Firmware is 50mb zip file . the files are taken from fastboot rom and zip is made.
These files updates ur hidden partition like modem, bootloader, firmware of cam, audio, wifi, blueooth.
U dont need to flash firmware with every rom. It is flashed only once and stored permanantly in those partition. Format and wipe doesnt erase it.
Flash Only if u r officially unlocked bootloader by official method.
Flash only global file. Other one is china.

No rules. U can flash firmware any time . Its stored in hidden permanent partition.
Roms , gapps and kernels are flashed in system ,data , cache and dalvik and boot partition. Which can be erased or formatted using factory reset command or format command.

The twrp say this because you clean system folder. To fix it, you need just download The official samsung rom.zip, put it in your sd card, and install normally with twrp.
PIT

Thanks alot folks for your help i am now back on 4.4.2 kitkat but i lost everything. I can't thank you enough peeps on here.
Good stuff
Good idea to make a backup in TWRP before flashing anything custom next time, then you can always restore if you break it again

I wouldnt flash firmware that "might" work on your device or is build for another rom.... you should try reinstalling drivers and flash stock rom thru odin, if it wont work try twrp 3.0.0 if it detects your storage....

Go into TWRP, choose wipe, then choose the advanced wipe option. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik. Make sure you have a ROM to flash after you do so, this will remove the operating system
Has this guy solved? Since he can boot into twrp where it should be the problem? I ve seen some posts and some step is missing... if twrp says 0mb storage, are u sure u selected the right storage?
thanks for helping.
TWRP recently couldn't access any storage on device and recently not coming up by pressing power + volume up + home

Hello, today i downloaded the latest stable KK rom, and the China miui8 to do some tests in the new China rom, but couldnt flash because there was a error of "cant find flash_all, flash_except_storage, or even flash_except_data_storage. Bats. So i looked into the zip and there was no bats inside the folder.
I know i can simply try to flash via TWRP, but if i do that can i be able to reflash 4.4 rom via TWRP too if i want to come back? Last time i flashedLP bootloader , it wouldnt let me come back via recovery to KK bootloader. Only via miflash. Please give me some clarification if any of you already tried it! :laugh:
Maybe you are using the wrong rom update package. The recovery rom is different from fastboot rom. If you are trying to flash this "miui_HM2XWC_6.6.23_a0619b1eb0_4.4" package then this is for recovery procedure only. You should download the fastboot (rom) version.

I downloaded both ones, LP rom for recovery and about 3 KK rom for fastboot(miflash). But the fastboot ones are missing the bat files, so i cant flash.
If you have any full download link please share xD

We need to know your model #. (Ex. 2014817 in my case) because flashing wrong model # of rom will give you problems with (service provider) radio signals.

Hello guys I need a little help here in every time I flash marshmallow rom or nougat rom I got bootloop so after googling for an answer I found that the solution is by changing or updating the baseband version so I need you guys to give me a link for a modern baseband version and tech me how to flash the baseband version.
I know I am asking too much but I really love flashing those roms so please help me.
My baseband version is SM-G7102XXUBOE1
I am now using CM12.1
And I tried to flash stock firmware then flashing those roms but still Getting a bootloop.
Note: all lollipop roms work good (except blisspop Rom when I flash it I got bootloop so I extracted the cm12.1 boot.img then I flashed it so blisspop rom booted but Wifi, hotspot and ril didn't work.
Revert to stock ROM using Odin (use NAND erase all option). Then back to install CM13.

1.download NK1 firmwire from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/stock-firmware-grand-2-google-drive-t2849501
2.Extract zip to get a .tar file
3.Download Odin.
4.Select AP and click on the .tar file you extracted
5.Factory format the phone,then take out battery for 8 sec(not so necessary ).Then switch off grand 2.Then hold vokume down+power button and click volume up when asked for confirmation
6.Attach the phone to PC and click on flash
7.After finishing,turn on mobile,complete first setup in stock ROM then install TWRP recovery on the device and install any ROMs. Your problem won't occur again
I have the same problem but i can still run my phone on boot but after some few seconds, it will reboot and then goes back to lock screen and then does it again. I flashed Ressurection Remix for Grand 2 btw

ignore what the guy said, he's clueless. you want to make sure you are on MM bootloader (unofficially unlocked from a android marshmellow official ROM), install the latest official TWRP (you can do it through ZCX, just flash the recovery image like you flash a ROM, just change it to flash recovery in TWRP), and download firmware without emmc_appsboot.mbn (i'm sure you can find it on XDA). if you flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn you will brick your device. you might have issues with encryption, so if you do, you just wanna wipe data. after that flash in the order you said above - firmware, ROM, gapps and then reboot.

After flashing Then u can use ur unlocking and zcx method. And update to latest twrp official 3.2.3
Flash only rom and gapps using latest twrp 3.2.3
No need to flash any firmware after that. Coz u r on latest firmware already..

Lol........:laugh: u r one true masterpiece.
Are u pretending dumb or r u truly one.. I already explained u . still u prefer to listen to noobs.
U dont need firmware if u flashed and come from 10.2 fastboot rom.
Firmware is nothing different but it is extracted from miui fastboot rom itself.
May God bless ur soul..
You don't even need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom ROMs anymore... Forget about bootloader stuff. But you will need an updated recovery... Flash latest twrp in twrp then you should be able to do custom roms. Latest havac for pie is the best from my experience. You'll need the latest firmware for it though
