I had this happen as well. To be honest I'm not sure what fixed it. Either a reboot or flashing another rom probably (was on the same version TW roms so not sure why that would matter). Goomanager did that once and next time I went in it found the recovery and installed.
Just to check but you are installing from menu/installopenrecoveryscript correct and not trying to search for it correct?
correct, im not doing the search just trying to have goo find it via menu/installopenrecoveryscript. as i said before i have tried this through several differant roms both AOSP and TW and have yet to get it to work.

Ive searched through every forum and website I can find on google nothing works. Im running frf91 that I manually updated to. I got my bootloader unlocked but I cant root it. Ive tried several downgrade methods none work. The thread at here on xda stuck on frf91 the file they have dosent download it hangs and stops downloading. Ive tried downloading it at my about 5 time and a buddy house about 10 times ive tried downloading it with a diffrent browser nothing works. Im out of ideas guys.
Why do you want to downgrade? That has nothing to do with rooting. Just flash the custom recovery and then whatever rom you want, even a stock rooted frf91. You're already unlocked, just do the next two steps, custom recovery and custom rom.

i tried to flash the custom recovery image and on the command line it says it flashed when I go to recovery mode it just the stock recovery, its like it cant be flashed because its blocked.
Tried following these instructions from the Dev forum yet?

Well, that has nothing to do with your current rom at all. You are unlocked. You don't have to roll back to flash the custom recovery. You're probably just not understanding the directions, try again.

yes the file I have to download on this thread hangs everytime been trying to download it since sunday even left the download on all day while I was at work hangs everytime. Ill try to root it again tonight and let you guys know what happens, I would try now but my windows xp dosent recognize my nexus one even with the sdk drivers and reinstalling root hub drivers and even deleting the usb device log in the registry, my phone dosent prompt me to mount in usb mode even with debugging on, it just charges thats it. So I have to go to a friends house for the past 2 nights just to do anything with my N1.

Try flashing Philz Touch recovery, its the most stable recovery imo. Available for both the I9500 and I9505.Flash the .tar file with Odin in PDA.
I keep getting the message e signature verification failed. i have used auto root. i have enabled usb debugging. i have done everything in the steps of the rooting process and flashing process.
Slight progress
So I downloaded CWM recovery again and toggled off signature verification and I successfully managed to install my ROM. New porblem now, when I reboot the device it goes straight back to recovery mode every single time? Help please?
Hi - so I dont know if you guys think Im being stupid and/or lazy and havent found the right thread or if I am just asking a stupid question. If I am would someone kindly point me in the right direction and forgive my ignorance. If I am not being stupid can someone PLEASE help me with an answer. I have posted on several forums with this question and no one seems prepared to offer a solution. This is by no means a rant at forum members - I just hate being defeated by technology - and I have waited a week now for someone to offer me some much needed guidance.
ive had my note 3 for awhile and have avoided rooting or modding it in any way for quite sometime, but i rooted the stock firmware i believe it was 4.4.2???? im not 100% with towelroot and i was able to install safestrap thats where my success ended I didnt make any backups for whatever dumb reason and also it has been quite sometime since modding any phones, now my phone wont boot into any rom ive tried i have tried two so far and i cant get the factory one back, half the time i cant install roms and the rest of the time they work but they wont boot ive tried creating rom slots but those dont work, read somewhere they arent supported in 4.4.2 ???? and when i tried overwriting the factory it still didnt work, now my phone wont boot into anything anymore and im not quite sure what i did wrong and if there is any way to fix it, i would have like to install knoxraid on this phone since it supposedely fixes the gps issues lots of people have when i try to install that particular rom i get a successful message but then when i wipe cache/dalvik it work and then i hit reboot nothing happens, all i get is a black screen oh and its says that safestrap is disabled

May I know which variant on Note3 you are using.
and what's the OS version? 4.3? or 4.4.2 or 4.4.4
what's your region (CSC).??
I would suggest you to go into download mode and download appropriate stock firmware from SamMobile or from Samsung Updates (Link for N9005) and flash Stock ROM using ODIN.
Thanks.
Hello there!
I've successfully rooted my (Rogers) S5 Active / G870WVLU1ANH3 / kltevlactive using CF Auto Root, blowing my knox and all that, works great.
However, I'm now trying to flash either TWRP or CWM Philz for klte (which may have not been to smart come to think about that, but I recall reading it should work just fine) using Odin, and I can't get into recovery. Whenever I attempt to boot into recovery, I end up with "cannot do normal boot".
I recall reading a SafeStrap for G900 works for the G870, but I can't find the thread again, and don't want to just try and see what happens.
I've also tried flashing a recovery using either TWRP app and RomManager, I have yet to try Rashr, but since all the recoveries I've found are for klte, instead of kltevlactive, I'm slightly worried.
I'm not all that new to rooting, but I'm quite new (and upset ) at the Samsung realm, any chance you guys would know what could get me going with a custom recovery?
I also have a Xposed Framework installed, I read it could cause issues with SafeStrap, but I don't suppose it would affect flashing a rom from Odin/whatever else?
My SELinux on the phone claims to be "Enforcing", if that matters, perhaps.
Thanks!
Im having The same issue please help
Sent from my SM-G870W using XDA Free mobile app
Any luck on this? I've scoured the forums with no luck, although I see people mentioning they have it.
I am experiencing something similar. I have a rooted SM-G870W (Bell). I tried both TWRP and CWM recovery.
Every time I tried to go to recovery mode either via pressing button combo or from adb (adb reboot recovery),
my phone goes into download mode instead, I get "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen.
Have you also experienced some weirdness with your rooted phone? On mine if I go into boot into recovery
(this is without custom recovery), do nothing but select reboot, I will get "System UI stopped working".
Or "unfortunately mtp application stopped" . I re-flashed the phone with the stock OEM ROM and I don't
get the issues I sated above.
BTW, how did you get xposed framework installed. Mine said "not yet compatible with Android SDK 21 "
Thanks

I am having the same issue. Any solution?
I had the "cannot do normal boot" issue as well after doing something dumb which stopped me being able to get into recovery. Was about to flash the original firmware but flashed twrp with odin instead after doing some research. Fixed my problem easily, hope this helps.
Same story with mine
Hi There
I'm having the same issue but all they talk about here are 900 and we have G870W
If someone find any information and how to flash the 870 I would be greatfull
to them because all I could find on the internet pertains to the 900 this is infurating
and by the way any of you have that OEM button in developer?
I bet not again all I've been reading on S5 Active also mention about the OEM button
and this is total BS because we don't have a OEM button. If we can find
a site that could help use with our particular phone and not just the 900
Hello, I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my S5 Active SM-G870W using this guide and carefully following the appropriate links for my device:
https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5...ooting-Your-Phone-and-Flashing-A/td-p/2496038
Now I would like to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, but cannot find a recommended version for the G870W. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find one, or know if any of the ones for the 900 would work on the 870? It's a Canadian version of the S5. Thanks for any help anyone is able to provide!
Does anyone know if the instructions for installing Lineage for SM-G870A/F (found here: https://lineageosroms.com/klteactivexx/) would work on my SM-G870W, kltevlactive? How much of a chance would there be it would brick it? Help much appreciated!
Hey there, is there a kind soul out there who can help me out with the whole process of rooting and installing a custom rom?
I've been searching and trying out things for a lot of hours now, and I've reached a dead end. I have no clue what I'm doing.
I have skype/teamspeak/teamviewer

- Wipe in the recovery.
- Flash the rom you want.

I've been trying to flash TWRP for some time now, just keeps failing and then rebooting. I will try a bit more and report back. Thanks for your help.
Any idea how I install a kernel?
Even though I've done this stuff before on my SGS1, I'm totally blank.
Update: Found the .tar file after some digging, let's see if it works
Update1: Nothing happened. I am lost tbh. I've got 20+ things downloaded and NONE are working the intended way.
Update2: I think I've succesfully rooted the phone now (even though it should've been already) It says that I have no binaries installed?
Update3: Sorry for venting, but I'm really annoyed at this point. Nothing is working, even though I'm following every thread I see step by step.
Update4: Tried flashing with odinv3.09 instead of v3.04, and now I can't access my recovery anymore. -.-
Update5: I'm giving up, I'm not touching ANYTHING until I can get some help. If I do more and fail, I think I'm going to throw the phone at the wall out of frustration. /vent

What's your phone model? It is described in the download mode.
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing the recovery in Odin.
Almost all Odin errors can be resolved by a different usb port and/or different usb cable.

It's a GTI9505
I tried doing that, I did get Philz recovery installed, now I accidentally deleted the stock rom on my phone.
I did find a good usb port, and should be working (I've got drivers installed)
Philz recovery wants me to root my phone, but I guess I can't do that when I have no ROM installed.
Update: I have succesfully installed a 4.4 kitkat rom. Now, my intention is to upgrade to lollipop, and I'm afraid to break my phone at this point, so if I can get some help it would be much appreciated.

You won't break it, just keep doing what you are doing.
