Are there any custom recoveries out there for our s7 edge t mobile? I have it rooted now but are there any recoveries? I have been searching and had no luck.

Nope

No there arent. To flash stuff you need to download flashfire from the play store. It works just like twrp but it's a app. When you want to flash something you will select the plus sign in the bottom right corner and select zip. It's super easy to use

Thought i had found a recovery for some odd reason, and it was def. Exynos twrp. There a way to flash the stock recovery img? Im thinking of flashing through flashfire but im afraid after flashing it actually wouldnt wipe since there seems to be no recovery, only a download mode menu, whilst saying recovery booting.

I personally haven't tried but if you want to risk bricking go for it. If it's any comfort, I doubt anything will happen. Worse case scenario is that it installs, you trip Knox and unable to mount the system partition and won't be able to boot it up. But even then... Odin should still be possible. But again... I wouldn't risk it. I'm fairly sure that it's been tried. There is a QC version of the recovery somewhere that never worked via Odin back in June or so.

I personally was the first to attempt flashing twrp via flashfire. it will not work. DM-Verity kicks in and will not allow it to load. you get a BRIEF flicker of twrp loading up and it loads the failed integrity check. the good news was i was able to flash the stock files and got it loading again with no KNOX trip or errors.

Flash zip with Mobile ODIN Pro just with root?

Hello everyone!
Actually I am on stock Android, version 4.3, without root, bootloader onlock, etc. So it's untouched.
Now I would like to flash the following mod:
[MOD][NEXUS 4][4.3 + 4.2.2][DEODEX + ODEX][STOCK ROM] 1% Battery Mod
I want to do it with Mobile ODIN Pro. Before that, I was planing to root my Nexus with the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Do I need to unlock the bootloder as seen in the screenshot? Or is just a root sufficient?

Does Mobile Odin even work with the Nexus 4? I was under the impression it mostly for Samsung products.
Why not root, install custom recovery and flash with custom recovery?
I want to get the OTA updates from google. It is not possible with a custom recovery. Is there another away? I just need this one mod.
Take the SystemUI.apk out and manually replace each battery icon in the correct folder.

Do I need a root for it? (noob question)
I read something about a possibility to load into recovery, install things and after a reboot the recovery should be deleted automatically. Or did I get something wrong?

You will need root to get to SystemUI.apk (you might be able to pull with ADB but I'm not 100% sure.
A custom recovery will not delete itself.
You can't replace the ROM installed at time of locking with another or you get a black screen. And I don't think mobile Odin is for nexus 4 being a Samsung program.

You can also use the toolkits to bring up a custom recovery temporarily without actually flashing it, so you can keep your stock recovery.

I rooted it, flashed a custom recovery and installed the mod. If google releases an update, I will flash it manually. No need for OTA Updates.
Thank you very much!

[GUIDE] Black screen after downgrade from Lolipop

Hello everybody !
If you have downgraded from Lolipop to a KitKat ROM and you have issued black screen during call, I have find the solution:
You don't need to flash the Stock ROM. Just flash a Modem from a Stock ROM, Lolipop Modem doesn't work fine on KitKat, proximity sensor is busy and the screen don't wake up during call.
You can find here the latest Stock Modem (XNPH05Q) : MEGA | MediaFire
MD5 : 2fff2a1d9719294db84b714f4389ce6f
You don't need to wipe anything and it doesn't wipe anything. Just flash it and enjoy

Can't get it to install with TWRP. When I try to do it, TWRP restarts. On reboot still get black screen on phone call. Is it indeed flashable from recovery?
Yay, of course, it's a flashable .zip, do you use the latest release of TWRP (2.8.6.X) ?

Mmh, I try to flash and it's works fine, here a screenshot :

Then there's something wrong with the recovery or file. Try Calkulin's modem? If it fails again I think there is something wrong with your TWRP. Btw, you need to manually fastboot erase modem in order to flash the KK modem. Last time I tried it won't let me overwrite Lollipop modem with KK modem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-stock-rooted-xnph05q-t3027033
I can overwrite LP modem with KK modem.
The flashable zip seems work fine on two OnePlus. I think it's his recovery who doesn't work
TWRP 2.8.6.0, haven't had any issues with it aside with this. Just tried flashing it, didn't know I needed to fastboot erase the LP modem.
Probably better it didn't work when I tried; made me go in search of a different rom I haven't tried yet [emoji51]

lg g2 bricked

hello, i just tried to flash cloudyg2 3.3 and i have bricked my d802 16gb. i had stock lp and had rooted and installed twrp did the wipes (no internal), got the right lp bootstack and used the right settings, so i really dont know what went wrong.
the symptom is that lg logo show for a fraction of a second and then a washed out gray on top of screen that fades away slowly. also while connected in pc it reads like many many drives.
on the bright side i can enter recovery/download modes. in my original attempt i used the bumbed sign, on my tries to fix it i also used the loki one, same deal.
seems like i have no recovery file, i thought i did it with one of the programs i installed, but since i am newbie seems like i misunderstood. so no recovery file
any help?
solution found:
1.Download the latest TWRP from blastagator here.
2.Flash it with your current recovery, reboot into that new recovery.
3.Download SRKG2 rom (by somboons) here.
4.This rom is a full stock rom with some debloat and custom camera. Wipe /system/ /cache/ /dalvik-cache/ /data/ and flash it (choose any options, it's not important since you'll be only installing this rom because it also upgrades other partitions to a lollipop supported version.
5.Boot into the rom and reboot into recovery again. (If you are unable to boot or the boot is taking too long like 10 minutes, shut down, go to recovery again and perform a factory reset, the one that makes you type 'yes' in the keyboard and you should be fine).
6.Download CloudyG2 3.1 and wipe /system/ /cache/ /dalvik-cache/ /data/ again.
7.Flash the rom choosing the correct version of your phone (among other preferences) in the aroma installer.
8.Boot and enjoy!
i cant post link of the solution cause i am new, but many thanks to him. i still dont understand what went wrong, but my hypothesis is that i shouldnt install the lp bootloader since i was in lp anyway.
i hope it helps anyone with similar problem.
cheers

SM-G360T Still Custom?

I was tinkering with some of the roms made for the sm-g360t and decided i wanted to go back to stock. I wiped everything and flashed the stock firmware with odin. However, whenever i go to download mode it still says "System Status: Custom" Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: After ODIN finishes it would say "Installing System Update" get about the quarter of the way and then say "Erasing"

When/where does it say system update is erasing? In the little box in ODIN when you're flashing the firmware or on your device after flashing the firmware? I guess what I'm asking is does your firmware install completely or not, are you able to boot and are you using the current firmware?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/84077/G360TUVU1APG2_G360TTMB1APG2_TMB/
If the firmware is failing to flash completely in ODIN, then make sure the Samsung drivers for your device are up to date in Windows.
Also, if it's just that you want your "System Status" to say "Official" there's an easy fix for this while still having root, but you will need the following:
1) A Rooted Device(doesn't matter if you're on stock or whatever).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013
2) TWRP Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
3) The Xposed Framework.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62377731
4) The "Wanam Xposed" Module.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposedlollipop
In this module there is a box to check that says "Fake System Status", which makes the system status say "Official".

It was after Odin flashed completely. It would reboot into something that looked like recovery. I eventually figured it out. Reset the phone a few times while wiping everything. I guess after the third or fourth try it finally stuck. Thanks for the help anyways. Also thanks for all you do as a developer for this phone.

Phone possibly soft-bricked, ways to recover without wiping data?

Hey strangers,
Does anyone got any ideas about recovering this phone wihtout wiping it's data? It's supposed to have ADB enabled, but it won't boot to OS.
Video:
I would prefer to get to backup it, but recovery is unacessable and Download mode most likely works but it's not 100% sure.

Haven't yet, but should I be able to just fix the bootloader and it should work? If yes, how should it be done? Backup first though, probably.
Bootloaders in the bootloader and modem threads.
I have flashed the OS fully to the phone, but now it's in a bootloop trying to go to recovery which for some reason does not work neither does flashing TWRP as it stil won't boot to the recovery.
Does anyone happen to have a PIT file for this device?
Exact model: SM-N9005 (International version)
