Hardbrick only occures when u flash downgrade firmware via Fastboot, so if u dont want hardbrick. Flash the ROMs via TWRP recovery as its not flash Bootloader, download Flasheble ROMs and flash via recovery it wont hardback.

If I'm on rooted stock ROM with custom kernel, what's the best way to update to 5.1.1 without a wipe?

I ended up using the Smart Switch to revert to stock. Stock apparently doesn't have an update for me, so I tried to Odin the latest XEU version. However Odin won't see my phone

If you are still on kitkat and you want to go to lolipop then you need the flash a stock LP rom before you can go to custom one.

After I flashed stock LP I had to flash my KK modem because my phone wasn't booting.
Is that normal?
Or maybe I should have flashed twrp, fully wiped everything then flahed LP
Idk, now I'm still stuck with kk modem :/

Hello,
Tried all ROMS, none is working, below is the detail:
Installed
1 . CRISSCROSS ROM - no audio, while on call in earpiece and loudspeaker
2 . XtreStoLite-ROM-3.3.1-DPDP.zip ROM, Problem - AFter flash Phone model shows G925F AND NO CONNECTION TO NETWORK, EMERGENCY CALLS ALL TIME, TRIED flashing MODEM for g925w8 no LUCK
3. KIngfisher ROM, after flashing Kingfisher ROM, phone is STUCK AT
*KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING* and phone will not turn ON.
SO , I guess there is NO working CUSTOM ROM fOR G925W8,canada. At the end I flashed stock BOJ7 AND Phone is working perfectly with 5 1 1 G925W8 BOJ7
I'm using the G925W8 on Xtrestolite. You must be missing something. I'm not sure what though

Custom ROMs for that work for W8
I've have confirmation from multiple users that my OZOP Rom is compatible and working flawlessly for the following devices Flat and Edge (rom is Edge based) F/I/T/W8. Could be more this are just the confirmed working devices.
Also OZOP is currently very active with development and actually about to be updated!
What ever Rom you decide is up to you.
Just letting you know there are options available.
Good luck
I believe you need to update your bootloaders using a stock 6.0.1 image or flash them via odin.
Also look in the T mobile section for a custom kernel like stang has a rom showing for. Our devices were basically secondhand tmobile rebranded as W8. Everything is literally the same minus us canadian guys cant use wifi calling.
So in short flash rom, then kernel and let it boot. Once it boots then turn it off and restart into recovery and flash call fix. If you need an updated callfix I can post a link here.
I found if you flash all three before first boot the zip from callfix creates a bootloop. Therefore it tells me the zip needs to be flashed over a built system
Nothing seems to work, No matter what I have No network connection... on any rom..

I know how to do it, the phone is unlocked, so not sure what carrier I should be flashing on it. I legit just need it to be able to use the Network, currently have it custom rom'd but no network.

So the best I've been able to do is get it on a custom rom with no network connection at all. Seems like Im losing the ability to get it working. I tried Wind, telus stock 6.0.1's and i get the SW rev error, I've tried Rogers 5.1.1, and I get the same. Only thing that flashed on my device was "AP_G925W8VLU2AOG2_CL4808800_QB5701859_REV02_user_low_ship.tar" but it didn't boot past Galaxy S6 Edge logo, and recovery wasn't loading to try and factory reset to continue boot. I'm pretty sure this phone is dead.... I mean the custom rom was 6.0.1 with arter kernel, but no service... I'm lost...

Thanks Sir.
Any ideas to my posts above?
guaranteed it's the bootloader and modem.
Once you flash the 6.0.1 ones via ODIN, then both crisscross and xtrolite should work. Crisscross, you will need to flash an independent audio fix which Christ have provided you in the post above.
Xtrolite (which I'm using with Twisted V4 Kernel) has it integrated so you shouldn't have any audio problems. Mind you, if you're still having trouble. Flash back 5.1.1 stock kernel and then let it update officially via samsung kies or OTA. Our phones now have 6.0.1 release so once you do that, you'll automatically have the new 6.0.1 bootloader and modem for our 925w8 phones. Then it'll be simple to flash a custom rom at that point.
Just update stock system to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (or flash stock 6.0.1 via Odin), then flash TWRP, do standard wipe with TWRP (Data, Cache and Dalvik), flash XtreStoLite via TWRP and everything will work
I have canadian S6 Edge and XtreStoLite is working very good

issue is I can't make the 6.0.1 stock files flash, always getting the SW rev error when cm.bin tries to flash, I've tried, Rogers, Wind, Telus stock files, nothing works. On CrissCross right now but not service... I want to get back to stock or at least make the bootloader work.
EDIT: Apparently using the most recent koodo stock, got me back to stock rom and with service! Now to root and do the custom rom properly! Thanks all!

THIS G925W8 is working perfectly in 5 1 1 , I was able to make calls to all networks including GSM and WCDMA, I checked IMEI status with code 197328640 and IMIE status is OK, then after I flashed 6 0 1 and then the IMIE status turns to NOT GOOD and I am unable to make calls and stuck at EMERGENCY CALLS, looks like this PHONE IS JACKED??
Hi all.
First of all, I'm newbie on this, so be patient. I tried to flash CyanogenMod on my Honor 5X (KIW-L23), but did not perform the upgrade to MM. Now I have CM 12.1 (Lollipop) but I can't install CM 13 (MM) or any MM based ROM.
How can I upgrade to MM?
Thanks in advance!
restore a twrp backup of stock rom, flash stock recovery and update to MM, or flash stock rom and update

Hi. That's the stuff. I lost the stock backup I did. I tried to search for the stock rom, but I have,'t found it. Is there other way to upgrade it without the stock rom?

Use huawei update finder for stock, if you have already tried the normal method to wipe then flash the rom and it didn't work then I don't know any other methods to update
Firmware finder is ur good frn now
