[Q] stock rom seen as custom?

Hi,
I have no idea how to explain this.
I downloaded all stock ROM from sammobile (linked to my operator BOUYGUES TELECOM=> BOG).
4.1.1 => I can load but seen as custom ROM ! Android displays "modified". Download mode displays "Custom / Custom"!
4.1.2 => I can't download; ODIN fails. Recovery mode is lost
4.3 => I can dowload. It is seen as OFFICIAL
After attempt to install 4.1.2 (which fails) then it's not possible anymore to install 4.1.1.
I have to deploy first 4.3, then only I can deploy 4.1.1 (!!!!)
several questions in my head:
1) Why is 4.1.1 seen as custom? (note that 4.1.1 is not available from samsung-updates.com, only from sammobile maybe there is a elation ship, custom ROm from sammobile??)
2) Why can't I deploy 4.1.2?
3) Why do I have to deploy 4.3 before I can deploy 4.1.1?? (I mean after an attempt of 4.2 which brickes the S3)
I can't keep 4.3 because of the very well know issues with 4.3/S3, and can't deploy 4.2 (while when I bought the phone it was coming with 4.2!!)
I'm just lost...
At least I could be very happy with 4.1.1 but can I do somethign so it shows OFFICIAL?
thanks,
Rod
PS: I have a S3 i9305 4G
I used "triangle away" and now it says "custom/official" instead of "custom/custom". Device is still "modified" so no kies etc

If you put 4.3 on then that's it without triggering knox

try firmwares from another countries that are not from one specific operator....
for example: i'm currently using firmware from another operator then the one i got my subscription...funny fact is that works better(no extra apps) and no problems what so ever.
after that root and try to use triangle away again...then install your operator firmware(it shouldn't modify to custom).....
but what for do you want to be official instead of custom? wanna sell it ? if not do you use KIES that often? i never ever used it

Update to New... Im on N910T...ANJ7

I wanted to update to the new release.. I have root and TWRP on my Note... I ovi cannot download the update on my phone.. What are the steps in getting the download and to update with a Note that is root and flashed recovery?
Sorry I did try to look for a thread before posting this... I guess Im asking can I just download it and update or not because im rooted and have TWRP??? Please help

You need to odin back to your stock current baseband to update, just follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733

I am currently on ANJ7 and I have been ignoring the system update.
Is the update worth it? Does it bring any fixes or features (other than DTIgnite) that you would consider worthwhile?

true maybe ill just wait for lollipop

Only noticeable difference for me is when pressing the recent app hard key, it's a bit faster on NK4

Another firmware update, already?

If I update will I still be able to root?

when i got my note 4 i was on anj7 and i had rooted and everything before i realized i need to be on NK4 \ so i just odined the full NK4 file back to stock, including bootloader. and then rooted and twrp from there

The odin firmware would not affect knox only the deodexed one will but in order to flash the deodexed version you first have to get the lollipop bootloader by flashing the odin version or look around the forum for the bootloader the only way to enjoy lollipop update is by a custom rom so I would worry about knox.lol

I solved the battery drain i was having. Did a fresh clean install of the straight deodexed stock from here, and then for good measure because I had read something about it, I froze the 2 software update and the fw upgrade app in Titanium Backup. Now the standby drain is gone! I'm sure I could get the same results on Candypop now [emoji106]

Got it off of SamMobile last night.. Installed today and it runs SMOOTH! Smoother than the Korean one I had from last month

thank you for your work. I downloaded the Deodexed version but root is unavailable as it states (rooted). Did i miss a step or something? I flashed it with TWRSP and checked with root checker "it says no root.

I had this exact problem with SM-G890A on 6.0.1. I flashed a stock firmware, and I had no mobile network, sim card wasn't detected, etc. The problem was that my device had the most recent update (from March). I am not an expert, but I believe this update makes it harder for devices to be susceptible to flashes (hence "extra security"). To fix this problem, after flashing a stock firmware, I put my phone in recovery mode (volume up, power, and home) and downloaded ADP, and from there, I was able to download each update after my stock firmware until I reached the update that I was on before I ever flashed. I hope that makes some sense. There is a great post on here with the updates available for download and instructions on how to use ADP. I wish I still had the link, but try searching the updated version that you should be on. Whenever I finished the last update and my phone restarted, I restarted it again in recovery mode and cleared the partition cache. Restarted it again and VIOLA, I finally had service. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Sorry, I am not great at explaining things. I hope you can resolve this. [email protected]

Fixed and Downgraded
I had this same issue. I was able to fix it by first upgrading back to 7.0 as mentioned above, and then flashing ONLY the BL and AP files of the 6.0.1 firmware using Odin. Worked for me.

U need flash to android 6.0.1 build Pk8.

Hey I had the same problem as you and I was panicking. I downgraded to 6.0.1 from 7.0 final version but the SIM/IMEI/Broadband/anything phone related was broken. What happened was the final build of 7.0 upgrades the security of the SIM/IMEI/Broadband and so if you flash any other firmware, it won't work with the newer security and it'll remain unknown. To fix this, you have to upgrade to 7.0 final build again. Just adb sideload all the way back to 7.0 final QD1 and your SIM/IMEI should activate again. I guess ATT/Samsung is preventing us from downgrading just like Apple

Flash the Nougat Odin package.

[q] *how to update rooted note 5 from mm to nougat?*

Peace All...
I am currently on Minotauras ROM (MM) and would like to update my Note 5 920G to the latest Nougat firmware---so I can download a Nougat custom ROM (i know one is not dependent on the other, but I was always taught that if the base changes, its best to update the firmware to avoid any potential problems). However, I'm unclear as to what steps should be taken to update the firmware--I'm relatively new to SamSung devices. I know Odin is the update utility, but unclear whether I should first flash a "stock" Marshmallow Recovery and stock ROM--then take OTA...or can I just flash the Nougat firmware and then flash TWRP? What happens to my data & apps? Will all settings be erased?
Please advise.....

1)You are on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 right as i guess so? Then you have MM bootloader(But if you are on 5.0.1 lollipop bootloader then you need atleast upgrade you bootloader to 6.0.1, you can find MM bootloaders at Samsung galaxy note 5 android development thread anywhere mostly at Dr.ketan Rom N8 S8+ port/You can also find Nougat bootloaders there only)
2)Don't worry then if you want to upgrade to any custom nougat rom then you can simply download prefer one and install through TWRP as you installed Minotorus Rom(Assuming You are on Marshmallow Bootloader and Oem unlocking/Usb debugging options are enabled from Developers option)
3)Or if you want to update your stock firmware to official Nougat for updated model and bootloader after that want to try Custom nougat rom, then you can download official Stock 7.0 firmware for your device N920G and specific country if available from websites like sammobile.com or samsungupdates.com etc (I am unknown about your country afaik samsung released 7.0 for N920G for some specific countries atm, like for asian countries not for latin american countries)
4)Further Odin flashing guides you can find also here within forum only, if you have any query related to odin flashing you can ask me i will provide you Odin flashing guide also(Kindly don't forget to enable Oem unlocking and Usb debugging option from developers option before flashing anything using Odin or you may brick your device)
5)You can also flash official stock 6.0.1 and update through OTA to 7.0 but above mentioned method is easy to directly update to nougat(Only if official Stock 7.0 nougat firmware available for your device model no and country)
6)While updating to stock firmware using odin, all your user data stored on internal storage will be lost(If you directly flash custom nougat rom on minotorus rom then user data stored on internal storage will be there) so i will suggest you take backup of your current data

Peace!!
First off--THANK YOU DroidHackeR for your response. I was out of town so I coulnt respond sooner. But Yes...I'm on MM 6.01 and I would prefer to upgrade to the offical 7.0 firmware. My model number is 920G, which I think is an International model.I am in the Unite States and using Tmobile's bands. I looked on sammobile and saw that they did have the official firmware (but for Bangladesh, India--I didnt see anything that said International...and thats where I kinda got stuck, cause I dont know if that firmware would be compatible). With that being said--I guess my best option would be to flash an official stock 6.01 firmware and then take the update? I have OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled.
Could you please walk me through flashing via Odin? Like where would I find the stock 6.01 firmware? Sammobile as well? I know I will loose my data..I've backed up most of my files.
Thank you again for help!

Well you can always flash the MM firmware in odin then take the OTA but ive always just flashed the new firmware via odin just because it easy.
And flashing firmware via odin will not wipe your device unless you change your CSC.ive used odin literally 100s of time across numerous devices over the years and it never has wiped my device...common misconception for some reason.
But of course first you need to find the correct firmware for your device on sammobile.
Then once downloaded un zip it and load the tar in the AP slot in odin.
Occasionally a factory reset is needed for the device to boot and that will wipe your storage.
There are tons of tutorials on how to use odin...hit that search button, use Google or even hit you tube for videos (which are useful if your a total n00b since you can see how it runs so no surprises).
If you do it once after that it will seem so easy.

Hi,
Thanks for your inputs. I tried same steps for my N9208 dual SIM with stock 6.0.1 firmware from sammobile.
After Odin flash, boots to stock recovery and throws dm-verify check failed error.
Please share your suggestions.

Well.. I searched YouTube video tutorials, GooGle searched and went to SamFirmware and downloaded a 6.01 stock firmware. However, the file I downloaded was for Bangladesh (I have a 920G model) and it failed when trying to flash it via Odin. So I downloaded another 6.01 firmware--this time for Brazil (as all tutorials have stated that as long as the model number is the same its ok to flash). At first the green loading bar was working and it got all the way through to radio image and then it failed---but now my system has been wiped and now my phone is bricked. Do you or any other member know of a 920G 6.01 firmware that is compatible for the USA? It appears the radios are not compatible causing it to FAIL in flashing it in Odin.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

1)Did you try to put 4files firmware that comes with BL,AP,Modem,CL separately?
2)As You can get into download mode successfully kindly install samsung smartswitch on your phone>connect your device to pc while in download mode>open smartswitch>select emergency software recovery so that it will recognise your device as well as actual latest firmware for your device to be installed
3)If smartswitch doesn't help anymore, try with full firmware(4 files firmwate of any of Latin American countries as you stated for USA, may be the country's that lies near to you by region) but this time you need to uninstall smartswitch or Samsung kies in case installed as it could possibly mess up with Odin flashing

Thank you for ur response. This is my first SamSung phone---I came from HTC and was familiar with their process of rooting and updating (which was a pain)--but I'm totally unfamiliar with Odin.
When you say put the files in separately---i'm not sure what you mean, cause when I extract the Update zip, I only get a a tar file---should I unzip in a folder?
Thanks again!!!
