Why stock recovery.....?
If you rooted your device your warranty is void.
I think the only way of getting stock recovery back is by flashing your tab
with a stock firmware.

Do not forget if you want to return to warranty service to use triangle away app to reset counter after flashing stock firmware

I'm running a custom 4.2.2 GE ROM and want to return to my stock ROM. Currently my device has CWM as the recovery and is rooted. Am I able to just flash my stock ROM through odin? Should I use triangle away first, also do I need to install stock recovery? I have read the unroot guide and I understand how to flash just need to know the answers to these questions before I flash. Thank you in advance.

That TW recovery will be there but i m not vry sure that u can use the same on the Ge version rom thats the reason i told u to get back to stock and then work for TA etc for safety of ur device
Thanks for your quick replies, downloading my stock firmware now. Will post how it all goes.
Run Triangle away, clear the counter, go directly to download mode from there. Flash stock rom with odin (it includes everything including recovery rom modem kernel).
After it is done, go into recovery with the 3 button combo (this time you will see the standard stock recovery, do a factory reset there and you are set). Just remember, doing a factory reset in stock recovery also formats the internal sdcard (the internal phone storage), so be sure to have a backup of any files photos or whatever you have there because you will lose them.
Worked perfectly thank you both for your help.

it isn't possible to get back to stock recovery by just flashing a stock recover zip? Is flashing the complete stock rom the only way?

Just flash using odin...
Hey guys,please help me out.I have a rooted International Galaxy S4 with CWM,I am considering flashing TWRP so can I simply install Goo manager and flash it?I was told the other way of doing it was by downloading the TWRP of my S4 and flashing it either via ODIN or Custom Recovery?You guys agree that both all 3 methods work?
Besides,I have a nandroid back up of my current ROM,so if in case anything goes wrong on my cousin's Galaxy S4,he can flash my Rom via Odin,right?
Please reply guys,bcz this is the only forum where help is served very well!

The nandroid won't flash thru Odin. You'll need to flash it in the custom recovery. And a twrp nandroid is different than a cwm.

You can install twrp over cwm or vis versa without any problems.
Compatibility
Hi,
As stated before, both types of nandroid (CWM & TWRP) are different and not compatible.
I've been using an app "Nandroid Manager" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore which can 'play' with those nandroids, which may help tou if in trouble. I think that the 'conversion' part that should somehow convert one type into the other is still not there, but in any case I think it can help you.
Good luck
Bak

Thank you so much for it but if I install CWM's backed up ROM on TWRP,will it brick my device?
I will try that app and will see how it works and report it back to you.

Sorry if this is a simple question; What I want to know is, do I have to use some recovery mod and flash from the SD card, or can I simply flash custom ROMs from odin 3.09, the same as I did for my stock rom?
Specifically Imperium ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706844&nocache=1
Many thanks.

You always need a custom recovery to flash roms from either your internal or external sd card
I'd suggest philz recovery just flash the .tar file from here in odin then enter recovery & flash away
Not sure if you have rooted your phone as yet if not follow this link first
Okay, I never used a custom recovery when flashing the stock rom.?
I can't just download and flash the rom in Odin from my pc then?

You aren't flashing a stock rom it's a custom rom hence the custom recovery ?

I have rooted it using Odin already yeah

Yeah just flash it in pda then flash rom from philz recovery then it's done just setup required
You won't need odin again unless you want to return to stock (which I doubt).
P.s you should like the imperium rom you've been lookin at

Thanks, its between that one and Purified with Domination theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454205). Not sure which to go for yet, it'll be down to style/reliability/stability/speed.
What I meant was, I can't flash the recovery in odin, then flash the new rom in odin too?

No just flash recovery in odin & then just use recovery (power/volume up) to flash rom. No need for odin again
Hi all,
I rooted my smg900f two days ago and flashed a recovery, everything went fine, I tried a couple of custom rom and at some point I noticed that I didn't have root access anymore (checked with root checker). I launched towelroot again, and now it says that my device is not supported yet. Does anybody encountered the same issue ?

I have clockwork recovery, I had Omega ROM running on my phone (maybe at this moment I already lost root but I only noticed it after), I tried to flash this mod, it didn't work so after a few tries I full wiped my phone and insalled Omega 8.0 again. Then I noticed I lost root access when trying to open some apps.
I also flashed the bootloader for SMG900F featured in the Omega rom thread
That's about it

Then i suggest you flash a stock rom, factory reset and root/flash custom recovery from scratch. Its seems some files are messed up that prevents you to root. Backup important files to the pc/sdcard first. That is what i would do at least

Good luck mate. After the flash and factory reset flash a custom recovery and then the superSU.zip and you`re rooted.

There should be a folder on the sdcard named Clockworkmod with the backup, save it to the sdcard before you factory reset. No a backup can`t be flashed with Odin, only in recovery

Did you flash a stock rom with Odin or flash a custom rom in 3rd recovery? Just do a data factory reset in recovery, pull the battery and wait 20 seconds and flash a stock rom with Odin.
