Hi!
I have an Indian Version of S7 Edge G935FD and I wish to flash the BTU version for the Nougat update.
I have a few queries first:
1. Can I use an Indian Sim (Or Any other country's Sim)on the rom? (The packaging has the Indian Sim Only label)
2. Will the network be smooth? I use 4G here. Are there any issues that I may face or any one of you faced?
3. Anything else I should know?
Thanks!

I have a few queries first:
1. Can I use an Indian Sim (Or Any other country's Sim)on the rom? (The packaging has the Indian Sim Only label) - Yes, you can use your normal SIM
2. Will the network be smooth? I use 4G here. Are there any issues that I may face or any one of you faced? - Yes, your network will work normally. You won't notice any difference. The only thing you won't have is VoLTE.
3. Anything else I should know? - Only do this if you want Nougat NOW. Otherwise wait until it's relased on your firmware. But you won't have any issues.
Thanks!

Thank You for the quick reply!
Yes. I am too excited for Nougat so I'm unable to control myself. The issue is there is no word on when the Nougat will come in India. The samsung officials have no comment except "There is no update about it yet" or "we do not have official timeline for nougat update in Indian market"
An official word on an estimated time frame for the update would work wonders. Is there any reason why I should wait?

One last question. The link given in another thread doesn't work or has download limit. Is this (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/BTU/) the correct site for official signed btu ?
and I am downloading odin and instructions from here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat-ota-update/
Lots of info in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/android-7-0-s7-edge-uk-beta-program-apk-t3493696
Or this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/nougat-coming-january-17th-t3535831
Downloading from samfirmware is slow for non-premium members. There are other download links in those threads.
And yes, those instructions for Odin/flashing are correct.

Yep, that's the one
Just unzip the download into a folder. There'll be 4 or 5 files. Just choose each one for the relevant section in Odin (you'll see it obvious) then flash it.

Finished the flashing process! Odin sort of showed a not responding title after I selected the ap file but I figured it was doing its job and waited patiently. It paid off! It finished loading and I started and flashed successfully. Boot up was fine and now I'm downloading a 1291.19 gb update!
Yay!

Yep, the AP file takes a short time in Odin to select as I think it just scans it first to check the md5 is correct.

Seems like they're on a roll. Build date 6th May.
Available via Kies, don't have an ODIN link yet.
Download link for ODIN: Megaupload or multiupload
Jesus Christ. Is there a change log somewhere?
Wow. It sucks that stuff was broken in the first place but you've got to give Samsung credit for staying on top of it and turning these releases around. I'm glad I won't have my phone until tomorrow. I'll be able to skip some of the gymnastics. I really hope this one nails the battery issues.
ODIN ODIN ODIN. I already froze Kies, and have no intention of unfreezing it, lol.
lol this is fun, well i will get use to using odin i guess so its a good thing, let us know when u have the link
Please
Uploading Odin version now (is no one will beat me to it)
Come again?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AM2P1S22
is that baseband or build number?
because my basband is kdj
and is this for unlocked uk versions?
Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/7OCBLBD7V9
Would anyone be kind enough to upload the new kernel on it's own or tell me how to extract it from the files so that I can re-flash after rooting

If you have XWKE1, you have the latest baseband. But this update will still give you a PDA update.
Kies only release them as a package, that's why you have to apply it all, even though you only need the PDA update.
Yes, it is unlocked UK version.
If you have Korean or O2 versions, please check your Kies for updates, do not use these files.

What country code are you on now? This German (DBT) suppose to be for unbranded phones, but people have problems flashing this. Keeps getting fail in Odin. I'm having this too and I'm standing back for the moment awaiting solution.
You can flash the Polish (XEO) NB3 and the file can be downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares

There is no returning to 4.3 once you have upgraded your bootloader to 4.4.2

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?
Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds

Thanks for remain, one thing I am still concerning that when I flash back to official stock, will I still get OTA? Since my Galaxy note4 is running on an official stock and still can receive OTA after I flashed many times of different ROMs.
So I found this on the XDA home page. It says SM-935A is required (I have SM-935U) BUT I thought that model number mostly applies to which carrier you're using...So if I flash the lates AT&T version via Odin can I then update to this Oreo build? Here's the article:

My question is that I'm afraid I'll have some trouble updating the odin. I did a while ago an update by odin on a note 3 and went wrong. A triangle appeared on the screen and had to be taken to technical assistance. I have all downloaded files here with the newest odin. but I do not know if I update or not.

if you are already on oreo, you can then use the update.zip files posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/discussion-oreo-final-t3746561 and just flash from SD Card using the stock recovery.
You dont need to deal with Odin then. I've done my first flash to OREO (CRAP) via odin with full wipe. Then flashed the incremental updates from SD card and nothing went wrong.
Hope this helps.
