Trying to downgrade my SM-G973U1. - Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion

I'm currently on Android 11, One UI 3.1. I'm trying to downgrade to Android 10. I've tried using Odin but it hasn't isn't working the error I get from Odin is fail auth and on my samsung SW REV CHECK FAIL : [alb]Fused 5 > Binary 4. If it helps my csc code is TMB.

You cannot downgrade the kernel from a11 to a10 as of my knowledge, whether someone has a workaround is something i wouldnt know.
Anyways, if Odin had flashed your phone would be bricked

Well for some reason my android isn't able to use my ps4 controller properly. Should I just go for a S9? Or is there some workaround?

Nothing man. It works completely fine on my PC, my PS4, it even works on my iPhone as well. I just don't know why it won't work on my S10

It won't connect or it bugs out?

It'll connect but none of my buttons work. Just the right analog stick it'll move that camera but that's it. The controller is brand new and I just got it recently.

Here you gooo
[Update: Fixed in Android 12] Many Android 11 users are having trouble getting games to recognize their controllers
Some smartphones running Android 11 are unable to connect to gaming controllers due to a bug. This issue has been fixed in Android 12.
www.xda-developers.com
This explains it, I didn't upgrade to A11 for these types of issue, a workaound is suggested try that! Get back to me!

Might be from January but seeming from your issues, google still hasn't isolated the issue or released a patch for it....

It didn't say which service in accessibility. It just said a certain one.

Using Mantis Gamepad and it works! Thx <3

No problem, have a nice day :3

I'm guessing...a bootloader can go up but not go down?

Depending if you are running A11 or A10

A11 vs A10?
ohhhh...you mean android version? I was remembering bootloader versions couldn't go down since like galaxy S6 days

If you are running A11 check if the bootloader changes from A11 to A10 if it does you will brick if you downgrade.

I believe A11 updates as of this post are higher bootloader versions as opposed to when it first came out early this year
So with the latest updates? Sadly not.possible...even with an unlocked phone (unless if it's a custom Rom?)

Really? Mine has been very good, but to be honest I didn't try Marshmallow extensively, the Nougat update was already rolled out when I bought the device.
Let's see what Oreo brings to the table!
This are the main differences I noticed so far, the speed animation was increased by double.
The only app with exclusive features I have is YouTube, yo can detach the video window onto the home screen, and the notifications change color based on the video playing.
And first Oreo rom out here :good:
I got the download A520FXXU4CRD5
I want system dump of stock oreo
can you share us a zip file?

Yes I saw it! You're fast my friend, I'm glad to see your Hades ROM once again!
hi,
was any of you able to disable force-encryption for the /Data partition?
I am not able to do this with my A3 on stock Oreo
do anyone have fingerprint problem after oreo update? in lockscreen fingerprint don't work, but when screen turns off, it recognizes my finger and unlocks phone. other than this problem, oreo is better than nougat in every aspect
A320F Oreo
Guys I installed Oreo (not a big improvement to android 7) but I can't root it now. Before I used TWRP with Magisk but now it won't install TWRP. Can anyone help me to root it?
Did anybody succeed to install the Stock firmware from this via Odin? My JOdin r1035 says corrupt files detected and won't do anything.
Then I unpacked all the files and flashed with heimdall 1.4.1 to the respective partitions.
That seemed to work to a degree but tripped my warranty bit and the phone wouldn't boot past the Galaxy A5 screen. Then I installed TWRP and HadesRom and now I am on this until further notice. I would like to get back to stock at some point but this doesn't seem to work with the old JOdin. I don't have a Windows computer. All I have is a Mac from work for a couple of weeks and at home all Linux.

I just did it, there was some error with the Odin version so I had to find the v3.13.1 Turns out that v3.12.x can't read some lz4 (or smt like that) files. Might want to try with that. Check on this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/odin-available-3-13-1-oreo-fws-t3755957

this also means that, once this update is released, at least for the unlocked S7, we won't be able to downgrade to marshmallow or nougat . I assume samsung is doing this so remaining s7 users are forced to stay on oreo forever

I'm sure this is just coincidence, but I've been trying to get a Sprint S7 working properly on T-mobile's network and was communicating with both T-mobile and Samsung support all last week, advocating for both of them to increase their bootloader version. In particular, I think it makes sense for the 930U to always match or exceed the highest carrier version. I'm not sure if there's any substantive difference among bootloader versions, but that way users would always have the freedom to switch carriers. (The 930P often fails to make calls on T-mobile's network, since it doesn't support VoLTE).
This should probably drop around mid-November based on past updates and codes.
I have bootloader version 7 I think if it goes by the 5th number. I keep getting fuse errors when I try to flash this phone and I've never flashed anything before.

Sounds like you are trying to flash a firmware that isn't b7. This would result in the fuse error.

Ahh OKay I figured mine was 7 because I'm on Oreo and my PDA: G930PVPS7CRH2. IM on the sprint variation and I'm just stuck at this point. I rooted my moto 4 plus the first day I tried which is a snapdragon as well. This Odin things tricky though. I guess I can't get the new xposed either then unless it's possible to install without flashing. I really would appreciate anyones help thanks ?

I'm not sure about xposed, but if you're stuck with your phone in a non-functional state after trying to install a lower bootloader firmware, you can always re-flash the latest stock sprint firmware.

Should I upgrade to Pie?

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

I have downloaded G8341_Customized NOBA_1310-7488_47.1.A.16.20_R24B from XperiFirm which is last version of Oero but never got time to flash.
As I don't use call recording, i'm good to upgrade to Pie.

i messed up. im stuck on fastboot (bootloader) mode. everytime i choose recovery mode or start, it vibrates and restarts 4 or 5 times only upto the S logo, before going back to fastboot mode again.
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" didnt work for me. it just starts my phone normally. so i tried "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" and got error.
need help pls.
edit: im still reading the whole thread and learning of flashing my bs from skr-a0 to skr-h0. i hope ill succeed from the files and procedures im getting at this link: youtube.com/watch?v=ywC_9Hrpb_I
edit2: was successful in flashing to skr-h0 using flash_all.bat (not brick anymore yay! it gave me the chills really.) sending "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" command also now loads me to twrp (thank heavens) but i need to system update OTA first before trying to root again. will update soon.
edit3: now enjoying root on android 8.1... found the hard way that twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img is not for android 9 and wont boot to twrp. probably flashed back to 8.1 for like 5 times more or less. hope maurino or someone else will make and release twrp-3.2.3-1-blackshark.img soon. thanks again for this wonderful thread.
btw: i originally wanted skr-a0 but i cant seem to download the link in the youtube video. file is corrupted. is it just me? i tried on 3 different workstations to no avail.

I haven't had any issues with the pie update. TWRP currently doesn't work, but the source files on GitHub have been updated I believe. TWRP needs to be available for rooting.

When will RJBEUXM get MIUI 13 OTA update?

I have a Mi 10 (codename umi) currently on MIUI 12 Global Stable v12.5.8.0(RJBEUXM). I've seen the MIUI 13 update available via Fastboot or Recovery modes for it but idk how to do it that way.

Thx much, I wasn't aware of that. I finally received the OTA update & am now on 13.0.4.0(SJBEUXM)
The MIUI 13.0.4.0 SJBMIX has been out for a couple of days now.
I'm using it with magisk and adaway and it's working fine, but missing out on thousands off adds makes me feel sad, because now I don't even know wether I don't want the products I didn't even know I didn't want. Does that even count as living at all?
