just go s4 and it is stock still. I want to go for custom ROM like S4. I looked around the forum but couldn't find a way to flash the custom ROM lik mega..
Can someone point me a thread on this?
Should I just use ODIN to flash the recovery like twr and then boot into recovery to flash the custom ROM?
will then the rom be root as for custom ROM.

First Root using Odin
Then install philz recovery odin
Go to recovery wipe factory data, cache, dalvik
Then install ROM from internal or sd card
Reboot all done :thumbup:
Above method I m saying for i9500/ 9505 other device
And I suggest u atleast give your mobile variants so we can post links also along with it

thank you very much.
I am looking around.
could you provide the odin link to download and
the instruction to root?
could I use twrp recovery? I used twrp for my sensation previously.
Any instruction to flash twrp. I guess it should also be done from odin.
Thanks.
btw: The model is 9505 in dk 3.

So u saying u not able to get cwm recovery and have only root access
How are u trying to go for recovery
After flashing the same using odin
to go to recovery u have power off the device
Press volume up + home + power button all together till samsung appear and then leave and see u should have recovery

you are right. I could get to the recovery after odin.
my mistake when holding the button to start recovery.
But I just need to use volume up + power button.
for download mode, I just need volume down + power button.
just another question, is it required to root the phone to odin cwm
recovery? Thanks.

I've tried everything. TWRP, CWM. They won't stick when I try to flash them with ODIN. It just goes boots to the stock recovery. WTF is up??? Please help
(Running ODIN as admin, as well as without. Tried 1.85 and 3)
The only recovery I've ever tried is oudhs. It has a check, when you first install and run it. The check lets you know that if you reboot and do nothing, the phone will revert back to stock recovery, then it will ask if you want to fix that. Choose yes and it fixes that safeguard. Simple. Also with Odin, use the version that is suggested in the tar.md5 posts for the original firmware. Older versions might not work right or mess things up because it's a newer phone.

I used CF-autoroot to root my phone then I installed goomanger. In goomanger click menu > install openrecoveryscript. It will install twrp 2.6.0. Once complete click reboot recovery and it should boot into recovery. Let me know if this give you any issues.
Yes the trick to installing recovery that nobody really talks about is to uncheck "auto reboot". Let it pass. Pull the battery. Hold volume up and power and go into recovery. The goomanager. Methed also works.

Can someone please help me get out of this soft brick because I am really stuck. Currently I am getting the error message that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." but I have done that and it has failed on both mac and windows 7. I have also tried flashing stock build UCUAMDL 4.2.2 firmware via odin 1.7, 1.85 and 3.07 and I have also used the PIT files along with re-partitioning and F. Reset Time. Every single time in odin it has gotten to system.img.ext4 and then failed immediately following. A couple of times I have been able to get into stock recovery mode and it stated an error that the /system partition could not be accessed and I wiped cache/system/data and then tried rebooting and it stayed in the big white galaxy s4 letters and didn't even go to the boot logo. Based on this can anyone help me please???? If there's an existing thread can you please let me know? Thanks!
Which model do you have? What firmware are you on?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
sounds like you wiped your phone when you wiped system/data, why did you do that
you have nothing to boot
kies don't work with iMac
yeah give all the phone info you have, model, build, etc. build may be on your box
i think you can now only flash stock firmware thru Odin to recover, but if you were mf3, you may need to go to bestbuy and see samsung reps to flash phone. don't have any experience at that or using odin
stay on windows pc to do this
may be tomorrow till you get some help from others
good luck

Sorry I forgot to mention that it's a SGH-I337 as well and I was running the jamal 4.3 AOSP ROM
well then you are with what custom recovery?
and you are not mf3
sounds like the mf3 update was trying to flash. did you not delete the update files with Titanium so the Update would not run
can you boot into recovery and restore a nandroid

i gotta call it a nite. maybe some west coasters can help since they are 3 hours behind us
but, please don't say you don't have a nandroid--
i think this is fixable--:good:
restoring a nandroid backup could solve your problem, did you try flashing with fastboot instead? When you installed AOSP ROM were you using a toolkit? If so did you flash a temp recovery?

Do you have an i337. We don't have fastboot. Our bootloader is locked.

I don't have one, although do you think that I can flash a custom recovery with a PIT file because that seems to be the only thing that works. Also I do not have a nandroid backup. Is there somewhere that I can download someone's already made?

That's close enough. That means you aren't on mf3.
Edit, have you tried to odin the stock firmware? Never mind I see you have
I would download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and try Odin again on a pc. Either version of odin is ok, 1.85 or 3.07.
When you use Odin only have auto-reboot checked, Don't check re-partition.
also, if you are running a custom rom you have a custom recovery
cwm or twrp?

They key word here is that I WAS running a custom recovery when all of this started. It was actually the recovery that started all of this. What happened specifically was I tried to update TWRP via goo manager and whenever I tried to go into recovery it gave me the error that at&t has detected unauthorized software on my phone which I thought was weird because I believe that goo manager auto-lokis. Anyway I tried using other apps to add a custom recovery like ROM manager by clockworkmodz and nothing worked. I then tried to flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 via odin and that's what sent my phone into the state that it's in now. Something that confuses me even more is is that whenever I plug in my phone a battery logo comes up that I don't recognize and then freezes.

Have you re-downloaded the firmware? It could be a bad download. Are you using the .tar.md5 file
When you get it sorted use twrp 2.5.0.2. I think I posted a zip for you.

When you flashed twrp with odin are you sure it was for your device? I think you might have borked your partitions.

That is possible, I know what is causing this has something to do with the partitions being messed up since I can't access /system in the stock recovery mode
hello i ran into some problems when installing cyanogen mod 11 on my s4 using ODIN. i putted the cm11 file into the BT field in odin, now my phone is not booting, is my bootloader broken? i can not find the BT file anywhere. is there any other solution. also it sometimes goes to the cmw recovery and sometimes it does not. i don't know if this info can help. thanks
BT file ?
Cm11 through odin?
Are you kidding me?
Can you enter download mode again?
Flash recovery in odin, and then flash CM11 in recovery

Download an unbranded KK rom. The last is for Uk but it doesnt matter the country. Look at s4 general forum there there is an topic with all the firmwares availables.
If you dont have sdcard it doesnt matter to. You can flash via cwm from internal storage any custom rom. If you fix that root your phone, install philz recovery and then try to flash cm11 via CWM

If you have sucessfully flash twrp you don't need to use odin again to flash another recovery you can do it by flashing it from the same recovery.You'd only need ODIN when you cant access your recovery and need to enter download mode to flash recovery.I hope you are using img.tar file to flash twrp via odin and not .zip
