I have a Galaxy S4 i9506 model SHV E300S from SK Telecom (Korea). I can't update it via OTA as I'm currently in the Philippines and don't have a SKT Sim which is required. Kies is also not pushing any updates for me. So I searched the web and saw a firmware here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SHV-E300S
My question is how to install this firmware to my phone? I only have Philz recovery installed but my phone is not rooted as I don't know why the guides aren't working for me. I also have another problem, as I can't boot to download mode since I have a Philz recovery installed. Please help me as 4.3 is really and eats up the battery of my phone. Thank you very much!
U have to unzip the file which u got from that site.. u will get .tar.md5 file inside the zip.. download odin and flash that file using odin.. if u dont know how to use odin then google is ur best frnd in this case..

Hi sir, thanks for the reply. I already tried once using odin when I installed Philz recovery CWM. And now that I have to use Odin again, i have to go to download mode again, right? It's actually one of myproblems as I don't know how to go to download mode since i have recovery installed and therefore when I press home + volume up + power button goes to recovery mode... Please help.. Thanks!

just go s4 and it is stock still. I want to go for custom ROM like S4. I looked around the forum but couldn't find a way to flash the custom ROM lik mega..
Can someone point me a thread on this?
Should I just use ODIN to flash the recovery like twr and then boot into recovery to flash the custom ROM?
will then the rom be root as for custom ROM.

First Root using Odin
Then install philz recovery odin
Go to recovery wipe factory data, cache, dalvik
Then install ROM from internal or sd card
Reboot all done :thumbup:

thank you very much.
I am looking around.
could you provide the odin link to download and
the instruction to root?
could I use twrp recovery? I used twrp for my sensation previously.
Any instruction to flash twrp. I guess it should also be done from odin.
Thanks.
btw: The model is 9505 in dk 3.

you are right. I could get to the recovery after odin.
my mistake when holding the button to start recovery.
But I just need to use volume up + power button.
for download mode, I just need volume down + power button.

Your phone has custom recovery installed? E.g CWM or TWRP?
If not, install it by using PC Odin.
Then go to recovery mode by simultaneously holding the combination: Vol Up + Home + power button.
here you can select Flash zip file

Hi, i have a problem when i try to install the custom recovery of philz. (The latest one for s4 6.53.9)
I have a samsung s4 black edition. I did all the steps on the guide, but when i install the custom recovery i only get "reset" on odin and nothing happened on the phone. On download mode it say that i have a custom firmware but the knox warranty flag has not tripped.
If anyone have an answer please help.

Can you please link the guide you have followed?
What black edition version do you have? I9500 or I9505, i understand there are 2 versions depending on region.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
What version Odin are you using?
Remember to reboot into recovery by holding volume up while turning power on after flashing.
Holding volume down gives you download mode.
Did you put the recovery package in the PDA tab?
I use odin 3.07 and used the guide of philz. I tryed with auto reboot and without auto reboot on odin, i put the tar.md5 file on pda without anything else. The only other option ticked was f.reset time.

Bump
Noone knows anything? Please help, I can't do anything with the phone in this state. I can't install the official firmware nor the recovery too.
Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
if problem persists:
Different usb cable
Different usb port
Make sure Kies is not running in the background.
Already done all that stuff,
Any other suggestions?

In odin 3.07 I was putting the tar.md5 in PDA, where should I put it now? Because your file is in .zip.md5 and I can't put it in any slot.

Guys a little help pls.
Using sm900 f version with BNL7 lollipop update. i v been trying to install CWM or TWRP recovery mode whole day but i cant get it up.
Every time i do it and reboot phone into recovery i get stock recovery mode.
Help pls.
thanks
I suppose you are flashing with ODIN, right?
In such case, uncheck the auto reboot option while flashing your preferred recovery, then flash it, and finally force the phone into recovery mode

Yep i havent unchecked the auto reboot.
Thanx a lot. Gonna give it a try when i come home.

Please could you detail describe how you used that .zip file on ODIN, I cant even select it as it is a file .zip to be used under custom recovery flashing not under Odin but me too I cant get our of stock recovery as Odin Fails to flash and soft bricks the phone every time...
Could you send me the odin version used or steps made please.
@soulless angel
Sure gonna do it when i come home.
Meanwhile u can download cwm 6.0.4.7 and use odin 3.09.
Untick autoreboot , flash it, pull out battery then force it in download mode with menu + volume up + power. I managed like that cuz i m more used to cwm.

Did you flashed twrp on Ur device?
for install cfautoroot you must install twrp.tar on your PC (download from here https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar). then you must flash it via odin.
to flash it make sure you installed your device drivers on PC and enabled USB debugging in developer options.
then boot your phone in downloading mode by pressing power+home+volume down button. then connect your phone to the PC. open odin app and choose the recovery.tar you install from the link i gave you. flash it and wait until finish(maybe 2 or 3 min) and then reboot your device to recovery by pressing power+home+volume up button. flash your cfautoroot and enjoy [emoji5] .

I get the same exact thing on a sm-g900t3 (Galaxy S5 - tmobile, north America) Oddly enough I can get https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html installed no problem, but whenever I try to install root, either the supersu.zip via twrp or chainfire's autoroot directly from his site, it just bootloops into recovery.

I actually got it working, by installing a different version of supersu. The one I had was an update-supersu. I then found the full version and it worked. It did reboot itself a couple of times. The cf autoroot did not work for me at all. I opened it up in 7-zip and only saw cache and recovery, nothing related to supersu. I would like to tell anyone that the roms from sammobile did work, but I had to try a couple of them before i found the one which would flash properly.
If you extract the boot.IMG (or recovery.IMG I don't remember but not cach.ext4) and flash it via TWRP it does the trick. That's what worked for me.
