    • No you can’t…only way to update without pc is to update via software update option from your phone (if update is available)

  1. what happen if i tr to flash the Russian Firmware on my J7 sm-j700H of central America Free of any company

    • You can’t get the signal or worst you end up by brick your device…every region has different firmware, modem, and baseband. So don’t try it on your device and wait some more time it will soon available on other countries also.

        Then what’s the use of posting this if only Russian users can make use of the update file? I mean, Russians already have it available via OTA. They’re already running the Marshmallow OS!

    • It’s not available for Indian Version for now..but I will post it as soon as its available.

    • It’s been released. Yesterday only I Updated my Samsung J7 to Marshmallow. It’s working fine since yesterday. Lols ;)
      And anyone can Update on mobile via WiFi or 4G, although Samsung won’t recommend to Update ourself.
