A5 2016: Downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop

Hello
I have a A5 2016 on Marshmallow and i noticed that the autonomy is better on Lollipop and i'm actually on a russian rom (i'm in France) .
Does someone know how to downgrade ? Last time that I flashed a rom with Odin, I had a blue screen and I couldnt boot into Android (only download mode was available) (FRP mode)
I already downloaded the 5.1 rom xef with Samfirm, can someone help me ? I don't want to do a wrong manipulation, does it necessary to save the EFS partition ?

I've tried downgrading to Lollipop too and also got a blue screen and had to go back to 6.0.1 via SmartSwitch. If you find a way to downgrade, please let me know!

can anyone confirm if battery backup is better on lolypop?
are you sure you did a factory reset after the update?
i don't know if i should update, battery is pretty important to me

I did a factory reset and everything, and WiFi still sucks...
Battery life is great on Marshmallow, I have to say.

You flashed an old firmware that's why you are seeing that error.
Download THIS firmware, and flash in Odin. It's for Verizon but has no bloat.

If I flash the 7.0 with Odin will it wipe my phone? Do I have to back up everything and if so what do you recommend I use to do the back up?

You cannot downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop.
That's a fact.
I have already asked this question & have got the same reply.
Marshmallow bootloader prevents downgrade.
But, why would you want to downgrade.
There are many custom roms for A5 2016 based on MM, if you dont like the stock rom of MM.

if i put a custom rom, can i after flash original lollipop firmware?

You can give it a try but I am sure all the custom roms too are Marshmallow based, so you will have the same problem.
Any particular reason for sticking to LP, when there is already news that this device will get Nougat update too ?

I guess it would be possible to make a flashable zip with lollipop system/boot.

You're maybe talking about SM-G935D not SM-9350.
Btw it should work as even SM-G935F firmware works on SM-G935D.

OREO Update?

Hi everyone,
I've a situation, i've got a used Samsung S8 from the UK, and it's working so far perfectly with my carrier (Moroccan one), and i'm trying to update it (via settings) but it always says that there's no update yet, and i'm thinking about doing it manually with Odin, but i'm worried if i install the wrong ROM or something it might lock my phone and i can't use my sim anymore, so my questions are:
1/ How can i know if my phone is already fully unlocked.
2/If i install a rom manually should i go with the UK version or the moroccan one?
3/ in case i install the wrong rom with the good (PDA / CSC) but with a different region, what're the risks?
(Here bellow Firmware / Service provider screenshots)

Try connect your S8 to PC, and run Samsung Switch (on PC). It should say after some minutes, that there´s a newer version of firmware
