Official Android 7.0 won't come until after they test the beta for a month or so...the update you got was a monthly security update PI3. Anything after the PH1 update (update prior to PI3), you won't be able to flash the beta (either via official method or using ODIN unofficially). It'll error. I would be shocked if official Android 7.0 would come before year's end, however, anything's possible I suppose...
Today, I just got a new firmware update that takes my Honor 7X US version from BND-L24567B140 to B150
Update says only: Google Stagefright: Google security patches are merged to make your device more secure.
Google security patch is updated to latest i.e. March 1.
I got this update even though I am in Mexico on Movistar local SIM and local provider. So it does not seem to depend on location.
I have another Honor 7X with T-Mobile SIM but it did not get the update yet. Still on B140. Maybe it is a staged update over several days.
Nothing really new. Still no news on Oreo update.

Whicheans Oreo would be rolled in 3-4 months
I got that update yesterday also on the L24. Nothing special which is very disappointing. Got excited for a couple seconds until I read the description
So I am still waiting for my nougat OTA update and was wondering how I could get it. The strange thing is that I got an update a few weeks ago which gave me the April security patch. But nougat and emui 5 is no where to be seen. Please send help

Hello dude,
i searched using FF for updates for your firmware and seems that aren't let you upgrade to emui 5...
So after a year since first upgrades to android 7 arrived, it's quite hard to believe that it will come in next times for you man...
Now you can wait and pray, or try to REBRAND changing your CUST ( C16 ) to another one, like C432 for europe or
C636 for asia and so on... you can find all files you need and serch for a OEMinfo.img+custom.bin closest to the place you live.
( example: i have VNS-L31C02B390 live in europe, will rebrand to C432 ).
Here on XDA you will find some guide / tools that will help you doing this, just use search and READ carefully...
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
Regards

If im not mistaken vns-l31c16 is the South African variant which mtn sells. I got mine through mtn and it seems like they aren't gonna push the nougat firmware out, instead they keep updating marshmallow with the latest security patches.
You best chance is to rebrand to European firmware (c432) and update to nougat

Maybe because the Sprint Oreo will be using BLv6 so its 2 numbers behind everyone else? lol ... anyone have any thoughts about what the BL-version could possibly be for the Sprint Oreo? ... could they or would they use a BLv4 like everyone else?
that was the Sprint answer

If anything, they would change it to v7. Maybe they are waiting for a merger, which could happen next week
I checked for update today and got 1627.64mb g930pvpu6cre7 Samsung experience 9.0 with oreo.
I haven't gotten an update from Sprint on my S7 since December 2016. I am still on some random Nougat beta version.
I thought a brand new firmware update to Oreo would reset whatever bug was in there causing this, but it looks like one person in my house got the Oreo update and mine is still saying I am up to date when I check manually.
Is there no longer an ODIN for macOS? I thought there was one, but I used it on another Mac maybe 4 years ago when I was on my S3 and rooting it. Doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Just received oreo on my s7 for boost. So far I'm not impressed. I was really hoping for Dolby on this but guess not. The build number is SMG930PVPU6CRE7

On Mac you can use Heimdall to flash the latest Nougat firmware then update through OTA to Oreo. Because there isn't any firmware file yet on Updato or Sammobile.
i manfully updated @ 4:15. they sent it @ 1627.64 mb. still downloading. when I got my att update I tried all the batch root methods for my 935a. saving magisk for last bc I didn't have the boot.img for the cre4 update.
I I only had the "att beta" update from March. long story short it won't boot with the nougat eng.boot. I gave it an hour. I cleared the cache, factory reset, tried to add flash all of the earlier img files I had for oreo, nothing worked. had to flash it back to nougat bra1. I immediately requested the update again. they approved. the next day I attempted to flash magisk 16.4. w/ the modified odin 3.1.3 version. it wouldn't flash. with the cre4 boot.tar in hand, I tried every method on gods green earth to gain some sort of r/w access. it was late, I was tired, I flashed the eng boot. once again it was stuck at the Samsung boot logo. it wouldn't allow me into recovery to push the cre4 update zip. once again I'm back to bra1 nougat. I booted into recovery & updated it from the sd card. when it booted I noticed it wasn't anywhere as clean & polished as the ota I had twice. I've flashed back to brd1 ten times, & requested the ota. after smart switch, I used all the avail windows software I could acquire & kept trying, they won't send it. but they did provide me with a new picture for my samsung account. I'll post it later. gotta check out this 930p oreo.

I don't think Heimdall works on High Sierra or even Sierra anymore.
I'm wanting to move to a SM-930U version of stock android on my 930P. But in struggling to do so for the past couple of weeks I finally figured out that sprint as updated the bootloader to version 5 and most of the firmware images for 930U are version 4 (android 7 nugut). (PU4 vs PU5) which results in a Odin fuse error.
The phone is currently nagging me to go from PU5BQL1 to BU6BRD2. If I understand the nameing convention that would move me to version 6 of the bootloader.
What are the odds I can move to oreo for 930U and avoid the bootloader fuse issue? I think I also understand that as of this posting date a 930U oreo firmware has not been released?

almost zero... asuming that Oreo for "U" Variants step up with BL on this month maybe next one, is something pausible but stepping up two versions in any short time is questionable... but who knows. The best you can do is wait this or the next month for BL update on U variants.
To be clear I'm still on version 5. I will continue to put off the upgrade to 6.
I can see LON-L29C432B371 (8.0.0.371) on the Firmware Finder app.
It's the June security patch.
It has been there for 9 days but still says not approved for device.
I only had to wait a few days for the May security patch LON-L29C432B370 to be approved.
Has anyone been able to install B371 yet?
How does the approval work? Do Huawei add devices gradually or does a firmware get approved for everyone at the same time?
Sorry for the questions but I've only had my Mate 9 Pro about 6 weeks. It's a LON-AL00 Chinese model but I successfully rebranded it to a LON-L29C432 European model.
I got the 371 update today and it is stable. Rooted with the kangvip installer and everything is fine and dandy.
