I wasn't sure where to ask this so I hope it's the correct place. I lost some functionality, that I need in Marshmallow, with the upgrade, this week to Nougat. I'm new to this, so, I need help to go back to Marshmallow with an early 2011 MacBook Pro, please. Thanks
where you ever able to go back? I just got the s7 flat from verizon and it has Android 7 Nougat on it, however it looks like FoxFi doesn't work. Wondering if I can just flash the 6.0.1 version from sammobile with odin or not?

Has anyone else downgraded from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 on the T-Mobile variant? I have done some searching and I have seen that some people feel it may brick the phone. I have seen some go from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4, but not from 5.1.1. When I received my Edge it was already on 5.1.1 but the battery life is pretty awful and I am hoping for better results on 5.0.1.
I have already tripped KNOX and am running RiverRom if it matters.
Somebody posted an 'unlocked' 4.4.4 bootloader here recently and with that you should be able to downgrade to kitkat as poster claims. Take it from there.
Respect!

Sorry to ask a question instead of answering yours but I thought custom 5.1.1 ROMs were supposed to be better for battery life? I assume Riverrom is a custom 5.1.1 ROM. Aren't those supposed to be better?
Hyperdrive is now out based on COK2. I don't think it's possible to downgrade, but if you figure it out, let me know.
Downgrade will also help to use the Gear2
With the lolipop 5.1.1, second version, I can not use the Gearmanager to manange apps
I have currently 5.1.1 on my galaxy s6 sm-g920f, i live in europe and the 6.0.1 update does not show up. A friend of mine who also owns a s6 got his 6.0.1 ota update.I tried even connecting it with smart switch but still, no update notification.

It's rolled it out in batches to make sure their servers aren't bombarded with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people trying to update it at once.
And your friend may not have the international version: some other carriers push it out quicker
If you want to do it officially, it's just a matter of patience. I know the feeling of frustration, checking for system updates twice a day, but it'll arrive eventually

US GS7-s have locked bootloaders, which means we're unable to downgrade until bootloader keys are leaked or T-Mobile unlocks it for us, which probably will never happen.

I just downloaded the 6.0.1 image for g930T and flash it with ODIN and that's it, I'm on 6.0.1 again :d
Ya I have downgraded from 7.0 to 6.0.1 several times already with no problems. My issue is that Nougat rooted is very laggy so I been trying all sort of fixes like govtuner etc but it is still laggy
anyway, here is attached screenshot of how I downgrade quickly and easily on sm-g930t

I'm running on stock nougat and the phone is speedy, gets ok battery life and I'm really not missing root because I've found ways to make it do what I want. The only thing I miss is TB.
Just moved to this phone on Sprint from the Galaxy S6, this device is fully updated and I was wanting to root it. Is there a root available for Oreo for the Sprint variant? And what are some of the better Oreo ROMs? Thank you!
Check your bootloader version. If it's under 4 which I haven't seen yet, you can root but it won't be oreo. Check out PartyCyborg rom. Works up to bootloader v3 but you'll end up flashing to Nougat and can only charge to 80%

He is correct if you need any other kind of help let me know Im pretty fluent with this root and such
I really want to root and I am searching online since 4 days but couldn't find any clear information that i can fallow (or because of my lack of knowledge)
I don't care if i need to downgrade, or give up from "fancy" features. All i want a control on a device that i pay thousand $.
So my s8+ has:
One UI version : 1
Android Version: 9
Baseband Version: G955WVLU5CSC1 with BELL
I am new to rooting but big supporting of Open software, and idea of meaning of actually owning a device.
Please help, or any direction.
Thanks.
I have been dreaming there would have a rooting method since 2017 ( I got the same phone as you but from Telus - I paid off and now switched to Rogers). As far as I know, since our phones' bootloader can't be unlocked, we can kiss goodbye for rooting. I told myself that being a two years old phone, if there would have a method it would have been surfaced. This S8+ would be my last Sam**** phone, I am preparing to sell it on eBay and switch to something like OnePlus ( they are the most easy phone to root).

There is no root for oreo or pie nougat only. You can Google jrkruse bit 5 and come up with a method.

thanks a lot for your time. :good:

Is there a way to roll back Pie to Nougat and then root?
I've had no luck trying to get Safestrap running on an OTA Pie.

After you get safe strap you can then do some magic a hacks and acheive a rooted nougat system. Again you cannot root oreo or pie with this method. But it does allow you to do 1 of 3 options. Root with nougat and rev 5 combo bootloader , install a oreo system and rev 5 oreo bootloader, or install pie with rev 5 bootloader. As of right now all 3 systems have a rev 5 bootloader
