Can anybody explain to me or point me in the right direction to upgrade my firmware to EMUI5? I can't figure it out and it's killing me. I'm currently running a melticulus RR install which has recently started playing up so I want to upgrade to a 7.0 ROM and to do that, I apparently need to upgrade my firmware to EMUI5
Thanks
Use firmware finder

Hello,
Yes man you need to do that..
I'm on EliteRom by HassanMirza and as you came from RR MM 6.0.1 whit Meticulus Recovery TWRP-3.0.2.0-hi6250-v4.zip.
So i hope you've done your Dump backup+Nandroid backup as explained as well.
Starting from here u need to follow steps in the Meticulus site in the FAQ section of TWRP download page.
Well done.. now flash the Stock Recovery and let it upgrade..
Enjoy

What MM is ?
I read about it and it's says that I downgrade the same way I update ,that's right?
All files needed to downgrade back to Marshmallow are here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-mtc20l-factory-b7864fdb.zip
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a credible guide to help me downgrade from 7.0 to one version earlier.
I think it was 6.0 ? Or 6.0.1.
I'm experiencing troubles with microphone through Bluetooth and analog, and it started happening only after I updated the version.
The model is XT1642.
Thanks.

Unlock bootloader, root, flash TWRP, flash 6.0.1 custom roms with 6.0.1 Gapps OR modded stock 6.0.1 like LotusRom without Gapps. N bootloader and radio are backward compatible with 6.0.1 ROMs. If u fastboot flash stock 6.0.1 then u can't jump forward to N ROMs without fastboot flash stock N rom again first as M bootloader and radio won't work with N roms
Hello XDA!
I've rooted my phone (the J5) about a week ago after finally deciding it might just help me to some extent.
Well, then I realized I'm still on Android 6.0 and updating obviously doesn't work.
This brings up multiple questions for me:
Is there any way to get the official update?
OR do I have to download it myself and flash it on?
Can I flash Android 7.1 on it without bricking the phone or losing all data?
Can I flash any firmware (or firmware updates) without losing any data?
If anyone could answer my questions, I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

You can't update your phone OTA whule it's rooted. If you want the new 7.1.1 stock you must flash it manualy over odin. If your phone is on stock 6.0.1 the manual flash will not erase any of your data or apps. If you are on a custom rom then it wil erase data. When you install nougat it will be unrooted and with stock recovery.

I understand that, but will it brick the phone or erase the data? The J5 is certainly not made for Android N.

I've used the CF AutoRoot package for the root. Does CF-AR install a custom ROM?
Thanks for the answers.

What version of the J5 2016 do you have? Only install 7.1.1 manualy on the J510FN.
A custom ROM is a software installed over a custom recovery that is totaly different from the stock rom.

Alright, I've got a J500FN, so the dream of Android N is gone.
I didn't use a custom recovery, I used Samsung's Download mode.
This is it. Thanks for your help, ya'll. I'm gonna upgrade to 6.0.1 manually now.

There is no official Nougat for your device, so don't ever try to install tge J510FN version ?????
But there is a ported stock nougat rom for your device on the J5 2015 ROMs section
Good evening, I have some questions taking into account that I am not an expert.
Beginning I own a sm-j730f/ds version Android 7.0 rooted by Magisk, 17.1 stock rom for Egypt:
1-Is it possible to update to Android 8.1 stock ROM for UAE
2. Are there any special steps to update or the normal way is enough by Odin
3-Does root with magisk work without twrp method
And thanks in advance.
Ok......
good afternoon friend you can help me .. so I wanted the back-up of j7 pro .70 twrp without root because I was upgrade to version 8.1 and to have several errors and I can not go back to version 7.0 only by backup
My dear friend, I am sorry unfortunately I can not help, because my device contains root magisk plus that TWRP does not work on my device.
Question why you want to return to Android 7.0. Have you encountered a problem with the new update?
Hello guys,
I have a S8+ from T-Mobile currently with DRL5 firmware. Updated from recovery mode " Install update from SD", now I don't know how to upgrade to DRL7 ( 2nd Pie beta) . I've been looking and everything I found is CRL1 to DTL7 ..... How can I install DRL7 if currently running DRL5?? Can I upgrade from DRL5 to DRL7? Is that possible??
Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks guys!!
Flash to CRK1 then upgrade to DRL7.
You cannot go straight to DRL7 from DRL5. You must flash back using modded Odin first to CRK1.
