Realised why I didn't get this update. I was already on this version. I did a full wipe and reload of my phone on Tuesday night and samfirm grabbed that rom for me from the Samsung servers. It was obviously already up on the server at least 5 days before being pushed out to users on Sunday.

By the way, after full wipe and install, all the Pay services still work 100%.
 
A new XFA update released 3 hours ago.

I think the latest update from Vodacom broke my fingerprint authentication in the FNB App :(

Bit of a necro, but has anyone else here found that their fingerprint authentication has stopped working for the FNB App? Mine stopped working in the last few days, <edit>It might have been 2 days ago when the last Android update came through from Vodacom </edit>. I looked for any settings that might have changed but can't find anything obvious.

edit: FNB App version 5.6.2 (67)

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7:

Tired numerous methods, I finally changed my s7 edge csc from VD2 to XFV without root. Now I can use Samsung pay and Wifi calling, but Volte is still not available. Is Volte working in Vodacom now?


For those maybe interest, the following are the way I have done:

1. Downloaded this Combination File https://filesrom.com/firmware-combination-g930-g935. I am on G935FXXU2, so I downloaded COMBINATION_FA60_G935FXXU2ARA1_CL7964511. If not, please choose the one corresponding to your current firmware.

2. Downloaded Odin 3.13.1

3. Downloaded this ROM:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XFV/
Latest version (2018-08-20)

4. Run Odin, download mode on phone and install firmware downloaded from SamMobile.

5. Restart phone, enter OS and do factory data reset.

6. Remove "hidden.img.lz4" from HOME_CSC (included in firmware) with 7Zip. It has to be repacked to a Tar file.

7. Go back to download mode, open odin and choose the combination file under AP and the recently modified version of Home_CSC under CSC. Only these two files.

8. Reboot and enter factory mode.

9. In Factory Ime input *#243203855#

10. Choose XFV as the new CSC and install, then reboot

11. Back to download mode and reinstall firmware, all four files, BL, AP, CP and normal CSC file (not Home CSC).

12. Boot up to XFV

Oh no, hopefully you're insured. Samsung or WeFix love it when this happens.
You can have a look at Aliexpress, maybe the screen prices have come down since I last looked (and cringed).

Nah no insurance. It's usable so I'll use it for another 6 months and get a new phone then
 
XFV update pushed out together at about 3am.

Just checking in again, what's the general feeling about Oreo on the S7? Been reading online and it seems it is not worth installing.

On a 2year old device Oreo is like a breath of life, unless you've properly cooked your battery. Loads of custom roms available, allowing aremoji and other newer Galaxy features to be used.
