1. If I flash an OTA file (zip OTA file),will it also flash my SPL and Radio?
2. How do u flash the OTA file?
Hello,
Why some phones requires bootloop fix on .570/575?
And what bootloop fix exactly does? I found that there are OLDER firmware files.
IMHO i have worse cellular network coverage than on 5.1.1 and the signal is sometimes "floating".
Bootloop fix is actually modem firmware files. There is no need to flash that anymore if you have Official MM FTF.
Once you finish flashing a prerooted rom on TWRP, Turn off the phone instead of reboot. Then
on Flash tool select the MM Official FTF, exclude System and Partition and flash it. Phone will boot normally.

I've been wondering about this to, if I use prf creator to pre root MM, I still won't need bootloop fix?
I have only ever flashed the following after rooting..

2)super su (later unSU.zip-ed)
3)cm-13.0-20170116-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3Y9-condor.zip
4)lineage-13.0-20170621-STABLE-condor.zip
5)magisk
so..
do i need to flash stock firmware or stock rom using Retail Dual-SIM (Asia | World) 5.1 ROM (Untouched) (459mb)
if i use stock firmware.. ( referring to guide )
1) as i have never made modifications to radio/modem do i need to "flash modem NON-HLOS.bin"
2)as mentioned here
"WARNING: Flashing a Firmware Image is not a safe way to downgrade. Avoid flashing 'motoboot.img."
do i need to flash motoboot.img
3) i have twrp as recovery i would want it to remain so if possible in stock rom ... do i need to flash "flash recovery recovery.img"

1. See you can surely flash stock firmware there is no Risk unless and until you flash 4.4.2 and update it to 4.4.4 if you do it you'll most probably HardBrick your phone so my recommendation is to flash 4.4.4 or 5.1 and never update your phone via updater...
2. And yes you'll have to flash Twrp.img after flashing stock firmware as flashing firmware change your recovery to stock.
3. Yup motoboot.img is needed to flash.
4. Refer to the batch file I've attached.
Some Custom ROM updates have as a prerequisite the flashing of a newer firmware version for the device.
I have a Xiaomi device (Redmi Note 9 Pro/Joyeuse). When a firmware update will be required before flashing a Custom ROM, do I just download the 70ish MB file from here and flash it through the Custom Recovery, and after that, flash the Custom ROM?
Furthermore, will flashing the firmware overwrite my Custom Recovery?
Thanks in advance!
Just flash that firmware through recovery.
Firmware doesn't overwrite recovery.
Basically, I've searched for this question but no concrete answer to be found. I am following a rooting tutorial and it says to flash stock firmware through Odin and then flash TWRP.
I have found the stock firmware for my country (Android 8), but other cell carrier than mine, and the phone is currently running Android 9.
Can I just flash TWRP without flashing a stock firmware beforehand, or is it necessary to flash a stock firmware first, and if so, what about the different carrier and a previous Android version?

Before flashing TWRP, it is a good idea to flash the latest firmware to get the latest version of the modem, which will be useful for use with custom ROM.
Carefully read the TWRP flashing instructions so there are no surprises.
If you don't want to change the original firmware, then flash TWRP.
beware, latest firmware may bring new security updates such as vaultkeeper or RMM protection to your device.
you can flash different CSC with modded Odin (not recommended) but you can't downgrade bootloader.
use Samloader or Bifrost to download from official Samsung server for your region.
