I believe Odin V 3.09 works better. Also it must be flashed in the PDA slot

So you are using 3.07 and you can put it in download mode ? Are you then able to have the device recognized by odin ? You are then trying to flash the same firmware that came on your phone stock ?

Did you do a checksum on the file you downloaded? I tried installing a modem on my i337m, same thing odin failed... downloaded the same file from a different source and success... unfortunately there was no md5 number on the file to do a checksum or I would have done that first.... when it comes to stuff like this I alway do checksum if the md5 is provided... (most times it is)

Download checksum tool from here http://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Checksum-Utility/3000-2092_4-10911445.html its free. Then you find the md5 number on the site you downloaded from and use the tool to compare the numbers, typically you navigate to the directory the file is in (this gives you the md5 number, then you copy paste the md5 number from the site, then click the compare button, if they don't match your download is not good and should download again and repeat the checksum.

Well, if you installed this ROM then you should be able to root by this method and then you can install custom recovery.

that method for me as like asking me to make new window 11
the Q, why if i try to install any SD update it say signature failed?

Having an impossible time flashing CM11 rom, been at it for hours please HELP

This used to be easy.
After 8 hours yesterday I think I managed to root the phone. CWM/TWRP will not install. At all, under any method. Rom manager, goo manager, I now get this stupid message that says that "an application attempted to access something unauthorized and has been blocked" over and over.
Just trying to flash CM11 rom. Guess I need to learn how to sideload or something? I physically can't get my phone to recovery mode other than the stock Android, which does not have the "flash zip from sdcard" option.
For the love of god help me. My phone stopped working around 2 pm yesterday and I seriously can't believe I'm about to be going into day 2 of this, so rather than drive myself crazy i'm going to wait for help

bump please help should be simple

Hi,
Please, don't panic! Panic is your worst enemy . First, give a good read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419762. Then try again . It's very likely Knox is blocking your TWRP/CWM installation, that's why you receive this message.
All the best,

Hi,
You need to flash the recovery via Odin . After flashing the recovery via Odin you'll be able to flash the ROM normally .

Hi,
Please post your installation issue on the Galaxy S4 Help Thread there might be someone better than me to help you there. Also are you sure you're flashing the right files and using the right method? Did you try another USB Cable? Did you try another Odin version? It all can contribute to the fail.

its the official samsung cable. and yes i tried others
tried other versions of odin as well
and different versions of both twrp and cwm
its crazy i tells ya xD

If it fails to flash true Odin, then you are doing something wrong.
- Different pc
- Reinstall drivers
- Different cable
- Different usb port
- Make sure kies is not running in the background
What are you running? Windows 8? Try a windows 7 pc.
Post the details of the error you are getting.
Also when the flash goes succesfull, but you still don't have a custom recovery, then uncheck auto-reboot.

can someone please link me to a guaranteed working version of a flashable recovery for odin ?
I know its a lot to ask but I've actually gone through almost that entire list you listed
tried diff cables
no kies runnning
on windows 7
drivers been installed twice
maybe i should try the other port, but in case that doesnt work can anyone just link me? sorry i've just never had this much problems with this, must be b/c of the new security knox update or w/e in oct of last year. Last June I did all this in about 15 minutes....

I had the same trouble with the knox crap yesterday, the only way I could get it rooted and/or with custom recovery was to use the Cyanogen windows installer, then when CM booted I then rebooted into recovery and installed a different rom from there. :good:

Hi i know youve already said said its officail cable but im saying try another different s4 cable. Because when i was installing recovery or anything it wouldnt let me (i thought i had original white s4 cable) but then i got my dads cable (hes gt s4) and it worked instantly. These fake cables are at large and its very very difficult to tell if its original.
Also like previous guy said using a different computer/laptop also helps i know because ive flashed my phones since day 1.
GL and plz let me know if u managed to fix it another way as its always good to try new options when others fail.

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ then click the start button and follow the instructions.
It will get you to download the installer (or http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/CMInstaller.msi?t=1403660099360) the click it to run, It may download an update for itself, then it will download recovery, operating system, gapps, then start to install everything. About 300mb altogether.
That way you don't need the tar files, just search on this sight for flashable from recovery for the recovery files you want. (I use the touch versions myself).

So do you have an AT&T phone? If you do, you are in the wrong section of the forum.

I can easily open the files on my pc and my phone so idk whats wrong so PLEEEEASE give me a fix for this...
As of the reflashing i downloaded a stock rom according to my area and everything is fine in odin cuz my phone is recognized in download mode and i upload all three files correctly as in

Can someone please tell me what the problem is cause i cant flash a rom or get a new cwm or switch to stock rom....
Is this a problem because im already on stock rom and kernel ?
Is it cuz im doing it wrong ?
Some help would be great because im really frustrated

Well you must use the new version of ODIN or if it still runs into errors,go to CWM on your phone and format system,data and cache and then try to flash the stock ROM via ODIN.

N910F using TWRP (TRLTEXX) shows "Error 7" on all ROM flash attempts

As title says, all attempts to flash a custom ROM result in error 7, I have checked that my version of TWRP is up to date and the ROM is for TRLTEXX. I have also tried removing the 'assert' section in `updater-script`, which caused another error where the `update-binary` file cannot be found. Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and how to fix it?

First, if you just bought this phone, what I would do is double check the phone is really 910f. What's it say behind battery? Also boot into download mode, what info does that tell you. When you plug into Odin what model does it say. Reason I say this, I've seen others buy what they thought were F but they were really 910p.
If all the info checks out, I would download twrp again just to make sure you got good file. Downloads can mess up rarely.
Let me know what this tells you.

Had the phone for about a year and a half now, battery cover, behind battery, about page, and download mode all say N910F, the same as the version of TWRP is supposedly for, I have flashed both 3.0.1.0 and 3.0.2.0 of TWRP using Odin with the same result, error 7 on all attempts of installing a ROM. The ROM I'm trying to install is the Resurrection Remix ROM for 6.0.1 TRLTEXX, but others have the same error.
