Downgrade A72 from android 14 to 13 to install eos

[aibd]

Here are some more sources of firmware

@aibd

Some sources of a Stock ROM are

• https://www.sammobile.com/
• https://samfrew.com/
• https://samfw.com/ – search by IMEI https://samfw.com/imei
• https://sfirmware.com/

The search by IMIE may be useful. Different distributors may have different attitudes to speed of download or asking you to pay, maybe less so for your newer phone.

downgrade the phone to android 13 however, I am not sure.

U5 as part of the build number which apparently corresponds to bootloader version 5 whereas my device has U6

The best way to get help with the downgrade options would be to Search Settings on the phone for Baseband version and quote it here as well as the complete Build number.

You can also use the Baseband version in a web search, and see where it links for advice. If you get what looks like a promising Android 13 to download, please quote its Baseband version, there are those on the forum who will be able to help with its suitability.

You unlocked the bootloader so that is a good sign, perhaps also confirm you have a supported model, from the info page Info about Samsung Galaxy A72 - a72q

Models Supported

    SM-A725F
    SM-A725M
    SM-A725F/DS
    SM-A725M/DS
Other models are not supported

2. if not is it possible to install e/os from android 14 (and if so how)

The only way is to downgrade manufacturer firmware to Android 13, there might be a “combination firmware” but let us check your numbers above first.

Re 3. In the event you cannot downgrade I see available lineageos4microg a72q at Android 14 (U). We are hoping the first tranche of Android 14(U) ROMs for certain devices maybe within a couple of months but no ETA yet, keep watching Development Updates published every Monday for updates.

@Manoj perhaps you could reinstate the OP, I saw nothing there from @incognito1 that would justify flagging.
