Set up Android Debuging Brige And Flashtool on your Windows/Mac/Linux then follow instructions from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
N910C
Version 5.0.1 stock TW
Baseband: N910CXXUIBOF1
Build: LRX22C.N910CXXUIBOG1
With that, I need help
I would like to update to a custom rom, 5.1.1.
I've read multiple rom threads and I have tried Wanamlite 3.2 for n910c. The problem was, after flashing through TWRP, my fingerprint scanner lost functionality. I learned that i had to flash the BL + modem zip through Odin to make this work. As of right now, i have no access to a computer.
Is there a flashable zip the bl and modem that i can flash through twrp?
Do i need to flash the same bl and modem for the custom rom i choose?
Is there an avaialble custom rom that does not require updating the bl and modem or is there a custom rom that includes a flashable zip for the bl and modem?
Thank you in advance and sorry for the noobish questions.
Bl can only flashed on odin

Just flash latest firmware but instead of that I suggest flash latest miui beta rom and then revert back to Ur custom ROM in this way u will get latest firmware note- playing with firmware is not good enough many gets hard brick I got one time too that's why I said flash miui instead of direct
