Read that already. Im gonna try to download the firmware at sammobile so I can extract a stock boot image. Thanks. It is gonna take a while to download. Does magisk convert the stock boot image to ***.tar so it can be flashed with ODIN?

The question is, can we use ATO with TWRP installed?
Only custom roms have OTA available with TWRP installed.

Oxygen Os fails to install the OTA when detected root ot any changes to system patrition, thus you have to wait for the full zip and dirty flash over the existing. Fairly simple.
I can still do a nandroid backup and restore stock OxygenOS, correct?

You can clean flash. It is a full zip. I have restricted access to it now as I don't see anyone getting the OTA. So, it might be a mistake build. Lol.

Hey @gee2012,
I'm on PA's 6.0.1 build right now, looking for a stock OOS ROM, newer the better. Can I flash this zip through TWRP? Just need to get back to stock somehow.
Thankyou.

No, you need to flash the stock recovery.img in fastboot first and then you can flash the zip in recovery/flash from local.

I (call me moron) am bricked (TWRP is installed) and looking for stock recovery also. Could someone post it, please? Otherwise I'm unable to flash a stock ROM. (TWRP does flash it, but after that it says "No OS installed".)
At least I have to wait for my new SIM cards for a few days anyway, so... never mind...

At least you have a problem that can be solved I posted a request for the stock recovery.img so maybe will upload it.
lol i guess everyone got excited and just installed TWRP off the bat, now that i have learned to pull .img files, its too late for me since i installed twrp instead of booting up, there has to be someone who had done it, i wonder why no is providing it, its a simple task.

Can anyone prove me marshmallow latest update stock firmware ? MOB31E ?

Can anyone provide me stock firmware. my mobile got stuck on boot animation please help me ?

Well there's no MM based SPFT file, so all you have to do is either flash stock kk/LP using SPFT or if you've twrp installed, boot into TWRP again and wipe everything except SD, flash the MOB31E full stock Rom zip. Link : MOB31E OTA's and flashable zips thread

Hello, please help
The device is canvas a1 and it is fully updated till the last update via OTAs only. I performed factory reset on it. It is now stuck on setup wizard. Not able to skip from there.
I wanted to flash it again.
So, can you please tell if it is OK to flash KK or LP flash files?
(I am asking this because, its BL might have got upgraded in OTA updates and it could be dangerous to downgrade to lower versions by flashing.)

Remove your battery and insert it again, put the device into bootloader mode and unlock it, then you can fastboot the twrp and good to go.

Nothing to worry. Once you get twrp, just clean flash stock lollipop Rom. Don't use SPFT, you gonna brick your phone if something goes wrong wrong. I'll link you LP (flashable via twrp) Rom, tell me when you done.

Hi there
I have the same problem and my phone is stuck at the boot screen.
My phone does not allow me to enable USB debugging and I am really stuck with being able to install TWRP and flash the stock ROM.
I'm incredibly confused and am unsure what I am doing. Attached is a screenshot of the CMD box.
Help and simple instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If one of it's installation steps is to be fully unrooted first and the boot image should be stock.
I already rooted and modified the boot image as for this device we need to flash a file to the boot.img to stop the device from encrypting the internal storage to be able to mount it.
Please Help ...

By Odin flash TWRP, copy the Magisk file to the memory of the phone or to the SD card and Magisk flash by TPWR recovery.
When you restart, install the Magisk manager apk and that's it.

This is normal and it happened because you flashed the AP file only
If you want to get rid of these Russian providers menus and have stock settings menu you need to flash the full rom files (BL+AP+CP+CSC) via Odin.

No you shouldn't get a fail.
If you're encountering any issues in flashing via Odin make sure to use the latest version 3.12.3

im using 3.12.7 and i am already on nougat but i want to flash all the files instead of only AP
is it possbile that it fails because the model number i have a 320FL not the F but i flashed the AP of F on FL it worked but if i want to flash all files it gives fail?

Many people reported that the Russian firmware is working flawlessly on A320FL Model and no one mentioned any issues during the flash process.
For me, first time i flashed the rom the flash progress stopped near the end because i was using the 3.10.7 (not 3.12.7 as you mentioned) version just like you.
After using the 3.12.3 version it worked perfectly.
So you nead to use the latest version of Odin (3.12.3)
Whether this method can be applied in galaxy a7 2017 running in nougat?

How to get to 6.0.1 from 5.0.1

Everything you need is in this thread:

First use Odin to install EQF1. Then if you want the latest security patches, install the updates for EQG1 and EQH1 through recovery.

Return to stock but keep TWRP?

Hi all,
Is there a way to return to stock rom but with TWRP still intact?
The only way I've read of getting back to stock is by flashing using the flashtool, but surely this would overwrite twrp?
Cheers
U can use pre rooted firmware. This tool is great https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904
