Hello. I'm looking to root my phone. I have an SM-G950U on android oreo and I'd like to know if I can downgrade to nougat 7.0 and root at the same time with a cf-auto-root package from firmware.mobi
Will there be any side effects? Is it possible to downgrade and root an sm-g950u at the same time with that package? (I selected the cf-auto-root option) If not, is there any other way I can get root access on my device? sorry for the noob question
No

Samdung s8 U version is using a snapdragon Soc or cpu ( idk) and all snapdragon samsung s8 and s8+ have their bootloader locked.. ( imagine ur bios patition for ur pc (sort of))
so with a locked bootloader which u cannot unlock ure stuck with official samsung upgrades..
this locked bootloader also locks u from downgrading.. meaning ure stuck with oreo.. theres no way back..
trying to force to erase ur samsung oreo to clean the partition to manually install android 7 will brick your phone ( where as theres no way to install another software on a phone that has no connection with hardware,basically ull have some metal and glass componnents... a dead phone..nothing can be done after) ..
Just wait a couple of months till Samsung hopefully fixes some oreo bugs.
Also rooting isnt possible at the moment with samsung s8 and s8+

I've followed the guide in this forum downloaded the file from chainfire site for my exact model but it didn't work only ended up in samsung logo. I am even unable to shutoff my device, be aware that CF Auto root method is not working on latest patches. If u r stuck in samsung logo flash stock firmware via odin then u r good to go....
Hi, I know this isn't the right forum but I can't publish in another one.
I have a SM-G935F (Exynos), and I don't like Nougat's battery life. So I wanna downgrade to marshmallow. But when I was looking how do that sometimes I had read I need to delete all Google accounts, restore the device, turn off the device, and then do wipe data/factory reset and wipe data cache and turn off again the device, to finally go to the download mode. But I too had read I only turn off the device and put the download mode.
Do I have to do all those things or do the second one?
I don't want to brick my phone.
Downgrading to a previous version might corrupt your IMEI stopping your phone from making and receiving calls, I've learned that the hard way..So better do a thorough research before taking any action.
I too don't like Nougat which makes me go back again and again to a Marshmallow build. I haven't experienced any problem going back to MM from Nougat. I just have to factory reset every time to boot up normally after flashing the MM Rom via Odin. I currently have this build on my phone with Xposed:
i have downgraded my grand 2, s7 edge W8 model multiple times. all i do is shut off the phone put it in download mode, open odin select proper files n then simply flash. note i never changed any odin settings just simply choose the right files.
i have done this with both stock n custom rom installed. never had any issues
also y not try a custom 7.0 rom. batman rom is quite good, well so is ambasadii one. haven't tried any other rom so can't say anything about others.
I Also prefer MM to N by far in terms of battery life. Never had any issues downgrading to MM from N using Odin, no special things to do other than going into download mode and flashing the MM firmware.
Only reason i had to go back to Nougat is that the carrier will cut LTE for MM starting from today (due to signal improvement processes that are not compatible with 6.0.1).
I may consider Flashing back MM and keeping the Modem from Nougat if that works.
I downgraded to Marshmallow and athough it does't seems, the battery life is a lot better in 6.0.1.
I do not like the old Emojis, but i can handle it
Howhever, the performance increases too. I'm so happy with Marshmallow.

Did you measure it. Batteries lose their capacity.
'Howhever, the performance increases too.' no comments
downgraded from what?

DRA9 BASEBAND FIRmware?
I have SM-G930A, I think with a locked bootloader.
Currently I'm on Marshmallow and when I try to update using system update it says your device is up to date. So If I flash Nougat using Odin will I be able to downgrade back to Marshmallow If I don't like Nougat ?
Thanks

you want to go back to nougat from oreo , am i right ? Then try this video, if it doesnt help please reply to me and i am gonna find a solution to you ASAP
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqpucWXyfqY
hi. thx, but i did this right (like in the video) many times, and it worked perfectly. now is not working cuz the bootloader was updated, and it won't let me downgrade the firmware anymore. i am still trying to find a way but i don't know if is possible.
i am searching a way to downgrade bootloader and then downgrade the firmware, but i dunno if is possible to downgrade bootloader once it was updated.
i am looking for the same solution. i managed to downgrade to Nougat but cant install custom rom
Can someone help me? I have G950FD which Firmware should I flash for my phone? I am using this model in the US
So no solution to downgrade bootloader version?
Bootloader downgrade for U6 is not available yet (For free)

I have searched the whole web. but, I haven't find the solution to downgrade the bootloader for Binary 6. Well, my phone's OS is dead after upgrading to pie. So, apparently the only way for me and to others who are facing the similar issue is to wait until someone releases Binary 6 combination firmware for SM-G950FD.
Good news: It's easy to get your phone running if your bootloader is not upgraded to binary 6. Cuz, Binary 5 firmwares and combination files are available out there and they are 100% working unless your MB is dead.
Note: I have flashed following stock firmwares successfully through ODIN [INS-G950FXXU6DSK9-20191231094010 and INS-G950FXXS6DTA1-20200120123810] yet no luck. Can't boot the OS. Tried to root the phone, cant able to flash the custom recovery. Nothing just works.
Someone, please tag me if ever finds U6 combination file. That's the only hope to bring back my phone to life.
Hello Everyone
I've been searching for some information regarding galaxy s7 edge at&t but i cannot find specific info related upgrading this phone from nougat 7.0 to oreo 8.0 ? My phone is unlocked so i'm using different carrier but i believe bootloader of the phone is still locked so i cannot flash custom recovery or custom roms. My intention is flashing official oreo 8.0. What is the official oreo for this model ? Actually there are some that i found on the forum but i'm a bit confused which one it is. Is it possible to flash official oreo 8.0 without unlocking bootloader via odin ( people say you cannot unlock bootloader of U.S. versions ) ? If it is possible how can i flash it ? will be appreciated for any suggestions .
Thank you
Search for androidfilehost on google enter the site and search for G935A and you could use the first file , i'm currently using it (you'll need odin if you want to flash it , if you want any help ask) Have fun!
Hello everybody. I bought Samsung FE and it's with android 7.0 and it's roote. I would like to get it working with oreo. I cannot find any rom with oreo for rooted devices. Also im not sure about version of this Samsung. Model is SM-N935F but modem version is N935SKSU4BRL1 and version NRD90M.N935FXXU1AQI5_XDAVN_V6. I will be thankful for any help to upgrade to 8.0 or un-root with a correct stock ROM to enable OTA again.

I know this is late but just go to sammobile and download the oreo firmware and flash with Odin. This will factory reset your phone and get rid of root

Same answer but wanted to note that OTA won't be available for you since knox is tripped.
So you need to manually flash whatever version you want.
Not true. Knox is tripped on my device as well as my 20 ultra. Factory reset allows you to get ota if you choose to do it that way.

Sorry, i mistook tripping knox with the rom status, an official rom will have "official" status so ota should work, unlike "custom" status where ota doesn't work.
