Are you still using an older version of Odin?
Try using v3.09, and flash the Firmware as AP.

I suggest download first the Russian Firmware and try flashing that. Otherwise your only hope would be to JTAg your phone.
You want to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 ?
Are you on the new bootloader?

why it is giving error "sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2" ???
If i understand you correctly you want to downgrade from android 4.4.2 to 4.3. That is not possible with odin. You have to flash a custom rom via recovery with a clean install

You flahed the stock ROM & bootloader along with it
Or just flahsed boot loader and modem ?
& are there any problems on this bootloader due to which you want to return back to kk?
Is it possible if so how to do it
Don't think so. I heard that the bootloader is different in PD8. Can't hurt to try though, right?
let me know if you can I would like to downgrade to PD7 so I can flash SM-G935U since it is also U2
---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------
You can try flashing the ENG BOOT then downgrading it to PD8
Yes its possible. Go to the firmware thread and download the pd8 firmware and extract it. Open Odin and put each file in it's respected place (file that starts with ap in the ap slot, CSC in the CSC slot etc) and then flash. After reboot you should be good to go. Warning though, make sure you have everything backed up somewhere else though because it will wipe your entire internal data.

Even on PD8 since it is V3 boot loader it will not allow since the error message states you are trying to downgrade the boot loader from V3 to V2. As anyone has tired to go to PD7?
the guy here is this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/yes-downgrade-apg1-to-apd8-t3450382/page2 said you can flash "downgrade APG1 to APD8!!!!!" he has not responded to any one yet. we want to see some proof. he also said
lincolnsxda said:
First, flash ENG boot in the AP. Then, go back immediately and flash the CSC CP and AP of the ROM of your choice. Simple, easy, DOWNGRADE COMPLETE!!!

if this is true I will try it. if it does work is there a v2 bootloader that we could flash to our phones that is unlocked and will work on t mobile even if its not for t mobile.

I doubt that one will work, but tp2215 on this thread said it can be done with only ODIN ??

I don't believe we can flash it on anything with a v3 bootloader.
We're out of luck until the SM-G935U's bootloader is updated.
Apparently T-Mobile is the only one pushing out the new bootloader. ATT & Verizon can still flash SM-G935U firmware.

Yeah - and if TMO kept it's "promise", it would have been unlocked....
I don't understand what the big deal is? I was on pd8 and did Odin (NOT OTA) to pg1. I then did Odin from pg1 to pd8. Why is everyone trying to figure out of it works? What's different about the bootloader because I even flashed the pg1 bootloader and then went back to pd8.

Hi, I want to downgrade back to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow by flashing it through Odin. But when it starts flashing, the box says FAIL. Any solution to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Before flashing the firmware you need to flash the marshmallow bootloader and modem for your device then you can successfully flash firmware.

AP I mean sorry. Look at all the boxes you ticked to flash on the right hand side. Only AP should be selected

I tried, and it downgraded to Marshmallow. But it doesn't downgrade the bootloader.
Have a Galaxy S8 G950U that has T-Mobile firmware with bootloader version 7. Can not seem to flash any other firmware with bootloader version 7 with Odin. It just fails with no error code. Tried several different versions of Odin to no avail... any suggestions?

Possibly wrong version of Odin. 3.13 it's needed.
Yes thank you...finally figured it out because of the g7 bootloader..

I was at bootloader v2 until I changed carrier to T-Mobile and they updated firmware to BL v7. Now I guess I am stuck here with no chance of root with custom FW. Not even safestrap has an update for BL v7...oh well not going to cry in my beer.

No not yet. I posted up the combo we need. For the boot img. But we still need the edl files.
Can you pass along the link to that thread....would appreciate it..by the way, is there a tutorial out there for learning to do the programming we need? I use to do commercial programming in COBOL, then some in visual basic. Might give it a whirl to try and help out where I can....
