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
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
enjoy

Thanks a ton!!!!
So since the firmware updates are not 'flashable' yet via TWRP, am I right in assuming that one can only update one's firmware if one goes back to stock?? I know this will change but trying to understand the current options for flashing/installing firmware updates for the P9Plus (rooted), thanks
just flash original recovery over twrp than update as normal, then flash twrp/root after that.
thanks, any idea where to get original recovery?
I found in twrp topic or you can find in Rayglobe tool

That's never happened to me before. Did you flash an incorrect model bootloader?
What model Note 8 do you have & exactly what files did you flash? I'm confused by your post, did you get it working or did you still need help to get it working?
And you should change the thread title. TWRP has nothing to do with your sensors not working.

Not without more info. What all exactly did you flash before your sensors stopped working?

What bootloader were you on before? Were you on Nougat or Oreo before flashing Weta? What version Weta rom did you flash & did you flash Weta bootloader & modem update?
I've been using Weta rom for a long time & never had this issue so I still think it's a bootloader issue or a coincidence that your phone's hardware failed.

Since you won't say what Weta version you flashed & you didn't flash Weta bootloader update, I'm assuming you flashed Oreo version of Weta as Weta rom itself doesn't include bootloader & modem.
Since you won't give more details on what you flashed exactly I don't have a clue on what you should do or if it is a bootloader issue. Maybe kernel related I don't know.
So at this point all I can suggest is that if you are on BRA8 now, flash entire BRA8 or BRB2 firmware in Odin, BL, CP, AP, & CSC. Or at the least flash BL & CP.

Not if you flash only BL & CP. But those won't flash kernel. If you still have the issue, trying flashing a custom kernel if you don't want to loose TWRP & reinstall.
First off, I feel there would be many more reports of this with either TWRP or Weta Mod if the issue lay there with either of them.
I have used both in the past and have always worked fine for me.
Did you follow the flashing instructions letter by letter?
Have you got the latest TWRP that works with Oreo?
Which I believe you need to flash the older version before flashing the newer TWRP via TWRP with the iso.image?
I would just flash the full stock image via Odin like others have suggested. If the phone then works fine, as it should after this, try again but just take your time doing it.
I recently made an insurance claim for my phone and had to send my unlocked firmware note 8 back. Problem I'm having now is, I cant get the new one on an unlocked firmware. I keep getting errors in all the Odins I have. I dont know much about the v4 bootloader or when it was locked. I was able to gi back to Nougat on my old phone and then upgrade back oreo. That was in August though. Any help would be appreciated. I cant stand this ATT ****!

You can only flash the same bootloader v4 firmwares or higher from now on. No downgrading possible to bootloader v3 or below!
Can't even go back to Nougat (that was on bootloader v3 and below)!
If you are just need the unbranded firmwares look for the ones with the bootloader v4.
Eg N950U(U1)SQS"4"CRH1. The 4 in "" is your bootloader version.
If you want to root or go back to nougat then you'll need to talk to ATT for another phone that's on bootloader v3 or below.

Could you possibly link me the the firmware I do need? I would really appreciate as I'm stuck on this current firmware. I've looked and looked. I'm just unable to find the right firmware. I suppose it's possible I'm not getting the right one. Idk.

The easiest is to use SamFirm to download the firmware. Then use modified ODIN 3.13.1 to flash it.
