But Verizon got it on the 1st. Y sprint so slow always
Each carrier is different...
What's the giant rush for?!? OP is asking for root, yet knowingly installed a beta which had no root, and knew there was no downgrade after install.
Seems that there is a giant rush because someone didn't read before installing.....
Everything I have seen shows Oreo is still on Version 2 bootloader same as the latest Nougat which is on V2 BL , (FW for oreo 2CRB9 - nougat 2BRB1) I know I can't flash back to V1 BL (earlier nougat 1AQH3) .. you should be able to take the latest nougat firmware flash in odin and go back. I have not tried but it seems other people have with no issues on other carriers with the 950U.

is it possible to downgrade with odin?

Yes it actually is if you use the rooting method PartCyborgRom because the BL file is V3 but the AP is Nougat. I am on Sprint as well. If you do choose to do this, factory reset BEFORE you flash the BL, AP, and BL again. If not the data most likely will not work.
Enjoy

I read that as well, I am curious to see where this will go.... fingers crossed!
It would explain why we haven't received 5.1.1 yet. They may just jump us straight to 6.0 but it also means we will have to choose whether to stay rooted on 5.0 or give up root for 6.0 since it can (currently) only be rooted if you have an unlocked bootloader.

Indeed. Due to selinux (which is a great feature), rooting 5.1.1 or later requires an selinux permissive kernel. Otherwise you end up with a bootloop after rooting. And the only way to get an selinux permissive kernel is to build from samsung sources... basically Samsung has officially defeated root as of Android 5.1.1 with it's heavy integration of KNOX.

WHEN it gets released you will be able to take it via OTA there will be no need to flash. WHEN it gets released you will be free to go to stock no root 6.0

Yes, but ... if you are rooted and activate sdm to allow the OTA notification and take the OTA, you do it knowing that you are saying goodbye to root, probably for the remaining life of your phone.
I dont think marshmallow has enough in it for me to loose root. lol no thanks

Thanks every one, hope someone dump does files for us
Whoever gets the update tomorrow. PULL THR UPDATE ZIP!
If I get it I will and post it. I have ready done this from my wife's sprint edge variant.
Here is how you do it:
You have to be on the latest firmware and not rooted.
If you get the update notification.
Download it, but do not install it.
Then root your device. DO NOT WIPE IT
The update.zip is located in /data/fota/update.zip
Pull it using adb or use root Explorer to move it to the root of your SDCard and then your pc.
Please wait for someone to verify it works before flashing the update or unroot.
Unfortunately I will not be able to pull said update as I do not want to root my device. I require working Knox and other benefits.

After you root you can go back to stock, then flash the latest update.zip you shared with everyone. Knox and everything will work just fine

Only on the Exynos S7.
We use an engineering kernel that's signed by Samsung for root, so it doesn't trip Knox.
The root method for us doesnt trigger knox.
If I could Pull the update.zip It would be a pleasure but it was Full for register when I tried.
I'll see if I can pull the file for you gentlemen and ladies. I just don't really need root so I have not put attention to the rooting method since the note 5?

I can't imagine why not. I'd recommend doing a full wipe/clean install just to be sure.

Hello guys,
I have been following XDA for quite long time now and always could find answer for my question but this time I gave up..
I was so amazed by S7 performance that I never though I would need to go CF. 7h SOT on WiFi was common and 4,5h on 4G. But after Oreo came up it gotten worse and worse.
I really would like to roll back to Nougat offcial - so far I learned there is no way to achieve that easily but since I didnt find any straight answer I started to wonder if that is even possible?
At the moment Im on Oreo v.4 BL and custom Kernel which was supposed to help with battery drain on 4G...i mean it does a bit but this is still not what I am looking for.
Have anyone found a solution for draining?

Looks like flashing a custom 7.0 ROM is the best we can do for now
From what I understood, it's not possible to downgrade stock official nougat. Only custom ones using the oreo bootloader.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
So what is the closest to official 7.0 ?
I have tried Lineage 16 lately but didn't like it. Not to mention that drain was still there...

I flashed this Nougat Devbase it is 100% like stock but after flashing my baseband was unknown, so after flashing rom i went to download mode and flashed CP file from my stock firmware in download mode and then my signal and everything working on my Bit 4 S7 on Nougat.

Come on now you know its not that simple, bootloader doesn't reside on same partitions you can wipe with rom installs.
If I knew it wasn't that simple I wouldn't have asked. I figured if ROM's can update bootloaders they could downgrade them too.

We cant downgrade the bootloader. I also want back Nougat! Its was very better in battery life
So I have checked both Lineage and RR but it was even worse.
Yesterday in the morning I installed the latest stock Oreo XEO G930FXXS4ESC1 and the latest TGP kernel - it seems promissing. Got 3h25min SOT using only mobile network.
My battery life is 81% so the result with TGP is the closest to what I was gettin on Nougat.
If that keeps up I will stay with it. But I think I will give a try with Superman Rom v2.90.
