is it possible to upgrade rom manager cwm to Tenfar's Updated Bootstrap CWM
?
Is you bootloader unlocked? If it is then get romracers cwm atrix 3.1

Why do people ask questions in General instead of Q&A? There is enough clutter as it is.

Like Dirtburglar said.............you should flash Romracers CWM.
Are you on 4.5.91 and unlocked?

If you already rooted the phone then you can install ROM Manager which can be used to flash the latest CWM recovery image.

you are providing wrong information,
ROM manager does not work with some kernels and could potentially result in a software malfunction,
@op and everyone else having the same question:
please just read the original instructions from the kernel developer to ensure success of the installation
I've been reading about the boot loader hack that's out. I'm unrooted and really want to root this thing. Just kind of confused about the Loki process. I was going to root then use goomanager to get twrp since I heard its loki'd. Does that mean after I do that I just pick a ROM and flash it? If so is it only certain types of ROMs? Kinda confused

Best thing you can do is more reading. Read about the Loki exploit, read the TWRP thread, read the CWM thread.
After you read, you should have a better idea of what you want to do.
In my opinion, the simplest thing to do is download GooManager and use it to install TWRP. TWRP is a fine custom recovery. However, I would then go to the (OUDHS) CWM thread and flash the CWM zip (using TWRP) to get CWM for your custom recovery. CWM is also a very fine custom recovery, plus, shabbypenguin has cooked in the ability for it to Loki ROMs for you. Again read about it yourself and if you have any questions use the forums "search" function to answer them or look in the threads I listed. Good luck.

If you go the OUDHS (CWM) route you can flash any that would otherwise be safe to flash if the bootloader were unlocked. Like I said, the CWM thread has a lot of information about which ROMs are flashable already in that thread.

ill read through it again...thanks!!
I have an overseas rom for i9505 that I really want to use on my I337 (AT&T). However it does not come with any custom rom beside those 1.7GB .md5 stock roms. I have tried using CASUAL Root and Recovery to install TWRP, but I got stuck at how I should install the rom that I have. From my experience I should have a flashable zip on my hand. I then look at Kitchen and Loki but I am totally confused about it. Can anyone point me to the right direction about how what to do with the i9505 rom that I wish to install? Thanks.

Follow the instructions in this link. If it seems to foreign to you, stop and don;t attempt to flash anything until you have a clear understanding. Several people in this forum have put together threads intended to help.

I know that thread. It seems like the prerequisite is to have a custom rom. In my case I don't have a custom rom that's why I got stuck here...

There is no prerequisite to have a custom rom already installed. You need to be rooted with a custom recovery. You flash the rom in recovery. Twrp and cwm are recoveries.

No I am not talking about a "custom rom already installed". What I mean is, the rom needs to be CWM flashable, which is a ZIP file containing Meta-INF, which is also a "custom rom". However, the only file I have access is MD5 file which is an ODIN file. I think I can't flash the ODIN file in TWRP, right?
no locked bootloader will check security of the md5, however ...in your case you can get a linux and un tar the md5... make a flashable..patch with loki..and flash

I have installed Ubuntu (does it work??) through VM...Move the files (I9505ZHUAME3 and Loki_mater) to Ubuntu, then I am lost...Any very detailed tutorial anywhere?
Hi all,
I'll be getting the S4 very soon (don't have it quite yet), but want to be ready.
Can someone point me to CWM 6.0.3.2 in an ODIN flashable file? I see the IMG here, but don't think IMGs are ODIN flashable, correct?

I'm not sure about Odin, but I always install CWM through RomManager in the play store. It's much more hassle free, and all you need is a rooted phone.

But these are ZIPs. Can I flash this with Odin for Windows?
Why don't you just use the zip ?

Well, I can't use the ZIP because I am not yet rooted. I'm sure the answers are around here somewhere... but the easiest way I find to root (and unroot) is to flash a rooted kernel or ROM from Odin...
Got it. CF Root and ROM Manager... Now, to pick out a ROM.... I don't suppose Cyanogenmod is ready for daily use is it?
Easiest thing to.not get confused. Is to root your phone. Download goo manager from the play store and install twrp then flash the cwm touch zip.

Is it any different on the latest official lollipop update?
Do i just flash TWRP through download mode and install the rom in the normal way?
Thanks. Im a noob with the S4. My previous phone was the HTC One X

Flash a recovery then flash a ROM. I recommend reading the tutorials in the General section, but there's nothing special involved in installing a custom ROM.
Whats the knox bootloader?

At first root your phone then Flash TWRP RECOVERY, download a custom rom for your model ,put the rom on external SD CARD and flash it in Twrp .
DO SOME SEARCHING AT FIRST
Flashing TWRP maybe won't work without root (just replied to post with issue) i had this issue also
