flash 5.1.1 rom - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can some1 give me a tutorial to flash a 5.1.1 rom after 6.0.1 rom xtresolite ?
I flash bootloader and modem în Odin ? But where do i put the files ? Bl and ap?
And after that i flash the 5.1.1 rom ?

If it's stock ROM, just flash ROM in Odin. Then immediately boot into recovery (it will be stock recovery) and factory reset. Then boot ROM.

[Q] If i want to flash Lollipop do I have to stock everything?

I want to flash the lollipop factory image. My phone is on 4.4.4 as an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. Do i have to return to stock to flash the image?
Thanks in advance
when flashing a factory img, you wipe out your partitions. why would you have to flash stock for that? also, you would have to reroot. why not just flash a flashable zip of lollipop stock or aosp? found in the android development section for the n5.

[Q] How to come back to stock RECOVERY?

hi,
I have Lolipop 5.0 in my Moto G + root + TWRP. I received the 5.0.1 OTA but of course I can't apply the update because of TWRP. I read (here) that I need to come back to stock recovery to apply the update. I'll loose root access but that's ok, I'll root again later. My question is: how do I come back to stock recovery?
Thank you.
The same way you flash twrp.

can't find XT1032 Lollipop stock recovery on XDA, I guess I'll have to open a new thread to ask... I flashed 4.4.4 stock recovery (through MotoTool AIO software) but I haven't been able to flash 5.0.1 update then. So I think 5.0 stock recovery is required to update to 5.0.1.
Thanks for your help.
If by chance you have the link to XT1032 5.0 stock recovery, please post it!

I guess you're using custom rom so restore to STOCK ROM .
Follow this guide (at the end dont flash any custom recovery) Stock recovery XT1032
Automatically you'll get stock recovery

no, I'm using stock ROM, with TWRP + root, that's it. So I just need to stock recovery to apply OTA update.
But thanks for the link, I understand how to use it to come back to stock recovery. Except... that this guide is for XT1033. Do you think I can use recovery.img XT1033 image file to flash my XT1032?

Downgrading 920F from 6.0 back to 5.1.1

Hello. I've been using android 6.0 for a while now, but I'm not very fond of it, and I'd like to downgrade back to 5.1.1 stock so I can root and install custom Roms.
I've searched and found nothing, so how do I it?
Downloading UK 920F firmware gives me a zip file with 5 different files. Are there any particular order I must flash them with odin?
what are the files?
AP_G920FXXU3COI9_CL5816106_QB6438203_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
BL_G920FXXU3COI9_CL5816106_QB6438203_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_G920FXXU3COI9_CL5816106_QB6438203_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_BTU_G920FBTU3COJ1_CL5868306_QB6555338_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
So, 4 files.
I just want to get back to 5.1.1 so I can root and install xtrestolite without any problems.
thats how i did it
try downloading this zip
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/62892/G920FXXU3QOLD_G920FTEF3QOL1_VIA
extract it and flash the .tar.md5 over odin (AP)
reboot to downloadmode and flash the twrp recovery
boot into recovery
(backup optional)
wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data
now flash the xtrestolite in the recovery and reboot
But I need to flash bootloader and modem also, since I was on 6.0?
no i think that's all included in the .tar.md5
How do I know that the version you linked me is the right one for me?
you have an sm-g920f ?
Yes, unbranded.
so i'm no developer but i have the same device and i did it in the same way so why shouldn't it work?
Did you downgrade from 6.0 aswell?
Want to give an update:
The best way to do this is using Samsung Smart Switch and following the instructions when plugging in the phone.
Problem solved.

Now I am on 6.0.1 beta. Does this trip the KNOX counter? I must downgrade to 5.1.1 to claim warranty
you dont need to flash 5 files. Just flash OI9 BL,and then flash 2.8.7.1 twrp. then flash 5.1.1 custom rom

TWRP 3.0 (mm compatible) via Odin

Here is the story.. flash the stock rom (920F/THL) 5.1 Then updated to (ota) MM but when i tried (many times) to flash TWRP via odin it says it passed (successful flashing) but it would not boot to twrp instead it boots to stock recovery. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated..

I have the same problem, except in my case I only tried once, since it went into boot loop and I had to re-flash MM. (Which fixed the problem)
Twrp currently doesn't work with MM on Galaxy S6. There's a older version of twrp from chainfire that works through quick boot app, but that's it. If You want to use the newest version(3.0) then You'll have to flash oldboot.zip and then go to recovery , do anything You want and then flash newboot.zip or just simply reflash the sboot file using odin.

my current rom is custom stock debloated and deodexed from from Pavan. i don't know what is the CSC code of the rom but its based on J700MUBU2APF1
Try this
Download the ZTO MM rom.
Do a full wipe in TWRP.
Reboot into download mode.
Flash the MM rom via Odin.
You'll have to reinstall TWRP (Odin) and reroot (TWRP).
