hello there xda users
i have recently bricked my phone and managed to reflash the firmware, but, i had to add the bootloader file with the split firmware package.
what i want to do is install the latest XXLD3 firmware on top of the current s5830ixxkk5/gingerbread.xxlk1 firmware package but im worried because i am thinking that the bootloader file has to be the same as the firmware if you know what i mean. can i install the xxld3 on the xxkk5 bootloader without bricking my phone again? any help would be appreciated. thanks

First of all this development section......
for queries u should have gone to other thread.......
As far as flash is concerned ....... i think u can... i am not pretty much sure but i think so.
but if u need a bootloader file go to unbrick tutorial of mine and download the package for unbrick... take the bootloader file from there..... its from xxld

Use ODIN flash YOUR stock rom csc/pda/modem to wait till it boots, after that go to download mode again and just flash pda of XXLD3 using ODIN again. For flashing you dont need the bootloader use ODIN 1.84. I change my WHLA1 to XXLA2 just by flashing the pda of xxla2
And by the way remember what feetsonfire said, this queries need to be on general section not in development

Hi all, been a long while since I visit this forum, I am still on the XXJPY firmware and now want to update to the new one. Here is the problem:
I know I need to update the bootloader in order to do this; I know if i don't, I will lose my phone. I know there are two types of ROM one with bootloader one without. If i am going to update to XWJW5, where should I get the bootloader from? will ROM downloaded from Sammobile firmware page included the gingerbread bootloader?
or any other similar post had been posted before that can recommend me to read?
Thank you
Update: I have just extracted the firmware downloaded from SamMobile, and there are two files:
boot.bin
sbl.bin
does this mean it included the new bootloader? and i sould be good to go to reflash my phone as if there was no bootloader changed?
Follow the instructions in INSANITY rom thread there is a full flashing guide.u dont have to flash the insanity rom just follow the ODIN guide on how to flash and upgrade bootloader.
If u flash stock firmware tick bootloader update in ODIN..
But read the guide,before flashing.
Good flash;-)
Hey guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S5 back in April and now I am selling it so that I can purchase the LG G3. The problem is I'm trying to flash back to stock with Odin and it won't work. I downloaded the stock firmware from Sammobile and loaded it into Odin, put my phone in download mode and hit start and it says "fail." I can't get it to flash. I'm rooted but I haven't installed a recovery or custom rom. Any guidance would really help. I have no idea why I'm getting fail errors.

I'm rooted but I haven't installed a recovery or custom rom. I used the Supersu update by chainfire to disable knox. I remember on previous Galaxy S versions that if you took the OTA update it prevented you from flashing custom roms of flashing back to stock. But I haven't taken an OTA update or anything so I can't figure out why it keeps saying fail? Do you think I need to re-enable knox? If so, can I do that in Supersu? Or is there another problem? Any guidance would really help.

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THE BL FILE as our bootloader is still locked and it will just fail.
just flash the other 3 files

Download "XperiFirm", run it and select your device. Then choose an older version and download it
Then use the latest Flashtool and flash the .ftf to your device!
You should download the oldest available firmware in order for the root process to work properly ->(D5803_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_GLOBAL.ftf)

You cant flash a firmware with a lower bootloader number. The fifth digit from the right is the bl version. You are trying to flash a firmware with bl version 3 over you're current version 4 so just flash a firmware with version 4 and you should be good.

thanks mate. problem is every firmware im downloading right now always corrupt. and very slow. but thanks anyway for the help and knowledge.
thanks mate i changed pc and got a successful download.
No problem glad you got it worked out.
Never ever try to downgrade your bootloader to go to an older rom by the way. I tried it and had to replace my phones motherboard.just fyi
