Just look in the twrp thread.
Behind the download link, choose your model and click on Android 8 and then on stock.

Where to get older FTF files?

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the older ftf files. I'm currently on android P, but the xperifix didn't carry over so I want to downgrade back to use the camera.
Thanks!

Hi again, so I flashed the version you gave me, but I am still on version 9.0 pie.
My procedure was exactly the same as xperifirm. Creating the ftf file then flashing it via xperiflash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I use the newflasher.
And a downgrade without wipe of the userdata is impossible.

Hi, I have successfully downgraded to android 8. I reinstalled TWRP and DRMfixed. However, I still get the black screen in the camera. Everything seemed to have installed correctly. I guess I'm going to have to live with no preview screen?

When can we see working Root/TWRP?

I tried using the root img in the custom Roms section, and there is no evidence that it works. If anyone can confirm that it works for I3XX devices. (Specifically I3123)
I am currently trying to build a TWRP for this device, i'll upload it when i have done it and tested it.

If you are rooting just stock and not flashing a rom, make sure to flash that no verity zip (is in the link I sent you) or you will face "only official binaries are allowed" then you will have to flash stock and restart.

You need to flash stock filmware to get rid of this message.
Then you should follow this excellent guide here to help it stop happening again - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
If you are wanting to flash a rom, just flash it once you have installed TWRP, as roms have already taken care of the above.
