Morning guys,
Firstly great work on keeping this site going. I remember the XDA and MDA days, good times. I was a member on here as well as Esato all those years ago, it's great to see a website still going on strong.
Anyway, my issue is I'm trying to update my G901F to a stock 6.0.1 rom from Germany.
EE hasn't released the update in the UK and it doesn't seem like they are going to. Before I order a OnePlus3 I thought I'd see if I can get this updated, perhaps there is life in the old girl yet.
Unfortunately I wasted many hours last night trying to get this on, soft bricking my phone a couple of times in the process. What I gather I need is:
Now I have both of these, but just as the flash seemed to work I got ext4 errors upon re-partition. I tried both Odin 3.0.10 and Odin 3.0.7 with the same result. "file size too big". I tried a couple of different PIT files with the same result. In the end I downloaded an EE PIT file and flashed back to stock 5.0.2 firmware, which sucks, but at least I have a working phone.
The G901F came in two different memory sizes, 16gb and 32gb. Could it be that by sheer bad luck both the PIT files I had downloaded were for 32gb versions? Mine is a 16gb model.
Does anyone on here have an EE device from the UK and has managed to get stock 6.0.1 flashed? I did have CM13 installed previously but found it too unstable.
Many thanks!!

- 6.0.1 firware (downloaded from sammobile
- PIT file from the region of the firmware
