500mb for just a security patch? Don't think so. Tmo just didn't bother to tell us the details of everything included in the update

Because 99.9% of the time when something bad happens to devices are user error. I did flash so many times so many things to my phones and never had any problem. Also I know this files are good because so many users flash them. So if you flash this and your phone do not start in example, this mean you did something wrong and I'm not responsible for what you did.

Updated: Get your milk ready for official Oreo release (later)

4/23/2018 Update:
Seems Big Red made a big snafu in their announcement on their update page about the latest OTA being an Oreo update. Whoops!
http://www.androidguys.com/2018/04/2...alaxy-s7-oreo/
Also, they have fixed their software update page and removed all references to Oreo from the latest OTA:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-update/
It looks like we'll be seeing it before the end of May possibly:
https://androidcommunity.com/samsun...0-oreo-update-coming-in-a-few-weeks-20180424/
=========================================
Per Android Community, the finishing touches are being done on Oreo for the S7 family which includes those of us on Verizon's version of the phone as well as unlocked phones.
No firm date has been set yet, but it could be any day now.
https://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-to-receive-android-8-0-oreo-update-20180418/
Per SamMobile, the US variants have been certified with Oreo.
https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-s7-oreo-update-inches-closer
For many, this may not be a big deal, especially if you root and flash. But for those of us that have no need to root and flash custom ROMs, this is big news. But sadly, it probably also marks the last official upgrade for the S7s. We'll probably get one more year of security updates and then we're on our own at that point.
FYI: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-update,
the update hasn't been release just yet

Yes, there has been some misunderstanding at Verizon. The changelog for the BRC3 says Oreo and lists all the features but it's actually still Nougat OS. Can you share the screenshot from your device of the software info screen showing the Android OS and build no. both?

did they push the wrong update? or publish the wrong change log?
i think it was a fix for the update we had earlier this month , it was sucking my battery.

I definitely had an update applied in last two days at least that is BRC3 so looks like wrong changelog. Verizon support is clueless but is forwarding it to their IT team supposedly..
Edit: Also they mention April 1st security patch in Oreo/BRC3 changelog, I do have that as well but I think those can be pushed without OS update. None of the Oreo features are anywhere to be found though and still 7.0 according to about this phone.
or maybe its a multi-stage update.
an update to prepare for the update.

If you're not on Verizon's network, you own't receive the update. You'll have to wait for someone to upload the Verizon image and then ODIN it.

Downgrade Security version

Guys, currently I'm on October 1st, 2018 Security Patch. I have the system image of April 1st, 2018 for flashing through fastboot, both android 8.0.0.
If I flash it, will my phone get stuck in bootloop or will it work?
My last phone got hardbricked because I unintentionally flashed android 6 Marshmallow after updating to Nougat, so now I'm afraid of hardbricking my new smartphone just because of the security patch.
Please someone give me an advise. (If there would be a link for a system image of october 2018 I'd appreciate haha)
My device was on Oct security before I unlocked it, I am now on the stock April patch firmware with no issues. However, I wish to relock my bootloader now and this is not possible because there is no later firmware than April available. When trying to lock, it fails with security downgrade.

Should be fine, I am on OPSS27.76-12-25 which is April. The October patch was on my device before unlocked.
Although there is an extra S in this one. Mine is OPS27.
Could you show where the junior shared the link?.

Sorry, he didn't share on the forum yet, however it's in his afh. He took from the last link I shared here.
If you pay attention to the image below, which is my smartphone settings, the version has 2 "S", and it's the stock one. I've never unlocked this phone. So it's okay, the october patch has the second S.

I see, so the other S could be something with the new security patch. Unless we have different Z2p. Mine is UK one, but I am sure I read somewhere that there is only one line of firmware for this device, unlike my G5 plus before this that had several versions of the G5 plus.
Yours is Brazil retail mine is Vodafone UK which is a different software Chanel. But the device is same I am sure.
