[Q] Where to find CWM 6.0.3.2 Touch for Odin?

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.

Thanks. I see the new bootloader image, but not a flashable .zip. Unfortunately I don't have access to a computer to flash via fastboot :-/

You are not looking hard enough. The first two sets of links are for the 4.3 zip one odexed and one deodexed, each has two mirror links. These are both before the bootloader download links which you do not need.
I downloaded and successfully installed through TWRP 2.5.x the deodexed version over rooted stock 4.2.2 without loosing any data or settings.
A couple of notes:
1) Download the SuperSu zip before flashing the 4.3 zip.
2) Make sure you take a full TWRP backup before flashing anything.
3) If you have Superuser installed remove it before flashing as it will no longer work with 4.3 (at least not as of Jul 25th)
4) When flashing 4.3 you can also add the SuperSu (4.3 compatible version) to the flash list. That makes life a little easier if you have existing apps that request root access. Make sure that it is flashed after 4.3
4.3 compatible SuperSu download link:

The download link which is down the page a ways has been verified by the author to work with an N10. Also his comments about Titanium Backups are worth reading.
Good luck.

And you're not reading hard enough. The OP's looking for a zip of the MD03 bootloader, not the ROM. To answer the OP, I don't think anyone has made a zip of the BL.

Zip is available here. I've already used it to update my Nexus 10 and I've already rooted with SuperSU 1.43. Works great.

HM my I looked though here and did not find a zip with just the boot loader.

I was able to solve my problem. Posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44025620
Would still be nice to have a flashable zip of the new bootloader for the community though

Used Nexus Root Toolkit and an .IMG file of the bootloader, but it definitely wasn't as time friendly as the cwm.zip on the N4. Though that can be put down to looking for a .zip file for the N10 all night.

How do I flash TWRP 2.6 when I have 2.5 installed already?

Hello,
I have TWRP 2.5 and I use GooManager to install new version, it downloads it, tells me new version is installed. I reboot manually into recovery and it still shows as 2.5. How do I flash 2.6 properly or what am I doing wrong? I can see GooManager downloads some *.IMG file on file system. I can not locate it though and also am I supposed to install that one manually from recovery itself?

Goo manager sucks balls. You can look around on your internal sd for the zip it downloaded or you can go to the s4 twrp thread and someone posted zips to flash in recovery in the last few threads.
Google is your friend

File which was downloaded is IMG file, TWRP can not flash it. I don't see any threads with flashable recovery. All recovery threads advise to user goo manager including official site of TWRP

TWRP site has the img file to download. They also give instructions on how to flash using console emulator or through adb on a pc. Make sure to type it correctly as if done improperly can result in a brick.

Why do you want 2.6
2.5.0.2 has been flawless on ALL roms for me

Google i337 twrp 2.6.3.2 xda. Flash that in your current recovery
PS, ditch goo manager

2.6.3.2? I can't find that version for our phone. I found 2.6.3.1 but no CWM flashable version. Best I found was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447423 which is 2.6.3.0 which would probably allow replacing the recovery image with a newer image.

How do i flash a custom rom?

Is it any different on the latest official lollipop update?
Do i just flash TWRP through download mode and install the rom in the normal way?
Thanks. Im a noob with the S4. My previous phone was the HTC One X

Flash a recovery then flash a ROM. I recommend reading the tutorials in the General section, but there's nothing special involved in installing a custom ROM.

Whats the knox bootloader?

At first root your phone then Flash TWRP RECOVERY, download a custom rom for your model ,put the rom on external SD CARD and flash it in Twrp .
DO SOME SEARCHING AT FIRST
Flashing TWRP maybe won't work without root (just replied to post with issue) i had this issue also
