Downgrade Security version

Guys, currently I'm on October 1st, 2018 Security Patch. I have the system image of April 1st, 2018 for flashing through fastboot, both android 8.0.0.
If I flash it, will my phone get stuck in bootloop or will it work?
My last phone got hardbricked because I unintentionally flashed android 6 Marshmallow after updating to Nougat, so now I'm afraid of hardbricking my new smartphone just because of the security patch.
Please someone give me an advise. (If there would be a link for a system image of october 2018 I'd appreciate haha)
My device was on Oct security before I unlocked it, I am now on the stock April patch firmware with no issues. However, I wish to relock my bootloader now and this is not possible because there is no later firmware than April available. When trying to lock, it fails with security downgrade.

Thanks for your feedback, however there IS a later firmware, more precisely the October firmware.

Should be fine, I am on OPSS27.76-12-25 which is April. The October patch was on my device before unlocked.
Although there is an extra S in this one. Mine is OPS27.
Could you show where the junior shared the link?.

Sorry, he didn't share on the forum yet, however it's in his afh. He took from the last link I shared here.
If you pay attention to the image below, which is my smartphone settings, the version has 2 "S", and it's the stock one. I've never unlocked this phone. So it's okay, the october patch has the second S.

I see, so the other S could be something with the new security patch. Unless we have different Z2p. Mine is UK one, but I am sure I read somewhere that there is only one line of firmware for this device, unlike my G5 plus before this that had several versions of the G5 plus.
Yours is Brazil retail mine is Vodafone UK which is a different software Chanel. But the device is same I am sure.

Android 10 Beta Firmware

Android 10 just released for India and other countries for S9 and S9+. Is there any way to find and flash those firmwares via Odin and use it as daily driver?
Been released in uk also.
Gotta wait for a mirror
I have the update ready to install. However this is my first dabble in beta. I would like to know if there is anything drastic in this beta as i don't have access to a pc/mac to switch back if everything goes wrong. I am mainly interested about the battery life and the main functions of the device more than features. If this is all ok i am willing to go ahead with the update. I will post regular with my findings onto the forum

Please capture the update file before updating and share it with us. You will have to enable developer mode and some settings. Someone here would probably be able to tell you more about this

Anyone knows if the update could be downloaded from this server? https:// fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/ firmware/BTU/ SM-G960F/ version.test.xml
I had to add some spaces after each / because it wouldn't let me post the link otherwise.

I tried everything but I cant figure out how download from this site. I even use combination firmware and Realterm to change CSC. I successfully changed CSC to BTU (England). I flashed BTU firmware. Run phone and turn on Samsung members App. Registration to BETA program pop-up on me. But when I click it and click enrol to start firmware download I get error that my SIM card is not from correct region. Even when sim card was not in phone. Only solution is to buy Sim card from England operator which I cant in my country. So I was unsuccessfull. Hope someone who has ability to download firmware will get download link a share it here with us. Thanks you very much and sorry for my bad English.
Could anyone do this who lives in the UK?

I think we will have to wait for the second beta, so that those who could not because they formatted, can do it there
extremely disappointing that update link is still not up even after more than 24 hours.
we just need one person from uk/india/south korea to quickly get it before updating.

Android 10 update

Hi everyone, any suggestions on how I can get the new Android 10 update? I have the Note 10+ Sprint version but I'm guessing its flashed with the T-Mobile Rom as that is what I see on the slpash screen when I power up the phone. What are my options? Thanks in advance..
I think you have two options, either you wait for the oficial update is released for your device, or you download and install one from sammobile/frija via Odin.
Roll out will take a couple of weeks or so.

Yup, sammobile has not the firmware yet. Try with frija, it's supposed to connect directly with samsung servers.
Why don't you give it a try, hope you succeed.

Well, I just searched out of curiosity and turns out Frija does have the android 10 version for unlocked (N975U1/XAA), when I check via software update app on the phone, it tells me I'm on the latest software.
EDIT: I messed up the model, the attachment is showing the info for S10+ instead of Note10+, please just ignore it.
I'm curious, please let me know if you decide to update and if so, how it turns out for you.
Have a nice day!

Phone Settings/Software Update.
Click on update when its finished it will give you your version numbers and usually information about the latest update installed. (Unless you have updated via odin then it doesn't seem to show that information.)
I think the latest update are just a fix with some carrier issues. Mine got it, and before I was dropping out of calls. Its the second july update wit july security. Tje first one in july was the one with the camera improvement.

Question will we ever see an 11.2.8.8 Zip?

I've been scouring XDA, google, oneplus forums, and oxygen updater.
I'm not seeing an update anywhere. Oxygen Updater says i'm up to date (i'm not)
what the heck?
I grabbed EU one from Oxygen Updater, Indian one is on there too, looks like it's just NA missing
Thats why i switched from tmobile rom to EU.
I'm on an LE2125... factory unlocked. What the heck.
OnePlus / Google will release the full zip if and when they feel like it for AA, and there is a very high chance you won't get it. If you want a full zip always available go with BA or DA.

Been like this since the 8T at least, when OnePlus use Google Update servers instead for incremental.

Well, if you want up-to-date full zips, go with BA. Otherwise, make the preparations needed for incremental OTA.
DA has been working phenomenally for me. I'm in the US.
I have been using the EU firmware.
It works flawless on Verizon.

I was running into the same issue. I resolved it by downloading the AA incremental posted on the guide thread and moving it into the root and manually updating. Otherwise I was getting errors. How bizarre.
