I rooted and installed wicked v4 on my att galaxy s4 and it can up with the att lock saying that att doesnt support the rom or some thing similar to that. So i booted into recovery and installed a att kernal for the rom. I rebooted it and it booted into the system perfect running the new rom. I heard that wicked v5.1 was released and i downloaded it and went into recovery to install. It came up the att lock not letting me get into recovery mode. I can boot into download mode and click cancel and it restarts and boots into system fine but cannot get into recovery. Help plz

What firmware are you on? Please if you know how to flash ROMs you should know where to find it.

If you can boot into OS, download Goo Manager from Market and install TWRP 2.5.0.2 recovery
If you get it working--do a lot of reading--many variants and our bootloader is locked. Get to know loki-doki too, if you don't--

I installed twrp and it still gives me the att lock when I go into recovery. Should I try to install Loki with Odin?

loki doesn't install thru odin--it installs thru recovery as a zip
if you still can't get into revovery you may need to odin back to stock--i never used odin, haven't needed too and on an iMac
there are some threads on using it and someone may help with that
loki bypasses samsung's signature verification on recovery and kernels and lets you flash a kernel that hasn't already been loki'd by dev--

Are you getting a lock on the Samsung screen? Or are you getting the warning saying that software is detected that is not authorized by AT&T.
If you are getting the first. Let it boot.
If you are getting the second, loki-doki patch. Google it.

Or u can in fact use ROM manager just to flash a recovery "CWM".after flashing cwm get rid of ROM manager and use cwm to flash any of the recoveries. I use philz touch recovery .Google is badass though

ODIN emergency restore fixes it.

here ya go
Step one. Install rom using goomanagers' twrp
step two. flash rom
step 3. flash the attached loki-doki.zip
it will make the phone think that the boot image is signed with at&t. it writes into the firmware, so you don't have to do it every boot. but you do have to do it everytime you flash a rom

This is the correct procedure...

Backing up Original frameware.

So I been reading that you need to be rooted to be able to backup the original frameware .\From what I've read the .tar file you flash in Odin is a modified kernel .so after you root you would have a Root+recovery image of the original frameware .
What I'm trying to achieve is to get a full backup of my original frameware,kernel and efs.Before I go balls out off this phone .
I have a i9500 (Baseband i9500ubuamde) Android 4.2.2 . the carrier is Claro ,Dominican republic .

Apparantly you don't even need root to do backup (nandroid).
1. Flash custom recovery (philz) via Odin with phone in download mode.
2.Reboot into recovery.
3.Backup.
Make sure you get recovery for your i9500 and not the i9505.

To my under standing CWM works directly with the kernel so to even achieve that you would need root access .. Now I'm confused . Well ,I found the original frameware and kernel so I'm downloading that now . Seems i need to root the device in order to achieve every of the things I want.

Edit- yes sorry you are using sgs4.
Clockworkmod (ROM manager) only needs root access if you are using the app from the market, if your only using custom recovery you don't even need the app!
BTW recovery doesn't touch kernel and I don't even believe rooting (with cf-autoroot) touches the kernel either so I'm not sure what your reading that's giving you all this information that isn't quite right.

You dont need to do that. Every rom should be available for download. So that includes the one currently installed on your phone.
What you want to achieve is to my knowledge not possible and completely unnecessary. If you want to return your phone to it's original state, you just flash the rom you are currently on true Odin.
ps root and custom recovery are seperate packages. So if you apply one, you won't have the other. You need to apply both.

Unauthorized software when booting to recovery

Specs:
SGH-i337
MDL Bootloaders
Running custom GPE KitKat ROM.
Latest TWRP Recovery
Here's what happened.
Decided to try out Beanstalk kitkat. Installed fine, but ran into signal issues when I loaded up the FMLD modem. Had the same issues when switching back to MK2 modem.
before using beanstalk, decided to try out Philz touch CWM. Didn't really like it, I made a backup of my GPE ROM and went ahead and installed beanstalk then installed TWRP. Hit some issues with the ROM and decided to go back to GPE. Had to switch back to CWM to restore the GPE ROM.
Once it restored, I reinstalled TWRP. Went to boot to recovery and get the unauthorized software warning.
I can still boot into the ROM, and can boot to DL mode. I cannot boot or install TWRP. Seeing that I contact flash any Zip files I cannot even install CWM. Is there any way to fix this short of flashing back to stock MDL with Odin? I am stuck. Read for about 2 hours... Can't find any answers specific to this issue.

Try push custom recovery.img using heimdall or repack custom recovery.img to tar files .....so u able to flash it from Odin. .... Goodluck

Just a thought. Are you sure the custom recovery you are trying to install is LOKI'd?. You can try to install OUDHS CWM via terminal commands.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with your issue or not, but I read that people were having issues with certain versions of PhilZ CWM and the LOKI feature. They claim part of the issue involves corrupt backups that will not re-flash properly.

Never tried it, but could you dd the recovery image, possibly twrp.
dd if=/system/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Do this at your own risk as I'm not that familiar with dd commands

Never had issues installing it before.
AFAIK, the recovery does not need to be loki'd the ROM does. The reason I say this is because I have never had any issues with older or newer versions of TWRP and because there are recoveries that Auto Loki a ROM that is being installed.
If it does need to be, then it should be loki'd because I am doing exactly the same thing to install it. The version is the same as before I changed to CWM.

Also... It seems that as a result of this whole debacle, nothing involving xposed is working when it did before. Is this possibly related?

[Q] gt-n7100 update to latest omni rom problem

Hi,
when i arrived to the step when i need to install the rom (zip file) , in recovery got error which says:
this package is for "t03g,n7100,gt-n7100" devices this is t0lte.
i know for sure that my device is n7100.
can you help me please?
10x.

phliz recovery
could it be because i installed phliz recovery that is for lte mode and i have n7100?
the page that i downloaded from said it works for n7100,n7102,n7105, but in the file name was lte. "t0lte/philz_touch_6.07.9-t0lte.tar.md5", where it says LTE version.

Flashing a recovery explicitly for the n7100 should solve your problem. Assuming that you want use PhilZ, try this one: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100/philz_touch_6.15.4-n7100.zip

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I've tried to flash via zip the appropriate version before you replied (philz_touch_6.07.9 n7100 zip)
And again got a message that the package is for n7100 and mydevice
is t0lte.
Will your link be different?
i took it to the store for checking, and they said that they tried to install stock rom but its not booting... strange.
is this can happen because i installed a wrong recovery and did format /system ?

If you formatted /system, Android won't boot until you flash a new ROM.

I know, but I can't install a new Rom that's the problem,
It says, when I tried install n7100 4.4.2 omni Rom, that this is
A package for n7100 and my device is t0lte, I think
It says that because of the wrong recovery. Again i try to
Install new recovery via zip from the recovery itself and it says
The same error.
I gave my device to the store to check and they tried install
The stock Rom with no success via Odin..
Any help appriciated
Thanks.

Then you have to "force flash" the recovery via PC using Odin, heimdall or flashboot.

Hi,
Can you tell me exactly how to "force flash" via odin?
Step by step?
Btw, if I have omni Rom, zip file, can I use Odin?
Thanks.

In recovery, as you already know, I did format/system.
What the /system do exactly?
Is it because that I flashed recovery for the t0lte version
I get the error? Or because that from the wrong recovery
I did format/system?
I just want to know why I get this error when flashing rom: "this package is for t03g,n7100,gt -n7100 devices this device is t0lte " when
my device is n7100.
Thanks.

Use Odin/Heimdall to flash an appropriate recovery for your device.
You somehow managed to install a t0lte recovery. You need an N7100 recovery

r u still on stock recovery ?
custom ROM can only be flashed with custom recovery.
try to flash custom recovery (ChengLu CWM / Philz CWM / TWRP). I prefer Chenglu CWM.

search, man.
the thread are so big at the Android Development Note 3 for Philz touch CWM, and Chenglu CWM.
and also so big at the Original Android Development Note3 for TWRP.

I hope you are aware that flashing a custom recovery will trip kbox, if your knox is still intact
