hi everyone,,,
i am currently on xwkl1(2.3.6) firmware and i want to downgrade it to jpkj2(2.3.5), but when i flashed through odin using a single pda file it gives me bootloop,, is there anything wrong with my method of flashing using single file,, i tried to find a 3 file odin package (pda, modem, csc) of jpkj2 but couldnt find one..

Yes, i also want to do the downgrade from kl1 to jpkj2 becoz i cannot access 3g internet.
@nikz, the link mentioned just explains how to flash but not how to downgrade.
Is their an official way to downgrade?

After downgrade you have to do a wipe data/factory reset and then it work!!!

Well you can't access 3g because your apn details haven't been entered. Easy fix.
Flashing any firmware is the same process whether upgrading it downgrading. It not like an iPhone where you can't downgrade (without shsh blobs that is).

Yes, they are correct. i called the helpline last night to install the config settings but still cant connect.
I think i need a different modem (xxki4). is their a way to flash only the modem and save the downgrade process??

You can flash any modem you like without having to reflash firmware. You can flash zip versions in cwm recovery or tar versions in Odin, in the phone section.

follow instruction in this thread for flashing using odin and you should also find official uk firmware in one of the other posts in this thread.

Sorry mate,bit busy.
Unzip file.No password needed.You will see a file that ends in tar.md5.Put this file in PDA in Odin and select START without selecting anything else.When flash is finished do a factory reset.
Done.
Ok, I am lost, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I tried to install the latest XXDLI8 leak, and I am met with error 7 in CWM.
I even downloaded and flashed the needed PDA from sammobile (which is XXBLG8_XABLG8_XXLH1) but I still get error 7? The assert check fails on PreloadInstaller
What's the deal?
Did you flash root and the modem? LH1 IIRC?

I flashed Cf-root, yes, but it doesn't interfere with what the assert checks check, and I need not flash the LH1 modem since it's already in the firmware I flashed with ODIN.
I flashed i9300XXBLG8 i9300XABLG8 i9300XXLH1, which was listed as the needed PDA to flash the XXDLI8 OTA.

you need to flash this one: I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLG8_HOME.tar
and then the lh1 modem separatly or you will get the error 7.

Then why did Sammobile themselves link to I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLH1 as the needed PDA?
Don't know why. But had the same problem. Error 7 seems to be an file checksum problem and separte flashing solves it.

For me it only works without flaws if I use the odin base that perka made. Now and the I do have hiccups with it though.

Root is not really required to flash the OTA. However the Rom and the modem need to be flashed separately.

Don't use this Rom. This Rom seem to be corrupt. Instead download the LG8 Rom from goo.im and flash the LH1 modem separately.

Sammobile are linking to http://www.hotfile.com/dl/170853923/e311e2f/I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU.zip.html which still needs the LH1 modem flashed after the ROM flash.
It does work, but you have to flash the modem or you get the 7 error. As above the root steps are not needed, until after the OTA anyway.

The only reason I flash cf-root directly after odin'ing the stock ROM is to get CWM so I can flash the OTA.

Well I downloaded it and it seems like it's the "legit" LG8 one so I'll go with it.
Damnit, even more problems. I downloaded and flashed the correct LG8, then I cf-rooted, and installed the LH1 modem and when I finally was supposed to install the OTA, the assert check failed on /system/SW_configuration.xml and threw me an error 7.

So you odin flashed the base rom
then odin flashed cf-root
boot into cwm and flash LH1 and OTA (no reboot between) and error 7?
Weird. Something wrong with one of those files.

Pls dont root until fully cooked. Here are my steps.
Do factory reset before flashing
Flash stock BLG8 rom through odin and restart.
On the startup screen where you choose the lang, dont proceed further. Just restrart in the download mode again.
Flash the LH1 modem through odin and restart and again on the startup screen restart the phone in recovery mode. Do factory reset and chose the OTA file flash through recovery. Let the upgarde complete. Dont reboot, just do factory reset again and enjoy the leak.
You may root now if required.

I initially had the exact same problem .. so I downloaded the I9300BLG8 base Rom again , but the one without the LH1 modem built in and then flashed LH1 modem after flashing the base Rom. This sorted out my problem .. using this method has been working flawlessly ever since XXDLI4 for me .. worth a shot mate .

How do you get odin to flash an OTA file? I thought the whole point of the cf-root was to get to cwm? Did I miss something here?

Nope.. you can't flash the ota file through odin. Refer to my steps above, once the modem is flashed through odin, you use tge stock recovery to flash the OTA

If I wanted to upgrade to an upcoming version of Android released in whatever region got it first, how would I do to flash it through Odin without losing my region's Modem?
I know I could simply re-flash it after completing the newer rom installation, but I'd like to know if I could skip that step.
Thanks for any help.

With Mobile Odin, you can clear the modem section and keep the current modem during the flash.

Eh, if I need to root to use Mobile Odin then I'd rather wait until my warranty expires to do so, so I'd have to discard that option.
Thank you for the reply, though,
you can unroot at any time and regain warranty
Hi all,
I want to downgrade from G965FXXUAETG3 to G965FXXS7DTB1 because this modem is not supported by chimeratool. Please let me know any possibility by any means.

I got a customer who wants to downgrade from Android 10 to 8. I know Samsung has anti-downgrade protection and you can't flash older firmware using Odin.
What about rooting the phone first though and flashing the Android 8 firmware using TWRP? Wouldn't that work?

My phone is already rooted and do you have any guide how can I flash complete firmware through twrp with bootloader. Actual problem is bootloader which can't initialize previous version of modem. I have downgraded modem but it does not pick IMEI.

You'd have to flash system, vendor and a kernel that can run Android 8. Just flashing the firmware straight up won't work

I'm speaking strictly about running Android 8, not downgrading. So this method of downgrading to Oreo probably won't help you on your problem

Flash correct version of the firmware. It looks like your phone is running custom rom. Download the Korean firmware (N) and try to flash with odin.

read the thread fully.
if not the issue was solved by using an older version of Odin.
you need the appropriate ROM for your region, in your case as was mine you need firmware from Korea (N).
