So i would like to opt out of the beta program and downgrade back to 5.1.1. Only problem is that i don`t know how. Samsung tells me to use Smartswitch but gives no detailed step by step instructions. So is there anyone who could give a short guide on how to safely downgrade?

Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!
@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.
Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful
Regards!

Hi, I haven't had an android in a long time and I am looking at purchasing a Z5, now I've read somewhere once you upgrade to 7.0 you can not downgrade? is this true? what is the downgrande process step by step if it is possible? As I want to put a specific MM ROM on the device and if I can not downgrade 100% I will not buy it.
Any advice/information is appreciated
You have to select to wipe everything in flashtool, then it's possible
Yes, By using flashtool
you can flash between any versions of android since the starting point of the device

hi
has anyone tried to downgrade from android 11 to 10 using msmool?
if so, would you be able to share the instructions?
thanks
Idk if OPPO allows downgrade, but in case it does you can just download A10 specific to your device.
Then follow this guide.
Downgrade is possible, but it's impossible to use the msmdownloadtools without authorized account from oppo. You can probably find some GSM service that could flash it.
Hello! Is it even possible to downgrade this phone from Android 11 to Android 10? If yes please guide me on how to do this.
Yes it's possible to downgrade to OneUI 2.0
Download A10 ROM specific to your device.
Download ODIN flash tool (Direct Link).
Follow this guide.
