hello,
so i've been doing some readings and i know the hardware isn't the same so i know technically its impossible
but!
but what i also know is that i bought this second hand galaxy s7 that had android 6.0 using g930f rom, i tried to upgrade it to 7.0 automatically but it didn't detect and update. so i decided to flash a 7.0 rom manually. to my surprise in the download mode it said it was a 930p model and now i am stuck with a sprint version with no hotspot or lte.
so as i don't know if it was a custom rom or something but it used to have a g930f rom in it
What firmware did you flash? You may be able to put the u firmware on that may solve your problem
tried going to the U version but the binary thing is still behind the P version so i need to wait for the U to be updated (or thats what i read)
but that is not my concern here, i want to know how i had an F version while its technically impossible,

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to go from the P Sprint firmware to U firmware. I want to be able to root my device on QL1. The guide on the forum is for U firmware, but I attempted with my stock Sprint firmware and the only thing I couldn't get to work was mobile data, as APN settings are not adjustable on stock firmware. Is there a way to flash U firmware if I am on stock P?
Thanks,
csmyka

It is possible if your bootloader version is lower than 5, firmware for unlocked version have latest bootloader revision 4. Sprint updates bootloader just to remove this possibility of crossflashing. You are on QL1 version so is not possible at the moment

I have upgraded to RA1 since I posted. Does this still make it impossible?

RA1 is still on 4. If you look at past firmware info, this should be sorted out when Oreo drops.
Before I send it to Samsung to repaired my S8+, the phone has the unlock version g955u1, but when I got it back, it is g955u with tmobile on it. Is it possible to change it back ? I have android 8.0 right now with January 2018 security patch. Most of the firmware I found are 7.0. I am new to android I might need some extra help here.
I believe you should be able to flash Nougut fw with odin (not 100% sure but should be able to) . Just make sure that the bootloader versions are the same.
Nevermind, I miss understood your question. You'll have to wait until the oreo fw is released before you can change from u to u1 or vise versa
I try with Odin but it is not...please.
Try to download latest 6.0 frimware but I think bootloader is locked and it's impossible.
Have you tried with ticking bootloader option i Odin ?

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,

Correct.
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.

Hello guys! I would like to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to a version where I have the outdated security patch, preferably in the May 2018 version for me to play Pokémon Go. However, I downloaded a ROM of that date but when it was installed, the security patch remained the same, February 2019. I am downloading another ROM, but with the android version 7.0, but if anyone can help me in knowing what the problem is, thank you!

I finally got it, i root it and i try to install hungarian firmware, baceuse i cant unlock it -w-
I want to downgrade my sprint s7 edge (it has oreo 8.0.0 G935PVPUACSJ3) for root and network unlock.
There is no way to downgrade as i read, but what about rooting?
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

What about going back to 8.0 through TRWP? Impossible?
I've found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/s8-downgrade-version-9-t3922577 and I've downloaded G955USQU5CSA4_G955UOYN5CSA4_CCT.zip

G955USQU5CSA4_G955UOYN5CSA4_LRA.zip
G955USQU5CRK1_G955UOYN5CRK1_TMB.zip , however when I try to install s8+ firmware through Odin it keeps showing FAIL. Damn.. No other way to go back to 8.0 than new phone?

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?
Sorry can't help you with that much, it seems u did all correct steps for rooting the phone. dunno why u get only official binary message.

Post your issue here, maybe someone here can help you more
