There is no official tmo version so we have to wait a lot before any mm custom rom

Can we flash the international official firmware on this phone via odin? I don't have root by the way and not planning on rooting.
I am late to join galaxy s7, just recently got one on eBay. UK Vodafone locked. I had it unlocked couple of days ago. Expecting it to receive nougat ota. But nothing has happened yet. When will I get that? I want to try out nougat then decide whether to root.
Removing the network lock won't have any affect on which firmware your phone has, only that you can now use it on any network & so as is you would be waiting for Vodafone to release a VOD version of Nougat.
AFAIK There is only a BTU/Samsung generic version of Nougat available in the UK on the S7 right now so if you wanted it sooner you could flash to BTU.

Thanks, Do I still need to root to flash the generic rom?
The update is available in India now! I have updated my S7 to Nougat VIA OTa

Root is never needed to flash ROMs

No, just need to flash the appropriate files with ODIN.

Just confirmed with someone from work that his unlocked (when bought) phone also hasn't got nougat ota update. Just wondering anyone here from uk who actually got the update?

Does flashing to a different rom, albeit a factory one, void warranty, trip knox or stop OTA updates? I recently bought a Galaxy S7 with Vodafone Spain (ATL) firmware (i don't live in Spain btw, I bought it from a store) and I'd like to flash the unlocked UK rom (BTU), so I can get Nougat, but i don't want to void my warranty.

Did they buy their phone from Carphone Warehouse? Only if so they're probably on XEU rather than BTU.

Im here waiting too. Unlocked UK and was on Beta updates. Feel like I've been forgot. Question is, can i flash the new BTU files without a wipe?

Yes, that is XEU. I read about the XEU firmware on a forum somewhere, he hasn't gotten the update yet. BTU is the unlocked UK firmware and the Nougat update for that is out.

Indeed that's XEU (as the previous poster said)
XEU & BTU seem to both be the same but they have different CSCs which would explain why you're not getting the update as it's not out for XEU yet.

Flashing a stock ROM eg from SamMobile won't trip Knox. Only customs ROMs & rooting do that. OTA updates should work fine if the right flashing procedure is followed.

Thanks a lot, I was getting frustrated because I don't want my firmware to have anything to do with any carrier. Do you happen to know if there is a chance that Samsung's service can see that the BTU CSC is not the phone's original CSC and decline a warranty claim?
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA Labs
When are we going to get it?! I'm from the UK with an unlocked S7 flat, bought from Carphone. And of course it's with XEU.

You could run into problems there if you needed to send the phone in for repair if the firmware is checked by the retailer or whoever they send their phones off for repair to. Personally would just flash it back to the original CSC before sending it off. Both CSCs would need to be on the same Android version though as from what I remember reading flashing an Android downgrade can brick your phone. I did read elsewhere someone managed to flash back to Marshmallow from Nougat as VoLTE wasn't working in Nougat as it turned out both were using the same boat loader but that's the only case like that I recall.
From experience Samsung's Smartswitch software doesn't look your phone up to establish which firmware it should have. It just goes on the current CSC if you were eg. to do an emergency firmware initialisation.

Oh, I see. If I flash back to my original CSC before handing it over, albeit both on the same version, is there a chance they might not notice? Thanks a lot btw.

Flash the firmware from on SamMobile it's probably better than upgrading via OTA as well.

update. i have successfully flash the nougat using the sammobile rom (btu). i followed this video step and step and it's very successful, it even keeps all the apps and data, just like an ota update would do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFV9WkZ9FfY&t=57s

But Verizon got it on the 1st. Y sprint so slow always
Each carrier is different...
What's the giant rush for?!? OP is asking for root, yet knowingly installed a beta which had no root, and knew there was no downgrade after install.
Seems that there is a giant rush because someone didn't read before installing.....
Everything I have seen shows Oreo is still on Version 2 bootloader same as the latest Nougat which is on V2 BL , (FW for oreo 2CRB9 - nougat 2BRB1) I know I can't flash back to V1 BL (earlier nougat 1AQH3) .. you should be able to take the latest nougat firmware flash in odin and go back. I have not tried but it seems other people have with no issues on other carriers with the 950U.

Yes it actually is if you use the rooting method PartCyborgRom because the BL file is V3 but the AP is Nougat. I am on Sprint as well. If you do choose to do this, factory reset BEFORE you flash the BL, AP, and BL again. If not the data most likely will not work.
Enjoy
To people who want to downgrade to nougat. I flashed this firmware. It passed. No more battery drain.

Can the Beta posted on the OnePlus forum be installed on the T-Mobile locked version? Also if it is able to be installed does the rollback method still work?

It's more to ensure that if you run into any issues or brick your device, having your phone and bootloader unlocked will give you a way to restore your phone..

Looks like it's time to try and convince T-Mobile to unlock it (I paid outright) so worth a shot. They unlocked my 6T same day.

Someone told me it's not possible to flash the OnePlus unlocked version on the T-Mobile version because the modem firmware is different. I know the 6T was able to be flashed to the unlocked firmware after it was SIM/Bootloader unlocked correct?

That's for a Pixel. The OnePlus betas are unstable and incomplete. Also no recovery mode built-in.
