installed
3)If smartswitch doesn't help anymore, try with full firmware(4 files firmwate of any of Latin American countries as you stated for USA, may be the country's that lies near to you by region) but this time you need to uninstall smartswitch or Samsung kies in case installed as it could possibly mess up with Odin flashing

Thank you for ur response. This is my first SamSung phone---I came from HTC and was familiar with their process of rooting and updating (which was a pain)--but I'm totally unfamiliar with Odin.
When you say put the files in separately---i'm not sure what you mean, cause when I extract the Update zip, I only get a a tar file---should I unzip in a folder?
Thanks again!!!

Unfortunately you can't downgrade. Once you have flashed a higher bootloader version you are stuck with it.
If you are on bootloader v5 you may be able to downgrade to the last Oreo build, I am not 100% sure on that though.
Only if they are same bootloader

You need to be rooted to be able to get that working again, some roms also have that patched already...
Although the thread is about the s7 I believe it is exactly the same for our note 8.

I dont want to root again.... rooting will not let banking apps work.moreover if i wanted to root. Root files for note 8 pie are not available right now. I installed patched app but it does not have heart rate monitor and spo2 which renders heart rate sensor useless.... thats why i am so desperate for that app

As far as I am aware it is not possible without root.

You can flash TWRP, copy /system/build.prop to the PC or SD Card, edit it on the PC, put it back in /system.
Once you are done, just flash stock revovery via TWRP.
It sounds hard, but it's eazy if you know what you are doing. Banking apps will still work, and with build.prop edited s health will work too.
I am not gonna walk you trough the entire process but this is a summary.

Oooh that, it's nothin.
You just need to hold volume up + bixby and power just before the phone auto restarts from download mode. When you do that it will boot twrp.
If you don't understand it go watch MaxLee on youtube, his method of flashing twrp on s8/n8

So there is no other method except flashing twrp.... i think i have to wait for patched s health app or to leave that.... coz i really dont want to mess with stock firmware anymore....

The way I know it, there is no way without twrp or root, and you said you don't want root because of banking apps.
If you flash twrp, do the thing with build.prop, and then flash stock recovery, you could still recive OTA updates and banking apps will work.
You just have to set up s health before the next OTA because that will revert built.prop back to normal.
But as long as you set up s health before that it will be ok.

That was downloading s health 4.8 version install it and open it. It will stuck at loading screen. Update it and it will work fine. Earlier i get it working that way when my device has oreo version. But now after pie update when i try to install any s health apk before version 5 that is 4.5, 4.7 or 4.8. I always get a message app not installed. After version 5 app get installed but again with root problem. Can u help me with installing old version. I dont know why s health old version is not getting installed. I had some other apps that are now discontinued. That apps get installed easily

The reason you can't install the modded version is because the version that was modded is less than pre-installed version on the device. As of now, you can't downgrade apps, only upgrade. Your only option is to wait for someone to patch a later version from the version you got installed on your phone.
I think someone can even just change a number in AndroidManifest.xml install it and then just upgrade.
I'm sure a patched version will pop-up again somewhere on xda, just make sure it's later version than the version pre-installed into the system.

Which official firmware should I download for my Note 9?

Hi everyone,
I bought a Note 9 a few days ago and its rooted. It has got Android 9 One UI 1.0
I wanted to update the software but it has no software update option.
So I thought maybe I can download the latest software on it through odin.
It is N950F model. On settings, it has the following baseband version: N960FXXU2ZRLR
SE for Android status is showing the following: Enforcing SEPF_SM_N960F_P03_Dr.KetanROM
And bootloader is showing something like this: N960NKSU3CSG3
Now I'm really confused that which firmware should I download?
Can anyone help?
I would recommend that you download and install android 10 to your Note 9.

Use 'samsung phone info' in playstore. Check which csc the phone originally. Download that csc's firmware and flash.
By right any firmware should do but who knows.
Same
Hi!
Were you able to resolve this?
I am actually having the same problem. With all the scenario the same.
Bought a rooted Note 9
Firmware: N960FXXU2ZRLR
No "Software Update" option in the settings Menu
Android 9.

I believe for rooted devices, you need to install the OS update manually

once rooted you will lose knox protection, secure folder Samsung health and yes oem updates. even if you flash official again you may receive oem updates but some oem features may not function again. so u might have two options here. one is to re flash via odin the official firmware and use the phone without some features as i mentioned above! also now that our beloved note 9 got the final 2.1 major firmware update it is highly unlikely to get anymore upgrades such as oneui 2.5 but will continue to receive monthly security updates! then the second option is we have some great devs like dr.ketan, AlexisXDA, etc with highly customized roms and many workarounds to get features like S-health and secure folder working and they do keep upgrading the roms and we might even expect to get oneui 2.5 features from them which is excellent. i too am still on stock rom not even rooted but will start having fun flashing roms after my warranty expires for sure! cheers
P.S - use henklbr s frija to download official firmware easily and fast..... https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...icial-stock-fw-update-odin-thread-xx-t3825204
