My only nandroid is a stocked MDC rooted rom - unmodified other than root and recovery. I can get the upgrade notification and it takes me to recovery to upgrade when I select reboot and then it asks me if I want to replace or remove my recovery (or something like that). My question is if I do select that will I just upgrade to pure stock MDL/MF9 without root and with stock recovery? Or is that possible?

I have recently rooted my S4 and would like to flash Paranoid Android but am currently stuck trying to figure out which recovery to you. My last phone was a Droid X2 where the options were very limited for basically everything, as it has a very locked bootloader, which made things easy. What would be the most stable recovery to use? How should I flash it (Odin or otherwise)?

TWRP works great, and you can flash it using the Goo Manager app in the Play Store.

I had terrible luck with Goo. I use Philz Touch for recovery & never had an issue, yet
Thanks guys. I'll give goomanager a try and if that doesn't work I'll switch to Philz. @P1NK13P13 how would I flash that? Would I just use ROM Manager?

Personally, I used Odin to install. It was super easy & fast. I'd type it out, but I'm at work. Here's everything you need to know:

Thanks. I was looking at the thread in the development section and didn't notice the link to the instructions.

Potentially dumb question here but I tried searching and couldn't find an answer...
If my current setup is: rooted, stock MDL and I want to flash a ROM (specifically Xousos v.2.0 found in the android development forum) that states it is based on MF9 do I need to upgrade my stock version prior to flashing the new ROM? Is that a frivolous step or is it necessary?
Thanks in advance!
Thanked you on accident. No you don't. Just wipe data/cache/dalvik then flash the ROM. Flash the mf9 modem if you want that too.

Thanked you on purpose. :good:
Thanks for the info
question - I have that ROM and love it so far. I don't know what an mf9 modem is though. Am I missing something I should have?

So I updated my phone yesterday, hoped for some miracle update, then I decided today to install GE-rom. But it is no longer rootable, it pushes the files through adb, then the rooting process fails. So I think it's the same like AT&T? anyone can confirm it? Thanks
Well at least we got app2sd
Have you tried any other processes?
I lost audio when I flashed my modem via mobile Odin yesterday. Had to Odin back to stock Rogers. Did the OTA. Flashed twrp, booted into recovery and flashed supersu zip. Had root on boot. I tried it out quickly before switching back to carbon. The new 4.3 build may not support the current root process, not sure, but there are 4.3 builds that are pre-rooted

I have a Telus 337M and was able to root with after installing TWRP through ODIN on our latest MG1 update.

it works try another procedure.
So I put the safestrap recovery on my i1337 in hopes of flashing a stock rom to it. I followed all steps, and the rom was already loki'd. Now when I boot my phone goes to a black screen and the led flashed a vibrates every few seconds. I still can access the recovery menu and restore with my backup so that isn't a problem. I just want to know what I'm doing wrong and also maybe a link to a proper tutorial on what to do if I am doing something wrong. The rom I was using was KANGAKAT Google-Edition 4.4
You can only use 4.2.2 TW and 4.2.2 GPE. 4.4 is a nogo.
I advise reading both the dev thread located in the development section and the QA thread in the QA section thoroughly.

You can try with AutoRec, as long as you are rooted it should work. And then through the new recovery (TWRP) apply any stock kernel with knock code enabled because you will lose it if you are with 4.4.2. Dorimanx' is pretty decent http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725023.
