Note 7 Stock ROM Downgrade Help Needed

[Rajaqaiser]

Hi
I am happy user of Samsung Note 7 but Samsung doesn't care about it, I am totally new to all this stuff and it is only Note 7 which dragged me here, I need some help, I am trying to downgrade the stock firmware but when I try this by using Odin, I get an error message "Sw rev check device 2 binary 1", I know this is because of old and new bootloader difference,but there must be a solution for this problem and I request for this help. I am trying from last 2 days to get as much info as I can from internet but now I am tired,LOL, my note was update on 1st nov and It got restricted to 60% charging but after a hard work I went back to 80% charging again but now I want to go back for 100% charging. I know about Hydra Rom and I installed that as well but I like stock firmware.
so is there someone who can help me? that will be highly appreciated.
Regards.

Yeah, I tried doing it too. But it will be very complex.
1.- Use the Smart Switch app on your PC to backup the phone.
2.- Set the airplane mode.
3.- Delete Google and Samsung accounts.
4.- Power offand remove SIM
5.- Open the latest version of Odin.
6.- Load the Old Stock ROM
Tick and be careful here. To only tick the "Phone Bootloader Update" box. And be very very careful not to un-tick or tick anything else. Specially the Nand Erase That will hard brick the phone.
Then set your phone into download mode and flash again.

There is a risk as the phone reboots to ask you to connect to the internet. Because it will check for updates.

Thanks for reply,
Do I need to load old BootLoader file in BL Tab in Odin? and only F.Reset Time is checked by default and no other option is checked even Auto Reboot is not checked, do you think I should go that way.

Thanks for trying. The only available option is to flash a Custom ROM now

I tried HydraRom which is much closer to Stock ROM, i think this is best one if you want your Note to look like stock.

you can't even downgrade galaxy s6 edge+ offical firmware to 5.1.1 i think samsung is stopping all phones from downgrading
Bootloader Version 4 (BL4) can't downgrade with Odin, and i think twrp flash won't work either.
