DOWNLOAD of downgrade seems to be okay

at the blue screen though, want to reboot

Press Volume Down + Power for seven seconds

Phone reboots as normal and unlocks as normal 

This disconnects from Smart Switch but tries to download again and 0% for about 1/2 hour, nothing...any feedback or suggestions from the UI 8.5 team will be greatly appreciated 

This is on my Samsung S25 Ultra

      I remember when trying to downgrade from 8.5 a couple weeks back I ran into same issue with smart switch giving me problems so I ended up just using stock firmware and odin for that reason and just flashed the files in order to downgrade to 8.0

      I was hoping not to go that route. Thank you for replying though. I am not sure if anyone from the actual BETA team would be able to give me any insight, maybe a lock that needs to be unlock from a phone standpoint or even from a firmware standpoint?
