Thank you for posting this. I was hoping when my phone said there was an update today that it would be Oreo. No such luck. Thanks for the upload though.

Downgrade from 8 to 7.1.1

Stock Nougat N950USQS3BRB2 Odin files for AT&T NOTE 8

Can I use this download to downgrade from N950USQU2CQL7 (Oreo) back to 7.1.1? The boot loader is 2 going to 3. Will this break my future OWA updates from ATT?

Thanks for any help, because I'm confused.

Yes, you can use this and flash back to Nougat.

Yes, this is bootloader version 3, so you won't be able to flash back to any previous build in bootloader version 2.

No, it won't break any future OTA updates. If you do experience any problems with OTA updates, I do have them available to flash manually, if needed.

It worked!

I installed it and as soon as it booted (and I got through all of the setup), it said there was an OTA update. I installed it and now I'm back to a functional phone with the latest OTA update!

Thank you!

I cant get this to download. Every time it is corrupt or the files have errors and will not load up to Odin. I've tried different browser, different pcs. Nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

You mean the link isn't working for you?

 

[Kakarot2614]

No, I dont think so. I've tried to download it 20 times already. First time I downloaded, it says download finished. Then when i went to unzip it, there was 5 files and I got some sort of error unzipping on 2 of the 5 files. So I downloaded it again, this time I only got 2 of the 5 files with another error. Redownloaded, got 5 files, error unzipping. Tried different download managers, different browsers.... I'm lost......

Hmm, weird. No one else encountered this problem. I'm going to have to upload a new file link.

Make sure your phone is in download mode. I'm about to give this a go when I get home tonight. There are lots of little things about Oreo that I don't like.

Should be flashing all files that match up with the slots in Odin. I don't think the HomeCSC is absolutely needed (I believe it preserves your data, not sure). I've never used it before. Just know this will erase everything on your device.

My phone is currently bricked, or at least I believe so. It was bricked before and I flashed a different firmware, and after I had it working I upgraded all the updates through the phone to Oreo, from Nougat 7.1.1, and then tried to root it which was stupid on my part, now the firmware that un-bricked my phone won't flash again and it stops after it says xbl.elf. Also on my phone after it fails it says something about SW Rew 3 > binary 2 or something along those lines. I believe this is happening because the firmware I am trying to flash that worked before is now older or something, and right now I am downloading this firmware to try it out.

I have tried flashing this onto the phone, the first time everything went fine, but then when the android came up it said Error..., then it just goes to the charging circle but it doesn't show what my battery is at, and also what I have noticed is my phone will not go into download mode or do anything unless it's plugged in, I have no idea what to do as of right now.

Ok let me know how it goes.

Ok let me know how it goes.

Had a couple of scares but it worked fine.
1. After selecting the files in Odin, it took a while for a couple of the files to populate into the slot. Wasn't expecting it to take so long to analyze the files.

2. After it finished, there was a pause at 32% on the phone saying there was an error. After a minute or so it rebooted.

3. When it rebooted it went to a screen saying the phone was encrypted and to enter my password. I had never encrypted the phone, plus, I had done a complete factory reset before flashing in Odin.
The solution to fix this was to power off, boot to recovery, factory reset and clear cache. It booted up fine after that.

Now I'm back to what I wanted. I had purchased Package Disabler a while back so I first installed that and disabled software update so it won't upgrade to Oreo.

So now you are in Oreo?

 

[jack man]

No. Read my last sentence in my last post. I did all this so I could go back to Nougat and stay there by disabling the software update. I did not like Oreo. I didn't like the way notifications were changed for Oreo. Badges were tied to status bar notifications, unlike Nougat.
Plus, my phone didn't feel as smooth in Oreo and my battery life was worse.

I'm staying on Nougat for a while.

My phone is not unlocked. The UI in Nougat and Oreo are very much the same. There are some features that are different to each one.

I don't see how you can upgrade to Android P. Oreo for Samsung was just released back in March. Unless there's something I don't know, P won't be released for this phone for quite a while. But I hope I'm wrong about that.
