Hey guys,
I am currently running Android Pie beta4 on my S8 G950F and I am looking to downgrade to CRL3 to be able to get the official Android Pie update.
I need to do this update using the SD card because I do not have access to a Windows device, or can someone give me some details how could I make the android pie update to my S8 using a Mac ?

There are no updates to downgrade. You need to flash via odin. Go find your needed G950F ... 4DSBA firmware and flash home csc. If you have issues, flash csc (wipes phone).
¡BBB!

Get yourself a Windows VM or see if you can get Odin and SamFirm on Mac.

Install firmware finder and adjust setting to view last firmware
If it can't find nougat update , you can unlock bootloader and update via twrp method

I found the b563 fw but when i tried to update it it stopped at 1 % and the phone rebooted. What can cause the problem ?
Keep checking! Older firmwares have some small optimization to be done. So these guys r releasing slowly

On the firmware finder app, disable OTA, and you'll see that the ones that say FULL/OTA will disappear,
and the only FULL that shows up are the older (EMUI 4x) ones. At least that's what happens on
mine. L29C185B321
I just manage to update to b563 by first flash b211 using the dload method, and then i could update to b563 with firmware finder . Thanks for the help everybody !
Is it possible to flash back to Nougat from the Oreo beta on the US S8?. I've tried searching but I could only find information on the international version.
Follow the SMG950U instructions. Basically getting BLQ1 nougat flashed on the phone and then getting the update.zip for CRB8 and applying that in the Vol UP+Bixby+PWR boot.

Connect to pc with smart switch and it will give a downgrade option. At least it does for mine...
Hi,
So the new firmware update is really bad on the battery and I wanted to rollback for my SG955W. I downloaded the latest 7.0 firmware from sammobile and tried flashing with ODIN but it fails for some reason.
Can someone help me why?

I do not think that is possible. Bootloader on your model was updated to V3 from V2 on Nougat.
Samsung is responsible for doing this. They should be sued!

Download Nougat or Marsh from sammobile and flash t with Odin, more instructions on sammobile.
downgrade only possible with V2 firmware files, don't flash any firmware build before the january 2018 or you will brick your device .

I am new here i dont know what is V2 firmwarefile. Can you explain what is V2 firmware?? Thanks you for advise:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I mean the bootloader version that is written in the firmware name i.e in G935FXXU2DRAG, 2 is the bootloader version of the firmware after U letter and if you are already on version 2 bootloader, you cannot flash a firmware which has 1 in place of 2..

This is useful! I tried to downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0 and bricked my device, luckily I could restore the same version I had before... even SmartSwitch don't give a damn about my device anymore.
If you have bootloader version which says XXS2 then you can't downgrade to Marshmallow and initial Nougat firmwares released till December 2017.
However, if you never upgraded your bootloader to v2 (like me), then you can downgrade to even Marshmallow without any issues. Check my phone screenshot. I am running latest Oreo firmware on v1 bootloader without any issues.

How you flash latest Oreo without flasing V2 bootloader? It is possible?
Hello, my tablet was a UK version with Chinese firmware (latest 2021) I tried to return it to BTU without suceess. It wouldn't let me flash other firmware after this except TWRP somehow but with a special app that unlocked the bootloader option.
The only Rom it would accept after flashing twrp was lineage 18.1 (I wanted arm64).
Now I have a bunch of apps that don't work with lineage 18.1 (boat beacon and AIS apps) and I would like to go back to a nougat, oreo or pie firmware.
I know there are some restrictions with sofware rev check etcetera when trying to downgrade from a later modem.
Is there a way round it??
Thanks in advance
