So it has been a while since I rooted my son's galaxy s5. I am looking to update it to the latest firmware but then want CM on it. Can I just odin the latest and then oden TWRP recovery and then flash CM? Or is the latest firmware going to block that?
I'm currently on the latest OK4 firmware, and have had no problems flashing TWRP when I upgraded.

So my friend has an S6, it's the international 920f model and it's currently on a rooted 5.0.1 with TWRP flashed. I'm not really anywhere near him, and he has no PC to flash it to stock with Odin like normal. Is there anyway he can flash it all to stock on the phone itself and then being able to update to 6.0.1 via ota?
I have a Galaxy S5 and it's on 5.0.1 Stock not rooted or Custom recovery. I want to install Blisspop 6.0.1. How would I go about doing this? Is it ok to install the 6.0.1 OTA and still be able to root and install custom recovery?
Edit: Ended up just OTA. Mod delete thread please??
It's probably easiest to update OTA, since it will preserve your apps, data, & settings. I wrote a step-by-step tutorial on how to update OTA to 6.0.1, install a custom recovery, and root. Here you go...

I believe blisspop is still based on 5 firmware. If you update you'll just have to go back to OK4 firmware to run it.
So i installed a custom noughat rom on my note 5. I can switch to marshmellow any time i want by twrp and my backed up marsellow rom..
But i am confused how is Flashing Android Noughat custom rom using TWRP diffrent from Flashing Noughat ROM using ODIN?
Is the diffrent just that noughat custom rom is running under marshmellow boot loader?
I am new to Android so please Explain
Am i losing any thing by not updating via OTA ???

First off, you do not lose anything by updating through OTA except the convenience factor. The reason you can flash a Nougat ROM on your phone through twrp right now is because the Nougat ROM has a marshmellow baseband, just like your phone. Once the firmware comes out officially by Samsung and TMobile then you will need to Odin the firmware on your phone to be able to use Nougat ROMs with the nougat firmware.

I see i get it now.
I think i will stick with custom roms because i do not want to risk flashing odin.

This is something to be familiar with if you flash custom roms and own a Samsung.
Given that the Oreo S7 update has now been delayed, I've been trying to flash a variety of the custom BTU and Note 8 ported ROMs on my Canadian W8 variant. Every single one I've tried will put me into a bootloop or hang at the S7 logo. I feel like I must be doing something wrong and would appreciate any help if possible.
I'm currently using the Superman Nougat ROM v2.5.0
I've tried the following steps:
Doing a full wipe - Reboot to TWRP - Wiping everything except SD - Reboot to TWRP
Installing each ROM either using AROMA or flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip then installing the zip for the ROM and/or flashing Magisk-v16.4(1642) and/or SuperSUv2.82
I've chosen both updating the bootloader and modem and NOT updating the bootloader and modem, but no difference. I've tried all different combinations above and I've tried flashing stock via ODIN beforehand.
If anyone has had any success with flashing any of the Oreo ROMS out there on the W8, please let me know which ROM you are using and what steps you've taken to flash successfully. It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Updates?
I am running W8 on Alex DevBase ROM 5.8 (WAS running)
I Odin flashed back to Oreo stock tho recently.
Best of luck.
You need to update to oreo with odin first
Just flash stock oreo, install twrp.
After that you gonna be able to use oreo rom.
I'm on superman 3.0.1 right now.
I'm using Resurrection Remix on the W8 S7 right now.

I did flash stock Oreo via Odin (lost root)
I CAN flash TWRP but getting root is where I run into problems. What am I doing wrong?
I did find that Dev OP from Superman posted an updated TWRP specific for Oreo S7 maybe I should try that one?
Hi, as the title says im looking for a way to keep TWRP while i install the newest stock room for my specific version of the S7 Edge.
I already downloaded the 2GB zip file from sammobile, but that files are made for the Odin installer, and if i install it trough Odin i am guessing TWRP will go away.
tl;dr: Im looking for a way to have MAGISK hence TWRP and newest stock for my specific version of the S7 Edge

The only way you're going to flash any kind of stock firmware while keeping TWRP is if someone has conveeted your stock firmware into a flashable.zip that can be flashed in TWRP. If there is not a flashable .zip available, you wont be able to do what you're trying to do.
The only other way to flash stock firmware is to use Odin or mobile Odin and they will both remove root and TWRP.
Typically, Samsung devices that are rooted and have TWRP can only update the stock firmware via Odin, mobile Odin, Kies or SmartSwitch. This removes root and TWRP which means those users have to root their device again and flash TWRP again.
