Hi flashers and Devs! If you have a G920I please READ!!
Hi all, Here is an index of Modems/bootloaders and ROMS and links for the G920I. Also is a quick compatibility matrix which should answer some common questions.
Flash the latest TWRP first!
New Modem and Bootloader COH3 (For the G920I Only) 08/23/2015
COH3 Modem & sBoot combo Link G920I (5.1.1)
Modem and Bootloader OGA (for the G920I Only) 08/21/2015
OGA Modem Link G920I (5.1.1)
OGA sBoot Link G920I (5.1.1)
Modem & Bootloader OF8 (for the G920I Only) 07/28/2015
OF8 Modem G920I (5.1.1)
OF8 Bootloader G920I (5.1.1)
ROMS
XtreStoLite 2.0 (5.1.1) install guide here: (link to the OP guide) Flash the modems I uploaded here as they are the latest, and are 100% compatible with the ROM the OP not updated the thread with the latest yet.
G920IDVU2COF8 India 5.1.1 100% STOCK ROM If you flash via odin, it will be unrooted, and have 5.1.1 Bootloader + modem, and make all previous 5.0.2 Roms unbootable. Do not flash unless this is your intent. If somebody can mirror from Sammobile it would be greatly appreciated. My upload is too slow and unstable on ADSL2.

If you have questions before clogging up the individual threads the please list them here. State your ROM, Bootloader, Modem, and phone model (must be a G920I) then your question.
Compatibility matrix5.0.2 Bootloader: Boots XtreStoLite 1.5. Boots XtreStoLite 2.0 ONLY if fingerprint feature is NOT installed.
5.1.1 Bootloader: Does NOT boot XtreStoLite 1.5 or any other 5.0.2 ROM. Boots XtreStoLite 2.0 with full functionality.
IF YOU FLASH 5.1.1 BOOTLOADER YOU CANNOT EVER FLASH ANY 5.0.2 ROM AGAIN OR GO BACK TO OLD BOOTLOADER.If you want to "test" the new ROM, flash it without the fingerprint function first before updating bootloader.
Reserved 1
INSTALLATION GUIDES
XtreStoLite 1.5 Dedox
Same as 920F (follow OP on thread)
XtreStoLite 2.0 Odex with 5.1.1 bootloader.
1. Download Rom and simplkernel r5u and save on phone.
2. Flash latest TWRP using odin.
3. Flash bootloader and modem.
4. Then use TWRP to install Rom full wipe. .
5. Don't reboot yet. Flash simplkernel.
Now reboot
and enjoy Rom.
Alternatively you can flash 2.0 without fingerprint scanner if u wish to test rom without updating the bootloader first but use rom with simplkernel r5u.

FAQ's
but if you don't flash 5.1.1 stock rom with 5.1.1 bootloader,the 5.1.1 rom which were made for g920f might not support fingerprint.so,if you want to use XtreStroLite,a 5.1.1 bootloader is essential

True, I am going to add the bootloader shortly. Then you should be able to use the fingerprint feature without an issue.
XtreStolite 2.0 works on 920I ? Official thread never said it .. I am glad to see that it will work .

At first when it was released it didn't. Then a few people discovered removing the fingerprint functionality allowed it to boot on G920I on old bootloader. Just this week the official bootloader/modem was released for the G920I making it fully compatible.
I have the 920I, and I want to install XtreStoLite Odex Pure Edition 2.0, I'm on Indian 5.1.1. How should I do it? First, install UniKernel (Flashing the tar file on AP/PDA), then flashing the TWRP, and then flashing the rom in recovery? When should I install the modem and bootloader if I already flashed the 5.1.1 full fw? Will the rom fully work on 920I? Thanks in advance
To flash modem and bootloader only need folllw edgarf28 guide? I already in 5.1.1 with old bootloader
Would these work on 920F?
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
modem not is tar.md5 file, is that right???
edit modem dont work, cm.bin is missing
If I flash the 5.1.1 bootloader will recovery still be installed, and I'd be then able to flash xtrestolite 2.0?
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Forums
The modem is. Bin format u can flash it without the cm file. Yes u need to update to the latest version of twrp to run 5.1.1. Before flashing the bootloader.

Hello. I have a G920F with the poor signal issue. Im wondering if it will be ok to flash this new modem as it uses the same basebands as the ones I use on my G920F. 4G 1800/2300, 3G 2100, 2G 900/1800. I cant see any problems but thought I would just check.
Can I flash latest 0f8 modem on the old boot loader?

Repacked in .tar.md5 format (thanks @solrazr)
bootloader.tar.md5 http://d-h.st/xkNu
modem.tar.md5 http://d-h.st/EwqK
My installation method:
1. flash rom (I use XtreStoLite Odex Pure Edition 2.0 with keep app and data settings i.e. no data wiping)
2. flash rom addon (if any)
3. flash custom kernel (if any)
3. reboot to bootloader/download mode
4. flash bootloader and modem
5. reboot
So I'm on 5.0.2 at the moment. No matter what bootloader & modem I flash nothing seems to flash successfully. If I flash 5.1.1 ROM first, will that allow me to flash via Odin?
Gosh I'm having all sorts of annoying issues with Odin not working at the moment! Thanks.
Hello i have 920I with android 5.0.2 rooted with pingpong root and knox not tripped.
Im thinking to update to 5.1.1 using smartswitch, and then rooting the stock rom.
Is there a procedure on how to do this as i have been confused because each thread gives a different method.
Also would i need to flash bootloaders modems etc... after the update.
Thank you

Below is a collection of all known stock firmware for the T-mobile S5 (G900T). This thread provides links to firmwares, root methods, bootloader, modem, and recovery methods. This isn’t a thread for support and any questions about any of the specific firmware, root methods, bootloader, modem, and recovery methods should be asked in the threads linked below. I am not responsible for what happens for any unfortunate problems that may occur while using any methods below. Please read any instructions carefully to avoid any mishaps!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Links below are for Odin and MD5 if you need them.
(Use for 5.0+)>>Odin v3.10.6<< (Use for 5.0+)
Odin v3.09
MD5 reader
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock Firmwares: These are links directly to all the official stock firmwares for G900T. In other words, these are same files you would get if you downloaded straight from sammobile except you won’t get the ridiculous download times of sammobile. Remember to double check MD5 to make sure you get full download and not a partial download so everything will run as smooth as possible. Also some say the fix for an invalid error when flashing can be fixed by renaming file to end in .tar. (Example would be to change firmware.tar.md5 to firmware.tar and flash that)
Instructions straight from sammobile
1) extract/unzip firmware file (should show as .tar)
2) download odin v3.09 or newer and extract
3) open odin
4) Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
5) Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
6) Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
7) Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked and keep odin default settings
8) Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

Great guide. Thanks!
Just a suggestion for when you have a ton of free time and absolutely nothing to do, you might want to actually add the modem and bootloader downloads in this thread. That would be a wonderful thing.

My phone has the G900TUVU1CNK2 firmware. I would like to root, flash TWRP and then flash a 5.0 ROM.
1. Can this be done without tripping KNOX?
2. Do I need to update the modem or bootloader?

1. No. If you flash a custom recovery such as TWRP it trips Knox
2. It depends on the ROM, but when you move to 5.0 you should have 5.0 bootloader and modem, or you can have all kinds of problems if it even works at all. If you flash a stock 5.0 ROM it will update everything for you and then it is much easier to flash a custom ROM.
I'm going to flash an international ROM for my G900T. Do I need to flash the OB1 bootloader or modem first?

From what I understand, you can only nand back to NK2 if you are on KK and not LP firmware. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

If you download the full firmware it does contain everything. The BL and modem you see for download is for those who want to exploit a root or some other reason. For the most part, you can just flash the full stock firmware and not have to worry about the rest unless you are trying to fix connection issues and/or root.

Not exactly sure why but searching around online, some say that changing the .md5 at the end of the file name helped them. But if that doesn't work I'm not sure. Hopefully a dev or someone sees this and knows what to do. If it does work though, let me know and I can put a note in.

Are you saying you should rename the .md5 extension or.completely remove it from the file name. And just try flash as a .tar?
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

5 Does this rom have spanish langauage? can you check for me?
Thank you

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..

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!

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

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! I am using the redmi note 3 snapdragon variant,and i have unlocked my bootloader unofficially and curretly using cm13 rom.
I want to swith back to stock miui rom,i.e miui 8 ,bt i read that directly flashing the rom will relock my bootloader and brick my phone.I have lazy patcher and twrp installed in my phone.How to switch back to stock rom without relocking my bootloader since root access is very imp. for me.
Thank you.
Official unlock is better than unofficial unlock.. Try to flash latest global stable via MiFlash, and unlock it.. If 50% error appear, try to flash global beta and then unlock again..

Hi, according to this thread
Cofface is not recommended for unofficial unlocked bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67505475&postcount=2
Yet cofface is required for flashing to marshmallow roms. So can I get some confirmation here if it can be used for unofficially unlocked bootloader?

you may want to use the "safe twrp" version. its a variant of coface which ensures you dont flash the emmc file. however since you have CM13 which has its own firmware files.. i think you should go the EDL method and use the patched emmc file. refer this http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html

Yet he also mentions
Cofface TWRP : Google Drive Link

• Patches boot.img automatically, no need to flash UBP Zip after flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.
• Users with official unlocked bootloader can use this TWRP tp flash custom ROMs as well MIUI ROM Zips.
• Users with unofficial unlocked bootloader should strictly not use this TWRP for flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.

Indeed it is very confusing with various twrp's around..I wish there was only one CWM or TWRP which could flash any rom..
TBH I have also officially unlocked BL, but looking @ various threads daily I am yet to flash TWRP..
It's very confusing & afraid that I would brick my device..:crying:

There is a MM specific emmc file (patched)..look for that on miui forums and follow the steps . I can send you the link later. It will still be unlocked since you are using a patched file. But u will lose your recovery since you are flashing everything stock. So you got to flash safe twrp again after flashing the rom through fastboot. It's just like flashing the LL rom but with a different emmc file.
Alternatively you could use safe twrp as well but I am not 100℅ confident since MM has different firmware/ partitions so I dont know if it will work or not. There are too many users reporting various issues such as bootloop, no sim detection etc etc.
If any experienced user can write a detailed guide for upgrading from miui LL to MM on unofficial unlock using safe twrp, that will be great. Until then use EDL (but backup ALL partitions using Alka twrp before you start)

Hi, so I take the it steps are similar to edl method you posted earlier except that I have to replace the emmc patched files with mm version instead and start flashing the MM miui v8 rom.
I'd appreciate if you could share the link since I'm not sure where to find it.

try instal firmware 14.1 kenzo first before rom and gapps
Update your fw, the one in the official thread suffice in my experience.

Most ROMs only works with firmware 7.5.4 - 7.6.7(7.6.8 on Kate).
If you've installed MIUI(or firmware) 7.6.15(.22) or Stable 8.5.1.0, it won't work. Simply flash any firmware between 7.5.4 and 7.6.7 for it to work.

You need an unlocked bootloader and TWRP to flash custom ROMs.
Right now most Roms now works even with latest firmware.
I didn't quite get your second question.
Officially unlocked bootloader: Flash Official TWRP

If you face the same problem after flashing the latest firmware just update your official TWRP recovery to the latest one or use redwolf TWRP recovery
All the files are extracted from stock official Samsung firmware releases.
Take the file that suits you best, only for your device variant.
Read carefully the instructions. I am not responsable for anything you do with your device.
Prerequisites:
download Odin v3.13.1
download and install Samsung Drivers (if you have them installed you can skip this step)
download BL (bootloader) and CP (modem) for your device variant.
Instructions:
Switch off the phone
Use Home+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to usb
Open Odin and untick autoreboot in "options" tab. Also make sure that your device is detected
Put BL_*.tar.md5 file into BL tab
Put CP_*.tar.md5 file into CP tab
Click Start
Wait 1 min and manually reboot your phone into Download mode using Home+Volume Down+Power buttons, but when the warning appears, hit volume down (Cancel-restart the device)
Use Phone INFO app to check if update was succesful.
If it didn`t worked, redo the steps from #1 more careful this time.
Downloads:
MEGA
Latest Oreo releases:
*based on build date/changelist
A320F - BL_A320FXXU3CRD4 and CP_A320FXXU3CRD3
A320FL - BL_A320FLXXU2CRE1 and CP_A320FLXXU2CRD3
A520F - BL_A520FXXU4CRF1 and CP_A520FXXU4CREH
A520K - BL_A520KKKU2CRD8 and CP_A520KKKU2CRD6
A520L - BL_A520LKLU2CRD7 and CP_A520LKLU2CRD6
A520S - BL_A520SKSU2CRD7 and CP_A520SKSU2CRD6
A520W - BL_A520WVLU2CRF2 and CP_A520WVLU2CRF2
A720F - BL_A720FXXU3CRF3 and CP_A720FXXU3CRE2
A720S - BL_A720SKSU2BRE1 and CP_A720NKOU2BRE1
For some of the devices you can find Nougat bootloader and modem as well, will try to add for all of them depending on the time i have.
If i forgot a device/firmware version, tell me and i will try to add it.
Feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work
Questions and answers:
Q: Should i install latest bootloader/modem? Why?
A: Yes, bootloader and modem usually can contain security patches, hotfixes, modem improvements and even more, so it should bring general improvement
Q: What to do if odin refuses to flash the files?
A: Check if you downloaded proper package for your phone variant, check if downloaded files have tar.md5 extension, check if the phone is detected by Odin, check if you have the specific Odin package from the Mega folder, it has support for new lz4 format included by Samsung.
Q: New bootloader and modem caused me x issue(s), how can i fix it?
A: You can always flash older/newer bootloader and modem and see if the issue is fixed.
Q: My phone doesn't recognise the sim inserted, i have no baseband in settings and no imei, what to do?
A: Make sure the bootloader/modem installed is the proper one according to android version of firmware installed on the phone. (Nougat bl and cp for nougat roms / Oreo bl and cp for Oreo roms)
Q: Loading
A: Loading

As i said in Q/A, you should update them, this can only bring general improvement, usually they contain hotfixes, security patches, nothing that can harm your device.

You can't use oreo modem and bootloader on nougat. Flash them only if you'll update to any oreo rom.

You won't have imei/baseband/cell connection in oreo with nougat bootloader/modem.
Cell standby drain is there in more devices, just search on google "oreo cell standby drain" and you'll see that even op has that. It's not related to modem/bootloader as i ported oreo to J5 2017 which still has nougat modem and bootloader, cell standby drain is there too. So it must be build related, reports are all over, people wrote to samsung, hopefully they'll patch that in the future, for us only left to test every oreo fw release to see if that fixes.
Personal advice, use more wifi, data will disconnect and won't drain while on wifi.

@corsicanu bro, maybe I didn't flash this before that's why I'm having some problems in my cellular data. Need to test this first. I forgot to check my previous bootloader and modem before. But it came from the stock rom of oreo (Samsung A720F) I'll give you updates. Asap.
