Yeah, tried smart switch as well but nothing shows up
Checking Various websites they say Android N firmware for UK (SM-G935F) is available so why am i not getting it?

What csc is your phone? Look through here http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=g935f

GALAXY S7 edge SM-G935F 22.12.2016 6.0.1 United Kingdom (BTU) G935FXXU1BPLB

Is your phone rooted or knox tripped?
Anyway your nougat is here http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=04F18B16DDF711E69215FA163EE8F90B

No its not rooted or Knox tripped
Many thanks for the link

I've read somewhere that samsung release it partially, so you must be out of luck, just wait or use odin and sammobile rom

If you are on beta like i was i had too revert back to mm on SmartSwitch to receive official nougat

Installing different firmware version on Galaxy S7 Edge

I currently own an Australian Optus carrier variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (OPS) and want to install an Australian unlocked variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (XSA) since unlocked variant has recieved 2 updates since its launch but carrier variant has received none..
1. So my question is will this trip my KNOX Warranty and will it disable my Samsung Pay app use?
2. Also, if I install another country's Galaxy S7 Edge firmware that has the same model number, will this trip my KNOX Warranty and disable Samsung Pay Use?
3. Which country (code) receives the fastest new updates for the device SM-G935F?
4. Lastly, can I install a Galaxy S7 Edge firmware with a different model number? I want to try South Korean variant firmware..
You can flash any official Samsung firmware, and it won't trip Knox.
Someone else asked this earlier today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/to-flash-generic-australian-rom-to-t3364559
Also, Samsung Pay isn't in Australia yet, and won't be for some time.
The Aussie carrier devices should get the latest update soon hopefully.

Thank you for your reply. Just one more question! I heard that if a phone is rooted, Samsung Pay app is not usable on that device afterwards so will it be the same for installing the other firmware? I know that Samsung Pay is not yet available in Australia but I would like to use it when it's launched.
Correct. Samsung Pay won't work on a rooted device.
Also, if you root, you will trip Knox. You can't use Samsung Pay on a Knox tripped device.
Even if you go back and flash stock firmware, this will not reverse Knox. This is permanent.
But if you just flash Samsung unbranded firmware over your Optus firmware, this is ok. Samsung Pay will still work.
Just to clear up something else, does your handset need to be unlocked before you can flash another official samsung firmware?

Flashing BTU Stock on a EE carrier S7 Edge?

Hi guys im thinking to get a S7 Edge in the UK and its on EE network but sim-unlocked.
If i flash the BTU UK firmware on it, will it trip the Knox counter? And affect my samsung warranty?
Im thinking to flash BTU as it has less bloatware and making it carrier free would mean i receive updates sooner also. Please let me know. Thanks

I flashed BTU on my EVR S7 and knox is still 0x0, however the EE firmware doesn't come with much bloatware, just the myEE app and Lookout.
You're right though, updates do come through a lot quicker on BTU then EVR

I also have an EVR SGS7 Edge and would like to debrand with BTU. Is this easy to do?
I bought a rooted S7 edge from eBay that was originally purchased from Samsung... When I first tried to return it to stock via odin and stock BTU the flash failed..... I think I got confused with csc and csc home (which I still don't understand as all my previous sammobile downloads never had csc home file )... So I eventually got it to flash but ended up somehow on VIR which I think is virgin.... Which has the slowest updates known to mankind.
I'd love a stock BTU phone but don't want to lose my existing setup or semi brick it again. It's the csc and csc home thing I don't get.

You should be able to flash BTU without issue. It also has WiFi calling built in now so you don't have to have EE firmware for it.
Won't trip knox so long as you are flashing stock firmware in Odin.
I believe csc wipes data whereas csc_home doesn't.

[Q] About Nougat 7.0 BTU /UK [Q]

Hello.
I Have Galaxy S7 edge SM-G935FD Indian Varient. I want to Install latest Nougat offical Build (G935fxxu1dptl) on Mine S7 edge but i want VoLTE access on My device also. So Can i install Uk build Firmware with Indian MM CSC among with Nougat Build ?? Can My Device Bricked or Tripped Knox by this?? Plz answer....
It's works good......BTU variant doesn't support for VOLTE
So you should wait for official...one
It's unlikely this will work as most carriers have VoLTE in their own branded firmware only. However, I am on EE in the UK and can still access VoLTE on Unbranded firmware.
The only thing you can do is flash the BTU firmware and see for yourself. Flashing the BTU firmware will not trip knox.

I installed UK build Firmware G935FXXU1DPTL with Indian MM CSC on my Indian Galaxy S7 edge SM-G935FD, everything went smooth, it even shows VoLte in task bar....but can't make any calls on VoLte..data works fine
IMS Framework Version 6.0
I belive this have to do with the framework change from MM IMS framework 5.0 to N IMS framework 6.0
now we have to wait for the carrier to update their XCAP and IMS CSC setting for us to have it working including the WI-FI calling.
Thank you for this information guys. I have bought a S7 edge unlocked a few days ago on amazon and it is an Italian version (tim)
I want an unbranded version (no carrier app, no update delay,..) So if I understand well, G935FXXU1DPLT is the way to go for that. Correct?
Also to flash it, do I need to ACTIVATE PIN in "Secure startup" I saw that here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065
But nowhere else when I read threads about flashing the nougat firmware. I want to do that this morning but I don't want to make a mistake.
So please let me know. Thank you in advance.

VoLTE no longer seems to be there in the latest version. But wifi calling is still there.

S7 Edge no updates since bought

Hi everyone , its been a while since I bought my S7 Edge in USA (24-05-2016) and I'm Currently living in Portugal , but i noticed that I never updated my phone , everytime i search for OTA updates It always says that the firmaware is updated , im currently on android 6.0.1 ,is it possible that because Its because of being in a different region ?
Phone Specs:
PDA: G935FXXU1BPLB
CSC: G935FUUB1BPL4

When i search for firmaware on sites like sammobile it only has 6.0.1
