• You will have to use the lower-level Debian tools (apt), not the graphic Ubuntu ones. So you will have to understand them. If things go wrong, trying to fix thing without understanding what you are doing will make the situation much worse.

• You will have to downgrade step by step: to 17.10, then 17.04, 16.10, 16.04. Quite time-consuming.

• You will have to understand on each upgrade what were the complex changes (e.g. migrating from sysv to systemd), and carefully see how to manually downgrade them.

• Ubuntu likes to change more things on each release than Debian. This will of course mean more potential problems in downgrading.

@Admiral128 just so I understand, why do you need 16.04?

[Admiral128]

@corbinic hey, because I need to run this program with it and the developer said it only works in official 16.04 version.

Abandon all ye hope of getting to "the root directory of your phone" Userland doesn't provide that, I mean if you've rooted (shutters at that talk in the 21st century) your device then perhaps but if it is not rooted you'll not be able to access the root directory on your device.

I have added the request for 16.04 to #581 . As such, I am closing this issue.
