[Q] general questions about flashing and boot stuck

Hello,
I am new on android platform and i have some general questions.
For example, when i want to flash my kernel, is this kernel only for an especially firmware or can it be used for all firmwares ? I am from Germany and android 4.0.3 isnt published for my sgs 2 i9100g yet. So i flashed with odin 1.85 the original but indian firmware . Then i wanted to flash lucifr's kernel, but when odin was ready and it was succeed, my phone stucks in boot screen . Did i do something wrong ?
And when i fix this problem, should itry it a second time ? Sorry for my bad english

[Q] How can I flash a different country firmware?

Hello guys!
I like cm roms very much,but I can't flash any cm 11 rom because my phone is from china, Samsung have update your phone to 4.2.2,but not the devices in china. As you know,cm 11 won't work on 4.1.2. I fell very very sad about this:crying:.
I try to flash a different country Firmware(4.2.2) through odin3. but it did't work.I know your phone can do this.....:crying: I just want to know why? Is it because my phone's bootloader is locked?
Many friends of mine are also want to flash cm 11....but we can only use cm10.1......:crying:
Baseband:
I9105pzcami1
Andriod vertion:
4.1.2
PLZZ help me and my friends....
(PS:sorry for my bad English)

Have you tried flash cm 11 directly from 4.1 bootloader??,may it works most dev write on their op to use 4.2 bootloader, but none tried and tell us may it works too with 4.1bootloader
Edit#
Or you mayvtry this cm10.1 build from @LuK1337 which stabler and more fluid, say thanks to him
https://mega.co.nz/#!w4dUCDDD!NhEHBT9Uo8ZPAmkPVNOamzSCmaTf4sqQWzBpnt1K0uI
Then right after you successfully flashed this one and booted then make a try to flash cm11 newer builds from @b..taki

You should only flash "PDA" and not have the "Re-partition" option ticked. For flashing official firmware, follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428753
Also, flashing Note2 firmware on an S2 Plus is probably not a very good idea.

oh ,I‘m so sorry,I think my poor English makes you misunderstood,the screenshot isn't of mine...I mean my case is just similar to the picture,I'm sure I flashed a s2vep rom..I tried just flash PDA too...I think it is because my phone's bootloader is locked that what makes the failure..:crying:
I have tried many many methods according to the internet....someone said that I should use mobile odin pro app,but this app won't work in s2vep...I almost feel desperate about this ,I think it's time to buy a new phone...
PS:I can successfully flash an offical 4.1.2 rom...

It's impossible...download 4.2 official stock firmware...use the link given by AmoledIsBetter, follow steps, make sure u use the right firmware for ur phone (P version or no P version), and if something goes wrong come here with screenshots from ODIN. If all its OK u can flash CM11 easy...

Never heard of a locked bootloader on a S2 Plus.
Silly question maybe, but are you using the correct Samsung USB drivers for your PC? Did you flash CM 10.1 from the same PC previously?
Which 4.2.2 file are you trying to flash? I know that many have flashed I9105PXXUBNG1 from Germany.
Is your device genuine Samsung?

I think you are still factory locked. (Still locked to a carrier)

Something I read in a thread in past couple of days is that if it's a Chinese handset they can have their own drivers, so search for them, rest of the world drivers may only part work.

Help me please.
Here what happened. I was initially on WanamLite.XXU2BOFO.V2.2 rom. Decided to flash Arcadia 4 so carefully read all the instructions on the first page. Downloaded the latest BL n Baseband files from the front page (G920F_XXU2BOGG_BOOTLOADER.tar and G920F_XXU2BOGG_BASEBAND.tar). Flashed both in ODIN 3.10.6 and the phone automatically rebooted. Then on the first screen where it says Galaxy S6. There are two lines in red color saying :
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
System Rev. Check Fail. Device:2, Binary:1
And its stuck there since then. Have tried everything like several tries to reboot, flash Unibase kernel, TWRP from ODIN. Nothing works. Its just stuck there and wont go past no matter what I do. Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated

i noticed some users r still confused about bootloaders & basebands..
IM A G920T TMOBILE USA USER
1. since i can't use this fw baseband & bootloader i use my carriers latest fw and use both the baseband & bootloader from that fw
2. i clean install & flash the rom!
i have zero issues! this is how it is done if u can not flash a G920F bootloader & baseband due to have a different model!
REMEMBER!
IF YOUR MODEL & CARRIER HAVE NOT RELEASED A 5.1.1 FW THAT U COULD USE THE BASEBAND & BOOTLOADER FROM, IF U FLASH THIS ROM, UR FINGERPRINT SCANNER WILL NOT WORK, & YOU MAY HAVE POSSIBLE OTHER ISSUES! USE A 5.1.1 BOOTLOADER & BASEBAND FOR BEST RESULTS!
**********************************************************************************************
hello, I don´t know which bootloader & baseband to use because my original carrier is T-mobile, but I changed it to metro in order to unlock sim. I am on 5.0.2 metroPCs firmware and ROM(STOCK ROM), now my phone says model number: sm-g920t1 but real is sm-g90t when I was on T-mobile firmware, do I have to get bootloader & baseband from 5.1.1 metroPCs STOCK ROM(is there any???), can someone confirm if these are of metroPCs 5.1.1,
SAMMOBILE (SM-G920T1)
2015-08-01 USA (T-Mobile) 5.1.1 G920T1UVU2COFB G920T1TMB2COFB
2015-06-01 USA (T-Mobile) 5.1.1 G920T1UVU2COF9 G920T1TMB2COF9
I suppouse I just have to flash this to obtain its baseband and bootloader(keep sim unlocked) and then install ARCADIA ?? Has someone tried??? can somebody confirm if this work and sim keeps unlocked??
I am afraid because If I flash this I can´t go back to 5.0.2(G920T1UVU1AOCH) and I will have to flash T-mobile 5.1.1 and SIM will be locked.
please someone clarify me
thanks in advance to everyone

ROM Cook [6.0.1] [ENGLISH] [N900X-Snapdragon] Darklord S7 Edge Full Port - Bug !

I have recently installed ROM Cook [6.0.1] [ENGLISH] [N900X-Snapdragon] Darklord S7 Edge Full Port.
The install went well .. no problems.
However there is a known bug that requires a bootloader and modem flash.
The problem I have is the camera will not record, it will allow you to press the red button .. seem like it's recording but once you click stop it will freeze the camera app.
I was informed a possible fix would be to update the bootloader and modem.
But I don't understand which to get ...
Should I get a new bootloader for the S7 edge ? should I get it for the Note 3 stock ? Should i get it from note 3 5.0 lollipop ?
Can someone help ... I don't need to be babied .. but if you do know where I can download it directly a link would be greatly appreciated.
I do know how to use ODIN .. or I can use TWRP ..
Whichever is suggested.
Thank you in advance. :highfive:

This is in the wrong forum its a question .
The topic is confusing as it looks like a rom post .
Plus i cannot find this Rom Cook thread to see your answer .
I believe that the rom above has nothing to do with XDA so pointless asking about bugs here .
The bootloader and modems are posted in the baseband/ modem and bootloader thread .

It'a just a few posts away.

But question to you or anyone else that knows.
This bootloader is for N9005 .. but I have a N900W8 ...... would it still work ?
Also i did try to install with ODIN and it failed everytime.
Sorry to be annoying ... but I just need the video camera to work and this rom is perfect.

A few questions

Hey guys! So I have a few questions about the oneplus one here, I'm checking for a friend and I always had a nexus where matching firmware doesn't really matter much. So here they are.
1) What happens if you have the wrong firmware for a rom? Softbrick? Hardbrick? Nothing at all?
2) For a Nougat rom, what firmware do you use? Since this phone hasn't got an official firmware update for Nougat yet.
3) Is there a special recovery here on XDA that can flash all roms? (there was one for the oneplus two) or is TWRP good for all roms?
What confuses me the most about oneplus devices is how the firmware works different from most Android devices. Thanks guys!

Thanks! So it's not as important as it seems? I notice some roms here on XDA specifically say to have the newest firmware, or a certain version. The rom is still expected to boot? And what's the worst case scenario? A soft brick that can be easily fixed with TWRP or something worse? Thanks for the reply! Like I said, I'm coming from a Nexus 6 where none of this firmware stuff really applies :angel:

Yes the rom is a still expected to boot,though,the recommended frimware is to be used so as to avoid any bugs.
However,some roms do require the recommended frimware in order to boot but I don't think even if flash any rom which needs recommended frimware will take you in any kind of brick condition as when you flash a rom on incompatible frimware you'll see error in Twrp,if so happens you just need to have recommended frimware in your storage and flash it then flash the rom again and you'll not face any errors.
Good luck!

1. If you are using TWRP, nothing will happens. Because when you flash a ROM, TWRP will comparing your phone model with build.prop on the targeted ROM. Because based on my experience, somehow i download LineageOS for d802 and flash it to my bacon. TWRP gives an error and didn't flash any firmware. I don't know about CWM or other recovery
2. I'm using Lineage OS. It's pretty good so far. No bug or whatever
3. TWRP is good for all ROM. i think any recovery will do
