How to Downgrade Galaxy A52s 5G from One UI 6 to 5/4/3

In this guide, we will show you the steps to downgrade your Galaxy A52s 5G from One UI 6 [Android 14] to 5/4/3 [Android 13/12/11]. There can be quite a few reasons why you would want to go back to an older OS release. Some of the features have been removed from the new OS, the UI/UX is not in sync with your requirements, or the system is still unstable- in all these instances, doing a downgrade might prove to be your best bet.

But even then, doing an OS rollback is no easy task in itself, more so if you are having a Samsung device, all thanks to their Bootloader Binary mechanism. For the unaware, you can only do a downgrade from a lower bootloader version firmware to a higher bootloader version firmware. Still, the developers have managed to find a nifty workaround using which you can downgrade your Galaxy A52 5G from Android 14 to 13/12/11. So, without further ado, let’s show you how this could be carried out.
