Hi
So i am new to S4. I rooted it using Chainfire CF root..
So now the next step is to flash recovery
I did read a lot of things on XDa
So what i made up of everything is that I need to Flash a Kernel First and then I can flash the Recovery
is it right ?

You can keep stock kernel and have philz touch recovery, that's what I have done previously. I have noticed a lot of custom recovers are a little buggy still tho still early days for gs4 so I'm still using stock recovery as I use an app called mobile odin and keep my stock firmware on the phone so I can flash anytime

Hi guys,
I am a relative newb to xda and rooting etc and have a query that hopefully someone can help me with. I have flashed a pre rooted mf8 rom via odin and would now like to add the loud volume mod to my s4 i9505! As far as I understand the mod has to be flashed via custom recovery. I still have stock recovery on my s4 and I am not sure on how to flash a custom recovery or which one I should use. Apologies if this is the wrong thread and thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Look HERE
Choose one of the 4 recoveries available .
Installation instructions are on the thread.
as far as i know there are currently 3 custom recoverys available.
im using philz touch recovery.
download newest version as .tar.md5, put it in odin as pda, and flash it just like you did with the pre rooted rom.

Thanks... just flashed via odin... worked a treat. Now for that sound mod file.. Thanks again!
Hi all. I just wanted to check the best way to root. Do I download and flash through odin one of the pre rooted rooms then Flash custom recovery or can I Flash the recovery in odin and then install a pre rooted rom in zip form?

Easiest way is to just flash pre rooted rom in odin.
However, I flashed custom recovery then flashed supersu zip...
Whichever suits you...

Thanks. I was going to download the deoxed one in the development thread, my baseband is my and build is m17. Is that still on to flash that one?
Been doing a lot of reading but still not sure about all this locked bootloader and stuff
Remember easiest isn't always best custom recovery gives u more options but pre rooted ROM is good

Hey just wanted to let you know my phone started to work by doing thank you so much.
I have one more question I rooted my phone again and used twrp recovery this time and tried flashing darthstalker rom again and it flashed all the way through but when it rebooted it said there was no root found and suggested me to install superuser within twrp recovery mode so bottom of the story it was telling me there's no rom?
What am I doing wrong again?

No root or no ROM? -- If no root, then it'll ask you to install it via TWRP (My HTC done this also) -- No ROM would mean it wouldn't boot into anything just the Samsung bootloop.
It's OK to install superSU via TWRP btw. The ROM may not have come Pre-Rooted or you chose the UnRooted version.

No Rom. What does it mean that rom might not have came pre-rooted?
So you don't have the custom ROM installed? -- has darthstalker... installed? -- When you install a recovery you normally root the phone also.
*The ROM that you installed might not have come with Root privileges added* -- But if you don't have a custom ROM then it won't matter to you.

No I don't have custom rom installed. I have twrp recovery installed and after I'm done flashing darthstalker it shows no rom installed and I get stuck with samsung boot loop. It's really weird never had this problem on any of my other phones.
Could be that the ROM isn't compatible then, try another ROM?

okay I will give it a try.
Tried with cwm recovery and same problem.
Interesting, Head over to the TWRP thread and post the error, they may be able to help you.
Hi all, im a noobie with samsung devices and this whole Odin thing so decided to ask here before messing up things.
So, i want to install a custom rom. I rooted my device with towelroot just a while ago, so now i only need a CWM recovery.Can i just download the latest CWM .tar file for note 3 and flash it through Odin? Will the fact that i rooted using towelroot have any impact on this? Also, will towelroot stick when flashing the CWM recovery, or flashing a new rom?
Can Rom Manager be used to install CWM, as i understand that it is a supported device. Is it a worse way than going through Odin?
My plan is to make a backup with CWM and then probably flash X-Note rom if all goes how i planned it.
Sorry if these questions are answered somewhere, couldn't find with browsing and searching for a good while.
Im on N9005 and 4.4.2
Thanks for all help!

Use this to install CWM through Odin it is better.
When u flash the new ROM and after wiping, the root using towelroot will be gone but probably the rom u'll be flashing will already be rooted or u can root easily with CF auto root.
I recommend TWRP over CWM, especially for a new flasher
Cheers!

Towelroot doesn´t trip Knox but don´t forget that custom ROM or recovery trip know to 0x1.
Don´t use any ROM managers etc. It make a lot of problems with phone

Yeah i am aware of that, btw does it matter if im using Odin v. 1.85? Does it have to be 3.x or so?
Edit: Sry the Odin i have is Odin3 v.1.85
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
