Possible Solutions Are
1)You can wait for next official OTA by samsung regarding fixing the issue
2)You can download previous Official 7.0 Build Which you were using from Sammobile.com or Samfirm.com And Flash It Using Odin (Kindly Don't Forget to enable OEM Unlocking And USB Debugging Options From Developers Options Before flashing anything using Odin is always recommended to avoid DM-verity/SW-Check Fails/Custom Binary Blocked By FRP like issues)
3)You can root your device and Try any custom or stock rooted/patched kernel for your device which will probably solves above mentioned issues OR Simply flash any custom nougat based N5 or S8+ Roms
Note:-
Rooting will void your warranty as well as trigger Knox flag, so if your not much familiar with Rooting And Falshing Custom Roms Simply Dont try this Or Try At Your Own Risk
Hi!
Can anyone tell me what do I need to downgrade from Android 9 to Android 8 without rooting my Note 8?
I have Odin 3.13.1, also I found original firmware on Samsmobile - PDA N950FXXS5CRK4 and CSC N950FMSR5CRHA
Currently installed is N950FXXU5DSC2
Do I need anything else?
Do I need first to do factory reset and then revert back to Oreo or it can be done straight away?
I don't like Pie because call recording doesn't work. I already knew that, but some users reported that it still working on their devices after Pie update, so I wanted to try myself.
Call recording is one of the features that I use every day and I need it, but I'm using Samsung pay, so I can't root my device.
Thanks!

You don't need anything else, I believe. The firmware you found will be able to downgrade to Oreo, so you're in luck.
Downgrading and going back to Oreo via Odin might potentially factory reset your device which includes formatting your internal storage. Just be aware of that and backup all your files and important stuff.
Yes, I know that internal storage can be formatted
I asked just to check myself, because I didn't do anything for years, since I had Note 1 [emoji16]
Thanks!

Please tell me.
Have you downgraded from PIE to Oreo. I'm also interested to downgraded from PIE to Oreo due to below mention reason.
After updating to PIE, i'm note able to use hybrid sim slot on my Galaxy Note 8. When i insert hybrid in Galaxy note 8 Pie, POPUP appears says sim card tray slot problem, but phone has read both behind and memory card. Pop does not get disable and stuck on the screen. Forcefully i need to remove the slot and reverse back to 1 sim and MC
I downgrade to this version n950fxxs5csb3 without problem, all working perfect and in this version dont have the update notification to pie
Just make sure to full wipe your device and use de csc file, not the home scs; by that way will make a full erase into the proces to device

You have updated to bootloader ver. 6
N950FXXU "6" DSE3
OERO stopped at bootloader ver. 5
N950FXXS "5" DSC2
Their is nothing you can do to downgrade now! The bootloader 6 won't allow itself to be downgraded to ver. 5 only will go UP in ver. 7, 8, etc....

There isn't a way to wipe the entire phone?
This sucks big time.
Can I at least still root my phone?

You are stuck with that bootloader. No way around it.
Yes you can still root. Just make sure you know what you will lose by doing so, like Samsung pay and secure folder, will never ever get these back as it trips the Efuse (it would require a motherboard replacement to fix)
Thanks for the advice. I really want the phone recording capability back that got disabled with the Pie update. You wouldn't happen to know of a workaround to make phone recording work again on Android 9?

The thread below claims "Pie Call Recording Working"
It is not something that I have used or even looked into, hopefully it will help you...

If you're going to root and have to factory reset your device anyway, you might as well flash a custom ROM. I would recommend Dr. Ketan's ROM. It's pretty good with very little to no problems, and has call recording added by default and enabled.

Depends on the custom rom
If it is a note rom, then all spen features are still intact
If it's a s9 rom for example, then not.

It does work,tried it,used INS.
Only thing was there was no 'choice' to do a recording.
You either have to record all or just certain numbers.
There was no 'start' recording button,at least not in the rom I used,stock/standard default UK rom.
May be it is different feature if flash different rom or different csc like THL maybe?
Also inserting and booting with a sim that has call recording feature,INS-India,THL-Thailand works.
Basically does the same as the link.
I also flashed oreo but couldn't stop the update nag so just let it update back to pie.

Despite what Reaper1337 said, all ROMs are based on the stock Note 8 firmware, which means all the included SPen functions and features are intact and working. You can't flash S9 ROMs to the Note 8 and I'm not aware of any ROMs that were directly ported from the S9, thereby removing SPen features. All ROMs that are "S9 ports" just bring certain apps and things from the S9 over while still keeping the base Note 8 features intact.
In short: all ROMs will work like the stock firmware, with the exception of the one project which's name I forgot that's essentially stock Android. But it's incompletely and terribly unstable and buggy, so I wouldn't suggest that anyway.
I've got a Samsung Note 9 demo, the SM-N960XU. I work for a living as one of the people that install dummies and demos across my state. We had a run of installs when the Note 10 launched, and Samsung didn't ask for the Note 9 back.
Demo mode is fully and properly removed. Seen a few threads asking about that, or having trouble trying to flash over top of that. No problems, I've got a copy of the install and uninstall instructions. (Spoiler alert, it's really easy when you know the password.)
I've been using it as the equivalent of an iPod touch for a few months now. But it's on Android version 8, and I'd love to rock a newer version, preferably stock.
I know that there is no modem inside the device. Is it possible to just flash the device to stock ROM and not check the modem box, or will that soft brick it? I haven't flashed an Android phone since my LG Nexus 5, so I figure it might be worth asking before I try.

So did you try?
That should work, theoretically...
Ok, I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 5 N920I with Android Nougat 7.0 and the charging port on it recently went out on me and I would like to re-root it. I am wondering if there may be any way that I can manually root it without having to hook it to a PC even if that means doing EVERYTHING myself? I say re-root because I recently had it rooted but I decided to upgrade to Nougat 7.0 so I had to un-root it.
This phone i have i bought recently.I would like help rooting this phone so i can remove stuff i don't need.
The only problem is the OEM unlock is missing from the Dev Options.I have looked for many ways to unlock this option and i am scratching my head.
It's been a while since i tried to Rooting...Would like some kinda video and guide.
Not worried about the Warranty BS i own the phone.
FYI Edit: the android version is 12 and recently updated as of yesterday.
Current update (G781U1UEU7EVE4)
the short, painful truth... you can't unlock, root or do anything with that phone other than flash stock firmware.

There was a solution for Android 10 oneui 2.5. I was assured by a samsung rep that a second s20 fe 5g phone I ordered would have android 10 and oneUI 2.5. I wanted a twin for the phone I'm using that is comfortably rooted. When the phone arrived it had android 12 and oneUI 4.0. I can wait for a solution.I am hoping one will eventually arrive. Has anything become available recently or should I dash my hopes of ever rooting my second?
