Hello
I just tried switching my recovery. I had an autoloki recovery and didnt think id have to reflash lokidoki but i clicked reboot recovery and now everytime i try to boot into recovery, it says unauthorized software and at the top it says secure boot kernel. What should i do? I have tired reflashing cwm but it didnt fix it and goomanager says that there is no recovery for me.

edit fixed with dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Good deal .you could've also just used Goo manager for
re installing TWRP or
Rom manager for CWM and then find your Auto loki recovery again

Hey Guys,
I just rooted my i9505 via CF-Auto-Root and it worked like a charm. The next thing I did was to flash Philz Recovery, at first it auto reboot and it never went into recovery, so I followed the steps to re-flash it without the auto reboot and force it into recover. It loaded into Philz Recovery perfectly fine, now when I reboot, it gave me the option to disable auto flash recovery, so I selected yes.
After that I was never able to get into Recovery Mode ever again. All it does is says Recovery Booting in the top left corner and then restarts and loads into the OS. I followed the steps again to re-flash Philz with auto reboot unchecked and it still failed to get into recover. I then tried CWM and TWRP (via Odin), but all of these gave me the same problem and failed to get into recover.
I then tried SGS4 Flasher but still the same question.
Anyone here who has this problem before and know the fix or is able to recommend another method?
Was able to fix it. Had to flash the original stock Recovery back on and then re-flash a custom recovery. Not sure what happen but was able to install TWRP on without an issue, maybe something in Philz Recovery that stuffed it up.
OK! Looks like it is not working correctly. For me to get access to a custom recovery, I have to flash the stock recovery via Odin and then flash a custom recovery to get it working EVERYTIME. It will boot into Philz, CWM and TWRP only once, then you need to flash stock recovery and do the process all over again.
So it looks like the recovery gets over written each time even if you select "yes - disable flash recovery" in Philz Recovery. Anyone know of another way to disable flash recovery?

with a root explorer, go to system/recovery-from-boot.p and rename it to recovery-from-boot.p.bak

Thanks for responding samersh. To lessen the pain of constantly flashing the recovery via Odin on my PC, I bought Mobile Odin Pro. However, it looks like when I flashed using Mobile Odin Pro, it fixed my issue.
I checked \System\ and there was no recovery-from-boot.p there. So it is confirmation that this has been fixed. Thanks again for responding.

Lulz. The reason why this is happening is because stock nexus roms will ALWAYS try to flash back a normal recovery.
You need to try and find a way to flash back a custom recovery (ahem, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
and there should be a notification when you're about to reboot that says something like disable stock recovery?
Not sure if that was TWRP or CWM.
stock rom will replace your custom recovery with stock recovery.
Use Flashify app to flash img on phone

Just rooted my s4 using saferoot, got goomanager to install twrp recovery, installed, didn't do a reboot as it was prompted to (I think it was supposed to reboot anyhow) and said "Recovery has been installed" click the reboot recovery through goo, a couple gapps crash, and reboots into normal recovery, that says error and I'm able to boot my phone up still?
Help?
Did you have goo manager reinstall twrp? If you use goo, there is no reboot required. Try again and report back.

I just rooted and this would be my first time putting twrp on this phone, I rooted past phones but I used Odin so I'm used to flashing things and I was told by a friend who rooted the s4 that with my model (UEMK2) to do the saferoot route and get goo manager to install twrp, so I did that, I have root access I checked with root checker, and when I went to install twrp, it downloaded, said "recovery installed" and I went to check just to make sure by using goo manager's Reboot Recovery option, but instead I got Android normal recovery, it first said "no command" then it says "error" and then I get the normal options for android recovery, I can safely just boot out of it and start my phone though, should I try and flash twrp or?
Yes, try to reflash twrp. I used safe root to reroot after running the MK2 stock tar last week and used goo manager to install twrp with no problems so it does work. Try again.

Yeah I got it to work haha thank you so much!
I flashed twrp form the goo manager app and tried to reboot into recovery but i got a boot loop and the only way i have fixed it is flashing cwm through odin but i dont like cwm as much as i do twrp and yes i have tried to install twrp via odin and still nothing whats going on and how can i fix this??
EDIT: I managed to use recovery tools and install it that way and everything works now!
I9505 CWM will not install, it flashes throgh odin but does not make any changes, it still has the Stock recovery, and when i reboot it says ERROR and boots the system. Please hAlp!!!
