Still wodering, have they released Nougat beta for the US / Unlocked s7 editions? I have seen theres updates for the G935F/FD 's (exynos) getting the nougat updates, but no sign of it on the G935U/T/A/S 's (snapdragon) ones. Have they released the nougat only for the exynos edition? or for snapdragon too? If theres no beta for the snapdragon, are dirictly going to release the final for them? Please clarify me anyone..
They have released for carrier versions, search the respective forums for update zips. But not for unlocked version.

I've got it on my US Sprint S7e. Go to the Samsung Apps and download the Samsung Galaxy Beta Program app. Once you do so, when you update you will get the option to install 7.0 in your System Updates.

Because internally there's only 2 different versions one with Exynos and one with Qcom Snapdragon. You see many variants because of stupid carrier bloatware.

Well I know that much, but normally Sammy would've but some sort of protection against this.
I'm on a Verizon s7 g930V running Samsung's stock firmware g930U and I've read that the phones bought through Samsung (so no carrier to go through) are getting Nougat OTA already.
I'm rooted, so it obviously gets mad if I try to check for an OTA, but should I unroot and check for a nougat OTA?
Do we know of anyone trying this successfully?
Does a Nougat Odin install package exist somewhere with "g930u" in the beginning of the filename?
Let me know if I should bother guinnea pigging on this one.
No need, I just checked and there's no update. Nothing online about it either. Seems only the international models are getting 7.0 at this time.
930/935 U is on quarterly updates. There will likely be no Nougat till April at the earliest.
so is there any possible way of running nougat on sm-g30u?
am i able to flash sm-g30f firmware on this to get nougat or is this not possible as they are different models?

The F model is the international version and it is not compatible with the US unlocked S7. You can however flash any US carrier version firmware on the the SM-G930U.
thanks, are they any known issues in smg930u like the ones i raised earlier?
seems very buggy in australia. Microphone is also recording muffled and louspeaker calls echo on my listeners end and no noise cancellation
getting frustrated with the device, network is bad, any possible way of flashing the baseband from a sm-g30F to a SM-G930U?
I need the network more reliable. Now i regret not checking the model number before buying the phone

EDIT: Neverfmind, figured it out.
Before I start, this is the first android phone I've ever owned so the question may or may not be stupid.
So I live in India and I saw the trade-in deal for the S8. I was in need of an upgrade (iPhone 6) so I went for it as I was heading to the U.S soon. I heard that the international version gets updates sooner than the unlocked U.S version. Can I just change my firmware to international, get earlier updates with no drawback? If yes then why have I not seen a lot on this?
Pretty sure the firmware is locked to the device unless you root. I had an unlocked international S6(920?F) . It updated a lot earlier than the W released in Canada.

If the device you get is G950F (international) then updates will come sooner. If you get any other version they are for specific regions, so if you get G950U (US unlocked) you can't flash international firmware to it. Can only flash firmware for the model you get.

Then what are the benefits of people switching carriers for example? There seem to be a bunch of threads giving a tutorial on how to change firmware to different carries e.g. From a T Mobile to Unlocked.

They tested it in Klespr... It's working. But with various issues such as no SIM card appearing, etc.
I have the snapdragon variant of the s8 and I regularly check for updates but the last update it got was from july 2018. I would like add that I live in the UK and it is an unlocked version of the S8. Is there a way to obatin the one ui update manualy as I cant get it through the US version of the samsung members app either?

You can download the latest at updato.com or sammobile.com and flash using the latest odin tool
Here u can find and download manually android pie for your model
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
But u can also use updato.com for faster download speed.
Be sure to use latest Odin 3.13.3
Edit: it seems @TheMadScientist was a bit faster then me
Would I still be able to have the unlocked version of the s8 or will flashing the update lock it to a specific sim career?

Depends if you download the U1 bit 5 firmware or the U firmware These devices are hardly locked to any carrier if it is sim unlocked Switching is so easy now
Thanks for the quick replys guys, I was thinking of flashing this firmware for the UK unlocked s8.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/BST/download/G950USQU5DSD3/268481/
Would I be able to flash different firmware afterwards if this one doesn't work out properly?
BTW I have attached a picture of my current software details: https://m.imgur.com/a/v7j79L4

Yes you can flash another. That's boost Mobile a cdma sprint subsidiary
If your carrier is a gsm it won't work more than likely but as long as you stay bit 5 you can flash any of them
Ohh I see I didn't know it was cdma, uk uses gsm only so a tmobile firmware would make more sense such as this one https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/TMB/download/G950USQU5DSD3/272406/
