Switching from official Oneui to custom rom/ unofficial rom/ downgraded versions - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

My device model is G781B. Sw bit U5. I'm facing battery issue lately on latest April security update. So I wanted to downgrade but as my software version is U5, I couldn't do it. So can anyone guide me which custom rom and recovery I can flash and Is there any way to downgrade to previous version of oneui.

Are you using android 13 (OneUI 5)

Oh God.
I'm sorry to read that you updated from binary, going back will be a bit impossible. through odin no longer.

You will have to wait for someone to work on something for those who are in binary 5.
upgrading to binary 5 in my point of view was totally unnecessary.
Good luck colleague, hope that someone can give you a solution through root or wait for an update in May.

MMMMMMM..
Every time that OTA sends an update, the software version comes out and therefore the binary.
if you download a system to flash via odin, you force the binary.
I even warned right here about that topic.
but unfortunately, nothing can be done at the moment.

the bootloader would need to be signed again after being modified, there's very little chance of this ever being fixed.

It only remains to wait for Samsung to send an update that fixes that.
wait for a developer to send solutions via root.
I recommend you to use Kernel Bandido.
I don't know if it is compatible with binary 5.

I recieved OTA

Hello, if anyone is still looking for some OTA screenshots, or proof that the rollout has started. BTW im from Romania
Oh c'mon ! I also live in Romania and nothing yet for me... Anyone else got the OTA update ?
BTW, my carrier is telekom, but I don't think that matters
When will OTA be available in India?
Can anybody received OTA 5.0 in India?

I don't think the OTA is country specific. It's done in random batches I think.

Yes, a friend running stock ROM with no root or any modification. Btw, you can download the ota zip from android police and flash the zip using adb sideload with the help of default stock recovery.

Happy for ya, man, but please don't forget about the rest of us. From what I understand, you are one of the 1% and Google await some kinda feedback from this 1% group (sent out automatically by the device) before they proceed to the next step - the 25%. So, please... please do not f*ck with your phone for the next 24-48 hours so that it sends out a positive signal or feedback (whatever), thus making Google move ahead to the 25% phase of the rollout. Here's hoping my device is part of that 25%. *fingers crossed*
I also live in Romania, my carrier is Digi, and the N5 i own is from them. No update yet, been bugging with the check for updates button all day yesterday
I know I could force update but i wanna use the OTA because i wanna see how Google envisioned the whole upgrade experience
Also this will be the only phone i will not be messing around with.
It doesn't matter how many times you mash the "Check for update" button. I read yesterday that they rollout the update to 1% of the devices to check for issues with the upgrade. If you didn't make it in the first wave, you won't force it by checking. Then they release it to 25%, 50% and so on. You can get the OTA from HERE manually, if you want it so badly. I flashed the factory image and didn't restore anything. Be sure to get the KTU84P, as the KTU84Q is only for a very small part of the world.
Edit: I found the Reddit thread that discusses this policy.

Android System Update *root* 24.6 MB........

I was hoping someone could help me out with this......
I've been getting this irritating "Android System Update" (screenshot attached) week after week.
I'm rooted (unlocked bootloader), running stock 5.1.1
This update keeps showing up and when I go to install it, the phone reboots, then it goes it TWRP. I'm assuming this hasn't installed correctly because it keeps coming back.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this or install it correctly. It's becoming quite annoying when it pops up time after time.
Thank you-
Install the update manually or block OTAs.

So I just need to find the security patch and manually install it?
Now where to find it, LOL
I'd start by reading the stickies at the top of the thread list... Good readng.
this update would probably be LMY48I, for the stagefright patch.
what is your current build number?

The link you posted is for Galaxy Nexus (not N6). It is the same page, but a different location. You need https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
@IINexusII is likely correct that the update you received is LMY48I. So you should be able to flash that

Thank you all very much for your help.
I'll try to patch one of these updates this weekend when I have some time off.
I'm the gatekeeper for all that is Android OS in my family. Myself, my Mom and now my Dad all have Nexus 6' and I've rooted us all. So I install it on my phone first and then the same with theirs.
I was so happy I found a fix for the MLB At Bat app and their stupid blackout rules.
This is just great, been having the same issue and versions
This covered everything I had at the moment!
I applied the update tonight, sick of those damn OTA prompts.
This is where I got mine from, but still not sure if I chose the right one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052
Installed the download from:
LVY48F (5.1.1 Project Fi bugfix update 20150910)
It says Project Fi only, but I have no idea what that is. I didn't see an option for LVY48I, so I went with LVY48F.
Did I do this right?
Want to make sure I didn't screw up my phone.
I tried installing the OEM ROM from here, but it failed while trying to flash it via TWRP recovery:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
"5.1.1 (LMY48I)"
Anyone?

I've rooted and flashed tWPR recovery , so don't think can do such OTA update directly.
If anybody has latest ROM tWPR backup, I would like to try.
I restored y phone to original recovery and ROM, but after download and enter recovery, it shows ERROR
Im rooted. Unless its a big difference i dont see any means to uodate
Take out the SD card and then download the update. The phone get's funky if you have an SD card

If you have an SD card inserted to the phone, remove it before downloading the update. The phone doesn't react too well with an SD card.

Will the update go through even if using TWRP? Will it break root or cause a soft brick? I'm still running the original build that it shipped with (dated 26-12-2015 with 2015-11-01 security patch level).

1. It wouldn't be Gionee doing anything even those this phone is based off of it. 2. Look at the sites that reviewed it, it's been posted many times that it was planned to get Android 6.0 . Android Central....check gsmarena it's out there if you look.

I can't imagine BLU is doing much ROM development. Gionee almost certainly has to provide them with the MM ROM since the Vivo XL is the Gionee Elife S Plus. BLU makes some changes, sure, but they likely aren't developing a MM ROM from scratch.
Anyway, I was just curious and not that interested in reading up on it. I got this phone to be a bedside clock (AMOLED screen FTW) and as a backup in case my DD runs into problems. It was $100 and a good deal at that price, but I have no belief that it will see anything but security patch updates (and even then, I don't expect much).
They arent going to update to 6.0. It used to say that on the Blu website but after the phone launched it was removed from the Blu Vivo XL and Vivo 5 pages.
Can anyone make a flashable zip? I'm using TWRP. I tried modifiing the updater-script, but no luck so far.
I updated the radio but went to an error and now the phone is stuck on boot menu. I can't flash it because it won't connect to any computer.

Do they know the CEO of Samsung or something? This is the most frustrating Beta I've ever been apart of. Can't even test the damn thing.
Has anyone tried it on an S10 (G973F) with November security patch? And since it is asking to have checked OEM Unlock, does it unlock the bootloader?
----Edit
I've tried sideloading beta1 over ASJG didn't work I had to downgrade to ASII to make it work.
After installing beta1, playstore started telling me that my device is not certified and can not install apps like Netflix. so flashing (with CSC not HOME_CSC, so I don't know if it work with HOME_CSC) ASJG with Odin fixed the issue.

Since it's beta, it won't be certified by Google. That warning is even showing on all official betas. Netflix is a known problem and the Play version won't work. Most have been downloading Netflix from Apkmirror and that works.

First, use frija to download the proper firmeware fir you.
The boot your device into download mode and the flash it using odin (using home_csc, if it doesn't work try it again with csc) and the downloaded firmeware.
It should fix your problem as you go back to Android pie

To get to latest A10 you need to first update to last A9 1910.64, then onto A10. You need the full zips, not incremental. Most people can skip versions by doing this method, if it fails you'll have to update 1 by 1 in order of release

Sorry, I misread, I thought you were on 1908.12, 1912.22 is a wrong version I think. 1st A10 was 2001.60.
Check ur version again. Once you know which you have, go to https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Download each update in order

Your fingerprint probably doesn't match your rom. Install device info hw from playstore and check what your fingerprint is under 'system'. It'll probably be WW rom with CN fingerprint. You need to follow one of the guides to change fingerprint to be able to update manually with zip updates
