Hello,
I have TWRP 2.5 and I use GooManager to install new version, it downloads it, tells me new version is installed. I reboot manually into recovery and it still shows as 2.5. How do I flash 2.6 properly or what am I doing wrong? I can see GooManager downloads some *.IMG file on file system. I can not locate it though and also am I supposed to install that one manually from recovery itself?
Goo manager sucks balls. You can look around on your internal sd for the zip it downloaded or you can go to the s4 twrp thread and someone posted zips to flash in recovery in the last few threads.
Google is your friend
File which was downloaded is IMG file, TWRP can not flash it. I don't see any threads with flashable recovery. All recovery threads advise to user goo manager including official site of TWRP

TWRP site has the img file to download. They also give instructions on how to flash using console emulator or through adb on a pc. Make sure to type it correctly as if done improperly can result in a brick.
Why do you want 2.6
2.5.0.2 has been flawless on ALL roms for me
Google i337 twrp 2.6.3.2 xda. Flash that in your current recovery
PS, ditch goo manager

No I am on the latest CM11 Snapshot M2 4.4.2. No issues. I will keep this post and not delete so I can post a flashable i337 zip for it.

2.6.3.2? I can't find that version for our phone. I found 2.6.3.1 but no CWM flashable version. Best I found was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447423 which is 2.6.3.0 which would probably allow replacing the recovery image with a newer image.
Hey!
I recently rooted my GS4 i337. Everything is all working as of now. However, I want to flash an AOSP ROM onto it. So, I followed instructions and at first, I flashed TWRP to my phone. It said it was successful, but when I go to recovery it puts me in ODIN. I then uninstalled TWRP and got the latest version that is said to support i337 GS4. Flashed successfully, but when I boot it still goes ODIN.
I tried both manually recovery booting with the buttons, and the UI on the actual app. Boots ODIN both ways.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? How can I boot into TWRP or CWM so I can make a quick ROM backup and flash an AOSP ROM?
Cheers! And if this is the wrong section, can a moderator please move it? I'm new to this forum.
Thanks. :laugh:

Unless your on mdl firmware you can't flash twrp or cwm. I'm guessing you're not.

Don't think so, my baseband is UCUEMK2 on 4.3. So, there's no way to get any custom ROMs on this? What can I do so I can?

I found this a video on how to use Safestrap on 4.3.
It's for the Verizon variant but the SE Linux matches, can I give Safestrap a shot?
EDIT: Scratch that, I've found an ATT compatible version (3.71) and it booted into it perfectly! Now I can backup my stock ROM real quick and flash on my new one! Thanks!!

Tried the G7102's CWM? No difference, as in my old Galaxy Star, the same build of CWM worked on two variants.
Technically, there shouldn't be a difference.
If it failed, you can simply fix using Odin.

You're using 4.3 recovery on 4.4.2.
That's it.

I'm sure that this would work.
Use the older PhilZ Touch 6.48 for 4.3.
You can find it in the recovery section.
Make sure you use the old release, not the new KitKat one.

tried but failed i also updated to kitkat 4.4.2 and tried the kitkat recovery it also failed i think there 's a qualcomm secure bootloader but it should also be on sm-g7102 how this recovery works on that device.CWM should be ported for this device seperately because this device has a different case.

Secure Boot doesn't affect anything.
Make sure you use a 4.4.2 recovery on 4.4.2.
Redownload as to eliminate mix-up between recoveries.
Hello all.
How can I backup I9515L? I have a Galaxy Ace and I was using CWM. Now with I9515L, should I have to use CWM again? I tried CWM but it doesn't recognizes my phone model. Is there a specific version of CWM?
Thanks!

but MF3 - MK2 ............. what is it ?
when i flash rom , what i have to notice ?
I hope you don't have MF3. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure that SafeStrap is your only recovery option.

You don't have MF3, and that's a good thing. You can install a custom recovery. You need to root, install a custom recovery, and then you can start flashing roms.

Ok, use TowelRoot.com to root the phone, and use TWRP manager to install TWRP on your device. After that check out the development section of this very forum and flash any ROM you wish. 4.2.2 or 4.4.4 or 5.0 or anywhere in between (Just read the thread and instructions first!!!). Whatever you do, never update using the OTA updater on the stock ROM! Also, dotn ever flash an image in Odin that isn't MDL, because if you go higher than MDL, you lose the ability to have a custom recovery. You are one of the lucky ones, cherish the ability, and read through threads before flashing, stuff. Good Luck!
Also, you don't have to worry if the ROM says safestrap compatible, because you don't have to use Safestrap, you can have TWRP instead (which is better), because all Safestrap ROMS are TWRP compatible, but not vice-versa.

Most if not all. They're all built from either GPE or CM.
All good advice. Plus when you root and get Twrp recovery installed do a backup thru Twrp (Nandroid) and keep on phone and put a copy on pc. That way you have something to restore if you get in trouble. Also, your bootloader is not unlocked. No Att i337s are. Instead devs use an exploit called Loki-Doki to bypass Sammy's security checks to allow custom roms/kernels etc to flash. You can google Loki Doki and read up on it. If the rom or kernel is not loki'd you will have to flash the zip thru recovery to allow the rom or kernel to flash. You will come across this when flashing International roms and kernels. I don't have link any more so maybe someone else can link it. Keep it on SD card. Like noted read OP carefully and last 20 pages of rom thread. Builds newer than MDL are blocked by Att from using Loki and require SafeStrap. Which you don't need to worry about. Although you can read up on it. Good Luck. [emoji1]

I hope you won't mind me jumping in your thread.,
I've recently had to odin my mdl phone back to stock. I haven't done that in a long time. I have root, and supersu, and busybox. The TWRP Manager app is malfunctioning and I cannot use it to install recovery. They list the crash I am experiencing in the play store as a known problem, and they say it will take time to fix. I have a good loki'd copy of twrp but the stock recovery doesn't want to install it. I even changed the name to "update.zip" and it fails. So my problem is I need a recovery. I am considering installing Clockworkmod's ROM Manager to install their recovery, and then using their recovery to install the good loki'd twrp that I want. Does this sound like a good plan? I have been away from this hobby for a while.

You can flash a recovery zip in a custom recovery. So if you have the loki'd twrp in a zip file, flashing cwm first will work

Thanks man, that's exactly what I was planning. I remember avoiding CWM last year due to some issue on this device so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to do more harm than good. :good:

ROM manager didn't work. It said it installed cwm recovery but it didn't. I was able to install the latest TWRP with this ROM Installer and it worked like a charm! I then installed my custom TWRP from there, rebooted recovery, and installed Danvh's Google edition. I'm setting it up right now. I'm so happy to get my phone back. I just hope the odin flash fixed my problems.
To the OP try ROM installer to get your custom recovery going. Also if you like simple and fast AOSP check out Danvh's google edition rom, but stick to 4.4.4 for now. 5.0 is out but its buggy. Here's a link to the custom version of twrp that I use. https://www.dropbox.com/l/iDQQqlzNbyiFbQrMF4XcRc It's already loki'd so you can flash it if you have any problems with the latest build.
