Flashing Samsung Galaxy

JohnKPro · Mar 22, 2017

Helllo yesterday my samsung galaxy j5 6 updated , at first all seemed fine but i had some problems regarding this upgrade . Some apps that i need running in the background no longer run as soon as i hit home and also magicly 3gb of space has been reserved . I went to sammobile and searched firmware by the model . Is it safe installing the previous formware that worked for me? and also does it really matter flashing a firmware for another country as long as the model is the same? And does this voids my warranty (im flashing a stock rom)

to flash the old firmware, u need to erase the rom (internal memory) and to do that u need custom recovery like twrp. odin cant erase ur internal memory i think. so the moment the service guys see that u have a custom recovery installed, ur warranty is void.
also, u cant flash the firmware of another country coz the radio drivers r different. meaning different countries operate @ different cellular bandwidths.

I cant flash an earlier version of the firmware with odin? (android version is the same) the update was optimization and security update android version remained the same but i really wish to downgrade to the older version

u need to erase before downgrading. otherwise it may lead to file system errors.

Wont factory reset do the trick? by the way thats the rom im aiming for > http://prntscr.com/en70cu

factory reset only erases the user data. it wont erase the system files.
consult xda forum on how to restore ur phone. i use moto. so i dont have much experience with stock roms for samsung. only know abt custom roms in general.

So its a bad idea even if its the same android version?

Lucky_SLS · Mar 22, 2017

yeah, chances of corrupting system files r high if u r dirty flashing an older rom over a new one.

Lucky_SLS :

in short , i have high chances of bootloop or even worse hard brick?

Lucky_SLS · Mar 22, 2017

not hardbricks. maybe not even bootloops. but u may get force closes on apps n random reboots or some apps or features simply wont start due to corrupt files.

Lucky_SLS :

So if i flash it to an earlier rom it will work? also does factory defaults matter at this point

JohnKPro · Mar 22, 2017

Lucky_SLS :

Also does this void the warranty?

Lucky_SLS · Mar 23, 2017

i think u cant go wrong if u have odin n firmwares along with u. just try flashing the rom without wipe. if it works, u r lucky. if not u can wipe n clean flash with odin again. soft bricks r not that big of a deal since u have odin n firmware.
and yes it does void ur warranty.
