Hello guys
I used the mini tools to root my phone.
Installed BLN kernel without any problem.
My phone is on I8190LUBAMA1 and CSC I8190LZTOAMA1
i was looking at samsung-updates.com and saw some other firmwares newer than my stock.
Is it safe to download and install the firmware I8190LUBAMG2 ? Is marked as an Mexican firmware(I live in Brazil).
Installing this new firmware, do i lose cmw, root?
Thanks
Sergio

Hi Sergio, it is safe to install the mentioned firmware, however, consider that you are going to lose CWM and root. Furthermore, as the firmware is Mexican, it contains local apps. So, if you are planning to move to this new firmware I suggest you to after do it install the cwm again through Odin and then a Custom Rom in order to get rooted again and remove those local apps. Regards
Reyesteban,
So if i install this firmware, it will update kernel and baseband, right?
Later, when i install a custom rom the kernel and baseband will be keeped from the mexican firmware?
The installation for the Mexican Firmware should be done via Odin? or i could use CMW?

The Firmware, as it is an official one, replaces kernel, baseband and even the boot screen and you just can install it through Odin. And you are right, when installing the custom rom, kernel and baseband will keep the same. However, boot, rom apps and look&feel are going to change...
If I update to the newest firmware from capt throwback do I have to flash a 4.4.4 rom. I'm s-off on 2.16.651.4 firmware and I dont want to mess with itson problems.
No. I'm on latest firmware but still on stock 4.4.2
If you update your firmware and don't go to updated ROM you are missing some features but shouldn't cause problems. It's when you update ROM without updating firmware that causes the real issues
Hello
Please help, I'm looking in the topic of the latest bootloader and modem for android 7.0 and so it can be installed via ODIN ..
I found something myself but it does not work and I do not know if it is the latest one, please help.
N920C
What variant do you have? I have the N920i. If I knew how to grab the latest bootloader/modem I'd totally do it for you.
I don't think the bootloader's changed since MM!?
Either way, download a rom from Samdroid. But be warned, to get root - you may need to unlock the bootloader in settings and flash twrp.
I need a file to install in ODIN
Hi I have a xt1803 G5S Plus, retgb and have recently unlocked bootloader and rooted my stock ROM which is NPSS26.116-26-14.
I have noticed there are higher version numbers available like NPS26.116-61. How do I go about having the latest stock ROM with twrp and root access? I'm guessing the stock ROMs are not flashable via twrp. Would I have to flash the latest stock ROM via ADB like it explained here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...lash-official-firmware-moto-g5s-plus-t3681018
and then unlock bootloader again, flash twrp etc like starting from scratch?
I honestly would not recommend flashing NPS26.116-61 to your device. Despite the version number being higher, that firmware is actually for a different region (I think NPS26.116-61 series firmwares are for India and Indonesia, whereas the NPS26.116-26 series is for EU/UK). If you flash that, you may find yourself ineligible for OTA updates at all, since your build does not match that expected by the stock OTA servers, and if there are incompatibilities between the firmwares - since they are for different regions - you may have issues with IMEI/SIM access.
If you wanted to update though, you'd have to follow the steps in that guide. Though I don't have a G5S Plus, you would have to remove TWRP/root through a stock ROM flash (no need to re-lock bootloader), then update via OTA, then flash TWRP and re-root. If you can find a stock ROM with the same firmware build as you have now, you may be able to preserve your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command from the stock ROM flash commands, but I would recommend you have a backup (e.g. TWRP backup) before flashing anything.
There's a copy of the NPSS26.116-26-18 stock ROM (June 2018 stock ROM) here, flash at your own risk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77025728&postcount=507 This build was released as an OTA update to retgb devices as reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/8w0c0c/june_patch_now_available_on_retgb/
Please some body tell what is firmware.
Can i flash it over a custom rom
Cause i have downloaded a latest firmware which is about "48 mb" in size.
Or
I may drop the idea of flashing the firmware.
