Untouched Lollipop Firmware (androidfilehost.com)

Some people have requested other download links to get their firmware from other places than sammobile.com. I have to agree with them, when I downloaded from there it was a$$ slow and they make you pay for a quicker download speed....which is a HORRIBLE model for the android community. Others also couldn't download from sammobile directly on their device. Therefore, I have started to download certain firmware and upload to Android file host.
Here is what I have compiled so far:
SM-N910T - N910TUVU1COD6
SM-N910W8 - N910W8VLU1BOC4
SM-N910R4 - N910R4TYU1BOC4
I used this method to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903733
Is there any other firmware you would like? Let me know and I will add it to the collection.
I am not responsible for any damage, flash at your own risk.

If I install this can I put twrc recovery and use cf autoroot?

No. Those are base firmware tar files. Flash via Odin 3.09 or newer. Both CF Auto Root and TWRP are flashed in the same manner.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

So the phone can be rooted and backed up after the update is what I'm saying?

Yes you can. If you update via Odin, you can then also use CF autoroot to root and install TWRP. I will post a link to what I have used to do this. I am using COD6 rooted with TWRP 2.8.6.0

SM-N910R4 added

thanks!

I was wondering what other firmwares can be flashed to a Tmobile Note 4? Is it dependent on what other regions have the Qualcomm processor in the Note 4? I'd love to try something other than the Tmo firmware.

Thank you good sir!

I just happened to see your unanswered question - didn't know if you were still looking for an answer - unfortunately you cannot flash firmware from another phone on your phone using ODIN without bricking your device. you can flash the new Firmware for your phone and follow steps offered in the various XDA threads to install roms that are based on different variants - for example - if you are on TMOBILE Note 4 - once you have rooted - you can flash a Rom from the International version of the NOTE 4 - there is another file you have to flash to fix certain problems - but it can be done. you probably should do a google search to find all of the specifics - good luck - hope I helped you.

Thanks, it makes sense. I got a little confused for a minute because I can flash any country's firmware on my Tab S, but it's the WiFi - only version. Now I remember about installing international ROMs on the Note, system only. Thanks buddy [emoji106]

There is a newer firmware for the W8 - BOE1 - release 05/05. BOC4 was from 03/12.

No you cannot. Firmware has to be flashed on the model number it is intended for. May I ask why you wanted to do so?

No developments for the T237P.
I have the T230NU but returning it since the T237P has OTG support (and there is an OTA 5.1.1). The 7" Galaxy Tab 4 fits perfect in my vehicle without any mods to my dash. I will share the pictures.

Not disagreeing with you but there's even less development for the SM-T337A, not that you would be able to use its firmware on the SM-T237P. There is a deodexed, rooted, knox-free stock 5.1.1 rom available for the SM-T237P: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/sm-t237p-stock-rooted-deodexed-4-4-2-t3095711
At least theoretically if you have deodexed you can install xposed and use any number of xposed mods

Thanks, but that is not an actual deodexed firmware, it's missing the entire system folder so no system apps, priv-apps, framework. Also, what do you think of this, does it mean that the we can flash a T335 ROM on the T237P? http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-sm-t237p-t2849224/page2
I want to first receive the T237P, see what firmware is on it, if 4.4.2 and a 5.1.1 is available OTA then I can try to copy the firmware from the logcat and see if I can do anything to it like a full deodex.
Thanks again.

No. I guarantee you cannot flash a t335 rom on a t237p. No 8.0 inch rom will work on a 7.0 inch model. Cfautoroot just messes around in the recovery partition, that's much different than an entire rom

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i have a similar question and didn't want to start new thread. I am using my tablet for wifi only, would it be possible to use a rom from wifi only models? I have T237P also. I have flashed Philz, root, and xposed is working but i would like to upgrade to nougat at least. If not I will probably sell this thing and go get the Tab A (although I didn't see a 7inch model with more than 8gb storage)

Is there any TWRP or other recovery for SM-G930V

Seems like the only recovery is see in TWRP is for the edge or international versions of the model, so I'm having a hard time adding a recovery. Can anyone help??? I'd greatly appreciate it.

No...the phone just got root and the bootloader is really locked down. No one saw us getting root, so who knows what can happen.

IF we get anything it will most likely be safestrap. So no AOSP.

Use FlashFire!

FlashFire is the compatible recovery. There are two ROMs for the Verizon S7 Edge. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development I have personally verified that the PlayStore ROM posted for the Edge will work on the S7 flat.

I should mention that you need to be on the U firmware prior to flashing those ROMs. The ROM also installs the G935 engineering kernel, so you need to flash the G930 boot kernel with Odin afterwards. I can make a write-up later if there is any interest.
I can even modify his ROM with the correct build.prop and kernel for the G930V.

How's the stability and finctionality?

A guide would be awesome. How do I get it up and running lol.

Sounds interesting, don't know if the different firmware/kernel would run better on our Verizon variant.

If you intend to root it, then you still need to use the same engineering kernel. I will say that before I rooted the U-firmware, the phone was much smoother and faster in stock form than the stock Verizon firmware.

Does flashing the engineering kernel unlock more LTE bands by chance? Band 12 to be specific..

Not just the kernel alone. Flash the U firmware and you will be able to select any band, as long as the radio is in the phone for it.

Thanks. Is it the G930U or G935U firmware that's needed? I'm guessing the Edge U firmware is what you're speaking of.. is it a simple flash? I'm running PE1 rooted at the moment.

930u for flat 935u for edge. Just flash entire image over. Shouldn't need root

OK I just accessed service mode on the PE1 firmware.. no Band 12 or 17 option. I'll flash the 930U firmware and attempt again to see if there's a difference at all.
Also, is rooting the 930U firmware the same as the PE1 firmware process?
Sorry for hijacking this thread.

I flashed the G930U firmware and was able to receive Band 17 successfully. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction with the U firmware!

Did you flash the 930U firmware on a flat S7 or edge Verizon variant device. I have a rooted Verizon device and using it on T-Mobile.
Version 6.0.1 July patch.
Can you pm or reply here on how you managed thanks

G930v custom recovery pass dm verity
Can someone point me in the direction of a thread to install custom recovery on the Verizon varient S7? Say hypothetically I could pass the dm-verity check.
How would I go about implementing the pass to install a custom recovery.

Is it possible to flash the firmware of an S5 from a different region?

I recently purchased a Galaxy S5 model (SM-G900L) and want to flash it with the (SM-G900I) firmware. Is this possible using only Odin? No root etc?
Thanks

NO. It is not possible.

Will it just not accept the firmware or will it cause problems?

It will not accept the firmware. And if it accepts it, then all sort of problems will come. Not now, but at a later date.

It is possible. Install TWRP. Make a zip from the original rom and install it as a zip by TWRP.
Tool to create zip is:
Assayed Kitchen
Im Using the G900F Rom for an G900T3 Phone.
But you can't flash another modem, firmware or modem from another phone.

I am not so much worried about the modem it's just that the L I bought has tonnes of Korean text in places I can't change along with the apps that have no relevance to me. Flashing it with the Aussie I firmware would be really helpful just to remove that stuff.

I don't know what L means? Is it Quadcore Snapdragon?
You can't damage your phone by flashing the firmware via Zip in TWRP.
The worst case is to install the Original Firmware again.

Sorry I was abbreviating. L as in SM-G900L as opposed to SM-G900I.
You need an unlocked boot loader to use TWRP right?

Yes, you can do it by installing the correct version of TWRP by ODIN.
Maybe you'll have to acktivate the OEM Feature in the Developer Options first.

Hi. My question to you is, what do you want root for.. do you just want to root your device with stock rom or you want to use some custom roms?

I just want to root it so i can fully control my device.. delete some bloatwares and can download app with root supported like titanium backups and etc. Its either stock rom or custom rom can do..as long as it is safe and never affects my device performance..and dont make my device a laggy issues or something like that. Thank you for the response..

Hi. Sorry for the late reply.
If it says 935f. It's probably compatible with roms and recoveries for 935f.
If I'll have to do something like this.. I'd definitely try myself first. Just use odin method to root 935f. Since it's just flashing recovery and installation of super su. There's not much at risk. You can try odin method. If anything does wrong you can still flash it back using odin too....
And if it's about custom rom. I'd highly recommend checking your phones box for the type of chip inside your device. Download recovery and flash via odin. Copy rom to sd card and flash it. But do remember to check oem unlock. Plus you need to download the exact rom for 935 model and exynos/snapdragon version.
