Does anyone have links to or know if it's possible to flash stock recovery back to galaxy s8 via twrp?
The reason being my monthly data allowance is almost used up so dont have enough to download full stock Rom to flash via Odin and I'm trading my phone in but the shop needs it to be completely stock before they can take it as a trade
Any help would be appreciated

I have to wonder why you are posting here, rather than in the Safestrap support thread where you would undoubtly get the benefit of more experience. You also haven't provided enough detail to make it clear what has happened.
Where is your backup stock firmware? Where ever you put it. It sounds like you didn't make one though, in which case the answer is that there isn't one. You can download the stock firmware from numerous sources.

Basically I attemped to flash my phone to a custom rom. Now the phone only boots into safestrap and will not accept any roms I am trying to flash at all.
I downloaded ODIN but I am having a heck of a time trying to find the proper files for flashing back to stock firmware. If anyone could provide some insight it would be greatly appreciated

I came to the conclusion that i need to flash N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.md via AP in odin, but I cant find a working download link anywhere
Hi there, I rooted this phone a while back and for some reason decided to also load a custom recovery (Pretty sure it's TWRP) even though I was using stock firmware and just wanted root. Now the phone's trying to do an OTA and it won't work of course because of my custom recovery. I was wondering if someone had a link to a stock recovery I could flash via ODIN/Heimdall? Thanks!
P.S. If you could include a step-by-step on what I need to do, that'd be nice. As far as I remember it's just putting the phone in Download Mode and flashing the .tar file via ODIN.
does anyone know if i can flash an tmobile rom to an at&t galaxy s5 and will it lock its self or any risk i just want tmobile since they update quicker and if you can find a rom that uses oden and does not wipe my phone storage i just want to use download booster and wifi calling without rooting Ty
1. Yes you can flash a t-mobile s5 rom on a at&t s5.
2. It won't help you get updates any faster because even though you would be running a t-mobile rom, at&t is still your provider and they still control the updates. And most rom's delete the stock ota updater anyways.
3. No rom uses Odin, they are all flashed from recovery.
4. You always wipe data before flashing a rom. Not wiping data is called dirty flashing and is a pretty sizable no no.
If you are new to rooting and flashing, always ask questions someone here will help.
WHEN EVER YOU FLASH A NEW ROM, 1. ALWAYS MAKE A BACK UP IN RECOVERY FIRST. 2. ALWAYS WIPE CACHE, DATA AND DAVID BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM.

The n910p is the Sprint model. You can update your firmware with Odin, just use the the sprint tar files.
If your not gonna use Sprint service, your first gonna want to make sure the sim is unlocked. Either with a paid service or some other way. There are threads at the Sprint forum for this! Search and read through them. Like GT tools. I am not very knowledgeable in this matter so ask I one of them threads.
Once you make sure your unlocked, if your using gsm service, you can pretty much flash any snapdragon Rom! All you need is to flash a Sprint kernel and correct data fix with the Rom you want.
Also Before you do anything, make a complete backup with twrp! Also make another one once you get unlocked.
The Rom you decide to install will determine which firmware you need before hand.
Once or if your already sim unlocked, and you pick a Rom out that you'd like to install, I can help.
Are you unlocked? Do you know how to use Odin? How to flash and use twrp?
What firmware are you currently on?

This thread has most of the sprint note 4 stock firmware files and Odin: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
Here are official USB drivers: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe
Here is official Twrp 3.02: https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar.html This is installed from Odin!
Uninstall any Samsung software you have on pc for best results.
Download and install USB drivers to pc.
Download and unzip Odin to pc.
Download twrp.
1st thing I recommend is making a full backup.
So let's install twrp!
1. So put phone in download mode. (Turn off then hold power+vol dwn+home) then it'll prompt you to push vol up.
2. Open odin as admin.
3. Plug phone in pc USB. Odin should recognize phone.
4. In Odin. Click options, unclick auto reboot. Only 'F Reset time's should be checked. Now go back to log tab.
5. Click the AP button. And load the twrp file.
6. Click start. Do not touch pc or phone. Let it be. When the log states all threads completed. Wait 1 minute just to be safe. Unplug phone. Pull out battery. Put back in.
7. Boot into recovery. Press and hold (pwr+vol up+home)
You should now have twrp.
Goto backup and backup all partitions. If your not worried about your installed stuff, you don't need to backup 'data'.
Main thing is (boot,system,efs,modem)
Save this backup somewhere safe.

Part 2. Info!
If your just looking to install stock Rom. All you need is Odin and the stock tar file. But you select auto reboot in Odin.
You only deselect auto reboot when flashing twrp, because it won't stick.
Also once you upgrade to ok1 there is no downgrading.
If your looking to instal custom roms, you should read what firmware they recommend to have before hand. But most of them should work on most current firmware. It just depends.
In general this is what you'll do.
1. Odin the stock firmware you want. Let it boot.
2. Odin twrp.
3. Once you have twrp, flash any Rom you want for your phone.
4. Use a Sprint kernel (Ram) and data fix for international roms.
Edit. Once you upgrade your firmware, it's a good idea to make another backup of it. Especially the EFS.
