Downgrade from Pie to Oreo

[Rexton270]

tf how

the most battery time i got ever was 16hrs even when i first bought the phone

Did you flashed anything? Remember after ANY flash a hard reset via recovery is a MUST!!! And also do not Restore. Install your apps fresh from Play or via .apk.

The first thing I do after boot is disable/delete Facebook and everything related to it. I think it's 2-3 more facecrap. That helps a lot.
Also the AOD is battery hog... I prefer the notification light.

4-click start on Odin now it's fully flash and now press power + volume down button and after the screen turn off directly press Power + volume down and Up now you are in download mode and check if the auto reboot is unticked

5- Click on reset on Odin and now on AP put TWRP and click on start now press Power + volume down and after the screen turn off press Power + Volume Up and now you are on TWRP go on wipe and click on format data and now go back and go to install and click on up a level and got extsd and now you flash RMM state bypasser and after verity and now reboot now you are on oreo and you install magisk after first reboot.

If you need root(twrp) or not to Oreo, only these similar files are needed for s9 and s8

Hi there, correct me if I'm wrong, but in latest Odin and newer devices (S7 and up I think) you don't use .tar file but 4 separate files : AP,BL,CSC and CL.
I updated my A8 via Odin, right after flash did hard reset and touch wood have no issues whatsoever. Knox is intact 0x0 and anything else in "original" state...

yes, in the newer ones you use the 4 separate files. old habit of saying tar.md5 since ive typed that keystroke about 900 times over my time modding the S3 and S5. I flashed my A8 within a few weeks of getting it in july '18 to oreo and it tripped my counter. Didnt root it, didnt flash twrp, just the OS update and it tripped my counter.

my Pie update was dirty flashed, but i used the home csc when flashing it and its perfectly fine. I havent factory reset it for several months for that matter

i have facebook and full messenger installed on my phone and still get well over 24 hours of use. Gained maximum 10-15% when i switched AOD off

meh. i didnt think much about it since one of the first things i did with all of my other galaxy devices is void the warranty anyways. besides, i have a UAE market device i bought on amazon that came without a warranty, so i didnt care if i voided it in the first place LoL

i guess you have an issue with your network carrier, you might want to change it as your device is constantly searching for signal, that is only my guess..

Hi, it did not work for me... I followed all your instructions to the letter, I was able to flash TWRP correctly and I got no fail messages when flashing RMM and verity via TWRP. However, when flashing stock OREO rom via Odin, I get the same FAIL message I was getting before the TWRP method, I even got the bootloader message in red as if I hadn't tried anything. I don't want this to be in vain because now I tripped the KNOX counter, but still got stuck to PIE.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

 

[Sufiane]

Please is this method works for samsung galaxy a8 sm-a530f ? Please can you explain the method with more details i will be so thankful

 

[Pro Cal]

The same happens to me keep getting this FAIL message everytime. I read somewhere you have to download a firmware with the same binary but didn't find any for me. It's the first time I heard about the binaries and I've flashed before. Can somebody say step by step how they downgraded the software please?

 

[verytobyb]

I was thinking. I have a 14 binary there isn't any Oreo with that one. I want to downgrade. Did somebody try to download a different pie version with the same binary of the Oreo version you want to download? Do you think this is possible?

Hello (sorry for my english but it is translated by google)
your procedure is not clear as you haven't even mentioned the Downgrade.zip file, however I currently have a Galaxy a8 SM-A530F with an android 9 version (A530FXXSECTJ1) and I would like to revert to the android 8 version (A530FOXM3BRL8). In your opinion is it possible to do this? If so, could you please tell me in detail how to do it? Thank you very much.
