I have a problem that i need help with.
I have an i337 that originally came with the MDL firmware. I rooted with casual and had TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed. Ive flashed many roms, and currently using Beanstalk 4.4 with the KT-AOSP kernel.
I wanted to try PhilZ recovery, so I flashed it from TWRP like the instructions said. I dont know if its because i am so used to doing it with ROMS, but i think I flashed Loki-doki.zip too. When I tried to boot into recovery, i got the dreaded yellow triangle.
I rebooted into download mode and hit volume down to get back to beanstalk, and i tried to flash TWRP from GOOManager. I'm still getting the yellow triangle.
Here is the biggest problem - My little computer has such a small screen that ODIN doesnt show all of the buttons. Is there any way I can get my recovery back?
Thanks in advance.

My phone originally was using omega rom and philz recovery. I accidentally pressed the "remove recovery flash" while in philz recovery when I was trying to reboot the phone. My phone couldn't boot to os nor recovery, but download mode still works. So I tried to flash custom recovery again but it does not work. Tried flashing stock rom and kernel but recovery does not work. However, the phone is now able to boot to os but the screen color gone wrong. The whole screen is purple-ish when in os.
How can I get back recovery and also solve the purple problem?
Maybe try using a different recovery, at least to get back to stable? I've used TWRP and OUDHS via Odin, and both work well.

OK, I've had my S4 a couple months. It's already been rooted, with TWRP installed and also MDOB custom ROM. But tonight I decided to replace TWRP recovery with CWM then I was going to flash CM 10.2. after flashing CWM I now have the yellow triangle and a message saying "system software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone" and the phone won't boot nor recovery is working. With no recovery I can't reflash the current ROM i had installed, I have the MDOB file on my memory card ready to reflash, but the phone won't do nothing. What to do now?
Can you get into download mode by pressing home, power, and volume down at the same time while booting up? If so, you could use this guide I've had success with. http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s4-and-remove-root-completely/

I had a similar issue were I flashed philz recovery and it wasn't the loki'd zip.I to had the triangle of death with unauthorized ATT msg, I tried three times to boot into recovery and the last time I tried it went to (pic posted)and from there I pushed down for restart phone.it booted up like a regular reboot and was OK.
Also after it booted I lost custom recovery, so like I did the first time I achieved recovery I flashed with ROM manager clicking the T-Mobile S4 when prompted. Note : only use ROM manager to flash recovery.now use recovery to flash a auto Loki recovery. Hit thanks if I helped

Hi,
I'm currently running CyanogenMod KitKat version with ClockWorkMod. Since the rom has several bugs and for the past few months they haven't published any updates to my Galaxy s4 I9505, I've decided to switch to WanamLite.
There I found out I need TWRP recovery so I went ahead and downloaded GooManager which installed an outdated version, as I've found out.
I tried wiping my internal storage as recommended but the recovery couldn't mount any of my partitions.
So now CyanogenMod won't boot. I know this issue is fixed in the updated version of TWRP but I'm not sure how to update it without the phone booting (Odin perhaps? It doesn't recognize it currently... Should I move to download mode for it to be detected?)
Anyways, I'm kind of stuck as of now. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Btw I have a question, what's the difference between using Odin 1.85 and 3.09? Why do people still use the old version?
Thanks in advance!!

Edit:
Alright, now I can't get into recovery either. When I try, I can see the Samsung logo and there's "recovery" written in the top left but then it just restarts again into the same logo without "recovery". I'm starting to lose my cool now. Anyone have any ideas?
Try flashing latest stock through download mode and see if it boots.

Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
Thank guys
I got freaked out and just did everything I could to make the phone working again.
I found a thread on XDA explaining how to return your phone to stock version, so I followed it, rooted with auto root, (btw Odin didn't recognize my phone because I used the front usb... how annoying!), then flashed the latest TWRP (2.7.0.1, not 2.6.x.x as GooManager downloaded for me), then booted to recovery and flashed WanamLite.
Everything is working now!
Except one thing - I'm still not able to access recovery mode through physical buttons, only using boot apps. Is this a kernel issue?
Could be some incompatibility since CyanogenMod uses it's own kernel and CWM recovery.
The recovery itself is working fine, but when I try to access it using buttons it shows the Samsung logo with the recovery on the top left, and then reboots again to normal boot.
What do you think?
Thanks!
I have rooted and installed ricks rom using safestrap. Everything worked well until today. Long story short I tried using safestrap to install a new ricks rom. I get stuck on activation screen so I rebooted phone and messed around with safestrap. somehow my phone is now stuck on boot and I can only get into adroid recovery from the boot screen. I am stuck here and cant figure out what to do next? Is there a way to install a custom recovery from this point? any help would be appreciated.
Yes, you can flash another custom or stock recovery to rescue from this problem.. Try this, may this'll help you..
I tried that but it would not work. I finally used odin to flash the stock rom and got my phone back to normal again.
Hi. Writing from my Phone now. Im running cm 11. I installed or flashed philz touch...
Then installed cm11.
I want to do a nandroid backup..
But when i tried restarting to recovery, it skipped that part and went to cm11..
Normal reboot.
Before i flashed cm i had latest stock rom from samsung.
I flashed philz touch that time to..
But when i then installed cm, something went wrong, got some error on cm.
Uid's something. Forgot. I could not boot in recovery, so i used odin, flashed philz touch.
Factory reset and my Phone was fine!
Cm and recovery.
Now it seems i cant get into recovery again...
Anyone know whats the issue?
Locked bootloader? Have not read up on that yet...
Its wierd if recovery just fails or whats the issue.
Pardon the blurry explenation and my bad english/spelling. Im tired.
Thanks in advance.
It was the Quick boot app. Since i set developer options in cm to restart into recovery through CyanogenMod.
But the Buttons did not work last time i tried.
But its kinda solved. Flashed the latest recovery with rashr yesterday...
So i will just use cm to boot into recovery..
Thanks anyways.
