Does installing a ROM update the firmware? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, the title says it all.
Also, when flashing a ROM does it usually install the firmware that best suits it or should I flash the firmware as well as the ROM. I'm a bit clueless here...
Thanks for any help

Can I install Litening Rom v2.2 over my stock XWKE7
Good day all, I have a real nooby question regarding installing the Latest Lite'ning Rom V2.2 XXKG1 on my unrooted, brand new South African Vodacom/ Vodafone branded stock XWKE7 (out of box firmware).
Do I need to flash anything prior to flashing Litening Rom V2.2?
Or do I have install From the frst version and work my way upto 2.2?
I also can't seem to find Stock African Galaxy S II firmware anywhere - Would any XWKE7 firmware do?
I can find lots of info it just doesn't seem to tie up and all the various kernels and version numbers are making my head swim. Thank you in advance for any help

Yes - you have to start by flashing 2.0 - then you need to install the 2.1 update and then the 2.2 update.
Follow this to flash the 2.0 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
Then follow this to upgrade 2.1 and 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15643453&postcount=5041
Thank you very much for the fast and prompt response. I'm going to do as described right away. Thank you again.

[Q] Fastboot flash

"you can not flash via fastboot any official rom with different signature from the original one for your phone"
is this true regarding flashing???
Not sure...what rom are you trying to flash via fastboot?
no, its not the problem with me. actually i noticed many times here in razr flashing question about mismatched ROM and they are advised to check for their own region ROM only. i want advise regarding this only for precaution, as i had successfully flashed many EU ROM, a Brasil version, FTS 2.3 ROM, and ARctic one without any region mismatch problem. That's why to be on safer side, i want to know this so to avoid any future soft/hard brick problem.
I have flashed Artic, as well as a Brazilian ROM with success.

that's what i want to confirm. if theres so many people out there with having problem with flashing other regions ROM, and some of us are flashing different ROM with success, so if any DEV want to pin-point here whats exactly going on here with our RAZR. If we are so lucky having such 'unique' razrs or they are some unlucky ones having some not so 'unique' one.
DEV's help needed here.

[Q] Restoring stock firmware

Hi
I've installed the CyanogenMod following the instructions from the link below and flashed the bootloader to the US ICS bootloader as recommended. Everything worked fine, although I'll thinking about upgrading the tab and restoring it to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202
I've found the stock firmware on the Sammobile site, although will this also revert the bootloader or do I need to install the UK bootloader and then restore the stock firmware?
Thanks
Flashing stock firmware will also install a bootloader, so there is no need for you to flash it again.
Thanks for the help :good:

Update KII-L22C106B130 to stock Marshmallow

Every custom ROM states "You must have flashed a stock MM update before flashing this ROM" but I can't find stock MM firmware for KII-L22C106B130 , will Thailand's KII-L22C636B130 stock upgrade work?
some report says after flashing Thailand's KII-L22C636B130 on American KII-L22C106B130 it stops reading SIM, will the SIM reading be restored after flashing the custom ROM?
Help please.
Could you find a solution?
