My Clockwork recovery fails to flash. Clockwork recovery mod. It successfully flashes in the rom manager, but it fails to load recovery and falls back to stock recovery. Any suggestions?
Are you on mdl firmware? Or mf3
Read all about MF3 would be my suggestion.

he's asking about your build number.

the build number will likely end in either MDL or MF3 if you're an at&t user.

Why is there working recoveries for all other brands, except AT&T? Does anyone have any idea?

Why are you ignoring the suggestions to read about it? I even told you where to find the information. The information you are asking has already been discussed.

If you had mdl firmware there would be a working recovery. Safe strap is what you have available on mf3. Ask at&t why
Search : Safestrap its all over our forum .
Its what all MF3 users are runnig to flash custom roms .
4.2.2 Touchwiz roms only
Locked bootloader is why we don't have a working recovery.

I believe MF3 firmware has rolling out since July. We've been waiting since then. But we're almost there.

I haven't seen much mention about putting clock work recovery on with MF3. I was able to flash it on my Galaxy S4 1337 MF3. Is there a reason I dont see any posts about CWR and MF3 besides there being no stock firmware? Also, will my CWR work like non MF3 users? For some reason I dont see a backup option in CWR...

That really makes me believe I have the MF3 firmware. If not, what am I missing here?
Well with MF3 we aren't able to flash custom recoveries because of the locked bootloader why he seems skeptical but if you say you have MF3 baseband and CWM then that's interesting.

I see. Is what I did was follow the "new root method" for MF3 and I downloaded CWR from play store and flashed. When I boot into recovery it works. Although I haven't flashed anything. I also dont see the backup/restore selection. The
Maybe post up some pics of your baseband and with CWR the skepticism might go away.
Take a pic with a different phone if you have to.we would all like to use a custom recovery with no limitations.

I'm willing to bet you installed the ROM manager APK, which IS NOT CWM. One of the features of ROM manager is the ability to install CWM on some phones. The AT&T S4 with MF3 recovery IS NOT ONE OF THEM! If you actually attempt to install CWM on it, you will brick it (at least soft brick). You are most definitely getting into stock recovery. I suggest you put your phone down and learn about what is happening with it before you can't use it any more. There is a ton of information about this in the forums already. Even a little simple reading without searching will point you in the right direction for this information. If you continue to insist on having put CWM recovery on an MF3 phone (and it is still operational) then I suggest you post a screen shot or picture as requested.

Well I booted into recovery and it must be the default one (not CWM). All the options in there got me confused plus when I flashed it said successful. I should have paid more attention to the recovery mode. I saw clear cache and figured it was CWM.
So I bought a S4 yesterday on Craigslist and its on 4.3. I was looking around and I saw there is a MF3 firmware type crap out there and I was wondering could answer my question on what that is and if I have the firmware because I am trying to root my s4

You need to do a lot of reading. Look for the pinned threads in the general forum. Also, on your phone got to settings, about phone and look at the last three characters of your baseband. That will tell you for firmware version.
Don't try to root it into you do all of this

If your phone is on 4.3 than you won't be able to be on mf3 because mf3 is 4.2.2 check what build you have go to

What are you on? You can still root with vroot but be aware vroot has been stated as malicious. BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING MAKE SURE YOU READ, FAMILARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE PHONE THAN RE-READ SINCE YOUR A NEWB!

This is most likely why the original owner sold it. You won't be able to install custom roms until a exploit is found or Safestrap gets 4.3 support. As for root there is a few methods but they are untrustworthy and not allowed on XDA. Best to what for a safe root method...

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!!
Having trouble finding information. The pinned thread the HotSpot MOD doesn't have anything about MK5.
Either you are in the wrong forum or you're confused about your ROM build. The thread you are referring it is for Sprint phones only, the previous build was MK2 and the current one is NAE.

I unfortunately have no way to answer that. You can certainly try, but have a way to revert should your phone not boot or something. If you have a custom recovery, have a backup ready. Otherwise, have a stock ROM that you can flash via recovery or ODIN if your recovery is stock. But since I don't have your device, I can't tell you which ROMs to use.
