I have a samsung TabA2016 - sm-t580 & it is now on Android 8.. I need a firmware to downgrade it to Android 6 . I tried several firmwares official & unofficials but with no luck.
 
I don't think that Android 6 Marshmallow was ever made for this tablet, it's too recent. it came with 7 Nougat when it was new AFAIK. If you really wanted 6, it would need to be custom built.

Have you got some old app or game that won't run on anything later than 6?
 
Thank you sir, it originally came with android 6..i upgraded to 8.. But i have a problem with the flash files on 8.. & i have 2 tablets with the same problem.. Is anyone willing to help with a custom firmware…?

IF you mean Adobe Flash games or animations, Flash is not supported on Android, neither is it supported by default on any of the main browsers. Chrome will allow you to run Flash, but it asks for permission each time.
Flash will be deprecated (killed off) sometime next year. AFAIK you'll just have to live without it.

I seem to recall a previous thread where you asked about Flash problems, so I've deduced that this is an important issue for you.

As @Davdi said, Flash is on its way out, and will soon be a thing of the past. I honestly can't even remember the last time I saw or used anything Flash-related.

If you're willing to tell us the specific apps/programs/sites you're having problems with, maybe someone can offer viable alternatives. In my opinion, this is a much better solution than trying to downgrade four Android versions (10 is in use now; you want 6), which would cause its own problems--like failing to run current apps.

At some point you're going to have to acknowledge Flash's demise. *shrug*
