Hello all.
How can I backup I9515L? I have a Galaxy Ace and I was using CWM. Now with I9515L, should I have to use CWM again? I tried CWM but it doesn't recognizes my phone model. Is there a specific version of CWM?
Thanks!

It's a new device model. I think isn't any custom recovery still.
Yeas. It's a good phone!

hi. I had installed CWM Recovery 1.0.3.4.
Is this the latest CWM recovery for Galaxy S4 ( I337) for AT&T?
Thank you.

Go to official CWM Recovery page and find the image for your specific device. The latest versions are always listed there.

Thank you.
You can use Rom Manager from the market 2 as long as you are on an AT&T rom. Other wise it will want to flash the wrong recovery.

Just flash. All custom ROMs have root.
Btw, you need a custom recovery to flash a ROM (like TWRP, CWM)

Not necessarily. You can flash a custom recovery through Odin and not root it at all and then just install a already rooted ROM.

CWM is always reliable. Some prefer TWRP. I'm using Philz Touch. It depends on your preferences. CWM is the most stable.
Hi,
Yesterday I went to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy s4 (GT19505) and it wouldn't work. The first time, it started then went to a black screen. I turned my phone back on to find it wouldn't boot up at all (I waited over 10 minutes for it). I can access recovery mode, and when I did it again, it said md5 couldn't be found.
I used Odin to flash the most recent CT auto root and then moved over TWRP (with Odin) and I had no trouble with these.
I accidentally moved TWRP 2.5 over instead of 2.7. I was running 4.4 KitKat on my phone. Could it be 2.7 isn't compatible with CM 11?
Help!?
It should just work.
Flash the latest TWRP or Philz.
Perform a full wipe.
Flash Cyanogenmod.
What version are you trying to flash from Cyanogenmod? Use the nightlys and if one doesn't work try the version before that one.
ps you can skip the step nexttime about flashing cf-auto root. You don't have to do this. You can just flash the recovery you want.

I'm using a stable version. I haven't downloaded any latest ones. How would i do that if I can't access the phone? Boot it to download then go from there?
are you sure you (even) flashed a (compatible) kernel?

Is there any difference between 19500 and 19505? I'll try a new CM download...knowing my uncertainty I probably got an incompatible rom.
How stable are the nightlies?

You should only flash a rom for YOUR model phone, and for me the nightlies were stable enough to use.

So I redid TWRP, now what about CM 11? TWRP uses the jfltexx in its name...do I just use Odin to move CM?
So, I installed TWRP 2.7 and it worked. All is good, currently enjoying CM!!!
Now the battery is saying it's at 0%...how do I fix that?
Now my password isn't working for some reason. I did a restore with TWRP and now I can get into my phone. Fix?

hi
root is not necessary only if you need it , for flashing you need custom recovery (twrp) and rom
from the thread
Installation instructions
I only support the latest TWRP recovery, AT&T users must loki after flashing
-Full wipe
-Flash ROM
-Reboot

You should root because only then you would be able to back up EFS, and EFS backup is very recommended before you Flash anything custom.

Tried the G7102's CWM? No difference, as in my old Galaxy Star, the same build of CWM worked on two variants.
Technically, there shouldn't be a difference.
If it failed, you can simply fix using Odin.

You're using 4.3 recovery on 4.4.2.
That's it.

I'm sure that this would work.
Use the older PhilZ Touch 6.48 for 4.3.
You can find it in the recovery section.
Make sure you use the old release, not the new KitKat one.

tried but failed i also updated to kitkat 4.4.2 and tried the kitkat recovery it also failed i think there 's a qualcomm secure bootloader but it should also be on sm-g7102 how this recovery works on that device.CWM should be ported for this device seperately because this device has a different case.

Secure Boot doesn't affect anything.
Make sure you use a 4.4.2 recovery on 4.4.2.
Redownload as to eliminate mix-up between recoveries.
