Hi all,
I'll be getting the S4 very soon (don't have it quite yet), but want to be ready.
Can someone point me to CWM 6.0.3.2 in an ODIN flashable file? I see the IMG here, but don't think IMGs are ODIN flashable, correct?

I'm not sure about Odin, but I always install CWM through RomManager in the play store. It's much more hassle free, and all you need is a rooted phone.

But these are ZIPs. Can I flash this with Odin for Windows?
Why don't you just use the zip ?

Well, I can't use the ZIP because I am not yet rooted. I'm sure the answers are around here somewhere... but the easiest way I find to root (and unroot) is to flash a rooted kernel or ROM from Odin...
Got it. CF Root and ROM Manager... Now, to pick out a ROM.... I don't suppose Cyanogenmod is ready for daily use is it?
Easiest thing to.not get confused. Is to root your phone. Download goo manager from the play store and install twrp then flash the cwm touch zip.

i have too many times try download the file but when i check the md5 i see that is different
i'm portuguese and a noob, but i love try new custom roms, but since 4.4 updated, i'm stuck, pls help
thanks in advance
It is possible that the newest MD5 has not been updated yet.
EDIT: Checksum I got from X-Note_Aroma_Build_9.0_NA7_KitKat_Public Matches fine.

Well it's supposed to match, but I never ever check my downloads..
Yes you need to update to Stock first before flashing (NA6 is OK no need for NA7)

Try flashing it even if the MD5 doesn't match, just have another ROM ready in case it doesn't work. Might just be an anomly that is causing the checksum issues.

But thats because I need root and want to make sure my phone has rooted properly.....
Oh, and make sure the KK you flash ISN'T a branded rom - supplied by a foreign carrier as this can cause problems and may fail near end of ODIN flash...
No need to root when flashing a recovery :good:

Just make sure you have the latest cf-autoroot and that the CWM you install is greater than version 4.0.4.6... These are KK friendly, anything else will cause issues...

How can I see if the KK I flash isn't a branded rom or not?
I'm using the cwm 6.0.4.7 (it said friendly KK )I think so, I no longer near my pc but I will confirm that later.
Use XEO (Poland) KK which is unbranded
HERE'S a fast link for it.

Which recovery are you referring to, the stock one or custom? Stock is hard to messed with except in extreme cases.

Flashing stock firmware will also replace any custom recovery you had with the stock one.
I've been using only CWM 6.0.4.7 by Chenglu. If you want to use this one, choose the correct version for your phone and flash using odin.

I'm rooted and unlocked running custom ROM TW 4.4.4 with Koontz kernel using TWRP and for the life of me I can't get CM11 installed.
I'm using the KLTEVZW version and the recommended GAPPS. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

i would be sure to follow the instructions.. is there a aosp kernel you should use or do you use the stock tw kernel?
I'm using Koontz TW Kernel currently. But the CM zip file should contain the new CM Kernel. ?
I am getting this message when it fails, 'this package is for device KLTEVZW, this device is KLTE'. So I guess I'm flashing the wrong zip. But my phone is an Verizon S5 developer model.....confused?

which cm11 rom are you flashing? from verizon s5 original development section?
Yes, from Ablinoman887 and official cm 11, KLTEVZW. I did flash the KLTE version and it didn't fail but it bootlooped. However I did flash fusion 4.4.4 for KLTEVZW and its working great.
Try using the Version of TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794674
Bkuschel u rock. It work. Thanks man
A1Barrett- How did you flash this? ODIN v3.09 doesnt seem to like it, it just errors out after awhile.
Neodawg- I flashed using the TWRP that bkuschel recommended 2 posts up.

Right, but how did you flash it? With ODIN? or use TWRP to flash it? The link only provides a .img file and if I tar it ODIN wont flash it, not sure if I am doing something wrong with tarring it or if the img isnt setup to be flashed by ODIN.
Thanks, for your help
Flash the new twrp using the old twrp. Use the zip. Twrp-kt.all-in-one.zip

Hmm, suppose so, never really thought about it, I came from a Motorola phone last time and not a Dev device either, so this whole ODIN, unlocked thing is new to me. Either way *facepalm*....hahaha

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

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.
