[Q] do you guys flash latest fw every time you change roms?

im just curious. pretty much every rom thread with latest ics says to flash rom, then flash latest firmware. ive been on the latest fw for a while now and never flash the firmware after i put a new rom on. so, do you?

Hi,
If you have the latest firmware (3.32) on ICS,Then there is no need to flash it again every time you install one of the latest ICS ROMS.

yeah 3.32 is the way to go now, try the sebastianFm or faux kernels, both are stable.

you just have to install fw once , and when there was a new fw you need to flash the new fw just once .
no need to flash same fw again and again .

Flash firmware is only required if you decide to go back to the old GB ROM

thanks for the response guys. im just trying to troubleshoot my mobile data drop problem. since it has happened with a number of different roms im just trying to rule things out.

Well done very good

If you flashed new android and it failed you should try to flash old android version

Flash original android firmware (Stock) via Odin, Some reason partition tables are messed up. I think you tried to flash a different model (Using g925i and flashing G920f firmware).

Try to flash a old version .. I think it may help u.

i see the problem i believe. the error comes about at the "hidden.img" part. ill post a link here from reddit on how to fix the hidden.img problem and i suggest you carefully read, understand and follow every step.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/35zshn/howto_fix_a_failed_odin_flash_softbrick_hiddenimg/

Use a different USB cable and slot. I know silly, but Odin is picky.

It's getting failed because the firmware which you are trying to flash is not compatible with your phone, head over to sammobile and download proper firmware.

Go to 7zip open the rom change the name of hidden.img to hidden.img.tar and than reflash and it should be a success

That's because the carriers are blocking downgrades now so once you take a certain firmware update you can no longer go backwards. Other custom roms are fine because the bootloader is unlocked.

I'm not trying to go back a firmware I'm just trying to get on the latest stock ROM . I know they won't let you go back . Any suggestions to get back to stock I got all my stock tar file ROMs from sammobile

It looks to me as if everything went okay except the modem.bin file so in the firmwares you have use a program like 7zip and extract the modem.bin from a newer(different) firmware and then zip it back up into modem.tar to flash it with odin.

Custom Firmware issue

Hi guys.
so i bought this used galaxy s6. it was dirt cheap. it runs perfectly fine but the problem is that it cant update because of the custom rom, so i decided to flash the stock firmware on it but apparently odin fails to do so. kindly help me out to take the appropriate steps.
