DOWNLOAD ODIN 3.13.1 from this link :   https://odindownloader.com/category/download       Then Download your phones Firmware from this link :   https://updato.com/    You'll also need to DL the Samsung Driver for your phone model and install it on your computer   FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE TEE FROM THE site. And it should work for you as it did for me, I also watched a YouTube video where a guy flashed his s6 from Samsung Pie back to it's original form and followed his process with my S9. It really helped now I love my phone again because I couldn't stand that PIE forceful garbage update. It looked just like a wanna be google phone iPhone. I couldn't deal with it or I would've broke and changed phones and companies. Hope this information helps!   1. Open Odin 2. Put the firmware downloaded files in Odin (They're all labeled so it easy) 3. Turn off phone 4. Put your phone in download mode (Power key + volume down +Bixby button 5. Connect phone to computer and it will pop up in Odin  6. Should have uploaded 4 files from your firmware download into Odin  7. MAKE SURE REPARTITION IS NOT CHECKED  8. Press start 9. Itll reflash your phone to the Version you chose and uploaded into Odin With mine it got stuck on the Samsung screen for a while but I just pressed power + volume up + Bixby and it put me in developer mode, I did hard reset on my phone and it worked. So I'm back like I never left because all my info was backed up on my SD card.   All over the internet it tells you YOU CAN DESTROY YOUR PHONE SO BE CAREFUL. I hope this works for you guys the way it did for me. Samsung left me no choice their update was TOO BAD TO LIVE WITH. I REALLY WANTED TO THROW MY PHONE OUT UNTIL I GOT IT BACK TO ANDROID 8   ...

I also hated this new Update it forced me to spend 2 days learning how to reflash it back to Android 8 which came with my phone!!   For me it worked after hours of working on it. And still I live in a worried state the phone will auto update and revert to the Anroid 9 pie BS!   The NEW ANDROID PIE UPDATE IS EXTREMELY TERRIBLE!! PLEASE EITHER RELEASE AN ANDROID 8 REBOOT OR atleast allow users to keep/ revert their OS to the version of their choosing. It will make for extremely content customers SAMSUNG!!!!!! ... View more
