Hi I'm just wondering if it's possible to use custom roms on my device anymore after installing Samsung android 4.3. Warranty doesn't worry me anymore and I have done in the past but it just seems to hang now on the Samsung galaxy s4 screen now. I can install a custom recovery I think it's cwm 6.0.4.4 then install a room but that's as far as I get.

Hi all,
Is it possible too flash a custom recovery via goo manager in a stock root injected I-9500 ?
If yes then wouldn't we be able to flash roms without odin via the recovery and the flash counter would remain at zero ?
I am tempted to try this. But seems too simple for others not to have tried this before me.
Let me know if I am totally missing something and if some one has tried this before.

Not possible to install custom software on and from a not rooted S4 atm. Security has tightened since the S and S2.
I am rooted.

Then you allredy have the counter raised, 1 or 10 will not make a difference for warranty. That`s gone allready bro if they check that and unfortunately triangle Away doesn`t work yet for the I9500.
I have used this for root.

Hello XDA, I've been looking for 1 week on how to install a custom rom on my rooted galaxy s4 on mf3 at&t but first i need to install cwm so can any of you all direct me to a video or give me steps on how to install cwm for i can install custom roms? thanks.
If you have been looking for a week, than you should already know that you cannot flash a custom recovery on mf3. It will brick your device.
Currently not possible at the moment

Btw it does not brick your device. It just puts it in a loop which is easily fixed by holding power button and volume down and instead of pressing up press reboot. Wala no longer bricked
That may work. There have been cases of hard bricks. Please be 100% sure of your information before posting.

Hard Brick
I tried to install CWM and the method mentioned did not fix it. Best Buy couldn't fix it either but they sent me to Samsung repair center and they flashed with Odin so mine is back to stock MF3 now.
I've a 4.3 stock rom installed from the box for my s4 let version . I want to install a custom rom. In order to do that I need to install a custom recovery that I'm unable to flash. It does flash but it does not boot into recovery. It only restarts my phone. Knox New security is messy. Any idea guys. Need help urgently?

Im on the Samasung Galaxy S4 for Att, Android 4.4.2, Baseband i337ucufnc1 and I'm wondering if anyone who has this phone has installed Cyanogenmod on their device? I tried using the Cyanogenmod installer and it says device unsupported. Im hesitant to try it, but i really want to!
You can't! You can only install touch wiz based roms using safestrap.

Hi I have I Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, I would like to install a custom recovery but I'm worried I might stuff it up somehow and brick my phone. Can someone help me with the steps and if its easy to install or remove, also after I install a custom recovery I would like to install an s5 based ROM

You have to look for a flashable .tar file so that you can install it with Odin.
Here you go for CWM
