* Your warranty is now void.
* I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone by installing any custom ROMs and/or kernels.
* You do it at your own risk and take the responsibility upon yourself and you are not to blame us or XDA and its respected developers

Note :-

Samsung binery is impossible to downagrade.
This method will do install old stock as a custom rom (signature removed stock rom). So this method only can downgarde android version.
This method cannot downgrade modem or radio or bootlooder such as (aboot,lk,non-holes) like critical images. if you try that it will dead your device

Not Tested in All Devices. So I Don't know this method is working for all samsung devices. Proofs are at the end. You Have to try and tell

What you need

Latest binery of stock rom that you need to downgrade
Bootloader Unlocked Device
Lz4 Unpacker
Simg2img.exe
Android Image kitchen
Odin
7zip
Windows Computer

If you have super.img device shipped with Android 10 or Android 10+

You must have unlocked bootloader

If your device cannot use magisk this method will not work for you. (A20s user cannot do this)

1. Unlock your device bootloader

2. Download the Latest binery of stock rom that you need to downgrade (samfw)

3. Extract the whole Ap.....tar.md5

Get all boot.img.lz4 recovery.img.lz4 super.img .lz4(vendor.img.ext4.lz4 and system.img.ext4.lz4)

4. Convert .lz4 to img

Grag and drop lz4 file to lz4.exe

5. Then Patched the boot.img with magisk and unpack and repack recovery.img using android image kitchen (aik)

6. Then paste simg2img.exe to where converted super.img located.

7. Then open cmd from there and type simg2img super.img super.raw

then you will get a super.raw

8. Open HXD and grag and drop super.raw to hxd

9. Then CTRL+F and search all the U number of the firmware you downloded

According to me it is U4

9. Then Find a phases like this and fill all phases with zero bytes (there should be more than one)

10. Then Save it and remove the super.raw.bak

11. Then Rename the super.raw to super.img and make tar with 7zip including patched boot.img recovery.img and super.img

12. Flash it and Format data

Patched vbmeta is not essential due to magisk patched boot.img

If you Have System.img and Vendor.img Device Shipped with Android 7 8 9

1.Do all the steps untill number 6

2.Then convert system.img.ext4 and vendor.img.ext4 to raw by open cmd then, simg2img.exe system.ext4.img.raw and same to vendor

3.Open both System.ext4.img.raw form Hxd and Countinue with step 9

4.Then save Both vendor and system and delete the .bak files

5.Then rename system.img.ext4.raw to system.img.exe4 and vendor.img.ext4.raw to vendor.img.ext4

6.Then Convert to Lz4 by open cmd and lz4 -1 system.img.ext4

7.Then Make tar using Magisk patched boot.img and repacked recovery.img and system.img.ext4.lz4 and vendor.img.ext4.lz4

8. Flash and wipe Data

Patched vbmeta is not essential due to magisk patched boot.img
