I need some advice to downgrade my Galaxy A10S [A107M] - General Questions and Answers

First I want to know if it's worth the risk, because the last time I've rooted a device was a moto g2 back in 2015, and afaik Galaxy devices are easy to brick.
I want to do it because Android 11 it's a mess and bad optimized to A10S. Since the last update my phone just got worse, and since a week ago it just closes almost every app without even warning.
I can't even open something like a browser without a 2 min loading.
I want to know if downgrading can make it less heavier, and if yes, I want at least to know if it's worth using an old original SO (Android 9 or 10), or if it's better using a custom ROM.

From what i understand there are no custom roms for a107m, it doesn't even come twrp. I tried and my phone went into hard brick but luckily I revived it.
When I managed to revive my device, it went up to binary 5, so I had to put Android 10. The problem with this is that I can't open the camera and I don't know if I can go back to Android 9 (the one I had originally) due to the binary . That is my situation. If you know any solution to my problem, I would appreciate it.
Sorry for my bad english.

Downgrading is not possible unless the binary of the downgraded firmware is equal to the binary of the currently installed firmware. If the binary of the downgraded firmware is lower than the binary of your currently installed firmware, you will not be able to downgrade. No, there are no "tricks" to bypass the binary block, it is not possible.

Camera may not be working due to leftover data from the previous system, if this is the cause of the issue, try booting into stock recovery and choose the factory reset option then choose the wipe cache partition option then reboot the device.
If the binary of the android 9 firmware is the same as the binary of your currently installed android 10 firmware, you should be able to downgrade to the android 9 firmware.

I have a problem because I try to enter the recovery mode and apparently I do not have it, because it does not enter (when my a10s got hard brick I had tried to flash a twrp recovery)

Extract the stock recovery.img from the firmware file then use it to create an Odin flashable .tar by using 7zip to compress the recovery.img into .tar format using the highest level of compression. Then flash the newly created recovery.img.tar via Odin. Place the recovery.img.tar in the AP slot.
Then see if you can boot into stock recovery.

Droidriven said:
Extraiga el archivo recovery.img del archivo de firmware y luego úselo para crear un .tar flasheable de Odin usando 7zip para comprimir el recovery.img en formato .tar usando el nivel más alto de compresión. Luego actualice el recovery.img.tar recién creado a través de Odin. Coloque recovery.img.tar en la ranura AP.
Luego, vea si puede iniciar la recuperación de valore

Oh boy, this is sad to read. My friend told me that the newest Samsung UI was developed to run on their high-end phones and this made me a little upset to why they insisted on bringing it to weaker devices. If I could just override it with another UI or an new rom, my life would be a lot easier

Erecovery tried...?
I have an L09, but the only advice I can give is try different files. I had a lot of issues flashing things trying to get to 7.0 and I flashed the same version of the same images multiple times, but for some reason certain files did not seem to work. After trying other people's links eventually I found a post in which all links flashed through in a breeze and without issue.
thanks a lot for you support friend.
i have succeeded whith dc phoenix second medod.
problem partition memory system.
ok 15 euro,but restore my device

Perhaps it was possible to make without dc phoenix, I had the same issue like you, you saw it. I said you that I had used the dload method and factory reset after... but I forgot to say you, I've also repair several partitions (system - data - cust) via the TWRP. I made it before.
Sorry to have forgotten... maybe This you will have avoided to spend 15€.

Para que funcione Dload tienes que tener instalada y no dañada el recovery stock de la versión ROM que tiene tu teléfono, y segundo tener la versión ROM de tu Modelo NXT-L29 C432 BXXX Asegurate de cargar la carpeta dload en la raíz con el archivo .zip de tu version (29c432)

its say: SW REV. Check fail(Bootloader) Device 2 binary 1

i want to get back to nougat. so i using odin for flash old rom file. but its say: SW REV. Check fail(Bootloader) Device 2 binary 1. now this. what can i do for back to nougat from oreo. pls help me.
I had the same issue but the only way i found was to flash through odin without the BL file selected then you will get nougat to install but you will loose "IMEI" and will show "NULL" in settings.
Even with a "EFS" backup trying to reinstall the EFS backup through TWRP no IMEI will show up something in the bootloader has disabled the downgrade process.
I has to give up and reinstall oreo and boom IMEI is back.
Sorry i can't be more help

you are tryng to flash a older bootloader on top of a newer one is what it looks like to me what is your current firmware installed?
Do not get complicated with this issue, to solve it permanently, install the following kernel TGPKernel.G95xx.v2.8.1.20180816.zip with the can do what they want, I have a sm-g955fd install it with twrp and go! the blocks are over. Greetings from Panama.

Bootloop after updating TWRP? From MIUI official, BLU unlocked

I recently iinstalled a newer version of TWRP 5, after that i eperience bootloop and it boots automatically to recovery (TWRP). I tried wiping and factory reset, flashing a custom ROM, dowgrading TWRP to 3, still reboots to recovery? I dont have a windows machine, and I dont think I should need MIflashtool after BL unlocking?

Recentemente ho installato una versione più recente di TWRP 5, dopodiché ho provato il bootloop e si avvia automaticamente al ripristino (TWRP). Ho provato a cancellare e ripristinare le impostazioni di fabbrica, eseguire il flashing di una ROM personalizzata, aggiornare TWRP a 3, riavvio ancora per il ripristino? Non ho una macchina Windows e non penso che dovrei aver bisogno di MIflashtool dopo lo sblocco BL?

Hi, I read what happened I have some experience in TWRP I think the Windows machine takes and you will have to start all over again I'll explain you example: I installed 3.1.1-0 and after that I flash then the personal rom bla bla and I backup and save in SDcard which helps a reset and after months I decide in the app. TWRP download 3.1.1-2.img and flash and .img does not always go to download folder so I have not used the cmd for this I have done with app. however there is because the file 3.1.1-2.img is compatible so there is no need for another backup instead from 3.1.1-0.img I download 3.2.3.img then I have to make another backup because in addition to being an emulator the software is different so I have to backup this because it has to read the ROM firmware because TWRP doesn't know what I did too I have a Rom is ViperOS on j5lte I had 3.1.1-1-j5lte.img tar i used odin 3 to download 3.4.0.-0-img.tar after i went into TWRP and goodbye backup and this made me understand error.

ok let me try to understand, youre saying backups across different TWRP versions cannot be applied and cause bootloop?
My guess is, TWRP (some or any version) doesnt completely wipe (my Google account was still logged in after I got it working again) and I heard Orangefox recovery might be safer for MIUI devices

Hi, Fox for MiUi can solve some annoyance also on YouTube there are demonstrationd

Twrp Vasishath vs Twrp Nebrassy

which twrp are you using?
which is more stable?
Well as you are only using TWRP at the instant when you are flashing ROMs / rooting, no need to worry about stability. As far as I know TWRP, no matter what version, will not / very rarely , crash while flashing, as long as you install them correctly.
By the way what model is your phone?
LR7875 said:
Bem, como você está usando o TWRP apenas no instante em que está atualizando ROMs / enraizando, não precisa se preocupar com a estabilidade. Pelo que eu sei, o TWRP, não importa a versão, não irá / muito raramente travará durante a atualização, contanto que você os instale corretamente.
Aliás, qual é o modelo do seu telefone?

I have a Poco f3
Well carefully follow the instructions of installation of the TWRP.
You may need to disable vertified boot( if you don't know, ask further below)
i cant seem to find a stable twrp that will install. im rooted with magisk on my N985F running android 11. twrp doesnt even have my phone model on their device section of their website. i tried installing twrp from several places and ended up bricking my phone several times. i was able to bring it back to stock and reroot. but i need to fix the bluetooth issue with the watch and i know how to flash the the file in twrp.. been doing this on and off for years. just cant find a twrp or twrp alternative that is compatible. maybe i can edit one for my phone? im pretty frustrated. ive rooted last year with Dr. Ketan. i still owe him a beer from helping me then.

Question ¿Some Root? Samsung A127M U7

Root on most Samsung devices works pretty much the same. Enable developer options, enable OEM Unlocking, reboot to download mode, unlock the bootloader. From this point it gets a bit more complicated - if TWRP is not available for your device, you have to patch the AP file in Magisk, then flash with Odin.
Edit: Please make sure you use the Search functions and browse existing threads as the answer you need may already be available.
Here is the unofficial TWRP thread for your device.
V0latyle said:
Root en la mayoría de los dispositivos Samsung funciona más o menos igual. Habilite las opciones de desarrollador, habilite el desbloqueo OEM, reinicie en modo de descarga, desbloquee el gestor de arranque. A partir de este punto, se vuelve un poco más complicado: si TWRP no está disponible para su dispositivo, debe parchear el archivo AP en Magisk y luego flashear con Odin.

Thank you, my problem is that when I try to put a file patched with magisk it stays in the download, it gives me boot error
My problem really is that I have binary 7, I don't know how to do it there.
did you use 25.1 patched magisk? or 23.0 patched magisk?
If you used 25.1, patch the whole ap, not just the boot img
If you use 23.0, install 25.1 patched magisk.

Samsung changes a lot with their devices so it's impossible to stay atop everything. Most of my Samsung experience is with devices that accept a custom recovery binary with no other modifications, except maybe Multidisabler

That's actually quite true, I remember the phones before the S6 and how it didn't even need a vbmeta and now these days, you need a custom vbmeta or it will result in a DT Load Fail.
