Can you flash a modem not specific for your S6 model? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can you flash a modem made for a 920f to a 920k? what happens if you do?

Check;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/flashing-modems-basebands-g920f-t3104336/page2

Not very helpful, no answers in that thread, anyways, can I flash back the old modem if I don't succeed with the new one?

I think it will fail to flash. 920F/T/I have the same chipset.

[REQUEST] CWM Flashable Modem

Hey guys,
I need a CWM flashable file of Indian GB modem. I just want to flash modem, I'm already on the stock Indian ROM.
My cell has been USB Bricked, so I am not able to use Odin to flash anything. I have restored CWM backup of my country's stock ROM [India]. But the modem is still XXLQ3 from the ICS. I want to change it to stock Indian one.
I tried following couple of tutorials to make such files in Galaxy S2 section. But they didn't really work for me. So can any dev or anyone who knows about this can make me a CWM flashable Modem of Indian stock ROM?
Here's modem.bin from Indian stock ROM if anyone needs:-
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3s9jvbrnqt2k2i0/modem.bin
I want to get my cell repaired ASAP. So please, try to make it as quick as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Flashing Firmware / Bootloader / Modem

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

You can't flash g920f firmware on a T-Mobile variant s6, it won't work.
Yeh it will not work different builds
Try the original stock rom for your device

If you make backup for your phone, you could try to
extract the stock firmware for g920t & flash boot.img with flashing g920f firmware
so you need to flash g920f stock & boot.img "for stock g920t".
if your phone doesn't boot up you could root your phone.
