[TA-1012] Downgrade from Oreo/Pie to Nougat - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
I have a Nokia 8 for months, and I tried to downgrade my phone but I'm still stuck atm.
TA-1012
00WW_4_88B_SP07
Oreo 8.1 - December Security Patch
From what I understood, there isn't prepatched boot image for security patches above November, so I can't flash other firmwares...
Is there a way that I can rollback to NOUGAT by updating first to Pie ? And with april patch ?
I'm wondering if I could have Nougat one day
Thank you

I'll answer my own post since I managed to do it :
So I used NOST to flash NB1-303A-0-00WW-B01.nb0 (the first Nougat firmware for TA-1012) and it worked like a charm.
Sorry for the useless topic.

Yeah but I juste realized what was the issue.
The past months, I've been using NOST 0.5, and it didn't worked at all (many errors...). But I just saw that the developer updated to NOST 0.6, hence why it's working

i should be unlocked bootloader ?

To use NOST you need critical unlocked bootloader. you can refer to NOST thread to know how to critical unlock.

Battery, RAM and CPU consumption.
On ALL of my devices, I compared the oldest ROM with the next one and I always get better results on an old ROM. I mean, new firmwares are for new phones and can't be adapted perfectly to old devices in order to keep the same consumption.
It's like updating apps, in most of the case, your phone will lag more and more when you update your apps.

Can you give us the link ? NB1-303A-0-00WW-B01.nb0

Can I update to G920AUCU3CPD6 from G920AUCU3BOJ7?

I finally updated my S6 G920AUCU3BOJ7 and I have been looking for G920AUCU3BOJ9, but haven't been able to find the file. I have noticed the Android versions are the same, that's 5.1.1, so my question is, can I update directly to G920AUCU3CPD6?
I did the above with the July 9, 2015(G920AUCU2AOF3) update when I updated to September 25, 2015 G920AUCU3BO12, but since CPD6 is Marshmallow I am a little hesitant.
Any advice from the experts?
Update: I took the plunge and successfully updated my phone to Marshmallow from G920AUCU3BOJ7. I will post the thread where I got the firmware from later because I can't do it on my phone.

Someone posted a way to update to BOJ9 if you have BOJ7 but it involves using ADB, which makes me very hesitant to do because if done wrong it can result in a bricked device. Also all the links tell me I don't have access.

I personally will not update to Nougat yet. I know for 100% that what we got is not going to be official release. This mean you need to downgrade to MM to get official Nougat. But if you think it is wort it to downgrade and all hassle to setup phone back go and do it. And no you can go directly to Nougat , need to be gradyaly

[Q] How to upgrade 19s to 21s?

Phone came with 19s, no OTA update, how do you get the latest version?

depending on which x52? you have there is no need, or it is not better to update!
https://devs-lab.com/download-letv-official-stock-rom.html
if you want to use custom roms stable some day (and you would be crazy if not), you shouldn't upgrade higher than 19s concerning bootloader and modem quality

There is No latest update. The leeco devs stopped at 19s. Yet they gave 21s update to people joining their beta program. Check forum.le.com for more details coz i dont no more about it.

Don't update 19S is much better 21S has overheating issue and bad battery life

MOTO X4 reads "0" IMEI

Hello XDA Fam, I've come to you for help.
Before it is asked, I did search around forums/threads but I really do have a hard time navigating around this site. And from what I seen there was no answers that I needed. Currently my Moto X4 XT1900-7 which I believe is on a factory image, no longer connects to my carrier. It is able to tell me the actual carrier but that's about it. The reason why I ask is because I'm on a completely stock image that's been updated via OTA.
I believe I lost my IMEI, carrier connection ( call it what you will) and orientation ( when you rotate your phone) after flashing this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3876195.
Since then I've been lost. Please if anyone has a recent up to date fix for this I'd be very keen to hear from you.
I've heard of injecting the IMEI, and tried but some guide I followed on XDA was unclear. And I'm not even sure if it would fix anything .. So again if you have a clear up to date guide on this, I'd be very appreciative.
Thankyou for your time to read through. Any info you may need I can try and provide. I hope that I haven't upset anyone with posting this in the wrong section. Or the fact that it's been asked before. If so you could attach a link for me to follow
Thankyou XDA fam
Any Info you may need I can try and provide

Alright... flash full stock Oreo and after that full Pie image to get your imei and sensors back, your device has still 7.1.1 modem and it's way too old for pixel experience. I don't know if you can flash directly Pie since we started from 7.1.1, got 8.0.0/8.1.0 and then 9.0.0 but to be safe flash first 8.x and then 9.0

It will be at least a few days before I can try this. But you may have saved me from having to buy a new phone. I'll keep you posted ?.
@cango123

I just want to check something with you. My current android version is 8.0.0. do I still need flash the stock oreo image or can I go straight to pie?

Need help to downgrade my note 8 to a previous update (N950USQU7DTA3)

So, couple months ago AT&T released an update (in January 2020) which I saw a significantly improved battery life by 25% I was planing to disable my updates for future updates because I really liked it! However, 2 weeks later one day i wake up and my phone forced a new update and the battery life got back to the same even worse that what it used to be before that first update! Now, I am looking to downgrade my update to (N950USQU7DTA3) to be specific. I cant seem to find the file. Is there a source to find it? Also, Its been years since I've done this. Is there a way you guys recommend doing it without causing any issues?
Thanks!
At&t does not post firmware. Just flash any US firmware it's all the same. It will provision to your At&t sim

@kamycrs
Please don't post questions in the development section. I have asked a moderator to move it to the correct Q&A section, please bare this in mind for any future posts.
Do you know how I can find and flash that specific one? N950USQU7DTA3? or to find which would be the most identical?
The search function is an amazing thing...But I will do it for ya...Sammobile or Frija[emoji16][emoji106]

Well when Elliwigy and Jrkruse give information you can bet its spot on. And MrMike has been around for quite awhile. Just try to take the advice given and understand none of these guys will lead you down the wrong path. Good luck and hopefully you will find something that works out for you[emoji106]
