Is there a way to flash a stock rom with TWRP instead of Odin?
Thinking of possible ways to change the region via flashing.
Odin is not letting me flash different stock firmwares. Not even changing the CSC...
Any ideas?
Very simple answer. No.

I'm not familiar with sammobile firmwares and have not used them as backups but here is another option.
Download, extract and flash via ODIN or Mobile ODIN.

Hi,
I´m a neewbie to Samsung. My phone is a S6 SM-G920F, Baseband G920FXXU1AOCW
I came form an HTC and I´ve seen that flashing things are very different. So here are my questions:
1. I think, my bootloader is unlocked but I didin´t know for sure. So how can I check this?
(My HTV showed me this by using fastboot, didn´t know if there is fastboot with Samsung and how to start it - only know the download-mode and how to enter TWRP recovery)
2. Flashing firmware via Odin (i. e. from sammobile.com) means to loose my root again, right?
3. If I loose root, where do I get custom Firmwares and how do I flash them (if this is possible)?
4. If not, is it enough to flash bootloader and modem through Odin?
All answers are appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Maybe someone can link me to an step to step instruction...
Fastboot is android doesn't matter who makes the phone.
If you flash a rom from sammobile then you will go to whichever stock you pick.
Other ROMs are available here. The phone is new. There aren't many yet. Cyanogen mod isn't available yet.
Root is available by flashing cfautoroot with Odin. You will need to get the specific one.
You can replace the recovery by flashing twrp team win recovery project with Odin.
You can flash boot loader and modem. Make sure you get the right region. The modem frequencies are different in different places.
You may find flashing a whole ROM even stock will fail. This is because the partitions are not the same size for all s6 stock ROMs. Don't ask me why. You can open the tar find which file stopped the flash delete it from the tar and flash again.

Thanks for answering. My questions had an other intention, I think.
My S6 is already rooted and I have a custom recovery (TWRP) :good:
I would like to know if you have to flash a whole firmware or only bootloader/modem? Because I didn´t seen a post here for a full firmware yet.
I am not familiar with the differences between htc whole firmware and samsung bootloader/modem
Actually I am on Firmware G920FXXU1AOCW. But there are newer ones like XXU1AOE3 or XXU1AOE4.
In the days of my htc you couldn´t flash only bootloader or modem, you had to flash a whole firmware (like radio, drivers, bootloader, modem etc.)
Flashing only modem and bootloader will it update i. e. touchscreen drivers? If not, where do I get this ones? You know, because of root I don´t get OTA´s anymore...
The modem just controls how your phone hardware connects to carrier towers etc.
The boot loader is a tiny thing that tells the processor where and how to load the OS.
The software for pretty much everything is in /system.
Many of these releases are the same software, region specific. The dates are fairly unimportant for the same version number. They generally reference the time when they were uploaded by someone. Not that they have updates and fixes.
Just wanted to know can I change my phone logo MetroPCS to say T-mobile with all the T-mobile add on. I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 by MetroPCS
Hello,
During an attempt to recover data on the phone after a factory reset mishap, the phone was rooted by a 3rd party program.
I wanted to do a fresh install of the stock firmware but I keep getting a fail message via Odin when trying to flash the firmware from the Unroot forum.
As posted in the title the current firmware is from the December update and I cannot for the life of me find a download for it. Am I missing something obvious here ?
If your goal is a fresh start on stock firmware, don't use any customised unroot firmware files.
Just go to sammobile.com or updato.com and download the correct stock firmware for your model, and flash all 4 firmware files (CP, CSC, AP, BL).
Flashing stock firmware via Odin will undo root, there's no need to use specific unroot firmware.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but I've a question that is somewhat connected to the OP's one.
Will flashing stock firmware with Odin check my void_warranty flag? I f***ed up and my S7 constantly talks that unauthorized actions have been detected.
Stock firmware via Odin will not trip knox or any warranty flags
I'm planning to flash a Germany CRC7 ROM but my CSC is not german. Will there be any errors in stock recovery or will it just change my CSC?
I remember flashing CRB7 from a thread here using stock recovery and I don't know how that didn't change my CSC. Any help is appreciated.
My phone is unlocked by the way.
hello guys!
I have a SM-G950FD (ZTO) rooted by magisk and TWRP recovery.
I need to perform updates by flash a zip or donwload via odin.
The problem is: when I try to update a firmware downloaded on Sammobile (tar.md5) via Odin it changes my recovery causing to lose all data.
This happen because on firmware that I donwload on Sammobile have a stock recovey included. Otherwise, if I use HOME_CSC will also cause lose data because of change on recovery.
I try a lot of things like, remove recovery file from the tar.md5, also try use Abyssal Kitchen, but I can't have sucess.
I ask for help plz! I just need upgrade my firmware without lose data by flash a update.zip or donwload a .tar via Odin using a firmware that I donwload from Sammobile.
Kind regards!
