[GUIDE] Go back to Android 9 after installing android 10

Search This thread
First of, if you are counting on restoring from a cloud backup, it's not possible.
Because the phone looks for updates and forces you to update if you turn on wifi or mobile data!
Make sure you removed your google account from the device while on android 10!
Go to settings, accounts and remove every account you have there.

From this post, get the following files:
  • 00WW 354H July 2019 Full ROM
  • 00WW 354H SP01 August 2019
  • 00WW 354H SP02 September 2019
  • 00WW 354H SP03 October 2019
  • 00WW 354H SP04 November 2019

After that, flash the last Android 9 version (Full Rom) from July.
(You might want to use this program for the full rom flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ol-stock-rom-flash-tool-nokia-7-plus-t4023961 )
Then flash August, September, October and November.

Start your device, configure it, without connecting to network. That means, you wont be able to restore from a cloud backup!

After configuring, go to developer options and disable automatic system updates!

And you're good to go.
If you ever find your device updating to android 10, change slot in fast boot.

You're missing adb and fastboot, download and install https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
