Updating bootloader and modem to the Oreo and then go back to the Nougat

Hello there!
I come here with really important question.
I use the Android Nougat as a daily driver but I'd like to update system to the Oreo. Will I be able to go back to the Nougat if I flashed the Oreo's bootloader and modem?
Thanks in advance for answers!

If u updated bootloader there is no way back

Can you explain how did you do that?

I'm confused for now. Can anybody tell a little more about this? Is it possible via TWRP? Or neither via TWRP nor Odin??

Bro, you can Unlock unofficially bootloader & flash TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
And you can update stock ROM while keeping Magisk & TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...to/rom-update-stock-firmware-keeping-t3808269
Both threads are tested and working on most of the device include mine.
Gud luck.

I made a small How-To after getting mine all set up, you can find it HERE. By now there's a newer TWRP out though, it's HERE.
Good luck :good:

Of course you don't HAVE to flash a custom rom - just skip flashing rom + gapps and do everything else up to that point.
You could patch the boot image with Magisk Manager manually and flash it with fastboot too, but TWRP is probably easier.

Sir,
i tried all possible ways it did not work, We really we need someone to help us with rooting Samsung A51

Let's see if they can help h**ps://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2272,
Please send logs to try to find the cause of the problem. Also asked in magisk discussion for solutions because this firmware has 2 different vbmeta imgs one vbmeta_samsung.img and another vbmeta.img.
Adb says it is treble enabled.

A working rooting method for the A51 would be greatly appreciated! I would be more than happy to donate 20 euro to the one who can help me out!

New A515F International unlock vesion just arrived. Waiting for development lol

Hey brat lol a tease is right. Awaiting the process.

Hi everyone, greetings... I'm listening, just bought the international version from indonesia.

So TWRP is coming soon. To root you need to wait for TWRP because there are 2 vbmetas
Vbmeta.img
Vbmeta_samsung.img
Vbmeta.img can be patched to allow magisk to work but Vbmeta_samsung.img cannot. To fix this you need to install a signed TWRP image with special keys. @geiti94 will sign his TWRP image to work with vbmeta_samsung.img
Hope this cleares all of your thoughts. Thank samsung for making this so complicated.

Hello,
Could you guess how long does it take?

Is there a tutorial for us to sign the recovery with custom keys that would work?
