New OTA update - BuIld LMY47X.G928CXXU2A0J5 blocks recovery and root on G928C

Guys I have a G928C model which just received an OTA update of some 150MB. I can confirm that it is a fresh update which came today.
After updating I tried flashing custom recovery following the method mentioned on [HOW TO] Rooting Flashing Custom Recovery & Kernal thread. Odin fails to flash recovery, stock recovery remains. Other two images are of me trying to flash the older stock rom which gives another strange error.
Please help me out.

Did you enable the option oem unlock in developers options?

OEM unlock and usb debugging were on

MD5 of the files were ok? I assume you have the kernel/recovery specifically for your device.

No issues with MD5, kernel or recovery. Was running the device with custom recovery,kernel and root before i went back to stock and updated it OTA.

It is mentioned a few times that J5 is NOT downgradeable, so no chance to go back to you old rom!
and, if i remember right, it also has been mentioned that J5 blocks custom recovery! search in the general section!

After MM WiFi NOT Working on Stock 5.1.1

After testing MM build, WiFi will not work on stock 5.1.1 build. I've tried TWRP Restore, I've tried "Return-to-stock-Tool", and I've tried XT1575 "Pure" Stock Unrooted TWRP backup found in Development section.
In settings --> Wifi --> flip WiFi switch and it turns on and right back off. This is only happing in Stock 5.1.1 build.
WiFi works fine in AICP ROM...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Have you made sure to flash back the original modem from 5.1.1. If you still have MM modem then it definitely won't work on lollipop

Using the "Return-to-stock-Tool" would flash the 5.1.1 modem, wouldn't it?

You need to flash the modem again after you flash the "Restore-to-Stock-Tool"
You will find the modem in the Tool folder (NON-HLOS.bin)

With flashfire you can backup and restore modem partitions, they are stored by default in l4z format.
I've got my own for MM and N, my device is XT1642 if anyone want's them I can share.

i have 1643, i doubt it'll be the same!
since nougat doesn't seem to support 2g (there's no option in the settings for it) i was wondering if i can flash the MM one to N.. will that work? any idea?

Even if you did I don't think it would make any difference.
If you're in stock N I recommend you stay with N modem, flashing MM modem won't help.
Open a separate question for the 2g issue in the questions & answers section, maybe someone has been able to solve it and can point you out in the right direction.

N910TUVS2EQE2 Firmware & Modem!

I made these ODIN Flashable Firmware and Modem files for myself. And figured I'd share them here for anyone wanting to upgrade their phone without having to download the entire ROM!
**** Warning!!! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! XDA or I am not Responsible for ANY Destruction!! ****
Install Directions:
The procedure I use to install these is, In Odin Untick 'AutoReboot', then load Modem file into AP slot, Flash! When complete, Pull battery for 5 sec. Then REBOOT into Download Mode Again.
Then in Odin, load Firmware file into AP slot, Flash! When Complete, REBOOT!
Done!
N910T ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910TUVS2EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910TUVS2EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
N910T3 ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
Enjoy!!

They are for t or t3?
Thanks
Edit. I think they are for t only. Could you upload for t3 or explain which files to use? Can I just extract from official fimware and flash the .bin in odin? If yes, which files should I extract?

Im a little unsure about your question, so ill try to answer best I can.
Yes this can be flashed with any rom, rom doesnt matter, this is flashed in Odin! It updates your Bootloader and Modem! BUT you must pay attention to what your ROM states. Some ROMS dont work Good with certain Firmware.
About the baseband, This would update it.
Since Im new to the N910T model, Im unsure about the downgrade procedure. So You might want to check that your model can be downgraded back to DOK2 once you update. Just in case your rom dont play nice with new Firmware!!
Hope this answered your question! I added install directions to OP

having issues with my Note 4 T-mobile
Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks

I would highly recommend you start a new thread for this, there are many reasons why a phone could be doing this and you need
to provide more information, like what happened before the phone was restarted, did you have a stock rom or a custom rom, were you trying to flash anything when it started restating, were you rooted, can you boot into recovery or download mode...all these things factor but like I said I would definitively start a new thread because your hijacking someone Else's and it has nothing to do with the topic.

Yes bud, you'd get better responses making your own post in question area. As I'm not on here a lot. And only people visiting this thread are few to download this link. I just seen your post.
But since I am here I'll try my best to answer you.
Judging by your post, I'm gonna assume your were on pure stock and took an Ota that went bad? Correct?
2. If you used Odin, and noticed you didn't mention getting errors.
So it leads me to ask are you using this firmware here, because this isn't the complete rom. And that's what you want!
Let me know if this is correct? Plus explain more detail? Model T or T3? Last update you were on and file you tried flashing?
And I'll help you get correct file and such.

EQE2 Modem only on DOK2 base 5.1.1 Rom?

Thanks, but I think those files are only for T1 variant.

Think u' re wrong, you've said to flash bootloader in AP slot (i knew in BL). Modem baseband is CP. AP is for recovery.

[Q][STOCK] Downgrade to sprint Stock

Hi,
I've found the following (SPERRY_SPRINT_7.1.1_NCQ26.69-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip) stock ROM on firmwarecenter. But it's not a usual ROM, I can't flash the zip with TWRP as usual.
Do you guys have any link to the Sprint stock ROM ? Or any tutorial to explain how to flash a ROM like this one ?
Thank you,
Djokx

Unpack the zip file first and use fastboot for flashing whole firmware by using fastboot commands. Ex: fastboot flash boot boot.img

They don't typically make stock firmware for flashing in custom recovery. Unzip, rename files from .xml to .img and install with fastboot.

Here is a decent video on flashing stock firmware on a Motorola device.

Thread cleaned - could we try and answer the guy's question and avoid bickering please? Perhaps someone could zip up a Recovery Stock ROM?

This is largely true, with a few notable exceptions. Wileyfox, for instance. From personal experience.

Here you go
sperry_stock_7.1.1_NCQ26.69-33.zip
Untested since I do not own this device, but it should work for you.
PS. I was mentioned over here, but I guess it got cleaned. I am sure nice things were being said, right? lol
edit: Just noticed this is not the exact firmware you were looking for (33 vs 48).
Here is the one you requested
