Hey guys, just picked up my S6 (Australia - Telstra) and looking to flash a custom ROM but keep experiencing frozen boots when trying to get TWRP to work.
Root works fine, tried TWRP app, flashify & odin with no success, the other threads mentioning this problem have me confused with their solutions. What exactly does "AOD1" mean and where can I find updated firmware versions, if some could possible link me to an updated firmware download that would be great.
Also if I'm looking to flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
will I have issues with the bootloader / modem or do I just need to flash the files in this thread ?

Thanks in advance.
Hey mate.
I had the same issue as you, Australia, Telstra. The "AOD1" is referring to the firmware version.
To flash TWRP you'll need to use Odin to install the AOD1 rom which you can download from sammobile.com. I used the New Zealand version. Then use Odin again to flash TWRP, then SuperSU to gain root access.
Good luck!

Hello hoglak
I have a 920I and was also having the same problem.
I solved the problem flashing the latest version of the rom from SamMobile site.
After flashing the rom your TWRP should work.

Thanks in advance
I just used the New Zealand firmware.
I am from Brazil and with the orginal rom the same thing happened, im flashed the generic one and worked.
This one seems to be the general rom to Australia

I had the same problem. The latest firmware for unbranded (XSA) Australia on sammobile is AOC4. I had success with using the Singapore unbranded (XSP) firmware AOD1.
Flash AOD1 with Odin then you have stock everything. You should be able to flash TWRP 2.8.6.2 with Odin and boot successfully into Custom recovery.
You can either take two options from here.
Flash CF-Root and "just root" the stock ROM - Boot into Download (again) and then flash the CF Root.
Flash a ROM or a Mod which has Root included. - My first success was Wiping with stock recovery, flashing AOD1 clean with Odin, then flashing WanamMod on top of it as it included root.
Aussie G920i.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
I have a verizon one m8 which runs stock 4.4.2 it is rooted, s-offed by sunshine and has TWRP recovery.
The LTE bands are open but when there is an available LTE network there are some network problems and many disconnections occur. (mainly when entering the LTE area)
I tried some various fixes but nothing worked so I want to update to a customized lollipop firmware.
I did search a -lot but didn't find what are the steps to update.
Can anyone guide or direct me please?
Huge Thanks
Parnuk
If you are just looking to update the firmware here is a link for you. If I were you I would consider a newer ROM to go along with the new firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159
thanks!
Some more questions please :
Can my current Rom run with this newer firmware?
Will it still be rooted?
What are the chances to get bricked
To get a newer Rom, should I wipe and then install it from twrp after the firmware update?
last one: this all has nothing to do with the recovery, right?
Sorry for the nooobity, it's all so different comparing to my old SGS

Also, hit the link in my signature for more details.
Great, the latest twrp didn't work on my current firmware.
I have an older one, can I update it after the rom?

You can but the chances of something going wrong are higher. Flash TWRP with fastboot, then firmware with fastboot, then ROM with TWRP is your best bet.
Hi,
I have a G920F, I was rooted and want to go to stock again. I have restored the device with Smart Switch, but now I am unable to flash any other rom. I have downloaded 3 different roms from Sammobile and get sw. check failed device 3 binary 2 at everyone. The current rom is form Italy Wind the latest OI9. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, probably you trying to install oldest firmware 5.0.1, download the latest firmware and try again. You are with 5.1, right? This error on odin happens, because you cannot downgrade the firmware. Hope this helps.
I think you can not downgrade even if it is the same Android version.
If it detects you are on a newer bootloader it will give you that error.
What I belive you can do is to extract the bootloader (sboot) and modem from the .tar file and flash ONLY the system through Odin.
Don't know exactly how to do that because I haven't done it but I think that would do; you will have to search and read my friend.
You will have the stock firmware but with latest bootloader and modem.
Hope this helps.
Note: As far as I know this will work if its the same Andorid version; you can not have Android 5.0.2 with 5.1.1 bootloader.

Hi,
I have tried what you said, but no succes. The firmware was already recovered with smart switch so the bootloader is the latest.

But did you try to flash without the bootloader and modem?
This is what is installed on my device: TWRP 3.0.2-3 / android 6.01 (I THINK it's a bit modified rom) / SM-G930FD
I rooted asap I bought it few years ago, I want to update to the latest Nougat version 7.0.0 (I think the 7.1.2 is not officially released, right?)
All I need is stock (slightly modified is also ok) + root and don't mind formatting it to start from the scratch.
What are my options and/or what should I do? Thanks for reading!
Flash the latest stock ROM with Odin, then root.

Thanks for the reply.
Can't the TWRP do the same thing? If I flash using the Odin, will I lose the TWRP?
You need to use Odin to flash a stock ROM which will cause you to lose root and twrp.

Could you tell me which ones should I use? What do you think about the smartswtich?

I recommend matching the ROM to the original carrier.

It's an international unlocked version, does it have a "carrier"? How do I find it? I'm located in Japan and imported this phone.
You can install the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play Store to find out the csc and match that to the ROM.
hello ill be happy if someone can help me to repair my sm-j327w Firmware im nw stock in download mode ( i had tried to root it but like a newbie it had brick it
(any tutorial , compatible FW and help will be appreciated if you need some screenshot just ask it to me )
J327w is the Canadian version, which is provided below. You should be ale to use any version.
https://downloadmirror.co/Wyl/J327WVLS2ARB2_J327WOYA2ARB2_FMC.zip
Grab the CF autoroot file for the J327W here: pakfirmware.com/2019/02/samsung-j3-prime-sm-j327w-root-file/
Flash it.. boot loop gone as it rewrites the recovery. Not sure why but most recoveries posted online will not work (bad MD5s) with the latest July 2019 update but above did not for it's exact intended purpose.
sfirmware (website) should have what you're looking for, i wasn't able to flash my J327WVLS4BSK1 oreo 8.1.0 (or 8.1.1?) using the firmware linked to here or other rev 2/3 j327w/t/u builds that i found searching around
cf autoroot 2019/02 j327w didn't work for my device. i used odin 13.3.3 patched version found on this forum to flash my device specific firmware successfully
