I am looking to install a debloated, deodexed, busyboxed version of the latest Marshmallow rom, but the only results I can find on Google are people talking about the June release, VLU1DPE2. There was another one released this past December, VLS1DPK1, but so far nobody is talking about it at all.
That is the Puerto Rican firmware. Apparently there is not such a thing as even a flashable ZIP for this version as of yet. Hopefully someone can make one soon for testing purposes.

Can somebody who has installed the newest Mexico Jellybean Rom make some comments about how it compares to other stock ROMs. I currently run the Brasil ROM VQLM-20 from February 3rd.
thank you
I would not recommend that rom because it has a lot of bloatware. I would recommend you instead stock ROM from Claro Colombia (America Movil CO). It is very clean even more than Brazilian one you are using

Technically, it is the same. Obviously, includes all Telcel Apps (some hidden). If you want a fast ROM, do not recommend it. Has many unnecessary things. However, solving the problems that had the Brazilian ROM, especially the indicator LTE.
It's been a while since I last did this, and I'm afraid I'm quite confused...
I am running a custom ROM (Bliss Beta 6) but remembered that updating my ROM doesn't update my baseband/modem.
Are baseband and modem the same thing?
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10398
Using this site here I see that my current baseband (G900TUVU1CNK2) is super outdated. It tells me that G900T3UVU1FOG6 or G900TUVS1FOL1 are the latest, but I don't get why there are two. Which one should I install?
All that being said, can I install using TWRP and a zip, or do I need to ODIN it?
Any help would be appreciated, as I said I've done this before but can't find any updated tutorials that explain the questions I'm asking (I've tried searching google and XDA, if I missed something obvious I would appreciate a link!).
cheers
More research has helped me answer my own question! Sharing what I've found in case anyone else comes across this thread:
Baseband and Modem are effectively the same thing in this context.
G900T3UVU1FOG6 was released in August 2015 and has the fix for stage-fright.
G900TUVS1FOJ4 was released in November 2015
G900TUVS1FOL1 is pretty much brand new (released in December 2015) so there's not a lot on it. This is the one I'm going to try installing.
Followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400 to figure it out.

i've been wondering this myself, so did you update your baseband & is there any change in battery or signal quality? (or i guess stagefright detector?)
also wondering if downgrading is no problem or if it affects anything like that (which stock samsung or other device kernels/ROMs do, sometimes blocking root etc)
Hey, so I actually updated to G900TUVS1FOL1 using ODIN. It nuked everything and installed regular TouchWiz which I wasn't a fan of, but I have no problem installing my own ROM later.
If you're doing the T-Mobile one, then there is no issue with rooting, installing kernels, custom ROMs, etc. I don't really know about "downgrading" the baseband or modem, but I don't think you would need to in this case.
Note that if you have Verizon or At&T you probably want to be SUPER careful, because they lock down everything.

it's a g900t yes
i am going to look into upgrading it more directly rather than the complete samsung image... maybe... so you're confirming the official tmobile samsung 5.1.1 complete installation still lets you flash TWRP then cyanogen without a problem? i came from november 2014 samsung 4.4 to CM originally

yes, I installed G900TUVS1FOL1 with Odin, had root and TWRP installed just fine (couldn't get xposed to work because it was not a deoxdex rom of course). I just installed BlissPop ROM last night which is based on CM13. So yes, it didn't lock me down or anything.
Hi all.
I've been browsing here for XT1572 stock firmware, but I'm not getting much.
Is there anywhere or any thread that is updated with XT1572 firmware?
I'm running the May 2016 6.0 build, but the last flashable firmware I have is the February 2016 build. I like to keep all the stock firmwares at hand for future use. And I'm not sure if I can "downgrade" to a previous release in case I need to update again - since I'm running TWRP etc.
I just need English, so any UK ROM or EU ROM should be fine.
So it would be great to have a place to get these files, but it seems the XT1575 if getting the most love.

Sorry, should have read more closely. I'm not sure that thread I linked has the most recent update, but if you flash everything in it, it should get you back to a point where you can ota to the most recent stock system.
Everywhere I've been looking for the stock ROM for my phone (Moto G4 XT1622 RETEU channel), but I just find links to some sketchy file hosting sites with old versions. Is there any official way to get the latest stock ROM?
I was on LineageOS for the longest time but decided to go back to Stock because a game got updated and doesn't work on any custom ROM anymore.
The ROMs provided by Motorola are old - 6.0.1 (Build MPJ24.139-64) to be precise. As far as I know the update to Nougat has long been released. But I installed the old version anyways, thinking that I'll get the new one via OTA. But every time I check for an update it tells me I'm on the latest version.
Is it because I have an unlocked bootloader? I already tried to relock, but if I understand correctly, I need a newer version of the stock ROM to lock it. ("preflash validation failed / security version downgrade"). But I don't have or can find a newer version xD Am I screwed?
Look on MOTO G4 Plus forum on XDA. Both are Athene and should work for both devices. Revivor2, CreamPie Nougat, and stock by DroidPhil are roms that can be flashed via TWRP. You can download official stock roms and flash via FASTBOOT also. March Security Update is the safest official 7.0 stock rom to flash. June Security Update is an OTA addition to March's one and can cause brick on some devices if you want to roll back to an older rom like March Security Update.

I was on Oreo 85.13 pre-release...then I unlocked bootloader...and installed pixel experience...but meanwhile I formatted all data which ihave backed up..then I installed twrp flashable with June security patch zip..and I was on Android 7..then I flashed pixel experience..now..if I want to back on Oreo stock and to lock bootloader..what should I have To do...???I heard somewhere you need stock Oreo ROM zip where I can find one...???is that same one which we have used in manually updating to Oreo... please reply...
As far as I know the only stock Oreo zip we have is the OTA, which can't be used to flash firmware. We need the full firmware file before we're able to flash stock ROMs via fastboot.
Anyway, I'm also curious if there are any differences for the unlocking/flashing/backup process starting at the official Oreo we have now, and if going back to it later is the same as it is with Nougat.
The stock US OTA update can be found here: https://technoplanners.blogspot.com...tock-update-for-moto-g5-plus-OPS28.85-13.html
This can be side-loaded to upgrade after you've flashed Nougat with one caveat. Nougat has to be at Build number NPNS25.137-92. If your Nougat ROM has the June security patches (Build number NPNS25.137-93) you'll be SOL since the manifest specifies the pre-req for the update. So the fools at Motorola released the June update for Nougat, then released Oreo at the same security patch level and won't let you apply the update. Real geniuses.

That's not quite correct; the build required for this Oreo OTA that's currently around is NPNS25.137-92-14 (June 2018 security patch for Brazil and Indian devices). The NPNS25.137-93-14 patch you mentioned is the June 2018 patch for EU, US and Asian devices, which means the Oreo patch for those devices isn't around yet.
To the opening poster, as previously mentioned, you will have to wait for the OPS28.85-13 stock fastboot ROM to be leaked. You must lock with a stock firmware as new or newer than your current bootloader. You cannot downgrade bootloaders via fastboot anyway and it's really not recommended to downgrade.
The US patch is available (Blur_Version.28.51.16.potter.retail.en.US.zip). It can be downloaded from the link I provided.
Correction: My bad. Didn't realize "92" indicated India and "93" indicated US. Evidently the referenced download is labeled wrong
