Kindly guide me someone i want to downgrade to marshmallow on SM G935A .. i have tried the apk1 rom but failed to flash please help...
You'll get used to Oreo, it's pretty good so far.
Assuming it's still on bootloader 4, you can downgrade to any firmware build using BL4. I don't recall off the top of my head if there was ever a MM build that used BL4, but that's the restriction. Anything else will either not flash or brick your device. You will need a modded version of ODIN to do the downgrade.
why do you want to downgrade?

Hi There,
I rooted my phone about a year ago. But somehow now it shows as not being rooted but with a custom rom. Tried using towelroot and that doesn't work. I'd like to upgrade to 5.0 but am stuck at 4.4.4
At this point I'm not sure what is easier to re-root or downgrade unroot and use samsung update?
cant disable knox it keeps popping up.

well im not sure which way would be easier i would think downgrading and re rooting but if you choose not to you can always just reroot it even on lollipop there is a new way to root no matter what version you are on also check and make sure you have busybox and supersu installed it may have gotten deleted somehow and that could be why your phone is saying you dont have root
There's not much point in re-rooting if you plan to download an update to lollipop, because the update will immediately un-root you.
Just use Odin to flash a factory image, then follow the rooting instructions for whichever version you decide on.

Hey guys. I want to know how I can downgrade from 6.0 mm to 5.1.1 lollipop official of course. I have n910c note 4.. I know it is not easy. . But If someone knows the steps please tell me. Can I do this from odin with the same way as 6.0 flashing? I mean which way I must follow? Please replyy
Same as upgrading just use Odin to downgrade.
Don't you have to unlock the bootloader in order to downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop?
yeah i think the same Dark.. when i try to downgrade with s6 from 6.0 to lollipop then some error appears.. it is not easy.. Someone who knows the steps please tell me.
Hi guys
searched the forums but cannot find the answer.
I have a 935f and its running the latest bootloader and modem from november. i just got this phone and have rooted and installed TWRP, when i am looking at custom roms like superman and renovate, it tells me to "update" my bootloader and modem to octobers version for superman or septembers version for renovate.
obviously i a running a later version than both of these, am i ok to flash the rom without doing anything or do i need to downgrade my bootloader then flash?
if i downgrade will i have to root and install TERP again plase?
thanks in advance for the help
Looking to buy this phone soon but I was just wondering about a few things. Im buying the canadian variant G935W8.
1. Can this device be rooted on nougat as well or only marshmallow? Im buying it brand new so I think it will probably be running the latest firmware.
2. Is there any issues with unlocking the bootloader? Is it neccesary to do so if you want root and custom roms?
the bootloader is not locked on the w8 as its the exynos variant and yes nougat can be rooted its the same as 935f

Thanks. Also another question I had. If the phone comes with marshmallow and I root it will I be able to install nougat roms directly or will I have to update the bootloader and modem? In that case would it be better to update it to nougat first and then root?
Updating your phone would cause you to lose root anyways as the file structure on nougat is completely different then marshmellow.
Rooting also prevents OTA updates, so you would end up having to install nougat manually.
I suggest you upgrade your software then root it. You can use systemless root from magisk. Using TWRP just flash the latest magisk file and you are rooted. The file will automatically root your phone as part of the installation process.

If you get it with MM (highly unlikely) just don't do anything and you should get an OTA notification otherwise you can download Odin, google it as I don't have a link and nougat from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767144483 and you can flash it yourself now rooting is a little different then it used to be do a search on the s7 edge for the info on that
the reason is yes you will need to download the BL not sure about modem but you might as well do it too
I just rooted my G935W8 running 7.0 by following the instructions in the first half of this video.
I'm new to the S7 edge and was wondering if I could flash back to G935VVRU4API3 (6.0.1) from G935VVRU4BQF2 (7.0)?
Yeap you should have no problem doing so just throw that phone into download mode and flash
Awesome. I read that you can't flash backward from the latest 6.0.1 stock ROM to earlier because of bootloader changes. Last thing I want to do is brick my new phone.
your fine just make sure to use the PH1 update and youre good
