The stock rom that you tried to flash just previously there, was that 5.0.2 or 5.1.1?

[Q] Updating to 4.4.3 with a custom recovery

Hi, I have a xt1032, UL and rooted, stock rom and kernel, Xposed with TWRP. The ota just hit my phone this afternoon and I have been trying in vain for hours to update it because I need the bug fixes badly. I am trying to find the OTA.zip file....either that or the stock recovery.img file. Thank you in advance!

i dont know is there a stock recovery img in the pack of last version but i think there is just read all install drivers then flash stock rec. and then update ota,if you deleted some system apps you will get error then u should flash system chunks only to fix it after that do ota till get 4.4.3 flash costum recovery root and that's it

I flashed the stock recovery and also uninstalled xposed framework..still got an error message and update failed. I didn't delete any system apps but has some frozen thru TB. now defrosted and trying again. I'm on the T-mobile network (I thought it was cdma but I guess it's GSM) should my kernel be the174.44.1.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.us? because I noticed it no longer has the 'AWS' part..if anyone could offer some insight on that
So you didnt sucsess to install ota ? Why dont you flash stock rom maybe you have some errors in system and then update.My version is like u wrote (it was before update) xt1034 quote me if u done with flashing and get ota search on forum stock rom images im on phone cant find link right now .

No, no success for me yet- there are links up now in other posts for the xt1034 my friend. I think at one point I flashed the wrong firmware by mistake, cuz I definitely have a xt1032 and the version should show 174.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US but this pic has the AWS version for the xt1034 that is not right for the xt1032
Dude you dont know wich version u have remove back cover and see on battery then install US retail rom im post link in last reply.pm if something goes wrong im not at home right now .

[Q] Plz Help!! Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..

Sprint Edge with stock lollipop. I tried to root using odin, not sure what happened. Im an idiot, Im leaving for work in 3 hours i cant get my phone going again. When i try and use Kies it asks for a code which i dont have. Can someone give me the correct CF-Auto-Root file??? PLZ help im lost in a sea of information!
Do one thing flash twrp recovery and then u will be able to boot normally..for rooting install su.zip using twrp recovery
Do you have the stock firmware? Get it and Odin to get you going again.
can anyone help me downgrade my note edge n915p from lollipop to kitkat, i tried flashing thru odin but it failed showing error, i want to unlock downgrading the firmware to kitkat...
so it looks like the only place i can find the stock firmware is SAMMOBILE?
Ok i got it! I flashed recovery as advised
All good?

How to go from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1, root and flash xtrestolite as rom?

Hey guys,
I'm a bit confused on how to flash the above mentioned rom as I'm still on 5.0.2 even though the update is actually already out.
What confuses and scares me is the warning about the bootloader and modem...
Anyone did go from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 and flash xtrestolite as rom?
Help would be appreciated, I'm too used to the easy flashing of nexus devices
flash stock 5.1.1 , flash twrp through odin (take from their website to your device),**** flash unikernel I think for root access ****, and then flash xtrestolite from twrp.
**** = maybe not needed, but just in case

Everything is actually mentioned in his thread. Read it and ask if you have more questions.
But short. Flash 5.1.1 bootloader and modem, flash 5.1.1 stock, flash twrp, install XtreStoLite.

Why would we flash the bootloader and modem first? Wouldn't the 5.1.1. stock include it all?

I have absolutely no idea. I couldn't get on 5.1.1 before that, but I may have different something wrong. But it can't hurt, to do the above.
Judy follow the instructions on the thread.
Hey guys i have a problem with 5.1.1 and twrp 2.8.7.1: when i reboot in recovery i can't see my phone in windows explorer and i'm unable to copy the rom on the phone. Do you have the same issue?

Stuck at Galaxy s6 logo

Hi,
I wanted to install a custom rom but seems like it was unsuccesful.. D: Now i'm stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S6" logo. I can enter the recovery mode though. Is there a way to fix it?
There's also a message in red which says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing".
Thanks in advance!
*Solved: Flashed the wrong version of twrp. That caused the issue. Flashed the 5.1.1 stock rom problem solved

Here are two separate techniques. First try a factory data reset from recovery. If that fails use odin to restore the stock firmware

Oh wait, just re-readed what i typed. Seems like it rolled back. The problem started after installing the recovery. 1st i rooted it with odin which worked after testing if i had root. Afterwards i installed twrp with odin aswell, rebooted and everything was still working. Then i went to flashify and chose "boot to recovery" which led me to my actual problem.
During the instalation of twrp i din't have any issue, it just said "Pass". So no recovery mode for me
Can i just download the stock rom 5.0 from the forums? I had android 5.1. If not, is there any place to download the stock 5.1 rom? (Sammobile is way too slow)
Also, when i said "i can enter recovery mod though" i meant, download mode.

Download mode is totally different from recovery mode. As long as you can boot into download mode you should install stock 5.0.2 through odin. It will unbrick and unroot

Thank you, downloading right now the stock rom. Also, any clue of what could've failed during the process of the twrp instalation? I installed this version :/

Just asking to avoid the same issue in the future.

I have no experience with TWRP. All I know about TWRP is it makes flashing zip files easier

You can't go back to 5.0.2 if you took the 5.1.1 update because of the new bootloader also the reason you are stuck on the splash screen was because you started with 5.1.1 and probably used an older version of TWRP use 2.8.7.1 not 2.8.7.0 or anything lower because 2.8.7.1 is the only one that works for 5.1.1 on this new bootloader.
Odin back to 5.1.1 not 5.0.2 and I understand SamMobile is very slow so use this thread it has most firmwares mirrored http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387

Just in case i downloaded both. So i just have to reflash 5.1.1 and use TWRP 2.8.7.1 right? Welp, just noticed by checking my downloads that i downloaded the 2.8.6.0, now everything makes sense. Going to go back to stock and do all the procedure once again. I'll keep in touch!

OK, correct flash 2.8.7.1 and flash to 5.1.1 but if you go back to 5.0.2 then you will brick your phone also tip when flashing custom roms use unikernel or some kind of custom kernel because sometimes it won't boot also you will have this same problem if you flash a rom based on 5.0.2

How are you trying to flash the firmware? Which app are you using? You didn't root the phone did you?
Try this but use your own firmware!

Unfortunately you can't do that if you've rooted the phone and used Marshmallow then the DM Verity will fail either way and so will Odin.. You have to get a rom and then boot into twrp recovery and flash the rom that way! If you cannot get into twrp then reflash it using Odin and try again.. Once you root the phone it trips the Knox Counter and it prevents you from doing what you're trying to do.. twrp is the only solution at this point.

You can flash pretty much any rom you want really but for now I would look around on the Sprint forums and see what some of the devs have already built that way your network and everything works the right way.
