Hello, Can i Downgrade from H83020d to H83020A? - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

Is there any risk of trying to downgrade form h83020d to h83020A or 20C?. In a post i read that i could brick the phone so i want make sure as i read that 20L can be downgraded.

Done, i just updated to 20f and did the downgrade as usual. Already rooted with twrp.

Hello I need the lg h83020d downgrade h83020a to root and unlock, who has tried this version with the lgup?
Mode: Emergency
model H830
Read information ...
Model Name: LG-H830
Software version: H83020d
Android version: 7.0
Destination operator: TMO
Destination country: USA
Chipset: msm8996

I just acquired the t-mobile (LG-H830) variant and it's on h83020k. Can that still be safely downgraded?
EDIT: The answer is yes!

Clarification on Firmware Versions

Hello,
I have an unlocked Sprint SM-G930P S7 and I am using it on an AT&T network. I would like to change the firmware to match the network and/or remove all of the sprint bloatware. Currently, when I boot the phone I get a service error asking me to contact technical support. Everything works, I just get a single error at boot and have unusable sprint apps. My options appear to be G930A (AT&T) or G930U (USA Generic?). I want to remain on a stock rom.
I have two questions:
1. If I flash my phone to the AT&T version will this lock my phone? My understanding is that all US hardware is the same but I keep seeing threads on how the AT&T phones are locked down (maybe this is no longer the case?). Will this prevent me from changing firmware or carriers in the future?
2. Is G930U the correct firmware for me to flash? From searches, it appears that the G930F (International) firmware is much more popular, but I am pretty sure I should stick with the "U" version in the US. Is there a specific "U" version I should use? Some threads discuss a boot loader requirement and I have no idea what version boot loader I have.
Phone Details are as follows:
Model: SM-G930P
Software: G930PVPS4APJ2
Baseband: G930PVPS4APJ2
Security Patch Level: October 1, 2016
Thanks for the help and clarification

I Hate Nougat. Can I Go Back To Marshmallow?

I have not rooted, I'm afraid, I just let tmobile update to 7.0 and ... I just don't like it. At all.
Is the only way to get back through Odin? Just curious if there was another way ...
You should root and install Roms through TWRP recovery. I like Nougat, but I don't like T-Mobile's first version thereof, so I use Khongloi Nougat v3 (Note 5 base). I think Khongloi is v7 or something now, but he took his Rom in the S8 port direction and doesn't even offer downloads of the version I use that is near identical to the T-Mobile version (just better performing and Miracast works). Personally, I would never own a phone that is not rooted; there is just way too much flexibility and so many benefits to rooting!
EDIT 5/2/17:JUSMEJOSE, you are correct about QA2 working from QC6. I just tested that version now. PD1 is what fails and that is why I said it wouldn't work. PD1 is the Marshmallow Rom that it is impossible to go back to from either QC6 Nougat or QA2 Marshmallow. It is also impossible to go back to OGE Lollipop from either QC6 or QA2.

You can downgrade with odin, just download latest 6.0.1 firmware and flash with odin, make hard reset after, nougat have same bootloader binary code as latest 6.0.1 so is safe to downgrade
I recommend following this post's instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/general/guide-update-to-official-nougat-t3594453
You already have Nougat, so skip to the part about flashing TWRP in Odin's AP section--just start there and follow the easy-as-pie instructions. You will be happy you rooted.

Odin will not let you downgrade bootloader/baseband--believe me, I tried.

Wrong wrong Nougat and MM have the same Rev4 meaning you can always go back to MM!
Can anyone with a tmobile/canadian note 5 who are not rooted verify if they have gone back successfully to MM from Nougat thru Odin. And nothing messes up in the process, whether or not its a safe option to do this or not as well. Any help would be appreciated since I am reading conflicting opinions on this. Thanks!

JUSMEJOSE, try it yourself: Odin will not let you flash a lower baseband/bootloader. I told you I tried and if you don't believe me, then try it yourself and you will see it won't let you flash a lower baseband/bootloader.

I dont what did you flash because i dont need to test i know for sure that you are able to downgrade to MM to previos build with no problem Nougat and MM have the same Revision version so you are able to downgrade bootloader and baseband with no peoblem .. and before flashing always bakup your stuff ..

jhofseth said:
JUSMEJOSE, a cursory Google search reveals that Odin will not let you downgrade your bootloader/baseband. One individual I read thought they could giving advice similar you yours, but someone else reported later in that same thread that Odin would not let you downgrade bootloader/baseband. What's more, I told you I already tried flashing a lower bootloader/baseband Rom and Odin will not let you. I tried bootloader separate and only the current will flash. I tried two different older Roms and Odin will not let you; only the current will flash if you've already upgraded. Try flashing only a lower modem.tar and it will flash but you will have *no signal* after the Rom boots due to Samsung security. A lower bootloader/baseband will not successfully flash in Odin, period (i.e., any flash containing a lower bl.tar). Like I said, try it yourself and you will see that Odin will not let you flash a lower bootloader/baseband--not within an md5 Rom nor even separately. Try it yourself and all you will will lose is the two hours or so it takes to download an older md5 Rom from Sammobile, because Odin will not let you flash a lower bootloader/baseband.

Guys I need a bit of help, I think I havent done this downgrade correctly. In short what I did was:
1. Clear cache, data, factory reset
2. Installed Odin3-v3.11.1.zip
3. Downloaded last 6.01 firmware from my carrier prior to Nougat update (Canadian)
4. Flash it on ODIN
Apparently, there were two errors I got:
1. Firstly it said binary is invalid - meaning there was something wrong with the md5 download file
2. I renamed file to .tar now download went thru, but at the end it gave me an error saying Custom Binary Blocked by Faplock.
Would anyone know what I am doing wrong, I am sure its a minor thing, just cant seem to pinpoint it.
Nevermind, had a bad download, also didnt enable USB debugging. I am back on MM now.

Sm-j710fn firmware change

Hi. First thing's first- I've purchased a Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) with model SM-J710FN (as written on the back of the phone) variant from France, and as expected, it would have a French (or German) firmware installed (I'm not sure about that). I want to change over to the Indian firmware and I've been trying for a very long time, but I can't get anything. I've done the basics, such as trying to flash the Indian firmware for the correct with ODIN, but every time, an error occurs, saying, "secure check fail" on ODIN. I've also learnt that there is also something as an SSP variant of the device. Can someone please enlighten me on that and give me a link to a proper Indian firmware I can use? Thanks, much appreciated!
Just a quick note: My phone IS still under warranty, I'm not interested in loosing that.
Info about the phone:
Android version: 6.0.1
Baseband version: J710FXXU3AQD2
Build Number: MMB29K.J710FXXS3AQD1

[HELP] Phone bricked after rooting

I rooted my phone again, but this time, for the first time ever, it failed. Jesus!
I kept trying to find a firmware for my build + device, but i can't find any that matches both (not sure if the firmware must match build number).
PHONE INFO:
Model Number: SM-G930A
Build: MMB29M.g930AUCSAPK1
I need help really bad. Thanks
Have you seen this yet? The guide to unbricking the phone at least helped me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-onelatest-stock-fw-csc-root-t3702963
Since you're on a G930A which is snapdragon, you can use any snapdragon firmware that's the same or higher than what you're currently on, which is marshmallow judging by your build.
If you go to sammobile.com or updato.com you should find G930A firmware, you can also try G930U firmware which is the carrier unlocked firmware for snapdragon.
Lastly what root method were you trying? Since you're on Snapdragon, your bootloader is locked, so the methods that work for G930F/Exynos won't work for your device, which might be why it bricked.
