Has anyone got the 7.x update in the UK for their s7? I still don't
Version info. I'm still a noob to samsung
There's a couple of threads talking about this. You have to manually flash BTU firmware using odin then it'll let you update it to nougat in system update OTA.
Download the UK BTU firmware from sammobile.

Hi...as the title says: Is it possible?
So to flash BTU and after it the CSC for my provider (it's from a MM Firmware)?
Tried the search function but couldn't find a statement.
it works, mine has xeu csc and I have flashed btu without a problem
Yeah...I'm also on BTU now. But I wanted to know if I could flash a 6.0.1 CSC now without problems.
yes, tested by me, downgrade is safe because bootloader binary is the same
Thanks!
@Pet1981 hey there? did you try to flash the marshmallow CSC? I'm thinking of doing so since Samsung Pay has been rolled out in my home country but I'm currently in Switzerland, using the BTU nougat update
Yep! Works without problems
Tried the MM csc for T-Mobile Germany (DTM) in Renovate 7.1.0 (Nougat) and it doesn't work properly, needed to switch back to the german unbranded csc (DBT)
Hi all, I've had a look and can't seem to find anything on the forums, but if you can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated!
I've been flashing for years but never really been in this situation, as this is the first phone I've not rooted.
So here it is:
I've a completely stock, never-rooted S7 Edge on the XEU CSC.
I'm not getting the latest update and I'd like to have it, I'm stuck on Beta 5 (I was a part of the Beta Program).
I'd like to flash the latest availiable 7.0 firmware in ODIN.
My question is:
Would I still get OTA updates AFTER I've flashed the firmware in ODIN considering my phone is COMPLETELY STOCK and has NEVER been rooted?
Thank you very much!
P.S Sorry again if I've missed something in the forums, I tried searching and couldn't find an answer.
Thank you!
Stock roms get OTA updates. Only rooting breaks that.
Yes you would continue to get OTA when flashing update via Odin.

You will get OTA updates on the XEU timeline. Your CSC is XEU and it will stay XEU if you flash Official Nougat. Hence, if BTU then get updated in the future, you will have to wait until it is released for XEU

So as long as I update to an XEU firmware I'd still get the updates? But not if I update to a BTU one?
Just clarifying.
Also, thank you for the speedy reply!
Hello,
I have a brand new S7 Edge, non-rooted. I would like to have the official Nougat, but the update by OTA ist still not available for my device. I would try it with Odin, but where can I get the official firmware (german, non-branding device (DBT?))?
Thanks for your help

So you must wait until it´s released.......or you can flash via odin the BTU(OXA) Nougat or the (german)Vodafone VD2.(if you flash the BTU(OXA_MultiCSC), you will get the active DBT CSC)(but flash the normal CSC not Home_CSC)

When you flash official Nougat, you are flashing OXA CSC. This CSC is a "multi" CSC which contains multiple CSC. This OXA CSC actually contains BTU, XEU, NEE, DBT and a few more.
If you flash a multi CSC and you are already on one of the contained CSC (So in your case, you are on XEU CSC and flashing a "multi" CSC that also contains XEU) then your CSC will not change, your phone will see that you are coming from XEU CSC and so it will pick that CSC when you flash the multi CSC.
You won't actually have BTU CSC, which means you will only receive updates when XEU CSC receives them. BTU normally receives updates before XEU so most people like to change to BTU. It isn't a must though.
So to clarify, if you flash official Nougat, you will get OTA updates when XEU CSC users receive it. If you want to CHANGE your CSC to BTU then that involves multiple flashes.

Hey,
My phone was on the XEU csc code and not getting the nougat update either. I am not rooted either. I wanted to update to nougat. So I went to sammobile and downloaded the BTU firmware. I downloaded the newest lollipop version so as to make it update to nougat ota. When flashing I read some where that to keep ota functionality not to flash csc home in odin but just the normal csc file that is inter zip folder along with the other files. Once flashed and phone had been setup, I went to settings and about phone and checked for updates, my phone then proceeded to update to nougat sucesfully.

Your welcome, just to let you know, I should of said this will completely wipe your device so do a backup of your photos and things on your phone memory and just take your sd card out to be safe.

I've applied the late January 2017 BTU update via Odin and used the regular CSC file (not home CSC) which wiped everything out and all is working well - but I would have expected the latest BTU update to have been applied OTA and it hasn't shown as available. My CSC is still showing up as XEU on the phone too which I guess is the cause for this? Did I do something wrong when applying the BTU update?

So I have the XEU and I'm prepared to flash twice in order to change the CSC. Which firmware should I first flash in order to keep the BTU CSC when I flash that secondly?

You flash anything that is not a part of the OXA CSC
After that, if you flash OXA you will be BTU
