Welcome.

Without a great deal of difficulty, involving rooting, warranty-voiding, and general mucking about, you can't Do you wish to proceed with that? If not, state what you dislike about Pie and members may be able to suggest remedies.

Try flashing the oreo firmware using Odin tool
U can check YouTube for tutorial

Just flashing the firmware will wipe the phone also. There's more involved if he has anything on it that he wants to keep.

If you do succeed in reinstalling the previous version you'll probably need to install a piece of software that costs only a few pounds and which will prevent the phone detecting the Pie update and nagging you to install it again. That's probably the easy part.

Backup data > flash Oreo firmware with Odin > restore data... easy enough... plenty of information online with a simple Google search ... this "forum" is the very last place I'd personally come to for advanced assistance with anything...

Is there a setting where you can "turn off" automatic updates...and then go one step further and turn off notifications (after the first time you say "No" to an update)? Thanks.

It's really not though, but agree to disagree.

If you want reliable help with things like this, XDA is where you should look... definitely not Android Central.

They are more geared towards , flashing,ROMs,mods, but I've helped lots here on those types of issue myself , but you go there to find help on why my Bluetooth not working and you forgot the obvious turning Bluetooth on , well you know how they will respond.

Yes, but as Samsung confirmed to me, it is ignored.

I ended up very nearly sending the device back for a refund, since it was demonstrably faulty, from date of manufacture, and easily proven. In the UK this means full refund.

However I found a way to gain control of the phone and completely disable all updates. It can be done, but it is not always straightforward.

Samsung really want us to buy their S10 model now.

You're missing the fact that sometimes Samsung puts a lock on the bootloader, preventing an update rollback. They've been doing this for quite some time.
