[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] echobanzai:
i am also interested in doing this. i have had my phone for over a year, i was very careful never to download. the other day it popped up as i was taking a photo, and wham. normally i would have ripped the battery out of the back. but no such chances anymore.

the new os sucks huge. big stupid buttons, changes to the camera, the messages are pure misery.

i am on bootloader build 5. i have tried to use odin several times, only to discover this bootloader number thing on these forums.

im going to be furious if last week i was build 1.

at this point i would consider rooting the phone only out of spite to samsung for not letting me customize my phone anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Gabriel Martins:
You can only go back to Android 8 if you have bootloader version 4. Use this code on your phone *#1234 # to know your version of bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sega:
Cool I will check after Easter and see what boat loader it is.

If even OEM boot loader is downgrade is off, can I still do it? If it’s version 4?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Gabriel Martins:
You do not need to shut down OEM to downgrade! Respect only the bootloader version, otherwise it will brikar the cell phone, downgrade before the April patch as it is coming with bootloader version 5.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] echobanzai:
how do i shut down oem?

also, i hit the code to get the bootloader version, and all i get is a ussd error.

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

damn my bootloader says a bunch of numbers then 5 towards the end.

so that means im on b5.

is there a way to downgrade this to the old software if i am at b5?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Gabriel Martins:
Use *#1234# or App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

You do not need to disable OEM to downgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] echobanzai:
bootloader is

g955usqu5xxxx

again, freaking phone popped up the offer to download at the exaxt same second i clicked to take a pic. thats pure garbage there. now i am on bootloader 5.

this is an s8 i am using, but i have a brand new s9 i have been holding back to use.

i want to fix the s8 before i stash it into storage as my backup.

can i downgrade the os to the former?

if not, if i root the phone, can i downgrade the os?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Gabriel Martins:
You can not because Oreo uses bootloader version 4, forcing a downgrade will turn your phone into a brick.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Dude is wrong. Some Oreo does use bl 5. You can down grade

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

Umm incorrect information. The 955u most def has Oreo on a bit 5 bootloader

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

U models do not have OEM unlock only F exynos models
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Gabriel Martins:
He is right, I did not realize that you use snapdragon and there is yes oreo with version 5 of bootloader so you can do Downgrade normally.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] echobanzai:
thanks so much for helping guys!

what is the oreo version i have to hunt down.

im on t-mobile.

i tried to backdown using odin, it kept giving me errors. does odin protect the phone lol?

so if i get the proper oreo os, with the boatloader 5, odin will work?

thanks again for helping me out!!!

hey, which one is the one to use? android 8 is oreo?

i tried two 7.0's, and i might have tried the earliest 8.0 on this list.

do i just go higher up, and odin will just bang it in there?

thanks so much again!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Gabriel Martins:
I came back to the Oreo, well done system, with fluidity and great performance, Samsung Android Pie is crap.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Version 7.0 uses bootloader version 2, and there is version of Oreo that uses version 2, 3 and 4 of bootloader, do not use these, use this here to have no problems;

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JR1979:
I have a stock Galaxy Tab A - SM-P580 - 16GB. I am using a 200GB SD card. I am running up against the wonderful internal storage issue. I have less than 1GB of free internal storage. It says I have 7GB in Apps. I assume the rest of the storage is being used by the Android OS. I would like to move a pile of this to the SD card but am not being allowed to. I have read about using various mods that will allow me to use the SD card (partial or fully) as internal storage and I have read pros and cons regarding doing that. I need to do something so I am asking: what is the best path to take here? Caveat: This excludes buying a new tablet with more internal memory. :) Thank you all!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
RPMB FUSE BLOWN is normal and it's blown on everyone's phone.. The second issue is you're probably using the wrong firmware so it's not going to work.. You're supposed to use odin to flash back to the firmware you had before you used the beta pie firmware version.. At this point I would recommend that you odin back to the firmware version you were on before you used the pie version and let the phone automatically OTA update itself!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
Try using a different version of odin look for a newer version or the edited version. Also you need to read this first page about downgrading back..

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/snapdragon-official-note-8-n950u1-t3893612

Something about AT&T being in a boot loop..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Dradka:
I tried many versions of Odin and the same stuck on the Set Partition step , Is that mean I need the PIT file to flash the new firmware?.

I have SM-N950U not SM-N950U1 and I have only Download mode .

SM-N950U doesn't has ATT firmware and when I asked about the stock ATT firmware SamMobile said that I can use USC or CCT firmware .

I don't know how I can fix it .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
Yes you need the PIT file it's the CSC file just extract that one file and not all of them and then in odin options add the PIT file and then in the other options select re-partition and also Nand erase all and then try. Make sure you're using N950U firmware ONLY and NOT N950U1!! By the way at the very end of the files you're flashing DELETE the part at the end of it the .md5 part so it only says .tar

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
I have no idea what is going on then bro.. Try an older version of odin then? Not prince comsy though you really shouldn't need that.. Try flashing the N950USQS5CRK1 firmware instead. Also try getting into recovery mode and select factory reset if you can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Dradka:
Thanks bro.

I don't live in USA now and I have different SIM-card ,Is it necessary to have USA SIM-card to flash the new software?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
Where did you get the phone from? Is it an actual N950U or is it an N950F? Can you get into recovery mode and get me a screenshot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Dradka:
I don't have recovery mode , I have only download mode .

I was having the phone brand SM-N950U on download mode before this problem and after the problem the brand name gone and replaced with ( Rpmb fuse blown - rpmb provisioned )

This AT&T unlocked phone from USA and I'm sure that its N950U because I flashed many firmware before without problems (Just I have system UI error sometimes ) , and I checked it's IMEI on this site

https://www.imei.info/?imei=358502081255039

and it say that is SM-N950U

I'm not in USA now and Samsung service-care didn't help me and they said they only have service for N950F version .

so really I have a problem and I don't know how to solve it.!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] datajosh:
It sounds like you may have been on the U1 beta. In order to flash U firmware again, you have to use the patched version of Odin:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
Someone flashed your phone with different versions of firmware. This is usually done when the phone is a mix of different hardware parts and not original. If you try to flash the phone you're liable to get bricked because it's expecting different versions of firmware for each different hardware part. It's usually not worth keeping and if you just bought it, return it!

Type command "fastboot getvar anti

If the output returns empty, then ARB was not yet enabled on your device. If the output returns a number, then the number it returns is your current rollback index. For example, if it returns “anti: 4” then ‘4’ is your rollback index.
