Hi everyone.
Im having a root issue.
Ive rooted my Galaxy S4 with no problems at all. My firmware version is I9505XXUGNG8.
However when i try to go to the Clockworkmod recovery i can't do it.
It simply goes to the normal system recovery. I want to install a custom rom, so this way i cant do it.
Ive tried some workarounds but the problem continues.
Is there anyway known to fix this?
Thanks
Use flashify app on your phone and flash the recovery zip
Remember it will trip the knox counter

Well, the thing is, i already have my knox on 0x01
Will that allow me to enter a custom recovery mode??
Cause my main problem is that i cant acess a custom recovery mode, that way i cant install a custom rom

Erm what!?
First of all you need odin to flash a custom recovery not the stock recovery.
Or flashify app from the playstore.
Or rom manager app from the playstore.
Only then can you start flashing a rom.
Plus check the file youre using for flashing the CWM recovery.

OK, i will try to explain better my problem
I have installed CF-Auto-Root with Odin and everything just worked fine.
After that i installed Clockworkmod recovery app and flashed. All fine
I want to install a custom rom (paranoid android), but for that i have to restart my phone in clockworkmod recovery mode so i can apply the custom rom and the gapps. Thats where i have my problem.
I dont know if it is because of knox being void already, everytime that i restart my phone, instead of going to clockworkmod recovery mode, the phone only goes to the stock recovery mode. (I still dont understand why)
Thats why i cant install this custom rom. Hope ive explain better now and someone can help

Maybe youre flashing a wrong version.

This post has the links for TWRP and Philz (Upgraded CWM). The best recoveries for our phone as of now.
Try flashing them via odin

I know that CF-Auto root has issues with the last official firmware for GT-I9505
I will try to flash another one of these youre saying
Tip: After u flashed the custom recovery, don't let your phone boot in to system. First you need to boot into recovery, after this u can boot in your system.

CF root doesn't have issues. You won't need root to use custom recovery.
Just download TWRP, Philz or CWM and flash it with Odin. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing and go.

Hi everyone, I need help, because today I was trying to install TWRP (2.7.0.4 and also tried 2.7.0.34) in my Exynos Note 3 with Odin 3.09 (I tried 3.07 too) and I do the process correctly and it says RESET! with no errors, but when I try to enter the recovery, it boots the stock recovery :/
Why is this happening?
Thank you very much.
Did you flash CWM before that? Odin and TWRP aren´t friends
Or try TWRP manager. In manager flash img

No because I don't have the phone rooted, the idea is install the recovery and then root it. I will try with CWM
Didn't know you could install custom recovery without being rooted. . and I think you don't. If you want to root anyway than just do it and than install cwm mate.

I solve the problem, I untick the Auto reboot in Odin and then enter recovery without restart and installed a .zip to solve that program and then I rooted it and I'm happy

But I think he can install CWM without root It change KNOX to 0x1. And after that install TWRP
Because in custom recovery he choose root with SuperSU

Just informed myself..lol and you are right. But it is a real pain in the a**. You need to flash bootloader and... never mind he fixed it anyway by rooting
Hello,
I am facing weird problem, I am not able to install custom recovery, I have tried almost everything.. nothing helped.
I am still getting stock recovery..I have tried to flash it via Odin, via some apps, unfortunatelly nothing worked.
My Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 is running KK 4.4.2.
Any idea?
Thank you.
I had this problem too. keep flashing cwm recovery through the app (needs root I think). and reboot into recovery, once you get cwm you can flash a custom rom or another recovery like twpr or philz.
s4 i9505 stock KK
I have that problem too. I have stock KK 4.4.2 XXUGNG8 updatet ota. When i try to flash flashable zip file cwm of philz or twpr i get some error like:
E:footer bad
Mds check
Something like that and cant flash it. I tryed with odin but no luck. Does anyone have same problem?
I had this problem to
I fixed it by checking te root options.
If u use a root app, make sure it gives always root acces.
After this, install a custom recovery rom
After that you'll have no problem installing a custom ROM
Good luck.

But my phone is not rooted, its new, with stock recovery, knox 0x0 still....
Have any idea?
Ok, but what if my phone is not rooted, how am I supposed to root it? When I tried CF-Auto-Root my phone started to reboot randomly during the phone call.
I have found one solution, but I am not sure if it works, it says that if you are flashing custom recovery via odin, you have to take out the battery after the flash is done so you won't allow your phone to restart and rewrite the recovery back to stock. Have anyone heard about it?
No, no idea.
Thats crappy.
Only know how I fixed it

Just uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That will fix your problem.
I have tried it, but it didn't help still looking for solution, is there any way how to RENAME RECOVERY RESTORE FILES so I can finally flash custom recovery? (non-rooted phone)
OK, so the solution that worked was simple and I have already mentioned it, you have to take out you battery on samsung galaxy s4 logo, before it reboots.
My solution
Hi I had the same problem too,
I solved it this way: (My phone was rooted)
Download the .zip file from the recovery you want (I used CWM 6.0.4.7)
Next download 'SGS4 flasher' from the playstore.
SGS4 flasher needs root (I think) andyou can flash your recovery through that app.
Next boot into the recovery and you should probably end up in your custom revovery every time now.
If you don't end up in your custom recovery, download ROM manager and then choose the option boot into recovery.
This worked for me at least :laugh:
Hi Guys i have some Problem to install CM 12.1 on my sgs 5 (SM-G900F).
After much trying i think i have root access to my phone.
no i trying to install cm via the recovery mode from my sd.
But there cames the error = failed to verify whole-file signature
I read that there must a button to change that the signature check turn off, but in my recovery mode there is no point for that.
So i looked how i can update the recovery section but i dont know and i dont find something working for me.
Also my problem with rooting my device dont work with the 4.4.2 rom. I Found a rom called G900FXXU1BOB7_G900FDBT1BOB1_G900FXXU1BOB7_HOME.tar and with that the cf-auto-root-klte works on my phone.
My knox counter is now 0x1 but thats not so bad for me. I have no problem with that.
I Hope you can help me thanks.

Hello matthias,
it is important to know which recovery do you use? TWRP? Philz? CWM?

If you were on stock rom and just rooted with cf autoroot it sounds like you are still on stock recovery. I don't think its possible to flash cm via stock recovery.
I suggest to flash twrp2.870 recovery via odin...
Yes i think i used the stock recovery.

Can you put it in download mode? Have you tried the button combo (power + vol up + home) to go into recovery?

I thought rooting was mandatory in order to flash custom recovery?.... Harry you look like a professional in this, please give me a step-by-step solution, since logically it seems the problem is in the recovery? Maybe I deleted it since I can't boot to it.... I have to root then flash recovery then flash rom, right?

Recovery comes after rooting IIRC (I rooted mine ~1 year ago so it's a bit fuzzy) so if your rooting was successful then a custom recovery flash should be possible (TWRP recommended)

Looks like it's not successful since it's not booting to android.. It just boots the loading screen, types the sentences I put in bold, and restarts again...... What to do? Flash a stock rom via odin?

Stock ROM via Odin would be the safest route IMO, make sure you use the correct stock ROM for your device (there are numerous variations)

You have to flash the uninstaller. But for that you need a custom recovery.

No. You need to put your phone into download mode and use Odin to flash it. You can either flash a custom recovery with Odin and use said recovery to flash the xposed uninstaller zip or you can flash a new ROM altogether.
There's no other way to recover from this since your phone doesn't boot.

sorry man, I tried all yesterday but I didn't have success, can you please link a YouTube video that explains how to do it? or do you know how to do it?
please man, I want that phone back.. thanks..
I suggest starting over by flashing the stock rom with Odin, then use Odin to flash twrp, and then use twrp to flash the zip files.
