Hi,
Long story short. I had TWRP 2.5.0.2 with my SGH-I377 (Galaxy S4 AT&T). I used it to flash this GE ROM by Maddog (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340783)
After flashing, the ROM works just fine without issue. The Model Number in the about phone section however showed to be GT-I9505G, but I didn't mind too much since it works flawlessly in everyway. When I tried to update TWRP to 2.6.3.0, GooManager downloaded the wrong img due to this (it was my fault for not looking at the version before clicking yes). But now after reboot, i can't get into TWRP recovery anymore, it keeps saying "System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone". I was able to bypass by going to download mode and cancel to boot back into my old GE ROM. But now I can't seem to find away to get the correct TWRP version back on the phone.
I can download the correct img from this site, put it on my internal/ext SD, but I can't find a way to install it from within GooManager or from a File Manager.
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jflteatt
I need some assistance with instructions on how to install TWRP manually from an img file. Or from a tar file using ODIN if anyone has the link to necessary files and instructions on how to do it. At this point, it doesn't even have to be 2.6.3.0, I'll be just happy to get 2.5.2.0 back.

You won't be able to install it with Goo Manager. Head over the the TWRP website and find your phone that way, and grab the flashing zip file and just flash it in recovery. I had the same issue a few weeks ago.
After some more digging, I was able to find a solution.
For anyone who runs into this problem...I was able to use Quick Flasher from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617 , then choose the flash a new recovery using the correct TWRP img
Everything is good now, I am able to get into TWRP recovery 2.6.3.0

You can get it right here
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/182
That's straight from the horses mouth there. I didn't read much into it, but it looks like they have a odin flashable version. Also make sure that the newest version of TWRP doesn't conflict with the ROM your using. I have read quite a few where the latest version causes issues.
Hello
I have a brand new Samsumg Galaxy S4 but I hate TouchWiz. I want to have the purest Android experience.
I'm a bit new with this phone and haven't used Android in two years now so I'm a bit lost.
What is the latest official Google Play Edition available for my S4? It doesn't have to be Lollipop (although that'd be nice), it can be on KitKat. As long as it's official and untouched (if such a thing exists)
Thank you for your time and help!
I use this rom
It's mostly stock but with a few features added. It has an aroma installer from which you can choose what to install. E.g if you want stock kernel or custom kernel.

Thanks! I'll definitely try it. The only thing is I tried to install TWRP yesterday but the phone started to load it and then stopped. There was a tiny tiny progress color but when I just restarted the phone without completing the process, it worked fine which shows that it didn't even start.
I flashed TWRP using Nandroid manager (from google play) and the img file you get from the twrp site.
That's the only method that worked for me.
TWRP Image
Nandroid Manager
If you're on stock rom, nandroid manager will prompt you to install busybox app from google play (since stock roms don't have busybox). Just download it and install busybox using that app.
Then you can use Nandroid manager to flash that twrp recovery image. Then boot into recovery to make sure it works
Thank you! I've installed TWRP now. I'll continue the tutorial and keep you posted!
Alright it worked! Thanks a bunch!
No problem
Hi.
I bought the nvidia shield android tv pro (500GB model). the built-in OS is... well you probably know it`s bad...
so I installed the custom rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-t3138575
the custom rom works fine and I just wanted to install cm and supersu. however, when I boot TWRP (2.8.6.0) and try to install, it fails (can`t mount storage).
I tried it a few times and couldn't get it to work.
the only solution I can think of is installing TWRP (instead of just booting to it). should I do that? I thought it`s best to keep the original recovery.
Thanks!
Images attached.
I'm not an expert, but I had trouble rooting too. With my 16 GB model I had to manually mount the relevant partitions in TWRP (fill in the checkboxes in "Mount") before I flashed SuperSU. Also, it appears that you're using teletype's TWRP? I think that's for the 16 GB model only. Make sure you're using Steel01's latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...very-twrp-2-8-6-0-shield-tv-variants-t3140926
Also, what do you mean by "install cm"? Because there's not yet any working build of CyanogenMod that I know of for this device.

I tried manualy mounting... it doesn't mark the checkbox, only logs 'can`t mount /...' .
I used the TWRP posted in this forum (all varients) - the same one you sent.
by "install cm" I meant "install google`s stuff":
Gapps for CM 12.1 arm64 version: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
(from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-t3138575)
basicaly I don't have to root. it's just a bonus. however, I do HAVE to install somehow google`s apps (mainly the play store). how do I do that?
i installed the default supersu that come with the twrp and the update supersu trough the play store and issues was fixed, it was the easier thing to do, goo luck

how do I do that? and I don't have a play store, I installed that custom rom.
ohh im sorry i did not read your post but you should ask the developer of the rom and/or install latest trwp available, best luck
I would like to ask for any help possible because it is getting just too frustrating
I have been trying to make Xposed to work for over a good 2 weeks now with no luck.
I have researched extensively on ARM and sdk22 to see if it is possible to make this version of the Grand Prime Work with progress being halted right the point of install. Most attempts by work around posted here by developers ended up with this version of grand prime to go into boot loop/system wipe somehow or simple error in process.
1- Rooted the G530-W (using G530-H as it was the only one compatible through trial and error)
2 - Installed Custom Recovery TWRP
3 - I have no clue if the rom has been DEOXED for any method install a DEOXED version has so far been incompatible
Any help tips or proper steps will be greatly appreciated
The phone is a
OS -5.1.1
Grand Prime (G530-W)
CPU - Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53
Cortex A53 - 32/64 bit processor running SDK 22
Micro arch. - ARMv8-A
UPDATE:
Alright finally managed to do this after weeks of attempts.
Here are the steps for users who might be in my situation.
Step 1:
Back Up your Phone (Yes, I know you are too much of pro to do that and will not screw something up but guess what you will)
Use samsungs kies-3 or smart switch to do that. Probebly the best ones if you are using a pc. You can use titanium back up or any other app from the app store to make the process much easier.
Step 2:
Root your G530W
Most root methods work for grand prime variations close to it. (Suggest using any G530H root method)
Search for root G530H or any varition of grand prime released in 2014-2015
Step3:
Find your stock rom file.
this wiil be important if you somehow wipe everything off your phone. Search for your carrier example Bell, Vergin, Verison etc plus the correct version of the rom.
-You do not NEED it but its good to have
Link for Grand Prime G530W...
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G530W/
Step 4:
Install TWRP, go to TWRP main website and flash latest verson of TWRP. This should not trip anything unless your root method was unsucceful the TWRP should work.
If this does not work for Grand Prime try older versions of TWRP, personaly I had issues later on with TWRP boot looping me. So to save the hassle I downloaded a version specified for 5.0.2 but able to run fulll on 5.1.1
I am new so I do not know if we are allowed to have download links here from external sources but if need for the specific TWRP i used il provide it.
Step 5:
Search for Samsung 5.1.1 xposed installer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
And download v79.1 ARM (ARM only for G530W) SDK 22
You can also download uninstaller for any future tweaking.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALL THE LATEST ALPHA APK of xposed framework, its v4 i believe
You can install this by flashing your zip file in TWRP
FLASH:
Go into recovery - this will pop up custom recover
Go to install
Find where the zip file is
Click on it and install, it will ask for reboot
Step 6:
After flash wait for reboot
Do not panic if long SAMSUNG logo even after 5 min (Unless its 30 or 1 hour then we have a problem)
Step7:
Profit
Where did you find a custom recovery for sm-g530w? When I downloaded twrp this model is not listed. The only one I saw on the list was galaxy grand prime ve which it would not allow me to download.

Try flashing this with Odin, it works fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gra...om-recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0for-lollipop-t3190351
EDIT: Even though it seems like the G530W doesn't have many users interested in this sort of customization, I would like to confirm that this method to install Xposed is working fine so far on my SM-G530W with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and the TrapKernel by ShinySide. Installed a few modules and activated and rebooted, no problems at all so far. Also, thanks for the info, I was really hoping to find that someone had successfully installed the xposed framework on this phone.

Thank you so much with this, i tested and it should be working, this is a failsail type step process but strictly SM-G530W
Nacho Thanks for the proper trwp XD
Anyways
Step One:
Backup
Nandroid/SD/Partitions/System/Rom
U can search how to do these, not really complicated but
Step Two:
Find your Rom, in this thread there is a link to it above
Step Three: (NOTE THIS IS NOT NEEDED, ONLY IF THINGS ARE MESSED UP)
Perform full restore
Get all the service updates after reboot
Step Four: (CAN BE STEP ONE IF U DID NOT DO THE FULL RESTORE, BUT IT IS VERY HANDY)
Flash root your phone with odin
Now not all can work, but most do with the varients to SW-G530W (so basically 530h is the best bet)
Nacho's root may have worked for him but not for me so its an experiment
I personally used ------- TrapKernel_G530T_AOF8_Root.tar -----
I sadly have no links, so if u can find THIS SPECIFIC one it will probebly work, as it is a variation of TrapKernal
Step Five: (OPTIONAL)
Install necessary apps/files that need to be varified by google or their counter services
For example if u want snapprefs (HANDY SNAP HACK TOOL) u must install the proper version of snapchat that works with it and authentcate yourself with the app by loging in.
After the installation of Xposed it is no longer possible because a FEW companies tend to place a check if xposed is installed
If u do not do this step then to get these apps working u will have to restart this entire process, so full restore, and back to step 1
Step 6:
Install TWRP

YUP Thanks to nacho for the link the recovery will function and can do all the task u need without tether and all that, and s#it ton of glitches and crashes
Step Seven:
Flash Xposed 79.1 (link in original post above) through flashy
This will manually install it through your phone
You can try doing it through twrp directly but this sometimes caused a entire twrp to crash for me so do what works, try flashy first, if not then do it manually
Step 8:
Install the xposed app
Step9:
This should be it, u can now get SU, and App2Sd whatever floats your boat to completely blow up your phone
Any more links will be great and if im wrong or something confusing il be happy to reply
The kernel I'm using comes with root, if I remember correctly. All that's required is to install supersu from the play store.
I really would like to see a more stable release of twrp for this phone though. The current one available is by far better than nothing, but I can't use it to make a full backup and it, for lack of a better explanation, does some weird **** sometimes.
I work at a shop and someone brought me a Yoga Tab 3 8" tablet that was on a screen that asked for an original google account.
It was purchased without much thought because i figured it was just part of the setup.
No this is actually a Device Protection feature google has had since Lollipop apparently.
There is a way around it if anyone is interested or is in a soft brick that they can access the recovery from.
NOTE :
THIS IS FOR THE YOGA TAB 3 8" YT3-850F ONLY!!!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DESTROY YOUR TABLET! PLEASE BE CAREFUL. DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FOR WRONG MODEL. CONFIRM YOUR MODEL NUMBER BY LOOKING ON THE BACK STICKER BEFORE PROCEEDING.
You will need :
A Computer
A Micro SD Card and Adapter
A couple of hours time
Patience...
Patience........
Firstly, as always, make sure the device is charged before attempting any of this please.
Download the stock firmware from This Link.
Do not extract the firmware at all or rename it, just leave it as it is, it will take about an hour to download.
After you have the firmware downloaded move the zip file to the root of the MicroSD Card on the computer.
Eject the SDCard from the computer and put it into the Yoga Tab.
Reboot into recovery by pressing Power and Vol+ let go of Power when you see the Lenovo logo.
Once in recovery go ahead and do a factory reset/data wipe.
The next step is to actually flash the zip you put on the MicroSD earlier. You go down to apply update from SD using the Volume + and -
buttons. Power to select an option. Select the Zip you downloaded from this guide.
it will take approximately 20-30 minutes to fully install the update. after it installs it will boot up like new again, with no Google Device Protection, and it is a possible way to unbrick!

It looks like a modified package from China. I successfully installed the zip file. After rebooting, the version noted was YT3-X50F_S000022_150714_PRC (which I presumed to be People's Republic of China). The update zip does not contain any Google apps (including Play Store).

That's correct; but you can just flash the Gapps 5.1.1 ("mini" package) from Cyanogenmod (that's what I did); and then once you've got superSU installed, remove the non-North American "store" apps ^_^

Sorry for the delay in my response, but yes, this is correct. Just flash the Google apps and you will be good to go. I'm not sure where I found the firmware but there is a link there to the download. I'm pretty sure I just dug around google alot and found a post to the firmware somewhere else on XDA but to tell you the truth it was actually really difficult for me to get google apps installed and working properly and this firmware sometimes would not flash it would just sit there saying opening update.zip for hours. Good thing the battery life on that thing was amazing. :laugh:

A good starting point for this is to look into rooting and get a custom recovery. Then you can flash zip files, such as google play store.

You can flash the TWRP for the x50M and then install google apps. The recovery will not stay - it will revert back to stop recovery. Search XDA for TWRP-2.8.7.7_YT3-X50M.zip
Recover, install recovery, root
BEFORE ANYTHING.... unlock your bootloader
Install Drivers for Lenovo Tablet, So Adb can see your device
Open your Adb Command Windows (windows)
Commands!
Adb Devices ------- this should return a device Id # ... if it doesn't your drivers are not correct ....
Adb Reboot bootloader -------- this Should take you to the Big Lenovo Screen (it will stay there, this is fastboot mode)
Fastboot Devices ------- This Should Return The Device Id (except fastboot Device Id #)
Fastboot Oem unlock-go ------- This Should Unlock Your bootloader (allow flashing of custom firmwares, boot images, recoverys etc) THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!!!!
After unlocking bootloader
Flash this Stock Firmware (if you haven't already)
This is FULL STOCK FIRMWARE ... not an OTA zip...

Custom Built TWRP by Me... Enjoy
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1d...ew?usp=sharing
(this was based off the Twrp source that metalchef mentioned)
I recommend BOOTING it through fastboot if your only planning on flashing a few things and taking a single backup here and there... if you flash zips ALOT ... then just flash it ...
Fastboot Boot Recovery.img (this is the command you need inside of fastboot for booting recovery)
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this is to flash recovery to tablet)
#Note# you need to put the recovery.img inside your adb folder... or drag and drop it to command window after typing "fastboot boot"
This will allow it to boot from any file path ....
To Gain Root ... Use Kingoroot , Un-intall the Superuser that kingoroot gives you ... get supersu (chainfire) from market and update the binary....
or flash supersu.zip through recovery
( I haven't tried to flash supersu because kingoroot worked) and ive exhausted so much time on the recovery ... im going to take a break ...
Afterwards .... You SHOULD have the device your seeking....
