Hey so im pretty new to rooting and all. I know that having the proper TWRP recovery image is important and you need the right build number.
Phone model: SM-A505FN
My build number: QP1A.190711.020.A505FNXXS5BTJ4
Android version: 10
I realize maybe its not available yet because the BTJ4 is from the new security patch firmware that was rolled out 1st of November. So maybe it is not available yet? Or maybe its possible to use a different TWRP.
Anyone have the Recovery image of TWRP for this build number or know a compatible one?
Thanks in advance!

Hello guys, i was gone for a while because i was studying and now i'd like to update my phone.
I opened samsung Kies and i saw there is an update available.
Current Version: PDA:NK1/PHONE:NK1/CSC:NK1 (EUR)
Latest Version: PDA:NK4/PHONE:NK4/CSC:NL1 (EUR)
Which android version is the latest from above? Is it Lolipop? If not, how can i install the official Lolipop firmware? Also, my phone is rooted and after the update id like to do it again. I have the LTE model (i9195).
My device has android 4.4.2 installed.

I dont think official lollipop is /will be available for any of the galaxy s4 mini models. I would advise you to go to sammobile.com and look for the latest firmware for your device(Region specific) and download it. It will be the latest one and it will also serve as a backup official firmware. There after you can root your device(or do any other experiments for that matter), if something goes wrong there is a backup to fall back on.
I have a Nexus 7 2013 WiFi (Flo) of build number LMY48G currently running 5.1.1. I would like to flash Marshmallow but after some searching I am getting the impression this isn't possible for my build number.
No 6.0.0. image is listed on the official Google images page or on this list compiled here on XDA. However on another Google site, it lists "Nexus 7 (flo/deb)" of build numbers MRA58K and MRA58N having Marshmallow compatibility.
Am I correct in understanding that I cannot flash an image made for MRA58K/MRA58N on my LMY48G because of underlying hardware differences, and that there is no image available for my build? Will this brick my device?
I appreciate the advice, this is only my second time flashing a device and I just got this tablet and dont' want to brick it
LMY48G is just a build number for one of the official lollipop firmware for Flo. There is nothing stopping you from flashing the latest Marshmallow firmware. Just make sure you flash the correct version as there is a 3G (Mobile) version as well. From what you are saying you have the WIFI version for which the latest Marshmallow build is MRA58V.
Please read thoroughly on how to flash official firmware before you do so. It seem to me you may not be very confident in doing this.

Thank you, yes I am using the WiFi version. And you are correct, this is only the second time I've flashed a ROM and the first time was Cyanogenmod with an automatic loader. I will definitely educate myself before proceeding...:good:

Are there any restrictions on downgrading if I upgrade to the latest Android 6.01 release?

They're telling you a load of tosh, you can downgrade to whatever you want.
You can back up with TWRP then restore or flash the stock firmware.
Also the MM bootloader is backwards compatible with lollipop.
Yup in case of this tablet... yes you can downgrade... the bored thing is you need to do full wipe of your device.
Hi all
I'm currently on:
Android Version 5.0.2
ViperOneM8 4.6.1
Kernel Version 3.4.0 ElementalX-m8-4.05-Sense
Baseband Version 1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_f
Build Number 1.40.401.8 CL549783 Release-keys
TWRP Version 2.8.7.0
I'm in the UK and i know that the device is unlocked to all networks so my question is:
(How can i get my device back to complete factory standard with the latest android version available and also unlocked)
PS: Its been so long since I've flashed a custom rom and kernel that unfortunately I've gone to the complete noob cave
If anyone can also point me to the exact files that i require it would be a great help too, And many many thanks in advance.

Hello together,
I'm currently using AlexisROM (Android 10) and want to try Noble ROM (Android 11) on my Galaxy S9 (G960F). On the how-to theres a point regarding kernel and bootloader: "4. Update your MODEM AND BOOTLOADER BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM".
Can someone explain me what that mean in detail for my S9? How can I find the latest Bootloader and Kernel?
My current software details:
Baseband: G960FXXUFFUE1
Kernel: 4.9.118-21637096
Build: AR2.7.1_G960FXXUFFUE1
Thanks in advanced.

The modem ( CP ) and bootloader ( BL ) comes with your firmware
If your on latest stock firmware then you have the latest version of everything
If on a different rom then flash latest stock rom

Thanks for your reply. I will do that.
Assume that the manufacturer no longer provides firmware updates. Assuming the last update came along with Android 10.
Can I also install newer, custom ROMs with this latest Android (e.g. with Android 11 or soon also Android 12) or what must then be done to ensure that the latest BL and CL are in place?

Samsung devices i believe only get two majors updates to the OS ie: 8 ( original )-9-10. So android version 10 will be the latest that you get, any updates after that will be minor and security.
As for customs roms you will have to look in the rom section for more information.
The latest firmware is G960FXXUGFUG4 ( android 10 ). If you do a full flash you will have to start from scratch again. ie: unlock bootloader, flash twrp etc
