Stock ROM Backup

Hi,
I have rooted and installed TWRP on my 910F Note4 as I was fed up waiting on the lollipop update rolling out. I am currently on 4.4.4 and have made a full backup using TWRP of the stock rom.
My intention was flashing the Cyanogen ROM and using that, but i now see on sammobile there is a stock 5.01 rom available. I have a few questions about this.
1. If I flash to Cyanogen can I still revert back to the stock rom 4.4.4 I have made a backup with? I read somewhere there might be problems as I was on KitKat then moved to lollipop(Cyanogen).
2. Can I flash the stock lollipop rom from within TWRP? Or do you have to do this via ODIN?
3. If I flash the Lollipop stock ROM with Odin I assume I will lose root and TWRP? So this would have to done again?
Guess I am asking what is the best way to proceed?
Thanks again
Paul

hi Paul,
1. i beleve to flash CM from kitkat you will need to install the lollipop bootloader first.
2. You have to flash the stock rom via Odin, you will keep all apps settings and files but you will lose root (you u can re root in 3 minutes)
Best thing you could do is flash the stock rom first with odin, see how that feels (IMO its good been using it for months now) and then root it and back it up and flash CM12 (you dont have to flash any boatloader at this point)

Ok tried to flash Stock O2 UK lollipop ROM via ODIN and got error message on screen. MD5 too big or something. Had to pull battery on phone. Had to then reflash TWRP. Got back into TWRP and tried to do a recovery of the backup I took but phone is stuck at Galaxy note 4 screen. It then shuts down and restarts and gets to the same screen again.
Do I try a different ROM? What can I do?
Thanks
Paul

I got it working by flashing the German non branded ROM... Got the error message again but then used a "All samsung recovery.tar" as stated on another post in here and it booted fine eventually... Now on Lollipop. Now time to flash with TWRP.... Again!!!

Please, i need help !
I need help, urgently !
My Note 4 SM-N910C does not work. I can enter the Recovery and the Download Mode. When attempting to install a Custom ROM gives me an error that says I have no data. In the internal memory I have 0mb.
I tried using odin, but I can not .. Salta error.
Someone who can make a backup of your phone (which is factory), leave me a link to download it? So I install the TWRP. Please.
They have another solution?
Thank you.:good:

SM-G900F STOCK ROM, please help

Hi,
I have been using RR for quite a while now, but lately I am having several troubles and I'd like to go back to the stock version, now that MM is available on S5 officially.
Is it possible? What is the best way to do so? Can I use TWRP to update the rom instead of odin?

Yes it's possible, just download your official stock rom from sammobile, then extract the tar.md5 file from the zip and flash via odin. 1 point I will say is do a factory reset via twrp first as it's a clean fresh start. Once phone is done reboot to recovery and do another factory reset vis stock recovery. Then reboot and enjoy. I personally went backwards and went back to kk

thanks, why is it Odin needed? Cannot be flashed like another rom using TWRP?
Also, I need to register to sammobile, I guess there is not alternative, right?

Because it's the official software and unmodified Samsung firmwares must be flash via odin. Plus it's the safest way to get stock back. If u can find a stock MM rom that's already been tweaked and made into a zip u can but modems and bootloader's (which come in official firmwares) can only be flashed via odin. It'll take around 30-50 mind to download on pc, are you wanting unbranded UK firmware? If so give me 20 mind to upload it

Thanks, I don't remember much since the last time I used odin. I will look up for the instruction. I have just another question, I guess in doing so I will loose the TWRP boot. Is that right? If so, how am I supposed to backup and restore the data?

Do a backup first and store on ext sd card, no if card do backup and move to pc, then once flashed stock just re-root and flash twrp again and then u can restore your backup.

I installed the rom/firmware G900FXXS1CPHW_OXA1CPE1_BTU_UK_6.0.1 and I am now stuck in the bootloop...I guess I am not using the right firmware. Any help? (UK Samsung Galaxy S5)
edit: fixed, I forgot to disable the re-partion option on Odin

TWRP to Stock Recovery

How can I go back to stock recovery?
I am on TWRP, but using stock rom. I can no longer perform OTA updates. It would be easier to just go back to everything stock. TIA!

Anybody?

Try flash the new stock rom and should revert back to stock recovery and update the player same time.

I flashed this version 7.1.2 (N2G47X, Jun 2017) with TWRP. I think prior version can not flash with TWRP.

recovery resets to stock after update.

I have rooted my op5 and got twrp recovery but every time I update the rom by flashing it from recovery the recovery goes back to stock. Is it normal? Or is there a way to keep the twrp recovry ever after updating.

You need to flash supersu/magisk after flashing a ROM update to keep TWRP

Yes, and flashing the stock ROM also flashes the stock recovery. Hence TWRP being replaced.
If you want to keep TWRP after a stock ROM flash, just flash the recovery img file right after you flashed the stock ROM.

Or use Flashfire and check the appropriate box.

Use Flashify it's an app in the play store I had the same problem. Flash recovery via that

So I don't need to install it via bootlaoder every time.. I can just flash it via recovery after installing the rom and that will work??

Yes. I updated mine the exact same way.
But remember, flash them all at once and reboot only after you're done. Rebooting will replace TWRP with stock recovery and you won't be able to flash TWRP in stock.
Flash stock ROM, Magisk or SuperSU and a TWRP.img file, then reboot.

My SM-G900V is soft bricked. Help me out!

I factory reseted my S5 but when it went for the restart it said:
Recovery booting...
SYS REV CHECK FAIL(K) : No version
Secure : SECURE VERSION failure (recovery.img)
then
SECURE FAIL: RECOVERY
with Start up Failed screen and a prompt text to use the software repair assistant.
As you can see i while back i tried to flash it to newer OS but i remember i just couldn't manage to install the custom recovery or root it so i dropped it. Now it's come back to bite me in the ass, what do i do? Please help me out.

Those writings do not bode well.
I'd try to flash the latest stock factory service firmware for your SM-G900V.

I am currently downloading the 5.0 lollipop from sammobile as that is what was originally on. I have my doubts as to whether it will work since i was most likely unable to root the device or install the custom recovery. Is it possible to flash it back to stock firmware without root?

Rooting process changes system partition and/or boot (kernel) partition.
They both (and recovery partition too) will be reverted back to stock after flashing a stock firmware.
Which version of LP do you currently have?

I finally finished downloading the verizon 5.0 G900V firmware and flashed my phone with odin which surprisingly worked. But now it has so much bloatware crap it almost makes up two entire screens. Can i flash it to latest marshmallow stock rom and should i ? Since i don't believe i will be tinkering with it anymore. Anyway thanks for your help.

You definitely can but I cannot say if you should.
It depends on many things.
I think it's a good idea to have the latest firmware if you're just a usual phone user and not interested in rooting and so on.
