Hi! Same problem here. i found an answer for this question on another forum but it'n not good.
"The A520F is on android 7 and so you are asking for a downgrade to 6.0.1.
This may not be possible if the secure bootloader has been updated."
I tried many older roms. i can downgrade in 7.0 versions but 7.0 to 6.0 not working.
And why do you want to downgrade? I seen many posts about this problem.
My reason is i think my camera is more slower after updates. i went to a shop and compared my updated phone with a j5 2017 and the j5 2017 was much faster and smoother. my camera refresh rate seems lower and the focusing is very slow.
I don't understand the manufacturers why touch something whats working well. This is one year old mobile with many patches. after every update, things look worse.
Maybe we will get oreo updates with better compatibility. or somebody will make a better custom rom.

I'd say download Nougat, everything works great! More features, maybe longer battery life and for me the phone works a little faster. Didn't find any cons yet enjoyed the design.
Nougat is a solid update, nothing against it and it may even be better in some aspects. Go for it.
you always want latest firmware version - for security updates if nothing else. Especially since recently there have been quite few big bugs found that are rather dangerous if not patched.
You dont need to update to nougat except for few new feature. If your mm is updated well ( mean security patched) you can wait for oreo version..
Nougat breaks some Xposed modules, including Xprivacy.
Hey, so I have the Canadian A5 2017 and have not received the Oreo update yet, once Its available for my phone i was planning on switching over to a custom Rom running Oreo 8.1 (can't yet since there's no oreo modem/boot loader available for my phone as far as I know). Just curious if it would be easier to root my phone now while it's on nougat and then install a custom Oreo Rom myself once the modem/bootloader are available?, or should I wait until I receive the Oreo OTA update and then root it after? Believe I read that there s a new boot loader lock of some sort that was introduced in the new new oreo that makes it a bit of a pain to unlock the boot loader. Also my phone is completely stock
Thanks for your help
Rooting on oreo is just a bit more difficult than nougat because of the rmm state, but there're a lot of way to bypass it easily. If you're on N just root without OTA updating oreo, but I don't know how many custom roms running stable oreo 8.1 exist. I had LineageOS 15.1 unofficial for A5 2017, great features but too buggy. Just look for something more stable
Obviously to flash a custom rom you need a custom recovery, but I think you knew it yet
According to Sammmobile.com , Samsung has finally released the Galaxy A8 (2018) Oreo update, bringing an end to months of waiting for owners of the company’s latest premium mid-range phones. The Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) are currently being updated to Android 8.0 Oreo in Russia. The rollout seems to have started over the weekend, and since it’s already mentioned on Samsung’s official website that details software updates, it should be available for most (if not all) users in Russia at this point.
Samsung’s official changelog suggests it’s an update similar to the one received by devices released before the Galaxy S9. Oddly, Dolby Atmos support isn’t mentioned, despite the devices’ user manual saying it’s included. That could possibly be because the A8 and A8+ only get Dolby Atmos for use over wired and Bluetooth audio, similar to devices like the Galaxy J6 and the Galaxy A6. The update also brings support for VoLTE on both SIM slots, which was recently made available for the Galaxy S9 as well. It’s unclear what security patch is included, but since the May security patch has already been out for these devices, it’s possible Oreo bundles the June patch. The July 2018 security patch is included in the update. The build numbers are A530FXXU2BRG1 and A730FXXU2BRG1.
Our What’s New With Android 8.0 Oreo series of articles is the best way to get details on some of the major new features and changes that Oreo brings to Samsung devices (and this official Samsung infographic is also something you should take a look at). To see if Oreo is available for your Galaxy A8 (2018) or A8+ (2018), open the Settings app on your device, tap Software update, then tap Download updates manually. The update is likely to take a few days to start rolling out in other markets; it could also be a few weeks, depending on how quickly Samsung expands the rollout.
The Russian Firmware is avaliable on Sammobile.com on the link below :
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a8-plus/SM-A730F/SER/download/A730FXXU2BRG1/224366/
My question is ... will this firmware work on non Russian devices ?
It will.
Any One Try this Rom??

Hi,
I'm looking for a device close to Galaxy A5 size and performances which I can install Microg-LineageOS.
Samsung is not good since firmware upgrades of 2018, can't go back to nougat with my Galaxy A5 SM-A520F, so stuck without MicroG and LineageOS 16.0 beta.
Any recommended device wich is not PITA to install LineageOS-MicroG please?
Or any workaround to downgrade my SM-A520F to Nougat ? (backups, tricks, anything apart Odin that is not working because of the new firmwares)
Thanks
Can I buy a Nexus 5 with any stock ROM ? Seems the good specs
Hello. I bought this phone since my Galaxy Note 4 SIM slot is destroyed. Is a pretty decent phone and it run good for all the things I use on it. But the only thing I am wondering is, If this phone will have Oreo Update? On some pages like GSMArena is mentioned that is planned an Android 8.0 update, but date is not given. So I wanna know if some others variants besides J250M (the one I have) has the update available.
And my other question is, is there a way to enable themes with/without root? Thanks to everyone who came and give me an answer though.
Same problem
Please help us get themes on this phone.. been trying to get since last year

The only reported information was in the Samsung Members of India, that Android Oreo would be rolled in January 2019 for SM-J250F.
In Samsung Members of Brazil, nothing was said of SM-J250M.
And also nothing is known about SM-J250G and SM-J250N.
It's quite possible that it stays on Android Nougat.

Without root, you can install Samsung Themes, but you can not install Theme Manager.
That is, it will not work.
With root, no tutorial has yet appeared.
Tutorials for the Galaxy J2 2015 and Galaxy J2 2016 (which supported themes but not the theme store) are not valid for it.
