The only custom recovery you can have on 4.4.2 is safestrap. You can't have twrp or cwm.

Update guessing is the ota? You can use flashify app from play store to flash either TWRP recovery 2.6.3.2 that is a IMG. Or 2.6.3.3. That's a zip file .....
Okay will try

I just read in another thread that custom recoveries cannot yet be flashed on the latest OTA. You have to revert back in order to have a custom recovery. According to this thread.

If you DONT have the ota and update with a custom recovery it will bootloop, need stock recovery but if you have the ota flashing a custom recovery is fine...could always see if theirs a stock ROM with ota included too
I have the ota and twrp recovery rooted...

I got the phone this past Friday. Took the ota update before even attempting to root the device. I used the newest ioroot12 and achieved root yesterday. I have tried to use the Loki method to flash recovery also tried using flashify neither one has worked. What method did you use. Also thanks for your help...??

if you are on the 10o software version on an ATT phone ten yes I would recommend flashing back wit the flash tool if you want to be able to flash roms. There are a lot of people that had the 0o software and had issues flashing different roms

Can't flash Cwm or TWRP

Hello, I've looked around for a solution to this with no joy. I managed to root my note 3 with no problem with cf autoroot only to find that I still had a stock recovery.
I tried other methods also and I just cannot get a custom recovery to flash on my device.
When I try to flash a cwm via Odin it leaves me in a bootloop.
Any ideas?
Its the SM-N9005 Model
Thanks

Tried CWM or TWRP?
Yes i did state that
Sent from my Moto G using xda app-developers app
You mentioned cwm but not twrp ( unless I missed it ). I linked cwm just to make sure you used the one proven to work with 4.4.2 as you didn't mention exactly which one you used and I believe there are other cwm variants ( phil's touch, original cwm ). If my attempt to help isn't appreciated, a simple yes or no would suffice. I know how to read.

What firmware/bootloader version are you on? I337? Most likely you're on a version where twrp or cwm will not work. Only mdb and mdl bootloaders allow a custom recovery other than safestrap.

You're on nj4 firmware. Safestrap is the only recovery that'll work for you. See the general forum for help.
