[Q] Recovery Mode Disappeared - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running Samsung-SGH-I337 Galaxy S4 AT&T with 4.2.2, rooted and encrypted of course, I've been trying to flash a custom recovery such as CWM via ROM Manager and also TWRP via GooManager as well as other attempts to get the custom recovery working. When ROM Manager or GooManager tries to set things up it says it works, but when I reboot into recovery mode it actually goes into Download/Odin mode instead. Even if I use the volume up method of getting into recovery mode (download mode is volume down) it goes to download mode instead. I've even rebooted to recovery mode via adb, still goes to download instead. What?

Try flashing it with Odin.

I haven't found a TWRP method that works for the ATT I337 via ODIN. Not sure how that would make a difference either though.

i dont about twrp why not use Philz Touch CWM ?
i can send your a link, pm me if you're interested

I tried flashing the version from here: goo. im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflteatt but it fails every time. I've tried different verions of the ATT CWM Advanced Edition as well as different versions of Odin. I've read maybe it had something to do with a locked bootloader? Haven't been able to find much good information on that for my phone.

Thanks, I didn't realize I had to look at "All" forums to find my device's forum since the default is just "Top Devices" and didn't see it. If this can be moved please do.
I've been reading and from what I've gathered, since I have MF3 firmware my bootloader is locked down and my only bet is to use Safestrap. I'll be looking into this.
Edit: Also I use encryption which is apparently not a good idea with Safestrap so I'm probably SOL. Awesome.

[Q] Installing TWRP (Error) N9005

I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 running stock Android 4.3 rooted and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to properly install TWRP. I booted into download mode, loaded up Odin3, and flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hlte.img.tar under "PDA" but it failed.
I use to install TWRP easily through goomanager, but it doesn't seem to work on the Note 3.
How do I go with installing TWRP on N9005 running rooted stock 4.3?
TWRP Manager
Try to flash img via TWRP Manager

At the first of all you need Flash CWM via Odin and try to flash TWRP. If not ->
Try to flash Philz Touch in zip and via PT flash TWRP in zip.
Edit: Newest is 2.7.0.0

Try to use Odin 3.0.7/3.0.9 if you used the old one. If not I could also recommend philz touch recovery... looks and works pretty nice

why don't you try the latest TWRP, and choose for the android 4.3 one.
by right it should work. You can use odin any version, but for me personally I preferred to use 3.0.9.

I tried installing TWRP via the manager app and now my phone will only boot into download mode. Any help available?
Fail auth indicates that you are flashing a firmware that has a lower version of the boot loader than the one on the phone.

[Q] Help rooting Note 4 N910F

Hi,
Hope someone can help me. I'm having problems rooting my Note 4 N910F. Initially I tried CF's autoroot but my phone went into a loop with the message "CF Auto Root, Set Warranty bit : recovery" message appearing in the top left. I could not get it out of this, so then tried to install TWRP recovery. This seemed to be successful as the phone rebooted and i was able to use my phone again. See Odin log :

<ID:0/004> RES OK !!
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
However when I tried to get into TWRP it simply boots into the stock android recovery. When i try to do a OTA update now I get the message " The operating system on your device has been modified...."
Thanks
Paul
Ok Think I've worked this out for myself. Think with CF autoroot I needed a special file that was posted by a Tony on here for my version of the N910F. Tried the TWRP again with Odin and did not do an automatic reboot this time. Pulled the battery and booted into recovery and have TWRP. Seems my phone was automatically replacing TWRP with stock recovery.
Hope this helps somebody else out!

First make sure that the firmware is for your phone, secondly uninstall Samsung Kies.
Reboot your PC
Then install Samsung USB drivers:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347849220
Then run Odin as admin and make sure no security software is interfering, temporarily switching it off might be advised.
Odin v3.10.7:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347851815
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button.
I tried,It didn't worked..but I fixed it by downloading erobot rom and putting it into my sd card and then flash it trough twrp,thank you for the answer and the help tho thread closed ^_^
