I am having problems with TWRP when I try to install stock roms
So I am thinking about going to CWM( a auto loki version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291956&highlight=cwm
Anyone succesfully flashing roms using CWM?
I've been using it and it works for me , although twrp did too.
Had major issues with twrp..like the UI but it let me down big time when I needed to restore. Had to Odin back to stock. No issues with CWM

complete newbie here, but I just flashed using TWRP and it worked great...
I too am confused as to which CWM to use. Any links for SGH-I337 that has Loki exploit already added and such?

So two diffent versions of cwm. Which one are people using. Isn't it better to have the auto Loki version?

I use ouhds auto Loki recovery by shabbypenguin
Sent from my WANAM'ED AT&T S4
wasn't 2.5.0.3 the only troublesome twrp--"2.5.0.2" works fine???
done some reading on the other cwm--not shabby's--it is linked in several places, requiring a lot of reading. But, came away with the impression it is still not fully auto "lokified" for us. May have come to the "wrong" conclusion though. It was late at night when reading threads. Would have to re-read everything--
OUDHS is currently the only CWM with the "auto-loki" feature. PhilZ touch cwm (AT&T version) has been lokied to allow for install, but it does not "auto-loki". The Loki-Doki script needs to be used if the kernel / ROM being flashed through it hasn't already been lokied.

Has anyone tried these yet? I'm assuming they'd work since OUDHS has auto-loki now but I haven't tested and don't wanna screw up my phone

yes they work i have been running Tmobile roms since day one of exploit release. been running death star and wicked have fun rom on!!
and yes use shabby's recovery so the auto loki is there. if not you have to flash the rom and a loki kernel( like KT kernel) before you can reboot the device!

How about the kernels? I'm about to see if ChronicKernel will work from the T-Mobile forum
Edit: Damn, no luck for me. Had to go into the zip and edit the updater-script because it would pull "ro.product.device" and check if it was jfltetmo and it wouldn't flash if it wasn't so I changed that to jflteatt and zipped it back up and it installed but would go past the Samsung Custom boot screen, just kept rebooting to there

The kernels need to be lokid...there's a recovery that will auto Loki all kernels so I suggest using that if you plan on flashing roms from other s4 variants...the recovery is in the development section, its hard to miss it says auto Loki in its title

So I am rooted running twrp, and want to flash task650 rom. But I am getting a failure when I try. I also went to cwm and get same thing, status 7. This sucks because I love his rom. From what I understand, he uses a recovery with auto loki, so removed loki from his title. Since I have an unlocked bootloader, and he uses a auto loki recovery. Shouldn't I be able to flash his rom just like with the s3?

I didn't use that method, I used auto root from chainfire then installed twrp from goo, rebooted into recovery and full system wipe and tried flashing as usual. No go. I then flashed cm jfltecan and no problem... So Idk. As far as I know the root method shouldn't make a difference. I am also using latest twrp. I also tried the cwm touch recovery... Stumped!

Well I figured since I just rooted today and installed latest recoveries, np. I am reaching the end of my knowledge on recoveries. Task requires you to use shabby penguins auto loki cwm based recovery.... So problem must be Based on the rom itself maybe

It only requires that recovery for AT&T phones. Install the Canadian recovery and try again.

Just tried again, status 7... If I am running a jfltecan recovery, will it even let me flash a jflteatt file? Could it be as simple as renaming the file?

I guess I will have to go and modify the zip file and remove the assert prop to get it to work, looks like the only way

Your 100% correct...just gotta change the assert in the updater-script (or remove the assert all together)...its put their by default to prevent flashing a different device roms (like HTC one on sgs4) but obviously in our case we don't need to worry about compatibility except for the kernel
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Well if any one finds this thread, it works. I just edited the zip file and deleted assert in script and it flashed NP. But stupidly I used goo to install twrp after I flashed and it automatically installed the loki version. I had to odin the Canadian tar file back to get my recovery working, so any canadians who do what I did, do not update your recovery through rom manager or goo or else it will install the lokified version.

Thanks for that! Now I am not completely up to speed on kernels, I know what they do in a vague way, but will be educating myself in the coming weeks, but shouldn't att kernels work for Canadian devices? If they don't always, what she I be on the lookout for? I will be doing some research on them as I have a chance... Hard right now as I have a 2 year old!

I am new to the LG G2, former Galaxy S user, but I know what I am doing when it comes to flashing and ABD, etc. Just from reading the forums I understand that certain versions of TWRP and CWM will actually do a soft brick of sorts. So, my question is what version is "safe" to install? TWRP 2.6.3.3? CWM 6.0.4.5? Also what are people's thought using freegee to install those versions?
Thank you in advance for any help, and putting up with this n00b question. I have tried to search her and Google for an answer and came up with nothing.

Twrp 2.6.3.3 is what you should use.

I would recommend TWRP as well. Personally didn't use FreeGee but it seems like an easy way to do it. I followed this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670. With little experience using adb, it was simple.

Which roms did you try to flash exactly? You said you flashed through TWRP, you mean safestap? TWRP outside of Safestrap will not work. You need to provide more details if you really want people to be able to help you. Our S4 is not like the phones we had before with unlocked boot loaders. This thing is a pain in the ass, but thanks the great knowledge & efforts of the developers here, we have so many options to flash custom roms
Yes this is much different than my other phones. I tried deadly venom 139, vision x, and hyperdrive. Yes I rebooted to recovery through safestrap

Well I suggest the following. Start over. Use a different computer, use a different usb cable, & then download fresh drivers, Safestrap, rom. & mk2 modules. Who knows, but maybe the downloads you got are bad. Stick with the At&t versions as they tend to go easier. Also don't let experience guide you. Instead, follow the developers instructions. I've lost count how many times I've flashed my Skyrocket but I know how many times I've flashed my S4 cause damn boot loader has me on pins & needles every time. Well not so much since we have the mk2 tar files. Good luck & please post your results.
OK thanks ill give this a go. Might take me some time to get to a different computer and post results.

probably because it hasnt been updaed in GooManager to support the L720T.
I believe there is a TAR file that you can flasg via ODIN. Philz has a great recovery that works and is based on CWM.

You can use any s4 rom I believe, but you will lose the Spark function of the T model if the rom doesn't support it.
Main thing, have a good Nandroid of your working touchwiz system, flash new rom, if you boot loop, nandroid back to your working system.
Before you install a ROM and after making a nandroid. Restore it to make sure it backed up correctly.

Make a note of your firmware and baseband as you may need to reflash to the correct firmware in order to have the best experience. I'm still on MK5. I have decided to be patient and wait. The spark is very noticeable compared to my s3 (i had).
