Anyway, this guide is mainly for TA-1012 model, but I guess it can work with other models as well.
I. The Downgrade part
1. Unlock your bootloader (critical)

This is how I downgraded from Pie to Oreo. I can't guarantee it works for everyone but it worked for me. It required an SD card and a computer.
This is not a guide for the android development savy users but for people who preferred oreo to pie. It works without an unlocked bootloader and an unrooted phone. You will have to wipe your data so backup everything beforehand!
STEP 0) Remove your google account from your phone so you can prevent it automatically updating to...

So to unlock the bootloader, you will need to downgrade your phone to a legitimate version of android 8.1.0 so the apk will not error out and get you a verification code. This guide will show you how. NOTE THAT...
