You can not flash 920F bootloader on 920T. That's why it fails. There is no mm bootloader for other variants than 920F.
You should wait until T-Mobile releases updates.

Sorry to hijack a thread. Having a similar issue with my g920w8. I can flash modem and TWRP but I'm also stuck on the bootloader. It's the only thing stopping me from rooting.
Xtrestolite Rom thread has an extensive detailed directions and all proper links. But that dang bootloader is just being... Ugh..
How do you turn off reactivation lock exactly? I'm looking through threads and trying various little details I find such as this.

There are two Bell mm ROMs available via Updato, have you tried those via Odin?
You have to disable reactivation lock while booted into a (near) stock ROM.

Hey thanks for replying!
My issues was actually just an isolated one. I was trying to flash a bootloader older than mine and SuperSU was being pain not wanting to flash.
So went back completely to stock, used chainfire root and finally the process was easy from. Somewhere, something was just being ignorant =)

I didn't flash Marshmallow. It was the actual OTA =). Problem was resolved though. Just the phone having a hiccup.

[ROM] D800 KitKat Manual Update with Root

DISCLAIMER - I am not to blame if you screw up your phone. Proceed at your own risk.​
Thread closed since there is an option now for stock AT&T crap with recovery and international version with recovery, with working google wallet and no carrierIQ or AT&T bloat.

YES!!! It will take a long time to flash...did not hang. Just needs time
I will have custom ROM up later tonight.
I will have custom ROM based on International version once it is released and I can get my hands on the KDZ or TOT. This way we do not have to deal with CarrierIQ.
Thanks for this, awesome work.

Are you using the aboot from one of the 10x builds? I am pulling the ROM down now but I am concerned that installing this will update my aboot and make it so that going back to a different kernel/ROM will be difficult. I am not all that up on LOKI so perhaps this is just a dumb post :/.
What if we are on the unrooted KitKat ota? Just flash this? Or downgrade, then flash recovery and then flash this?

when you use lg flash tool to go back to an older firmware, it replaces your aboot with that firmwares aboot. so you have nothing to worry about.

we need a custom KK rom from you. GOGOGO.
Ah, OK. So if I'm running houstonn's PA ROM I can't just go into TWRP, wipe everything, and flash this ROM? I first have to downgrade to stock 10d, etc?

If you have a custom recovery just flash both rom zip and superuser. No need to downgrade unless you have stock recovery.

I am not sure, I was on the latest MM update from Verizon.
My phone got wet a few months back and my NFC has not been able to turn on since. Also, I was also having issues adding fingerprints though I could use fingerprints that were in there before. I thought maybe doing an ODIN flash may help atleast verify it isnt software related.

Can't go back to lolipop from Marshmallow

I already have PK1 MM ROM on my sprint s5, but I can't flash lollipop ROMs and Odin keeps failing.
How should I do that? Thanks.
you cant. there is a physical "fuse" of sorts in the phone that once you are on PK1, you cant go back. All you can do is root, twrp and flash 6.0 ROMs

yeah, there are several of wifi hotspot apps out there that work on 6.0. Might want to poke around in the themes and apps section. Sometimes people get a little anxious about talking about hotspot apps because of the debate over it circumventing carriers money making abilities and that violates the TOS of XDA, but the last thing i saw the mods on here were ok with talking about it
I did, from PK1, and PL2 to OK4. So it is posible. Try redownloading/Odining OK4. Also there is a PK1 ROM with hotspot modded.

you can only odin back if you didnt take the OTA. So, it depends really
Maybe that, because I downloaded the full Tar.

here is the list of sprint basebands just for reference in case youre interested
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/SPR/
and youre in the 6.0.1 family and if you got it that way, youre likely not going to be able to downgrade (if thats what youre wanting to do), but you can root by flashing the PCA baseband then follow the 6.0.1 root instructions (im not sure, but i think theyre still just installing the appropriate TWRP, boot to twrp and flash supersu while in twrp)
