Hi all,
I have a N9005 which I rooted a while ago. When I tried to flash CM11 I didn't seem to have a custom recovery so I flashed CWM with Odin and then flashed CM11 with no problems and it works pretty well, the odd crash but nothing too upsetting.
However the OTA updates download and when the phone tries to update CWM says there is no such zip file so it aborts and reboots.
Would TWRP solve this issue for me and if it would, how would I go about removing CWM and installing TWRP?
Thanks in advance.
Some CM roms have OTA problems so you need to flash normally

Regarding installing TWRP recovery, just flash it via Odin.
Cheers guys, noob question but would there not be a conflict flashing Twrp when I already have cwm installed and where would I find the correct twrp for my model? Thanks
no conflict and you will find a thread fot twrp but you don't need it, I flash CM with Philz
ok, I've tried to flash philz from this source theandroidsoul.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-lte-sm-n9005-philz-touch-advanced-cwm-recovery-android-4-4-compatible/ and it doesn't seem to have worked. The phone went into a recovery loop which I can get out of by a battery pull but basically now I have no recovery any ideas? thanks again

Normally no..

Hi there,
Long time lurker on the forums here, and have been browsing around the whole day to find a solution to my problems without luck .
Yeasterday I received my Galaxy Note 3 (N900T), but I had very poor reception, I thought this was because the N900T was appearantly a US model which I wasn't aware of, but since hardware was the same I decided a custom rom might fix things up.
I installed the latest CM 11 nightly and appropriate google apps but without any luck (reception still bad)
Then I decided to install the origional 4.4.2 firmware for T-mobile N900T, now the reception and everything works just fine, but I get a bunch of errors that google app x (youtube, playstore etc) have stopped working, so I get alot of these pop-ups and can't use the playstore.
I thought: Ok I just need to install the latest Gapps for the 4.4.2 version, there's where the problem comes in. When I booted into recovery it would boot into the standard android recovery and not CWM recovery. I couldn't do anything in the normal recovery mode to install gapps. So I managed to download the rom manager through my browser and just installed that without the playstore, after this i installed the recovery, found out my root was undone after the patch.
I then downloaded the chainfire thingy and flashed it with odin, which all worked fine and I managed to root my phone again. When opening SuperSU it says there was some 'KNOX thingies remaining which I said ok take away. After this I installed the CWM recovery, and said: Launch ClockworkMod recovery so I could install the new version of Gapps there. However: This is where it gets stuck in a loop trying to launch the bootloader, and I was unable to get into the bootloader. The only way to stop the bootloader loop was to take out the battery, boot into download mode and cancel the download mode after which my phone would continue to boot normally.
After this I tried to flash the 4.3 version of android with odin, and even reflashing the current 4.4.2 version, but I can't flash any roms with odin anymore as it gives me the Fail! Auth. error everytime in odin.
If anybody could help me that would be greatly appreciated!
Just to clarify:
I am still working on this, I downloaded Goomanager and installed TWRP recovery, but no luck, my phone will simply get stuck in a loop when i try to boot it into recovery. I can still startup my phone normally, but it's quite useless without gapps.
Thanks in advance for any assistance, I really feel lost on this one :/
Maybe its too late but I wonder if it would have helped if you install another kernel when you had CM11. Maybe that would have had solve the problems with the reception? I'm a total noob at this, so I don't know, its just something that I thought of.

Not sure but when i upgraded my N9006 to KitKat and tried to root it using cf-auto-root for my phone it went into a boot loop. I ended up using the one designed for N9005 as it specifically stated it was made for the 4.4 boot loader. I'm guessing the other ones are for 4.3?

I managed to flash the philz recovery with odin, I got the phone working now, except when I make a call I'll loose all mobile network signal afterwards. Unsure how to solve this. Could I flash a European stock firmware to my n900t?
Hello,
I am facing weird problem, I am not able to install custom recovery, I have tried almost everything.. nothing helped.
I am still getting stock recovery..I have tried to flash it via Odin, via some apps, unfortunatelly nothing worked.
My Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 is running KK 4.4.2.
Any idea?
Thank you.
I had this problem too. keep flashing cwm recovery through the app (needs root I think). and reboot into recovery, once you get cwm you can flash a custom rom or another recovery like twpr or philz.
s4 i9505 stock KK
I have that problem too. I have stock KK 4.4.2 XXUGNG8 updatet ota. When i try to flash flashable zip file cwm of philz or twpr i get some error like:
E:footer bad
Mds check
Something like that and cant flash it. I tryed with odin but no luck. Does anyone have same problem?
I had this problem to
I fixed it by checking te root options.
If u use a root app, make sure it gives always root acces.
After this, install a custom recovery rom
After that you'll have no problem installing a custom ROM
Good luck.

But my phone is not rooted, its new, with stock recovery, knox 0x0 still....
Have any idea?
Ok, but what if my phone is not rooted, how am I supposed to root it? When I tried CF-Auto-Root my phone started to reboot randomly during the phone call.
I have found one solution, but I am not sure if it works, it says that if you are flashing custom recovery via odin, you have to take out the battery after the flash is done so you won't allow your phone to restart and rewrite the recovery back to stock. Have anyone heard about it?
No, no idea.
Thats crappy.
Only know how I fixed it

Just uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That will fix your problem.
I have tried it, but it didn't help still looking for solution, is there any way how to RENAME RECOVERY RESTORE FILES so I can finally flash custom recovery? (non-rooted phone)
OK, so the solution that worked was simple and I have already mentioned it, you have to take out you battery on samsung galaxy s4 logo, before it reboots.
My solution
Hi I had the same problem too,
I solved it this way: (My phone was rooted)
Download the .zip file from the recovery you want (I used CWM 6.0.4.7)
Next download 'SGS4 flasher' from the playstore.
SGS4 flasher needs root (I think) andyou can flash your recovery through that app.
Next boot into the recovery and you should probably end up in your custom revovery every time now.
If you don't end up in your custom recovery, download ROM manager and then choose the option boot into recovery.
This worked for me at least :laugh:
At the moment have stock 5.0.1 rom for SM-N910F.
have rooted and installed twrp through odin but every time I try and install a custom rom, it installs but it bootloop. And I mean every rom. Tried installing twrp through flashify and as a zip file and both of those won't boot the phone up at all. It will just go straight to download mode.
I am fresh out of ideas and any help would be appreciated.
I have been flashing for years so I know the steps to successfully flash custom roms but I have never faced this before.
you sure you got the right version for your phone, seems like a compatibility issue with your recovery/bootloader.

Yeah that's what I thought but it was for SM-N910F according to TWRP website and all the roms have been for that same version.
Hello Guys, recently i was trying to install CMW recovery on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 via odin and it is not working so i researched and found that i can use "FLASHIFY" from playstore to flash the recovery. I flashed it successfully but when i rebooted the phone, it only boot to recovery. Nothing else just the recovery. I can't get out there. So i tried to flash firmware from sammobile and still it doesnt work. I really need your help.
Sorry for the bad English.

Do not use CWM it's outdated. Only use TWRP recovery.

Post the Odin log here.
For twrp, flash via Odin.
Before flashing, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash and, when you see reset in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into twrp using buttons.
I rooted my SM-G7102 using KingoRoot App for Windows.
Later I installed Twrp recovery using Odin 3.10.7 :http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/orig-development/twrp-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t2798433
Booted into recovery, did a factory reset and tried installing Resurrection Remix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/orig-development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-v5-6-7-t3360391
It installed successfully I latter install 6.0 micro gapps as advised on the ROM's Page and rebooted however it just showed me Sammy BootLogo and then a blue screen and then restarted again
I later did a complete format including /data and also tried installing CM13 unofficial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/orig-development/cm-13-0-ms013g-cyanogenmod-13-grand-2-t3299635
however same results.
Another alter I tried was installing both ROMs mentioned above without GAPPS however it didn't work too!
Would love to recieve some help, Thanks.
[EDIT]
p.s: I was using Samsung's Stock Andorid v4.3 firmware before flashing.
Also here is my recovery log: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ArchKudo/ab4738a2482121fde280643fc86b5ab6/raw/0cae8a800552fc331d841bd1a6798c9a41e524ec/recovery.log

Thanks for the reply!
Should I use the same TWRP recovery as mentioned before?
Also is 4.3 known to cause bootloops or is there some guesswork involved?
