EDIT: Flashing Stock to Custom recovery and back to Stock doesn't need any wipe if u are on stock rom right?

you should be all set as long as you are flashing the identical build number. you will likely have to boot into recovery mode and wipe cache though.

[Q] ClockWorkMod is not working

Hi,
I have Note 3 - SM-N900. with ROM SER [Russia].
After flashing the ClockWork, It's not working, see the attachment! I can't choose ZIP file.
Reflash it, that looks like the stock recovery. Make sure you flash the correct one for your device.

Does odin shows 'pass' message?. After successful cwm flash, you phone will reboot and automatically enter cwm. Then after some times it will attempt to reboot to OS. If it ask to flash stock recovery then choose no

Extract the attached .zip and flash the extracted file "recovery.tar.md5" using Odin.

[Q] lost root and can't get it back

Hi all,
I rooted my smg900f two days ago and flashed a recovery, everything went fine, I tried a couple of custom rom and at some point I noticed that I didn't have root access anymore (checked with root checker). I launched towelroot again, and now it says that my device is not supported yet. Does anybody encountered the same issue ?

I have clockwork recovery, I had Omega ROM running on my phone (maybe at this moment I already lost root but I only noticed it after), I tried to flash this mod, it didn't work so after a few tries I full wiped my phone and insalled Omega 8.0 again. Then I noticed I lost root access when trying to open some apps.
I also flashed the bootloader for SMG900F featured in the Omega rom thread
That's about it

Flash CF Auto Root with Odin, your KNOX flag is tripped anyway. Link http://download.chainfire.eu/397/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip.

Then i suggest you flash a stock rom, factory reset and root/flash custom recovery from scratch. Its seems some files are messed up that prevents you to root. Backup important files to the pc/sdcard first. That is what i would do at least

Good luck mate. After the flash and factory reset flash a custom recovery and then the superSU.zip and you`re rooted.

Last question (I hope) I have backup files (from my stock rom) I generated with CWM recovery, but it seems I lost CWM too, can I flash this backup with Odin ?

There should be a folder on the sdcard named Clockworkmod with the backup, save it to the sdcard before you factory reset. No a backup can`t be flashed with Odin, only in recovery

Did you flash a stock rom with Odin or flash a custom rom in 3rd recovery? Just do a data factory reset in recovery, pull the battery and wait 20 seconds and flash a stock rom with Odin.

Need rooted stock TW ROM that won't re-lock bootloader or touch recovery partition

Short story: I need a TouchWiz ROM that I can flash from TWRP that won't re-lock my bootloader or touch the TWRP partition. What's the best one to use?
Longer story: I have SM-G900V running CM 13 that is currently unable to get a GPS lock unless airplane mode is enabled. So far I've been told the only fix for this is (high level instructions):
Nandroid backup of CM 13
Flash TouchWiz ROM
Get GPS lock in TouchWiz ROM
Restore CM 13 nandroid backup
Some of the troubleshooting steps involve root, hence the need for a rooted ROM. Can anyone help?
Download a full stock tar for your device and open it with winrar. Give me a screenshot of all the files inside (aboot, system, etc...)
Screenshot attached as requested.

Extract system.img.ext4, boot.img, modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, into a new folder on your desktop. Then use 7-Zip to make it all into a tar archive. Then flash that using Odin.
This is the PB1 firmware - so you will be on TW 5.0 after flashing it. If you want to be on TW MM, I can help with that too if you like
Thanks so much. And yes, how do I go about doing that for TW MM?
I've since realized that that .tar isn't rooted. Can anyone point me to a rooted TW ROM I could do this with?

Actually I used the Lollipop build as the instructions were much simpler. But I'll try to wipe from recovery and reflashing TW again and see if that works. Failing that, probably going to have to clean install CM and then restore apps using TB update.zip in recovery. Why is everything in mobile so godd*mn hard ...
Got everything working again! Thanks so much for your help!!!
