I've got a Sprint SM-T377P running the latest QH2 build, however, I'm having some connectivity issues. I'd like to wipe and reflash everything, including the modem, however, I can't find a tarball. SamMobile only has the previous build from Oct 2016.
Anyone have a full tarball available for the T377P?

I have currently the stock APD1 (April security patch) but want to flash stock APB4 (which is older, February security patch) becasue I want to compare battery life on both (I've read better results on the original firmware from the S7 Edge)
ARe there any concerns/warnings about flashing an older firmware version through ODIN?
Thank you very much!!
The only concern is when you flash to an Old Stock firmware is that you loose your Data so i would suggest to backup everything and After that youre Good to go.
Hi all
I’m very new to the custom roms world (I’ve just got an S4 I9505 see specs below) and i would gladly appreciate your advices. Feel free to share any advice.
I am starring at the Kitkat Google Play Edition JFLTE-GPE by Danvdh (last update 28/01/2018).
Could you advice me 3 very battery friendly roms ?
Maybe Official Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly 7.1.2) as you told me stylemessiah ; JDCteam Optimized Lineage OS 13 (stable 6.0.1) ; ... ? I read also about MIUI.
Many thanks for your help.
ps: I’m French (sorry for my bad english) using the “Free Mobile” Carrier which needs XEF CSC (i mean i prefer english language rather than french, but i need to use the “Free Mobile” Carrier).

Edit 1: Thank you audit13 for your feedback. I have successfully flashed TWRP twrp-3.1.1-0-jfltexx.img.tar with Odin v3.13.1. Then i have backuped my stock rom (EFS partition included), just in case
I would like first to do a full backup of my phone (included the EFS partition which stores the IMEI numbers and data)
Could please you tell me :
-Which is the latest TWRP version compatible with my current I9505XUHPK2 bootloader and I9505XUHPK2 baseband ? is the 3.2.1-0 ok ?
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/
-Which Odin version should i use to flash this TWRP ? Is the lastest one v3.13.1 compatible ?
TWRP is not dependent on the bootloader version. I recommend always running the phone with the latest bootloader and modem and I believe PK2 is the latest.
You can use Odin version 3.07 or newer to flash TWRP.
A battery-friendly ROM is going to be stock. There may be others but I stuck with a de-bloated stock ROM for my s4.
Ive tried GPE ROM's in the past (maybe not that exact one, it was ages ago) and found issues, though they may have been fixed by now...
Personally these days i wouldn't go less than a Nougat (Android 7) ROM (not sure why youre wanting to downgrade to KitKat - much better fucntionality and app choices in your current ROM, and better again in later ROM's), at very least the stock official LineageOS 14.1 (updated nightly) on an S4, so much better than any stock ROM, no bloat for a start. Though going with a stock ROM, if its rooted you can remove the bloat at least.....
The latest modem&bootloader is technically XXUHQC1, though i have tested it for months, i eventually went back to XXUHPK2, so i would stick with that...
Note: You can always choose to upgrade/downgrade the modem&bootloader independently of the ROM (im using PK2 with Oreo (Android 8.1), the best source, in case you ever feel like trying an alternate, they are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/ref-galaxy-s4-i9505-modems-bootloaders-t3315987 Worth sticking in your bookmarks
Note 2: They often hide some previous versions under the Click To Show Content buttons....
Hi Stylemessiah.
Ok, so for the modem and the bootloader i'm already ready to go. Nice
Could you advice me 3 very battery friendly roms ?
Maybe Official Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly 7.1.2) as you told me ; JDCteam Optimized Lineage OS 13 (stable 6.0.1) ; ...
I was hoping that because KitKat is lightweight, With 2GB of RAM it could be responsive and with a good battery life. I know that kitkat is kind of security updates outdated...
I would like to use Opera Mini, Waze, and during hiking the GPS and the Camera (no video recording). But my main usage will be 2G idle during day, and airplane mode during night. Few sms, no calls (and no games by the way, so performance or costumization doesn't matter for me).
In the old times, with my S1 i9000 i could last 6days+ with a single charge (without using much the phone indeed ...)
Thanks

so no matter which firmware version youre in custom or stock is it safe to flash modem? my brother handed me an s4 9505 16gb variant, i manage to flash imperium from a dirty flash everything seems work until i decided to clear data then clean install everything and i have no signal right after boot no imei either
its my fault ive deleted my twrp back up
So I have what was originally a VZW 955U, flashed soon after I got it, to the unlocked 955U1 firmware using Prince's Odin and have been happy so far. Now with all the Oreo updates released except for the unlocked one, I'm wondering if I can just use prince's odin again to load the latest TMB Oreo firmware or need to do the whole engboot thing first? My current software is latest Nougat build for 955U1 and shows up as TMB//VZW.
Any thoughts?
No one? I remember reading on some of the earlier threads that if you flashed U1 first, you could then flash to the other carriers versions without the other steps but want to confirm. Don't want to deal with bootloops or softbricks.
I think you need the eng file ..but there is not oreo eng file..
Tried a lot of things, flashing tmobile oreo directly using modified and unmodified odin, trying to flash the latest Nougat builds from Tmobile using Prince Odin (the Dec one almost took and showed up as TMB/TMB/VZW but ultimately would not get updates) and then flashing back to the unlocked version but nothing worked, will likely have to do a full erase and reload the unlocked version. The eng boot file no longer works far as I can tell. Will just have to wait for the unlocked version to get updated. Sucks as this is a corporate phone and my firm has been pushing to get Oreo on all devices.
If someone has a recent guide on carrier switching the S8 , would appreciate it. Most guides here are from May of 2017 and I'm betting those files are too old to be compatible if you're on the latest Dec build for 950U1/955U1. At least doing a full reset and reflash of the 955U1 brought Wifi Calling which wasn't quite working right since I had just flashed over the 955U1 software over the stock verizon last year.
I think I'll just wait a few more weeks for the 955U1 Oreo to drop. Has to happen eventually right? Lol.
I believe the N910TUVU2EQI2 is latest (October 2017) firmware... I'd like to update my firmware but leave the custom Marshmallow version (ApocalypseX) I have on the phone. A TWRP-flashable of this update - onlly the firmware - would be great.
I don't know if you're still looking for them, but I think these are what you want?

I was looking for the same thing, but T3.
Oh my bad. I haven't flashed anything in a long time, and didn't realize TWRP and Odin flashing are 2 different things.
I have a Moto G4 Plus that has TWRP and was also rooted. I got a notification for a OTA security update today and I installed it. But after reboot my phone goes into TWRP.
I tried to restore my back up, but even after restoring the backup it still goes into TWRP. I think I need to reinstall the ROM? If so is the latest ROM available on xda so I can manually install it?
If you want to try to bypass the bootloop, here's a potential guide. I have not tried it so up to you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325
If you need to flash the latest stock ROM, the latest for G4/Plus (not G4 Play) is NPJS25.93-14-18 (with the B1:07 bootloader): https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 I have noted this firmware has been deployed to Brazil and EU/UK devices, may arrive to India devices and other regions but please verify before flashing. For US devices, they are on a different update stream, the latest firmware I noted for them is NPJ25.93-14.7-5 (Feb 2018 security patch) but the latest leaked US retail firmware is NPJ25.93-14.7 (Sept 2017) https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617945295
