Hi guys,
A few weeks back I was trying to update the modem for my Galaxy S4 i9505, and downloaded odin via the Play Store which reset my recovery mode as well. I had clockwork installed previously but now go into odin mode whenever I try to boot to recovery. I've also tried reflashing clockwork using Odin which supposedly succeeds, but then I'm still stuck booting into odin mode for recovery when I press volume down + power. How can I get back to clockwork? I'm not able to flash roms using odin and I'm having problems with my current installation. Any help would be amazing!
Thanks!

I want to flash zip files, Odin will only flash .tar files.

The combination for go custom recovery is Volume up + Power button

I have a galaxy s4 i337m rooted and already installed twrp recovery via goomanager. When I enter into recovery mode and try to reboot into system, it shows Samsung logo but then it enters again into recovey. The only way to get back its flashing again the stock firmware via odin. Any help??!!

Did you get the correct recovery for that device from the website? Seems to me you flashed one of the other recoveries.
odin would be the only solution.

Hello guys
I tried to flash a wifi fix modem in Odin and now I cannot boot my phone and cannot flash a stock ROM.
I was on Omega7 (which has wifi problems)
Bought Phone Odin, chose to flash firmware (found the modem files I had downloaded)
Phone reboot to download mode, so I thought it had not worked, and tried to flash it in Odin PC version... but it got stuck at boot.img
So I unplugged, restarted Odin/Phone and tried again and again, but no luck.
So I tried flashing a Stock rom (I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5) but that gets stuck at boot.img too.
What can I do?
When I try to boot the phone, it says something about going to Kies and doing recovery there... but that assumes I have got some backup file to recover from, besides, Kies does not find my phone, it recognises it is plugged in, but continues searching for it.
Any bright ideas?

Hello everybody,
I got a question from someone who wants to go back to the stock Samsung ROM.
But how do i do this as TWRP replaced the stock recovery a.k.a. Odin Download Mode?
Can you simply flash the tar through Odin while being in TWRP?
Thanks!

Just load up ODIN, install through there the stock rom, it will replace twrp with stock recovery as well.
Recovery and download mode are 2 complete different things. Just boot in download mode and flash stock rom.

I actually know that they are two different modes.
The reason i'm asking this question is because most online articles refer to "Home + Vol Down" to access TWRP recovery, and this happened to be "Download Mode" before TWRP was flashed onto the device.
Unfortunately i don't have this person's device, so i can't check if this is the case (i forgot how i entered TWRP, haven't used it much)
i installed safe strap and got gold finger rom working now im locked out when i try to boot in recovery it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again i have download mode no recovery what can i do to fix stock recovery for samsung galaxy s4 can it be fixed i tried flashing with odin the stock recovery that fixed it last time it fails when it get to the last boot check
There is no real use for the stock recovery. What are you really trying to achieve?

You needed the pit file because of the re-partition option ticked in Odin.
Ok so I updated to the 5.0.1 update on my S4 yesterday and kept my root using that method with the chainfire app. Today I wanted to try flashing CWM on my S4. Upon trying on Odin 3.09, it said failed and now my S4 boots into Odin Mode and says "Firmware upgrade encountrered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Ttry again."
WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO?

From the sounds of it you need to stick with safestrap only mdl and under can use a custom recovery on ATT
Glad you got it fixed.

Thanks for the info. I was able to do every step and am back on 5.0.1 and rooted. My issue now is that I can't boot into recovery mode. Can you help me?

Safestrap doesn't allow recovery boot for lollipop. This is because safestrap hasn't been updated for lollipop yet. Everyone's moving to lollipop someone will update it or come up with a alternative soon I'm sure.

If you want to fix the stock recovery. find the OC3 Stock Partitions file and ODIN it to your phone. If you find the one that's a zip file, you'll have to ODIN a kitkat kernel to flash that in Safestrap.

I don't understand. I've never used safestrap. I was able to flash back using odin to the nc4. Than flashed to NJ1, rooted that, then upgraded to 5.0.1 while keeping root using that flashfire method.
Now if I use flashfire, do a cache wipe that way I can access flashfire's reboot options, select boot to recovery, it will boot to recovery fine. I just can't get it to boot recovery using the volume up, power, and home buttons. It says recovery boot in blue at the top but then restarts and boots normally
