[Q] Recovery Mode Disappeared

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?

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.

When the I try to flash my phone with odin, I end up getting the same error code. Is there anyway I can reflash it to stock.
My phone is not working at all. I have no clue what I did. I tried to use kies to get me to stock but it gave me an error and now I have a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." It is stuck at download mode. Can someone help with this.

[Help] Soft Bricked Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9507

Hey guys,
I've recently bricked my Samsung Galaxy S4. After countless hours, nights of searching I couldn't find a way to remove out of the softbrick state. So the only thing I'd do is post here. Okay, so here how I soft bricked my S4.
I've rooted my S4 using odin, and then when I rooted I installed a 4.4.4 rom. My original rom was TouchWiz 4.4.2. Now I'm tyring to get back to touchwiz, but each time I do so through I get an error message saying:

I don't know what to do. I've tried using other usb ports, and I used this file (downloaded from sam-mobile) to flash
I9507XXUENB5_I9507OPSENB5_I9507XXUENB5_HOME
Edit:
Forgot to add that I can't access CWM or any other recovery menu or boot into the OS.. Any help is appreciated greatly.

Anyone? /cryyy

THE firmware you are trying is 4.3, you won't be able do dowgrade to 4.3
this is the correct version
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43154/I9507XXUFOA1_I9507OPSFOA1_OPS.zip

Can you get in download mode? Is the device booting? If you can get in download mode you can flash the firmware in the link from post 3. with Odin

at&t stock firmware galaxy s7 G930a b4

Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for my at&t galaxy s7 SM-930A APB4? I found APB5 but ODIN won't flash it as it's saying its the incorrect matching firmware. I have searched far and wide trying to find the firmware for my phone. It's like I somehow managed to snag the most niche phone on the planet with no stock firmware. Thanks!

PB5 should flash fine. Try a different odin

A quick search I ran found that it seems you may be trying to downgrade. What version were you on prior to this? It sounds like you were either on a T-Mobile firmware or on the latest PI2 firmware (Based on that "Fused 3"). If you don't remember but you haven't taken any updates since you got it, could you provide the date you got it? Then I could help. Thanks.

I was on the newest Sept bootloader update. With the help of a couple people I was able to flash the unlocked firmware.

Joe3681 is currently uploaded the Sept AT&T firmware so soon I should be able to flash back to at&T and be all set.
Thanks!!
