Would it be possible to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat?
Condition
-No custom firmware
-Current marshmallow is official and planning to go back to kitkat official stock firmware
-knox is still 0x0 after downgrade. Is this possible?
Device model
S5 g900i
Android 6.0.1 marshmallow
Security patch level 1 June 2016
Use odin to flash the KitKat firmware. That'd probably work for you.
But be careful selecting the right firmware for your model!
Any one know if they will be releasing unlocked oreo firmware for 950u1 - XAA? Or will I have to go back to carrier locked firmwares for Oreo 950u?
If i downgrade from oreo to noguat am i going to trap knox ? and also is it even possible to downgrade through odin after having official oreo firmware in my s8 plus ?
Thanks
Hi,
I am trying to downgrade my Galaxy J5 Prime (SM-G570Y) from Android 7.0, back to Android 6.0.1 (for some reasons). I have selected the 4 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) in Odin for flashing. I have tried several methods to downgrade, but Odin keeps saying "FAIL!". Is there a solution for this?
Current Android 7.0 (Nougat) version on my phone:
G570YDXU2BRC1 (with Android Security Patch Level of 1 March 2018)
Planning to downgrade to Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) of version:
G570YDXU1AQG1 (with Android Security Patch Level of 1 July 2017)
CSC used on my phone:
Philippines (Open Line) - XTC
Thank you in advance!

I have this same problem to i want to downgrade because i want to fix my baseband and IMEI.
But looking and searching the sites and other forums i still don't find that is possible yet as there is not U2 android 6 available. Since the android 7 have security level U2 and can't go back to U1 (G570YDXU2BRC1 android 7 & G570YDXU1AQG1 android 6.0.1)
I guess we just have to root the phone and try other methods to fix IMEI and baseband.

Maybe it's different I've got g570F
For a Korean variant S6 model, SM-G920K/L/S, can I confirm what’s the max android version and security patch version it can be updated to?
Checked on Sammobile, the available stock firmware would be android 7.0 and security patch of 30th July 2018. Is this true? Just want to confirm that it can’t be updated beyond - just for stock firmwares.
Cheers!
