Hello friends.
Have my tab rooted and all is well but just wondering is there any specific cwm recovery I need for this device before flashing? Just have never had a tablet and don't know if things work any differently.
Thanks

To do that you need root, because if you don't change those files the stock recovery will be back every time.

Hello!
I was running cyanogenmod 11 on my gt-i9505 and i decided to install stock gs4 rom (touchwiz).
Everything was ok untill i realised that i cant turn on wi-fi
Now i cant restore my backup because i dont have a custom recovery and i cant get it without wifi :crying:
I have already rooted my phone after instaling touchwiz...
I dont know what to do...
it would be great if someone could tell me how can i flash custom recovery (like clockwork recovery) using computer or gs4 without wi-fi.
Is there way to install cyanogen mod backups using odin?
I have already tried to install cyanogen mod with odin by coverting zip to tar...
Please awnser if you can!
Sorry for bad english

thank you! You saved my life!
Thanks for reading. When I received my phone a week ago, I was burnt twice before when flashing CF Autoroot and then PhilZ via Odin and wouldn't get past the logo, so I flashed TWRP and it was a nightmare just to get into recovery. I gave up and used KIES to go back to stock.
So, in as simple an explanation as possible, please can you tell me how to install a root kernel onto stock 5.0 build BOD3 so I don't lose anything?
Thank you very much?

Thanks for that condescending reply. The dev section is such a mess, there's no organisation whatsoever and if I wanted to flash an entire new ROM, I would, but I don't.
Hence my request.
Which Device?

Galaxy S5 SM-G900F

Have you tried installing the custom recovery using the TWRP MANAGER app? Worked for me!
It on PlayStore

it wasn't a condescending reply, it just seemed that way.
firstly, if you can concentrate the dev sections aren't that bad, secondly no one mentioned rom flashing at all. ever. in fact you never even explained what you needed to flash recovery for.
i was offering you the chance to hunt for the answer like we had to but since you need the help ill give it
this thread for twrp
TWRp is what i use to flash stuff if i want to and it works fine but if you want philz then all you have to do is go here go to klte and download the odin version, then flash via a pc
the problem you had was because the odin chainfire root is slightly ****y an you need the recovery flashable version. so you put philz or twrp in the phone and flash the chainfire root via the recovery,
now i apologies if you thought that i was being condescending but i got all that info from the place i pointed you to earlier, theres no reason you couldnt have done it aswell. i was trying to help by pointing you in a direction, but no ones here to spoon feed. you dont learn anything from it.
Apologies, as it seemed that way, but you have been helpful in your reply.
So I can flash this TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar.html. Does flashing TWRP give me SuperSu or is that something separate I need to install?
I don't expect to be spoon-fed, I like to learn things, but this stuff is so delicate that I want to make sure I'm using the right files.
Thanks in advance.

no twrp is a recovery, a custom recovery which makes it easier to flash non official firmwares. install twrp via odin, then flash the chainfire root via twrp flashing, the chainfire flash root will gove you super su
As it happens, TWRP installed SuperSU automatically.
I've been looking around and only found twrp... Based on bad experiences with this recovery I prefer to use CWM. I am experienced in rooting and never had any issues with CWM. When I had my galaxy s 4 I used twrp and mad 3 backups before installing a custom rom. When I installed a custom rom it put me in a bootloader so I went to fix it by flashing my backup, and none of them worked. Thankfully I had a friend's S4 handy so I quickly rooted that, installed CWM and made a backup and applied it to mine and all was good. I only have one tablet now so I am not taking any chances this time. Thanks in advance.

OK thanks for the speedy reply. I only saw the one for the 10.1 lol. Much appreciated.
The link to download the cmw for the SM-T330NU isn't avalible can anyone help?
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 (KitKat) with towelroot. I used CWM to backup everything as I'm supposed to do. It says I've lost the recovery file? Can someone help me. O have no access to a computer.
I need a .zip file for cwm recovery I have another phone with root access that I can use to transfer the .zip file to the cwm folder to restore the device.
It is US CELLULAR 4g lte, SCH- (I can't remember the rest of that)
I'm gonna cry. Please help me....
What exactly is the problem here? Your phone doesn't boot anymore or what?

Sorry. I don't know when you responded. Slow network. It just won't boot past the CWM recovery/reeboot system now screen. It says my CWM folder is empty. I have an S3 I can use to transfer the .zip CWM file to the SD card of the S4, if I had the .zip file. I have no way to a computer to do anything like that, that way. The I'm Samsung Leiss? (I think) to restore it back to the factory version.
Thanks for answering. Appreciate it a lot.

If you mean that you can use a s3 backup on the s4, then no, don't do that, i believe you can flash the stock firmware using your phone by MobileOdin or Flashfire apps...i guess, but i never tried them so i wouldn't recommend, if you have CWM recovery installed, you can try flashing a stock based ROM from development thread(if you like TW ROMs), you can also flash any custom ROM available for your model in the development thread.
