Downgrade to 6.0 from 7.0

Hello, i'm new to this forum and this phone (SM- G928F). Can someone tell me or link me on how to downgrade through Odin to 6.0 ? A colleague of mine had bootlooped his phone and forgot his account, the phone stuck on FRP and he doesn't remember it. I tried to downgrade but Odin fails when I try to.

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.

My S7 Edge was FRP Locked because of FORTNITE!!!

Hello guys I really need your help!
I had a Nougat stock rom on my S7 Edge and when Fortnite was released I installed it but it was so laggy and asked me to update to the new version of android. So I found a custom rom that was perfect was called "Black Pearl" S9 ported to S7
then I opened fortnite but it seemed like the rom was rooted or something fortnite asked me to turn of OEM lock so I did so and since then I got the message " Custom binary blocked by FRP lock.
so now I can't figure what to do, I am installing a stock rom with odin but it keeps saying FAIL! FAIL! everytime maybe it's because of turning off OEM or something.. I don't really know what to do now! HELP!

Help me please!

FRP lock does not block official firmware flashing through odin.
It just prevents custom firmware from being installed.
You have to flash official firmware its the only option, choose the correct region when you are downloading the firmware.
If you don't know what region your original phone firmware was then use samsung smart switch to emergency reset the phone.

I download my official firmware and odin keep saying fail after like half an hour! it doesn't seem to work bro that's why it's not as easy as you think it is I know how to flash the roms and have flashed them before many times but man this time is different idk what to do

It doesn't accept installing any roms even I tried installing twrp.img but it failed? so what's the problem guys help if you can cuz I am broke to buy a new phone right now!

hi guys some help pls :) re install rom?

Hi guys, my nephew has his gave his phone to me, i can have it for my kids.
I tried to put it back to factory setting by recovery mode and it says failed to find misc partition.
my guess is flash it from download mode with odin into a new rom ?
Also what rom should i take because i cant really get it clear what kind of phone it is, from the netherlands.
Yes maybe some dumb questions but better safe than sorry

Thats a Galaxy A5 2016, model number is A510F as shown in your pic.
You should be good by flashing the latest stock ROM through Odin.

thanks, ive did that yes with the stock rom, only prob now is that it has FRP protection on..
