    Post Possible to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat?

    Fixed And just like that, as soon as I post this, I get it to work. After spending all night trying different versions of Prince Odin and different firmwares, I just switched to normal Odin and it worked immediately, so back to 7.1.1

    Where are you guys seeing the estimated delivery dates? Anyone have a screenshot? I only show "Label Created" on the 4th and nothing else. Apparently mine is still waiting to be dropped off to UPS.
