Flashing nougat from G930F international to G930W8 Canadian Variant - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I know it is cross flashable since they are both Exynos. But my question is , could I do this with the new nougat update ?
I am not rooted , i don't have TWRP installed , and i don't have Knox tripped either. Is it possible to this without rooting and tripping Knox ? Or I'm better waiting for the official release. Aka next year when the S9 foldable phone is announced ?

Just wait it out, we'll get it maybe next month.

Brand New SM-g930fd .. Marshmallow can be rooted .. Can nougat yet?

I am about to buy a new S7 .. SM-G930FD ... and I think it should get an over the air upgrade to Nougat...?
Is this correct?
I am sure MM can be rooted ... can Nougat be rooted yet?
If it can be rooted could someone point me to the correct topic about hw to root Nougat on SM-g930FD
if it can not be rooted .. does anyone know about how long it takes before this is possible?
Thanks all

Nougat beta is only available for us/uk/singapore for ota afaik, however if you're rooted with twrp you should be able to install it now.
I am in Thailand ... I am pretty sure I will get the OTA. But, if not, I can root MM and load Nougat.
I think I want Nougat ... but I also don't want to lose root.
If I load the Beta Nougat from rooted MM ... I think I will probably lose root ...
I am kind of trying to decide which I would rather have Beta Nougat or rooted MM
Best would be rooted Nougat .. [emoji228]

Generic Samsung Galaxy firmware for s8+ - No updates??

Hey guys,
I have the unlocked sprint galaxy s8+ with the firmware/build number 955U1UEU1AQH3. I have a friend who has the same galaxy s8+ for At&t and it seems they have the 7.1.1 update. Also have a family member that has a note with 7.1.1 version on it and they have an unlocked verizon version. Why is the official unbranded samsung firmware not updated to any of the new software versions? Its confusing that there aren't any updates from 7.0 - 7.1.1. I am only seeming to get Android Security Patch Level updates, which is currently August 1, 2017.
Am I suppose to get the AT&T branded version OS in order to retrieve the latest real updates instead of patches? Is this a better option? If so, Id like to do so but keep my data without losing any of my apps and data, and also have a debloated version of the AT&T s8+ OS.
Please advise, thanks.
OP: Please move to Galaxy s8+ specific thread. Chose the wrong forum section

Downgrade oreo to nougat G955U

Hello, im fairly new to android and wanted to root my s8+ but it turns out that I'm running oreo which I believe isn't possible to root. Is there any method for me to down grade from version 8.0 back to 7.0 or will the root work fine on oreo? My phone is the g955u snapdragon model. Thanks for helping out!
If you find a working root for your phone on Oreo, please post the link here. I'm looking for one as well.
Can we root oreo?
