Sorry if this is a simple question; What I want to know is, do I have to use some recovery mod and flash from the SD card, or can I simply flash custom ROMs from odin 3.09, the same as I did for my stock rom?
Specifically Imperium ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706844&nocache=1
Many thanks.

You always need a custom recovery to flash roms from either your internal or external sd card
I'd suggest philz recovery just flash the .tar file from here in odin then enter recovery & flash away
Not sure if you have rooted your phone as yet if not follow this link first
Okay, I never used a custom recovery when flashing the stock rom.?
I can't just download and flash the rom in Odin from my pc then?

No bud you can't :crying:
You aren't flashing a stock rom it's a custom rom hence the custom recovery ?
Darn, and I thought it was all so easy!
Okay, I need to start looking how to put a custom recovery on then.
I have rooted it using Odin already yeah

Yeah just flash it in pda then flash rom from philz recovery then it's done just setup required
You won't need odin again unless you want to return to stock (which I doubt).
P.s you should like the imperium rom you've been lookin at

No just flash recovery in odin & then just use recovery (power/volume up) to flash rom. No need for odin again

I want to back to stock recovery for my i9505 (I9505XXUBMG5 ) Malaysia (XME). MY question is where can I download only a single file to flash back to the stock recovery because I don't want to download the whole big rom file, currently I using stock (rooted) with custom CWM recovery. Is all the stock recovery from different country same? Is there any site where I can only download my (XME I9505XXUBMG5 ) stock recovery?
Please advice.
Thanks.

This is the XME MG5 stock recovery, I've transferred the Hotfile link to a premium download link so it will download quicker, flash via Odin 3.04 as PDA
Thanks a lot :good: I still got lots to learn from here
Just flash the file given to earlier.. My recovery is still the custom CWM. Not change back to stock recovery.
Please help and advice.

How did you flash the Recovery?
I load the tar file I downloaded into odin at PDA then click start, after finish.. factory reset. I think I know what happen, the kernel downloaded got no recovery.img inside it. I guess I need that file to relace my CWM recovery.
Hi all,
I rooted my smg900f two days ago and flashed a recovery, everything went fine, I tried a couple of custom rom and at some point I noticed that I didn't have root access anymore (checked with root checker). I launched towelroot again, and now it says that my device is not supported yet. Does anybody encountered the same issue ?

I have clockwork recovery, I had Omega ROM running on my phone (maybe at this moment I already lost root but I only noticed it after), I tried to flash this mod, it didn't work so after a few tries I full wiped my phone and insalled Omega 8.0 again. Then I noticed I lost root access when trying to open some apps.
I also flashed the bootloader for SMG900F featured in the Omega rom thread
That's about it

Then i suggest you flash a stock rom, factory reset and root/flash custom recovery from scratch. Its seems some files are messed up that prevents you to root. Backup important files to the pc/sdcard first. That is what i would do at least

Good luck mate. After the flash and factory reset flash a custom recovery and then the superSU.zip and you`re rooted.

There should be a folder on the sdcard named Clockworkmod with the backup, save it to the sdcard before you factory reset. No a backup can`t be flashed with Odin, only in recovery

Did you flash a stock rom with Odin or flash a custom rom in 3rd recovery? Just do a data factory reset in recovery, pull the battery and wait 20 seconds and flash a stock rom with Odin.

Quick question - - can I just flash the NE9 modem in TWRP just after flashing extreme syndicate room and before reboot? Or do I have to use ODIN?
If I have to use ODIN what are the steps?
Thanks.

The NE9 modem files that I have seen (present and past modem files) cannot be flashed via a custom recovery, they must be installed using ODIN.
Put you phone in download mode (volume down + power)(make sure you have Samsung drivers installed on PC), start ODIN on PC, connect phone to PC, wait for ODIN to recognize phone, select the modem tar file that is located on your PC, use PDA and press start. Wait until you get a GREEN PASS before disconnecting your phone. Reboot.
Thanks for the reply.... But, do I flash the rom first and reboot, then reboot into download mode and go into ODIN and flash NE9 modem? The rom 'extreme syndicate' is NE9.

ROM installation instructions:
Dev Edition Install Instructions:
1: Download ROM.zip to Internal Storage or External SD Card
2: Reboot to Recovery
3: Flash ROM.zip
4: Flash NE9 Modem

No problem. If you're looking for a lean, fast, smooth ROM then you'll love that ROM. I've been running it since it was first release (under a different name) and haven't found a good reason to run anything else.
Yeah the rom is terrific. I was running the earlier version also. BTW do u know what KLTE is? I was looking at the unified s5 section and the AOSP roms and wondering if the VZ Developer version is KLTE? Thanks again

I'm not positive what KLTE means in terms of our Dev S5s. I see the term used a lot in threads talking about unified ROMs, but I don't know exactly what phones it applies to.
I'm going to flash the new ROM over my 4.4.2 S4 LTE. After flashing this new ROM, what are the necessary steps I should do to get my phone rooted?
Which are the compatible flashing/rooting programs to use for this new ROM?

Yes. That's the ROM I'm talking about. I've just flashed Philipz recovery using Odin and everything looking fine. However, I still get the default recovery and not the PhilipZ version.
Is the 5.0.1 not ready for the present recover like Chainfire or Philipz?

I had problems flashing recovery on stock kitkat. Used a workaround with Nandroid manager from play. But you need root for that..
Maybe try a different recovery. I don't see why PhilZ would be the only one to work with the 5.0 rooting method presented somewhere around the forum.
A recovery has nothing to do with the version of the rom you have flashed.
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing the rom with Odin.

Hey guys,
I really realized that I messed up
Long story short, I deleted my os while messing around with rooting and roms,
I can't get into download mode (to download stock rom)
And I'm stuck and don't know what else to do....
Forgot to say I have TWRP installed (luckily)
But when I try to download the stock rom zip it says (Couldn't find MD5 file
Invalid zip format, And when I try to boot it up into anything its stuck at the s4 logo. System, Recovery Ect.
I'm buying a new phone tomorrow but would still like to fix this s4.
And I did a poll to pass time, so if you wanna do it go for it

So you mean just installing it from twrp, because what I did was I downloaded the stock rom from my laptop and transferred it to my sd card, so if I use a different rom you think i'll get a different result?
P.S Thx for replying :good:
Can't install stock rom with twrp.
Get a usb jig to force the phone into download mode and flash a stock rom from sammobile.com or updato.com. You need to unzip the file once to get a tar.md5 for Odin.
