When installing firmware is necessary?

I see some people recommending each other installing firmware packages (3.5.5 in most cases) and I just wonder what's the point of this? I've installed official snapshot of CM13 right after unboxing of my OP3 and now I'm confused - did I make it right? Maybe I should first update OxygenOS and THEN install CM13? Or maybe I should flash 3.5.5 firmware zip over the CyanogenMod right now?
Thanks for explain in advance.

You don't have to update OxygenOS before CM, so you did it right! (But at least in some versions of CM14.1 it is required to have OxygenOS 3.2.6 or newer to work.)
3.5.5 is just a community build based on OxygenOS.

Interesting! I did flash MC13 without even knowing that i needed 3.2.6 lol it worked just fine and i have flashed MC14.1 a few times... Once you got MC13 installed going back to stock really really sucks!!!

How can I check my firmware version? (Lineage OS)

Currently using Lineage OS 14.1 on Mi5s.
I have checked in Settings > About Phone and in Kernel Toolkit but cannot seem to find it anywhere.
It's not urgent but it would be ideal in the event that I forget the last firmware I have flashed.
Thanks for reading.

Just flash the latest firmware and forget about it for few months lol.

In one of his threads Luk1337 posted a method for checking the firmware/modem version. I can't find it now, but it was there.

I fresh installed LOS a few days ago on Xiaomi sweet. Used firmware 14. Now the developer suggests using firmware 13. Can I just flash it when the LOS ROM is configured?
Will flashing firmware mess with a ROM?
Will installing fw13 after fw14 work or this is a one-way route?
Thanks.

Is it major difference between rmx2061 vs rmx2063 software?

Hi all, anybody knows what is the difference between 2061 and 2063, is it worth updating to 2061 when it is 2063

UPD. Found that 2063 is 2061EU, updated last, everything perfect

Need more informations about the two
I am in the same situation.
Got my RMX2063 device not long and i purchased the International Version.
Is there a way to check what is flashed at the moment on it? International or EU OS?
Curently it is saying RMX2063_A_35
Is the RMX2061EU better?
Have not found any clear information about the two, so can someone come with some good informations?
I found out that Realme Flash Tool works great to flash stock ROM or downgrade to previous versions. it can flash zip, ozip and gsi file formats for OS.

From little search on web, it seems like each firmware version was made for particular region. This means particular things will work better with firmware made for your particular area. So why to risk spoiling things by installing firmware made for another region?

I am trying to flash EU Firmware https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/RMX2061EU_11_OTA_0380_all_EIeguy5zqMib.ozip on RMX2061
Currently, my device is RMX2061_11_A.41
Have anyone tried this?

Hi. It's been a long time since I did this.)
But, I remember exactly, that when version RMX2063 was indicated on the phone - I manually updated it with version RMX2061EU - then all following updates were stable over the air.
The update file was taken from this site (https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update) of the European region. Unfortunately, as of now, it does not seem to be up to date, but you can still try to install the version from this site, and after installing it, request an update over the air. There is a chance that the OTA update will start working.
If it helps, I saw another site (https://realmefirmware.com/realme-firmware-update/#google_vignette) with different versions, but I didn’t try to figure needed version out. Maybe it could be useful.
Good luck!

While I don't have it, if you're having issues, you could always try going to 11.2.2.2 instead?

OnePlus 9 kernel sources are here.
Or use payload_dumper to extract kernel from a full OTA

Great to share. I'm just wondering what OP needs it for so that we may be able to better assist if this doesn't resolve the possible issue they may be having.

Thank You, for the payload dumper much appreciated.

I think OP meant to ask for Stock boot image for Global 11.2.1.1 AA.
My 9 Pro too stuck on this Build, due to Fastboot Flashed a supposed to be global version of the stock boot image(Most likely it's not Global version, ,maybe EU). Not able to OTA update since then, until Oneplus post FULL ROM on the support page, Global 11.2.1.1 AA stock boot image might be our(whoever lost their Global 11.2.1.1 AA stock boot image) only chance to get the system updates installed.

Check my thread here:
[Solution] Installation Failed - Cannot Update / Try Again on OOS 11.2 Global
If you are having the cannot update issue and have the global variant of the OP9 Pro, you probably had flashed the EU (or other / wrong software version) boot.img. If your software version is anything other than 11.2, (including 11.2.1.1) you...

You just need a global boot image from 11.2.1.1. Ask around.
