[Addsome]

Hi guys,

I recently unlocked my Bell locked S7 edge model number G935W8 and wanted to know if I could flash the G935F Nougat update onto my phone? Will it trip knox?

If you were able to flash, you would be safe regarding KNOX. Official ROMs do not trip KNOX. You won't have to worry about this however either way, since you cannot flash G935F FW to the G935W8. You will unfortunately have to wait, like I do, until one of the Canadian carriers releases Nougat, likely after the S8 release.

F firmware flashing has worked in the past on W8 devices. Why does it not work this time around?

Not sure. Odin doesn't allow it. Security check fails.
