Download Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 Android 7.0 Nougat Firmware

This seems to be a false alarm, or something is currently up with Samsung’s update servers, as the firmware that has gone online for the Indian J7 fails to install on the device. An over-the-air update isn’t available either, so we would suggest holding off from trying out this firmware. We’ll let you know once the update actually starts arriving.

Original story: The long-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat firmware for the Galaxy J7 (2016) is now available to download from our online database for manual flashing. There’s a caveat, though: it’ll only work with units registered in India.

That said, we expect to have the firmware for other regions listed on our database in the near future—so be sure to check our weekly Firmware Magazine to find out when it’s available for your handset.
