Hi guys! I have a galaxy s7 G930W8 (Canadian version). I've been trying to install Kali Nethunter for a couple weeks now. The only real requirement i need is Touchwiz 6.0.1. So first I tried using odin to flash the stock marshmallow firmware. Replacing the CP file usually broke my Bell service so i leave that empty and only flash the AP. But the Camera doesn't work. Next I tried Hydrarom 1.4, and again, everything working except the camera.
Right now I'm running Lineage Os, running nougat. Camera works. Same thing for stock Nougat firmware. Camera works. I guess what I'm looking for is a rom that is still being updated because hydrarom and stock marshmallow firmwares are from 2016. I heard about "Jesse's Note 7 rom for s7", but all the downloads seem to be broken. I even tried looking for the old lineage 13 but i'm unable to find that too.
Do you guys have any ideas? Rom suggestions? I enjoy the fully debloated roms without google or samsung. Thanks!

I previously rooted my Note 3 (I do not remember what technique I used). I also disabled OTA updates using NoBloat Free. I have since removed root using SuperSU but the normal method for checking for updates does not work. I also tried to clear the Google Services Framework as well as the "*#*#" trick.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get the system update functionality working again? If not, is there a way to to a manual OS update? I'm currently running 4.4.2 and I would like to upgrade to the latest version of Marshmellow. Here are some other specs - Baseband N900PVPUCNAB, Kernel version 3.4.0-533717. Any suggestions?
As an update, I just performed a factory reset....still nothing. Nothing happens when I click on the Update option. The same goes for "Update PRL" and "Update Profile."
There is no stock MM for the note 3?...AFAIK Note 3 ended with LP. There are a couple CM based roms on MM.

Thanks but I have no idea what you wrote.
There is no Marshmallow for the note 3. Samsung never put it out for us; they left us of at lollipop. However if you re root you can install Marshmallow from a third party. Such as Cynagenmod.
So long story short if you want OTA updates on the note 3 you are stuck of at LP. If you want MM you must root and flash custom ROM.
Hello guys,
I downgraded my Samsung Galaxy S7 to 6.0.1. The phone itself came with 7.0 out of the box. However, it seems the rear camera does not work when I flash 6.0.1 stock firmware. It works fine on 7.0. Any idea what is causing this or could be there a fix?
Did you flash all 4 firmware files via Odin (CP, AP, CSC, BL)? MM and Nougat use have fairly different bootloaders, and having the wrong bootloader version breaks a few things.
I believe S7's also come with two different camera sensors with different third party support, but that shouldn't matter if you're using stock firmware and stock camera app.
Yes, I am flashing all 4 firmware files.
The phone itself came with Android 7 out of the box. I wonder if it's possible to dump camera firmware/driver of Nougat so that I can flash it on MM?
Everything seems to work fine besides the camera.

Modded ODIN also FOUND THERE
do you know if this will work on sprint samsung s9 plus?
upgraded to pie using ota and tried to downgrade using this method on my ATT s9 plus. didn't work for me.
With the new betas coming out there is defetly going to be a few people that are going to soft brick their devices installing them. Just like I did today.
Fortunatly I foundd the right firmware after a few hours of searching.
If you have flashed Firmware: ZSB9 from the Beta 4 and if for what ever reason you are locked out this firmware should do the trick
All you need to do is flash it with Odin and you will be back on the Sweet Oreo

This is for the S8 G950F
So nothing special is needed?
Just install oreo over pie like .... if I wanted to install stock os?
Hi everybody,
I just bought a S8+ with firmware G955FXXU5DSFB - Pie - pre-installed.
After a couple of days (and nights), the frustration piled up:
- barely managed to install TWRP
- RMM protection and "only official released binaries are allowed" messages that seem to come up again almost randomly
- still didn't manage to root
- what's worse - this bootloader downgrade issue (which I've just found out about) - the bootloader cannot be downgraded - is it for real ?
The final question - how can I install a custom Oreo/Nougat custom ROM if I have the BL v5 ?
I guess all the custom ROMS have lower bootloader versions. Does this mean I am stuck forever with stock Pie ? That would be a really bad.
Since when did Samsung turn so bad ? My previous phone was a Note 4 - I haven't been following the xda/Android news for the past 5 years.
Thanks a lot, and as always - xda-developers rule !
I managed to root the phone with Magisk.
I tried to flash Omega ROM, but the phone was stuck at boot screen.
Can someone pmease confirm that there's no way I can install cuatom ROM?
Thanks.
Unfortunately you are stuck to Pie forever, it's also the case for me, got my s8+ with Pie (BL5) and didn't even try to downgrade to Oreo, coz it's impossible
I'm using Alexis Rom with NX Kernel now, everything is perfect, smooth along with 6h30 screen on time
Hi, thanks for the reply. Isn't there any version of Oreo that has BL5 ?
Anyway, had I known this stuff beforehand, I would have never bought the phone. I am sorry that Samsung went so wrong, locking down their phones so brutally. I owned only Samsung smartphones, starting with SGS1; most likely this will be my last Samsung.

No, no oreo firmware with BL5 :/
I got mine for free so I'm not that bothered Plus I'm still enjoying oreo on my s7 edge
It seems that, in fact, there is a way of downgrading: I have now Oreo running on the device with BL5.
