Guys I have a sm-s918w and while trying to get oneui beta 6 I downloaded sm-s918u version... now Odin is not letting me go back to 918w version , smartswitch is giving me error saying that this device doesn't support firmware installation, idk what to do please help

What version of Odin are you using? 

Of course Smart Switch isn't going to switch your device to the Canadian Firmware.. What were you thinking? 

Use Patched Odin to Flash the CORRECT Canadian Firmware. 

Flash each of the tar files one at a time, ie: Don't select all of them for a single Flash. 

At one point, you will HAVE to Factory Reset to get back to the Canadian Firmware. 

Download the Canadian Firmware using Frija. 

Are you having fun yet lol

I'll try doing that and no I'm not having fun I'm super new to that kind of things and pretty much anxious about this situation 😅 I'll try to do as u said , thx u so much

Where did you get the version of Odin you used? 

This should be the latest version of Patched Odin.

These are the ONLY things that you should have checked in Odin. 

These are the ONLY tar files that you Flash, and like I said, one at a time.

ie: Put the Bootloader tar in the "BL" slot - Click start & wait for the Green "PASS" before proceeding to the next one.

All this for for bêta One UI ??? 🙄 🤔 You canno't wait few months ? A new version will not change your life. Not mine . .

I've Flashed the Betas several times, but I know what I'm doing. 

Lucky for this guy, it's virtually impossible to actually break a Samsung device. 

There's a protected partition, which will always* allow you to Boot into Download Mode. 

BUT you have to be using the correct software to Flash your device, including: Odin (there's 2 different versions), USB Drivers & Firmware.

Lol flashing is pointless.. just wait
