Two recoveries? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello experts I have a question can I have two custom recoveries on my note 3 at the same time? A friend of mine has 3 recoveries on his xperia z1!

It's possible, but why? I don't see what the point of this would be.
What would you use the 2nd recovery for? Or even the 3rd.

TWRP is best and in active development. Hate it and be happy. Or is it Philz recovery that combin cwm and twrp, but not in development if im not wrong?:S As said best bet is TWRP .

So there isnt any method to have both

No you can't put them together yourself unless you are a developer who knows how to do. Never heard of it.

Ok thank you

[Q] flashing roms with odin?

Will verizons note 3 owners have to use odin to flash roms?
Flash back to stock, then yes or to root. To flash custom roms we need a bootloader work around or unlocked bootloader

Wish it was as easy to unlock as my old phone which is still pretty new (Galaxy Note 2) Adam outler made it very simple with his Creation of Casual one click. Thinking of returning my note 3 and going back to my note 2. Wish there was a DEV edition of the note 3.

Not everyone who roots flashes a ROM. I root so I can use battery saving apps that need root to force close some system apps. I use some apps that require root for a firewall or call blocking. Have you ever wanted to freeze pre-installed apps, or even delete then? This list goes on and on.

Help unlocking Buddy's note

If I root it and use chainfires cf auto root or w.e thru Odin to install a recovery will he be good to go...will it unlock the bootloader or will I send it into a security error by flashing clockwork

You will most likely brick it. Use Hash code's safestrap in development section
With safestrap tho can't you only flash stock ROMs?

Correct, our VZW specific Note 3 has a locked bootloader so we can't modify it aside from the stock .tar file via Odin
You want to use this method to apply the MJE update before doing anything else
Then root via Kingo, have to google it
Then install Safestrap, open it, select install recovery
Profit
Lol good luck let us know if you run into issues it's not too rough
OK thanks..man that sucks that the boot loader hasn't been unlocked yet

If he wants the full root experience, at this time his best option might be to return the phone for something else if he is within his 14-day period.
I'm not sure what else though ... The N3 is a great device. My understanding is that the camera on the HTC One isn't great, and I'm not sure what the root situation on the LG device is, nor how much developer love it will get over time.
Maybe he should leave Big Red for a different carrier... making sure they know exactly why on the way out the door.
Haha yeah thats what i said I have T-Mobile s4 and had mine hacked in 5 mins with a custom ROM on it

Running Beans Build 6 with a custom launcher with Wanam Xposed Framework mods and it's not bad at all. I'm sure he'd be happy with that.
I'll def check it out thanks

Yes, but why would you want to? You can't make a nandroid backup in the stock recovery

My daughter needs a phone, I was going to flash rastakat because it gave me better battery life. I'm afraid she will reboot into recovery and flash something that's not a ROM/kernel.

Yes, you could.

Sounds like it's a good time to learn responsibility. If she's old enough to have a phone, have her buy an inexpensive android. There are a mess of them. I've found my kids to be better stewards of the things they've had to work for than things just given to them.

If you mean safe as in the rom doesnt contain malware and doesnt screw up your phone, custom roms on XDA are absolutely safe. The community tests them out and report bugs and the devs keep on churning out better and better versions.
