A3 2016 - How to downgrade? - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi, How can i downgrade from APDC firmware to APB7? Within Odin there's no way to do that beacuse it doesn't allow to replace or install firmware older than the one you have on your phone (unlocking OEM from developer menu doesn't work).
Now the only thing i was able to do is to install TWRP recovery and root the phone but i need to find a way to get back the best working APB7
thanks , bye

Download firmware linked by @XDADEVX .
I think you may need one of these, too.
Then open odin go to pit button and select the pit file and in AP select the firmware. You also need to check "Repartition" box in odin.
Now click start and wait .
Downgrading firmware is very dangerous, bla, bla, bla.
Before choosing read this

Samsung usually prevent downgrading via odin for a reason.
If the firmware has had a revision update then down grading can make bad things happen.

So? Which would be the way for downgrading this phone from MM to LP? I'm still on stock LP. But I'd like to try MM only if I'm sure I'll be able to go back. Usually, in most phones I've tried, is flashing the older ROM and then do a data wipe from recovery. I haven't tried with this A3 yet.

You've created a user just to ask this but didn't bother to come back and tell what happened or how did you fix it, if you did.
Please don't be selfish. Don't just ask. Help others too, leave an update.

Odin was interrupted at the bootloader update (sboot.bin). You need the "factory ROM" to flash it, however I am not aware if anything for 4.2.2 would be available for now.

Well it doesn't work, when I turn on the phone a black screen with a cellphone, a warning sign and a monitor appears and a text says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
With this screen I can only go into download mode but when I try recovery mode it just puts the screen black and back to the same text and pictures.
Another thing that worries me it's that I can't turn the phone off with the button, only if I pull the battery out.
This can be recovered I had same prblm some months ago bt I just flashed stock firmware nd it was fixed u may try flashing stock rom again

I've already tried with the rom "I9500UBUEMK1_I9500UUBEMK1_I9500UBUEMK1_HOME.tar.md5" (I believe it's stock rom) and get the odin error that appears in my first post...
Try some other firmware of you own region ......... 4.3 or 4.4 whichever u have for your region .......I think then u will nt get same error

Obviously not. simple flash of ROM is not sorting out the corrupted bootloader problem.

considering your situation, I doubt if it will work. you have to pick from two scenarios:
a) your download mode shows warranty void, knox void, custom: then you have to go to step 2 below.
b) your download mode shows all statuses samsung or official or 0x0 - then go to 1
1. Call samsung service center, they shall sort it out under the warranty.
2. More complicated, if you do not want to pay for repairs.
DELETED, procedure was for I9505 ONLY
you have to follow the procedure form this link instead.
Good luck.

You will need the PC with not faulty CPU, first.
Then, you have to use the PIT from here
Of course, you will need the Qualcomm drivers as well, from here or this one
Then, you have to follow the relatively simple procedure described here
That shall fix the corrupted bootloader, and I hope that you will not see the described there errors which would point to the hardware problem.
Good luck.

Warning!
He said he is in trouble with a I9500 device, so the Qualcomm drivers will not help....much.
Just an observation, you said you have no recovery right? So have you tried just flashing the tar of PhilZ recovery using Odin to get it back?
At least then you'll have a recovery again and can move forward with a custom ROM install

Dont try to flash any bootloader below COJ5 as downgrading isn't possible.
Did you do a factory reset when you flashed COJ5 ?

Thank you for your reply,
Yes, i did a factory rest after flashing COJ5
FYI, i also tried many roms which are based on COJ5 but no luck
The only rom i can flash now is CM13 from here

If you can boot cm while not stock I would suspect the kernel.
Make sure that the zipped custom rom you tried to flash by recovery has the stock kernel (boot.img) inside in some folder other than "system".And always wipe data/factory reset when coming from non stock.
If it still doesn't help then Im afraid I'll be out of solutions cause I haven't had any experience with locked bootloaders.

Yoy should install a cystom recovery to begin with. You can do it with Odin, install for example TWRP, just look for it at xda. Then you can install anything you want, and even root it.

meaning install custom rom with twrp ?
Yes. Read carefully how to install twrp. If you're not careful, the Note4 will boot to system recovery, not to twrp. You have a thread at xda about all this. Good lucj!

Please help me i tried rooting and now my phone won't work

I tried rooting my phone using Odin from this tutorial:
https:// theunlockr(dot)com/2016/02/04/root-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-plus/
It failed and now my phone reads "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and will not enter recovery mode.
I tried installing the proper firmware but when I try using that it fails and my phone then reads "SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 3 BINARY 2"

Okay so I tried it but since my phone doesn't turn on I cant put in the files from that link, I tried using oden and it failed again. On Odin it says Pass but my phone continues to say Kernel is Not seandroid enforcing, I've been at this for so long and I can't find a fix :'(
Where did you get your stock firmware from to flash with odin?
Is it a 3 file flash or a single large file which you place in the AP slot?
I find the 3 file ones are better as it contains the firmware, bootloader and correct files all for the same version/model.
Try sammobile, the download is slow if you don't have premium access to the download site.
You can also try the program kies or whatever the recovery program is these days, I remember with my note having exhausted all possibilities using it and it actually worked. It's slow but might bring your phone back to life.
Looks like the recovery program lies is now called smart switch...

Where did you get your stock firmware from to flash with odin?
Is it a 3 file flash or a single large file which you place in the AP slot?

It's a three file flash I believe, I've just been putting one huge file in the AP, I haven't heard of the three file thing, I've tried the Sammobile firmware stock too and it hasn't worked. It fails on Odin. Do you know anything else I could try?
You could try grabbing TWRP recovery and flashing that with odin. That could give you access to a recovery to wipe and factory wipe. You could grab a custom rom and use TWRP to install that.
If you could find the 3 file flash it might help because it will have the right bootloader/firmware/csc for your phone.
Just a quick thought... Have you tried running odin with administration rights in Windows? And is it the latest version of odin?

Sorry this is really late, apparently nothing worked, I took it to the uBreakiFix and they apparently had to install the firmware by it's build number which took like a week cause I had to go through every single build number. But thank you very much for your help

Samsung G935F (Soft Bricked & FRP Locked and Bootloader Locked)

Hello everyone,
I have a customer that managed to forget his account. He came to me to bypass the frp. He said he has the latest update of Nougat so I knew the only bypass I could posssibly use was probably the bluetooth headset one (if lucky). So I tried to revert the phone to an earlier Nougat version so I can use an easy bypass (hence I don't have any bluetooth headset). I've used Odin to flash one of the earliest Marshmallow versions for G935F (a vodafone, Uk one as the user said he bought the phone from there). Problem is Odin failed to flash the BL file and I've read somewhere on this forum a user said just uncheck that and I'll be fine. Well I've done that and the phone remained soft bricked (probably because the BL the phone still had was made for Nougat). Then I've downloaded a Nougat rom for the phone and the same problem (SW_RW verification for the BL file) so I bypassed the BL again and I've flashed the other files via Odin. All good, now the phone boots, installs the apps but it doesn't see the Sim anymore (I know that because the customer had a sim pin lock, wich the phone doesn't ask for anymore). Well, also the phone of course is still FRP locked but now I have two problems: It doesn't detect the Sim card anymore and it's still FRP locked. I am planning to flash the latest Oreo Rom as I am thinking that the bootloader will accept it and this way the phone will detect the sim again and at least I will be able to return it to my cutsomer in the same state as it was before.. but I am afraid I will not be able to bypass the FRP at all afterwards if I flash to the latest security patch. What should I do, is there any possiblity to fix both of my problems ? If yes can anyone here help me ?
EDIT:
First of all, the title is wrong - the phone ain't soft bricked anymore., it just doesn't detect the sim anymore and it's frp locked. And regarding to what I've wrote, I've also tried to flash like 3 Nougat versions for the G935F and same result everytime: BL check failed. Two of the roms were taken from threads from here, one of them had "untouched in its name" so I thought the bootloader will accept it but it didn't. Maybe the client thought he had Nougat on the phone when he had Oreo and maybe that's why the Bootloader won't accept to be flashed with any bootloader from Nougat roms. I must specify at least, I didn't try flashing the latest Nougat version yet. I can access download mode and recovery mode and I can turn on the phone but it won't let me pass the frp of course. I am waiting for some answers in here before trying to flash latest Nougat version and latest Oreo versionl.
Any help would be greatly apreciated, thank you very much!
Edit 2: Managed to flash the latest Nougat patch with succes (the Bootloader passed the verification, the Rom I flashed it's called: "G935FXXS2DRDI_Germany.zip".
Now the problem with the sim is solved, but I still have the FRP lock activated. If anyone knows how can I bypass it please help! Maybe I can dowgrade the phone somehow or anything else.
Edit 3: Planning to use a combination method shown in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=5v1oN4WFuqA
Edit 4: The combination ROM used in that tutorial won't get past the verification in Odin, wich results in a SW_RW flash fail. Trying a newer one from May, 2018 (COMBINATION_FA60_G935FXXU2ARA1).
Edit 5: This one failed as well..

EDIT 6: The second combination ROM actually worked! I forgot to switch to my other folder in odin so I thought it's not working. Now I am in the rom, on developer settings but I only see the usb debugging option. I can't see anything about OEM unlock. Could I directly flash the 6.0.1 Marshmallow now ? Hmm I will try exacly that!
Edit 7: Looks like the verification in Odin still fails if I try flashing the 6.0.1. I'm out of ideas.
EDIT 8: FInal Edit - I managed to unlock it by making an update and a downgrade from a specific x version to a specific y version. But.. I am afraid it is forbidden to give the exact details here so I guess that's it. SOLVED!
We don't allow discussion of FRP bypassing here because it could be used by thieves. The main purpose of FRP locks is to prevent that.
