My friend's got a s3 neo and all he wants is cm 12 on his phone. I rooted using towelroot but I can't get into recovery and even if I install any custom recovery the phone boots into download mode saying "Could not do normal boot" bla bla and Qualcomm secure boot enabled and write secured something like that. I think that some qualcomm security is not letting the recovery written in system. AND then when I boot the phone back on and start flashify it says the current installed recovery: Stock recovery.
Help me here guys. I just wanna get into recovery somehow and wipe and get on with lollipop
Was it on 4.4 before updating to cm 12 ?

Nope. It's never updated to 4.4 it's on 4.3
Are you sure you have installed the 4.3 custom recovery? The 4.4.4 version cannot work on 4.3. Make sure you followed this guide not the 4.4.4.

Thanks man, was flashing 4.4 recoveries all along...
Are there any other lollipop rom than CM12 ?
@Rox @Barbarian-King Guys I DM'ed you both the same thing. Sorry if I'm annoying you but it's kinda urgent and I'm a nexus 5 user. So I installed the cm12 with TWRP for 4.3. and then after installing it boots into the same "could not do normal boot" download mode screen. Thing is He's kinda jerk and wants it back quicly and I know I can flash stock 4.4.4 but my internet is kinda slow. I have Cm11 and CM12 downloaded but no luck with both
Really need help from both of you

Hey guys, as of now I just reflashed stock, rooted with Kingo, installed safestrap, added a rom slot and installed BajaRom. Now i have been trying to find CM11 and to have it work. Safestrap wont install the zip from CM11, and from what i understand you need either CWM or TWRP and is there a certain procedure? everytime i use rom manager to install CWM recovery it boot loops on the recovery boot screen and says unofficial software blah blah blah and then im forced to reflash the stock AP file in odin. Any help is greatly appreciated, i would just love to join the 4.4.2 train
My phone is a Verizon n900v NON-developer edition.

You can not install CM11 because of the locked bootloader and SafeStrap is the only recovery we are able to use. Just go HERE and you'll be able to flash the stock, rooted 4.4.2 for our phones.

Thank you for the clarifications, its hard to find straight answers with the Dev edition floating around along with 4.4.2 being relativley new to the VZW variant. After this is installed, are there other 4.4.2 roms available? or just stock for the moment?

You cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 and if you have a 4.3
nandroid backup you cannot restore it either.
You will only be able to upgrade or flash 4.4.2 roms and newer
versions of android roms/firmwares.
Oh, one more thing there is no such thing as "denox" LOL
Good luck!

Yeah you can flash Stock via ODIN or you can install CWM/TWRP and use a custom recovery. -- Make sure REACTIVATION LOCK is OFF before you do anything or it won't work.

Tried the G7102's CWM? No difference, as in my old Galaxy Star, the same build of CWM worked on two variants.
Technically, there shouldn't be a difference.
If it failed, you can simply fix using Odin.

I'm sure that this would work.
Use the older PhilZ Touch 6.48 for 4.3.
You can find it in the recovery section.
Make sure you use the old release, not the new KitKat one.

tried but failed i also updated to kitkat 4.4.2 and tried the kitkat recovery it also failed i think there 's a qualcomm secure bootloader but it should also be on sm-g7102 how this recovery works on that device.CWM should be ported for this device seperately because this device has a different case.

Secure Boot doesn't affect anything.
Make sure you use a 4.4.2 recovery on 4.4.2.
Redownload as to eliminate mix-up between recoveries.
Hi Guys,
As you can see, I am new to this site. My phone is S4 19505. Yesterday, I tried to root my phone and that was a succes. Problem began when I want to install kernel for longer battery life. I have installed kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379 and I have chosen Touchwiz KitKat 4.4 version. After I flashed this kernel my s4 is not starting. It just stuck at first screen "where we get first white letters samsung galaxy s4".
I have no idea what to do now.
Can anyone please help me?
Advance thanks.

twrp. I dont know what you mean by stock rom because this is my first time I did. My device is running 4.4.2. and I chose for kernel 4.4 version of tw.
I think that you have to re-flash a new rom. Then, you have to retry installing root and the kernel.

I agree with msmlz, if you have nandroid restore it or download the firmware in sammobile and reflash it and before flashing the custom kernel again, read the thread, see if someone face bootloop like you. Hope someone with experience on it could help you, I never install custom kernel, just update the last stock kernel on my rooted stock rom.
I have downloaded three times CM 11 zip files for my phone and flashed via CWM recovery but every time i am getting in a bootloop and my phone doesn't boot after samsung logo and i have to restart again to CWM recovery and then i have to restore my rom via nandroid backup to fix the problem.!!
Please help me i want CM 11 in my phone!!!
