Hi guys,
It's my first time posting on here, and I could really use some help. I recently updated my s8 to Android Pie (worst mistake ever) and now I really want to downgrade. The problem which I think I have is, my build number is G950FXXS5DSF1. As far as I can tell, there is no way for me to downgrade because the Binary Code has to be the same? (5). I hope to God i'm wrong, but I would really appreciate it if there is some alternative. Again, i'm new to this so you have to dumb it down for me if there is a way to downgrade, but thanks to anyone who can help!
Edit: is there anyway I can go back to a previous version of Pie and then downgrade from there, or am I stuck?
Unfortunately u can't go back anymore as your bootloader as u said yourself has been updated to v5 ,earlier pie versions has been on v4 as well oreo firmware so people could downgrade back to it.
So you are stuck on pie forever
I like one ui a lot
Thanks for the reply!
Yeah I thought as much, I think the mistake I made was updating the security patch to June 2019 when I downloaded Pie. I didn't know about the whole binary number etc until yesterday when I spent time trying to figure out a way back to Oreo haha!
Oh well, I suppose such is life, Pie isn't all bad (I genuinely was excited about it at first), just a bit of a drainer on battery life and the camera i'm not too happy with- it doesn't automatically focus anymore. Hopefully Samsung rectify this, I love Android just wish sometimes they didn't change things so much haha!

Hey guys,
I've been searching around but can't quite figure out what to do here. I rooted my phone RIGHT after I got it. I think I installed some sort of update.zip cyanogen made for it. I can't remember what all I did, but I want this latest update. I see that there is a cyanogen mod but I can't find any clear instructions for my situation. There is a radio update and a normal update. I remember from my G1/Sense UI days that you don't mess around with those, so how do I proceed?
Thanks.
Never mind, got it. The main rooting tutorial has it at the end if anyone is looking in the future.
It looks like after hundred years of wait the final version of Marshmallow is here
But the thread about it have already flooded with hackers and people who root and are in general very advanced users.
Most people of us here have not rooted or touched the boot loader, all the problem we might see in the other thread might be because of the reason
that they have modified the phone in different ways.
so lets discuss of this update work for us who have non-modifed devices ? And let
keep all advanced "root" and hacking talk please. Especially since that in its own might confuse people
cause modified devices might cause problems that we do not get for people who have had patience
to not modified there devices or install any Beta versions of android.
It is not much information at this point about what versions that it is compatible with
but it can be downloaded here
http://www.huaweiblog.de/android/mar...fiziell-final/
I think we are all eager to install this device but there is not much info
we simply need more people to try and confirm what works and not
I think most people in this thread will be on lollipop b331
So it would be nice if people could try and confirm if it works from this version
will all data be wiped ?
You need to do full backup ?
Let us know what problem you get into.
For more advanced rooting and hacking talking use the other thread
this thread is for people with non experience of that
I myself am on B513 and tried updating to the final marshmallow build yesterday and it did not work, i tried both methods of updating, using the dialer method would not even recognize there was an update on my sd card, the power button and volume up and down method started and got to about 5% and then failed. This was all also done on a clean Mate 7, no root or anything and I even reset and wiped the device before trying the update. Either I'm doing something wrong in the update process or this update does not work on B513. Any help would be great in figuring this update out!

So are you on B331 or B513?
B331
From what i have gathered, we may have a problem with the 'cust'. Aparently the verion that's around only works with C432 and some of us have C900 (you can easily check this in 'about phone/build number'. I hope someone with more knowledge can guide us

I upgraded from B513
bug on B522
Hello everyone I have noticed a bug under Marshmallow, some applications like facebook or twitter messenger does not run in the background and suddenly I not receive notifications if they are closed ( the same thing with B513 ) .
All the parameters are good , apps are "protected" and have all the permissions to do it ( run in background ) : it comes from Marshmallow or must wait for updated applications concerned ?
Second question , twice I managed to see integrated into the " phone " application during a call , the keys to Register the call or forward ... it lasted only 5/10 seconds and I unable to remember what I hit to make them appear .. you have an idea ?
Thank you (you and google translate )
we all know that huawei is the most incompetent out of all android oem's, but i dont think they're such idiots to release final version software with such restrictions to who can install it. the update demands too specific conditions to succeed.. i am on c900b331 and im sick of waiting. guys, even 4 years old nexus 4 works WAY better, more smooth and stable than mate 7. i guess we're just used to how it works but since few days im using iphone se and... i think i couldnt go back to huawei. this thing barely works compared to iphone.. still got the mate7, and nexus 4 and waiting to test out final marshmallow.
my concern is this whole b522 is not a stable final yet.
So far everything is running pretty smooth, updated from c900b513 to c900b522 and works great so far, only noticeable thing is the new health app and all but one theme is deleted, but they can easily be downloaded and added again if you want them, ram management is far better, I'll see how battery is tomorrow
Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone!
Is there an easy, quick or thorough way to debloat our phones running Nougat?
psouza4 had this thread with directions on how to do that, but I think it was for 6.0.1 because it's not working on my phone
My phone is the Samsung SM-G930V with the baseband version G930VVRU4BQA4 and build number NRD90M.G930VVRU4BQA4 if that helps anyone.
Anything anyone can do to point me in the right direction or any tips you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking something similar to this or this but for 7.0, not 6.0.1.
I'm not clever enough to really know what can and can't be removed safely. I usually just spend weeks removing stuff to try and strip down to an absolutely minimum stock phone and end up just breaking the operating system and having to start over.
However, in the two links hyperlinked above, two guys both immensely smarter than me were able to strip the phones of all the bloatware and then some while remaining on stock roms and having a very functional phone.
I was hoping to find something like that.
For now I'm just downgrading to a rom that came out before Sep 15, 2016 and then following the steps in this thread to get a functional rooted phone that is tweaked to run okay, then I'm using the steps in this thread to strip the phone down to almost nothing but still keeping it functional.
I would rather have total control of the applications and software on my phone and use a dated operating (6.0.1) system versus using the most up to date operating system (7.0) and not having as much control or understanding of what's on my phone.
I would love to upgrade to 7.0 though if anyone knows an extensive and reliable way to extremely debloat the Verizon Samsung S7 SM-G930V with a locked bootloader?
I've lurked and googled every variation of any combination of words to try and find the right place to learn how to do this but fell back on the two threads I hyperlinked above, twice. I can't find anything that works for me for 7.0
If anyone wants to emulate what I did to get a similar result, I used the firmware version G930UUEU4API3 for the device Samsung Galaxy S7, model SM-G930U for my SM-G930V (apparently the G930U version doesn't come with Verizon bloat? just standard bloat?) because that version was released 9/09/16 and the thread for the extreme debloat was last updated 9/15/16, probably to account for that release. After that nothing has been updated.

Update 7.0 root it and try this rom. You need to create a account to access the form.

Thanks. I was using the 6.0.1 rom for awhile but ended up doing other things.
I have been using this 7.0 one now since you posted on the 4th and it's nice.
If you find anything else do share, thanks so much for your help!

I have a Samsung Tab S2 (SM-T710) this is running Lillopod 5.0.2
Is it possible to upgrade this into Oreo? if so, is it a case of root it, then odin flash it? Are there any helpful guides / tips?
Thanks

Suggest you use Odin to flash stock Nougat first and give that a go. It's pretty good and I've felt no reason to root just to get Oreo.

Thanks for the reply.
Is that the Samsung wrapped Nougat or the raw version..... I am hoping to get away from some of the Samsung bloat..
In your current Lollipop, the mixture of Samsung Bloat and a bad version of Android, (5.0.2 was a car crash.) makes it an awful experience.
In Android 6 & 7, Samsung have really reduced the bloat and the underlying OS, is significantly better. If you install stock and spend half an hour cleaning the bloat, its a really consistent experience on the S2 and I've not experienced any slowdown. :victory:
When thinking about root and Oreo, just remember this hardware is getting old now and wasn't exactly fast 3 years ago. Battery life on the 8" version isn't great due to its small size. As Samsung have been good at providing security updates, I really can't see enough gains in the whole rooting experience. :angel:
Many thanks for your help........ I will take the simple route via odin. I will see how I get along
hey there,
just a quick recap:
The phone is still on Android 7.1.1, I"ve got a script with ADB from 7to Forum through 4pda.to, got the custom TWRP working, but after getting root through flashing magisk, it got stuck on boot. After I got the official 7.1.1 zip, it is back on official recovery and I gave up... (Link to 4pda, which I got my inital files from - it is a link to google translate, so you could read, what it is all about
The forum here on xda-developers for Nokia 5 is really messed up and there is no real guide or any help which could help me out, I don"t know any valid source of official ROMs, there are no tools - nothing.
I planned to get on Android 9 with ROOT through MAGISK, so I"ve got a unlocked bootloader and wanted just update to Android 9, so I could install MAGISK through TWRP.
but none of that worked, I got only the unlocked Bootloader....
maybe someone could please help, I just don"t know where to start now - I have some knowledge about Android, because every single smartphone of mine got rooted (HTC EVO 3D, SAMSUNG S5, HTC MI8), as I love AdAway and Viper4Android, but this phone for a family member got me started..... This phone is brand new, never used, got it from the grandmother of my girlfriend, wanted to get it to work and give it to someone else in need of a smartphone, but I got stuck...
Thanks it advance
I've managed to update it to pie, with some obscure errors, but it works flawlessly, but I'm on 6.12 now, want to update it to 6.19, but it doesn't work through the recovery, but I'm on it.
Maybe I will write a little tutorial after all, for someone, who has also those problems like me - it is getting harder and harder to get things done on older devices...
