Download Verizon Galaxy S7 (Edge) Nougat OTA update G930V/G935V [how to install]

Samsung Galaxy S7 was among the first devices to be updated to a newer Android 7.0 Nougat firmware build. The Verizon US carrier has been rolling out a similar Nougat OTA to the Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930V and the S7 Edge SM-G935V variants. The OAT updates from the official Beta program have been captured and available for download. The update procedure for the Verizon device is pretty simple. No root required. However, the device must be on the complete stock firmware.

Unlike the international variants of Samsung devices, the US carrier bound devices, mostly, do not come with a full firmware file. Even though they do come as Odin flashable stock firmware files, but they are too rare and outdated. Hence, the only way to update Verizon, AT&T, Sprint variants of Samsung is via OTA updates. The captured OTA zip are readily flashable via stock recovery.
