Hey guys
I updated my phone my Galaxy S8 (Verizon) by sideloading the leaked Oreo update a few months back but now that Verizon is officially a pushing out Oreo I need to revert back to Nougat and get the OTA Oreo instead.
My issue is I can't seem to find the stock Verizon firmware for the regular GS8
Can anybody help?
What's up everyone. I have a SM-G9GOU1, Galaxy S9 US unlocked. I recently installed the beta update to 9.0 Pie with the new One UI by following the instructions here at XDA. Yesterday, I got the official stable update by downloading it at SamFirm application. I entered the properly CSC of my device which is XAA and installed the new firmware by Odin. The device is so much more smooth and stable now. So, my doubt is, will I continue receiving posterior OTA updates, or I need to flash the stock ROM which is a Oreo version? The firmware is official and the CSC matches. Thanks everyone for your attention. Every answer is helpful.
So, I currently have a samsung s7 active that I purchased used, unlocked but was using AT&T with the AT&T firmware on itat the time. I upgraded it to Oreo universal firmware
It's currnet running info is
Baseband: G891AUCS5CSB1
Android Version: 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version: 9.0
Android security patch level: February 1, 2019
How would I go about downgrading back to Nougat but the Universal firmware?
I'm quite new to the android system, and all the guides seem to have different steps to use and there seems to be a million firmwares for each version.
I was looking at the thread linked here, and there seems to be 3 of the same firmware that are all different somehow???
What would be the best, easiest, and quickest firmware to use and guide to follow? I want to go back to Nougat with the universal firmware and my phone to remain unlocked of course
any help is greatly appreciated. thanks!
the problem with this dam phone is the locked bootloader! snapdragon samsung sucks... PLUS it was exlusive to ATT
such a shame. a phone with an AMAZING camera even today and the BEST design for its time... only to be locked to AT&T, LOCKED snapdragon and really ****ty stock software super lame
because of this I'm not sure the thing can be downgraded
Hello, is that the case then? That the S7 Active can't be downgraded back to android v.7 Nougat ? I'm hoping that it can, as AT&T just forced the v.8 Oreo into my S7 this morning, and now I no longer have the very useful 'Usage Manager' app. =( I used it more than any other app, to enable/disable mobile data on the fly, and kill all running apps in background, etc etc.
Please let it be..... downgradable !=(
I brought this Koran flip andriod phone a few months back on ebay & the latest update it has atm is Android 6.0.1
I was wondering if anyone has any success flashing Andriod Nougat on it since G1650 has Nougat firmware for it? (China version I think)
I tried flashing the lastest G1650 firmware to my G6165N via Odin & no luck so far. Just throws an error about can't read firmware if I recall.
im looking to downgrade a Verizon S9 running the latest firmware CSK5 to an oreo Firmware so i can get root with the newly found exploit from here on the forums. so my question is, is it possible to downgrade if your on the latest firmware?
