Downgrade firmware question.

I have a ATT s7 edge. I was running on g935AATT4CRE4. Oreo. I found a firmware that was a 935U firmware. I flashed it with Odin with no problems. I liked it a lot. I wanted to go back and compare the 2. I know, kind of dumb. I had issues flashing original firmware listed above. I did some research, I downloaded latest att software and flashed it. Worked fine. Here is Build number G935AUCS8CRK1 . Now I cannot go back and flash the 935u firmware. I have noticed the 5th digit from the end is now 8 and not 4. Could this be issue? Any ideas.

G935UOYM4BQD2 this is unlocked firmware

You are correct. There is an 8 version on the U firmware that will work though

Any idea where I can find the u version?

Found it on Sam mobile. Thanks

Is there a place to download this firmware without paying?

I found version 8 935u firmware. Used odin correctly. It flashed and said passed in green. Kept rebooting to samsung power on screen. What am I doing wrong?

You need to download and flash the SM-935U 8.0 firmware that matches your baseband version exactly if you scroll down you will see an USA(AT&T) version that matches your baseband that is the one you need.

So just to clarify. My baseband is G935AUCS8CRJ2 can I flash this Unlocked firmware? G935UUEU8CRJ2
If so, do I use all of the parts in Odin, or just AP?

Thank u very much. I had flashed the wrong 935u firmware 4 times and had to go back to 935a. USing your direction, I am on 935a

Cant revert back to the fw originally on my phone (after flashing that ATT pie fw)

N960W, Snapdragon (so no root / bl unlock)
I flashed the Oreo FW after trying the Pie fw from ATT (link was around here somewhere - it required flashing in Odin as well as a local recovery zip flash - two separate files)
Now Odin fails and the phone shows "An error has occ ured while updating the device software" and wont boot. I've downloaded and am trying to flash the official pie update originally for my phone that just came out a few days ago (N960WVLU1CSAA or something like that)

Are you using the patched ODIN? If so it should work just fine. Try a factory reset in Recovery, then boot directly to Download mode and flash it again.

Yea I'm using the patched version.
I will try this next. I flashed the ATT oreo and then XAC version but didnt include CSC this time and it flashed but it boot loops.
I'm currently flashing all of XAC and if it fails then I will reflash ATT oreo, factory reset in recovery and dirctly flash xac oreo.

I'm realizing this now. I flashed N960U fw for ATT and now I cant flash N960W either oreo or pie :/
I just want to revert back to N960W fw, either oreo so I can update via official ota, or pie fw and be done with it -_-
Help!

What is happening? Is ODIN failing? And at what point does it fail? Or does ODIN finish flashing and day "Pass"?

Odin (patched) gets right to the end and fails, followed by the download mode error mentioned earlier.
I can successfully flash ATT fw 8.1.0 (AT&T_N960USQS1ARJA), but cant flash anything else (Canadian XAC 8.1.0 or Pie).
I am contemplating downloading and flashing the ARL1 fw from the same att source

sounds like a bad download. Re-download your Canadian firmware and try it again.

Shouldn't the OP be fleshing the firmware that is for his exact model?

The Pie fw (Canadian XAC, N960WVLU1CSAA or something like that, I don't have my laptop handy right this minute) is for my model (N960W) specifically but won't flash. I'm currently able to flash and use 8.1.0 few made for N960U, which is the AT&T ARJA fw.

I started off with the Roger's fw for 8.1.0 and wanted to try pie so I followed a guide to flash some pie build which I believe was the UK version, and when I realized I hated it, i had to follow a guide to revert back to oreo but a different source, thatz where the at&t oreo fw came from.
Now, i want to revert back to the official fw for my phone so i can choose to officially ota to pie, which is not possible right now because I'm stuck on at&t oreo, and pie just became available for me.

To download it.
The reason I was avoiding this was because Canadian carrier versions (including the Roger's fw) don't seem to have mobile data and hotspot toggles and they also have unnecessary bloat, so I figured if I'm gonna flash a fw, I'll just flash the full Canadian unlocked fw to stay away from bloat and carrier restrictions.

What is your CSC? I'll check SamFirm myself tonight or tomorrow.

Ok so I re-downloaded the Canadian XAC Pie FW, did a factory reset (via recovery), and then Odin (patched) flashed the XAC Pie fw, and guess what!!! PASS.
It must have been a bad download this entire time, or possibly the issue was that I unchecked the option CRC32 in SamFirm.
Thank you guys for all the help. OMG

Downgrade from Pie back to Oreo because of the camera app

Hi,
I've wanted to try a One UI Pie rom, which I did, I like the new user interface, hate the new camera. I put my feedback on One UI as a PS at the end.
I believe one of the ROMs i tried required me to update bootloader to Pie. Is there a way to downgrade to Oreo, so i can install Oreo ROMS? I tried 2 ROMs and i get a boot loop on both.
Thanks,
Daniel
PS: One UI feedback: Used to be able to take either video or picture one click away, now it's 2. You used to be able to bind the Bixby button to Camera+Take picture with BxButtons, and volume keys to video. No longer possible with Pie. You don't know how important that is untill you went to the mountains, and you need some phisical buttons to use with your gloves. And most important, adding the Dual Shot mod is no longer possible, which was taking the same picture or video with both front and back cameras, which is again verry important for me.

We need to know what your current "Build Number" is on the phone. You also can't downgrade to other bootloaders that are lower then your current one, so if you're on bootloader 5 you need to use the Oreo bootloader 5 version firmware or it will not work.

That's not a normal Samsung firmware.. Where are you from? Was that phone rooted or something? Considering that you have a different rom on the phone it looks like it's bootloader unlocked.. I'm assuming you're not from the USA and that your phone is a N950F correct?

He is asking for the "N950FXXS5CSA2" firmware to see what bootloader you are on. (Bootloader # is the 5th spot from the right. This case the "5" from "5CSA2" IS THE BL. Version)
Usually it's in about phone/software/ baseband if not there it should say in download mode (look for B: # (# could be 1 to 5)) few lines down I think.
If your on bl. Version 5 you can be able to flash any N950FXXS5..... firmware but not lower like N950FXXU4......

Hi, yes the bootloader is unlocked, I have a custom ROM, and my device is Rooted.
Baseband version N950FXXU5DSB1. So N950F, bootloader 5 I guess from what @BluePhnx said. Is there a direct connection between Bootloader 5 and android PIE? Or can Oreo ROMs be compatible with this bootloader?
Thank you for helping me clarify!

The only connection the bootloader plays is when you go from pie to oreo.
For eg. Oreo is N950FXXS5CSA2
Pie is N950FXXS5DSB2
As long as the bootloader is the same "5" you can go back and forth between pie and oreo.
BUT once you go to a, for eg. let say August security patch for pie, firmware with N950FXXU"6"DSB4 (this has bootloader version 6) then you can NOT go back to oreo. Because the bootloader won't downgrade itself, it will only stay at version 6 or go higher to version 7 and so on.
So if you want to go back make sure the bootloader stays at version 5....

See what @BluePhnx said? That's what I was trying to explain but he explained it better.. If you want to know what bootloader version you're on you do this see N950FXXU5DSB1 what you do is start at the very END and count backwards 5 letters/numbers and you end up on the number 5 like N950FXXU((5))DSB1 that equals bootloader version 5 but if you see something like this N950FXXU((6))DSB1 then it's bootloader 6 and if you were to flash that one you can never go back to bootloader 5 again it only goes forward but @BluePhnx explained it much better!

What is your CSC?
Warning I haven't done this yet since I'm staying on pie. So do it on your own risk! I'm just saying what other people done.. Also I would've done it myself too.
Download the last oreo firmware for your CSC. (The one before Pie.)
Download Odin 3.13.1 or the latest version on computer.
Flash Oreo and home-CSC
But if it doesn't work or you get lots of force closures messages then do this steps.
WARNING!!!! this will erase all data off phone so backup FIRST!
Factory reset phone
Flash OREO with CSC file (NOT the home-CSC)
(What I've read people are saying to do the factory reset option for it to work. I haven't tried it myself since I'm staying in pie. That's why I included the first option.)

The problem is most custom ROMs don't actually tell you the firmware code or bootloader version. And I only saw 1 ROM that actually told me that it will update the bootloader to PIE (without specifying the actual version). Do you have any pointers on what should I look for when installing a custom ROM to prevent upgrading bootloader (besides when the ROM actually specifies the Bootloader version of firmware code?

The rom should say what firmware it is based on. Like N950FXXU5DBS2. If not you can ask.
Eg. N950FXXU5DBSA2 - the "5" in ....5DBSA2 is the bootloader version.
You'll can check for your bootloader version in download mode.
Here is a screenshot: (not mine just an eg.)
But you should be able to flash back to an oreo bootloader as long as the bootloader version is the same.

Cannot open PIE after OTA upgrade last Friday.
After upgrade with previous release and security patch of 1st of January I checked somewhere last week and there was n upgrade then.
Last Friday I did see a new OTA update from Samsung and installed it, upgrading to PIE.
After restart I get an error with the SIM card slot. I have a dual SIM version in Spain PHE.
I am unable to use phone now.
Everything original. Only did the dual SIM + memory card. Which has been working perfect for me with OREO.
Which version would I need?
Did the official PIE update change the bootloader version as well?
I just need the double SIM and the memory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No there isn't. That I know of.
Pie needs the pie bootloader.
I think the only way is to root your phone and have a dev port the pie firmware to work with the oreo bootloader. If possible!
But you "should" be able to flash the 1rst pie release firmware and then go back to the last oreo firmware with a factory reset. (Not certain though so. )

How to Downgrade to Oreo - N9500 Bootloader3

Hi.
I just received the Pie update to my Not8 256GB.
First I would like to check the actual version of my phone. I assume it's simple a N9500, but I guess I need to double confirm. How can I be 100% sure ?
Second, current my version shows N9500ZHU4DSE7. From what I have read, it should be bootloader 3. And normally I should be able to downgrade back to Oreo. I am just unsure how, and which firmware I should use.
Also if I downgrade, will I lose the phone internal data ?
Only reason why I NEED to downgrade : the software block to prevent using 2 sims and one sd card !

"N9500"ZHU4DSE7 is SM-N9500
N9500ZHU"4"DSE7 is the bootloader version. You are on ver. 4
You can't go back to bootloader version 3 or below! Bootloader won't allow it!
Fine the last oreo bootloader ver. That has bl. Ver 4 in the firmware.
Yes you would lose your data going from pie to oreo!
The last oreo firmware is N9500ZCU4CSA1 look on sammobile.com for your model and firmware.

Thank you for confirming what I also managed (in the meantime) to confirm.
Losing all data is a NO go for me
I could back up everything with Smart Switch, but not the entire Secure Folder

Which firmware are you on?
If you are on the latest firmware with N9500ZU"5".... you can NOT go back to Oreo!
Or if on N9500ZU"4".... try this below....
Did you try factory resetting your device before flashing that firmware.
Use all 4 files, AP, CP, BL, and with the CSC file (not the home-CSC file).

For the love of god, why can I not flash T-Mobiles firmware in patched Odin? It fails

I'm not new around here, and I've used Odin many times, but I am trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware on my S10 and it fails EVERY DANG TIME!!!!!!!!! I have all the file selected, and again it's the patched Odin, I just do not understand. PLEASE, help me. Image is attached.

Please for the love of god someone help I will paypal someone 20 dollars if they can help me figure out why it always fails.

I am currently downgrading from Beta 7 to Pie 9 BSIV as we speak on my Sprint S10 using ODIN 3.13.1. Did you download the software using Frija? I am also on a Sprint phone flashing Sprint firmware, is the phone you have originally from T Mobile? If you didn't download the firmware using Frija I would re download it using that and try it.

Download most recent firmware using frija. I bet the one you trying to flash is older than what the phone is currently on. You can't flash older firmware no matter what even if using patched Odin.

abl.efl is bootloader, it is normal to fail at bootloader, cause that bootloader is older than the actually one you do have.
You either have to remove bootloader from firmware (if you can), or flash another firmware with the same - or higher bootloader.
Why don't you use stock Odin?
