Yes you can downgrade I have downgraded at least 4 times and upgraded again.I would advise you stay with MM if you downgrade and dislike nougat and oreo that much.You can flash most MM roms with nougat bootloader and baseband so keep that in mind as an alternative to downgrading.Ok this will take you at least 3 attempts but it does work.You obviously need phone rooted with oem unlock and have twrp installed.Ok first thing wipe everything with TWRP except usb OTG and external sd card.Boot the phone into download mode and open odin with the MM firmware you want to flash.The firmware will start to flash but will keep on saying waiting for bootloader 10 seconds or 20 seconds.Just let it flash the firmware.If the firmware loads on odin and stays the same without loading bootloader rubbish you have the new firmware flashed and is great.When the firmware is flashed after saying waiting for bootloader it will say success after flashing.It will never boot however.What you do is flash twrp through odin then factory reset and reboot.It won't boot so go back in to twrp and only wipe dalvike data system and cache this time.After that boot into download mode and flash MM firmware again.If the same thing happens again just repeat the above again.Sometimes I transferred the firmware to a different version of odin.It always took me 3 attempts but don't give up it works.Is great when you load the firmware on odin and everything loads and stops no more rubbish like waiting for bootloader.The phone will boot after this with MM no problem.

I used odin. And Im still Nougat because whenever I start flashing it, a few seconds it will stop. Because of that bootloader. How can I unlock that thing?

Make sure you have set OEM unlock in developer options and try flashing from a different version of odin.I just downgraded again a few weeks ago no problem.

My advice and this is final.I downgraded 3 or 4 weeks ago as I said before and have done a lot in that time with mm roms sometimes flashing 6 roms a day and the same problems with mm still exist mainly bluetooth connections on speakers games controllers car bluetooth accessories.Nothing has changed and no developer is going back in history to fix any of this.I will upgrade to nougat in the next few days and that will be the last time I downgrade again.As I said before most mm roms can be flashed on nougat firmware and are just as good performance wise.I would suggest you try the oreo aosp roms or the new Pie roms if you dislike nougat that much and join the what's app group link I gave you to get some decent roms.And in my opinion the nougat roms are better than mm roms and you have 5 or 6 different nougat kernels and for oreo and pie aosp roms you have again 5 or 6 different kernels.MM great as it was has been surpassed by nougat easily and now oreo and Pie.As I said before you can flash all the best MM roms on nougat firmware.It is not worth downgrading believe me.:highfive:

I want to downgrade because when I upgrade to Nougat some new system apps added and makes Lag and battery drain.
Did u manage to sort. I love my J5. Have it since first launched. I have tried most custom and official roms, soft bricked many times, and unbricked. Lollipop is the best for this device. its one of the easiest phones to flash.
1. Go to settings, tap on build number 8 times until it shows " you are now a developer"
2. Go back to settings . Select developer options.
3. Enable OEM unlock and USB debugging.
4. Power off phone.
5. Press vol down+home+power buttons to go into download mode. It will ask if you are sure to continue? Press vol up (i think) directions will be on screen.
6. Open odin on pc and connect phone.
7. Odin should show COM with a number in blue. That means connection success.
8. Please ensure you flash correct software for your phone or else bootloop. Check firmware from here https://updato.com/firmware
Hey Guys,
I just bought the s8 yesterday and realised I did not have the OEM unlock and tried flashing the rom from the guide posted here but it didn't flash via odin because downgrading is not possible. I found the date trick on xda's portal and that worked for me and I flashed TWRP by odin.
I allowed system modifications and wiped all data and install no-verity-opt as well as magisk for root. Phone booted up fine and everything was working, I wanted to go to twrp to just check if it was working and it returned with Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed and well the phone is soft bricked. I was wondering is there any other way other than restoring stock firmware via odin to fix this?
OEM lock shows off in download mode still, I am waiting for the sammobile firmware (5 more hours lol) to download and just wanted to know this time around, is there a fix that I am missing or a step that I missed out so that I could reboot and twrp stays as well as the phone doesn't get soft bricked as this is my daily driver

Install rmm by pass after root before reboot. This will keep oem unlocked.
Hello all
I installed the latest T585XXU4CRJ8 Oreo 8.1 update over Nougat 7 on the SM-T585. (BTU / UK)
Everything went well using Odin and the Oreo stock rom from the Updato website.
Cleared the cache and factory reset from recovery mode as normal practice. Booted up ok.
The problem is the device doesn't recognise the network sim card anymore (worked perfectly on Marshmallow & Nougat).
I've tried factory reset a few times, no difference.
Removed and reinserted the sim, even tried another sim.
Having checked 'about tablet > software details' , carrier is unknown and the IMEI has dissapeared !
I've tried to reinstall Nougat 7 and Marshmallow 6 back on the SM-T585 and Odin fails every time.
Tried 2 computers and 3 different usb cables.
Even trying to reinstall Oreo 8.1 again Odin fails!
Theres no frp lock activated, and the oem unlock tab is checked, usb debugging enabled too.
I've read somewhere Samsung have done something to Oreos BootLoader file to stop people downgrading back to earlier software.
I know its early days, but if anyone can offer any solutions, it'd be appreciated.:good:
How to change the BL file version, so i can reinstall earlier stock roms back?
The Oreo update seems more hassle than its worth and I didnt expect the sim card to be unrecognised once updated, let alone being faced with the puzzle of how to downgrade the software.
Thanks for reading. :good:
I think the problem was I used all four files (AP, BL,CP & CSC) from the Netherlands rom and that's whats screwed the device up!
As in no SIM card acknowledgement. I ran the IMEI number off the rear casing through a blacklist checking site and it came back clean.
After many attempts trying every Odin program variant possible and even tried mixing and matching files from different stock roms ( MM 6.0.1 , N7 and Oreo 8.1). To try and get the network carrier file installed, Odin refused to install anything.

https://download.chainfire.eu/1069/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-gtaxllte-gtaxlltexx-smt585.zip
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016.html
Tried the above routes to root to no avail, but Magisk worked by patching the boot.img file (which worked ok). Then tried Odin to install TWRP recovery, again from the site above, nothing but blue and fuzzy lines on the boot screen. The device wouldn't boot into the OS, had to go straight to download mode. Prior to that, I even installed the TWRP manager apk and connected to wifi to flash the TWRP.img from inside the OS environment and the same happened again with all variants of TWRP! Wouldn't boot, properly, no screen visuals, but lines......
Surely someone else on here has the same device (BTU UK) SM T585 that has a working TWRP recovery?
After many hours, I couldn't get Odin to play ball , so the only option left was to try the route of root, twrp recovery then installing a custom rom from twrp.
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-ultra-lean-rom-galaxy-tab-10-1-2016-t3467942)
But it's a no go as TWRP wouldn't install properly, I'm totally miffed by the damage the software has done.
Surely just reflashing the CP file should have reinstated the network facility, but it hasn't.
The last resort is for me to wait until Samsung actually release the UK version of Oreo 8.1 and see if I can get the sim card working again.
Moral of the story is wait until a UK version of the update is released, and even then you have to question is it worth it, if Samsung are making bootloader files so no downgrades are possible, nor allowing any modifications.
Hopefully this info may help others out who are thinking of upgrading or having similar issues.
Cheers for reading

I had the same problem, went from Lineage 14.1 to Oreo stock rom (the flashable one you can find on this site, i flashed also the Bootloader/modem file in the thread). No imei, no baseband. Returned back to lineage and got back imei and baseband, but after my screen was going to sleep (after the regular 1 min) I had only black screen and vertical red lines. I flashed then Resurrection Remix 6.2, Lineage 15, Lineage 16, always the same problem. Then I used Odin and the original firmware of Nougat from SamMobile, at the first attempt i flashed only the AP file. I turned to have the same problem, but this time the lines were white. I flashed all the 4 files again with Odin, problem solved and back to Lineage 14.1 (the only custom rom were everything works)

What version of TWRP have you installed for the T585 and from what site?
Also what root method did you use?
I have tried all available and all seem corrupt i.e don't install properly, no proper boot up with onscreen options. Just fuzzy lines.
Again root i've tried many, but don't work with this Oreo 8.1., even Magisk is problematic.
I think its pretty sad of Samsung sending out poor quality updates for us to use. Their heading the same way as Apple and the way they control customers.
If I could go back to a custom MM or Nougat, I would. But TWRP / ROOT are an issue. i.e no TWRP no custom rom!
If anyones thinking of updating and reading this topic, stay clear of the Oreo 8.1 update for the SM T585. Once installed theres no turning back.....so it seems
Thanks for replying.

just flash the nougat firmware from SamMobile. You have to flash all the 4 files in the zip you are going to download. AP, CSC, etc. Once you have your tablet completely stock you can install again TWRP and flash whatever CUSTOM rom you want.
I easily rooted the phone with odin flashing only the TWRP in AP box (twrp taken from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78145080&postcount=160) avoid the auto-reboot. You have to put the tab in DL mode, connect it to pc, start odin flash the twrp in AP file e unselect Auto-reboot. As soon as the process is done you have to log in recovery mode at the first boot with home + power + vol up and flash dm-verity. I rooted with Magisk without any problem just flashing the v17.3. Now i' m back to nougat (from Oreo) and i can install whatever custom rom i want. But honestly the only one fully working is Lineage 14.1. Resurrection remix 6.2 has problem with camera and gps don't lock. Same for Oreo version. Tried Pie, same problem.
Domenico F
Thanks for the info.
I tried to install MM 6.01 & Nougat 7 stock rom and they wouldn't install, no matter what I did. ( see Odin pictures )
The last chance was to try Oreo 8.1 again and I did manage to reflash the 'Netherlands stock Oreo 8.1 rom' (after 10 hours!) using all four files (AP,BL,CP,CSC).
I then reset the device a couple of times via stock recovery. Took the OEM lock off, theres no FRP lock either. Enabled developer mode > debug mode (all the usual setting changes prior to rooting / twrp install).
At this point the imei and sim card network ARE recognised and work on the device as normal.
HOWEVER I found once I rooted by any genuine means > Magisk v16 (patched boot img taken from stock rom) and also the CF gtaxlltex sm t585 auto root method.
And when the device booted back up, the 'imei and sim card' WERE NOT usable, nor recognised, no network...........I also noticed BusyBox wouldn't install at all, message about integrity of root.
Adaway and Lucky Patcher recognised root.
I also then tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.0 -3.2.3.0 from many locations and again, none of them worked at all. Just blue lines, fuzzy screen etc. On some occasions Odin wouldn't even process the files.
I include pictures of the files I used.
Its evident to me that I can use the device normally i.e sim card , make calls, data etc if I don't attempt to install root / twrp recovery.
So no root , no twrp , then no custom rom usable or installable. It sounds like Samsung are out to stop custom software on their products.
If the Netherlands stock rom 'BL' (boot loader) file is encrypted with this new binary v3 or v4 to stop OS modifications. I wouldn't recommend using it when flashing the new Oreo 8.1 rom or future new releases.
The best way is to just use the AP file ONLY and overlap Nougat 7 or MM 6. And because you've kept your original BL from earlier stock roms, it may be possible to downgrade back to MM or Nougat if need be.
Once the latest new Oreo / Pie 'BL files' are used in the Odin flashing process, it causes big problems.
Hopefully, maybe someone smart enough can find away to decipher these new BL files and offer a replacement method. which will allow software downgrades and modifications

Honestly i think this run for Oreo it's not really worth. I said you what I did and now i have no problems. I'm not in hurry to use Oreo (as stock rom). I think Lineage 14.1 is the most stable and fastest rom i tried till now, and most of all everything is working. I think i'll give a try via Odin to the official stock rom when it will be available for download (i live in Germany) but sadly I don't use most of the Samsung bloatware installed by default.
WRP Oreo 8.1 on Galaxy Tab 10.1 (T585)
Then I've tried
twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-t585_29918 which gives only stripes when booting into recovery
Do I have to flash the stock boot/recovery before flashing this one,
or this is broken, as well.
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
Hope this helps.
So, as I was trying to search for my Galaxy Tab A6 (SM-T585) for Deodexed Stock ROM, I stumbled upon this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/themes/mod-twrp-odin-t3650215 just follow the instructions to fully flash Oreo. By the way when flashing Root, I would recommend Magisk Beta https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
it does not damage the IMEI at all(Thread here, read the comment:https: //forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) . The TWRP, I think we should leave it be, don't flash an update for the TWRP.
Thanks. Hope this helps.

Neither does a custom recovery, so not sure what your point is?
I mean if your having problems using MAGISK use the beta version
Okay, so I flashed TWRP onto my Galaxy S8 using Odin and then it said my workspace has been locked due to unauthorised software being installed on the device, so I then went and found my firmware online to flash it onto my device, hoping to bypass my workspace restriction but then found flashing the software factory reset my device, so I lost TWRP recovery. How on Earth do I flash TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy S8 without being blocked from using my device? I’m a noob at this stuff but have some know how to get this far... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.. My end goal is to root my phone with Magisk and bypass SecurityNet restrictions on my phone from unlocking my bootloader.

hi.
i have an g950fd on 8.0
with this new firmware... 8.0 G950FXXU4CRKB
when i install "twrp", "RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa" and "magisk 18"
then it boot ok. BUT, when reboot.. BAM!
soft brick with the message "only official released binaries are allowed", even twrp i cant access...
ive gotten on download and flashed the firmware again and its on; but i really want my root....
so my rmm didnt worked.. how can i bypass this?!?!
anyone has a new rmm? please!!
b4 k3 s3
what i think is that i get oem unlock --> twrp-3.2.3-2-dreamlte --> rmm + magisk + samsung-antiroot-removal-2.4
and at some point the firmware reblock oem
what can i do? thanks!
Are you using the dm-verity thing?

soft brick with the message "only official released binaries are allowed", even twrp i cant access...
ive gotten on download and flashed the firmware again and its on; but i really want my root....
so my rmm didnt worked.. how can i bypass this?!?!
anyone has a new rmm? please!!
b4 k3 s3
what i think is that i get oem unlock --> twrp-3.2.3-2-dreamlte --> rmm + magisk + samsung-antiroot-removal-2.4
and at some point the firmware reblock oem
what can i do? thanks!

at step 7 from install twrp...
when you are in twrp chose format and format the data to remove encryption.
I also got the message "only official released binaries are allowed" and twrp was gone and replaced by factory recovery

"SORRY
There Is No Root At This Time
Brand: samsung

You can flash with odin original firmware even if you don't have oem unlock.
But, to install twrp and root you NEED to have the oem unlock enabled in the developer settings

Depends, will have to check in download mode, if kg state and/or rmm state is prenormal then you will have to wait.
Om my s8 if i flash firmware i can modify my phone as soon as i connect to the imternet.
I've seen people here struggling with rooting j701f a.k.a J7 Nxt. I always got bootloop when installed TWRP and flashed Magisk, so little trick here is installing custom kernel; i am using Helios kernel 3.1 and it works perfectly. (Select wifi driver new with android pie when installing, first option).
Technically it should work on J7 Nxt /Neo /Core. Tested in J7 Nxt 701F, DDU6CSF1 Stock firmware OneUI 1.1 Indian Variant.
Procedure from start.
Given:
You're running on Pie.
OEM Unlock option enabled in developers Option.
Get Odin - https://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/
Get TWRP - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-j701f-core-nxt-exynos-7870/recovery-t3693009
Get Helios Kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...70/kernel-heliospie-kernel-3-1-j701x-t3941438
Start Odin and untick auto reboot option.
Select Boot.tar file in BL
Select Recovery.tar file in AP
Flash.
Unplug phone.
Remove battery.
Put it back.
Hold Volume up (+) then Home then Power button for 20-30seconds
Press Power button.
Press power button again.
You'll see TWRP recovery 3.1.1 , say thanks to GhaithSYR
Swipe to modify system.
Format data, Type yes (Beware it'll erase all data and factory reset except SD card.
Flash Kernel.
Reboot.
Update Magisk.
You can update your TWRP to 3.2.1 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-exynos-7870/stable-twrp-3-2-1-j701f-t3742401

PM for Queries. Bit busy so posting it short, will update Detailed guide soon.

RECOVERING:
If you mess up and device is not working there is very easy way to get stock rom back. No need to panic at all.
Go to Sammobile.com get your Stock Rom.
Flash via Odin.
Done.

It means phone is not OEM unlocked flash older firmware and check. It's been long i rooted this phone, currently not using it I don't remember exactly what I did to get rid of this msg - unofficial binary.
But i remember changing date back to few months and enabling allow OEM unlock.
There is another guide of rooting including a tool phoenix something. Search Xda it exits here. All I can say is keep fighting i tried a lot time and at the end it worked, I even used custom kernel Helios and rooted properly with magisk.

According to the photos shown, you need to use MiracleBox, as it is prenormal
