Not really happy with Nougat update on your Galaxy S6? Do you feel like going back to Marshmallow which you were already familiar with? Or maybe there are too many bugs for your taste and you just want to go back to sanity. Or maybe the Nougat firmware isn’t stable enough and is interfering with your work.

Whatever your reasons are, we’ve got your back. Downgrading your Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge Nougat update back to Marshmallow is pretty much the same as flashing firmware through Odin. Once you’ve downgraded you can also install the Nougat update any time you want.

  3. Enable OEM unlock on your phone:
    1. Go to Settings » About phone » and tap Build number seven times to enable Developer options.
    2. Go back to main Settings page, scroll to bottom and select Developer options from there.
    3. Under Developer options, look for Enable OEM unlock checkbox/toggle and enable it.
  4. Boot your device into Download mode:
    1. Switch off your device.
    2. Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.
    3. Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.
  5. Once your device is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin window on PC should detect the device and show an “Added!!” message.
