How to get OTA updates?
A bit of a newbie question, but I have a G930A I bought on Amazon, and I've been using it on MetroPCS for a few months -- everything runs great. The only issue is I'm not getting any security patches -- I'm seeing the patch level as September 1, 2016. Can I install the T-Mobile version of the ROMs and will this enable OTA updates? If not, any suggestions? Thanks!
Current Device info:
Android version 6.0.1
Baseband version G930AUCS4API2
Kernel version 3.18.20-8575098
Build number MMB29M.G930AUCS4API2

The phone you have is from AT&T. If you can get your hands on an AT&T Sim card you can pop it in and update it. Otherwise you can plug it into your computer and update it using the Samsung smart switch program which can be downloaded from Samsung.com
Agreed best way at this point.
Thanks -- I ended up flashing my phone to G930U, and after that it is receiving OTA updates.
Did you do it through Samsung app?
I used Odin, instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-install-g930u-firmware-sm-g930a-t-t3609300
