Short back 2 ext 3 question

Hey there,
i've never used it before so here goes my question.
Ive downloaded the r1-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip.
I'm told to flash this via CWM. So far so good.
Do i have to flash an original firmware first or can i flash another custom rom directly afterwards?
Oh and, if i have to flash an original firmware first, which one do i need to flash?
The BIN_LGP99_filenameblabla provider firmware or the 2x-v10b-1300166062-nvflash.zip via nvflash?
Thanks in advance guys

Flash whatever you like afterwards, but a few custom ROMs are going to convert you back to EXT4 again.

Occasional restart after root

Hey i was wondering if there is anywhere i can find a stock rom to flash for the T-mobile variant of the Note 5. I recently rooted and flashed TWRP. I was wondering where I can find a stock rom for the T-mobile note 5 to flash via odin. If not could there be any other way to diagnose the issue. Thank you.

Help with stock n920g flashing process

Hi, im in a nightmare for about 2 weeks trying to flash a stock rom in my n920g.
I have to flash a stock rom cause i was trying to sell my phone, i tried like 10 different roms, when i flash N920GDDU2BPC4 rom with 4 files theres no problem only that theres no spanish in there (and i need it) so i tried to flash an argentina n920g stock rom from sammobile N920GUBS3BPI2 and i get several errors in odin, with modem, cache, etc, tried erasing those files but then i go to a black screen with dm verification issues, at this point i dont know what to do i just need a stock rom with spanish language...pls help me im getting mad with this issue, never happened me before, both roms r MM 6.0.1, my only hope is to find a stock rom n920g with spanish but flashable trough TWRP but WITHOUT ROOT.
I used system info app from play store and it seems my n920g is a mess with modem from india, bootlader for argetina, rom from Z version, etc, now i cant flash any n920g rom, i think is cause of the bootloader but i cant flash another bootloader cause i get a fail message in odin, no idea what to do now....i just want to get a stock rom but now it seems impossible.

HELP needed (can't flash stock rom)

Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920G I need some help here. After a long time using custom roms, recently I've tried to flash a stock rom to my device (it was an Indian nougat rom from sammobile) and I got an error on Odin when flashing system. After that I lost my recovery (TWRP) an my Note 5 went only in download mode. Then a I flashed TWRP again and installed a custom rom again. Now I'm trying to flash any stock rom and I am getting random errors like "device 1 binary 0". I've tried many different roms and 0 luck. Someone could help me here? I never have this problem before and I just don't know more what to do.

Peace..
I'm having the same exact problem--I found firmware that only flashed to radio--then abruptly stopped--wiping my system, so i'm stuck in download mode, phone will not power off. Instead of flashing Nougat ROM, i opted to flash "stock" MM firmware (6.01) and let phone update to Nougat on its on---then re-root it. As of now I have a paper-weight and it appears there's no support for 920G

Have you all tried Smart Switch?

Paper-weight? That's bad... Can't you flash a custom recovery on Odin and install a custom rom? I still can do that.

It's because you flashed Nougat and that's Android 7.0 and it now thinks you're trying to "downgrade", which is pretty much blocked by trying to use "stock" roms.. The only thing you could probably do is find the stock rom you're interested in flashing but make sure it can be flashed via TWRP.. I don't think you can use Odin now to flash backwards "downgrade" to another stock rom after flashing Nougat 7.0..

Well I figured out you can downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow but that's only to a specific firmware version. Depending upon what bootloader has been flashed (meaning if you flashed Nougat bootloader you can only go back to Marshmallow with the same bootloader level).. But this is only working (surprisingly) on the locked bootloaders of Verizon and AT&T.. The other S6 Edge Plus I have with an unlocked bootloader and tripped knox that I recently acquired will not accept nothing stock which is unusual, but I'm still working on that one.

Only Official Released Binaries... Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Hey guys,
I've done my custom rom well and it all was working fine, and I restared right after it started and then my phone has stopped at Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and in Red Text up it says:
Only Official Released Binaries are allowed to be flashed.
Is there any solution with my situation?
Your help would be appreciated guys

The only way to fix that is by flashing stock filmware with Odin. Just make sure to download the same filmware or newer than what is on the phone as you can't flash older filmware and you would just get an error. You can use "Frija" for PC to download the filmware at a decent speed, just Google "Frija XDA"
Did you flash a rom and this happened? Or did you just flash TWRP and reboot?

The ' Only Official Released Binaries are allowed to be flashed ' error is due to bootloader not being fully unlocked.
As @stonedpsycho has said flash firmware to fix.

Is it related to RMM ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ll-twrp-on-exynos-samsung-after-2018.3747535/

I'll try the "Frija XDA" and see what I can get, because I got tired of keep downloading STOCK ROM at low speed and then stopped!!
and I got this message after flashing the ROM, I flashed it the first time and it was very good, but I wanted to remove some unwanted apps, then I flashed it again, OK! This time it works fine too and when it started and before making any setups (Google account, WIFI, etc) I restarted my phone to flash some additional Add-On's but I got this message and I'm stock here untill now.

Very strange that this happened after flashing a rom as the RMM state should be patched (This should only be an issue when wanting to root stock filmware and not flash a rom). Post the link to the Lightrom you are using and I will have a look on the thread as maybe you missed something or there may be others who encountered the same problem with someone offering a solution.

This is the LightRom I used, always I'm following the instructions and my work always goes the right, except this time, I may did something wrong.
And by the way, I have formatted Data before doing the 1st flash and the 2nd flash.

Flashed the Stock rom and it worked, thank you guys @LR7875 @spawnlives @stonedpsycho

The RMM and/or KG state has been around since oero. Flashing stock firmware will reactive this state. To modify your phone this state has to change.
So you will need
Oem unlocked in developers menu
In download mode
RMM - normal or dissapeared
KG - checking
Then you start to flash non samsung signed firmware. ie: twrp,root,custom roms etc.
Read the post quoted above for rmm state bypass
KG state there is no zip to bypass so it has to be in checking mode and will generally stay that way until flashing stock firmware again.
