Hello, is it possible to downgrade to stock MM rom directly from Oreo,or it has to be downgraded to NN first and then to MM ? I dont care about OTA updates and i wont use them,does it mean i can safely downgrade my android version without fear of bricking the device?
Thanks in advance !

hi dude, i am not a developer, just want to share my experience, i couldnt even revert it back from oreo to nougat, people say it has different bootloader, so as long as you receiving oreo from OTA, i doubt you and i will stay at this goddamn slow **** oreo os until someone figure it out how to downgrade our firmware. see you :fingers-crossed:

Hi there! So, recently I upgraded to Cyanogenmod 14 from 13 and I also upgraded from Android M to N. I'm not happy with the new update, and I'd like to downgrade back to M and to CM 13. Does anyone know how to do this without bricking the phone? I'd like to not end up with a paperweight. Thank you! Also, I have an LG G4

Would that downgrade me back to Android MM at the same time? Or would I flash that from the LG Flash Tool?

There's a lot G4 variants, I can't help you without knowing which one you have.
In any case you can just find it on the official CM page....

All the CM13 downloads are gone from the official website, but I found a version I already used on my device, so we're good! Thank you so much for your help!
Hi, got this phone for 1 month now used MM for 2 weeks then updated to Nougat but I didnt like it. Now I want to downgrade to MM is it possible with RSD Lite? If yes how? If no will factory reset solve battery drain, awfull notifications, over heating problems?
How did you upgrade? If you updated the bootloader to the N version, I'm not sure if you can revert back to MM.
OTAs are the Evil. :silly:
Updated via OTA. I could downgrade Samsung S4 isnt it possible with Moto Z? I did hard reset, downloaded my apps then closed my phone and charged it. I don't know what happened while phone was booting but it wasn't %100 battery charge btw. This battery life is killing me..
I'm sure you are not able to get back to Marshmallow because the OTA installs a new bootloader that is incompatible with the original Marshmallow

So I have to wait for fix eh
Which version did you apply?
If you updated to Nougat via OTA, there is currently no safe and simple way to downgrade back to Marshmallow as the OTA also updates the bootloader, meaning that Nougat is the oldest OS that is supported on that bootloader.
That's why I unlocked the bootloader on mine and used the technique outlined in the following thread. Not only do you get a perfectly working Nougat OS but also allows you to keep the old bootloader should you decide to downgrade to Marshmallow.

Ah, I was hoping you had the first release of N. But it looks like you have the current one.
If someone reveals easy and safe way to downgrade please tag me I don't have much time to check forums
Nougat upgrade OTA leaves you in a tough position
My new Moto Z took an update from stock MM to Nougat 3 days after I got it. Stupid me, I should not have accepted the OTA update. But I did. And you cannot go back to MM because the update contains a new bootloader that makes it a one way trip.
Search my other posts in the last few days to see that you are not totally prevented from unlocking and rooting. But unlocking the bootloader leaves a trail forever because a solid state fuse gets tripped forever.

I did not downgrade from 7.0.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone with twrp 3.xx and then used phh's Superuser.
But I must admit that I have not loaded a third party ROM yet. I want to load stock 7.1.1 when Motorola releases it in February or March.
Question would it be possible to use RDS light or the program at the beginning of this form to unlock set bootloader and then proceed to route
Hello,
i have installed a custom rom on my Moto z but now I want to get back to stock Rom. I really cant find the stock 7.1.1 Image and recovery anywhere, can someone please upload a backup of his system image, Recovery etc. so I can go back to stock.

Nope. This problem will be if you try to downgrade from 7.x.x. Upgrade should be painless. Also you can choose any channel. It will be work, but without ota`s updates.
I`ve installed retus on retcn. All working, except otas. Maybe in oreo smthng changes.
Also remember, you doing at your own risk. If you don`t fully understand what you doing - don`t do it. (Google it before )

Well, isn't it exactly what he meant? He has a 7.1.1 system, and the only version on that site was 6.0.1, so basically he will have problems with downgrading from 7 to 6, right?

But IMO not worth going through all that, it's all hype by people always wanting the latest possible. Oreo is not that much different. I'm rooted also & I'll be waiting for my favorite custom rom to be released in Oreo rather than going back to stock & take the OTA.

No problem. To get OTA, Device Status in Settings needs to be Official as well as in download mode Current Binary & System Status. Flashing back to stock fw will take care of that.

Use SamFirm, Sammobile is only good if you need to download an older firmware.
Currently using firmware 47.1.A.12.270 with root+drm fix. I'm considering to upgrade my phone to Pie but i'm unsure about its stability. I wanna hear how stable is Pie and is it good to upgrade?

Since you are already rooted - you could (probably) downgrade... although I am not able to find official firmware for OREO.
My device is 0FCE:01F3 (seems that there is a different version of Sony Xperia XZ1 with id 0FCE:B00B).
I guess that you have nothing against unlocking the bootloader
So in other words: you could try upgrading and see (although way back might be difficult).
As for me... I have accepted the upgrade and I regret that.
Android 9 Pie blocks one feature that is mandatory for me: call recording is no longer possible.
There should be some gesture navigation - it is not present in pie on xz1.
Except that... you should be going into a better direction. I am not sure about root availability for xz1... shouldn't be a problem I guess?
P.S.
I bought this phone only because my previous (it was gt-n910c) had some HW issues with calls. I wanted a phone with NFC and my assumption was I won't root it (to use banking apps without magisk). Now it seems that my calls are flawed and I might need to use magisk+root... and I am not able to physically remove bloatware (especially spyware called fatbook or something like that). Shame on google, Shame on sony.
As your bl is already unlocked download Xperia firm and see if Pie is available in your region, if so download Newflasher (read how to use it), there is a root guide posted here for Pie.
It's in the guide section
