Hello, I rooted my galaxy 4 yesterday with odin v.3.07 and flashed CWM. I erased as usual when you flash another rom, but when i try to install a rom it just say something like "Aborted". I can access CMW and download mode, but can't install a rom from CMW, and I don't have any backup. Anybody know what to do? My computer knows that the phone is plugged in as i can see it in the odin program.

Could you give me a link please? I'm afraid of downloading the wrong stock file since my internet is so slow hehe. My phone is model number: i9505. Do i flash it inside CMW or with Odin? I read something about flashing with odin, but on my other phone i've always used CMW

Hi,
You will need to find the right one for your phone HERE
You must know the area your phone came from.
These seem to be zips,so flash with CWM.

Thank you, I found it. But when i tried to install roms with CWM before it just said "Aborted", maybe their is something wrong with CWM. I read something about installing with Odin, but then i'll need a .tar file or something like that

You have to unzip this file and install the content with Odin.
After unzipping this archive you should end up witch md5 file and this is the file to put in to Odin

Hi,
Maybe try installing a different recovery.
I heard sometimes these new recoveries need more than one go to install things.
Thank you, problem solved =)
Hi everyone. I have followed the YouTube video by Chris Nacca (http://youtu.be/Ov6BXOu7SwA)that uses TWRP 2.5 custom recovery (file: openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar) on my unlocked GT-i9505 S4 using Odin 3.07. Unfortunately, despite the message from Odin indicates all worked fine (<ID:0/004> RES OK !!), on rebooting my phone back into Recovery mode, I am greeted with the Android character telling me there is an Error and then "dying" and saying "No Command".
The phone isn't bricked as I can move the highlight bar through the various menu options at the top left-hand side of the screen and reboot back via my stock ROM but clearly the Custom Recovery hasn't been installed correctly and, despite the Message screen in Odin showing <OSM> All threads completed. (success 1 / failed 0).
I have a rooted and unlocked GT-I9505 with a baseband reading as: I9505ZHUZME1. Anyone got any ideas or advice as to what may have gone wrong as if I can't sort this out I can't move to a custom ROM. :crying:
Many thanks in advance, Jim

Thanks for your reply. Being new to Android, am I correct in assuming that I merely download the last .tar file from the page you provided the link to and install it as I did the TWRP custom recovery file using Odin? Am I right in believing this will leave me with my Stock ROM but I can then do a Nandroid Backup and move to a custom ROM from there when I am ready?

use the above link which is PHILZ recovery
Edit : u have to have ur phone into download mode which u can go by
power off device unplug press volume down home power all together till u get download mode and connect to device
the file extension will be .tar use it on PDA at odin and flash it
then u can take a backup of the entire current firmware and keep it to safe place like PC Hard drive and move to ROMS

Thanks. One (hopefully) last question: The link you provided has both *.zip and *.tar.md5 files. I presume you mean I should use the latter, and do I need to remove the last portion (.md5) to make it a *.tar file or use it as is in Odin 3.07?

No need to remove md5
Odin 3.07 is fine use

Zip files are " flashable made" can be used if a one is already having recovery etc like how u flash a rom from recovery

Sorry, back again. I have done as you suggested (twice) and still can't get my phone to install a custom recovery. While Odin once again reports a successful install (as it did when installed the TWRP custom recovery), when I reboot back into custom recovery mode after installing PhilZ Touch custom recovery (as indicated by the blue text on the start-up screen), I no longer get the dying Android figure as I did when installed TWRP custom recovery, but the screen goes to a black, vibrates and then the phone reboots normally (which is a relief). So, needless to say - I am stumped. Can you or anyone else offer any suggestions?

Also download a app from play store "root checker" and see what its saying

Okay, got all that. I am surprised that you can flash stock firmware back on to your phone as I was under the impression you needed a custom recovery installed before you could add a custom ROM. Is that purely a "safety" precaution and I could bite the bullet and install a custom ROM now (should I be silly enough to try)? I do have may SYSTEM, APPS and USER data back up. Obviously I will loose everything on my phone doing this but can I expect that I can restore the APPs and USER data from my existing backup but not attempt to do this will the system files in fear of recreating the current problem?

Yes u can flash stock with Odin no need to install recovery for that..Custom recovery is needed mostly to flash custom Roms more or less u can say
and this method is 100% safe as long as u do properly
make sure u have 60% plus battery on the phone dont disconnect while its running / installing
and dont re install backup u have taken b4 with system files etc myte create plm
rather use titanium / mybackup pro app just to backup messages/ apps etc and save it else where or SD card for later use

Hi, I have done as suggested and flashed the stock ROM and performed a hard Reset. I didn't expect the flashing of the ROM would leave all my apps and screens as they were. Is that normal? I did confirm that the baseband number had changed, which is has. I then moved on to install the root as suggested and all seems to have worked well with the red Android figure appearing. Unfortunately SuperSU is complaining of not having the necessary binary files and Root Checker doesn't seem to be able to determine whether I have rooted phone or not as it just sits there complaining that my system seem slow. Any advice? Thanks.

Yes flashing a stock firmware using Odin keeps all the files and data intact however we should do Reset from the device imm to get rid of all the issue coming from the old used files/ custom files etc could be anything i cant say
have u tried updating SU etc from play store try that
And u have used CF ROOT method rite ??
After flashing the Firmware using odin did u reset the device from phone Back up & Reset option ? deleting all the apps etc u had B4

Hi, yes I tried SU from play store - same issue. I also reset from the Backup and Reset option on the phone which did delete all the apps etc so to the best of my knowledge, I followed all the steps as described by you and on the various pages you gave me links to.
I have just tried SuperUser. It noted the binaries were old but when it attempted to update, said it "failed" to gain root access. Despite getting the confirmatory Red Android after the root process, I now wonder if it didn't go entirely as planned despite trying 2-3 times....?

You can dirty flash the rom you are on without wiping and all should be restored, just reflash the custom recovery and reroot afterwards.

I would only ever use the suggested recovery options, NEVER use a different model in your phone.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Click that link, type in the "Find device" search box and input GT-i9515 and you actually get a lot of stock roms. Because it's from Samsung it is all official. You will need to find Odin 3.09 and a helpful guide to aid in the procedure, all current information will be lost on your device and will bring it back to stock (except perhaps the flash counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away)
As always, do as much research as you can before going ahead with any potentially dangerous changes!
Good luck

I actually did use a CWM recovery option that wasn't specifically for the i9515 but for the 9500 or the 9505. I do not remember which one of both of these I did use though and I do not want to take that risk again.
So this will also reset my ROM and wipe all data? That is not what I am looking for unfortunately. I am looking for solely the stock recovery menu. Everything else should stay as it is. Isn't that possible?

As far as I'm aware the only solution to remove the Custom Recoveries is to flash stock firmware via Odin, I could be wrong but I've never heard of it.

Just flash the stock rom
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
I can't flash the stock rom because I want to keep a modified rom and yet still have the stock recovery.
If you care why: Cerberus anti-theft rom.
So I need a way to keep everything but the recovery. That one has to go back to stock so no thiefs suspect custom roms when doing a hard reset and seeing CWM Recovery.
Bump
Bump,
no one got an idea?
Well then just download the official firmware and extract recovery.img. Then flash it using terminal or heimdall.

I gotta be really stupid or I am overseeing something.
I got the whole 1,6gb firmware.
It has this file in it: "I9515XXU1ANI2_I9515VFG1ANI1_I9515XXU1ANI2_HOME.tar.md5" I tried changing the .md5 to .zip but it only showed me a few files inside it then that did not include a recovery file. Emulating the .md5 file with daemon tools didn't work either.
I don't know how to find the recovery file in it.

Hi
Rename your .md5 firmware in .tar, then open it with winrar, and extract the kernel called "boot.img".
Then flash it with "mobile odin" in your phone.
Hey,
thanks for your help, but there is also a recovery.img. I guess I will flash that one and not the boot.img one if I want to have the stock Recovery, shouldn't I?

Edit: already did it quickly. Worked perfect! Now I have the stock Recovery back and just the Cerberus ROM installed. Perfect. May these thieves come if they dare... They won't realize at all that there is something integrated in this ROM.
I used RashR by the way.

Well i kind of know the rules of XDA.
But here's the catch, i have tried that method mentioned above.
Downloaded the .tar file and flashed via Odin. And now my phone is stuck on Samsung logo forever.
That's why posted here.
Here's some screenshots of odin

Hey
You are only flashing a kernel...not a full 4.4.2 original image.
And that's why you're stock on the boot logo.
Regards.

As mentioned you are flasing only kernel, i use odin 1.85
stock 5.0.1 roms mega mirrors http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...06-lolipop-official-samsung-firmware-t3023794 thanks to @Mar10
and tar files from 4.4.2 open nordic countries thanks to @DeHAWK

take the battery out wait 5-10 secs and enter to download mode to avoid modem issues.
its not recomendable but if you have a backup of a pit file for your phone select it and thick re-partition, this is dangerous but may help with bootloop only if flashing the firmware with no repartition work, repartition with out a pit file may brick your device.

Thank you for the reply
I will give it a try and let you know the results.
One more noob question..
I did a back up of my touchwiz before converting to CM.
And i got the back up file as normal file folder instead a zip file.
I wonder if there is a way to restore it.
I already tried zipping it and restoring from philz recovery...but it says bad file.

you´re welcome.
did you do the backup from philz recovery? i never did a backup from recovery, only with titanium, so i really dont know, but to restore a backup needs to be done from the same source that the backup was created. for the screen shots looks like a CWM recovery backup good luck.

sLIGHTLY RE-eDIT OF PREVIOUS POST :
yes its a cwm backup file created with philz..
And i was able to restore it via the recovery under restore oiption.
but after the first samsung screen (samsung galaxy s4) and a blue T logo, it gets struck on the third screen with only samsung written on it with a solid blue led.
(( what the heck am i doing wrong.
Anyway i flashed the full image with odin..(taken from your link).
And back to touchwiz again.
Thanks a lot.
One more thing is, it changed my baseband version a bit.
Build number : I9506XXUCNJ1
bASEBAND vERSION : I9506XXUCNF3
IS THAT A PROBLEM ?
BEST REGARDS.

Sorry to bother you again.
But i am facing a new kinda problem now with custom recoveries.
After flashing NEE-I9506XXUCNJ1-20141114075501 yesterday it got auto updated to 5.0.1 lollipop .
Now i am stuck with stock recovery.
Tried to flash philz 6.x.x.x as before with odin. The odin process completes itself and reboots the phone.
But when i try to get into recovery still its booting in stock recovery.
Any solution on how can i flash custom recovery on this ?
Additional info
Baseband version : I9506XXUDOA6
bUILD NUMBER : LRX22C. I9506XXUDOA6
Flash your Favorite Custom Recovery with Odin 3.xx and put it to AP. Check that Auto Reboot isn't marked. After successful flashing your Phone won't to reboot. USB Cable out and put your Battery out and wait few seconds. Put your Battery in and reboot it to Recovery. The Stock Recovery can't now overwrite the Custom Recovery.

in lollipop i used TWRP recovery (TWRP_2.8.4.0_ks01lte_20150207.tar.md5)https://www.mediafire.com/folder/p3rwwfm7xn76x/TWRP flashed with odin 1.85 no problems.
but after rooting with cf autoroot http://download.chainfire.eu/502/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ks01lte-ks01ltexx-gti9506.zip( extract and flash with odin in pda) because cf autorrot flash stock recovery after rooting.
Important after rooting flash immediately custom recovery, if you boot in stock recovery after root all apps will force close and you will need to wipe data (stock recovery wipe data will delete internal memory as well), so do not boot in stock recovery.
