Nougat update help

I have samsung s6 edge+ and my model number is SM-G9287C, i also rooted my phone and installed twrp on recovery bootloader (not sure if im quite right but certainly i change my recovery bootloader to install xposed application which needs to have twrp) i also installed the framware of xposed application to get modules etc etc.
My point is that, the software update prevents me from updating and says: "The operating system on your device in an unauthorized way etc etc" i wanted to update my phone also get all the apps that i installed recently.
I would appreciate if someone will share links for me thanks ?

Error is caused by flashing ROMs with an earlier bootloader version number. ie ver 2 to 1 which can"t be down graded. On the firmware file name the 5th number from the right is the bootloader version no.

Would this cause problem with a non-flashed (but ADB enabled) S8? I want to try Oreo but in case it ****s my battery I want to be able to downgrade.
I tried everything too. Seem like Samsung really making sure you can't downgrade from V2 bootloader.

Only in respect to bootloader version
Try looking for Oreo with bl ver 1 so you can revert back to noughat if needed.

I think you would get same error.

Removing downloaded Nougat OTA (XT1575)

Hello all,
So just recently I was having problems with my current firmware of Marshmallow 6.0 and I was thinking it's about time to upgrade to one of the latest firmwares available to XT1575. I'm always getting the update notification for Nougat 7.0 and I somehow accidentally chose the option to download the firmware and install it. As of now, I am stuck with my phone trying to update itself to Nougat 7.0. If you're wondering, yes my phone is rooted using Magisk. I am clueless of what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After several reboots, I received the update failed notification. Problem has solved itself.

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?
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.
