Downgrade to Nougat from Oreo SM-N950W

[cubanonoobie]

If this possible without root? I read somewhere that OREO comes with new modified bootloader that doesn't allow to go back ? Anybody can offer a link to follow instructions?

Depends which version of Oreo you are on. What is your baseband number(firmware number) found in about phone.

See attached. Thx

And here is the baseband version that was on my phone prior to the update. I also downloaded it from Sam Mobile and tried to flash it with Odin but it failed.

Root has nothing to do with downgrading.
Your oreo bootloader version is 4, the nougat version you're trying to flash is 3. You can't downgrade.
And you won't find a v4 nougat firmware.
