You'll need to turn off FRP Lock.
You do that in Developer Options. First, you'll have to turn on Developer Options, if you haven't already. To turn on Developer Options:
Settings > General > About Device. Click on Build Number several times until you see the message that Developer mode is now turned on.
Now, go back up one level and you should see Developer Options.
On the list of options under Developer Options, make sure the check box next to OEM unlock is set. This will turn off the FRP Lock that you see on the Download screen.
You should be good to go.

It fails because SM-G900T3 yo uhave is different a bit from from SM-G900T. I have the same model you have and followed the instructions here successfully:

Yes, turn on the OEM Unlock. This will allow you to flash a non-stock Rom, and also root your phone. If that is off, then you can only flash stock ROMs and you can't root.

There is no rooting difference between the 900T and the 900T3. The real difference is in the firmware.
To root my 900T3,
1) I copied the SuperSU file to my SD card.
2) I flashed TWRP using ODIN
3) Used TWRP to Install the SuperSU .zip file.
The files you have listed in your original post should work to root your phone.
I had to reflash my firmware the other day, and after doing so I re-rooted my phone.
I used the following:
TWRP 2.8.7
ODIN v3.09
BETA-SuperSu-2.74-2-20160519174328.zip
But, your versions should work.
Rob
Make sure you try it with Odin 3.09, anything later than that doesn't appear to work with the T3.

I don't remember where I got Odin 3.09 from, but it's not hard to find. I thought at first that I wasn't going to be able to root, but it turned out to be an Odin compatibility issue.
Yes, I'm running Nougat now. I ran the stock roms for a while and liked them, but I was looking for a better way of controlling the LED brightness at night and decided to try a CM-based rom. Resurrection Remix seemed to be the best of the bunch, and it turned out to be a LOT better than stock. You probably think your Marshmallow Samsung rom isn't laggy, and neither did I until I tried RR. I like Marshmallow, but the Nougat interface (notifications, etc) is better. What I do now is flash the updates from Samsung to get the latest modem/firmware, then flash or restore the Nougat rom.
Marshmallow to Lollipop 5.1.1 on T3?

Hi, I hate marshmallow and nougat and am selling my LG G5 and bought a sm g900t3 and I want to downgrade to LP 5.1.1. I am having the same troubles as Odin aborts even with OEM off.

If you're going back to Lollipop from either MM or Nougat, you're doing something wrong! Lollipop is the worst Android release to date, imo (I've used every version of Android since 2.3). I'm guessing your complaint is with the LG or Samsung flavours of 6.x & 7.x? In retrospect, it's obvious that Lollipop was a half-baked transition between the excellent KitKat and the even more excellent Marshmallow. I don't know why you can't flash, but some bootloaders are locked (although in your case OEM unlock would seem to suggest otherwise). My T3 doesn't have the OEM unlock option, btw. My very strong suggestion would be to try different versions of Odin & stock firmware until you find a combination that works, followed by flashing some variant of Lineage (I use Resurrection Remix which, judging by your signature, may suit you). I resisted an AOSP-based rom for the longest time because of years of putting up with proprietary driver interface problems when using a non-OEM-based rom, but on the GS5 all those issues appear to have been solved. My phone is more responsive than a GS7 running TW, the battery life is significantly better, I have more customization options than I can shake a stick at, and I'm on the latest version of Android (7.1.2) so I have all the features and security patches. Unless you have some pressing need to use an app that requires the Samsung framework, there's absolutely no good excuse for being on a TW rom.

I also have used ever android version and 5.1.1 was my favorite, I love the ext sd card r/w permission without formatting the card, my LG G5 ran RR 7.2 for awhile not I'm on LG native. but in my opinion the S5 is the best phone made and for the life of me I can not get it to accept lollipop from marshmallow. I will keep on trying tho. Thank you for your responde.

jtatex: did you ever get past your Odin issues with G900T3? I am trying to downgrade to 5.1.1, tried several official ROMs from sammobile and several versions of Odin. Consistently getting FAIL! (Auth) on aboot.mbn with the phone saying:
SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 1
Any ideas?
No LP 5.1.1 for SM G900t3

I'm going to try and get an original SM900T, kk 4.2 was the original OS, this 900T3 crap bootloader lock that Samsung came out with is not worth a crap

So the locked bootloader is the culprit? I guess they started locking bootloaders with this T3 model?
I wonder if there is a firmware package that has bootloader removed. Or if 5.1.1 stock can be flashed without flashing bootloader. I suppose that won't work when talking downgrade...

Hi all,
I have the SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon) running android 4.4.2. I had a bit of a **** up the other day and finally managed to get my phone booting again. My issue now is that I can't seem to root my phone at all.
A copy of SuperSU was installed (by a failed CF-Auto-Root while trying to fix my device), but wouldn't run when I tried it. I've now tried to root the device by:
CF-Auto-Root - Runs smoothly but still no root
Towelroot - Device not supported message
CWM -> Install via zip - Says it worked but root unsuccessful
Kingo - Failed to root
I've tried multiple things now but no matter what I do, the final result will be a device that isn't rooted even if whatever rooting method says it was successful. I also can't run apps that won't run on rooted devices because they think my device is rooted (not sure if this is knox? mine has been tripped).
Anyone have any idea?
Try root genius it works
Downloaded root genius, ran it, everything went perfect and it said "Gratz".
Still no root according to root checker and Xposed. I have Kinguser installed now too which says root access is "ON".

Anyone giving you advice on how to root without knowing your build version of the software you are currently using shouldn't be trying to "help". Since you have not had any success and having leftover apps / files that you can't delete without root means you should reinstall the stock operating system via Odin and restart the process. You absolutely need to be aware of the build version - just saying I have 4.3 or 4.4.2 installed is not enough information and the methods can vary depending on that and even, sometimes, via carrier or region.

Oh man that's how I broke it the first time. I didn't realise I needed version numbers etc, I simply followed te "how to unroot galaxy note 3" guide on galaxynote3root. The guide looked simple enough and linked me to the SM-N9005 firmware so I just followed the instructions. The flash failed in ODIN, phone wouldn't boot, and I was stuck in this mess of trying to learn about all these different ways of flashing with no idea what my version numbers were as I couldn't boot the phone.
After trying to flash all kinds of versions on to it (didn't really have much choice) I luckily stumbled across an old cwm backup, so I got cwm and restored that backup. Turns out it was a backup I did for my ex's phone (also Galaxy Note 3 but from Bulgaria, no idea which model, mine is from UK). I reset factory settings and that's where I am now.
If I post my version numbers here could you show me where to find the right files for Odin? I really had such a hard time trying to figure out what the hell was what with the million different firmware versions...
Model Number: SM-N9005
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: N9005ZHUENE2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1955971
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005XXUGNG1
SE for Android Status: Enforcing
Security Software Version: MDF v1.0 Release 3
Edit: Been looking at firmware on sammobile and there's multiple versions of stock for N9005XXUGNG1 in all different languages, the difference is the CSC code however there isn't one for mine (mine seems to be from hong kong or something), does the CSC matter or can I download the United Kingdom N9005XXUGNG1 and flash that regardless of matchng CSC? Or can I fix my CSC? :/
Could someone move this thread to http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help please I think it would be a better place.

Yea, it does get a little tricky since there are so many different versions of the software for Samsungs like these that are world phones. So your Build Number suggests that it's the version for the UK firmware, yet the baseband is from the Hong Kong region. You mentioned that the Odin install failed so I wouldn't think that the baseband had been changed, suggesting that originally it was an HK phone. With most of the unlocked non-carrier specific Note 3s, you should be able to install the official firmwares from whichever region, though there might be differences in service from the modem/baseband version or apps and languages specific to that region, but these problems should be easily solveable. I think I would try this one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/38070/N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNJ3_BTU.zip/ This is the unbranded version for the UK region.

Another thing I was thinking...you obviously have a custom recovery if you restored your gf's backup and tried to install SU that way...why not just pick a custom rom which is already rooted and could contain other fun / useful mods?

No, the full firmware flash has the CSC built in, I just provided the other link for further info. As far as roms, I can't really say. I mod phones for people as part hobby / extra money and don't see the international version often enough to know the roms that well as I tend to just get the carrier specific ones to work on. Now that Lollipop is out for it, looks like there are a lot more choices which we don't have here in the US yet. Just think about what you want to focus on (battery life, mods, stability, etc) and read through the reviews to see if people are experiencing good things. I personally don't care for Touchwiz and the Samsung devices I've owned, I just jump straight to something CM based, but it's not for everyone and you might lose some functionality in some respects (some S-Pen features) and gain it in other places (ability to mod almost everything, slimmer, no bloat, etc) For my customers though, I almost always recommend something stock based as there tends to be less of a learning curve and thus less issues I have to help people navigate through.

Crap, just tried to load that one...same problem I had the first time round. It gets to "system.img.ext4" then fails. My phone will stay on the downloading screen now until I reboot it then I probably can't boot

ODIN: Invalid ext4 image
Odin shows:

<ID:0/004> system.img.ext4

Edit: Yeah I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". Won't work in Kies though it'll say unsupported version.
Edit 2: Tried again with a different cable (official samsung also) and different usb port, same result. Also ran files from desktop instead of usb this time but didn't help.

That' s really odd... Maybe try the HK version then, matching the baseband version you have. Sucks that all the links are so darn slow. You might want to spring for the premium Sammobile account to expedite the process. They have a week membership for 5 pounds and should provide a significant increase in download speeds if you need to get your phone back up in a hurry.
You might try the Emergency mode in Kies to described here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00059169/81100 to see if that helps anything.

I already got the week membership 2 days ago when I was trying this the first time Downloads were going to take 6 hours each and I'd already signed up to like 5 other sites (free) which all turned out useless anyway lol. Will try the HK one now (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/29373/N9005ZHUENE3_N9005ZZHENE3_TGY.zip/) Hope it's right

Well damn it actually worked! Something is wrong through because apps are crashing and constantly spamming error boxes making it unusable...would it be some compatability thing with it being the kong kong firmware and me in uk? Don't know if it matters whether it's the hong kong one.
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped."
endless spam.
Edit: Ok I reset factory settings and now it works but it's in chinese. If I simply change the language to english is that it? It's the same as having everything back at stock and will work fine in uk? Or can I change to a proper uk stock?

That should be it. You have the same baseband with this version as you had so you should not notice any difference in service or the like. I WAS going to suggest the HK version first but you said you got it in the UK so thought it should work that way. Sorry!

Thanks so much man, this was driving me mad for a few days. One final thing if you don't mind, it's offering me a samsung update to the firmware, it says it's for VoLTE support and after updating the firmware I will be unable to downgrade due to the security policy. Is it fine to update or will it interfere with things in future like using a custom rom?
Thanks again really.

My pleasure. I know how frustrating these things can be and I have a crazy amount of experience with this kind of stuff. You shouldn't have an issue with the update or doing custom things afterwards as the bootloader on that model is not locked, so you would still be able to install a custom recovery and custom rom, if you would like. If it's the 5.0 update, then you might have trouble using KK roms and you definitely can't go back to official 4.4.4 at that point, but it's probably just a minor update for the modem and not the full 5.0 update yet.
Hey friends, I am very new to the rooting scene. I have a at&t htc m8 and i made the mistake of trying to root the fast and easy way. I followed a guide by a user names Unlocker. I would post the link but am unable to at this current time because i am new here
That has it's readers use hasoon2000's all in one toolkit. Well I think I screwed up in that process. when my phone was off and charging , the screen would briefly flash the TWRP ui with their lock screen. So naturally I freaked out tried my best to unroot the damn thing by following a guide created by the same guy after he got many complaints of issues
Naturally I had problems with this aswell. Now where i'm at, at this current moment is
**tampered** ***unlocked**
I successfully (i think) removed super su and did my best to get back to stock firmware. well I failed at that aswell. I still have TWRP on my phone and managed to get security turned back on.
What I am asking is for any references or maybe even some fresh help on how i can either get my phone back to stock firmware so i can take the OTA updates and be on my merry way or maybe reccomend a custom rom I can use that has the new lolipop software.
Now i was looking to update my TWRP but I am unable to locate an AT&T verison. I see sprint , verizon, and GSM. I feel pretty helpless right now but if i can get some instruction I know I will be able to figure this out.
I'm still really new to this also, but I'll try my best (just take everything I say w/ a grain of salt...):

Do you mean that you'd successfully done whatever you were doing and this was happening in normal use? AFAIK it is normal for the the screen to power off during long-running TWRP actions, and power button wakes it up.

Which firmware do you have on it now? Do you have ADB installed? If so, it might be helpful if you post the output of the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
. If not, I think you'll need ADB and fastboot to help recover.

AT&T uses GSM. The GSM version should be correct. Depending on the firmware you have installed, specific versions of twrp may not work. In my case, twrp 2.8.4.0 wouldn't work on AT&T's stock 4.4.2 firmware, but would on the 4.4.4 firmware.
EDIT: Did you make a TWRP backup before attempting these changes? Depending on the state of your firmware, restoring that might be enough to fix things.
AT&T Stock 4.4.4 RUU
This should solve your problem, if you can achieve s-off again:
AT&T Stock 4.4.4 RUU

All the panic is for nothing. Its normal for the TWRP screen to appear for a brief moment when the device is powered off, and you connect the charger. At least on older versions of TWPR (and the version installed by Hasoon's toolkit is quite old).

The TWRP version you want is the GSM. All versions of the M8 are essentially the same (and considered "GSM") except for the CDMA (Sprint & Verizon) and dual SIM variants.

What the OP is describing was a known bug, and happened when outside of recovery and while the phone was powered off (and while connecting the charger).
Wow thank you for fast responses!
So from my understanding I have a outdated TWRP version. I suppose I need to read up on how to update this and also how to flash a new rom. I only rooted my phone so I could pair up my ps3 controller to my phone so I can play games on it. I regret doing it now to be honest because I have modded my 3ds to play the same games i was using on my phone
I would love to be on the lolipop update that launched yesterday I believe. Should I stick to a rooted rom or just flash a stock version? Can anyone recommend a good lolipop root that has some tweaks for battery life and overall performance?

Just get the latest version of TWRP from their website. As you are asking what version (CDMA vs. GSM) it sounds like you are already getting there.
It sounds like you have the version of TWRP that was installed by the toolkit. That version is many months old. But its a minor bug, anyway. How often do you charge the phone with it powered off, anyway. I also don't think you can do anything in TWRP in this condition (if a security risk is your concern). The TWRP appears for a split second, and that's it.

Lollipop didn't launch for AT&T, its just a long-delayed 4.4.4 update for us. To update to 4.4.4, either return to stock ROM and stock recovery to get the OTA, or relock the bootloader and run the official RUU.
Lollipop (5.0) started to roll out for some Euro CIDs, and has been out for US Dev Edition for a while. But you can't get to Sense Lollipop unless you s-off (or until AT&T releases it).
This is a custom Rom I made for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE (SM-T285), which suits my tastes.
If you have suggestions, send me a PM.
UPDATE 09/07/2016
================
A newer version that runs "root" (sepolicy constrained) scripts can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-lte-2016-sm-t3455788
Use the above version instead if you want to experiment with features like apps 2 sdcard.
Modifications:
* Based on LMY47V.T285XXU0APCN
* Stock Boot and Recovery (Not much choice since the bootloader is locked)
* Removed Touchwiz launcher and redundant samsung apps (Hancom office, Kidzone), replaced with Trebuchet
* Enabled r/w to the external SD Card
Installation Instructions:
Odin or Heimdall Required.
--FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK--
1. Make sure to backup of your data and have a copy of your stock Rom in case something goes wrong.
2. Make sure your device is OEM unlocked. (Enable Developer settings and Enable the OEM unlock settings)
3. Extract ZIP file below and flash the tar.md5 file using ODIN, for details on this kindly look for instructions in the xda site.
4. For Heimdall you can use 7zip to extract the system.img from the tar.md5 and just flash the system.img itself.

You have to go to download mode and then use Odin to flash. Unfortunately this does not root the T285.

Hi,
Anyone tried Pokemon Go update 0.37 with this ROM? The update fails to start for me. It prompts device/os version is incompatible.
I reverted back to version 0.35 and it works fine.

Yeah the newest version checks for xposed and a bunch of other things. Actually a lot of people were pissed that they did this. You'd probably need to revert back to stock if you want to play. Only systemless root and xposed with magisk works for Pokemon go now.

Hello and thank you for your work with this device. Currently I am looking for a bypass for the factory reset protection on my sm t280. I have flashed the stock md5 file 3+ times attempting to do a complete data wipe and reset, and this doesnt remove the lock. Any ideas?

To FRP unlock you have to go to developer settings and switch oem unlock to false. The stock rom should have it unless you are using a carrier locked version that I a! not aware of.

FRP is specifically designed to prevent flashing if you can't login to the device. You won't be able to flash unless the person has turned off oem unlock beforehand. I am not aware of any method to bypass this on this device.
Also the T280 and T285 have slightly different hardware so using a different recovery image is not recommended. Also since both devices have a locked bootloader, I highly doubt you can even change the recoveries from stock as I would imagine samsung using different keys for both. At the worst case it still always possible to reflash them back to stock if you do want to try

And thank you so much for selling it. I don't speak enough Spanish to make the ordeal of getting one of the T285M's from so america worthwhile. I was planning on sticking with my T239M for awhile, then I saw your T285M on ebay.
I've dirty flashed jedld's T285 debloated rom, then dirty flashed his T285 tinker rom on top of that. Both onto my T285M. Working flawlessly. Wished he'd kept the mail app, but without touchwiz I guess that wasn't possible.
Something else they blocked in the kernel or with SElinux on the T285M is screen mirroring. Can only cast directly from apps.
Still I am happy overall. Now looking for a castrated version of daemonsu!

Is this ROM compatible with Google Safetynet? I can't seem to log into Pokemon GO since I installed Tinker edition, so I'm thinking to switch to this one instead.
Haven't tried it but it should work.
Is the root part contained in boot.img or in system.img? In other words, when using Heimdall I should flash both system.img and boot.img, isn't it?
I'm getting bootloops with CM13, Omni and I don't know how I got Tinker working, I kind of remember flashing boot.img, then wiping, then flashing system.img, then wiping again.
EDIT: got this one working too by flashing boot.img (Heimdall complains it cannot receive confirmation msg) reboot into download again, then flashing system.img (this time heimdall does reboot the phone). however, pokemon go still wont connect due to google's safetynet compliance.
I'll try flashing recovery in case it is TWRP the one clashing with Safetynet.
PD: I didn't backup stock at the beggining of the process so I'm pretty much screwed with Pokemon until I can afford a new phone. But if someone has a stock ROM for T285MUBU0API2, please ping me.
EDIT2 Got pokemon working. I reinstalled TWRP (this ROM's recovery is the stock one, of course), then flashed unSU. It removed SuperSU binary and Google SafeNet got working again. I can't believe that, after so much hours I've put into finding the best custom ROM for this crappy phone, 95% of the time was spent in trying to get Pokemon GO running. I'm close to 40, FML.

1.) Turn off the phone. Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see a little Android guy. It will say Applying System Update or something like that possibly, and just let it do it's thing until a menu comes up.
2.) Select "Apply update from ADB". You can scroll using the volume buttons and select using the power button.
3.) Make sure you have ADB and the proper drivers installed on your PC:
http://dl.adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip
4.)Put the firmware in the ADB folder. You can rename it to anything easy to remember like "FIRMWARE".
5.) In the ADB folder, hold SHIFT + right mouse click and choose "Open command window here". Then type the command "adb sideload FIRMWARE" (where FIRMWARE is how you named your file).
6.) Wait patiently.
7.) The phone will reboot and will hang at AT&T logo. This can take another 10 minutes, just wait until it's done
Ok, so I'm a novice at best on flashing with Odin... just flashed my AT&T S7 for the second time today, loading the SM-G930U version of Oreo (G930UUEU8CRJ2).
My understanding is that the 8 in the firmware version (G930UUEU8CRJ2) indicates that it is bootloader v. 8. I also understand that once you update the bootloader, it is impossible to downgrade it... So when I realized I couldnt enable Wifi calling on SM-G930U firmwares I thought I would flash back to the AT&T firmware, and then debloat it to improve the performance. But i cant find an SM-G930A Oreo Rom with BL v. 8.
I thought this one might be, but the 3 files seem to be independant of each other, and the 3rd file that lloked like it might be BL8, is less than 50MB...
So Im hoping you can provide some guidance, and im hoping i didnt shoot myself in the foot with this SM-G930U firmware.
Thank you

Awesome! Thank you, thank you!
I actually really like Oreo, just trying to get Oreo and WiFi calling working on my phone (My Office at work fights all day for 1 bar of cell signal), I had hoped that WiFi calling worked in the SM-G930U variant since everyone talked about it running so much better, but alas, it still doesn't support WiFi Calling (Stupid me for thinking it might have had support added recently).
Thank you again

Thanks , G930AUCS8CRJ2 is working fine so far. Do you mind sharing how you go about 'converting' a set of ODIN files to a flashable adb zip? Do you just unextract every single archive in the .md5 files? and then zip it all up? And would rooting to G930AUCU4CRI2 brick my phone now that I am on CRJ2? My bad for all of the questions.

You mean about G930AUCS8CRJ2 sideload with adb? Im just pulling the update from AT&T servers and uploading it here. I don't know how to make sideload zip. And for the rooting part I don't know if its possible now because the bootloader binary was updated to 8, try to search here on xda and see if you can find root methods for this firmware

I actually have a S7 G930A. Rooted before, not rooted now.. Is there a way to do any of these updates without hooking up to a PC? I actually have no charge port functions and can only use wireless charger to charge the phone till i get the port fixed someday to do these features. I am on Android 8.0 oreo that i installed to sd card and updated from there like a year ago? Is that possible to do? Use SD card update.. Or. Would love to root the phone again, but cent seem to find a one click root app that will work with this phone..

I actually have no charge port functions and can only use wireless charger to charge the phone till i get the port fixed someday to do these features. I am on Android 8.0 oreo that i installed to sd card and updated from there like a year ago? Is that possible to do? Use SD card update.. Or. Would love to root the phone again, but cent seem to find a one click root app that will work with this phone..

Yes, you can update your phone without pc, just download the update you need from your phone, put the update in your sd card, go to recovery and select the option "Apply update from SD card"

I was thinking something like that was possible. I have baseband version G930AUCU4CRB5 Android 8.0.0 on the AT&T Gal S7 as mentioned, I never saw any updates from this version to go up to a newer version or get into regular updates from OTA. 2 issues I would like to also fixed, that came with the manual update to 8.0 oreo on my phone was the HR heart rate sensor on the back by your flash(red LED) always goes off.. And have tried to go to Samsung health and do some settings to turn it off, but seems to show back up eventually. Also, the issue of not having a working LED indicator, works fine when the phone is POWERED off. and charges. But in OS, it won't work, screen off or on bc of the update. If anyone knows how those issues could be fixed and if there is a possible newer update from my baseband mentioned below. And thanks for the response.
HI, Help needed
Hi,
I wanted to check if it is possible to flash the latest Oreo firmware you have here for downloading dirrectly to my samsung s7 that is currently running on 7.0? Current BaseBand is G930AUCU4BQK2
Basically what happened was that i lost all my contacts on my phone, I ended up download Dr.Phone to my laptop, which i used to try and recover my numbers. What i didnt know was that dr.phone rooted my device which has caused me nothing but headaches.
I now want to flash my phone and get updated to oreo and have my phone working normally again. Since dr.phone did whatever it did to my phone I lost use of my finger print scanner, had to disable samsung health as it kept trying to open on its own, my phone is lagging and freezing constantly..
I just want my phone to be normal again and unrooted and updated.
Lastly my phone is an AT&T device, that i bought second hand in Dubai, if i flash stock firmware is it going to carrier lock my device to AT&T again?
Any advice and help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Is it still possible to go back to an earlier version of Android?
It used to be possible to do so by flashing the bootloader from an earlier version of Android.
A guy called @freeza used to make bootloader packages back in the galaxy note 4 days.
Is it still possible?
i am wondering too...
You can still go back to Android 10 firmware without any special packages. Just use Odin to flash previous firmware.
Samsung did not update the bootloader version with Android 11.
Still on bootloader U1 for Android 10 and 11.
Is there a guide to using Odin to flash previous firmware? I hate Android 11!I woke up this morning to find my tablet had been updated to it and I want to go back to Android 10.
Search for the wanted firmware on this site and read the instructions on the right side of the page

I have successfully reverted back to android 10 ATK4 using the directions from the Sammobile site linked above, however I got my firmware from Samfw website, much faster download. Quick and easy.

Just a reminder, the bootloader does not need to be unlocked to flash stock firmware.
The only thing you cannot do is flash firmware that has an older bootloader version. Most of the time it will simply fail, but you can soft brick your device as well.
I also managed to install android 10 like you guys, but how do you keep it from updating?
Any ideas?
FYI, didn't root or unlock the bootloader, but it still worked, yay!

if you root you could use an app to freeze the update service I believe you can. like using titanium backup.
My tablet version is T970OXM2BUC1, is this method impossible anymore?
Even if I try,
sw rev check fail abl fused 2 binary 1 image extract failed
Error was displayed.
Or is it possible if it is rooted?
I want to use wm overscan command...
The screen is too big to play the game comfortably.
It wasn't good that I didn't update often.
If I had updated it a month ago, I should have been able to get back easily...
I'm not good at English, so I'm sorry if the sentences are strange.
having damndest time helping my bro in law try to move his Tab S7 (T870) back from A11 to A10. All attempts have failed. Have tried multiple PC's, multiple USB cables, Multiple versions of the XAR A10 firmware. Have even unlocked OEM bootloader, still same errors in Odin. Have seen others say they can get back from A11 to A10. But for some reason this damn tablet won't work. Beginning to think something with the updates on it have made it incapable of going back to A10. Keep getting SW REV CHECK FAIL: [abl] Fused 2 > Binary 1 error on Download screen on tablet itself. Odin just has failed after it gets to xbl.elf. Thoughts?

The tablet is already on bootloader 2.
"[abl] Fused 2> Binary 1" is what you get when you try and flash a lower bootloader image.
No going back., even root can't change that.
Well... You can go back from BUAC (I did it) but personally I don't know if you can from beyond that.
So there is no going back for peeps like me who have the following
RP1A.2000720.012.T970XXS2BUC1 ?

Nope... you now have a version 2 bootloader.
You can only go forward at this point, or remain where you are.

well damn that sucks. my bro in law had me convinced he hadn't upgraded it. turned out he had updated it to that newer service update which patched the bootloader. pretty crappy of Samsung to do that, when only trying to flash back to older Android version. I dont care about keeping same bootloader, just want to help him get A10 back on this thing. guess he gonna return it now. lol thanks for the info.
