So I'm actually using the i545 phone with ST ATT but up until recently had been unsuccessful using the GSM service with any CM based VZM ROMs.. that was until I flashed the jflteatt ROM and now it works perfectly! I've missed CM since I left my Note 2 and now I have it back. BUT, wanting to use the cmupdater properly I know I would need a recovery to not give an assert error since I have/had CWM Touch 6.0.3.6 VZW installed. I found a Loki ATT CWM Touch 6.0.3.6, copied the recovery.lok into the existing CWM ZIP flash that I used to flash the VZW Touch recovery and exactly what I feared, I get the yellow triangle. I can enter bootloader and cancel to boot CM and have tried using Rom Manager to flash the i545 CWM but I still get the triangle after booting to recovery. I really hope I dont have to do a full stock odin to start over.. what a PITA. Any suggestions? Thanks
Update: I manually loki_flashed the vzw recovery back.. I will try this procedure on the att recovery.lok again
Update2: success, have the i337 CWM Touch 6.0.3.6 installed.. so cmupdater should work now with future CM updates.. today is a good day!

You have to flash a custom recovery in order to flash customs roms (or mods) like Philz Touch or TWRP. Look in Android Original thread for either one of these. I use Philz Touch myself and very happy with it, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367.
install custom rom

hi there I installed clockwork mod and have root
I can back up my fone with cwm but the problem is installing cy 10.1
Maybe the file is corrupt.
Try downloading the file again, and copy to internal SD.
Hey all, not sure what's going on but I've flashed both the CWM and the latest TWRP tar files through Odin and upon trying to get into recovery, Vol-Up+Pwr+Home I get the blue recovery booting line which hangs on it's own for about 5 seconds then goes to No Command, a little android with a red exclamation stating error and then it goes to the stock recovery.
This is the CDN SM-N900W8 with the latest MJ4, I have not yet rooted although that was the plan once I get into recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Goo.Manager and Rom Manager aren't locating recovery's for me to install via the app method.

you have to root 1st
The plan was root via the SU zip from recovery but I guess I just do CF-Auto-Root then from Odin...? I thought I would at least be able to get into recovery rooted or not.

yeah i CF-Auto-Root with odin then flashed cwm with odin
Okay doing it in that order worked nicely. I found a tutorial that described the opposite which was bad I guess.
Hello,
I have a samsung galaxy s4 at&t on MF3. I rooted using the xda guide for MF3, and installed Safestrap 3.71 and TWRP 2.6.3.1.
Then I installed on ROM slot 1 several of the ROMs from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254 including
Google Play Edition 4.2.2, Deadly Venom, SHOStock, Darth Stalker x1 but none seem to be working.
After installation is complete, I reboot on ROM slot 1, I see the Safestrap splash screen, then the screen turns black, the phone vibrates, and reboots again.Then it depends. I will see one of the following:
1. After the samsung logo with RECOVERY BOOTING in tiny blue letters on top, I see a recovery screen with a dead android that says "android system recovery <3e>" which gives me a few options (like reboot system, apply update from ADB etc). I have only chosen reboot, which is a regular reboot leading to the regular safestrap splash screen.
2. Samsung logo and regular boot, which leads to the safestrap splash screen.
What am I doing wrong? Are the ROMs I have tried not compatible with my phone?
I would appreciate any help.
thank you very much for the hard work!

Why flash TWRP? You already have safestrap, no need to flash a custom recovery that doesnt work on MF3.
Also have you flashed the MF3 module after flashing a rom?

Safestrap 3.71 is for mk2 builds. You are mf3 so you need 3.65. Safestrap is a modified TWRP flashing TWRP over it is needless & not going to help your phone. PLEASE READ! All this information is here on XDA for you. Plus horror stories of the uninformed who did as you & flashed 1st & asked questions later. Hopefully you made a backup before all this, if not, then there is a guide posted on here how to Odin back to stock mf3. Good luck.

Thank you much for the prompt reply.
My phone boots fine the Stock ROM and works fine on the Stock ROM. Can I just install the right Safestrap version (3.65) after I boot the Stock ROM, and take things from there? or do I need to Odin to stock necessarily?
Thank you very much

Thanks for prompt response. To clarify, I only installed Safestrap 3.71. I did not flash TWRP myself. I only mentioned the TWRP version that was inlcuded with Safestrap in case this was important for your answer.
I have tried flashing MF3 module after each rom with no luck.
Based on the response of another fellow, I think what I did wrong was installing the wrong safestrap version.

Whew, so glad your phone is fine. Yes, install Safestrap 3.65 then you can flash the mf3 custom rom of your choice in Safestrap recovery. Remember, Safestrap will always show as disabled on stock rom & active on a custom rom slot. Be sure to read & follow the rom developers install instructions. Safestrap has worked flawlessly for me. Don't forget to thank Hascode for his brilliant work.
I am on MK2 4.3 and I have Safestrap installed and I installed the recovery and when I reboot into recovery It goes to the Custom screen then it fails to Go to the Splash screen where I can choose to go into TWRP . I had this working on MF3 but I had bricked my phone and and had to flash the allin one to fix it . I am successfully rooted with safestrap installed .. ANY IDEAS would be greatly appreciated...Thanks By the way it Says Safe system : Not Active. I thought I remember it saying Active before
Also is there another way to install a Recovery. Im coming from a Tmobile GS2 where you could flash recovery once within Odin and after that you could just flash different versions of Twrp or Cwm when needed. No locked boot loader . I always thought HTC was the only phones with locked boot loaders . I have been doing a lot of reading prior to posting this question and have been up all night . After bricking last night and recovering from it I got a crash course with this device.

Check your root condition is valid. If you do not have root you can not install the safestrap recovery.
To go to the safestrap you do not need to reboot into the recovery. You simply reboot as normal and safestrap splash screen would come up.
You can use odin to flash the recovery in the download mode or you can use adb command to push the recovery.
AT&T and verizon G4 bootloaders are locked. You can not unlock like HTC S-off. You can only exploit the bootloader with different methods based on your firmware version.
Simply reboot the phone and on boot up it will show you the splash screen. Not active means that stock slot is still selected.

Download Free version of Rom Manager and after install see if it will not install which ever you want through it CWM or TWRP. Way I do it. You are Rooted???? Here is link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en After install open and click on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" then it gives you choice of CWM or TRWP
I already tried rom manager after rooting the phone, and get the success message as well. But when i restart phone in recovery mode , I am still getting stock recovery options instead of CWM or TRWP.

You can't install custom recoveries. Our bootloader is locked. Your only option is using safestrap
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
U can't install a traditional recover. Since U are on NB1, your baseband is locked and your only option is Safestrap (TWRP). Read the instructions carefully at least once all the way thru and then proceed. Pay close attention because it's not like most phones. It works just fine. U can have a heavily modified Touch Wiz Rom or even now a AOSP based Google Play Edition Rom.
Proceed here:
[INDEX] All things AT&T MK2, NB1, and NC1 (including ROMs
