[Firmware]G925P OF7 Stock Firmware 5.1.1

Decided to help you guys out with a faster download.
DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE ON OI1 FIRMWARE OR YOU WILL SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE
How to Install:
Using odin:
Download and install the drivers
Download the Zip file
Unzip
Download Odin
Leave Auto reboot and F. Reset Time checked
Absolutely do not check repartition
Click AP/PDA
Navigate to the OF7.tar
Click Start
First boot takes a while so be patient!
This is rare but if for some reason you get a bootloop or stuck on the Sprint screen, then you will need to wipe your internal or do a factory reset. Back up any files that you may want to a computer or drive just incase you lose them.

for some reson the stock .tar wouldnt fully boot, it would get close and then restart, so i did a factory reset in the stock recovery and it finally booted, lost my internal data
id just make sure you get a backup just in case. my s6 has been sketchy every flash since i got this thing lol so its probably a 1 in a million

Is there a way to flash just the radio/modem? On my HTC I can flash just the radio or stock recovery, etc. I was wondering if it's possible on Sammy?

Yes but you can't downgrade the modem. I heard of hard bricks in the past

I figured, thanks Sooop!!! I remember on my HTC M8 I actually used an older modem cause it got better reception than the newer one.
It's all good. Running smooth as butter and wicked fast... Kinda just wanted to see what 5.1.1 brings to the table.

Same here. I've never had an issue with tripping knox... It's just this would be the first time I'd have to send my phone in if I jumped to 5.1.1. I guess I could just not root, but that's no fun!

I've sent plenty Samsung devices back and taken them in the store. I usually atleast try to Odin back to stock. I had a buddy take one in with TWRP installed and got by. Samsung is the only one that you may have trouble with. I can confirm that you're ok with Sprint

So far as I know, flashing stock samsung firmware will NOT trip Knox

If it trips Knox, then it will be up to the repair centre the phone goes to and the carrier, regardless of EU, UK or any other LAW as Knox trip does invalidate warranty. Just because you are lucky enough to get a phone fixed after it's had custom software on does not make it the norm. And if you're refused warranty, good luck challenging it, Europe or not.
As for going back to 5.1.1 I heard it wasn't possible without breaking Knox.

Have you had any luck? I want to as well because my battery is draining like 40% faster now that I upgraded. That and there's a few bugs that I can't get rid of that bother me quite a bit.
I've tried the various guides online using Odin3 and the ROMs from SamMobile but I can't get it to not fail. I've factory restored it multiple times and tried all of the updates to Odin 3.10. I can't get any of it to work and It's making me mad! I've tried two different PCs, made sure the drivers for reading the phones are updated and even multiple USB cords! I just want Lolipop back so I can enjoy my phone and not have it be dead halfway through my day!

I have some problems with touch and want to try downgrade, how?

Hi,
Flashing ROM from sammobile never worked for me. This is what I did.
Download the latest 5.1.1 bootloader, modem and TWRP 3.0 for your model. Flash them in odin after putting them in respective locations. If successful, the phone boots into recovery, where you can restore a 5.1.1 backup if you have any. If you don't have a backup, see that you have a ROM file ready in the phone to flash.

I honestly have no idea but used to fail everytime.

http://justforprogrammers.blogspot.com/2015/12/downgrade-from-marshmallow-to-lollipop.html?m=1

I think, point is from WHICH 6.0.1 to WHICH 5.1.1- generally some combinations work.
Somebody knows which??

Downgrade not work for me, bootlop, no recovery mode for wipe after flash, only download mode. Knox not trip.

Is it possible to force my Z5 to update?

So marshmallow has started rolling out over the past few days but I still have not got mine yet. I'm an Australian with a Telstra plan and they have not been good at rolling out updates in the past (It took months to get lollipop on my z1). Is there a way I can force it to update?
Not rooted btw

Hello,
You can't force update, but you surely can flash through flashtool and xperifirm.
You won't lose warranty or lose DRM keys.

You run the risk of lots of apps crashing if you don't wipe.
I did just that and the phone was unusable.

My HK phone wasn't updating OTA so I just plugged it into the Sony PC Companion thing and it upgraded to MM automatically, although took longer than anticipated because I think my internet connection was buggered.

I was running fine without reset.
Sure, a completely clean install is much better.
Just did it on my device

When a newb fails, bricked s6(SOLVED)

So, i was trying to flash a ROM after i got my recovery and root going on, i wiped EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE recovery file i made and the installation file i got in the phone when i went to wipe the system files and attempt to install the ROM. So, i tried to put the ROM files into my phone via the ADB method. It worked but my ROM didn't and now my S6 is in a boot loop. i have tired Odin, smartwatch and kies. On kies and smart watch, they both said the attempt to install stock ROM failed and attempt a emergency recovery. HOWEVER, both software did not recognize my device in the emergency recovery devices list, nor did it recognize it as a compatible device in the 1st place, i tired to reinstall the drivers and the software themselves but nothing worked. For Odin, it keeps on saying fail to flash as well, it usually stuck on the 'nano write' process or 'setting up connection' process for a long time too! I did download the official Samsung firmware and extracted it, put it into the blank next to the 'AP' button in odin and i got 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' checked off. On the phone, i can boot in to download mode and download mode only, now it shows me a triangle and it says that stock firmware flash failed and use emergency recovery. i actually download a custom recovery and for some reason it wont boot into that.
Model number: SM-G920W8
carrier: fido
If any of you pros got any ideas please share with me, i've been trying to fix this problem for about a day and a night.

I had to use DC-Phoenix, which unlocked BL and flashed update.app. I couldn't do it manually, because my phone wasn't detected by adb devices and I didn't know that code you need for unlocking bl manually, dload method didn't want to turn on.
