Saw this in PPCSG Forums, maybe you could try this...

"Can someone try if the below steps can cold reset the I780???

1. Remove the storage card from the device, if one is

present.

2. With phone powered off:

 Press and hold both the left and right softkeys.

 While both softkeys are held down, press and

hold until the unit powers on.

3. As the device begins to power on, release both

softkeys.

Note Once the phone powers on, you should see an

onscreen alert message (a white screen with blue text).

If you do not see this screen, let the device power up

normally, turn it off again, and then repeat steps 2 and

4. Immediately after the alert screen appears, press

the left softkey.

5. If the reset was successful, the device displays a

pop-up message stating the device is currently

reformatting. This process can take several

minutes. Allow the process to finish without

interruption."

its taking forever stuck in "reflash service bootloader" 2000 seconds and still counting

using ost 6.1.2 version to downgrade from oreo ofc to nougat
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] qwertysmerty:
You need to flash sbl/aboot from Nougat and after that use OST LA 6.0.4.

You can get sbl/aboot by installing Dec OTA via SD card from recovery. It will fail, but you will get recovery, sbl, and aboot from Nougat. So you can use old OST tool.

You had to install Dec or Jan OTA update for TA-1000 through recovery in order to get Nougat sbl/aboot for TA-1000. I can find a link in a couple of hours, sorry not at the computer atm. Or you can find yourself in OTA Update DDLs thread. Someone posted it in comments.

He can always install Oreo from SD card if there is working recovery. Oreo OTA has no preconditions, but his goal is to revert to Nougat. OST 6.0.4 does not work with Oreo sbl/aboot, OST 6.1.2 does not work either without online authentication.

No, my idea is to do it your way ie install the update.zip file in December of Nougat update with Oreo Recovery, will get the error can not update but there are (recovery, aboot ... of Nougat ?) and then using OST 6.0.4 flash back. Official software is correct?

sd card put ota january of nougat in it go to recovery mode and flash file you should name it update.zip

then when it finish (sometimes it shows error ) use ost 6.0.4 and flash in download mode your nougat nb0 .

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
So I'm gonna be blunt, I have a Galaxy note 3 bought in 2014, got an extended warranty which expires on February 16. This extended warranty says that if my device breaks and cannot be repaired in 5 working days, they will replace the phone with a new one, same model or another phone of similar value.

I've already done this with 2 tablets, a Galaxy note 10.1 and a Nexus 10 tablet (from samsung as well), both of them had a broken USB port after around 3 years and weren't charging at all.

I planned to do this as well with my note 3, but the darn thing won't break. I tried keeping it with display turned on at max brightness, charged 24/7 and running a cpu stress test. Was hoping for at least a screen burn in, but nothig, this phone runs as well as it did in the first day, even the battery is original but it's pretty deteriorated.

Anyone has any ideas how break this phone but make it look like it happened "naturally"? I was thinking of hard bricking it but didn't find anything conclusive on Google/xda.*

I'm pretty sure it won't last more then 5 years, might as well get some money for a new phone.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jmartin72:
The biggest thing for me was the bluetooth connection in may car. I have an LG Watch sport connected to my phone all the time. Before the update, it was like the watch didn't want to let go of the phone, and it would not automatically connect to the car when I got in. I would have to go into the phone, and manually select the car to connect. Then I would have to wait a minute or more before I could play music or make a phone call or the car would tell me it was searching for a phone to connect to, even though the BT light was on indicating a device was connected. The first time I got in my car, after flashing the February update, after I started the car, my phone immediately connected to the car, and Android Auto fired up just like it is supposed to. I was able to listen to music, and make phone calls right away. It has happened like that ever since. I'm so very happy that it works like it's supposed to now. As for battery, it's still great. My 2 XL has always had killer battery life. I can go about a day and a half on one charge. A couple weeks ago, I took a Friday off from work, and was busy moving, so I didn't use my phone a whole lot. I took it off the charge on Friday morning about 8:00 am, and I didn't have to charge it until Sunday around lunch time.

The Jan update made my phone a little slower and reduced battery life. This update has brought my phone back to blazing fast, and my battery life is better than ever.

With the phone out of the box I used to get 7hrs screen on time, the last few updates reduced it to 5-6 hours SOT, now it's back up to 8hr SOT over the course of a day.

57 minutes of instagram taking 11% is really really good. That would equate to 8.6 hours SOT.

I have heard that a factory reset will help a lot if you are experiencing that. Perhaps try one phone and see if it helps. I know it's a pain to do but you might want to manually restore your programs too. Def worth a shot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I think it's kind of ironic that the February update explicitly states better battery life for the Pixel 2 XL when not only has mine not gotten any better it has actually gotten noticable worse.

When I first got my Pixel 2 XL my battery drain was like 10-11% per hour of actual use for basic stuff like browsing, Facebook, texting, etc with no power hungry things like GPS navigation. Under those conditions 8 hours of screen on time over like 40 hours off the charger(basically 2 days) wasn't hard. Standby time was really good too draining no more than 3% over 8 hours of sleeping.

Now, since the February update that's no longer possible. Battery drain for actual use of similar tasks is about 14-15%. The best I have gotten since the February update is like 6.5 hours of usage over like 18 hours. Standby has dropped too. Going to sleep at 100% and waking up 8 hours the battery has drained 5%.

The battery life isn't bad but it's no longer excellent like it was before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prattham:
That stats must be on 8.0 right?

Everyone has mentioned and complained extremely good battery life on 8.0 and then reduce amount in 8.1

Google had officially said that in 8.0 pixel was reporting unrealistic battery stats ? that's why

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
The only battery thing I noticed on 8.0 was reporting at 100%. It would stay at 100% for an unusually long time and then drop very quickly to like 97% but was consistent after that. I think it was the 8.1 update that fixed that but the overall battery life didn't change(at least not enough to be noticable). For me both 8.0 and 8.1 (before the February update) got the same battery life over the course of a full 100% to near 0% charge cycle. It wasn't until the February update that the battery life noticably decreased. At least for me.
