I installed Dr.Ketan's ROM (CVDD) and wanted to try Beyond (CVD2) but the stock CVD2 gets stuck on ODIN (super when AP only and idfw if i also select the Bootloader)
I flashed CVDD, magisk pathed CVDD and twrp with no issue. I also tried flashing and old Android 11 firmware, but it also gets stuck. Tried with many versions of Odin, patched or not.
I read that even downgrading to A11 is possible and doesn't need any special steps, you just flash old firmware. Why mine refuses to flash anything other than the latest?
Thanks in advance for any help.
@palamosteliaro
The CVDD firmware for the Exynos Samsung Galaxy S21 series increments the underlying bootloader version to v5. As a result, you can't flash an older firmware with a lower bootloader version anymore.
Regarding downgrading to Android 11, the final Android 11 firmware (AUJ7 for most regions) featured bootloader version v3. The first stable Android 12 build (BUK8) also landed with the v3 bootloader, hence you could perform a downgrade. Nonetheless, a subsequent update (BULF) bumped the bootloader version to v4 and closed the downgrade path.
Oh I see. So its expected behavior then, that was my main concern. I think I know the answer, but you cant downgrade the bootloader version in anyway right?
Yes, there's no known way to do so.

Hello,
I wanted to install a ROM 5.1.1
For that, I first wanted to upgrade my existing FW to last, ie the WW-11.4.1.29.
So I wanted to flash the ROM Stock Asus from my Recovery 6.0.5.0
But the install does not happen.
He said that the latter is intended for K000C, while I have a TF701T.
At a minimum, I do not want to flash the ROM.
Just have the latest firmware.
Currently, the bootloader tells me I am WW_epad-10.26.1.18-20131217
Thank you in advance for your assistance
Just flash this as long as you have the tf701 to update the boot loader and make sure you have the correct US or WW version... http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...overy-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3121989 scroll down to where you see FLASHABLE ZIPS INCLUDING LATEST BOOTLOADER FOR WW & US SKUs
Many Many thanks
Hello,
I'd like to know what the latest firmware of the XT1096 is so I can make sure the phone is running the most recent Verizon firmware and radios.
Here is the info for the device I have which is running crdroid 6.0.1.
bootloader version 6011
baseband MSM8974BP_4235210.110.09.13R
I think it had LP5.0 before sunshining, but I don't remember.
In any case, does anybody know what the latest firmware is (5.1 222.21.39, I think) and the best way to update it (hopefully fastboot)?
Also, would flashing the latest firmware lock the bootloader?
I searched this forum, but didn't find was I was looking for.
Thanks!

I believe that the mikeoswego's ROM in the link below is based on the latest VZW 5.1 ROM:

You will not relock your bootloader by flashing any ROM.

The latest is probably this one here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ow8igZRL!Z7vmN8GOpez2bVMYDvEKkg!h9FWBQha
5.1 LPE23.32-25-5
The flashing commands for the full firmware are contained in the included flashfile.xml file. You need an unlocked bootloader to flash it with fastboot. Flashing a firmware does not relock the bootloader.

I flashed that file with success easily with RSD Lite. It updated the bootloader from 60.11 to 60.16. I think its the latest, I'll have to dig around the net to make sure. Thanks a lot. Bootloader still unlocked. woot!

Excellent! Now just make sure you never flash an earlier version of the bootloader or partition table, so you don't risk bricking the phone. Since you flashed stock factory firmware, you can check for official system updates from the phone. It's not likely Motorola will release any more updates for the Moto X 2014.
Hi guys I have the latest firmware installed ( see screenshot) whenever I try to obtain root via chain fires autoroot or through custom kernel for n9208 my phone gets stuck at bootloader. Is there any way to fix this.
Ps the crom services app always force closes . And I followed every step on root tutorials
Hi, i got same problem with new firmware update, lost my root and tried to root again with chainfire autoroot, but didnt work, tried a couple of times...no luck, at this step i still can boot android, then tried flash xiaolu kernel...at this step i got boot loop, both space kernel also failed to boot, so if you havent flash any kernel with odin, you still can boot after flashing twrp recovery, but if you already messed with kernel, there no way to to fix it...better flassh new firmware, and use stock until someone can find a way to root 5.1.1, hope its help...

Isn't there a way we can simply downgrade to the last rootable firmware?
if you're on the latest firmware, i recall having to install the AOK2 bootloader to root my N9208 using the original root methods (not the Systemlesss Root method). check the TWRP thread for details. The situation may have changed, but when i upgraded my firmware to AOL1, i had to downgrade the bootloader to AOK2 to regain root.

How did you downgraded your boot loader? I am sorry but I'm really new to galaxy development.
PS is it safe to flash a firmware from December over my current version which is from march

check the TWRP thread for details and links to downgrade the bootloader. please note/remember, i downgraded from AOL1 to AOK2. not sure if this works with any firmware newer than AOL1. in my case, i reflashed the AOL1 firmware, then downgraded/flashed the AOK2 bootloader and then rooted using the original 9208 root method.

Hello there.
My G5s+ is suggesting a security update. But since I did unlock the bootloader and rooted it with magisk I did not install it.
My question is: What is the best way to update the phone?
Just flash the new stock rom? And where do I get those?
Thanks in advance.
Nobody here that can tell me how to upgrade?
Should I just flash the new version if I get it somewhere?

Unlocked bootloader will not affect the OTA installation..!
The reason the OTA-Update fails is that one of the boot, system, logo or recovery partitions are changed.
Magisk modifies the boot image.
On rooted device..OTA may brick the device..so avoid OTA installation..!
Reply your current build Number from about phone..
Do a clean flash.

Flash 26-11 full firmware
Where can I find full firmware versions of the stock rom to flash?
My build version is: NPSS26.116-26-4
As I understand it, there are two new security patches since that version? If I'm flashing one of the newer versions, is it just a case of dirty flashing it normally through twrp? No need to factory reset?

If that is the firmware build you need, you could try the firmware here: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5s Plus/Stock/ but ensure you download the correct firmware. (credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/xt1804-able-to-lock-bootloader-npss26-t3722572) Also, verify it is the firmware you require and was the latest firmware build on your device - please don't downgrade with stock firmware (else you may hard brick with OTA updates corrupting your bootloader)...
Stock OTA updates, as mentioned above, require fully stock firmware - they will not flash with root, modifications or TWRP (and attempting to flash via TWRP may soft bootloop your device). Thus, you must re-flash the stock firmware - you may be able to save your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command and you do not have to re-lock your bootloader. However, I'm not familiar with the G5S Plus and I hope another user can provide you with flashing commands.
I would still recommend you make a backup of your device in TWRP and keep that safe, in case you have to wipe your data for stability.
Before trying anything on my phone thought I wanna ask first.
I have an N960F, Exynos obviously; but I want to downgrade from Android 10 Q. I learned that I cannot flash official firmware via Odin that is based on an older bootloader version, say Oreo or Pie.
Would unlocking the bootloader change this case and allow me to flash Oreo again?

Sadly, no. Sorry man, the unlocking of the bootloader only allows for non-official binaries to be installed, such as TWRP, but nothing will let you go backward in bootloader versions. Sorry man
post up your entire firmware version so we can look around for ya and hopefully find a pie firmware for ya
