I'm using TWRP recovery on my s4, but I think it's garbage because of it's useless interface, it doesn't seem to let me slide when navigating my storage to find specific files, is too sensitive to a single touch, etc. So I'm wanting an alternative.
Are there any other recoveries which work well on the s4? I'm used to clockworkmod and 4ext since I have used both of them on my old phone, but I can't seem to find if they're any good on this phone or if they're even available yet.
Any suggestions or download links?

Hi,
OH how I wish there was a 4EXT option.
You are not alone in looking for a 100% reliable custom recovery.
Unfortunately , they do not appear to exist ,yet.

CWM from Chenglu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279579
Works flawless and with exFat support :good:
So I've tried all but Ubouto or whatever its called.
The original CWM does seem to work very well but it has limited options. I have always thought the menus were haphazardly organized, like the way willing cache is on the main wipe screen but dalvik is in a separate 'advanced' menu. And there is no ability to mount USB in cwm. Or to save a nandroid to the external SD card if you start the process in recovery (rather than start from ROM Manager and elect the external SD card from the app). Also the text is REALLY small on the gs4.
Those things aside CWM is a workhorse. It ain't pretty but it gets the job done. And it doesn't fail. I don't honestly know if the touch version works for the gs4 yet.
Philztouch is pretty and much easier to use with the touch interface. Its very customizable to make the GUI look and work the way you need it to. But hints quirky still. Like you can mount the USB and it works, but after you are done you have to reboot back into recovery to do anything else. Mounting USB seems to kill all other functionality until a reboot. This is not a huge inconvenience. But it can be frustrating before you release a simple reboot cures it.
Twrp is the easiest to use with big huge buttons. But USB mounting doesn't work yet.
So none of them are perfect yet. But they are all also less than 2 months old so that is to be expected. This is in no way a complaint about any of these.
By the way, I use the t mobile variant of the gs4. User experience may vary on the 9505 or 9500

As far as I know original CWM does not support exFat ... but it might have been changes recently ?
CWM from Chenglu does

You can also use RECOVERY FLASHER
This will flash recoveries straight from your phone.

So, if otg isn't working in twrp, what is everyone doing as a workaround?
My last device was the N5 and I would flash a different ROM a few times a month or more. I always preferred to wipe everything, including internal storage, then install the ROM clean and fresh.
With the OPT, I've just been doing normal wipe and flashing over top. Problem is that the sdcard is getting cluttered with folders from previous installs.
I was hoping to be able to wipe internal storage, connect the OPT to my laptop and sideload the ROM using adb. The OPT doesn't show up when I use 'adb devices'. It just says 'List of devices'... I've installed the naked and universal drivers. No luck.
So for now it looks like I'm stuck without a way to wipe the device clean and start fresh, unless someone else has figured out a way to get it to work.

I'm in the same situation
But I have rooted and Xposed + "kerneled" my phone several times since I have mine and you can be sure, wiping everything but internal storage is clearly the exact same thing as cleaning everything, since internal storage only contains files like your downloads, music, photos... and some apps files but never configuration or settings files.
You really start from scratch if you wipe everything but internal storage.

I would make a back up, and then copy it to the computer, but if you REALLY mess something up, that will do you no good because you won't be able to restore, my workaround for the OTG in TWRP was to get a Nexus 6 LOL
I have a Canadian S7 edge and it had been rooted for a long time, but I lost the root when I updated to android 7.0.0. I foolishly tried to root it the exact same way I had before (Odin and .tar file method) and now my phone refuses to fully power on. After the boot logo, some new "integrity verification" has failed and I get a message saying my only option is apparently to factory reset and loose everything since my last backup. I'm wondering if there's any way to either:
a) Recover my data first. My PC won't read my phone at the "integrity verification failure" screen, however, my phone can boot into download mode (still unreadable, though). I've tried a few sketchy phone recovery programs on free trials, and none of them were able to read my phone (though none seemed high-quality anyway).
b) Flash stock firmware and fix this all. I am currently downloading stock 7.0 firmware and CSC files for my region/carrier, and I'm wondering if flashing this will pass the "integrity" check and put me safely back to square one, or if I'll lose everything there too.
I don't have a custom recovery currently either, though I realize that wiping my phone would mean I could quickly do that. But caving and wiping my phone is the last thing I want to do here. Any help here would be extremely appreciated!
First of all .. I think flash Stock ROM will erase all data.
but if you can flash custom recovery by ODIN and mount USB Storage to PC and manual backup your data .. it will be good idea if it possible.

If I flashed custom recovery, what exactly do you mean by mounting USB Storage to PC? Is that something I could do in the custom recovery (TWRP for example)?
Also, I'm okay with losing system settings or apps, but internal storage like images and music is what I really want to save.

Yes .. TWRP Exactly has option to mount device internal storage or micro sd card storage to PC so you can transfer files between device and PC.

So does this all mean that there's no way to root the S7 edge on Nougat yet, or is there a different way that'll work fine and I just made a dumb mistake?

When I say "no-go" I mean it's something that won't work. TWRP looks like it doesn't work anymore, when I read your problem that you posted, and the warnings on the TWRP website and XDA page.
I did some reading and it looks like flashing my stock ROM shouldnot delete my internal storage data, so I think that might be my only chance. If it doesn't work either, I'll factory reset, because I don't want to risk the same error you had.

I'm currently factory resetting my phone (goodbye phone data ). I tried to flash a stock ROM and after a few failed attempts, it failed so bad I got a message saying the only thing I could do now was factory reset LOL. Not much I can do now but be glad I didn't 100% ruin my phone I guess.
I may try rooting again in the future, but I'll have to learn how to do it your way, since my way doesn't work right now.

I have tried the CF-Auto-Root method twice now, both resulting in being stuck on boot like the other times. However, maybe I needed to wait longer? Next time I attempt a root I will leave the phone alone for at least 15 minutes before I call it a failure. Still, the post you linked seems to be for older firmware. Would you still recommend the method for Nougat? Thanks for the reply.

I think I've isolated the problem. After using adb sideloader to install magisk and antiroot remover, I'm prompted to reboot. In other guides, there is a further options screen after pressing the reboot button which has a couple checked boxes and a button that says "Do Not Install". I see this screen for maybe a third of a second after selecting Reboot before the device reboots on its own. Just tried this and now I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo once again.
Note: There are many errors in the adb sideloader log relating to being unable to mount/unmount /data/ and stuff like that that I know are related to having an SD inserted.
Edit: I should also note that I am new to android. Fresh newbee from iOS, but I have been jailbreaking for the past 9 years. Still in over my head I think.

Update: Still stuck on Samsung boot logo after 15+ minutes after successfully loading from usb drive. TWRP still skipped right by the reboot options screen after the install... I have no clue why it's doing that. It's like it's taking the command to reboot after I press the button and processing it while it is going to the next screen. I don't know. Hopefully someone does. It's so close!

Hey guys,
Recently after flashing the latest AICP rom, my internal storage is no longer working!!! No matter what I did, I restored to back up, changed rom, format data or change data system file, nothing worked!!!
I cannot take any photo or screenshot or even download images due to limited storage eventhough I have 50 g worth of free space!!! I can only ever access anything through TWRP (that is a good sign, I think)!!!
Did some research, but was told that I need to qfil?! Can someone give me a simple and easy instruction to do that if it is what it takes to fix it? This is really the first time I ever heard of qfil!!! While I would say that I am comfortable with technology, this is reaally out there for me and I will be the first one to admit that I am a noob here!!!
Please help me out as I am really desperate and I really love this phone!!!

Thanks for the response! I think that I might have already done what you mentioned! I have formatted the storage (do you mean the format data in the wipe function?)
Is it the same thing as an otg pen drive if I sideload latest rom into the device to flash? Because that is what l have done!
Thanks!

had this issue in my Lex727
for this u'll need an otg pen drive.
download latest twrp, & required rom
transfer them into pen drive
now boot into twrp and format storage via twrp itself(do not reboot yet)
update to the latest twrp/if u r on latest twrp u might wana change it and flash rom after that.
at last reboot ur device and voilaaaa ur internal storage shown as it is.

After you format internal storage through twrp( inwipe menu) its mendatory you flash latest/diffrent twrp. After that you may flash any rom and reboot once.
Let me know if these are the exact steps you took.
