Hello everybody, I will be getting this phone next month and look forward to expanding this thread to cover more than just firmware and odin. I have made a few guides and have been told on how easy it is to understand and follow compared to others. With that in mind I figured I would just nip this in the butt right now before someone beats me to the punch.

Other than odin I will also for sure be making a back to pure untouched stock for twrp which will flash the following stock images: system, kernel, modem, recovery and if we never see a locked bootloader rpm. This will have to wait until I have the phone because I refuse to make work public unless I have tested it on myself first.

Other than this first part of the op, it should stay more or less the same for the next month. reply #1 will have a sandbox for the future of the op then it will turn into a spot to post answers to commonly asked questions.

Tell me if you think I should add a newer version of odin. I have trusty 3.07 linked but am willing to add whatever version is wanted.

Upgrade/Downgrade with Odin
