Yes it is but you have to make sure that you stay on BL3. You can't downgrade the BL. He used a thread with the latest Nougat Odin files.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...n950u-stock-n950usqs3brb2-odin-files-t3761567
Once back on Nougat, download BK package disabler and freeze both software updates (just use the search feature and type in updates) so that it don't auto update on you.

You have version 1, version 2 and version 3. If your on oreo then you are on version 3. Search which firmware version 3 runs on and you'll get your answer, or you can use the link i gave you to the last Nougat version 3 that was pushed out by AT&T. I think there were only 2 firmwares on Nougat that ran on version 3.

Yes it's super easy. Using Odin, you can use one of the threads below. BRA8 is a hair older (1 month). BRB2 will have the latest security patch

I've never seen a BRA9 for the AT&T Note 8, upgrade or Odin. We went from BRA8 to BRB2

Yes. Samfail V3 will work with either one of these firmwares.

Settings about phone. Software info. What's the base band and such...
From my understanding they can't patch the root method or at least have not. Yet. You should be good to go

If you have updated to Android 8.0 you CANNOT downgrade to 7.0. The bootloader is updated.

"I am updated to android 8.0 and i can find out what boot loader it uses to see if i can root it" Learn to read "my guy" he is using stock firmware. So NO it's not possible.

You can't root 8.0. Downgrade with your bootloader revision is possible with the same revision combination firmware. But it's a rest rom. So only option is to immediately flash part cyborg
Just for downgrading to 7.0 stock no. You cannot

FWIW, I have a T-Mobile S22 Ultra that I fully flashed to the US Unlocked version (XAA) & the Samsung Members app still recognizes it as a T-Mobile device.
As I mentioned in another thread, I am on the One UI 5 Beta, so, I can guess that the T-Mobile &/or US Unlocked versions are currently open to the Beta & AT&T isn't (as of August 7,2022).
Did you end up manually flashing the Beta via ADB?

Download the Update From the OnePlus Website, Make sure it's the version for your device model, use Local Update to flash ROM manually, if you're rooted flash magisk within the app after OTA has completed -Reboot..

Can you check the app in the playstore under Oxygen Updater. Report back if no update download...
You may have to switch to global firmware as far as I can tell T-Mobile hasn't released the OnePlus 9 android 12L update at all.

This is the same version you got after reflashing via MSM tool for t-mobile. Your local vender turned off its updates via adb to protect the patch if you are from Pk
