Anyone can tell me is it possible to safely downgrade to marshmallow from Nougat using Odin via flashing stock S6 firmware? or anyone has succesfully done this?
Yes, it is possible and can be done safely.
Is safe because bootloader binary code is still 5 on nougat
But why would you want to downgrade?

Because S-Health is not working in Nougat as I have tripped knox so I have to first install S Health in marshmallow and then I have to upgrade via OTA to keep S Health working!

Knox will remain tripped even if you update ota, so probably S Health won't work

You can backup S-Health with Smart Switch. If you reset phone restore the S-Health backup. It may be works.

bro you can make s health work without downgrading .... just root your android nouget .. then install an app (name = BuildProp ) from playstore .. then go to youtube and type (Fix Your device has been compromised s health) you will find a 16 sec video (I am a new user so cannot paste an external link ) .. Trust me It worked :good: thanks :good:

There is no way to downgrade from nougat to lollipop, odin will fail, probably you downgrading from first 6.0.1 version to previous 5.1.1
is this good or bad because it took me forever to charge it then after 2h I lost 40% LOL ? What kind of rom is this ?

I flashed Nougat (925F) 2 days ago with Flashfire, as 925I didn't received Nougat yet, first boot worked, then bootlooped. Bootloader still showed up as Nougat, I know it as I had to do a factory reset after flashing. All I did was download 5.1.1 ZTO and flashed with "Odin 3.10.(forgot exact version)" and all went fine
I think to downgrade to MM too, nougat is very smooth and fast, no bug (XEF), but the battery drains faster than MM

Hi,
I have Smasung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F
I recently updated from Andriod 5.1.1 to 6.0.1. After this update my whatsapp and viber calls are dropping after few seconds.
I tried to change app permissions and power saving features, but didnt solve it.
Please let me know if anyone can help
Thanks...
Did you uninstall and reinstall?

Much more likely a software issue on your phone specifically.
Tons of people have recently updated to MM and there would be massive reports around the web if WhatsApp broke for a good number of them.
If you're rooted you could try manually removing the app data for the apps after uninstalling. Then reinstall. Could clear cache, etc. Otherwise a factory reset might be needed.
It happen to me something like that , I flashed custom rom(6.0.1) , I cant remember which rom and I flashed another custom rom (6.0.1) , this time everything was ok so it is not about android 6 update . Try to change rom

my phone is rooted, so i might try on it. the same exact thing happened for my girl friend's phone, which isnt rooted.
would appreciate if you can also give me an alternative for that.
Ya happened me but I had a titanium backup of WhatsApp. So I uninstalled it and restored it. Worked perfectly.
When I got the MM update (stock) I then did a fresh install of Xtrestolite ROM and that ultimately sorted any issue I had
Hey guys,
It sounds like that neither SHealth nor private mode is working when the phone is rooted. In MM I just used XTouchwiz and made the device status official. What needs to be done to get both working in rooted Nougat? I´ve already seen some roms which figured out, but I want to know how it is done so can use a rooted stock rom.
Thanks in advance
Why not deinstall SHealth as a system-app and reinstall it using the Samsung app-shop. It worked for me on MM.

Is it really that simple on Nougat? Some users report that a tripped knox is preventing SHealth from starting. I´d be suprised if this method tricks the system.

I am rooted, so Knox definetly is ticked and SHealth was deinstalled and then reinstalled using the Samsung app-shop (as written above). And SHealth is happily counting steps and stuff. So, for me it is working on a rooted S7!

Hmm OK. But did you also update SHealth from the Samsung app store? Did you debloat your device and delete knox? Can you check if private mode still works?
Thanks for your replies guys.
I confirm, since I updated to official Nougat BTU yesterday, S-Health doesn't work anymore. Knox tripped but 100% official installation without root anymore (on top, factory reset done before moving to Nougat).
When I open the app, it says the device security has been compromised and that Knox cannot work. Samsung just decided to limit the usage or our phone if Knox is tripped, even if the phone isn't rooted!!
Hi!
My phone has tripped KNOX, S Health didn't working on fresh Nougat install.
After I rooted my S7 with Nougat, I deleted the current S Health files in system/app and I download an older (4.8 maybe) version of program from apkmirror and install it as "normal" application, then this updated with newest one from play store and it working good.
Sorry for my English

In this method the wipe is necessary. I can't find other working root solution at this time
While the device is not rooted actually, (KNOX Warranty Void 0x1 already) S Health can't working, that is must have to me.
Or Or
Warranty is not complete void by EU Law. Samsung can only void what they offer beside the minimum regulations.
I have right now also a phone i can not really use for Internet (ads) and it is carrying some social-media-bloatware. Need to wait for updates of CF Autoroot or what else.
Also S Health working fine in LineageOS 14.1 for me. Install Health Service APK (Google) ans S Health from Playstore
Just download version 4.8 and it works like a charm with nougat if you're rooted, have to uninstall the original s health with maybe titanium backup and then download from here

Try set ro.config.tima to 0 in your build.prop. If that doesn't work then you'll need a patched AuthFramework.
Hi Guys,
I had recently updated my Oneplus One to 5.0.2 through OTA system updates. Now I wanted to update the same to 5.1.1 (i.e OS 12.1). But the problem is that I am not able to see the system updates anymore. It says the System is up to date whereas it's not the case in reality. It also asks to update cyanogen recovery, which I ignore. Attaching the snapshots of device for your reference.
The device is NOT rooted. I tried switch OFF and Switch ON multiple times. I also manually force stopped the System Update app, cleared it's cache, disabled it then enabled it. tried all combinations for the same. But no luck.
Can someone please advice what should I do to see the system updates as usual the way I was seeing earlier? Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot for this information. In that thread, its mentioned that "there are two different versions of some OTA updates." In such a case can I go ahead and install any of the zip file? I will be downloading the incremental updates which are similar to System updates. Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I actually have that app and it shows me the new update for 5.1.1 too. But the issue is when I first tried to update thru this app from kitkat to 05Q update, it somehow messed up my device. The zip installed was somehow corrupt due to which the installation had issues. Thats why I am actually worried to take that risk again.
That screwed up installation thru that app was the reason why I switched to OTA system updates which updated from 05Q to 5.0.2 lollypop. And now I cant see cyanogen system updates as it seem to have died.
Are you sure that app has no issues at all? Have you updated till 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 using that app? Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your help man. But flashing and factory reset will wipe the mobile data I guess. I don't really want to do that. I need to keep the mobile data intact. Also, will it be advisable to jump from 5.0.2 to 6.0 directly? Or should I go incrementally only?

I can also see the full update option. But if I do full update directly, will it wipe all data from my device? I am not sure about it. Can you confirm whether your data was wiped when you updated from Kitkat to the latest marshmallow thru this App? That would help me decide. Or if anyone else can confirm the same, that would also help.

Hey, XDA-ers!
I got the Android Nougat 7.0 update for my Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD (DUOS) back in January if I remember correctly. And the update process went like how it normally does. But ever since I got the Nougat update, my phone restarts randomly for no reason. At first it used to restart when I click on the 'Recent Apps' button to switch between apps. When I tap on the button, the phone vibrates and restarts. The phone never over heated before this happens. During this, the phone used to restart 2-3 times a day. This went on for 2 months. Then now, the number of restarts reduced to 1-2 per day, but the problem still persists. And now, it restarts even when I don't touch the 'Recent Apps' button. So, if any of you has had a similar experience or if any of you could help me out Please share it here. It would be GREAT!
Also just one more thing- Any of you seen any DRASTIC or worse changes in battery life of your Galaxy S7 after the Android Nougat 7.0 update? Please share your thoughts here and do suggest how you solved the problem. (My battery drains so fast that I sometimes charge it twice a day. I don't even use my phone for half of the day because I'll be at school and still the battery drain is bad! )
Factory reset. Backup your data via kies and then reset it.
Change your battery
What firmware version are you running? There's at least one version of Nougat that has issues with this

Possibly. I can vouch for it being fixed on DQCF onwards, which is newer than DQC4. The temporary fix seems to be to use as little RAM as possible(try to cut down on background apps until the next update). That firmware isn't terribly old though. I would actually agree with trying a reflash first.

I think it is also possible to reinstall the same firmware with Smart Switch from the menu "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialisation". It's like Odin but much simpler especially for beginners. As for me, I am still in DQBO and I await the update DQD7 which is beginning to be deployed in some countries. If this is not going to solve the problem, I will try to reinstall the fimware with Smart Switch. What do you think ?

If it's restarting due to the firmware bug then DQD7 will most definitely fix it. Beware of the emergency recovery though. Ive not used Smart Switch but the "initialization" part sounds like it would wipe the device, though that could fix any issues. Backup first, if you can.
Hello i've got kind of an issue with my Honor 8 FRD L09: I was recently using Lineage OS 14.1 without any issue. But I decided to go back to EMUI so I used dload method to install B101 update.

Try factory reset. I went through the same thing as you and it solved.
When you do the B394 or whatever is the latest, do the reset again, just to clean old trash from previous versions.

You don't need to setup any google, Huawei or whatever account to get the update. I do a factory reset also after the last update. It prevents under performance and battery drain issues. That's why I always leave the accounts to the very end, after doing all updates.
