From my knowledge of Samsung devices, No. Samsung devices have binary versions that prevent downgrading. If you update to a newer Android version, an e-fuse get's blown (I think) and will prevent you from downgrading to an older version of android.

How can I downgrade my Android 8.0 to 7.0? (Mate 10 lite)

Hey,
Altough I bet there are hunderds of threads like this, I decided to create another one
So because I have my mate 10 lite around 2 years (a bit less), I would like to get an upgrade. Sadly I won't get Android Pie officially, so I'd like to install a custom ROM.
To do that I need an unlocked bootloader which dc-unlocker is only able to do below Android 8.0.
So I would have to downgrade my Android 8.0 (Btw, EMUI is also 8.0) to Nougat 7.0.
The method through HiSuite didn't worked since it just says "Newest Developer Version installed", but nothing with "Switch to other versions".
Also through Firmeware Finder (Playstore App) it doesn't show me the option "In-App Proxy", so I guess it doesn't work either with that.
Is there another way to do, if so I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance
My Mate 8 also keeps on Android 8.0, without any update to Android Pie officially.
If the official utility, HiSuite, which is developed by Huawei doesn't work, we maybe have no way to downgrade the system software on Mate 10 or Mate 8.

It all depends on your current build version. If I remember correctly the ability to use DC was patched in most custs in May or June. So if your security date is prior to May you can still use DC. If not you're out of luck. You can use testpoint to flash board software and then get unlock code through there, but it requires you to remove the back of your phone which will break IP rating and void warranty (If it's still under warranty)

Can i install android 6 or 7 or 8 on samsung a10s

Hey there I have rooted my android 10 to enable wps but unfortunately it is not working
So
I want to downgrade android version from 10 to any other version that supports wps connection
Can I and how ?
There is no way in how you could ever downgrade to a version, which was lower than the version the device was preshipped with. You cant downgrade a Galaxy S8 to 6.0.1 for example, as it was introduced with 7.0. Correct me if I am wrong but in my many years of experience, I have never seen something like that. I think the A10s was shipped with Android 9. There is no way how you can get Marshmallow/Nougat/Oreo on that Phone. Sorry!

The app for the company I work for doesn't work on Android 11. Someone has updated to Android 11 and now I need to get back with that phone. It's another company that offers this app and talking to them to update the app is very bad. I'm not a manager, I'm a simple employee with this mission to leave cell phones in good condition for the teams that use them.
