[G920I] Bootloader & Modem (Updated 10/10)

FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I am not responsible for this damaging your device in any way. These bootloaders & modems are ONLY FOR THE G920I.

I've realized that there was no thread available with up to date downloads on G920I bootloaders. So I've created this thread. I will be regularly updating this thread with the latest bootloaders/modems for the G920I model of the Galaxy S6. So I hope this helps my fellow g920i users! :)

FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS

How-to Install:

You can do this procedure any time and it won't wipe anything from your device! You will keep your current ROM, Kernel & Recovery after flashing this.

Do exactly step-by-step the following things:
- Unplug your Phone (IMPORTANT!)
- Turn your Phone completely off (This is IMPORTANT)
- Start your Phone in download mode on this way: Press Vol down + Home + Power button till the screen turns on, press Vol Up to continue (Only enter download mode on this way, otherwise it won't work!!)[/B]
- Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC (Make sure you're using this version of Odin, other versions won't work correctly maybe!)
- Click on the 'BL' button, and load in your BOOTLOADER tar.md5 file for your model
- Click on the 'CP' button, and load in your MODEM tar.md5 file for your model
- DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE (you can brick your phone if you choose other settings in Odin)
- Now Connect your phone to your computer (DO NOT connect your phone before this step, otherwise it won't work!)
- Click on the Start button
- Wait till it finish flashing.
- Your phone reboots automatically after flashing.
- Always check after flashing: Settings -> About device -> Baseband; that should show the same modem build number noted as here.
And also check if the bootloader got flashed correctly by downloading an AndroidTerminal app, and enter this command: getprop ro.boot.bootloader


Big thanks to Mentalmuso for his help, be sure to check out his WETA rom! And also the odin flashing instructions are borrowed from edgarf28's post.

Xtrestolite on G920I 5.1.1 Stock without Knox Trip?

Hi,

I'm wanting to flash the Xtrestolite ROM on my G920I with stock 5.1.1. After reading through a lot of the post containing the rom, it seems like people are saying as long as you don't change the bootloader, your knox counter won't be tripped. Is that true or am I not understanding? If there is a way to flash Xtrestolite without tripping knox, can someone please give me a quick rundown so I don't accidentally trip knox? I'll be starting from a stock g920i with android 5.1.1.

On a side note, I want the fingerprint scanner to work under Xtrestolite but that looks like it's available in the addon package.

Thanks!
