Flash Philz Touch recovery from here http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...oYgAjwGhpXgFeQpbRFsAaOQ&bvm=bv.50310824,d.ZWU. Download the .tar file and flash with Odin 3.04 in PDA. Imo the best recovery atm with the least issues.

do I need to delet the current CWM somehow first? Do I enter this Philz Touch recovery as usual with vol up + home + powerbutton?

Philz Touch will overwrite CWM and yes boot with volume up + power button + home button into recovery.

It works if you tell that app you installed CWM manually and select the right version but wiping cache and dalvik doesnt work properly it seems.

Ohhhh ok

install or update and recover already installed.
none of those options displays note 3 as a compatible device.

You still need to flash recovery after you rooted. so download a custom recovery and flash it or use goomanager and use the install openrecovery script option to install twrp
Use odin to flash philz touch recovery

[Q] What recovery to use?

Ok, just rooted my sgs4. No problems, except I downloaded cwm and it doesn't work. Can't even boot into recovery. Honestly, I just want to make nandroid backup before before I do anything else. Suggestions?

Yes, if you don't want to use Odin you can just install goo manager from the Play store, open app, settings, install open script recovery, you will now have twrp as your recovery, then just flash the zip(philz recovery jflte zip) with twrp, reboot recovery, you will now be on philz, lots of people like twrp also, I just prefer philz

Thanks. Goo worked. But, can't get into recover by powering down then holding power, home, and vol up. Can only get into it through goo. Is that normal, or did I do something wrong. No big deal, but just wondering why it's like that.

Weird, in order to get into recovery you just need to hold the power and volume up button when starting phone or just volume up when rebooting , you can also use wanam and pick power settings, add reboot to recovery.. If your just going to stay on stock rooted and debloat, theme ect, DL Xposed framework and use wanam, gravity box ect.. Xposed is a great app

[Q] No Recovery after Bootloader Unlock?(!)

ok so i used TowelRoot to root the phone, then the Motopacolypse apk to unlock bootloader. Root is fine, and iget the "unlocked bootloader warning" screen everytime i turn on my phone. next step would be to install recovery so i can flash ROMs right? downloaded ROM manager, dled and installed CWM, but i cant restart into recovery. i used ROM Managers option, and i just a normal boot. I try holding down the power + volume down button, and i still get a normal boot. any clue on whats going on?
Give holding power and both + - volume controls all at once to boot into the boot loader. From there press - to select recovery option and press + to go into recovery. That should get you there if the recovery indeed flashed.

nice one! im still getting a normal boot, how do i install custom recovery?
The recovery you flashed isn't compatible with the M more the likely... Try these ...twrp for KitKat second from the bottom.... Try flashing the recovery with rashr ... Give me a second I'll find CWM

TWR is the only one that (finally) worked for me. THANKS
TWRP and CWM are not official for this phone, that's why you can't load them up through ROM Manager. Either way, nice to see you have it working now.
i just flashed TWRP successfully using Flashify (plya store) and TWRP 2710 for razrM from Dhacker.
total time to download install and flash - about 2 minutes
