CWM tar'd for Odin [ready to flash] - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I tar'd all CWM versions for all aviable S4 devices. You can flash the recoveries over the "PDA" Button in Odin.

You have to unlock your bootloader to flash the recovery.

[Q] Known good MF3 root and recovery?

I am reading a lot of folks who are having issues with the Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T MF3 build and I don't want to become one! Can some users that has been using "known good" methods for a bit confirm what root method and recovery you are using, please?
Thank you, Moniker

Search for the exFAT card reader method its very easy for root.some people are also using kango root exploit as well
Search Safestrap for its making flashing ROMs safe and easy for most.
That's the only options available for our ATT I337 S4

Is there a compatible official firmware (odin flashable) that I can revert to, not finding any for the MF3.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
you can root on mf3. there are guides in general i think. you can not unlock your bootloader though, only the pre mf3 gs4s can.
It is kingo root. It is easier than the exFAT method.
There is no Odin for MF3. Look for Safestrap.

Yeah kingo is more noob friendly, run program > hit root (pushes supersu) > enjoy :3

So I can't return to stock and reset the flash counter if I needed to!?! I am only familiar with flashing Samsung devices with the official firmware via Odin and using triangle away to achieve that...

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Not really possible ATM. No tar file available. So you are in a way stuck with 4.3 rooted.

Not really unless cnexus makes a stock odexed rom then we can just flash that, flash stock kernel and stock recovery and unroot. Then do a factory wipe. But we dont have those files so if you modded your phone. You stuck until we can get a working tar or the files needed.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I think I saw in the general section that there is a tar file for Odin now. You may want to check there
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes, the full MJA tar file is available on sammobile.com, download it and flash with odin.

[Q]Locked bootloader?

I have a question if I can install sacs kk v3 on my l720, L720VPUEMK2?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
also if I don't like can I restore the back up I made using Teamwin
Yes you can. Bootloaders on sprint do not block you from using ANY custom ROM.

How would I go about installing sacs kk v3

Search and follow instructions on sacs thread. With the questions you are asking I hope you know how to root and install a custom ROM if you haven't done so already.

Rooted plus I backed up using TWRP
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
TWRP crashes on wipe and restore what is going on?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Might be a bad backup or recovery, try flashing the newest version and then try your restore again. Worst-case, your backup is corrupted and you'll need to start fresh on whatever ROM you have.
Are you trying to restore your backup for some reason?
Found out it was TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery, but the backups go through and when I reboot it hangs at galaxy s4 screen. Scas custom rom would hang at Android kit kat rotating loading screen. I did give it 10 mins just in case it was the first boot but it never booted.

You need to use Philz or TWRP 2.7.0.1
Odin the recovery for best results and when flashing a ROM reboot recovery after doing wipes, then install ROM
Will safestrap work?

There is no need for safe strap . the bootlaoder is unlocked. If you're talking about the safe strap Roms from Verizon. They should work.

Are you 100% sure, It's a knox 4.3 bootloader.

Sprint phones NEVER require safestrap. That is a Verizon thing because they have locked bootloaders. I'm on NAE rooted with Knox tripped and don't have any issues flashing Roms.

[Q] Stock recovery missing!!!

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.
