flashing rom - General Questions and Answers

do I need to unlock the bootloader to upload a newer version of android via odin?

No need to unlock bootloader, to install an updated rom via odin you just need to turn on USB debugging option in developer options on your device, install correct drivers on PC. Can't update via OTA?

How to flash a ROM when you cannot access dev settings/cannot boot android?

Hello,
If Android will not boot, how does one flash a ROM without being able to access dev options in Android Settings - unlock bootloader, enable USB debugging?
Thanks.

Need to install TWRP without PC and root

My SM-J701F won't connect to PC through USB, but I can unlock its bootloader from Dev Options in the phone's Settings menu.
Is there a way to flash it without a PC? (The phone's Knox counter is blown, but it is NOT rooted)

Need help unlocking bootloader / using fastboot

Hello, my device is J7 2016 (SM-J710FQ) I installed twrp through odin and flashed custom ROMs but I didn't unlock the bootloader and I need to unlock now but since I use custom rom there is no "OEM Unlocking" option in developer options. I followed some guides and threads but I couldn't make it.
Here is what I did:
-Installed latest drivers for my phone
-Installed adb and fastboot
-Installed adb and fastboot drivers but I cannot change the driver. My phone is detected as "Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device" in fastboot and when I try to use the "Android Bootloader Interface" driver an incompatibility error occurs and driver doesn't change.
-My computer has Windows 10 in one disk, Mac OS in one disk and Windows 7 as virtual machine. I will install ubuntu alongside Mac OS.
Please help me to unlock bootloader / use fastboot

You already unlocked your bootloader by enabling the OEM Unlocking option. If you hadn't unlocked your bootloader, you wouldn't have flashed twrp and custom roms. Why do you want to reunlock it again?

Help

I recently deleted my stock rom and twrp off of my rooted asus 4max. I cant get adb to detect my device cause I'm stuck on the bootloader and fastboot options and cant access developer options to revoke usb debugging authorizations please if anyone can help.
boot into bootloader, flash recovery, ex. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, after that boot into recovery and flash update package for your phone.
