I know people have struggled to track this ROM down so here you all go. Separate files all Odin-flashable. The AP is zipped because it halves the size. Just unzip and good to go.

Folder contains

AP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 *.zip

Somehow I can't flash these files through Odin?

Any suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wowimjohnjohn:
I have been trying all day and hope these files work. but my hopes are slim. I almost feel as if I'm doing something wrong.

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Do I have to flash all the files at once or one by one or just the AP file. I have been trying all day to get the Firmwear flashed but it fails every time. I have never ran into this problem before.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdrazen:
Hi there, if i flash this rom may i be able to use with any network? right now i am sin locked
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dazed No More:
All at once, but apparently you cannot downgrade. I spent hours trying to flash PF1 from multiple sources and always failed on flashing boot but then I tried flashing PL1 for the heck of it and it worked like a charm the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] EpicSaga:
How do you flash them all at once? Do you use Odin 3.12.3? Is there a certain order that the files should be in? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dazed No More:
All at once. Just look at the filenames and load each in the appropriate slot.

Example:-

AP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 *.zip goes in AP slot

BL_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 goes go in BL slot

CP_G550T1UVU1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 goes in CP slot

CSC_TMK_G550T1TMK1APF1_CL8180604_QB9902404_REV00_u ser_low_ship.tar.md5 goes in CSC slot

[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dazed No More:
The only thing you are doing wrong is skipping over the posts that explain you cannot downgrade to APF1, it will not physically let you. Other than that you are doing everything right.

Look at the firmware you are trying to flash. It ends with PF1....the firmware that succeeds it is PL1 and after that in not sure. Once you update from PF1 to another firmware you can never downgrade back to PF1, but you can downgrade from other more recent firmwares to PL1, why I am not sure.

Ah, ok seems simple enough. Would you still happen to have your PL1 files that you can upload?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dazed No More:
No that was a long time ago....may I ask why you want to flash old firmware? It will prompt you to update to the newest anyways as soon as you boot up the phone so it seems counter productive...

My SM-G550T1 current build : MMB29K.G550T1UVU2AQC4

As above (and FYI), my SM-G550T1 current build is MMB29K.G550T1UVU2AQC4. I'm just a novice and rooting/unlocking/flashing my first android. Do I need a copy of the stock ROM or will my Nandroid backup suffice? If so, I understand that the PL1 version is ok for my to use if need be. I guess the PL1 version is here on this site somewhere or I can Google it?

Thanks for all your attentiveness and insight....I would have been right among those flashing myself into a veritable slap-happy dither had I not benefited from the prior posts.

The PL1 firmware. Let me know if the link dies, and I'll put it back up. I have it downloaded. I refuse to let anyone have to deal with this ****ery ever again. I had a phone sitting for like 5 months on my computer and it is now fixed. If you couldn't get anything to work, try it again.

i've been having to do this repeatedly and trying to learn (with the self defeating goal of not feeling I have time to find proper dox for odin goal is a proper solution to the space issue. kind of got roped into this phone due to my last g3 catching on fire (literally) and struggling with it, its like they intentionally crippled a really decent phone in a few spots. Anyways, appreciate those roms and im trying to remember the name of the program I found that works alot better than samsungs apps with the carrier specific on5's that it appears are not at all supported by samsung. Im in canuckistan and they just started showing up here super cheap brand new t-mobiles mine is a metropcs but unlocked and every one ive taken a look at and mine were unlocked in a maner that left them a little bit trashed everything worked better after I flashed what I got from you (was so tired dont remember what combo of settings makes the sboot issue worse but I am fairly sure I fixed it with a really hard-found link to a little app SamFirm_v0.3.6.zip that found me the peice missing that was causing something to intermittently fail and drive me insane but sorry about no link or even if was from xda. hella useful tho

Dear MR Zealotz,

Please, do your custom ROM contain The necessary kernel device drivers for phone chipsets such as sound or WIFI? I do not see it at all and I have wanted to reflash Samsung G550T1 Metro US by using its original firmware for the USA. But unfortunately, I have very probably downloaded the wrong firmware from The following link.

Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-G550T1) Firmware / Flashfile / Stock ROM - | Cestin.net

Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-G550T1) firmware Download,With this Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-G550T1) flash file / Firmware / stock rom you can fix stuck at samsung or logo and bootloop, fix dead mobile,

cestin.net

I have used the latest Odin but Odin could not write the boot file. I have a god error write failed. As A result, after I have rebooted my Phone, I AM getting an error that I must use Smart switch emergency recovery because the system update has not been applied correctly. Fortunately for Me, I can still access The download Mode. Do you think, that your firmware could be stored on my phone flash chips correctly? Or do you think, that I have damaged internal flash chips and I can not repair them by using software modules anymore?

Thank you very much for your help.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] McNutnut:
I've put together some stock flashable TWRP zips which will install firmwares for the US996. Since this is a TWRP flashable ZIP this assumes you've already got access to TWRP. I use these to update or restore the stock image easily. Wiping data so far has not been required but if you experience issues you may want to consider it.

These zips flash every partition included in the latest firmware. If you want to err on the safe side (which is what I do before testing these) you could dump images of you current partitions to roll back to in case of an issue. (dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/{partition} of=/external_sd/backup/{partition}.img). You'll find all partitions in the updater-script.

SPL = Security Patch Level

Instructions:

Boot into TWRP ("reboot recovery" from shell)

Put us99610*.zip onto /external_sd/

TWRP -> Install -> /external_sd/us99610*.zip

Install your desired root: Magisk or SuperSU

TWRP -> Reboot -> System

Your device may reboot a couple times and this is normal. You will then boot into the system.

What does it do?

Flashes partition images (skipping recovery) from the kdz - http://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us996-firmwares/

Moves /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.bak to prevent stock recovery from being installed on boot

Wipes cache & dalvik-cache

Note

These firmwares are a mix between USA (Unlocked US996), UCL (US Cellular), and BPT (Brightpoint) but have not had problems running cross-variants. However, one thing I'd like to point out is an issue I saw reported by another user. They stated that after they flashed US Cellar US996 updates (10h/10k/10l) their Unlocked US996 device was being picked up as the US Cellular device when attempting to use the LG website bootloader unlock. This is most likely due to the US Cellular bootloader being flashed and the device reporting a US Cellular device ID. This hasn't caused any issues when your device has already been bootloader-unlocked but I would not suggest that users re-lock their bootloader when running this US Cellular firmware as you may risk running into problems unlocking. The same user had also reported that they just flashed the 10f kdz with LGUP to correct the problem but not a risk I'd like to see anyone take. Just a word of caution.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeston:
Thanks for this! Just curious, is there an actual reason we would need to format data and factory reset? Isn't this just basically the same as updating, just more manually than taking the OTA? Like the same as extracting factory images and manually flashing them on Nexus devices?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] McNutnut:
I'm just not sure that if during the OTA update there are special steps to migrate data to be compatible with the new firmware. To err on the safe side I just suggested you format. Considering it's 7.0 -> 7.0 I don't see why there would be an issue leaving your data in place so if anyone tries it, definitely report back! I personally like starting fresh slate when upgrading.

Awesome... since I'm new here, may I ask if there's anything that a KDZ can do that this can't? Other than "prepare the phone for a warranty return" or "sell on Swappa as stock" ??? As you know from the other thread... I'm trying to recover from some problems I was having, and I suspect that I have some corruption. I need to burn it down and hope it rises from the ashes.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] McNutnut:
There are three files in the KDZ which aren't used in the zip: "BackupGPT", "PrimaryGPT", and "recovery". The first two appear to be the partition table structure and the last being the stock recovery. So if your partition layout got messed up, LGUP+KDZ would be able to fix that where the zip won't. I don't know for sure what else LGUP has to offer on top of that, but from what it sounds like, LGUP + KDZ can restore a bricked phone to stock. I've never had to use LGUP myself...fortunately.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrPhant0m:
What are the MD5 hashes of the zip files? I downloaded the US996-10h file, and tried to flash it, and TWRP says it's invalid. Did I do something wrong?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] McNutnut:
I've got an MD5 of 9516ecc55cc3b167154ab184fb419c4b on 10h. I went ahead and downloaded the file from the link and it matches the source file I uploaded. Possibly a bad download? Give it another shot if the MD5 doesn't match. If it does match...let me know ha.

CONFIRMED! successfully flashed your US996-10h package, followed by Magisk 11.6 and it's booted and rooted! thanks for all your work and help! btw, Magisk v13.0 (0b4baad) also works in case anyone was curious. 12.0 seems to be fscked for all LGV20...
