samsung galaxy s7 firmware problem

[Android Central Question]

i bought a samsung galaxy s7 4 days ago but the phone had been rooted. I tried to do OTA upgrade but i was told the OS has been tampered with, same thing with samsung health. the model number says SM-G930F at the back of the phone and in the phone settings but when i checked the IMEI online i got G930F(SM-G930K) . when i boot into recovery mode i got 8.0.0 as the android version and G930SKSU2ERJ1 as the firmware but the phone runs Android 7.0 and the build number is NRD90M.G930FXXU1DQGM

what should i do to get the original firmware??

Use the model number from settings , can get the firmware from either sammobile or xda forums

I would recommend your country Sm-g930f to avoid issues

i just checked and there is no firmware for my country(Ghana) but there is United Arab Emirates written in the about device section

imei:357876/08/159100/5
S/N RF6XRZSO1CJ

and the model number and color written on the box are totally different
