I want to downgrade my phone from android 7.0 to 6.01. The performance of the new OS is so bad that the phone is almost unusable!
Odin will not let me downgrade because the bootloader/modem etc is an older version.
I installed TWRP with the instructions from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/twrp-3-0-0-galaxy-a3-2016-sm-a310-t3316176
However when I try to install the 6.0.1 rom I downloaded from sammobile I get an "no md5 file found" error from twrp.
I thought that twrp is so versatile that it allows any rom to be installed.
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
If you downloaded a ROM from sammobile or samfirmware they can only be flashed via Odin.

Hello,
My Note 4 is rooted , emotion nightly with twrp, using stock rom samsung marshmallow
today I received a software update for the marshmallow firmware.
the update is a zip file
I tried to flash the update using twrp, but it failed. As I understood twrp can't flash zip files, only tar
I tried to flash the update using odin, but it failed. is this the same with odin?
maybe I am doing something wrong
is there by any chance a possiblity to flash the update or do I need to install the complete new stock firmware ?
thanks in advance, kind regards, coinco
How did you recieved the update ?
If you downloaded it from sammobile
Then first extract the zip file , if you get an .tar file , only then you can flash it with odin .
You simply cant flash an official update through any unofficial software , so dont try to flash it in custom recovery .
Reporting via N910G.
Thank you, for your answer,
I received the update, through (F) OTA,
so as I understand correctly, it will not be possible to flash the file.
It will be no problem , I will flash the original new firmware.
Hey Guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H, the updater asked me to update the Android into Lollipop from its original firmware Kitkat 4.4.4. After finished installing, it started bootloop, it wouldn't boot to the Android. I tried to search from many sources, to fix my phone, and I found some thread that I must to reflash the firmware because they said it's corrupted. After that, I downloaded Odin, the firmware (Android Lollipop) and flash it. It still can't boot to the Android. I tried to flash to Kitkat and it seems that the Odin was failed to flash the firmware. I can't find the CSC and PDA code from the phone because I can't boot into Android. I also tried Kies and SmartSwitch to initialize my phone, but it didn't work.
What should I do now???
Had A310F with custom ROM, then went back to stock marshmallow.
Now wanted to go for latest Nougat with the marshmallow rooted and twrp on.
Samfirm only gives my one oart firmware which does not fir in ap slot on odin 3.12.
using 4 part nougat carrier specific not free one it fials on flashing.
What is the way now to get a stock android 7.0 device here with which firmware please?
does flash fail due to downgrade?
think i deleted something in marshmallow rom to make bootloader security somewhat fit to downgrade
Try to download the firmware from sammobile.com i think you can't downgrade just download another stock firmwaee for the a310f (your device) and try to reflash via odin

Why root this phone?
What mean with my problem???
hey,
Try flashing latest firmware with patched odin
So i installed LineageOS 16.0 android 9.0 and i wanted to go back to android 8.0 and somehow i got that error. F*cked up somewhere in odin 100%. I was using lastest version of odin, so odin v3.13.1. So i tried to flash stock firmware many times, tried to flash TWRP but nothing worked. Then i started trying out older odin versions and i finally flashed the TWRP with odin v3.12.3! Now the phone works Hope this helped someone
BTW has someone a link to a not buggy version of The Galaxy Project rom? 2.2.1 maybe or something like that?
