Hi guys,
I am a relative newb to xda and rooting etc and have a query that hopefully someone can help me with. I have flashed a pre rooted mf8 rom via odin and would now like to add the loud volume mod to my s4 i9505! As far as I understand the mod has to be flashed via custom recovery. I still have stock recovery on my s4 and I am not sure on how to flash a custom recovery or which one I should use. Apologies if this is the wrong thread and thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Look HERE
Choose one of the 4 recoveries available .
Installation instructions are on the thread.

im using philz touch recovery.
download newest version as .tar.md5, put it in odin as pda, and flash it just like you did with the pre rooted rom.

Thanks... just flashed via odin... worked a treat. Now for that sound mod file.. Thanks again!
Please could someone point me in the right direction.
I have gone through the forum via PC and Android (Tapatalk) but I cannot find a Stock 4.4.2 ROM that has only a basic few extras.
I'm looking for the following...
1. Latest Stock ROM Flashable in a custom recovery (CWM,TWRP)
2. Deodexed
3. Busybox
4. SuperSU (Rooted)
5. Speed Addons (SDCard Boost, RW Fix)
6. De-Knoxed
7. Looks like plain TouchWiz with all stock apps.
If anyone could post a link I would be ever so grateful.
I must learn to do these things myself at some point. Its my 8th Android phone lol.

You do know, that xda-developers is not the place where you ask things to be done for you? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45
Why not create such ROM yourself?

Of course it's working, why wouldn't it ?
But the op has had only 8 Android phones so far so he doesn't yet know how to flash it. He'll get there eventually. :sly:

and this is my first androit sh!!! t and got rooted and custom rom after a day
I know how to flash and I was simply asking to be pointed in the right direction for help. After all XDA is a community and isn't that what a community does? Thank you to those who helped. I managed to get it sorted a while back. Turns out I have a strange boot loader that was semi-bricked. I've since repaired it and have been using the Unofficial CM12 with TWRP. Also user Dejan Sathanas, are you trolling me or what, very unhelpful on several of my posts now. Didn't you know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit?
Does this exist? I have found a TWRP for a regular T330, but not the T330NU. Basically I am looking for a way to get my 5.1.1 rooted. I know there is a method listed on this forum that involves installing a new kernal that is rootable, but once again, I need a custom recovery to even flash that file. Or do I? Any help would be highly appreciated. I apologize if this has been addressed, but after many Google searches, and even searches on XDA, i was not able to find any definite instructions on how to do this. I would happily downgrade to 4.4.2 Kitkat if thats even possible, but I hit a dead end there also trying to use ODIN to flash the stock 4.4.2 firmware. I made the stupid mistake of upgrading to 5.1.1, and now am suffering do to all the bloatware installed with it. Please direct me to the proper files i need to use to get my device rooted! I'm not worried about knox because it has already been triggered. I just dont understand how or where to get TWRP for my tablet because all the files I found specifically left the T330NU out of its list of compatible devices. I have tried Kingo-Root, KingRoot, and no success. Help, I need ROOT!
A TWRP build for the SM-T330 will also work on the SM-T330NU, so you can use this thread for TWRP. There is also Philz touch, a touch version of CWM which can be found in this thread. All that said however, there is only one way to root the SM-T330NU on 5.1.1, and that is the kernel method you mentioned, for which the thread can be found here
Install new kernel

Ok... heres my next question? Do i just simply use ODIN to install the custom recovery, then use the custom recovery to flash that new kernel??? Because I still have the stock recovery on right now, and just need the basic instructions h on how to achieve this. Thanks

Yes I believe so, although the kernel thread should have instructions
Success with Custom recovery and Kernel Flash
Ok i performed the Kernel flash using Philz recovery... and flashed the SuperSU file posted on that thread. Now I ran a program called "Root Checker" from the app store and it says Root not installed... BUT when I run the SuperSU app it says "Super User Enabled" ... So am i rooted or not?? Is there another program i need to use to check root status? or am i done?...
***DUH, my fault... did not realize i needed to grant super user access to the program.... Did that and SUCCESS!!***
Thanks dude... you're very helpful and patient... Wish i had a customer comment card I could fill out about you!
rootedI
I have the exact same tab and have not found much support for it however I believe I rooted it using old school towel root. And there are some cool things u can do with it but I've been back in kit Kat land all this time.
Can someone gim'me the links of TWRP flashable Stock Rom zip File. Bcoz i m out of town and too far away from my PC. So any Help would be really apprieciated. Thanx in Advance.
Stock cannot be flashed with TWRP.
Surprised there's no slimmed down debloated stock roms here. (Or maybe I haven't found it)
Every phone I've had someone's posted one up.
The cm ROMs are great but cm always seems to decrease battery life.

I don't have it anymore. I suggest to anyone with a new G4, that is bootloader unlocked, to make a TWRP backup.
Bootloader mode:
"fastboot boot TwrpRecovery.img"
Wipe data
Backup.
That will give you a backup to restore to stock. I think that is what you are looking for?

Could you please upload it once you've made it, or link me to a guide on how to convert the factory image to a twrp flashable zip?
Thanks.
Hey guys, im having trouble finding a stock version of android 4.4 KitKat for my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (sm-g530t variant) because im trying to get pretty much any version of LineageOS thats Marshmallow and above, but they all require me to have 4.4 kitkat installed, and i simply cannot find it ANYWHERE. if anyone out there can provide me a link, or send me a link to like google drive with a backup of a freshly stock factory reset backup? Just something please, im getting quite desperate as i cannot afford a new phone, but 5.1.1 is giving me all sorts of hell, what with not having adoptable storage and whatnot. So if anyone can help me out, it would be GREATLY appreciated, as i have searched and searched and searched for literally HOURS trying to find 4.4 for this thing, and i never found one. for reference, if need be, im trying to get LineageOS 15.1 or 15.0, if that helps too, but i dont know, im sort of a noob in a way. I can and have flashed a few alternate roms, but i need 4.4 for Lineage. Also, ive already checked on Sammobile, and the only firmware they have is 5.1.1. Ive even searched around XDA quite a bit, and still cant find it :crying: Thanks to all who can help, and have a great day!

You need *4.4 and above* to install lineage. So having 5.1.1 is fine as well.

Lineage 15 isn't working yet. Use the July 2017 build of Lineage 14. There's a few bugs, but I use it just fine. Be sure you are using the correct version of TWRP. I think I had to downgrade TWRP to install Lineage 14.

Oh, alright. i didnt know i had to use a specific version of TWRP, so i guess thats also on the list lol. Do you think it would make a difference if my current rom was a stock TW rom, but deodexed, debloated, and rooted?

Nope. Your stock TW ROM doesn't needs to be deodexed, de-bloted or anything. Only thing you need is a custom TWRP recovery to flash the ROM.

You're probably doing something wrong if that's the case.
Check if:
- You're flashing images for the proper device (SM-G530T1/gprimelte),
- You're using ODIN or TWRP correctly,
- Your images are not corrupt (there are MD5 files with each build for md5 verification, and zip signature checks with TWRP),
- Your device is hardware unlocked via Developer Options in the stock ROM,
- FRP lock is disabled on your device.
Let me know if you get back to stock 5.1.1 because nothing works. Im forced to use june version of lineage 14.1
got back to a working stock 5.1.1

Yeah i have checked all of those to make sure, but it seems yo just not want to use any other roms. The only rom i got to work was a debloated deodexed rom. If yhere is any other thing you think im possibly screwing up on, please do tell, thanks!
