How do I install Clockwordrecovery on Samsung Note 3 SM-N900P?

Greetings-
I am able to root, and install twrp on my phone just fine. But I am not having much luck with Clockwordmod. I found this link which is a very organized, and comprehensive list of software including CWM. It points to this one, which points to this. My question is I don't know which file to pick. And for some reason Odin does not recognize the one I downloaded. I tried to flash the file with flashify, but I get into a boot loop. Can anyone point me to procedures and files which worked for this platform? I am running N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_SPR. The main CWM site only seems to have the latest version, which is not odin compatible, and I am not sure if it works with my phone's software. I think it is meant for lollipop?

If you have TWRP why do you want CWM? They do the same function.

Thanks. My understanding is I can not flash a zImage with twrp, but I can do it with CWM. Is that not correct? The reason I just want to flash the zImage is I want to eliminate some of the steps, and see why my image does not work.

I'm not sure what a zimage is - but normal image (img) files can be flashed in TWRP.

zimage is the kernel .

I am afraid this does not help me. Don't mean to be unappreciative. I have done some research, and saw somewhere CWM can flash zImage. I have not seen the same comment about TWRP; I tried it regardless. TWRP does not recognize zImage format. I have looked into reformating the file, but I have to rely on scripts, and I am not sure if the issue with my image is in the packing stage or something else. I want to be able to replace the packing step with a tool like CWM, which is already verified. This is important for me, since I want to make sure I am not doing something wrong and messing up the file when I pack it. Can someone please help? The original question stands; has anyone successfully put CWM on this platform, and if so please share the file(s) and procedure(s) with me.

Well I have had CWM on my n9005, which doesn't help, but have you tried on the Sprint forums? There's n900p CWM Recovery and a search brings up a number of threads to check.
One immediate thing that jumps out is it recommends using Odin 3.04 - maybe it doesn't work with other versions?

Thank you so much. I'll give it a try. I hoped for a more recent version of CWM. I just found out that I can use flashify to flash .img files; so I am gonna try that on my recovery.img file I just built. That may fulefill my requirement.
Thank you so much for the help.

Unable to install any rom with recovery.

I have a Note 3 N9005.
I installed the latest TWRP recovery.
No matter which rom I try to flash to the system, the same thing happens.
I see that the Aroma installer is strarting and than it just resets for no reason, no install made.
The only sulotion I have found so far is to install a 5.0 stock rom via Odin.
I want to install a custom rom 6.0.1.
Does anyone know what the hell?

Sae problem but a lil worse!!

I tried to do the same but ended up bricking my phone. So then I try to unbrick/unroot my phone by flashing the stock rom but I can't do that either cause now it says "Volume Size is too big 4620288<4718599. Need help!!!! ASAP!

Hey guys, I had the same problem at first and it freaked me out too.
Try installing the older 2.8.7.0 version for TWRP through the app, instead of the latest or any other after v3 for that matter. Apparently I've read from other forums that it's due to lack of Aroma Installer Support.
Hope this helps

Confirm the phone's model # by booting into download mode befor flashing TWRP or a stock ROM from sammobile.com.

Will try
I flashed the stock rom packege with odin.
saved my phone after brick.
so you are saying that by downgrading the TWRP recovery i can use aroma insatller based roms again?
cause i also tried to install reserection remix rom (I think this has no aroma in it), i got a massage that said that i cannot install it as well.
refuses to let me change into anything but stock rom.
rooting did not help at all.

To be honest I don't really know about Cyanogen Mod, however this was just my personal experience with Aroma Installer. I've tried DarkWolf_FW and Aryamod ROMs which are both S7 Edge Port ROMs, and they both use Aroma Installer.
- Also! Take the opportunity to make a Nandroid backup just in case the installation goes bad, then you can restore to where you are right now. Honestly downgrading just worked for me so please don't make me liable if anything goes to pot, at least you will have a full device backup to the exact point in your system which I have found extremely useful when trying different ROMs and Kernels.

tnks
don't worry man
1. I always backup the whole phone before ANY change.
2. your suggestion sound interesting, cause i tried the same rom's you did but no install was made.
3. i'll maybe try a different recovery... maybe CWM.

Hey, just randomly thinking, did you reset all your System, Data and Cache and Dalvik Cache files before you tried to install the ROMs? Sorry, this might not make a difference, but I don't think I have any more advice to give (I'm kinda new to this too ).
Hope CWM recovery goes well, let me know how it goes

Doing a complete backup before anything is always the safest bet.
From my experience, TWRP 3+ is fine for CM and AOSP based ROMs.
TWRP 2.8.7-0 is the one you should use to flash ROMs using AROMA Installer.
If you read the OP (opening post) on any ROM forum, it will usually include installation instructions and generally states which TWRP version should be used.
Good Luck.

You just need download mode to flash it.

I presume when you say it doesn't turn on you mean it doesn't boot into the Android environment. Have you tried unplugging the battery and pressing the Volume Up + Home + Power Button? Yes... I was surprised you don't have to be an octopus too..
Then restore the Nandroid backup from before.
You can also flash TWRP through Odin without root, have a look at the TWRP website for more info.

all you need is to flush new stock rom via Odin.
Search the web (like I did) to find a stock rom with 4 .tar files in it.
There should be instructions on how to install but usually all needs to be done is this:
1. load odin 3.*
2. enter the phone in download mode.
3. After you see the line 'add' in odin, load the .tar files to the correct place each (not hard they are tagged by same name)
4. Flush and pray.
5. After a successful install the phone will reboot, this will take a while so don't get streesed.
after about 10-15 min the phone will load again.
Root one more time via odin and try to install again.

[STOCK][N] Images and zips for 20a

Short on tons of time, but here you go for your downloading pleasure...
First off, you have the OTA zip from LGE, it only works on stock recovery...
Download From Google
Android File Host Mirror(s)
Working on update zip for twrp users currently.. Stay tuned

Question. If I'm using TWRP, is it possible to just flash the stock recovery with one of those .IMG flashing apps to regain stock recovery and flash the update? Or would I just be better off waiting for a TWRP flashable zip?

Wait for the TWRP zip if you want to keep recovery. Flashing stock recovery will probably lock you out without an updated TOT as the fuses likely have been changed

Lol dude do you read at all look at the op he said he's working on it. The golden rule of xda is never ask for updates. Your the one being a **** by annoying someone who's trying to make a flashable zip for you. If you can't wait then make it yourself this a development forum.

Go to the Google Play store.....get an app called Flashify...... Select Recovery Image, select/download TWRP 3.0.2.1 (latest version) and it will flash the recovery to your previously rooted phone in a few seconds. Enjoy. :laugh:

Man i told u before i tried these all exactly 3 type of file with 3 methods.

If TWRP doesnt work, idk if this can help you. The last options is flash other recovery to remove this problem. Try philz and cwm (which is the same but philz is advanced). Tip: If one recovery doesnt work dont try it
PS: You have the same scenario like me on TWRP installation

Struggling with J500FN

Hey all.
I'm in need of a bit of help. I have a J5 and was getting sick of being told theres never any space to install apps, so I rooted it hoping to be able to remove the stock apps that come inbuilt like word, excel etc.... Anyway, I then decided to take it a step further and try and install a custom rom, long story short, im stuck with a green screen
I've been googling and following tutorials for hours now and I'm really at the point of giving up, so thought I would reach out incase i'm just over tired from it all and making silly mistakes.
I have TWRP 3.1.1-0 on my phone, I installed Lineage 14.1 figured out how to change the updater-script, green screen. I then installed a stock rom advanced I found here, green screen. I tried Aokp nightly nougat, green screen. After googling green screen I found a post saying its something to do with incompatibility from TWRP and that I need to install lollipop 5.1.1 firmware first before I can change to lilneage 14.1... Ive been googling for ages and I'm either coming to sites that want me to pay to download it at a reasonable speed or wait for hours. I'm a bit dubious as no other rom seems to have worked and I'm not sitting here with an empty phone.
Thanks.

Most of the roms comes with root. In case it doesnt have root, you flash it after flashing the ROM.

No, I used Odin with the cf autoroot for my device.

I had problems with cf auto root, particularly the green screen on boot,try flashing the supersu from their site.

Tried it, used first one on the site, installed okay but can't see the su app anywhere, then tried the x86 version in case but wouldn't install.

Oh never mind, had to enable dev mode and enable root for apps and adb first, there is no actual app. I ran another app and it asked for root permission.
