Please read through my steps again.

Any upgrade firmware via OTA won't lost any data but always backup first before installing it.

You can even get Nougat OTA from B321.
You don't need to downgrade to B211
Since My phone is already in Nougat Beta program. I will always received Nougat OTA. So I purposely debrand my phone to C432 region and try it. To answer your question. Yes I've tried it and it worked.

Downloaded firmware twice, followed the steps, MD5 verified, Update App transferred to Upload folder, but still failed.

I also tried using USB thumbdrive - fail, fail, fail. 3 times knocked out.

Very frustrating.Attached Image
