[Request] A7 2017 Edit Stock Rom - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi,
I have an A720F that uses the A720FXXU2AQFA ROM (ZTO). I need to use the old ROM A720FXXU1APLI (ZTO). For Odin it is not possible to downgrade, it gives error.
I can only upgrade to Odin, not to CWM or TRWP.
I need a solution and I can make a donation through Paypal to those who can help me.
Thanks! Sorry for my bad english!

I have a sales application that makes bluetooth connection with a card reader and marks the placement. The only version that works is the A720FXXU1APLI, then upgrade, does not work 100%. Sometimes it does not connect to BT and it also stops geolocation. I have little knowledge and every time I try to go back to the original ROM it gives an error, I researched and I saw that the problem is that the version on the phone is bigger than the one on the binary. I only know how to use Odin.
I need to be able to install an older binary on my cell phone, downgrade but odin will not let me.

In short, I need to install an older official stock rom but Odin does not allow it.
System Rev. Check fail Device: 1 Binary: 0

Not possible unless you modify the .tar.md5 by removing the .bin files in it, then tar it up and flash in odin.
The secure bootloader (sboot.bin) won't allow the downgrade of itself. Needs to be left at U3.
Modem (modem.bin) must also be left at U3, because downgrade modem to U2 while keeping the U3 bootloader will leave you with unknown network or IMEI loss untill upgraded again.
Same with cm.bin. It needs to be left at U3 afaik.

Flash this file (unrar before) via odin, (i used 3.09).

problems are:
disables the rotation sensor (cant want videos sideways)
on boot root triangle is shown(haven't tried root triangle go away yet (but disappears when you flash stock rom)
cant update SuperSu binary (manually, automatically, Superuser version fails too)
We still need CWM if anyone could help me I've setup Ubuntu (dual boot) and already made a custom rom with root using android kitchen but cannot flash it as need Recovery (odin cant execute the on flash scripts that the android kitchen compiles with the roms)

[Q] Downgrade Lollipop to Kitkat? OE1

Hello,
Is there any way to downgrade from lollipop to kit kat? Im using N910PVPU2BOE1 (I bought the cellphone with this update), I'd see post about it and some people say yes and no.
Can you explain me? Or if is possible to unlock the N910P from Sprint by unlockbox, app or similar. I need the note 4 for international use.
PS: I've another N910P with OB7. Can I do a nand backup or similar and put it n the Note 4 with OE1 ? Maybe something like clone the software
IF u r on OE1 build you cant downgrade to KITKAT .
sorry

so what I did was root using odin installed twrp from the playstore and flashed the twrp recovery from the app. once I had recovery I flashed a stock rom from the forum in twrp. that booted up fine then I hooked my phone into the pc and open kies to see if it reconized my phone and it did so I hit the tools tab at the top of the program and clicked on firmware upgrade and initialization and it stared updating my phone back before the oel update

Flashing to u1 firmware

Here is what I did.
Used modified ODIN
flashed all the files for u1 in the proper slots
Did not use Home_CSC home csc files are for modifying existing firmware not flashing to new firmware.
there was no userdata firmware.
and yes I do get updates
Wifi calling also works so does VOLTE
Edit the CSC firmware I am using is TMB
If I update my galaxy S8+ to the latest firmware via Odin what's the consequences after all. Cause I still have the firmware since the launch date (April). Will I be able to get update when they have available after I get the latest firmware via Odin.. Please let me know

S7 Active AT&T - Oreo

Does anyone have an idea when the S7 active potentially might see Oreo via OTA update?
Is it hard to install on your own via root or whatever?
Thanks.

you can already use stock recovery to flash it... Just make sure you flash the previous OTA updates until BRB5 are the last 4 characters of your baseband in settings -> about -> software info
I'm running the first oreo listed on that link on my S7 Active, not sure if the others will work, but once you are on BRB5, just copy the oreo zip to the root of your MICRO SD card, reboot into stock recovery, select install zip from sd card, and select the file... to do this, you cannot be rooted, if your system status shows as custom, flash nougat with odin... if you need it the odin files as well asall previous OTA updates are listed in the website as well. Just remove /OTA/Oreo from the end of the url
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/OTA/Oreo/
let me know how it goes, i'm happy with it, it has the S8 style launcher and app icons, and the new AOD, but unfortunately, no live infinity wallpapers :/
remember to hit thanks
HI

There is no s7 active oreo rom in ODIN flashable format available yet, but you can update by flashing nougat, and flashing two ota flashable zip files in stock recovery. If you go to this website, and click the blue download button, you can extract the downloaded file with 7zip, or winrar, and flash the md5 files in ODIN, and you will then be on stock android nougat. You can then copy this zip file to your phone's external micro sd card, without extracting it, and use stock recovery mode (turn off, then volume up + home + power) to "apply update from sd card", or if you don't have a micro sd card, click "apply update from adb" and look up "how to use adb sideload" on google. Once it's done updating, do the same thing with this zip file, using stock recovery and "apply update from sd card" or using "apply update from ADB", and you will be on android 8.0 oreo. you can always use the first file you downloaded to go back to stock nougat if you don't like oreo, but it's working great for me!

It should work, make sure you have the usb drivers installed, the LATEST VERSION of odin (older versions may get stuck), and make sure your phone is in download mode (hold down power + volume down + home until a blue screen appears. click volume up). Then, open odin, connect your phone, and add the four .tar.md5 files extracted from the link you quoted. It works for me, but if it doesn't, try this file instead. let me know how it goes

Oh, i see. You're on bootloader version 3. In that case, there is most likely nothing you can do to fix the phone. Just wait patiently for an odin flashable version of oreo for the s7 active, which should have bootloader 3 out of the box, and that should work. At this point, it is simply a waiting game. I really can't do anything for you, wish I could, but I unfortunately do not have the knowledge to modify bootloader versions yet. So, patience is key. Cheers!

actually, has anyone confirmed if unlocking the aboot allows bootloader downgrades on the s7 active? i also found this on the download site: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/root/unlockg891aboot.tar
Try flashing this in the AP slot in odin to unlock the aboot partition, then flash the nougat from the link i gave before, using just the AP file from the firmware in the AP slot, and don't use the BL, CP, OR CSC slots

i have an idea.... i'll try taking a backup of my working oreo installation and converting it into a flashable tar file for odin...
can you tell me what error the phone shows when you try to flash the nougat? does it have a sw rev check fail or secure check fail?

i realize now that the issue with my idea is... root... root is not achieved on oreo yet... and the firmware.mobi website upload to dropbox doesn't work, just refreshes after clicking start upload. So i'm stuck. But, if somebody could provide an image i could flash to root oreo on the s7 active, i will be able to make an odin .tar.md5
but i can not without root :/
One other thing you could try is extracting the ota zip for oreo you previously had, take the boot.img from it, compress the boot.img into a tar file, and then try flashing that with odin, in the AP slot. let me know how it goes, my phone is in a boot loop cause i tried an older root method :/
luckily, i used an earlier oreo OTA file, so i'm still on BL2

Ok, after lots of digging through the ota zip, i believe i may have one step towards a solution.
But i need you to check it, as if it does work, it will update my phone to bootloader 3, which i would rather not do, since you already have bootloader 3, and it can't worsen the situation
now that i think about it, i could try flashing this on my currently installed marshmallow, after rooting, then try making the odin .tar.md5, but with the bootloader 3, so you can downgrade back to marshmallow. what do you think?
Try flashing the attached bootloader file, which i made for bootloader 3:
let me know if it works, thanks.. i might have a method for the system, too
EDIT NO STOP! i forgot a bin file, fixing now
EDIT 2 OK, SHOULD BE ALL GOOD NOW!
EDIT 3 I'M BRICKED NOW, but did see the new bootloader android logo at the bottom after flashing, then black screen qualcomm 9008

you can already use stock recovery to flash it... Just make sure you flash the previous OTA updates until BRB5 are the last 4 characters of your baseband in settings -> about -> software info
I'm running the first oreo listed on that link on my S7 Active, not sure if the others will work, but once you are on BRB5, just copy the oreo zip to the root of your MICRO SD card, reboot into stock recovery, select install zip from sd card, and select the file... to do this, you cannot be rooted, if your system status shows as custom, flash nougat with odin... if you need it the odin files as well asall previous OTA updates are listed in the website as well. Just remove /OTA/Oreo from the end of the url

let me know how it goes, i'm happy with it, it has the S8 style launcher and app icons, and the new AOD, but unfortunately, no live infinity wallpapers :/
remember to hit thanks

Hey I'm already running BRB5, do i need to rename the zip to update.zip or anything like that? also how do I send it to the root of the sd card, I just copied it into the regular file, does it need to be sent through a computer?

Nah, use stock to flash CRC7 AS IS, NOT ANYTHING NEWER... My phone is now pernaneantly bricked due to me flashing an older bootloader from a new one

Oh that sucks, is there any way to flash it back to original stock through adb? I think I'll just wait for the software update to come through the carrier, I don't wanna risk that
AND THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY!! I was minutes away from flashing CRD4, you saved me big time

I had a similar problem and this may be helpful. I tried to do the "FRP Bypass Method Using Odin" and afterwards the phone would not boot or flash any other roms (Odin checksum errors). After investigating I found one of the last version of 7.0 changes the bootloader to v3. Once this happens you cannot go back to any v2 firmware. It also makes some versions of modified Odin not work (including the one included in tpierce89's FRP Bypass). After much frustration I tried a different Odin and was able to flash V3 roms. I used "Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.exe" . Here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572

okay thanks a bunch which ones were the V3 roms? i cant remember
I am not where I can check right now but the fifth to the last digit of the baseband version will have a "3" rather than a "2". An Oreo (android 8) ROM example is G891AUCU3CRE7. I think there was 1 or 2 Android 7 roms that used boot loader 3. Once you get one flashed that will work you can update to other versions. Tonight I will try to post the one that worked for me.

When I said above you can update to other versions, I mean only newer versions with bootloader v3. My understanding is that you cannot go back to v2.

oooh i see, ill try to find one but please do pm or post it if possible
The Android 7 ROM that has bootloader v3 is G891AUCS3BRD1. The key was that I had to use the "Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.exe." to do the flash or it would fail.
