[Q] - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today i am update my phone to official lolipop from samsung and...
My wifi button don't work he is always grey
I know what to do but.....i don't have root permisions
For root i need to instal cwm but all computers don't recognize my phone
Now i need update.zip to flash in this stock cwm to get new cwm with install zip from sd
Or any other way to install cwm or twrp
Can anyone help me?

Download the modem files from the appropriate thread in S4 General, download a copy of Odin, and flash the modem through Odin. That should solve your problem. Then worry about rooting.

I know
Haa i know that but cant connect phone on pc

Use a PC with the correct drivers installed

problem is in my phone
ahh friends connecting problem is inside my phone no drivers and pc.Regulator of voltage Is die in my phone and he can only charge cant use USB
i need update.zip to flash recovery who have optin to install zip from sd card after this my problem is solved

Then you're going to have to get your S4 fixed before you can do anything. In order to root Android 5.x on the S4 you have to use Odin, which requires you to be connected to a PC.

if you got a GT-i9505 you can download a custom recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte/
Than download Odin3.09, select AP and choose the md5.tar file
Start your phone to download mode and connect it to your pc, hit start on odin
go to your custom recovery and go to philz settings, than click reroot system.
install SuperSu from market

[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?

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T) not booting into recovery

Hello there,
So I was trying to update the android version on my Note 3, because android 5.0 is outdated and vastly unsupported. I rooted my phone correctly, and flash TWRP onto it with Odin v3.10.6. But every time I try to boot into recovery, it simply goes into the Odin flash screen. I'm not able to access the recovery, and not able to install the rom (Lineage OS).
I have tried re-flashing the rom.
If there is any solution to this, please let me know.
Thank you.
Search your question answered many times .
Usual is you are flashing a TWRP for the wrong model .
Try an older TWRP and then upgrade TWRP .
There is no need to root the phone before flashing TWRP.
WARNING: there is always a risk of bricking a phone whenever flashing files with Odin. Be prepared to deal with a possibly bricked phone.
This method has worked for several of my Samsung phones:
Download Odin 3.07: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
Download the tar version of TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote3qualcomm.html
Open Odin, do not check anything except for f reset time. Place TWRP in the PDA slot, flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to boot into recovery.
The T-Mobile Note 3 forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile
Thanks!
Thanks So Much!
I was able to bot into the recovery and install lineage OS!
:good::good:
Glad it worked for you
I need some help anyone. My hlte has been on lollipop for a long time. But decided to try some new roms, haven't flashed in a few years. Anyway I was using the newest twrp and tried flashing a few ROMs but they were unsuccessful. I know from experience that formatting the system deleted all personal data in twrp, so I flashed Philz touch recovery to clean my system for a clean rom install. After that I flashed the last zip file for hlte from the twrp website. And now recovery doesn't boot, but download mode will boot. But I think someone was in my settings before the flash, and disabled USB debugging possibly, because my computer will not detect it. Tried several cables, and other computers, but still will not recognize my note 3. Maybe it's in charging only mode? Because it charges. Is there any hope? Please help if you can. Thanks
TWRP usual is user is using wrong TWRP for the rom .
USB debugging is not needed .
Install Samsung USB drivers to PC . Flash stock rom via Odin .
USB contacts for charging are separate from the USB contacts for data.
It's possible that the USB port on the phone is defective.
