No, you can't install clockwork or twrp. The only only recovery you can install is SafeStrap.

You must be rooted, and must have unknown sources enabled.

How am I supposed to flash a zip when I have no custom recovery?...motochopper says failure all the time tried it twice.. is the mdn method for sprint s4? It says gt-19505

You don't have to be rooted to install a recovery. Just use Odin to install a recovery, then use that to flash the zip.

Stock Recovery Flashable?

Hello,
Apologies if I didnt find it after searching but:
I was looking to get stock recovery back onto the S4. I know I can Odin back to stock but being that my phone is already set up it would be nice to just flash stock back and be happy
Thanks!

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

I used to be on stock recovery rooted and was able to update ota while keeping root with ota rootkeeper... And stock recovery

Every rot method I've seen requires installing a custom recovery. Either twrp or cwm.

So, you want a recovery that has no abilities? No backups. .. no restores. ... reinstall motochopper then.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.

MF3 Question

I have a quick question. I am on MDL rooted with a custom recovery. If I flash a custom ROM that's based off of MF3, will it upgrade my bootloader & make me lose my recovery?

Knox and Cyanogenmod

I'm still running a rooted version of MF9 4.2.2 on my S4 and have never upgraded to 4.3 so I'm still without the knox enabled bootloader. If I were to put ClockwordMod recovery and flash the newest, stable cm10.2 would it place the knox enabled bootloader on my phone?
No it wouldn't.

Thanks for the quick response. Now I know what I'm going to be doing for the remainder of my night.
A followup question if you don't mind. Would using Philz Advanced CWM over the official CWM make a difference in flashing the zip?

Philz has been more stable of all the recoveries available to us.

[Q] Is there a simple instructional on how to install Safestrap ROMs for MF3?

I tried to read multiple other threads, all are confusing with many links, flashy text and technical information. I have safestrap 3.65 installed on MF3. What is my next step?
Why would you make a new thread when there's so many out there? You can ask your questions in the specific threads instead of creating a new one.

If it's rooted and you have Safestrap installed than reboot to recovery through the app and make a backup .
Download a compatible 4.3 ROM and follow the instructions for installing the ROM of choice. Ultimately you need to read over and over to make sure you understand what to do.

I think you meant compatible 4.2.2 ROM since he's on MF3.
