You are already on latest nugat 7. If you want Oreo just download Oreo for UAE and flash it via Odin.

You can use sammobile or updato site to download firmware (updato is much faster).
You can also use samfirm PC tool to download firmware even faster and is recommended.
U can pick any region like DBT (Germany) , BTU (Uk) ect.
Did u rooted your device perhaps?
I didnt rooted but I had flashed a zip file which was the android 9 and from then I don't get updates.

SM-G950F Downgrade Bootloader U5 to U1 (9 pie to 7 Nougat stock)

Hi to all, i have S8 G950F, updated with odin with G950FXXU5DSFB_G950FOXM5DSFB_ITV (U5 bootloader).
So i must return to Nougat ( 7.0) : G950FXXU1AQK7_G950FOXM1AQK7_ITV U1 bootloader

Some people say downgrading bootloader can be possible through combination file ect but if u never use that file then don't, u can do more harm then good.
Otherwise no bootloader can't be downgraded and your stuck with pie
Search Search Search! Don't be stupid, Samsung bootloader nowaday cannot be downgrade (e.g from U5->U4)...the security check will not pass nor flashing is not possible!

Can we flash a month old firmware in ODIN?

Hi,
So first I'll give the background of what I've done & then ask the question. I was on a custom ROM on my S7 Flat which was Pie based and I had updated the BL files prior to that via TWRP. Now I am from India so I wanted to go to stock firmware via ODIN and I had some old firmware which I tried flashing & got an error. I came to know that I can't flash older firmware as I flashed the July BL files. So I went to Singapore country stock firmware via ODIN as that had the June security patch which went successful. Now I want to go to Indian firmware but the latest one that's available is May over the web.
My question is being on a June security patch of Singapore firmware can I flash the May Indian firmware via ODIN? Will this cause any issue?
Please admin delete this thread.
The basic knowledge is Samsung's Flashing depends upon binary if you have same binary Firmware as your phone or higher than your phone you can flash any regional Firmware.

S8 SM-g950F android 9.0 crdroid failed to reinstall official firmware 8.0

Hello I installed android 9.0 crdroid on my s8 SM G950f but when I tried to install the official firmware of it 8.0 I kept getting that error and the phone doesn't have any system so I can't boot.
On the downloading screen of the phone I get this error : SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BootLoader) Device 12. Binary 3
I understood that downgrading to an official firmware isn't possible.
Maybe you can downgrade cdroid to android 8 and then go back to official Android 8 firmware. This was suggested with the hades rom somewhere in their thread if I remember correctly.
