Using frimware for different model.

[PatrikX5]

I have Galaxy A5 2015(A500FU) and I really want abdroid 7.0, I tried unoffical verzion, but it had a lot of problems (mobile networks didn't work, auto rotation didn't work). I think that 7.0 isn't coming on 2015 verzions so I want to download frimware for a5 2016, would this work?

Not likely. The build for each model only contains the hardware drivers to support the chipset/SoC used in that specific phone and nothing more. Your phone won't run using the drivers from the 2016 model.

Nougat isn't worth the hassle anyway :-(
