sorry by my inglish, i will try to explane...I can see what you say, tahat you didnt flash tho csc file , that why you have that keyboard error.. you can solve that by conecting some bluetooth keyborad to your divice , and with that keyboard try to write the fields to get to playstore an donwload another keyboard for your divice like , donwload another one from playstore like swifkey, once u donwload the keyboard selected insted samsung kerboard
But i flashed scs. No way. And also i cant start any custom rom after installing throughh cmw recovery
So you flashed Kitkat 4.4.2? -- N900 or N9005? -- reflash your Stock ROM - need to be 4.4.2 now since you tried previously.
Yes kitkat 4.4.2. N900. I can install succesfully using cmw but after rebooting it freezes at flashing samsung logo
Use Odin to flash stock ROM
Where can i download stock rom?

[Q] Unable to install Custom Recovery

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:

I9505 rooted but cant install custom recovery

EDIT: Sorted it, flashed TWRP in odin and it worked this time.
I have rooted my i9505 (5.0.1 stock Baseband i9505XXUHOD5) using CF-auto and Odin but I cant install a custom recovery. When I try in odin it says pass but then gets stuck in a loop at reboot. When i go to recovery its still stock and the only way out of the loop is to factory reset abd then try again. It looks like a Vodaphone Germany rom thats been unlocked installed. Any ideas please? I want a custom rom to get rid of the Samsung crap in the background.
Thread can be closed
As you have solved it,like this you open this thread for nothing
And also, CWM and Philz are outdated and out of support(only for this device), always use TWRP[emoji6]

Custom recovery issue - help please

Hi Guys,
trying to flash a custom Rom on my Note 3. It is a UK model supplied by EE but is unbranded.
Flashed several phones before, just running into some issues this time round.
Got my Rom, Autoroot, CWM and Odin downloaded.
Flash Autoroot with Odin - no problem.
Flash CWM with Odin - no problem - until i try to boot into recovery anyway.
No error message etc on Odin but when i try to boot into recovery it keeps saying "cannot do normal boot" and puts me into download mode.
I can get to download mode to reflash and have tried TWRP with the same results.
It is saying "custom binary" when in download mode, and my Knox counter has tripped to 1 (phone out of warranty so not fussed).
Ive searched online and cannot find a thread where they actually manage to sort the problem.
Presumably what I want to do (install a custom Rom) is not impossible as there are so many Roms etc available for the Note 3, I am just a bit stuck as to my next step.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Use TWRP or Philz Recovery .
Thanks for the reply JJEgan, I tried Twrp also to the same effect. I did try Cwm first though, is this a common thing when using Cwm or have I done something wrong?
Im going to flash a stock 4.4.2 from SamUK and try again from scratch to see if it made a difference coming from 4.4.2 instead of 5.0 and then TWRP

could not do normal boot

So i was going to install a custom ROM on my g530h via twrp, and im new to this
I downloaded the file that the app asked me to, and acidentally flashes It as a boot, not as a recovery, now the phone just stays in the download mode, and I cant install the stock ROM with Odin, It gives me a different setor every time
Please help
What file did you actually install like what model was it exactly for ?
Post some screenshots of odin.
try watchin this.. i also have the same problem this week but i find the ways to fix it just flash the stock firmware of g530h xcu using odin so i use the xcu phil firmware which is 4.4.2 and it works.. just flash the stock firmware.. hope it helps...
Do you have any other method because when I rooted the divice I deleted some system files then lost USB connection with pc I tried may way to make it back like downloading the driver from Samsung nothing work and tried different stock rooms and custom ones all of them had the error 7 or md5 file not found by the the same thing happened with the os I made the boot to recovery by accident and lost the system .
Hi buddy
