Question About Flashing Custom Recovery - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have currently rooted my galaxy S5 and have supersu. I am a noob to this and I need to now know how I go about installing Phillz touch recovery.

You have two choices
1. Get the zip files and install it using the normal recovery (not sure if this works)
2. Get the tar file and flash it using mobile Odin (if you are rooted) or just the PC Odin, put the file in PDA.
3. Type how to install Philz recovery in google, there is millions of people posted how to!

[Q] s4 problems rooting/installing custom recovery

Hi everyone.
I apologize for my ignorance here, I own the S3, i am helping a buddy with an s4.
he attempted to root and is now getting an error message in his notifications. His wifi won't turn on and his SD card appears to me non-accessible.
Ultimately, we are trying to get a custom recovery installed to flash a custom rom. I have flashed CFroot via odin, but its not working, we do not seem to have root.
There are a few things i am looking for, and am having a tough time finding:
A full md9 stock odin tar
a odin flashable recovery (so we could just odin a recovery and flash a custom rom)
Remember we dont have root right now so we cant install recoveries via rom manager or goo manager.
I am really familiar with Galaxy devices, i think i just need some help from s4 regulars to find the files i need.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Here is the link for the Stock MF9 firmware. Its in a zip when you download. Just unzip and you will see the tar file. Place it in the PDA section of odin.

Here is what I used on both jb and kk. I went to twrp home page and downloaded the latest version (img.tar) and flashed it via Odin 3.09. I then downloaded downloaded the custom ROM and flashed using the recovery. If you are wanting to stay stock with root download the latest version of superSU to your SD card and then flash using the custom recovery.
Here is one thing I found out after updating to KK when holding the buttons to boot into recovery only hold them until you see the text "recovery booting" (or something similar). If you continue to hold, the phone will bootloop and actually turn on. Hope this helps.

please where to download this file please? you said you go to twrp home page, where is it?
Second, you said: If you are wanting to stay stock with root download the latest version of superSU to your SD card and then flash using the custom recovery.
I don't understand what you mean, can we root it without flashing the firmware? only using the latest version of superSU to my SD card and then flash using the custom recovery. that's all.
Other questions:
Oneclic root software can it work with Note 3 N900T 4.3 T-MBIL , Such as: VRoot_1.7.4. or kingo Android root ?

Twrp: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
(Make sure you download the correct version for you OS. Kitkat or Jelly Bean. If it were me I would make sure you are updated to KK.) Make sure the file you download is the one ending with img.tar and flash with Odin.
You do not need to flash a custom ROM to achieve root. You can use the base android version and have root. If you want to use a custom ROM there is no need to mess with SuperSU as almost every ROM will have it prebuilt in. If you are ONLY wanting root without changing your ROM then you will need to flash SuperSU using a custom recovery, I prefer twrp.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Here is the link to get the .zip file for the most up to date version of SuperSU.
Here are some instructions:
Flash twrp using Odin
Enter recovery mode (if not sure how to do it, Google it) Make sure you only hols the buttons until the words "recovery booting" appear and then release.
Once in twrp you can then flash your ROM or SuperSU. If you do not know how to use twrp just look it up on YouTube.
Once you have twrp and SuperSU OR a custom ROM you should be rooted.
WARNING: Rooting your phone with my method WILL trip Knox!
Extra questions: I did research and did not trust the companies performing the one click root. It's up to you on who you trust. I have no experience with the one touch rooting, but as long as they say you device is supported by them then you should be good to go.

N910W8 Custom Recovery?

Hi Everyone,
The Note 4 is my first Android phone and I've been doing a lot of reading the last two hours.
I want to install CyanogenMod because I hate the TouchWiz look. So I discovered I need to root my phone and install a custom recovery. I've rooted my phone successfully but I cannot find the Note 4 listed on the CWM website.
So how do I install a custom recovery on Note 4 N910W8?
TWRP http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/266
Thanks for the link!
Do you happen to have install instructions?
I see a .img, .tar, and a .zip file.
What do I do with them? My first guess was to download the .tar file and use it in Odin with the PDA button (like when I rooted with CF), but selecting the file crashes Odin so I assume that is incorrect.

I downloaded the IMG file one and then I installed the Flashify app from the Google play store and used that to install the IMG recovery.

[Q] Several root attempts - will not move from stock recovery!

So
I have been struggling a couple of hours with this issue: Trying to root my samsung galaxy s4 i 9505, with three different odin versions (now last tried v.1.85) and both CWM and TWRP. I finally managed to get a pass from odin, but whenever I go into recovery mode on my phone, I am at the stock recovery "page", saying Android recovery on the top. Which must mean that I am not rooted.
I have no idea what to do, anyone there with some tricks up their sleeves?

Cheers for your reply, unfortunately I havenĀ“t gotten longer than the first step. I try to flash stock rom, but it seems like i need a pit file and i cannot find a working one anywhere around the internet. Is there some way to find the pit file stored in my phone? Or another place where I can find a working pit file other than the one called CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2?
Edit: Now I successfully reflashed stock rom and installed CWM recovery. Problem is that whenever I try to flash a rom I get the message "installation aborted".
What to do?

Help me please! I think I have made a mess!!!

Hello to everybody, guys I have a problem!
I bought a samsung galaxy tab 4 SM-T530 with rom 4.4.2 (i live in EUROPE) and I used it with two different google profiles.
I don't know why but despite the amount of ram and the 4 core cpu, the tablet become useless, event the web surfing is a pain!!!
So I've decided to enter into the modding world and take away all that services that I don't need, installing a rom already cooked and I choose this:
[TW][5.02][SM-T53X]T530 ,T530NU LP deodex 4pda teamwork
First of all I have saved my personal data and started in this order:
1) Downloaded ODIN
2) Downloaded CF-Auto-Root from https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
I putted the device in download mode and after that I found the superSU app in the tablet
So i downloaded the AD Setup 1.4.2 to install the TWRP --> THE ONE MENTIONED IN THE ROM LINK ABOVE
But the command fastboot didn't recognize the device...
so i found a play store app: FLASHIFY
I putted the TWRP img files on the sd and I flashed the recovery.
After that I putted on the external SD the file .zip of the deodexed rom above but after flashing the tablet stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 4 screen and doing nothing.
So I decided to open odin, choose the original .md5 file 4.4.2 for my device using the AP option and started the transfer.
It succedeed and I went back to 4.4.2, but how can I install the rom above?
What can I do?
I did all the steps well?
Help Me please!!!!
You have to use Odin to install an official lollipop firmware before you can install any custom roms
