Rooted phone but eligible for Android 5.0 update? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I planned on backing up my device using Kies since I want to flash a custom rom. Kies said it support my device so it told me to download Smart Switch. I did that and it says there's an update available for Android 5.0.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I thought this was weird since I tried doing an OTA update and it gave me this message:
Should I continue with the update or just flash Omega rom?

Don't use Kies. You can manually upgrade if you want.
Download the firmware using this:

Then flash it using Odin.
Then you have Lollipop bootloader and modem.

[Q] [Help] Sideload build fingerprint is incorrect.

Sideload build fingerprint is incorrect. This is the message I get when I try and flash the OTA lollipop (Ando 5) zip via sideload in CWM.
I'm rooted and unlocked.
I'm running 4.4.4 as per phone and about, however when I try and flash the lolli OTA update it tells me that the version is 4.4.2.
I even tried flash in 4.4.4 OTA cleared the cache, but the issue persists.
Is there a way to edit the signature?
EDIT: Also to note that build.prop in the System folder is showing the right version.
ro.build.fingerprint=google/occam/mako:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys

No. I don't believe it will let you flash anything that is not meant for your device. And you run the risk of a hard brick.

Can someone please upload the Nougat update TAR file for Odin?

Have some issues with my device. Smart Switch wont allow me to to do initialization for some reason. Please help.
Doesn't appear that the G930PVPU4BQAA (Sprint S7 Nougat) firmware is fully available as a flashable Odin file at the moment, just as an OTA update.
Only option at the moment appears to be an Odin flash to APL6 then take the OTA Nougat update.
You can use SamFirm and check often to download the Odin flashable Nougat firmware, when it becomes available.
Here's what I got when I checked SamFirm just now-

Well device is still Prenormal. Did you allow usb debugging? You should still be able to use Odin if device is prenormal. What firmware are you on and what version are you trying to flash? Can only flash firmware with same bootloader or higher than what you are currently on.
Nevermind I see you are flashing U6CSK1. Was your device rooted? Says Custom
