I had soft-bricked a j120 i figured i could find the firmware and flash it using Odin but for the life of me I can't find any sort of firmware help.
you need to flash the phone using odin on a real three-factor firmware, install twrp, and later you can update twrp and install what you want

Hey guys,
I installed xtrestolite on my G900F and changed the bootloader and modem of my device before installing it. First problem i had was with CSC. It is a single CSC and i couldn't install my countries CSC on it. That's why i went back to stock. I installed Kit Kat firmware that i downloaded from sammobile and then changed CSC to my countries CSC. Then i updated firmware to lollipop using Kies3. But installing stock rom didn't change bootloader version or modem version. Now i have kitkat bootloader version, kitkat baseband version and lollipop firmware version all different and i want to them all to be the same(latest lollipop). Is there any way to do this without downloading stock rom from sammobile again ? And if not, then can i just put the tar.md5 file that i will download from sammobile in bootloader, pda and CP at the same time and install with odin ?
Thanks in advance !
You do not need to re-download or re-install your ROM. You need to download your bootloader and radio from somewhere, then flash those with ODIN.
Just an FYI, the modem doesn't always like to stick so you may need to flash (auto-reboot disabled), pull the battery after odin says "success", then flash again immediately.

Hey thanks for the tip ! I just downloaded stock firmware but i don't know how to extract bootloader and modem from tar.md5 file and then make them odin flashable. I uploaded image with all the files that are in my tar.md5 file. What of these are for bootloader and what for modem and how do i make them odin flashable later ?
Thanks in advance
So I have a galaxys s5 g900f which i cleared it from a rom i used before and got it back to the original form of it. Got the .tar.md5 file of the official galaxy software from sammobile and installed it with odin. After that I wanted to root my phone again and stick with the official software. I tried to do that by the way I always used to with CF-Auto-Root using Odin once more and after downloading the file my phone was normally rebooting to recovery but it actually got stuck there without doing anything. Tried to flash twrp too but still nothing. The only thing i can flash at the time is the official software. Anyone had this issue before and can help? Thanks in advance
Flash the stock ROM again and get your phone back up and working properly
Then use this guide to root / twrp

Hi,
I have searched these forums and i am surprised to see that i am possibly the only one with this issue. I have previously rooted and flashed custom roms on my note 3 (SM-N9005) without issue.
The last flash was back to stock 5.0. Now when i try to flash recovery with Odin it does pass then i reboot manually into recovery and i either get boot error odin mode or it just reboots. When i flash a stock firmware the phone does not wipe even if wipe partition in odin is ticked.
There are a few roms i'd love to try out but i'm stuck on the current stock as i cannot flash recovery on my device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It looks like you flashed something wrong which mada all these problems
Try to use kingroot or any other app for rooting other than the traditional method
Root it and use rashr flash tool from play store to install recovery
Hello,
My Note 4 is rooted , emotion nightly with twrp, using stock rom samsung marshmallow
today I received a software update for the marshmallow firmware.
the update is a zip file
I tried to flash the update using twrp, but it failed. As I understood twrp can't flash zip files, only tar
I tried to flash the update using odin, but it failed. is this the same with odin?
maybe I am doing something wrong
is there by any chance a possiblity to flash the update or do I need to install the complete new stock firmware ?
thanks in advance, kind regards, coinco
How did you recieved the update ?
If you downloaded it from sammobile
Then first extract the zip file , if you get an .tar file , only then you can flash it with odin .
You simply cant flash an official update through any unofficial software , so dont try to flash it in custom recovery .

Thank you, for your answer,
I received the update, through (F) OTA,
so as I understand correctly, it will not be possible to flash the file.
It will be no problem , I will flash the original new firmware.
Hi I'm trying to use flashfire to flash the ota update that I was able to download but flashfire did not find it or anything. I had to go to the settings flash firmware package and then when I found it, it was corrupted and I dont know how to fix it. Might be corrupted as half bit was download when I had xposes then I uninstalled it so I could use flashfire then i restarted the download for the the update.
Now the question is how do I redownload the update?
I have tried to flash stock firmware with flash fire on my s7e a few weeks ago = soft brick (bootloop on Samsung logo, no more custom recovery and internal storage deleted) . Hopefully Odin mode (download mode) was working. Use Odin not flashfire, I promise it's better , I probably do something wrong but it's definitely better to use Odin
