I can't apply theme after flashing NXT-L29C432B152, but everything works fine except themes
After flashing, my build number is NXT-C900B152
Before flash, my build number is NXT-L29C636B103. (hong Kong)
Can any NXT-L29C636B103 users provide his twrp to me, so I can flash backwards
here on xda there is already a thread with the topic. u have to flash userdata from b133 with fastboot

Hey guys, just a quick question, must we always flash the firmware zip file first in bootloader before flashing a custom rom?
I ask this because I had already flashed the latest firmware (3.33.401.6) ages ago, I've been using albinoman887's CM 10.2 rom and Carbon Rom without any problems (well actually, I do have battery issues and 2 small minor issues). But today, I decided to check my firmware version using fastboot command
fastboot getvar version-main
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and I got something like 1.24.401.1.
Well, that's obviously wrong, so I flashed the firmware again and this time it shows the proper version.
So I was just wondering, does doing a full wipe or flashing a new rom affect the firmware at all? Must we flash it everytime prior to flashing a new rom? I don't understand how my firmware was changed even though all I've been doing is switching between JB custom roms.
doesn't affect the firmware at all
i don't know why it showed you that firmware version
flashing any custom rom doesn't affect firmware
there is no need to change it every time you are flashing a new rom
now leave it as it is
Hi,
I´m a neewbie to Samsung. My phone is a S6 SM-G920F, Baseband G920FXXU1AOCW
I came form an HTC and I´ve seen that flashing things are very different. So here are my questions:
1. I think, my bootloader is unlocked but I didin´t know for sure. So how can I check this?
(My HTV showed me this by using fastboot, didn´t know if there is fastboot with Samsung and how to start it - only know the download-mode and how to enter TWRP recovery)
2. Flashing firmware via Odin (i. e. from sammobile.com) means to loose my root again, right?
3. If I loose root, where do I get custom Firmwares and how do I flash them (if this is possible)?
4. If not, is it enough to flash bootloader and modem through Odin?
All answers are appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Maybe someone can link me to an step to step instruction...
Fastboot is android doesn't matter who makes the phone.
If you flash a rom from sammobile then you will go to whichever stock you pick.
Other ROMs are available here. The phone is new. There aren't many yet. Cyanogen mod isn't available yet.
Root is available by flashing cfautoroot with Odin. You will need to get the specific one.
You can replace the recovery by flashing twrp team win recovery project with Odin.
You can flash boot loader and modem. Make sure you get the right region. The modem frequencies are different in different places.
You may find flashing a whole ROM even stock will fail. This is because the partitions are not the same size for all s6 stock ROMs. Don't ask me why. You can open the tar find which file stopped the flash delete it from the tar and flash again.

Thanks for answering. My questions had an other intention, I think.
My S6 is already rooted and I have a custom recovery (TWRP) :good:
I would like to know if you have to flash a whole firmware or only bootloader/modem? Because I didn´t seen a post here for a full firmware yet.
I am not familiar with the differences between htc whole firmware and samsung bootloader/modem
Actually I am on Firmware G920FXXU1AOCW. But there are newer ones like XXU1AOE3 or XXU1AOE4.
In the days of my htc you couldn´t flash only bootloader or modem, you had to flash a whole firmware (like radio, drivers, bootloader, modem etc.)
Flashing only modem and bootloader will it update i. e. touchscreen drivers? If not, where do I get this ones? You know, because of root I don´t get OTA´s anymore...
The modem just controls how your phone hardware connects to carrier towers etc.
The boot loader is a tiny thing that tells the processor where and how to load the OS.
The software for pretty much everything is in /system.
Many of these releases are the same software, region specific. The dates are fairly unimportant for the same version number. They generally reference the time when they were uploaded by someone. Not that they have updates and fixes.
Just wanted to know can I change my phone logo MetroPCS to say T-mobile with all the T-mobile add on. I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 by MetroPCS
I was fiddling with the testing menu on XT1033(GCC Model) running Official CM14.1 Nightly dated 12th Nov 2016. I changed the Radio to "USA" as it was the only option. Now I have no data and no network to place calls.It doesn't seem to detect the sim itself. I am not able to change the radio band now.I tried clean flashing the rom again but still no luck.
Is there anything I can do? I have a complete nandroid backup from MM roms. Will flashing any of those help? Or should I unlock all bands for this device by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55475431&postcount=1
Or should I revert back to stock?
have u tried to flash respective radio/kernel from here??

Flash the radio file from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763 this solved the problem for me. I flashed xt1033 5.1 radio twrp flashable zip file. hope it works for u too
Thank you guys but I didn't have to do any of the things you guys mentioned. I simply clean flashed AOSP 7.0 and then I deleted the radio firmware cache with the following commands in fastboot mode:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
When I rebooted my phone,it worked.
If someone wants to try Full Official Nougat firmware on Lenovo P2 - Here is the link to download and also follow the guide on How to install android 7.0 nougat firmware.
Also for Marshmallow Click here
Feel free to contact me in case if this rom link is already specified in XDA somewhere.

I was initially on 3's S056_UK firmware. Then I flashed S062_ROW over it, no issues so far. I think flashing the S232 over the S062 won't lead to any problems as well. I suggest first to move to S062 as there is no OTA for S056 to S232. Then flash the OTA. Of course you can also do a clean Nougat install if you wish. This is if you go for the twrp version which I prefer.
The link in this thread is for the fastboot version, so you can full wipe your current rom and install this perfectly fine.
The zip on that site is taken from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/7-0-lenovo-p2a42-stock-nougat-update-t3581517
Even the first method is wrong because this zip is for recovery.Method 2 is correct.
Can someone provide me with a twrp restore file? I tried to flash the stock rom but the bat file that came with it tampered with some files and I can't even boot into the stock rom
Hey.
Just installed TWRP from the guide on XDA (will post link later). Odin worked, everything was OK. Until I installed a ROM.
I have tried 4 different ROMs withone outcome - phone wont get past first boot screen - the one witn Samsung S-+ Powered by Android. No matter the minutes I wait, it just stays there. No Samsung logo as normal boot is displayed.
I can freely get to recovery or bootloader. But there is a problem - I dont know the precise string full model number after G955F*. Therefore I dont know what stock image or bootloader to choose.
My questions:
1. How to get back to working phone?
2. How to check the full model number in this situation?
TWRP works perfectly. Odin works. Just System wont boot...
Thanks in advance!

Did you flash magisk before the first boot ?
Did you forget to OEM Unlock ?
Did you flash the right firmware for your device ?
If you forgot to OEM Unlock your royally screwed, follow the steps again to the letter and try CF-Autoroot or magisk after first boot.
Tried both Magisk and SuperSu, both no luck. I did update the phone via OTA, did not flash anything besides TWRP via Odin. Both Magisk and SuperSu were part of AROMA for the ROM.
I have G955F European version. Can I flash any ROM from Any country that matches the model name (via Odin) or do I need specific version that corresponds with my previous stock ROM verson (string after G955F*).
I did unlock OEM on stock ROM before TWRP flash. Downloader mode shows Unlocked True.

That's exactly what i did for mine, odd try flashing the bat stock ROM, also fash the Notorious kernel.
You CSC in aroma should be set to multi ( it's the default selection ) keep everything stock when you flash the ROM and see if it boots before falshing anything else, there is a newer TWRP now ending 3.1.1-1.
Strange thing is, whenever I turn on my phone it boots straight to Recovery - like there's no system partition.
I will download and try BatStock. Should I upgrade bootloader & modem through Odin?
I'm also thinking about flashing stock ROM through Odin. Maybe this will work?
Also, it's strange - I don't see any other files than TWRP folder when I connect the phone to PC.
Installed BatStock Rom, same thing happens - stuck on SAMSUNG Galaxy S8+ Powered by Android and nothing happens.
BatStock ROM in Aroma has option to flash bootloader and modem. Should I use it?
