Outside of rooting to flash custom Roms is there an official way to downgrade. Nougat is junk. Both of my phone's will not hold a charge more than a couple hours and have issues waking up from sleep, and a myriad of other issues I have with the update.
If not I'll have to smash these and hope for a non updated model upon replacement.

Yeah I saw that, I've yet to get Odin to recognize my phone. I guess I'm going to have to try another PC.
Do any of those have the update function killed?

I think problem is with some app you have. Check this first then try to downgrade. Or try clean install by downgrading to APK1 and OTA to BQA6.
If you have problem with phone not recognised by PC, maybe you have problem with hardware it self. Go and exchange. Nougat for me holds battery about 25% longer.

Yeah resetting the phones was my first step. They do it without any other app installed.
I'm just going to have to mess with Odin until my driver's accept the phone. It's been ages since I've had to mess with it, and it js just frustrating

What? I haven't messed with it since Saturday. I'll update when I get a chance. Today was the first nice day since a storm wed that downed a bunch of junk in my yard, and damaged the roof to my barn.
I likely could have bad drivers or the wrong version of Odin. I've not used Odin since the days of the Samsung moment.

Well my problem as escalated on one phone. Now any time I plug it in to charge it tells me moisture detected. Never been wet, never been damp.
Yeah I think I'm just going to move on to different phones. I'm not a fan of the bugs I've encountered on both, and they don't inspire confidence in longer term ownership. Thanks for the help folks.
And now the second phone has the same issue.
There is no way this is hardware related. Is anyone else having issues with theirs. I find it extremely hard to believe two phones having identical issues after an update is coincidence.
Standard OTA update to BQA6 with no problems.

Anytime I had an Odin issue it was because of USB drivers. I uninstalled all USB drivers from that device the (complex way) and then everything worked properly. It would seem if I switched USB ports it would work again, then not long after that I would run out of USB ports. I would have to uninstall the drivers manually and reinstall them.

Hello all. I am hoping I can get some advice as to what to do about my wife's phone(epic 4g). Her phone is completely stock and has never had any custom rom or anything flashed to it. Over the last three months, the phone has semi-bricked itself 3 times. The phone will just power off by itself and when it is rebooted, it gets stuck at the "samsung" screen. The only way I can get the phone back to normal is by flashing DI18 with Odin v1.85 (no other versions work). Anyway, my wife obviously does not want an unreliable phone. I should also note that about 8 months ago, my 2 year old son took my wife's phone and threw it in the toilet. After taking the phone apart and drying it, the phone worked perfectly for the following 5 months. For that reason, I do not think it is a good idea to have sprint look at it because the water damge indicators will be colored. I have seen a thread here that talked about calling sprint and complaining about the epic and in turn getting a new nexus s. I am not sure what to do. I cannot afford another phone. my wife uses her phone as the house phone as well. The phone bricked itself yesterday so I flashed the stock DI18 rom. I then tried to flash EC05 and it bricks itself again. Even the OTA update bricks the phone when ran. I really appreciate any help/suggestions the community can provide.
Thank you

Interesting problem you have there. I barely remember Di18.
I would use Odin to flash the EC05 stock rom. QBKing77 has an awesome video showing exactly how to do that. That would not brick your phone unless you are using the stock cable. Get a new one. First boot will take a little bit. Here is the link, the description includes all necessary downloads. I would fresh download everything even if you think you already have it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU
There is no reason it will Odin to DI18 and not EC05. Water damage doesn't force the phone to like one rom over another. If the others are "not working" as you said, then you are doing something wrong. Follow the video to a T and it will work.
If you want more I would the one click root it with CMW 3101 and remove all of the sprint bloat. Not necessary, but will help the phone a bit.
If the water indicator has already changed, what is stopping you from using a custom rom that is more stable? You might not have as many issues.
Thank you both for your replies. I am using the stock cable, so I will try a different cable. It may be possible that I am doing something wrong as far as flashing roms. It has been a while since I have flashed anything to my phone. Again, thank you very much for the help!

I am just so confused as to why the phone semi-bricks itself every so often. My wife doesn't do anything out of the norm with her phone. I guess the only likely possibility is that the water slightly damaged something.

Like I said, water damage will not cause your phone to only be flashed to DI18. Now the random reboots may have something to do with the water damage, without more info as to what is happening when it reboots I have no idea. Maybe a custom stable ROM with voltage control set correctly would help with that?
I was updating some apps from the playstore and decided to check my voice mail by holding the 1 key in the dialer, but then my phone rebooted. Now, it won't boot past the TMO screen no matter what I do. I've tried wiping cache in recovery, and everything but a factory reset because I have a pin/fingerprint set up. I've heard that it will lock you out of your phone for 3 days if you factory reset from MM for security reasons, hence why I haven't done it. I can't find the firmware to sideload for the T-Mobile variant, can someone shed some light on this issue? It's rather annoying to have it softbrick for no reason, and not have the firmware to fix it. If someone has the firmware that would be great, or if they know how to fix it.
you can bypass FRP(the lock after reset). ive done this with about 5 s6 edges. I just bypassed one last night. i would assume it prolly works with the s7 edge also.

Not sure what happened today but everything been fine since I got my phone. Today after using bbc iplayer then going back to it from multi tasking menu everything froze up . .phone wen black and went off . .was scary to say least . .i held power and volume down for 7 seconds and it came back on. . . .nothing happen since . . .anyone know what that could have been?

So you tried the power on and volume key method but it stuck on starting up? Looks like I got off lightly . . Wonder if it's a software thing like the camera problem people are experiencing
This happened to a lot of s6edge+ users in the beginning.
Still no idea what was causing it. Updates seen to have cleared it, however, every s6edge+ reboots/freezes at launch one in a while.

Well, consider yourself lucky. I had (in fact have) a Moto 360 which was bricked by Motorola at the last update and now it's sitting on my desk as a paperweight for more than a month.

That sucks is it the gen 1 or 2? Moto support went downhill after I bought my Nexus 6 from back in 2014. I haven't bought a Moto product since then for that reason. Can you boot into this bootloader at all? I've flashed my Huawei watch before without an issue.

It is Gen1. It is fixable via ADB, with a proper connection rig but my improvised rig resulted in a fried USB port on one of my computers after a successful connection, so I just gave up. I may one day buy a Chinese connection rig (there are some nice ones for sale) but the investment is just not worth it, I will probably get a Gear S2 and be done with Motorola, forever.

I know this is a little off topic:
Motorola didn't make it easy due to their lack of pogo pins (even though most people don't like them). I'm not sure how it would fry a USB port, but anything can happen. I plugged my 6P into my Surface Pro 4's dock via an A-C cable and it windows said it was trying to pull to much current and shut off the port until I rebooted. Things happen for better or worse, but I prefer AW over Tizen due to the long term support, despite liking Samsung's rotating bezel.

can you send a link where you found that tmobile firmware? I'm having the same issue of not being able to go past the white t-mobile screen
Three mornings ago I woke up to find wifi couldn't start on my phone. Nothing I tried fixed it. It's a hardware issue. Verizon refused to fix it because I admitted it was rooted. The local repair shop is afraid of breaking the digitizer if they take it apart and besides, who knows what's wrong?
This is my last straw with Verizon. I have signed up with T-Mobile. My replacement Note 4 will be here today or tomorrow. I really loved this community. Yall are a great bunch of guys and I will miss you. But I refuse to take any more of Verizon's crap. I'll drop in to say Hi from time to time but for now I have to learn about the T-Mobile development community. Later.
Noooo. This is bitter sweet because you will enjoy yourself with all the Tmobile development. Frankly any Note 4 variant besides Verizon and AT&T you'll be happy. Good luck man and thanks for all your help.

Ok. I reset it back to the condition it was when I got it. I odin'd the ANI1 modem and the ANJ5 stock restore. I don't know what else to do.
I don't have the new phone yet. Probably tomorrow evening or Monday. If I can fix it and don't decide to cancel TMo I could sell it. It shows a little wear around the USB port but other than that it's totally scratch free. It was always in an Otterbox case.
But I'd love to keep using it.

Isn't that going to overwrite the Dev Ed bootloader? I guess that's ok though because it's useless as a Developer Edition anyway right? And then I can do the unlock procedure.
It failed. It wants me to do the Verizon Software Repair Assistant. It probably failed because of the hardware issue right?
Update: On the second try it flashed and finished booting up. There were only 22 apps to optimize. Wifi still doesn't work. It did lose developer mode.

We'll get DE back after you are stable. Uninstall Verizon Software Repair Assistant and Kies if you have it. To me, it looks like a USB/Driver/Software conflict going on preventing a successful flash. Try a different computer, and a different USB cable. Something is interrupting the write process.
I don't have access to another computer. Sometimes this computer does act up. That's M$ and their upgrade to W10 for you. Maybe after a fresh reboot?
I don't have the other stuff.
Update: Maybe I can borrow a computer. I don't know when though. I'll look into it.

I flashed a ton of stuff through Odin and TWRP both. Everything seemed to flash correctly with the same result every time. Wifi wouldn't work. I can't help but think it's hardware. I think it baked this jumper wire that's right between the battery and the Wifi til it broke. Too many times heating it up by optimizing apps.

It worked for a day until now where it went back into download mode and I tried to boot it normally and it goes straight to download each time.

I don't remember XDA requiring users to have a rooted device. There are plenty of XDA forums and threads that have nothing to do with root. You don't have to be rude to a user asking for help with their device. I'm not a Moderator or a Recognized Developer/Contributor but, damn man, do you have to **** on someone's post when they're asking for help? Can you help the OP? Do you have any experience with his concern? I know alot about Android to where I can try and help people but I don't know everything and I don't post **** like that and try to drive someone away.

Thank you for all of the interest in helping me out. However, I recently opened up the phone to find out that a good chunk of the internals are burned from something frying. Amazing I didn't notice heat or electrical smoke when it happened. I'm guessing when Odin3 failed it was due to the frying cutting off a path. Unfortunately, I just need to get it replaced.
