[Q] Flashing another devices stock rom - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have SM-P902 Note Pro 12.2" + 3G. Its a special version for Turkey.
Universal version of Note Pro 12.2" + 3G is called SM-P901. I ve searched and it seems like P902 and P901 has same hardware at all. Since there is no stock rom for p902 or update, i want to flash P901 stock rom to my device.
When i try to flash P901 rom from Odin i get error and it fails. I belive its some kind of product code mismatch or sth.
Here is what i asking for.
1. Is there a way i can flash P901 rom to my P902 via Odin?
2. When i extract tar file i get system.img file. Can i flash it somehow? Will it work?
3. Can i extract system.img file? (Tried ext4_unpacker but i get img file format error)
Device works with 4.4.2

I suppose the baseband (CP) version you have attached is G850FXXU1CPC1
I have version G850FXXU1COJ5 and can't update - Odin can't flash, no details for the error, just failed 1. The full name of the ROM I had flashed is
G850FXXS2CQA2_G850FOLB2COJ1_G850FXXU1COJ5_HOME.tar.md5
and previously I had used
G850FXXU2COK6_G850FOLB2COJ1_G850FXXU1COJ5_HOME.tar.md5
which seem to have same baseband.
Why can't I update the baseband?
Thank you
Hi,
I am trying to flash newer baseband from what I have: G850FXXU1COJ5
I tried but failed with flashing through odin of the following two:
G850FXXU2COK6.bin
G850FXXU1CPC1.bin
Perhaps I am making a mistake in flashing it, but I am not aware which is newer or what is the difference between these two U2 COK6 and U1 CPC1
U2 > U1, but COK6 < CPC1, so which one is newer?
Thanks

Root for Asus Zenfone 3 Max

Hello,
I've been recently trying to root my Asus Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) using SP Flash tool,
however, I haven't found the correct scatter file for my device. Does anyone know where
I could find a MT6737 scatter file? Thanks in advance!
Hi. From my experience, correct scatter files that work (not just any random scatter file) reside in a ROM/Firmware zip.
Doing a little searching, I found that you can download stock firmware for you device from Asus officially. They offer them in the support section.
Here is the link: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
Should you download the official firmware specific to your device and unzip the file, (in all probability) you will also find the correct scatter file which you are looking for (something like xxxxx_scatter_file.txt).
(also keeping in place a stock rom is never but never a bad idea )
However... You mentioned that you need the scatter file to root??? I have not any idea as to why you would need SP Flash tool for any other reason than flashing stock.
Unless you are flashing full custom rom which cannot be flashed through recovery perhaps?
Anyway... Good luck!!!
Thanks for the quick response!

I needed the Flash tool because I was trying to flash TWRP, and from there install superuser. I did as you said, but when I tried loading the scatter file
the program recognized it as invalid. A huge thanks for the help though!!!

Ok... No worries!! We will probably figure it out in the end.
By the way, I am not sure I understand exactly how you were going to use SP Flashtool to flash TWRP. From my experience it does not work that way. You need platform tools (adb and fastboot).
platform tools here ----> https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
It is with these that you will unlock bootlader, and after bootloader is unlocked, first flash supersu, install busybox and lastly flash twrp.
Please look at my how-to root and twrp section. It is not for your device, but it will give you a good idea of the process: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-8-tb3-850f-unbrick-root-t3598727

Flash zip in download mode

Hey
Yesterday I flashed a boot logo on my SM-G928F in TWRP. After that my phone doesn't boot into system or recovery anymore - there's always a blackscreen. I only can boot into download mode.
I tried to flash a stock-rom via Odin but that didn't helped - the same blackscreen, because a stock rom does not replace the boot logo.
I think I have to flash the stock boot logo ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1378RQ5w_vAAmnQ3HB0FymZXWIm12T0Mg/view ) , but thats a zip which I can't flash via Odin.
There a two ways in my mind which could work:
1. Getting a tar.md5 file with the stock boot logo.
2. Getting a tool which allows to flash zips in download mode of the phone.
I really hope that someone could help me with my big problem.
Best regards
DGB
Hey there
I recommend to flash the firmware again but this time after flashing firmware flash the twrp and flash the zip via adb sideload ( a feature present in TWRP) as by adb sideload one is able to flash zip files as well
Or i recommend you to get to know the combination of keys that will help you to directly enter into recovery
Hope it will work
And if there is any problem let me know
As in the internet there are various ways by which a person can flash the custom rom and custom recovery via odin
Look at this link:-

Thank you for your answer but that didn't worked. The problem is that flashing the stock firmware doesn't replace or repair the boot image. So I've got a never ending blackscreen when I want to boot in system or TWRP/Recovery and that means that I'm not able to configure ADB Sideload.
I can only boot into download mode, nothing else.
I think the jpg of the boot logo I've installed was corrupted so it can't be loaded
You are in download mode so you have to press all the keys including the home button and once the download mode closes then press the "volume up key and power key and also the home button and then your phone will automatically reboot into recovery.
I know, I tried that multiple times but it doesn't work. Blackscreen... only a never ending blackscreen. The download mode is the only thing taht works. I have to flahs the old boot logo via download mode... but i don't know how
Wait for the battery to be drained out completely and then do what i said earlier

I did. but it didn't work, too
I really need someone who is able to integrate the stock boot logo into a custom rom which can be flashed via Odin... Or I need a tool which allows to install zips in download mode. I tried adb sideload again but it didn't recognizes my phone when its not in recovery.
I really think that my S6 edge + is nearly died :crying:

Not even flashing a factory firmware (4 files with pit) with repartition option selected?
What about a combination firmware and then a full stock FW?

I only tried to flash stock firmware with AP in Odin... and I tried stock rom with re-partition.
Where do I get those 4 files? I need XEU for my SM-G928F. It would be very nice if you could give me a more detailed instruction for this because I never worked with PIT...
get samfirm v0.3.6
On the model you put sm-g928f, region XEU, tick the binary nature box and press "check update". Download the resulting file, that is a factory firmware to do repairs in a 4 files format: bootloader, pda or ap, modem or cp and csc!
You will get this file:
SM-G928F_1_20180305151001_nsg8uwd0sh_fac.zip
Put each file in the correct field in odin!
About combination firmware, it needs to be same binary version as stock firmware already programed on phone! if first number on firmware version is a 3, combination FW need to be also bin 3!
G928FXXS4CRB4 if is 4, you need comb fw also in bin 4! if you downgrade you get odin error and a softbrick!
Was checking if any comb. fw is available, but i find only paid files for your phone model!

It worked means you got your phone back to normal or you could get the firmware using samfirm?
Pit file is always inside csc file on a 4 files fac firmware. Use the pit on firmware because the pit from your link can be from a early version of android and have different bits for partition sizes!
EDIT: Here, got the combination fw for the binary 4. IF your phone is already ok, don't use this!

[SM-J530F] Can't flash back to stock ROM

I was using a custom OREO rom, and i tried to install another country's stock firmware (CYV) which had android OREO. Now my sim is not recognised, I am trying to flash the original stock of my carrier(COS) (Which had android 7) firmware but odin fails, and device shows SYSTEM REV. CHECK DEVICE 1 BINARY 0.
I can only use ODIN to flash the new (CYP) firmware.
Also after installing the CYP firmware it added on the boot a line Protected by knox which did not exist before, please I have tried everything? Is my phone bricked for good?
Hi , try this:
1. Download your stock firmware Android 7 if you have it skip this step
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=22DB920E54E011E89F15FA163EE8F90B
2. Once you download your firmware use 7-zip and rename end of firmware name tar.md5 to .tar and extract to desktop just recovery.img .
3. Now use 7-zip and recovery.img to archive recovery.tar .
4. Open Odin , click on AP and add recovery.tar , put your device in Download mode and flash with odin .
5. If you successfully flashed recovery just reflash after that full firmware .
If that problem is still there try DBT version .

Huawei Y7 Prime 2018 (LDN-L21) - I want to FLASH my phone, but how? Problem

Hello,
I found that it is possibility to Install new system on a phone. I did research about this but I don't really know how I don't understand everything.
When I was searching for my phone model there were some inaccuracies.
For example: I couldn't find the proper version. I have found "firmwares" that differs by one letter and I don't know I can download it or better no :/
My Phone Specifications are:
HUAWEI Y7 Prime 2018
Model: LDN-L21
LDN-L21 8.0.0.147(C432)
EMUI Version: 8.0.0
Android System Version: 8.0.0
Custom Version: CUSTC432D1
I found a site where I can download Firmwares.
My question is: Can I download for example this version and install it?
LDN-L21 London-L21A 8.0.0.150(C432CUSTC432D1)
or I must find version that exactly match my phone specifications? And what the word "London" means here?
Could somebody tell me step by step what should I do to Install new system on my phone?
Hello.
There are 1 letter difference in model - L21A and L21B. I guess there are no really HW or SW differences, but I stayed at L21B stock rom.
London is commercial codename for that type/serie of phone. LDN-L01 to L29 are similar Huawei and Honor phones with various names (Y7 2018/ Nova 2 lite / Honor 7A/7C etc). Other line/serie has other city name.
Latest stock rom for LDN-L21B is 8.0.0.151, for now.
If your phone is not rooted, still bootloader locked, with stock recovery: use System update from Settings or boot to eRecovery, connect to WiFi and let phone download latest rom and install it automatically.

I guess that you can use some of recovery modes: stock recovery, TWRP recovery or fastboot flash. Inside every ZIP is UPDATE.app. Every *.app can be unpacked with Huawei_Update_Extractor_v0.9.9.5. Eccential partitions for flash are ramdisk, kernel, product, system, vendor, version, cust. Extracted IMGs are still packed as SPARE img, so you have to unpack them with SIMG2IMG (simg2img system.img sys.img).
Now images can be flashed with custom *TWRP* recovery or fastboot (fastboot flash system system.img).
