OK, so coming from the oneplus 3t, we had to flash the firmware (just a flashable zip that contained ONLY the modem/and firmware, not the system or kernel or anything else). Why can't we do that with this phone? Why do we have to constantly flash the whole OOS ROM?

ODIN firmware vs. clean wipe & ROM flash... what's the difference?
I realize the firmware flash will put the modem on the phone also (most ROM's won't).
But is there anything else an ODIN firmware flash will do that a simple clean wipe/format and ROM flash won't do to fix random issues?
Assuming the firmware was stock rooted firmware and the ROM was stock rooted ROM.
Nooobody?!
Can't think of anything off the top of my head. It'll install the default recovery and whatever modem, beyond that I can't think of anything. Boot loader can be changed as well depending on the image.
ODIN might also reset some low level values like proximity sensor values, etc. I really don't know for sure though.

It really depends what's in the odin package. Some con come with bootloaders, modems, stock 3e recovery. Some odin packages will not have bootloaders in them. A will almost always flash the boot.img, system, and apps. It won't have the modem, recovery, or bootlader. At least on the GS3 or GS4. On the Captivate the recovery was included with kernels and roms...so you flashed a new recovery with every rom.
I have not been able to find the latest Canadian Rom ( n910w8vls1dpk1 November 2016) in a twrp flashable zip.
Anyone have a link to one?
You mean a stock rom? Those are packaged in tar files and can only be flashed through Odin in Windows or Heimdall in Linux. TWRP flashes custom roms which are packaged in zip files.
I highly recommend a custom rom, such as LineageOS, which you can find in my signature under "trlte".
Hi,
Having a hard time finding the latest (assume 21s?) firmware files i can flash. I know theres a full stock flashable zip but afaik I can't flash the bits I need from that. Anyone got the relevant files?

There is not big rom on X727 after firmware 5.8.019s, just OTA update. If you are on Locked bootloader / Stock Recovery you can download the update 21s and flash it via Update App.... Or rename de ota file to "update.zip" and flash it on Stock Recovery (Power + VOLUME +).
If you want a 21S or 23s complete Rom, you must to unlock bootloader and flash Custom recovery, then you can flash a 21s like VillarLeg o Mauro v2.2 23s... Good luck!
Can we get someone to make recovery flashable zips to update the radio/modem img and the vendor img for custom roms.
