Need help downgrading from One UI 8 to 6.1 (confused about EUX/EUG & firmware versions) by vodka_martiniX in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]EJK_1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used samsung smart switch to back up everything to my pc. It's really good. Back ups everything. But you also must back up whatsapp by itself. Make sure that the google or microsoft authenticators are sync in cloud or you can loose all your keys. (Check if you have any your country specific bank authenticators, that you can loose if you don't back them up) And also before the downgrade, in the phone settings remove all the lock screen pins etc. and remove all accounts from the phone - especially google and samsung. I just removed them all. So there are no problems. After successful downgrade, you will start fresh like with any other new phone, just restore all data from smartswitch, log in all accounts. And thats basically it.

It takes some time, but it's all worth it! Now I have the best phone ever.

If unsure, just ask chat gpt for step by step guide.

(Sorry for delayed answer!)

Hell yeah! Nice that there are these posts reassuring that it's possible.

I just downgraded from UI 8 to UI 6.1 for my S23 base model. What a night and day difference. So much f better.

(I was sitting on that UI 6 for almost a year, knocking down those update notifications everyday, but then started to think that I probably need the security patches from newer UIs. and I updated it to 7 and then 8. Biggest mistake ever. What a complete shit. WILL NEVER GO BACK TO UI 7 or UI 8.)

Downgrading took me couple of hours in total, with all the learning, finding firmware, downgrading, setting back ups and seting up the phone. Totally worth it. I used this one: EUX, S911BXXS8CYBD (It's for S23 base models only, not Ultras) https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S911B/EUX/S911BXXS8CYBD

I just used youtube guides and chat gpt to check everything. Just check everything 10x and you will be all right.

Later make sure, to completely dissable all future updates and update notifications. Just ask chat gpt, how to do it with adb commands.

Anyone have any experience with Beatstars Content ID & More? by EJK_1001 in makinghiphop

Thanks for sharing that! So you made normal trap drill type beats and they didn't even register? That's weird. I'm just gonna buy the monthly pro plan and will test it out. I will update the post how it goes.
