Does anybody know a way to get custom recovery on the MF3 build? I've tried too manager and using the terminal emulator with a TWRP image. Neither have worked

1. Its pretty annoying. Questions belong in the questions and answers section, not general.
2. Again, pretty annoying as well with repeating mf3 questions regarding recoveries. Read this thread below:

Do I need to unlock the boot loader on the s4 to be able to install a custom recovery? Can I just install cwm from the the playstore and flash from the app? My s4 is rooted?

Bootloader is locked. Use Loki from the Original Development section to install a custom recovery.
Also use the search funcution on these forums, please. This is a very common question.
Search and read. Everything you've asked has already been answered.

DONT DO ANYTHING right now. READ, READ, READ, READ, READ. Next week when you have READ every post in development and original development about bootloader, loki, recovery, and kernels then and only then you should proceed. After you READ feel free to ask questions on things you don't understand.
It is easy to tell when some one has read and does not understand vs when some one is to lazy to even read.

Thank you for your words of wisdom. It's always great to get such positive feed back. I have rooted and rom'ed a whole bunch of phones and unlocked boot loaders etc. I'm just a little nervous to do it to my brand new phone and I was just looking for a little guidance. Im glad that you took the time to rip me apart for making one post instead of pushing me in the right direction. It take more time to write a negative response than to just link me I guess. I will READ, READ, READ, and READ before I ever post again.

He is right though. Just because you have done it before on other devices does NLRB mean you know what your doing know this device. Each Android device you get will even some differently when it come to boot loaders, root and flashing roms. He is just trying to help save you from getting bricked and then being stuck with no warranty.

up front sorry for all the noob questions....
I bought the nexus 7 from a co-worker, it was already rooted and loaded with CM 10.1.
I hear android images for 4.3 hit today, I don't want to loose root so what do I need to do?
About how long does it take CM to have 4.3 available?
Nobody knows. When source is released then the cm team will evaluate and attempt to merge the code.
Just wait patiently or learn how the entire system works and do it yourself.

You read everything you can. You obviously do not need to be trying to flash anything at this point or you will be back here asking how to recover your device. You need to spend at least a few days reading. As far as root goes, there is no method to root yet... It just came out.

Will that's not quite true, I am on 4.3 and have root back with the new super user...
BUT, Russell, I agree with graydiggy. Read read read... There are stickies and info threads that tell how to root, unlock, flash.... Know how to do this before you go playing with new versions and CM night lies... and tempting as it may be, know enough beyond a "toolkit" to root, unlock etc... WUGFRESH has a nice tool but knowing is more than half the battle in this case... Enjoy CM 10.1 until you know enough, and they have 4.3 base... With some work, they will be about the same time...

Once you read up on how to flash different Roms you can just flash a rooted Google aosp 4.3 rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
Simple question: How can I install the latest google edition 4.3 on my i337?
Thanks
Hey it from the android development section and flow the usual/correct procedures to wipe and install
Well you could read or you could read. Your choice
Edit: or you could brick. Please do some reading. It is painfully obvious when someone hasn't done their "homework". You don't need to be spoonfed the steps, but should rather take it upon yourself to learn the proper way to install ROMs, search, troubleshoot, etc. You have to know what you are doing or things can go very wrong with the click of a button

Im sorry if posting this in the wrong thread. Im a noob to the s4 & was wondering how far the development has gotten. Can we customize splash screen, bootanimations & boot sounds, unlock bootloader, and best way to root & best recovery? I know I didnt wird that question correctly and I apologize. Im just trying to find out what we can and cant do.
Thank you,

Check the indexed posts, they have all the info you need.
Our bootloader is unfortunately not unlocked
Root methods vary depending on what firmware you are on
Now lets follow xda rules and read and research before asking
