I wanted to test the beta for a day or two and then downgrade. However, after withdrawing from the beta, Smart Switch is not showing the option to downgrade. 

I have tried the following:

1. Wipe cache partition. 
2. Looked for a way to unregister in the Samsung members app; no option exists to do so.
3. Tried three different cables on two different computers.
4. Reset phone to factory default. 
5. Reinstalled the driver on the smart switch app for windows.

I searched the internet and the only posts I find are canned responses that tell you to follow the instructions in the oneui beta app. Nothing is working for me. I am tempted to use Odin to force a flash back to Android Pie but I am afraid of voiding my warrenty.

I have the SMG95U1 model (S10 plus)

flashing stock file via Odin doesn't void your warranty.

Using Odin to go back to pie will not void your warranty. Your warranty is voided only when you root your device and knox is tripped. Knox will not be tripped by flashing signed firmware. Make sure you get the latest version of 9.0 for your specific phone. Since you have a U1 model, (us unlocked) make sure you grab the file that starts in G965U1XXXXXXX. If you've never used Odin, stay away from using Odin as it can 100% delete your phone from existence.

you can always take your phone to a UBreakIFix and have them restore it to Android Pie... but I've read to use Smart Switch Beta version if you want to go back to Pie, idk if that was the version you used or not?
