[Q] bootloader flashing

First of all i want to say HI!
I am plannning to flash Xtrestolite rom for my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900f Kitkat version [rooted already]. It says "Make sure you're on an recent Lollipop Bootloader/Firmware".
Q: can i flash lollipop bootloader on my SGs5 KITKAT version?
It also says "Make sure you have an custom recovery installed (I advise you to use the custom TWRP version by @ktoonsez)"
I can't find this custom twrp by ktoonsez on google search.
This is my first time to flash a custom rom. Please help me. . Thank you so much

Hi, you can look this page:
androidrootz.com/2014/04/how-to-root-galaxy-s5-recovery-root.html
To install a costum ROM you have to obtain root and costum recovery on your phone.
I had Galaxy S2 and the procedure was similiar... you have to download Odin (Samsung program to flash firmware and other system file), PhilZ recovery (a costum recovery) and SuperSU (root app).

thanks for your help

Unable to install any custom rom on my SM-N915FY

Hi all,
I have an Galaxy Note Edge type SM-N915FY with custom rom installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-micky387-rom-v1-0-t2998972
My phone is running on android 5.0.1 with kernel: 3.10.30-andrei-N915F-BOC6-v1.0
Baseband-version: N915FYXXU1BOB5
Yesterday I was trying to install the newer custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-micky387lollifamous5-1-1v1-t3200849
To make sure this will work, I needed to flash the TWRP , after I tried to flashed this using Odin, the phone got in a Bootloop. So I flashed the older TWRP again and my phone is booting again.
So I tried to clear the cache, but then I get the error: Unable to mount \cache, I didn't know how to solve this so I reflashed the TWRP again through Odin, but still the same issue.
Do you guys know how I could install another custom rom? My phone is rooter, just to make sure.
Thanks in advance.

nobody?

To move on to newer custom ROMs (based on 5.1.1), you need to download and flash Stock 5.1.1, which you can download from here, then you can root it, to get the necessary files for doing so, check this thread out.
Credits for TWRP, new ROMs and the possibility of root on 5.1.1 go to micky387.

You Saved me. After I flashed the original android 5.1.1 I was able to flash TWRP and install custom rom.
Many thanks!

Yup, had the exact same problem, TWRP is just not officially supported for marshmallow yet. You don't have to flash the entire rom again, just open up the firmware file you extracted and look for 'recovery.img', just flash that through Odin like normal and your phone should be fine

I had a same problem and it's solved!
TWRP 3.0.0 is not sp for Androi 6.0. Pls down TWRP 3.0.0 in after97.com. Flash it via Odin nomally , you can enter REc

What TWRP did you get it working with?

[Q] flashed Twrp 3.0.0.0 on S6 g920f Marshmallow

Hey, I flashed twrp 3.0.0 via odin on my s6 g920f 6.0.1 rooted device (custom kernel) and now I can't boot into recovery, my phone works well, also download mode, just recovery gives me Recovery is not seandroid enforcing and stuck there.
I know this message is normal and not concerning but it's still not booting into recovery, I flashed the wrong version?

Try reflashing stock 6.01 ROM via Odin. ?

latest official TWRP (3.0.2-0) does not support 6.0 bootloader, so that's why you are stuck on boot.
until a new fixed version is released, you can try to use 2 alternatives :
1. @arter97 version , thread here , download page here
2. idlekernel version , download page here

IDK.. my phone works pretty good, it still starts and no problem at all. only recovery isn't booting.
I don't want to format it and flash stock again just because of it.
djcristi said:
i heard that you need to flash custom kernel , that stock kernel cannot boot TWRP, because of 6.0.1 bootloader.
. I am on the same case now, looking for solution because i don't want to use custom kernel, just TWRP and root it using Supersu.

Actually I am running SpaceX MM kernel(auto root)... so twrp should be fine.

i edited my previous post, you have there solution.

Yeah and it worked. Also flashed xposed, when I installed greenify module it caused bootloops so I flashed xposed uninstaller, I guess no xposed for me
