Learn to Install Pre-rooted Galaxy S7 Edge Nougat Beta 3 ROM
Samsung has recently released the Nougat beta 3 update for Galaxy S7 Edge in the UK and it’s a bless. Many of you probably know of what I am talking about as long as the new update in cause brings improvements to the notification shade, grid layout for the toggles and also removed the unwanted (or let’s call it less popular) Edge feeds feature.
The update is rolling out via OTA, but the very same Pre-rooted Nougat build for Galaxy S7 Edge is also available thanks to XDA member geiti94. If you want to flash stock Android Nougat beta 3 on Galaxy S7 Edge, then be sure of the fact that this guide can help you.
The ROM is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and can be safely used on this device. To be more precise, the firmware is perfectly stable and will smoothly run all the processes and capabilities thus you have nothing to worry about – you will enjoy a secured Android Nougat experience right from your handset, but you must do your part too for that to be possible.
Make sure that you plug in the charger on your phone if the power left is lower than 60% and keep in mind that things could take the wrong turn in any moment (accidents still happen and skipping a step or mixing them has results), so that is why I usually recommend to back up your important data stored on the internal storage of your smartphone. Don’t forget to prepare your computer or laptop for the operation, the smartphone’s original USB cord and to enable the USB Debugging option or else you won’t even have the chance to start the procedure.
And I have to warn you that this time things are a little bit different since you will not use Odin for completing the update procedure; the Android Nougat Beta 3 ROM can be installed through TWRP recovery and this means that you must install a custom recovery image, preferable TWRP recovery, on your Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge if you want to complete this guide.
