I am using G900F, rooted when I was at 4.4.2, now on Lollipop, I want to root it, I saw some informations, that if I want to root on Android L, I must install a custom recovery first, how to flash a custom recovery on Android L?
Same way as you would pre-lollipop
CF-Root. Depends on your Lollipop rom.
Or: back to KK -> towelroot -> Pre rooted lollipop via mobile Odin --> TWRP manager for custom recovery

how to flash custom roms from stock?
is your device rooted
do you have odin installed on a PC
Do you have a custom recovery installed
First, you'll have to root your device, preferably by Towelroot (if you want to keep your warranty) or CF Auto-Root (if you don't care about Knox and your warranty), then install a recovery, preferably TWRP, then flash your desired ROM via TWRP. Good luck and have fun with your rooted device!

You don't need root to flash custom rom.
You need only custom rcovery to flash rom.
Download custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) for your device. Flash it with the Odin.
Then boot into recovery and flash custom rom from there (follow the instruction for each custom rom).
Just as the title asks, is there any custom recovery available for Verizon S5 running latest rooted, stock ROM? I have been unable to find a straight answer. I know NCG build works with Safestrap, but is there any custom recovery out there for BOC4 build? If not, how have people been installing mods and other zips that require flashing?

No custom recovery yet. Unless you want to venture into this post.

Flashfire will flash zips and firmware. And do backups. You can get it at the top of this post.

You can use flashfire, which is a very easy ways to install ROMs, or, when you want to install a ROM, just flash a Kitkat kernel in Odin and safestrap will work if you have it installed.

Can I flash any kit Kat kernel over lollipop BOC4? Or do I have to flash a stock KitKat image too?

If you had safestrap installed you flash a KitKat kernel right over your OC4 to get safestrap to boot up. Before your phone boots all the way up, go into recovery, and flash your ROM. Boot into download mode via safestrap, Odin the corresponding firmware.
I have used flashfire quite a bit to go up and down. The only problem I had is when I was on NGC. Flashfire wouldn't work for me. I'm no expert but this is how I've done it with flashfire.
1. Hit the plus, select firmware, only check boot and recovery.
2. Hit plus, select zip-ota and your ROM ( don't check auto mount)
3. Hit plus, select firmware again, check boot, recovery, modem, firmware. Flashfire will ask if you want them in separate zips, say yes.
4. Hit plus and wipe. Wipe all but SD card).
Arrange like this
1. Wipe
2. Firmware- boot+recovery
3. ROM
4. Firmware- modem+firmware
5. Firmware-boot+recovery
6. EverRoot - inject SuperSU
7. Reboot
I've gone to OA8, OC4, NI2, and NK2 with no problems. I'm getting ready to test NE9 but like I said I had trouble coming from NGC. Try at your own risk.
Edit: Just went from NI2 to NE9 Alliance ROM with no problems
I can't find a good guide (most guides provide link to goo.in which is down)
I am on a custom rooted 5.0 touchwiz rom... can I just flash philz_touch_6.26.2-klte.tar.md5 using ODIN??
Should be able to, or TWRP is a favourite
Can use TWRP manager from the play store too
I need to remove TWRP recovery from my phone but can't find the 5.0.1 stock recovery. What would be the quickest way to get stock recovery back? I recently upgraded to an S6 so I don't have any of my firmware saved on my pc anymore.
Installing stock rom. I don't know if you can have stock recovery with custom roms.

I don't have a custom rom on my phone. I think I just used TWRP to root it (it was a while back so I can't remember).
I am a new member and I don't know where to post this on the forum and I am unable to send this via the contact link at XDA... I apologize. Kindly guide...
Hi..
Subject: Installing the custom recovery and latest cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900.
A few details :
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 running on stock rom Android version 4.4.2 and the build Number is N900XXUDND1. It is an Indian version.
I rooted my phone via Odin cfautoroot successfully but was not unable to load custom recovery cwm since the phone would go blank and stuck in boot loop.
I had to reinstall the stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin but could not install custom recovery via Odin and again stuck in boot loop . I reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 and tried installing custom recovery via flashify me app but again the phone went blank although I could go to download mode but stuck in boot loop.
I again reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 via odin but later I could not even root my phone via Odin!!..so I rooted my phone via king root app successfully and then changed it to supersu me root successfully without a problem.
Now the problem is I want to load custom recovery in order to load Cyanogenmod.
I tried installing cwm recovery via the clockworkmod app but it does not recognize my device officially.
I tried installing custom recovery via twrp app but getting error there also.
Now this is the info I see when I am in download mode:
ODIN MODE.
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official.
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom.
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A4
Is the bootloader locked in my device? Is this the reason I am unable to load custom recovery? I don't even know how to check the present status lock/unlock status of bootloader
I want to load custom recovery(cwm or twrp) and load the latest cyanogenmod at the earliest and I would appreciate if I can get step by step details of doing so.
Is it possible to do this without using a computer?...
Thanking you...
You do not need to root the phone before installing a custom ROM. You can install a custom recovery using Odin.

.... Hi.. Thank for replying so soon...
I checked the link you provided but it is all about rooting only.. As mentioned earlier, I rooted my phone and confirmed the same via root checker app. Now I just want to install cwm/twrp recovery and then go ahead and install cyanogenmod...
