I tried TWRP and it's fine other than it doesn't flash any ROMs that I've tried.
Decided that I should try Philz Recovery ery and that booted fine the first time, tried to do a backup but gave me an error and told me to reboot. It wouldn't boot back into the recovery.
Should I flash stock firmware and try again? Or is there a problem with the phone?
Thanks

Just check the root status if that's ok Or re root
Else flash stock rom reset the device root using Cf root and flash philz recovery all should be ok

Hello,
I've rooted my own note 3 and flashed Temaseks unofficial cm 12 rom. Everything works perfect so I decided to do the same thing for my father. It all went well, first I rooted his phone, then I flashed CWM and flashed cm 12 by temasek. The rom works fine but I forget to install the Gapps. So I tried to install Gapps but I got an error "Failure Status 6". I googled on that error and someone told it has to do something with CWM. I tried to flash a different version of CWM but now I can't reboot into recovery mode anymore. So I can't flash anything.
I flashed another version of CWM but this one also doesn't work. Whenever I try to boot the phone into recovery mode, the blue line shows up. Rebooting into recovery mode, but after a few secs, the phone just boots the normal way. Is there anyone that can help me to get CWM back to work? In the mean time I'll try to flash TWRP by Odin.
Thanks in advance!
So I flashed latest version of CWM: Buildversion; 6.13.0, CWM Base Version V6.0.4.7. I can reboot into recovery now but still can't install Google Apps due to failure status 6. On my own Phone I run a different version of CWM, but when I try to flash it, the phone won't boot into recovery mode anymore. It only boots into recovery when I flash this V6.0.4.7 . How can I get rid of this version and flash an older version of CWM?
You'll probably have to Odin back to stock and start over...

You mean If there is no other way to get the Google Apps on the phone, I have to go back to stock. I did make a backup with CWM on the while it was running custom firmware. Now I have 4 files on my comuter, 3.tar and 1.md5 . If I recover them, I will still have this not working CWM version on my phone right? Isn't there a easier way to delete CWM, can I flash TWRP over CWM and see if it will install these Gapps?
Yeah, you should be able to flash TWRP over it. TWRP is much better anyway, in my opinion. Once you get the recovery issue sorted, I really wouldn't't recommend trying to flash just the gapps. It would probably work, but it's also quite likely to cause some weird issues. It's always best to flash gapps immediately after flashing a ROM, without leaving recovery.
I would flash TWRP, wipe everything but your internal SD, re-flash the ROM, flash the gapps, and everything should be cherry.
Edit: here is the link to download TWRP.

I appreciate your effort, thank you. The recovery issue is solved. I flashed Chainfires Root script and that installed the stock recovery. However, when I tried to install and older CWM version I got back in the recovery reboot cycle. But once I installed the latest CWM it booted in recovery. So I flashed Chainfires Root once again and had the stock recovery back. From there on I tried to install TWRP but got the recovery boot cycle again. My phone is now running android 5.0.2 and I think that's the problem.... :S I'll try again to flash Chainfires Root script to get the stock recovery back. From there on I will try to flash the link you gave to me with Odin and hope that will fix it. Do you have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Your version of TWRP works so far. It reboots into RecoveryMode. Now I'll wipe and try to install Temaseks Cm 12 followed by Gapps! Thanks so far!
Okay, it's solved. Can't thank you enough for you help. Bless you!!
No problem. Glad you got it figured out!

Hi!
EDIT: Never mind, problem solved. Sorry.
I have finally decided to root my G900F (6.0.1). I flashed TWRP through Odin without problems, booted to TWRP to make it permanent, booted normally to check that all is well. After that I made a full backup in TWRP and flashed the BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip. After that, my phone no longer boots (hangs on the Galaxy S5 screen with a blue indicator LED).
I can still boot to TWRP.
How can I fix my phone? Please help. What did I do wrong?
I did try wiping the cache partition but nothing else.
Hopefully the solution does not require a full wipe.
EDIT: I see what I did wrong. I have accidentally flashed an old SuperSU.
Can I use a backup I made with a TWRP?
EDIT2: Luckily the restore did work! Will try to flash a more recent SuperSU.
flash it again but with latest version of supersu. It will work

Yup, it did work beautifully. Lucky for me that I remembered to make a backup before rooting.
