S8+ update G955USQU5DRL5 to DRL7 - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
I have a S8+ from T-Mobile currently with DRL5 firmware. Updated from recovery mode " Install update from SD", now I don't know how to upgrade to DRL7 ( 2nd Pie beta) . I've been looking and everything I found is CRL1 to DTL7 ..... How can I install DRL7 if currently running DRL5?? Can I upgrade from DRL5 to DRL7? Is that possible??
Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks guys!!

Flash to CRK1 then upgrade to DRL7.
You cannot go straight to DRL7 from DRL5. You must flash back using modded Odin first to CRK1.

rooting my S5 with new Marshmallow update

I have a S5 with the new Marshmallow update via the Telus network in Canada. I had root for the Lollipop but took it out so I could update without problems. Lo and behold the Marshmallow update went in without a hitch but when I tried to flash TWRP with ODIN it didn't work. Am I missing something or does rooting the Marshmallow update require a new TWRP version? I used TWRP and SUPER SU last time to root Lollipop and al I did was put SUPER SU in a folder and flashed TWRP and then installed SUPER SU with TWRP and I was rooted. I just want the easiest step by step way to root my S5 again with the Marshmallow update. My provider is Telus from Canada.
Which model S5?
Unless MM locked your bootloader, TWRP 3.0.0.0 and SuperSU 2.71 beta are what I used to root MM
ODIN 3.10.7

SM-G900W8VLU1DPD3 Baseband Version Model #SM-G900W8 Build# MMB29M.G900W8VLU1DPD3 These are all the pertinent numbers. Do you have the steps needed to unlock and then ROOT. I'm not sure if the bootloader is locked. Hopefully you can help me get rooted again.

I wasn't thinking when I first read your post. If you"re looking for the MM Firmware I think I have what you are after. I got it from the S Mobile site, so if the guys don't mind me posting it with this reply here it is. I just tried to upload it and it's too big so if you have a way please tell me how and I'll get it to you. Even zipped it's like 1.2 GB.

Upgrading to EMUI 5 from a custom EMUI 4 ROM??

Can anybody explain to me or point me in the right direction to upgrade my firmware to EMUI5? I can't figure it out and it's killing me. I'm currently running a melticulus RR install which has recently started playing up so I want to upgrade to a 7.0 ROM and to do that, I apparently need to upgrade my firmware to EMUI5
Thanks
Use firmware finder

Hello,
Yes man you need to do that..
I'm on EliteRom by HassanMirza and as you came from RR MM 6.0.1 whit Meticulus Recovery TWRP-3.0.2.0-hi6250-v4.zip.
So i hope you've done your Dump backup+Nandroid backup as explained as well.
Starting from here u need to follow steps in the Meticulus site in the FAQ section of TWRP download page.
Well done.. now flash the Stock Recovery and let it upgrade..
Enjoy

Way to get official firmware updates or manual update required?

Hello XDA!
I've rooted my phone (the J5) about a week ago after finally deciding it might just help me to some extent.
Well, then I realized I'm still on Android 6.0 and updating obviously doesn't work.
This brings up multiple questions for me:
Is there any way to get the official update?
OR do I have to download it myself and flash it on?
Can I flash Android 7.1 on it without bricking the phone or losing all data?
Can I flash any firmware (or firmware updates) without losing any data?
If anyone could answer my questions, I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

You can't update your phone OTA whule it's rooted. If you want the new 7.1.1 stock you must flash it manualy over odin. If your phone is on stock 6.0.1 the manual flash will not erase any of your data or apps. If you are on a custom rom then it wil erase data. When you install nougat it will be unrooted and with stock recovery.

I understand that, but will it brick the phone or erase the data? The J5 is certainly not made for Android N.

I've used the CF AutoRoot package for the root. Does CF-AR install a custom ROM?
Thanks for the answers.

What version of the J5 2016 do you have? Only install 7.1.1 manualy on the J510FN.
A custom ROM is a software installed over a custom recovery that is totaly different from the stock rom.

Alright, I've got a J500FN, so the dream of Android N is gone.
I didn't use a custom recovery, I used Samsung's Download mode.
This is it. Thanks for your help, ya'll. I'm gonna upgrade to 6.0.1 manually now.

There is no official Nougat for your device, so don't ever try to install tge J510FN version ?????
But there is a ported stock nougat rom for your device on the J5 2015 ROMs section

Stock Firmware for SM-T350

Can anyone provide a link to the stock firmware for this device? I was trying to downgrade the tablet from 7.1.1 to 6.x and it got stuck somewhere. I'm trying to revert back to stock firmware 7.1.1.
Thank you!!!
Edit: I’ve also flashed both XAR and XAC versions with Odin and always fails to write to the device.
