Why we need this ? :
It can be difficult to update firmware for custom ROM users since only the stock ROM contain it.
Is it risky to flash firmwares?
Yes. Firmware partitions are critical partitions and flashing it wrong or modifying this zip can lead to bricks that will only be solved by service centres.
Code:
Thus, a mandatory warning that i wont be responsible for any damages caused by the firmwares to your device and you will flash so on your own risks.
Which devices does it support ?
ONLY Realme XT (All variants) - Although i make the firmware with Indian updates.
When would you need to flash this?
Every time it's updated and whichever firmware the custom ROM supports. Although all custom ROMs are android 10 based now and you would be safe using any firmware only zip from C01 to C<whatever>.
Do i need to flash vbmeta?
No, the flashable zip already has it and it flashes disabled vbmeta on its own.
Does it contain kernel
Maybe. The older ones until the C05 update has stock kernel. I will be removing boot.img and dtbo.img from the zip from C06 onwards since accidentally booting with stock kernel can break encryption and destroy internal data since our custom kernel is way ahead of stock.
How do i make this zip myself?
If you aren't sure what you are doing, please avoid trying to make flashable zips for realme devices. Because, realme encrypts the firmwares and if you don't decrypt the firmware before flashing, it can cause a hard brick.
In brief, you simply decrypt the stock_update.ozip with bkerler's oppo_decrypt tool and replace the updater binary with pie ones. The reason why we replace the updater binary with pie ones is because the stock android 10 binary has decryptor built in whereas the pie ones does not. About what images to include, the zip itself is self explanatory.

The current firmware is tested and reported working on EU devices. But flash it at your own risk.
I just did the update to crDroid 6.9 with the latest frimware (C06) on my EU device and can confirm it works.
Thanks a lot!

I flashed the F06 firmware and discovered that it overwrote the TWRP recovery I had earlier and I can't flash the latest one over it, simply doesn't boot. So I'm now stuck with the TWRP recovery that's bundled with F06 firmware. The device model name has been changed to nicky, instead of rmx1921 like before. Which maybe the reason official TWRP images don't work anymore.

Hello
Please help, I'm looking in the topic of the latest bootloader and modem for android 7.0 and so it can be installed via ODIN ..
I found something myself but it does not work and I do not know if it is the latest one, please help.
N920C
What variant do you have? I have the N920i. If I knew how to grab the latest bootloader/modem I'd totally do it for you.
I don't think the bootloader's changed since MM!?
Either way, download a rom from Samdroid. But be warned, to get root - you may need to unlock the bootloader in settings and flash twrp.
I need a file to install in ODIN
I would just like to know what would happen if i tried restoring a backed up version of the stock modem that come with my phone through TWRP. would it be safe or would i have a bricked phone by the end of it?
hi,
though I'm not experienced with that, it appears to be safe to restore a modem at the Redmi Note 4X.
Unsure about Redmi 4X but I'm interested too.
edit: there's already a discussion about flashing modems at XDA unter FIRMWARES:

What is unsafe is having a Marshmallow firmware for a Nougat ROM and up, if you plan to use Nougat or newer I'd recommend flashing 37_PA, the newest firmware from Global Dev MIUI, firmwares should be always universal unless it's noted, some MIUI update also comes with a firmware, if you see some Nougat ROM they'll ask you to update to a newer firmware if you were on Marshmallow, which is why MIUI 8 (MM) to 9 (N) will also update your firmware
TLDR; if your backed up firmware is from Marshmallow and your ROM is Nougat or newer no it's not safe, otherwise everything is good, if you want to update firmware just flash the boot.img from TWRP
hey thatnks much imma check it out
alright ill try this out as well thank you
Hi I have a xt1803 G5S Plus, retgb and have recently unlocked bootloader and rooted my stock ROM which is NPSS26.116-26-14.
I have noticed there are higher version numbers available like NPS26.116-61. How do I go about having the latest stock ROM with twrp and root access? I'm guessing the stock ROMs are not flashable via twrp. Would I have to flash the latest stock ROM via ADB like it explained here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...lash-official-firmware-moto-g5s-plus-t3681018
and then unlock bootloader again, flash twrp etc like starting from scratch?
I honestly would not recommend flashing NPS26.116-61 to your device. Despite the version number being higher, that firmware is actually for a different region (I think NPS26.116-61 series firmwares are for India and Indonesia, whereas the NPS26.116-26 series is for EU/UK). If you flash that, you may find yourself ineligible for OTA updates at all, since your build does not match that expected by the stock OTA servers, and if there are incompatibilities between the firmwares - since they are for different regions - you may have issues with IMEI/SIM access.
If you wanted to update though, you'd have to follow the steps in that guide. Though I don't have a G5S Plus, you would have to remove TWRP/root through a stock ROM flash (no need to re-lock bootloader), then update via OTA, then flash TWRP and re-root. If you can find a stock ROM with the same firmware build as you have now, you may be able to preserve your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command from the stock ROM flash commands, but I would recommend you have a backup (e.g. TWRP backup) before flashing anything.
There's a copy of the NPSS26.116-26-18 stock ROM (June 2018 stock ROM) here, flash at your own risk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77025728&postcount=507 This build was released as an OTA update to retgb devices as reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/8w0c0c/june_patch_now_available_on_retgb/
Please some body tell what is firmware.
Can i flash it over a custom rom
Cause i have downloaded a latest firmware which is about "48 mb" in size.
Or
I may drop the idea of flashing the firmware.

Hello, dear fellow 8i-Users!
I got this device just a few days ago. It is running on A32 global firmware and wasn't offered an OTA update.
So far, I have unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP, following the guide provided here.
As I like my phones to be encrypted, I guess I will stay with stock firmware so far. I'm finding it a bit sad though that I wasn't offered an OTA update and therefore am stuck with security patches dated back to November 2021.
Therefore my question: Does anyone happen to have decrypted versions of a newer version of global firmware? And if so: Is it possible to dirty flash these in TWRP?
Thank you!
Cheers,
VV

I doubt it will be possible to flash full ROM through TWRP unless you prepare extra files (like scripts which do the actual work).
Anyway you can decrypt the official firmware (the ones in OFP-format) by youself and flash it with SPFlashTool.
Here are few hints for you:
Download the version you like from here.
Decrypt it with oppo_decrypt
Merge super.img for the region you need (refer to super_map.csv to find out which parts need to be merged; refer to this comment for instructions)
Flash with SPFlashTool in Download Only mode (refer to this guide)
