SM-G920F Downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0.0.1 failed - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA Members,
I have a very curious problem and hope somebody has an idea what could be wrong.
I have a stock phone that has been updated by a friend to 7.0 but now he wants to go back.
I have flashed a one part stock rom with Odin with complete sucess but after reboot (even showing the erasing process)
the phone boots up and 7.0 is still there and even all the apps and data are still available.
So I tried a 4part stock rom and to my surprise the same thing happened. Odin finished with sucess, phone reboots now it
even installs the bloatware apps and yet it is still running 7.0
I am loosing my mind here. Do I need to flash a pit file? Do I need to root before I flash? What am I doing wrong or will I be stuck with 7.0 forever now?
kind regards
Piko

You need flash rom which starts with G920FXXU5D or G920FXXS5D if you want to downgrade to 6.0.1
Btw, you don't have to flash 4 part rom.

I have just flashed the G920FXXU5DQA7_G920FDBT5DQA3_G920FXXU5DPL3_HOME.tar.md5 but now if
I start the phone it says "SYSTEM UI STOPPED" when I hit ok - it just says this again and again. Guess this was the wrong
rom once again? I just hope I did not brick the phone yet. Should I flash it again with another ROM? Could you maybe point me to the correct rom I need to download?
many thanks in advance

Oh my god. That did the trick - and I thought it was over. How did you know what version to flash for the downgrade?
And is there anything good I can do for you to say thank you for helping me out this much? Seriously you helped me soo much.

My main reason is that they changed some core things. I now cannot stream anything from the phone (screen capture) without root. Also some oculus apps just keep crashing all the time.

Hello I have had the same type of trouble only with mine is >/
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Walmart. It's the Straight talk variant SM-S903VLUDU4APH3. MY phone came with 6.0.1 Mm. I flashed the stock rom 4.4.4 kk using Odin3 V.3.10.6 but upon completion of a successful flash the phone does the reboot process but boots into factory recovery and says installing system update. The says erasing then reboots to where I started from same rom, it's like it allows the phone to get the update but then reboots and does a factory reset.

You can unroot and update via OTA but when you have a unlocked bootloader OTA's are always risky.
Just download latest ROM for your phone and flash it, instruction are also given and is pretty easy and safe.

No. Just start flashing according to the instruction. Root is a system level thing and does not interrupt in flashing. You have to root again after flashing unless it is a pre-rooted rom.
But as you are upgrading first flash stock motorola rom whichever is latest.

I Downloaded lastest room from my phone, its 750MB.

Look you can do flashing and upgrading in more than one way.
Just follow this link and do exactly what it says: If you have any question PM me, I will gladly help.
Also by flashing this way your recovery will be replaced by stock recovery and you have to reflash TWRP.
Your phone will be completely stock and all data will be erased.
Note:
Read very carefully before doing anything.
Also download correct rom for your device. The model no. should match.

[G930F] No photo or fingerprint alter downgrade

Hi everybody,
I've received my new phone, an international samsung galaxy S7. At his first boot, my phone was in nougat version but i need to have xposed and get back to android MM.
To do that, i got superman rom 1.2 and flash it like always. The rom booted without probleme expect fingerprint and rear camera that doesn't want to work ...
So i've tried superstock and phoenix rom and still same problem.
Last try, i've flashed the last french officiel (XEF) Samsung MM Android and still this f***ing problem.
No problem on stock and superman rom in nougat
Is samsung blocking downgrade ?
Thanks for your answers

I've unzipped the firmware and flash the 4 files (AP,BL,CP,CPC) with the latest Odin, no PIT file, and in options, Auto Reboot and F.Reset.Time.
I'm a pretty good user of android, never had a problem on my S4 (jflte(xx)).
Is there something new like security to block Downgrade ? Because official and custom Rom do the same error ...

Hi
No problem.
Mate i have the feeling the issue is with the bootloader , maybe is still on N , use an app like phoneinfo and check what bootloader you have and see if it is a N or a MM bootloader
finger print and camera were working in N right?
Check this thread , some people had issue downgrading , check post 12 and 22 ( better read all thread)

Hi
The update bootloader option is not really use , myself never used but it was worth trying as to me the cases are similar, it should had work without that option , you also say bootloader is the correct one.
After flashing MM did you try to factory reset / wipe cache? do it without restoring anything and see if it work

Downgrade Android 8 to 7 - Binary 3?

Odin will not let you flashback to a previous boot loader version, you have to do it through TWRP. So either flash the nougat firmware with TWRP first or any nougat based rom, then flash nougat via odin which will remove root and TWRP.

Are there any instructions for this?
Will secure apps (Banking etc) work again after removing root?
I was under the impression you could via Odin if OEM unlock was enabled, without needing TWRP or root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-android-oreo-8-0-t3821495
edit: As for banking, if you go root then flash back to stock you should have no issues. Even if you stay root, things like Magisk will hide root status from apps and pass safetynet. Your biggest issue would be the loss of Knox, which voids warranty and breaks some Samsung apps.

Ok so listen, it can be done as i said but it's not easy. The choice you have of course before attempting this is to just install a android 7 custom ROM? many nougat ROMs are just stock with the bloatware removed and the boot-loader version isn't checked during flash.
Here's another way to go back, i can't guarantee it will work though i haven't tried it on an S7.
Downgrade to an older firmware with an older bootloader even if one keeps the newer bootloader on his device.
So what's how's it done?
Download the firmware file (.tar) which you want to downgrade to and open it with an archiver application (7zip). Extracts all the files to a folder and repacks them again in a .tar file but leaving every file out which ends in .bin (e.g. sboot.bin etc.). This .tar file can now be flashed like any other firmware file via Odin and it should run through it without any problems.
Hope this helps.

Ok so listen, it can be done as i said but it's not easy. The choice you have of course before attempting this is to just install a android 7 custom ROM? many nougat ROMs are just stock with the bloatware removed and the boot-loader version isn't checked during flash.
Here's another way to go back, i can't guarantee it will work though i haven't tried it on an S7.
Downgrade to an older firmware with an older bootloader even if one keeps the newer bootloader on his device.
So what's how's it done?
Download the firmware file (.tar) which you want to downgrade to and open it with an archiver application (7zip). Extracts all the files to a folder and repacks them again in a .tar file but leaving every file out which ends in .bin (e.g. sboot.bin etc.).

Hello
You cannot go from V3 boot loader (Oreo) to V2 boot loader (Nougat). Did you have stock Oreo installed?

You have to flash the correct firmware for your country. What country are you in?

Ok, LiteRom is Nougat 7
Option 1
Flash TWRP via Odin then flash LiteRom or any Nougat Rom
Option 2 (Easy)
Place phone in download mode (home+volume down+power) then flash Stock Nougat (via Odin) for your country Slovakia (TMS) from www.sammobile.com

No, i have LiteRom v. Oreo.
I have latest TWRP of course too.
Bootloader apparently prevents downgrade via Odin, but you can still downgrade via TWRP. You need to flash a custom nougat ROM that includes an older bootloader version.
Odin 3.13. and latest Nougat ROM available for your phone.
Did downgrade without any issues.

I tried flash Stock Rom via Odin-->Failed.
I tried flash several Nougat Rom via TWRP, but after Rom boot i got No Service (no signal).
After have i tried flash latest Nougat BL separately but i got error: sv rev. check fail (bootloader) device:3, binary:2 in download mode.
Any ideas please?
You can't downgrade the bootloader.
Stock nougat on an Oreo bootloader will cause problems with wifi, data, and possibly lose the IMEI.

Samsung blocked bootloader downgrades a long time ago. I think it started with the S3.

You may be able to run a custom nougat rom on the Oreo bootloader but not a completely stock nougat ROM.
SOLVED!
