Is it really that easy to install custom roms?

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?

Yep you dhont need ulcoking bootloader just go t android devolpment and djembay thread you will find odin end rooted stock rom

No you do not need to be rooted before hand - flash custom recovery then the custom rom.

[Q] Bypass Flash Counter I 9500 - Flash Custom Recovery

Hi all,
Is it possible too flash a custom recovery via goo manager in a stock root injected I-9500 ?
If yes then wouldn't we be able to flash roms without odin via the recovery and the flash counter would remain at zero ?
I am tempted to try this. But seems too simple for others not to have tried this before me.
Let me know if I am totally missing something and if some one has tried this before.

Not possible to install custom software on and from a not rooted S4 atm. Security has tightened since the S and S2.

I am rooted.

Then you allredy have the counter raised, 1 or 10 will not make a difference for warranty. That`s gone allready bro if they check that and unfortunately triangle Away doesn`t work yet for the I9500.

I have used this for root.

Problem with SuperSU

I Have note 3 n900 with official 4.4.2 ... I flashed Super SU 2.01 From the CWM recovery but now i faced this ERROR!

You need a custom kernel too. Flash CF Root THEN flash Supersu.zip

did you intend to root your device ?
if so, you can't just flash supersu app. It is not as simple as that. Go to CF-Autoroot thread and download for your device/firmware.

CF-Autoroot never change kernel / recovery. It will still be stock recovery with stock kernel after you flash it
And you don't need custom kernel just to root by CF-Autoroot.

[Q] Flashify to flash recovery

Hello Everyone just want to ask before I go to root and install recovery Im still stock and not rooted so heres my idea to root and install custom recovery
1. Root using towelroot
2. Install recovery using Flashify
3. Install custom rom
can this method work? anyone have tried this? since I dont want to use odin because Im still noob
TIA

Towel root may not work, you may have to use Odin because Samsung patched their kernels.

It's personal preference, but I personally like to use TWRP.
