Vibrate problem after downgrade - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I downgraded to marshmallow from nougat and vibrate broke. Motor beeps (yes, motor, not speaker) when it tries to vibrate. Can this be really software issue? I Flashed stock firmware again with Odin and smart switch.
It seems hardware problem, but strange that it appeared just when I downgraded...

Can't be a hardware problem as I have the exact same problem. I too was running the beta program Nougat and decided to leave. Flashed a BTU rom and now I too have lost vibrate. Just a faint beep coming from the earpiece when I go into vibrate mode. Anyone any ideas on what to do ?

Have you tried nougat again?

Like I said in previous post I had installed the Nougat rom via Odin.. I then plugged the phone into my PC and started the Smart Switch app.. It told me there was a newer version of the OS available (which is actually the current Marshmallow version), and I let it install it, and vibrating still works.. So maybe you could try that.. Seemed to work for me anyway.

Thanks! Worked!

If you downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0 you need to downgrade your BL and CP too not just the rom. Hope it helps.?

Temporarily upgrade to Android 7 to fix the vibration issue then use odin to flash final version of android 6.0.1. You must flash all 4 files contained in the extracted (unzipped) firmware package but ignore the home_CSC file. IMPORTANT...tick the option in odin "phone bootloader update". This process will wipe all data on the phone but will give you a fully functioning galaxy s7 with Android 6.0.1 marshmallow!

For me, upgrading back to Nougat didn't fix it. Did you upgrade to Nougat using Odin and the "phone bootloader update" or did you just use the official install method?

dowgrade to Marshmallow today , everythig is working fine except the camera "camera failed" error .. tried all solutions given on internet .. any fix ?

Same Camera not working. PLease help

Hi, I tried to downgrade from android 7 to 6, but after i extract the firmware, it has 8 files, which most of them look like a cd pictures. Not the file that we expected like BL, CP, etc. None of them like those 4 files that they should be. So I can not continue to use odin, because the extractted files is totally different. Any idea what happen?.
Thanks

No vibration s7 edge after downgrade
Hello i downgraded s7 edge from nougat helios custom rom to marashmallow decent ultralite 5.0 custom . Now my vibrator is not working. I tried flash bootloader via odin it says fail . Please help

i found solution for no vibrator after downgrade nougat to marshmallow
i found solution for no vibrator after downgrade nougat to marshmallow
i found solution for no vibrator after downgrade nougat to marshmallow
S7 edge is not vibrating after downgrade nougat to marshmallow, it is because you are using nougat bootloader in Marshmallow, you just have to flash with odin the correct MARSHMALLOW bootloader and CP and the vibrator will work just fine.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=54002
6 december 2018, i extremely recomend use Decent ultralite 5.0 MARSHMALLOW ROM in samsung S7, it is very fast and stable, S7 is designed for marshmallow.

My vibrate problem is because I updated to oreo. Any solutions for this?

I believe i read somewhere on here that you can only flash the same bootloader version as 8.0 is version 2 so the only one you can downgrade to is one with bootloader version 2 and that is 7.0 i understand. Correct me if i am wrong though,

Find 7.0 Firmware that is at least March 2018 or newer (Binary 2 Rom) to downgrade from 8.0 Oreo

Just download the firmware for 6.0.1 and flash it in odin, I've done it several times and it works very nicely.
I'm surprised they would allow 6.0.1 firmware to flash what model is your phone sm-g935f and was it on 8.0?
BL code drops to 6.0 without code but network goes

Hello,
I downgraded to 6.0 but phone is now stuck in boot loop and i'm unable to access recovery mode.
I'm only able to access download mode.
Please how can i resolve this problem?
Hey guys, who knows do we have option like — flash fw with older bootloaders and then do isolated new bootloader flash to make older fw work?
Something like that, because i "heard" similar tricks in internet, like people are flashing modem and bootloader bins separately after downgrade flashing like from android 8 to 6. But didn't find proper instructions on that.
Is it possible? Is there instruction out there?
Yeah, oreo is better than nougat and yeah yeah new features, new updates blablabla. I just believe that every device is always better with its first software - we all saw and know how Apple does, i dont think that other companies dont do something like this...after masscopy of notches personally i dont have any doubts...why you think samsung "upgrades" this bootloader sh*t? It's the same thing like it was with iphone 4s - no downgrade option, and "upgraded" version of fw forcedly reduced the work of processor and other performances - you forced to BUY new one. Same politics in Samsung.
Well, for me marshmallow is better than all others in using S7 - it's faster and bugfree than nougat or oreo, yes it's oldy and even some basic performance features not exist, but still android 6 is the best for S7. I used custom roms but they are really buggy, badly buggy, definitely not a choice for everyday using. Oh i missed the days with nexus phones...not pixels.

AT&T CRD6 OREO on 930U and CANT revert back to BRA1, BQE1, BRD1 in Odin

Literally no matter what I do. I cannot flash ANYTHING in Odin to either revert back to 7.0 or stock 8.0. Its not flashing any version of 7 or 8 and its not flashing any U firmware or AT&T firmware.
What am I doing wrong. I flashed 8.0 with the intent to be able to revert back to stock 7.0 once official Oreo rolled out and I literally cant do anything in Odin. I've tried odin 3.13 and 3.12 prince version. HALP
update: flashed G930UUEU4BRD1 using odin 3.12 successfully. phew
As far as I know, the newest Oreo version of AT&T is CRE4, not BRD6 as you say

You may be speaking about where I said CRD6, that is a version of Oreo that doesn't have much difference than the latest version of Oreo CRE4. Most of them after release have been minor changes. I was not flashing back to BRA1 to constantly flash the newest update of Oreo. I have an unlocked s7 so I can flash any carrier but eventually when the official oreo firmware comes out for either tmobile or the unlocked 930 varient i will be switching back to OTA updates

The issue was probably that I needed to put home file in csc and exclude the csc file and then factory reset and clear caches. I probably ended up factory reset before Odin and didn't activate USB debug or the files I was using were corrupt. Since then I've just flashed TMobile Oreo that came out a few days ago and I'm gonna just use official ota for future updates

Super lag after unroot and bugs

Hi everyone,
I brought this phone from a phone store (not official), and it's second hand. The problems are common, LAG.
And sometimes, when i start phone data, my SIM signal suddenly stopped…
And I found that this phone had been rooted before and unroot for being selling.
I knew knox had broken.
It's common ROM same as others but it was LAAAAG.
[SM-G935FD], my phone model.
[Android 6.0], my android .
I've tried to reformat and recovery mode wiped before. And it's useless.
Any suggestions everyone?

Update your phone dude it's on old android 6.0 .upgrade it to oreo 8.0 via Odin and that should fix your issue ,even tho it shouldn't lag like that on any android version.

Hi! Thanks for your reply!
But where should I get it? And does your "Oreo 8.0" belongs to official or Properties Oreo 8.0?

It's not my Oreo ,it's Samsung official firmware 8.0 Oreo . First learn how to flash something with Odin then download official firmware from sammobile or updato site. Put your phone model inside and start downloading

Wow! That's mean Oreo 8.0 are available for officially download?!
I'm clear on how to flashing ROM with Odin…but I'm not sure with how to get official ROM.

Problem with downgrading S8

Hello,
Recently I've updated my Galaxy S8 g950fd from Android 8.0 to 9.0, however i found it terrible and I would love to go back to 8.0. I've read many topics and all of them states that I have to downgrade it through the Odin. I've downloaded a few softs from websites:
SM-G950F_1_20181227130827_c3nriwjmas_fac
G950FXXS4CRLB
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU3CRGH_CL14023573_QB19093103
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU1AQG5_G950FOXM1AQG5_ZTO_4file
And non of them works. Odin keep showing FAIL message, phone stuck on bootloop and the only software I can use is 9.0 ( G950FXXS5DSF1_OXM5DSF1_(SM-G950FD))
At this moment I'm downloading 2 firmwares from sammobile.com website: XSG-G950FXXU4CRL3-20181218135110 and XSG-G950FXXS4CRLB-20190128142840 and I hope they will resolve the issue I'm facing.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to downgrade my phone?
Thanks a lot for replies!
Your bootloader version is v5 and all other firmware including previous pie and all Oreo firmware are at v4 . If u installed June or July update on your phone then u can't go back anymore and thus Odin keep faling for your

I've found Lineage 15.1 OS with bootloader v5 on android 8.0 however I am struggling now with installing TWRP. Keep getting FAIL in ODIN and note in phone: Only official relased binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY). I've tried to reset cache, perform factory data, OEM is enabled and usb debugging as well. I don't know what's going on to be honest and after reviewing thousands of posts - I can't fix that issue.. My current software on my g950fd is G950FXXU5DSFB Android 9.0.
Is here anyone who can advice me what should I do? I would really appreciate that. Thanks!
Anyone?

How can I downgrade from Pie to Oreo [J530f]

My device is Samsung Galaxy j5 2017 Pro Dual Sim.
Right now I am on pie,one ui. I would like to go back to oreo since performance was,at least for me,so much better and i had more control of camera beacuse the app was better. Problem is now that my bootloader is V6 but all of the oreo firmwares are on V5. Is there ANY way to go back or am I stuck.
Maybe combining files,flashing oreo without bootloader md5 selected in odin?
You will have to extract the Oreo stock firmware and flash bootloader and modem using Odin.
Not as straightforward as it sounds either.
If I get time after work (yes I'm one of the unlucky ones still working in this mayhem) I'll have a look at it and try extract the files for you
Hi, my phone is a samsung galaxy J5 J530F 2017 dual sim. I updated my phone to ANDROID 9 (PIE) and I'm unhappy with the update. When I want to update back to Android 7 via odin, it ends with a FAIL error right at the beginning of the update. I managed to return to Android 7 with a backup I created via TWRP on Android 7, but the phone no longer runs smoothly and sometimes freezes. Is there any way I can get back to Android 7? I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Hey, I'm interested on this topic too, were you able to extract the files to do the downgrade?
