I have installed my stock rom with stock radio and firmware on the sensation which is GB and i am about to s-off and need to know if stock recovery is needed for warranty to pass. I also dont know how to with my nz version not match any of the downloadable stock recoverys found on xda. Will using one of the other versions be fine ???.
I flashed a telstra recovery that was closest to my software version number, i hope this was ok.

Yes the stock recovery is needed for warranty purposes. I must be missing something, if you installed your stock ROM and firmware, why so you not have the stock recovery as well? The recovery is included with the stock ROM. Also I suggest you just download the stock RUU for your device and flash it, then you are set for warranty work or exchange.
I got a sprint stock rom i want a Canadian stock rom how can flash it do i have to change the csc before i can flash it i get an error attempting to flash another stock rom via odin could someone enlighten me ?
Im coming from an HTC device where flashing roms and flashing firmware were actually two seperate things due to security.
I was wondering that when you get a custom recovery on the LG G3, and flash a rom, do you have to also update your firmware as you go? Or does the firmware flash alongside the roms?
thanks
If you are referring to bootloaders and radios as firmware, then the rule regarding matching up the ROM to the radio applies as far as stock based ROMs go.
Need help with SM-S-906L "tracphone' model......how to apply a custom rom or odin
I have read more than a few have managed to flash roms onto the S6 tracfone model (sm-s906l), namely verizon based.
Does anyone definitively know what Verizon based rom or tar can be flashed onto this model and how?
I am rooted and stock on this phone, but I just want to apply virtually any Verizon based rom (custom or stock).
I have tried to ODIN a stock based VERIZON tar.md5, but it failed. (one that matches the android version)
I would be ok with installing TWRP, and flashing a verizon rom, but do not want to try that unless I know it won't brick.
Thanks for any info on how to get any verizon based running on this model

Great question. I'm digging through posts trying to find the same thing.
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.
