Once the optimizing part is finished, you will be rebooted right back into the core Android OS with the brand new update installed.What to do if Android File Transfer not connecting: troubleshooting tips

Give it time and it will do what it needs to. This wait period will happen whether you accept the OTA update on the phone or if you manually update the Galaxy S7 like I did in the video.

When the device boots back up, you’ll have to wait through the Optimizing Apps section and this is what took so long when I applied the update. The installation is rather quick and when it is done, you will see the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge reboot again.

Smart Switch will start uploading the update to your smartphone and then it will start to install it. Once the update has finished downloading, you’ll notice your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge reboot into a special boot mode. Click this Update button and Smart Switch will begin downloading the update to your PC. It will tell you how big the update is and then you’ll see an Update button at the bottom of the box. If you have an update waiting for you, then you’ll see a pop-up box appear after you change the USB mode. As soon as you switch the USB mode to MTP, you’ll see Smart Switch go to the next phase. This is because we need to change the USB mode to Transferring Media Files(which is the MTP option). After you connect the device, nothing will happen though. With Smart Switch open, it will ask you to connect the Galaxy S7 to the PC with a USB cable. Once installed, it will drop a shortcut onto your desktop and you’ll want to launch the program to begin.

Installing this will install the USB drivers that you need in order to complete this process(thankfully). To start, you’ll need to download and install the Smart Switch software from Samsung. Scroll down on the Samsung Smart Switch page to find the download buttons. The process is easy though and you’ll be able to follow along with me in the video if you get stuck or come across anything that confuses you. If you have hundreds of applications installed then it could take much, much longer. I only have a handful of apps installed and the entire process to me about 30 to 45 minutes.
