thank you for sharing
my device was successfully downgraded,
but from os 7 the update via ota jumps to os 9 instead of 8 first

Not funny.

ONLINE UPDATE TOOL.ZIP is password protected. Great, now I have a bricked device. What's the password?
EDIT1: It was 123 .... seriously???
EDIT2: After flashing it asks for password to load Android. System is encrypted. Wtf?
EDIT3: Did a wipe, works now. But it asks to download almost 2gb update and there is no way to cancel it. I hope it's not 9.
EDIT4: Yep, it's 9. Phone demanded to update to Android 9, only then it allowed to use it.

OnlineUpdateTool.zip PASSWORD IS 123

Hi there,

Well if you turn off your wifi and mobile data at the beginning of the setup you will not be forced to download the latest version of android.

After the flash, if you are prompted for a code, do a full delete.
Do not use network during setup, there will be no update.
Perfect description!
Thank you very much!

 

[cbkottege]

before u downgrade u have to remove all the Google accounts. otherwise when u got finished downgrading u will force to update to android 9 unless u haven't unlock the boot loader..

if bootloader unlocked u can bypass setup wizard using twrp file manager.

 

[Mercyless]

Downgrading deletes all data, including accounts.
Simply set up your phone without a sim card and don't connect to wifi. There will be no update.

 

[Satharus]

Thank you

I made an account specifically to thank you. This works very well.

Just a note:
Remove your google account from your device before flashing. Otherwise, it won't let you skip the setup when you boot the phone after the flash.

This is due to a security feature in Android called Factory Reset Protection (FRP). Which essentially makes sure that the owner of the device (or basically the last account that was on it) is the same one logging in after the reset. That's why it doesn't let you skip the setup, thus forcing you to upgrade to Android 9.

If you didn't remove your google account before flashing, you'll have to:
1- Do the Pie update during the setup
2- Sign in with the same google account you had logged in before flashing
3- Remove that account
4- Do the whole flashing process from the start again

You can save yourself from this hassle just by removing the account BEFORE you flash to begin with.

Needless to say, you should disable WiFi and remove your SIM card to bypass the update on boot.

Also if I may, I have a small question. After downgrading to stock 7.1.1, can I re-flash the December OTA update to get a more recent version?

I want to do this because there's an issue with USB connection and I am hoping that the December OTA fixes it.

UPDATE: I was able to get the OTA zip files from teamandroid (I can't post the link because my account is new , sorry)

I was on 7.1.1 June 2017, so I flashed July, August, September, and October in order.

This gave me Android 7.1.2, October 2017 security patch, and fixed the USB issue.

Hi everyone,

To prevent your phone from updating, after flashing and resetting, just skip the wifi connection, or eject your sim therefore no update will be found.

Kind Regards
