Hi, title is explaining all.

I need a bootloader for running custom p601 roms on my p602. CM12 bootloader works on my device, P601 bootloader does not. Is is possible to boot samsung firmwares with CM bootloader. ?

Thanks.

Any advice ? I don't want to brick my device :(
Mate , the worst situation is that you mess up all the partitions which you can fix using the stock pit files ( for which I made a thread ... here ) ... so don't get frightened and try the recover and the ROM ( even in the recovery , you can't install the ROM because the model number differs ... ) also tell me about the nand structure and the CPU and also the Network support ... If everything is the same (esp the CPU and Nand Structure ) it's alright to give it a try but, if not , It's a waste of time to play this ... so , please provide a bit more detail ...

With Best Wishes

Hi guys, thanks for your response :)
Bootloader? I think you mean recovery and no you will brick.
Yes, I can install TWRP and flash custom p601 roms (5.0.1) without a problem. When I flash a 5.1.1 custom rom, it did not. I beleive it is because of the new boot.img of 5.1.1 roms.

It'is identical to SM-P601 variant of note 10.1^2014, Just the RIL part is modified for not to support voice calls, It only use sim to connect network. When I flash p601 roms, I am able to make voice calls. I also make thread about it here. Partitioning is differs from p601 too. It's not the same but similar. One of my friends overwrite the pit with p601 stock roms and bricked the device before. I can boot with cm12 and cm13 roms for p601. But I want to use 5.1.1 stock or stock based roms.

So, if it's this way , give " Binh24 mod " stock 5.1.1 ROM a shot ... Happy Flashing ... :laugh:

I flashed the binh24 mod, but not booted up, not even show samsung logo, just tried to boot and go back to recovery.
You know why ? ( no that's not " Because sky is high !!! " :D ) the reason is that you have the KK Bootloader which causes the problem ... as you know , first you need to flash a P601 firmware to get the new bootloader ( Extremely Important Note !!!! ... Do not even think of ( :eek: ) ticking the " Update bootloader " in the Odin which makes you blame your self later ... !!!! :p the lollipop boot loader is installed by it self ... just do nothing about it ...) try if it get's installed that way ... also take a look at this ... maybe you find it useful ( to convert the P602 to P601 !!! ) Note that I haven't tried it on Lollipop CM or some other ROMs so make a backup first !!! ... If you couldn't install the Odin way , there are other apps and if they failed , then find the Multi-file version of P600 / P601 Lollipop ROM to flash the bootloader part directly ... Good luck :good:
