So the idea is this:
I have a rooted S6 920F with 5.1.1 OH2 EUR and engineering bootloader & Unikernel.
1. Being rooted, you flash 6 MM with mobile odin, ticking everroot and reboot into download mode. After this procedure, and while being in download mode, you have a 6.0.1 rooted, with an engineering bootloader.
2. Using Odin, you flash the official bootloader of 6.0.1 by extracting it from the tar file.
3. Reboot, and you have a 6.0.1 rom with official bootloader and kernel.

It won't work. Here is why;
Here it how KNOX counter works; If the bootloader detects an unsigned bootable image (recovery.img or boot.img) while booting the device, it trips to 1.
We need patch sepolicy since Android 6.0 (since Android 5.1 for Samsung devices) to apply the root which requisites patch the boot.img. Patching the boot.img makes it an unsigned bootable image. So, if we try to boot it, KNOX will trip to 1 anyway.
And there's no way to apply root without patch boot.img on Android 6.0
So, no luck until there's a new engineering bootloader which compaitable with Android 6.0 boot.img.
Hey guys , many people were having problems downgrading their device so i thought i should make this thread.
I have downgraded my phone successfully and this should also work for other variants.
So let's Start
Prerequisites :
Phone with Unlocked bootloader
Drivers Installed
Phone Charged to 50%
Phone having Nougat Soak Test
mfastboot and adb
How To :
First Setup adb and Fastboot , by extracting the mfastboot-v2 file in the C:\ directory. So that the files are in a folder in the C directory. Ill name this folder as adb.
Download the correct firmware(Stock Marshmallow) for your device , I have links to all down below.
Extract the firmware files in the same adb folder.
Download the run.bat file . Link below
copy the run.bat file inside the adb folder
Open your phone in bootloader mode by first turning off your phone. Then pressing and holding power and volume down at the same time for around 3 seconds.
Connect your phone to your computer via a usb cable
Double click and run the run.bat file.
After the window closes. Start the phone by selecting the start option in the bootloader mode.
Tap the power button to start.
That's it Now you have successfully downgraded to Marshmallow.

Did you relock it ? I don't think it's possible if you are downgrdin from 7.0 as the booloader is upgraded

Yes this should work .
I have a locked bootloader and im on soak build NPJ25.75-2.
Do I need to unlock the bootloader to flash this new soak build. Or can I downgrade to MM without unlocking bootloader.
I dont understand that if I'm flashing official files then why do I need to unlock the bootloader.
What I want to do is to update to the lastest build of N from soak build without unlocking bootloader.

I think you'll have to flash Marshmallow as described in this thread. Then sideload the update OTA via recovery.
If anybody is unable to download from FileFactory (like me), and happen to be on the XT1643, download link for the stock ROM is available on this thread. Happy Nougat times!
it ll unlock the bootloader?

Thanks for the reply. If we get full stock rom anyway(if i am ready to wait), can I flash without unlocking bootloader. Is there any chance to get the stock nougat firmware in future
Hi, sorry if I posted in the wrong section. But I cant seem to find any info on TWRP or even official Update.app for this MediaPad T2 7.0 not Pro BGO-DL09. Things done:
1. Bootloader unlocked. (Huawei unlock bootloader page, fastboot oem unlock [the code] ok)
2. Update to the latest version via OTA. (Android 6.0 Emui 4.0 Build number BGO-DL09C209B008)
3. Fastboot boot twrp that i borrowed from mediapad m2 8.0 (official twrp) (not working, operation not allowed)
4. Cant seem to find this particular BGO-DL09C209B008 in official Update.app format.
5. How to actually install and patch boot.img for magisk if I dont have TWRP?
6. Every time I fully shut down the device and reboot it, that dm-verity warning showed up. How to get rid of it, without relocking the bootloader? Will flashing TWRP wipe the dm-verity screen?
7. No. I cannot just use any Update.app that I can get, just because the front is BGO-DL09. The region code is different. See the C209? Unless I can get my hands on any C209 region firmware, Im not going to cross region flash it.
Any help is very appreciated. Thank you.
Sorry to bump. Is there anyone here using this BGO-DL09 and successfully find the official recovery firmware package? need the file, just to be safe before doing anything. yep bootloader is unlocked already.
Have you found any solutions?

Off topic question: What is the latest EMUI/Android update version available for your T2 7.0 device?
Bootloader unlocked not get code
BGO-DL09. Things done:

Please help me i don't know how to do this
Can you share the direct link of EMUI unlocker Please help me
Hi all,
Based on the recent Android O OTA Package, I made the Nokia 6 TA-1000 firmware that can be flashed with OST LA 6.0.4.
UPDATE: I'm testing the homebrew "Stock" firmware for Nokia 6 TA-1021(Codename PLE).
YOU MUST USE OST LA 6.0.4 IN ORDER TO FLASH THIS FIRMWARE TO YOUR NOKIA 6 TA-1000
OST LA 6.1.2 REQUIRES EXTRA AUTHENTICATION
However, this firmware preserves the old service bootloader from Nougat which made recovery porting and downgrading possible.
I strongly recommend everyone who still want to root your Nokia 6 on Android O to flash this firmware first.
However you needn't to flash this firmware if you've unlocked the bootloader.
If you've already updated to Oreo, here's the bootloader downgrading procedure: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-5/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-official-oreo-to-t3746007
December 2017 OTA DL: https://ota-filesite.c2dms.com/SWUpdate/500000748
After get stucked in recovery, just flash the firmware I provided.
You can receive further update from this firmware, but the bootloader will always get patched. You know, DON'T INSTALL ANY FURTHER OTA UPDATE.
https://mega.nz/#F!K1k0gC5C!xpw3-AQvSQJ5p6VWX19gpA
If you can't see any file, that probably means I'm still uploading.
The homebrew "Stock" FW is not a nb0 file. You can just load the mlf file with OST LA and do the same procedure.
DO BACKUP BEFORE UPGRADING OR DOWNGRADING, BECAUSE THE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN NOUGAT AND OREO
If you get stucked on logo, you can flash TWRP recovery and format data partition on recovery.
Special thanks:

@Quixote78 for OST LA and patch

Great move @hikari_calyx . You can pm me if you need any support

me too, on ta-1021. I will now try flashing the IMG files instead
Flashing with IMG / IMG.ext4 files worked. @hikari_calyx your mod works great on my TA-1021 with only one problem: the SIM card does not get recognized until I reboot to the recovery, wipe dalvik and choose reboot to system. That happens every time after the device gets shut down. So maybe something is wrong with the hardware init?
EDIT: you don't need to clear dalvik or cache, rebooting to recovery and from there rebooting to system again fixes the SIM issue
To fix the File not found issue, rename the following filenames:
D1C-0-522A-00WW-boot.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-boot.img
D1C-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img

Prerequisites:
- OST LA 6.0.4
- December 2017 Patch applied, as @hikari_calyx wrote
- the recovery provided by hikari_calyx in his MEGA Link
- the TA-1021 Firmware provided by hikari_calyx (I used B01, there could be more in the future)
0. check for December patch applied (if you are on another build than Dec your phone will not boot after this), unzip the 7-zip archive. Rename the following files:
D1C-0-522A-00WW-boot.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-boot.img
D1C-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-recovery.img
D1C-0-522A-00WW-system.img to PLE-0-522A-00WW-system.img (thanks to @nicholasng99)
and turn off you phone
start OST from the installation path (patch it first if needed) and click on, load the mlf file from the 7zip archive
click on "Edit phone information" and wait for the error message and click next.
After this, your phone has the Oreo image installed - now to rooting:
if you have unlocked your Bootloader: reboot to bootloader(for example: adb reboot bootloader)
if you have no unlocked Bootloader: fire up OST again and load a firmware file (nb0 or mlf) and click on "Edit phone information" after you turned off your phone
go to the OST installation path, hold shift and right-click into Explorer, now choose to open cmd / Powershell there.
execute fastboot-android flash recovery C:\path\to\recovery\by\7to\that\you \downloaded\filename.img
type fastboot reboot BUT DO NOT EXECUTE IT YET, hold down power and vol+, press Enter now
you should see a rabbit head, Chinese text and TWRP now
Optional: click on the cogwheel to open the settings and choose English as language if your Chinese is as good as mine (Spoiler: i don't speak Chinese)
Press on Advanced (three dots) and choose Rooting with Magisk
now you only have to reboot to system and it should work!
I hope I could help

Many Thanks to @hikari_calyx for this contribution @heineken78 for the patch
However , I managed to downgrade from Oreo 8.1 to Nougat 7.1.1
Using the
NB1-4390-0-00WW-B01.nb0 :Nougat
as the other builds will not work on 6.0.4 :will give an update error as these builds are unwritable by an old OST LA
NB1-484A-0-00WW-B03.nb0 : Oreo
NB1-488B-0-00WW-B04.nb0 : Oreo
the phone booted just fine and instantly suggested a 1.6 GB update
i let it update and i got back to 8.1 and all is fine
my bootloader is still unlocked
i just wanted to share the experience with others hopping to help unbrick your devices
As i went so far with my imagination and considered to re-write my bootloader
Using BOOT JIG or EDL cable!
please replay if this did work for you on other Nokia 8 Models

Many Thanks to @hikari_calyx for this contribution @heineken78 for the patch
However , I managed to downgrade from Oreo 8.1 to Nougat 7.1.1
Using the
NB1-4390-0-00WW-B01.nb0 :Nougat
as the other builds will not work on 6.0.4 :will give an update error as these builds are unwritable by an old OST LA
NB1-484A-0-00WW-B03.nb0 : Oreo
NB1-488B-0-00WW-B04.nb0 : Oreo
the phone booted just fine and instantly suggested a 1.6 GB update
i let it update and i got back to 8.1 and all is fine
my bootloader is still unlocked
i just wanted to share the experience with others hopping to help unbrick your devices
As i went so far with my imagination and considered to re-write my bootloader
Using BOOT JIG or EDL cable!
please replay if this did work for you on other Nokia 8 Models
Again Many thanks to our Great Developers

Hi,
Since I don't receive any OTA with V4.88B
I'll try to downgrade my TA-1012 with NB1-4390-0-00WW-B01.nb0 to switch in Nougat and go back to OREO via OTA but I have error messages with OST LA 6.04
Program just begin to flash 2 partitions but not system and don't wipe my data.
Phone reboot normally and go back to OREO v4.88B.
hi...
all those of the firmware didn't work to my phone... maybe the firmware are not same...
I think OST LA ils not as good as Xiaomi Flash Program or Samsung ODIN program
Din not work on my TA-1004 got error oxc6da
I apply same procedures but got error in ost after flashing two partitions
Error code oxc6da
Can this be done but without erasing the User Data and on Hard Bricked phones??
