Hi XDA Members,
I have a very curious problem and hope somebody has an idea what could be wrong.
I have a stock phone that has been updated by a friend to 7.0 but now he wants to go back.
I have flashed a one part stock rom with Odin with complete sucess but after reboot (even showing the erasing process)
the phone boots up and 7.0 is still there and even all the apps and data are still available.
So I tried a 4part stock rom and to my surprise the same thing happened. Odin finished with sucess, phone reboots now it
even installs the bloatware apps and yet it is still running 7.0
I am loosing my mind here. Do I need to flash a pit file? Do I need to root before I flash? What am I doing wrong or will I be stuck with 7.0 forever now?
kind regards
Piko

You need flash rom which starts with G920FXXU5D or G920FXXS5D if you want to downgrade to 6.0.1
Btw, you don't have to flash 4 part rom.

I have just flashed the G920FXXU5DQA7_G920FDBT5DQA3_G920FXXU5DPL3_HOME.tar.md5 but now if
I start the phone it says "SYSTEM UI STOPPED" when I hit ok - it just says this again and again. Guess this was the wrong
rom once again? I just hope I did not brick the phone yet. Should I flash it again with another ROM? Could you maybe point me to the correct rom I need to download?
many thanks in advance

Oh my god. That did the trick - and I thought it was over. How did you know what version to flash for the downgrade?
And is there anything good I can do for you to say thank you for helping me out this much? Seriously you helped me soo much.

My main reason is that they changed some core things. I now cannot stream anything from the phone (screen capture) without root. Also some oculus apps just keep crashing all the time.

Hello I have had the same type of trouble only with mine is >/
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Walmart. It's the Straight talk variant SM-S903VLUDU4APH3. MY phone came with 6.0.1 Mm. I flashed the stock rom 4.4.4 kk using Odin3 V.3.10.6 but upon completion of a successful flash the phone does the reboot process but boots into factory recovery and says installing system update. The says erasing then reboots to where I started from same rom, it's like it allows the phone to get the update but then reboots and does a factory reset.

The issue is you turned of oem unlock which is always needed. I think only option is flashing of stock rom through odin no other option i know of. i guess its hardbricked mostly.
Download the latest samfirm tool available on xda.
Open the samfirm tool. Enter model and region. Tick Auto and binary nature.
Click on Check update. It will show the latest firmware available on samsung server.
Then click on download. It will download four file full firmware. Then flash it through odin.
You need a strong internet connection to download the file.
All the best.

Simply install TWRP using odin. And flash hyperion v2 rom alongwith fix file. I hope it'll sort out ur volte problem as well you'll get a high quality rom experience for this model. I am using the same in India.
Samfirm is completely garbage.use updato from play store, it's called android updates after u search for updato.download and Search up your firmware. Copy to computer and unzip then reboot to download mode.load firmware into AP slot. Tick nand erase and reboot. Begin flash of firmware. When it reboots u are fully stock. Start over, flash twrp then whatever ROM and root etc. Samfirm never even works. Don't waste your time.

Nah this fails on the latest U2CRED ROM with bootloader v2...

I am attempting to downgrade from Android 8 to 7 on Galaxy S7. When I attempt to flash the old firmware I get the error 'Device 3 - Binary 2'. Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this yet?

Odin will not let you flashback to a previous boot loader version, you have to do it through TWRP. So either flash the nougat firmware with TWRP first or any nougat based rom, then flash nougat via odin which will remove root and TWRP.

Are there any instructions for this?
Will secure apps (Banking etc) work again after removing root?
I was under the impression you could via Odin if OEM unlock was enabled, without needing TWRP or root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-android-oreo-8-0-t3821495
edit: As for banking, if you go root then flash back to stock you should have no issues. Even if you stay root, things like Magisk will hide root status from apps and pass safetynet. Your biggest issue would be the loss of Knox, which voids warranty and breaks some Samsung apps.

Ok so listen, it can be done as i said but it's not easy. The choice you have of course before attempting this is to just install a android 7 custom ROM? many nougat ROMs are just stock with the bloatware removed and the boot-loader version isn't checked during flash.
Here's another way to go back, i can't guarantee it will work though i haven't tried it on an S7.
Downgrade to an older firmware with an older bootloader even if one keeps the newer bootloader on his device.
So what's how's it done?
Download the firmware file (.tar) which you want to downgrade to and open it with an archiver application (7zip). Extracts all the files to a folder and repacks them again in a .tar file but leaving every file out which ends in .bin (e.g. sboot.bin etc.). This .tar file can now be flashed like any other firmware file via Odin and it should run through it without any problems.
Hope this helps.

Flash the device via Odin, when it bootloop, turn the device off, then boot your device into stock recovery and then choose the factory reset option.

Ok, you've got something else going on.
Have you previously modified the device or flashed anything on the device that wasn't stock? If so, did the modifications or whatever you flashed cause an issue and that is now the reason you are flashing the firmware?
Are you certain that your firmware is for your specific device and is it the most up to date version for your device?

But are you using the most up to date firmware? Older/downgraded firmware won't work, it has to be exactly the same binary as what is already on the device or a firmware with a newer binary, it can not be a firmware that has an older binary than the firmware that is already on the device.
