You need the Odin3 v3.13.1 (attached below) to flash it. (Older versions won't work)
Most of you probably already know this but here's a quick tutorial on how to flash the stock rom after you extract the zip file:
1. Reboot into download mode.
- From PC, open cmd -> cd <your adb directory> -> type adb reboot download
- Turn off your phone, hold down Home + Volume Down + Power Button, release the keys once the screen with the "Warning" pops up
2. Open Odin3 3.13.1, go to options and make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is checked.
3. Connect your device and hit the Volume Up button to start the process.
4. Go back to logs,
- Click BL and select the file starting with BL (wait for the MD5 check to complete)
- Click AP and select the file starting with AP (wait for the MD5 check to complete)
- Click CSC and select the file starting with CSC (wait for the MD5 check to complete)
(Note: Since this device does not have an LTE modem the CP box will remain empty.
You can ignore the file starting with HOME)
5. Hit Start and wait for the process to complete, keep checking the logs, it should not take more than 15 minutes.
6. Once the device restarts you can unplug the USB cable. The device will now perform the final steps of installation and reboot the device once more.
(The device should finish its initial boot in 5-10 mins)
That's it. Not sure if it can be rooted safely at this moment.
Update:
To roll back to 7.0 after flashing this rom flash this rom: 7.0 T580XXS4BRI1 DBT
Here's a Mega.nz Mirror: https://mega.nz/#!brJyWIAJ!hisbxGderr08lWuHuv8eRa_rXJyDDqrnuGaZmRL68bU

Can you check if the binary blobs are 64-bit or still 32-bit? If they're 64, we're practically set for Treble-enabled ROMs with even less bugs!

I have updated to 8.1.0 and now I can not go back to the previous version: Android 6.
Hi. I have updated to 8.1.0 and now I can not go back to the previous version, how can I remove this version 8.1.0? I have tried by all possible means and it has been impossible for me, now I have to have version 8.1.0 with no possibility of putting Android 6 or 7. I am very worried because I can not go back to the previous version. THANK YOU.
My tablet is: Samsung Galaxy tab A 6 (SM-T580)
My previous android: Firmware Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) - 06-01 - 2016 - T580XXU1APE8
Sorry for my bad English, but I'm from Spain and I've used Google translator.

Simply said, you can't. Samsung bumps the bootloader version with every major OS update, and you can't downgrade bootloader.

Yes, you can. I did it and went back to the latest DBT nougat ROM. Just flash the Nougat ROM files in the same way as described by the OP in the first post using the latest Odin version.
Best, maris

Weird. This FW does bump the BL version (last 5 numbers of the bootloader version, OS version, year, month and release: 4CRJ8 means 4th bootloader version, third major OS update (C is the third letter of the alphabet), R means 2018 (R is the 18th letter), J is October (J is the 10th letter), and 8 means it's the 8th build in October). My previous BL was 3, so bumping to 4 means I can't go back. But if there are firmwares with BL version 4, but on older FW, you can go back.

I went back to the latest DBT Nougat ROM, which is 4BRI1. So the latest DBT Nougat ROM also has the 4th bootloader of the series.

Still 32

Does this mean we will still be able to flash TWRP and use arm A-only GSI Roms? Which I can tell is a limited number of Roms.
Edit: I would settle for 32bit if it meant everything works and I can run a Pie GSI Rom.

Solved
Thank you very much everyone for the help offered, I have been able to go back to the Nougat 7 version, the problem is that I installed the Nougat 7-PHE version of Spain and Odin3-v3.13.1 gave me an error, I had to download the 7 Nougat 7.0 -DBT Germany and then install TWRP and I have already recovered my Tablet staying exactly as I had before.:good

After extracting the Oreo update, vendor still resides inside the system image. I answered my own question. The update isn't project treble compatible.

There IS a Treble-ish solution that hacks around Samsung's ****ty implementation and uses /cache as /vendor, but it hasn't been updated to these new binaries. Unfortunately they're still 32-bit, and not many (or pretty much, no) GSI images exist for 32-bit. Samsung is apparently consciously trying to keep us on stock firmware.

I'm currently using it. It's pretty impressive if you think about it. I wonder if we went with the 32bit vendor that everything would work.

Most of the stuff would work, yes, but there's little to no 32-bit GSI images available. I'm not even sure if Treble itself works with 32-bit.

Pixel Experience
Descendant
Android 8 Oreo:
AOSP 8.1
AOSP Extended

Edit: Might be able to compile other ones as long as they have 32bit sources.

Android 8.1 Oreo
Hey Xda member...Recent installed on my T580 very success and fast/smooth problem zero! After several apps install, too. Also battery great!! Thanks srgrusso Thumb up!

No USA version of this update? Any idea when?

I'm running a modified rooted stock rom with TWRP based on nougat and 1 february 2018 security patch on my t580. Can I still just flash over that with the ROM from this thread? I think I might have to update my twrp first though, I've not updated it in months.

You can, you don't need to update twrp (you will lose it anyway), just flash this through odin.
But you'd be better off updating twrp, and flashing a rooted, de-bloated 8.1 which is flashable through twrp.
It has all the stock features, and it's a bit faster in my experience.
You can find the new twrp and the rom in this thread:

UK version updated this morning( OTA update). November security patch. I am a light user, so havent noticed a huge amount of changes, but two what I have noticed so far. 1. When the charger is plugged in , the charge percentage value is flashed for a few seconds in the middle of the screen. 2. When I play Netflix and press home button, instead of killing netflix, if comes into a small screen in the corner . This is nice... Only worked for netflix though..

Is your phone dual sim?
As far as understood this european firmware (with november patch) it is only for dual sim. The single sim is still on october patch.

Well, the gestures are fine... same as the Mate 20 Pro. But these gestures are designed for android 9, the animation of recent applications is the same as android 9 but adapted to android 8. I think to use them well we should wait for the update of Android 9.

According to firmware finder Android Pie should be the next update for our mate 20 lite

Note 8 from oreo to pie and back

Hello friends im courently on android oreo january security patch and its running flawlessly, in a couple of days android pie shoud arive and my question is before i update what shoud i check before update so that i wont have any problems if i dont like it to get it back to oreo (i only know how to use odin would that be inaf or should i check binary code to match before update because i think that it can't downgrade from a higher binery to a smaller or something else)? Im questioning this because i found on gsm arena that a lot of users having all sort of isues after update in their countries! Thank you for your time all the best! :good:

I would recommend that you visit a Cell Phone Store and check out a demo unit of the latest Samsung Flagship running Pie. Or install Pie via OTA on the shop's demo model of the Note 8. Then you can play around with it and see if you like it before deciding if you want to update. If you do any online banking via your mobile device. I would recommend install Pie onto your device anyway, as that will ensure that your device has all the latest patches for it.

There is no store that will alow me to update they demo unit? And curently the only way that i can update is to flash it true odin to some other country. But now my question is if my phones softver is currently hungary XEH oreo january sec.patch and i flash it with russian SER pie february sec.patch and dont like it because on my hungaryan there is not evan one operators bloatware app preinstalled and maybe on russian there is, can i revert? Tnx for your time ?

You could always do right there on the shop without them knowing. I have done that numerous times in the past.
If you install the stock Samsung OS and not a Russian Carrier version. You shouldn't get any Russian bloatware on your device.

In my country there is no chance for that ? and how to know if that russian SER is from operater with bloatware or not.? I had a luck to find this hungaryan XEH that is clean.
Btw my from the box was for dubai/saudi arabia and i didnt get monthly updates and phone wormed up near fingerprint sensor every time phone starts for a minut before cooling down and than working flawllesly so i flash it to hungaryan for that and got everything up to perfection?

Finished! I flashed with russian SER rom and is good! Not a single app in blootware! And i say good insted of perfect because warming when start up the phone is also ON on this version of rom but after a minute from start up everything is perfect! Pie on battery life is amazing and not a single glitch happy with update. Thumbs up!

Hello me again My question know is
I flashed my phone using odin from this version on picture (oreo 8.0 XEH-Hungarian 01.01.19 security patch)

THX for your time!

You would need to unlock the bootloader first before doing this. Which will trigger Knox.

You don't have to unlock bootloader to go back to oreo from pie!
You will just need to make sure your bootloader is the same version.
Pie firmware N950FXXS5DSB2
Oreo firmware N950FXXS5CSA2
Notice the "5" before DSB2 and CSA2 The 5 is the bootloader version!
As long as that number stays at 5 you can go back to oreo with a factory reset.

Just one question if i understand i can check numbers on sam mobile before update to keep remain 5 so that i can regularly do security paches until i turns to 6 and then stop updating, and still be able to get back to oreo? With that said i can update to march security update (second picture first firmware)?

I just saw the March update info and I would hold off installing it for now. There is a line in there that says you can't downgrade due to the security policy.....
Wait until a brave person tries it and sees.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

What firmware is this

Pretty simple, title explains it pretty well. I'm thinking the pie update is coming soon and I'm wondering if I'm going to have issues getting it. I feel like I did something to change it but can't remember what I did. Any help?

You can tell what version of Android it is just by the build number. You can also tell if each update just contains the updated security patch, or if new features were added or updated.
The first part of the build number never changes. It will start with your model number (N950U or N950U1) followed by a region code for your model number (UE for US unlocked or SQ for US carrier models). After that, there is a 5 character build number that changes with each version.
The first character (S or U) tells you if it's a security patch or a feature update. S = Security Patch and U = Feature Update (features added or changed)
The second character (a number) tells you bootloader version. This is important to know when upgrading and downgrading OS versions. You can NOT downgrade the bootloader. 1 = Bootloader V1, 2 = Bootloader v2, etc...
The third character tells you the Android version. This is different for each Galaxy device. A is the Android version that device was released with. (For the Note 8 A=Nougat; B=Nougat with updated bootloader/carrier switching; C=Oreo, D=Pie) Z is for official Samsung BETA program builds.
The fourth character is the year of the build (R=2018, S=2019). This is the same across all Galaxy devices.
The fifth character is the month of the build. This does not indicate what security patch it contains, only what month it was built. (A=January, B=February). Again, same across all Galaxy Devices.
The sixth character is just the sequence of builds that month (1-9, then A-Z)
So, official Oreo build S5CRG9 is:
S - Security Patch
5 - Bootloader V5
C - Oreo
R - 2018
G - July build
9 - 9th build in July
and leaked Pie build U5DRL7 is:
U - Feature update
5 - Bootloader V5
D - Pie
R - 2018
L - December build
7 - 7th build in December
and official Pie beta build U5ZSAB is:
U - Feature update
5 - Bootloader v5
Z - Official Samsung BETA program build
S - 2019
A - January build
B - 11th build in January
So let's break down my current build number, N950U1UEU1ZSAB
N950U1 - Build is for the Factory unlocked U1 model
UE - Region code US Unlocked
U - Feature update
5 - Bootloader v5
Z - Official Samsung BETA program build
S - 2019
A - January build
B - 11th build in January
Always make sure you know what bootloader version comes with each build before you flash it. This is especially important with the leaked builds. If you flash a leaked Pie build, and it is already updated to bootloader V6, you will be stuck there, which will really suck if its a buggy build.
As of right now, if you update to either the leaked Pie builds, or the official beta build, you can easily downgrade back to Oreo using patched ODIN. Just repeat the steps in the OP. But once Samsung updates the bootloader to V6, most likely after the official release of Pie, you won't be able to downgrade.

You can tell what version of Android it is just by the build number. You can also tell if each update just contains the updated security patch, or if new features were added or updated.
The first part of the build number never changes. It will start with your model number (N950U or N950U1) followed by a region code for your model number (UE for US unlocked or SQ for US carrier models). After that, there is a 5 character build number that changes with each version.
The first character (S or U) tells you if it's a security patch or a feature update. S = Security Patch and U = Feature Update (features added or changed)
The second character (a number) tells you bootloader version. This is important to know when upgrading and downgrading OS versions. You can NOT downgrade the bootloader. 1 = Bootloader V1, 2 = Bootloader v2, etc...
The third character tells you the Android version. This is different for each Galaxy device. A is the Android version that device was released with. (For the Note 8 A=Nougat; B=Nougat with updated bootloader/carrier switching; C=Oreo, D=Pie) Z is for official Samsung BETA program builds.
The fourth character is the year of the build (R=2018, S=2019). This is the same across all Galaxy devices.
The fifth character is the month of the build. This does not indicate what security patch it contains, only what month it was built. (A=January, B=February). Again, same across all Galaxy Devices.
The sixth character is just the sequence of builds that month (1-9, then A-Z)
So, official Oreo build S5CRG9 is:
S - Security Patch
5 - Bootloader V5
C - Oreo
R - 2018
G - July build
9 - 9th build in July
and leaked Pie build U5DRL7 is:
U - Feature update
5 - Bootloader V5
D - Pie
R - 2018
L - December build
7 - 7th build in December
and official Pie beta build U5ZSAB is:
U - Feature update
5 - Bootloader v5
Z - Official Samsung BETA program build
S - 2019
A - January build
B - 11th build in January
So let's break down my current build number, N950U1UEU1ZSAB

I'm wanting to get to pie but don't know if I should wait for the official or just figure out how to get a leak. I just don't know what I flashed or if what I did is still an issue. I'm assuming I have a debloated build and don't know if I will get an Ota update

oh boy. If you read the op forum, you would have seen a15 is a test build that got leaked on oxygen updater. Hopefully there's no major bugs and you can update when the final a15 gets released.

Hi guys i have a few questions:
1. If I have the Chinese NE2210 model of oneplus 10 pro, then I can use flash this global ROM to the phone?
2. Do I need to flash a different ROM if my OP10 pro is the 12gb/256gb compared to 8gb/128gb?
3. I heard you do not need to unlock bootloader to flash if you are using the official ROM given by OnePlus, is this true?
4. If I want to flash ROM, my current OS version needs to be any version lower than the desired OS version, whether on ColorOS or OxygenOS
5. If my stock os is COLOR OS and model NE2210 (Chinese model), and I flashed oxygen rom, can I revert back to the STOCK color os version OR any color OS version ? (in case the new flashed rom has bugs or issues on my device)
thank you

file in the link is NA not for Glo/Eu

1. YES
2. NO
3. NO. if you change from Color to Oxygen and vice versa, you need to unlock
4. NOT SURE. I don't think that matters
5. YES. Same as step 3.

connect tru Denmark vpn you will get update notification but download speed quite slow, finally you will get A14 global update.

Full zip link would be great to share, because of rooted devices.

You should just need to use the uninstall option in Magisk, hit restore images, install the OTA, then install to inactive slot and reboot in order to install the incremental OTA.

I'm on A13 I use oxygen updater and nothings come through for me as yet.

Unfortunately not, because once I root incremental update, device might start lagging in this case of OP10P, it is known

Incremental updates get the OS to exactly the same software as a full OTA of the same version so what you're saying doesn't make any sense.

But it changes only incremental files, it won't install whole system at all. It won't make sense, but it is known to happen on oneplus 10 pro once you are rooted.

Where does the download go to?
If you're rooted and you attempt to install a14 it'll fail then offer the 4.20GB full zip..
But where the hell does it download to?
