I recently brought a samsung 7 edge and while happy with the hardware notice it is still running android 6. I understand that the NZ version has been upgraded to 7.

There seems to be a huge number of roms out there and I really don't want to brick it.

Would anyone be able to give some step by step instructions on how to upgrade it?

Model number sm -g935f on 2 degrees. Phone says it is from United Arab Emirates

Go to: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model

Search your model (SM-G935F)

Filter by Region: New Zealand (NZC) will give you 2Degrees firmware.

Download & run the update tool.

This will bring your phone on the to 2Degrees firmware, Including any extra branding they include (if any)

Edit: you'll need to use odin (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/27-08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539) to flash the firmware :)

Any chance of a step by step guide on the use of Odin?

@papamoan There are 100's of step by step guides when doing a Google search to use Odin and it's very very simple to use, Check out www.sammobile.com then firmware section
