Is there a faster way to update the firmware without flashing KK, rooting and then reflashing the prerooted new firmware? Is this possible without loss of data?
Yes, just flash a lollipop FTF using flashtool.
If you want to keep root, just install recovery and flash a pre-rooted lollipop zip.
If you are currently not rooted and want root after update then you need to downgrade, root, install recovery and flash a pre-rooted lollipop zip
thanks!
I am thinking of trying out MIUI on my OPO. I have lollipop on there now. I know that MIUI is 4.4.2 based and will need a 4.4.2 modem. So my question is do I need to do a full flash back to OPO factory (4.4) and then go to MIUI or can I do straight there from LP?
Thanks!
Flash CM11S then without rebooting flash MIUI rom....you can also flash MIUI directly on top of Lolipop rom (clean flash tho) and manually flash modem firmware via fastboot...
Sorry,this is a pretty stupid question but I've always upgraded my falcon. I just want to know if it's possible to flash custom LL or MM roms while I'm on Nougat. Like,can I just do a full wipe and flash LP or MM rom to downgrade?
Yeah no problem when flashing custom ROMS. Make sure that you're doing clean flash.
I'm a rooted 5.1.1 J700M user with TWRP and basically I can't run any ROM i see in this forum, everything needs Marshmallow, those godly A5 ROMs which improve speed need MM too.
I tried going back to Stock Recovery and Firmware with Odin but failed, tried another thing by converting the zImage or recovery to a flashable with Odin too and failed again.
I'm a Lollipop 5.1.1 user how can go to 6.0.1, the update isnt even showing on the System Update, so i guess i must use a PC.
Please help on upgrading my rooted 5.1.1 TWRP J700M to Marshmallow
Go to www.updato.com and get an MM rom for your fon and region.
Flash with Odin.

I think you can flash this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-resurrection-remix-mm-5-7-0-t3414185 and then flash ROMS that require Android 6.0 , As it is saying that to install Resurection remix, it may be with Android LP, or MM,
Ok, so I'm on TEKHD's 5.1.1 Rom currently but want to test drive some of the newer stuff. They all say I need to be on stock 6.0.1 prior to flashing. I can't just flash a 6.0.1 Rom straight from where I'm at?
