Hello,
How to restore, with knox=0x0, a nandroid backup (normal mode) done with Flashfire when a bootloop/FC appears ?
1)
Actually I have to downgrade to 4.4.2 with odinPC +tr +supersu and upgrade with Flashfire the Alexndr 5.0 DevBase rom then flash BL+CP with OdinPC and finally restore the flashfire backup. Is there a faster way ?
2)
Can we hope to have Flashfire run from a combination of keys like download mode ?
Or can only be launched from the running rom ?

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Note 3 "SM-N9005" with the original stock firmware and I recently updated some of my Android firmware files to 4.4.2 using the official software updater, when I rebooted after the update I have lost my ability to access the Clockworkmod Recovery and I can only access the original phone recovery mode, even-though I still have SuperSU installed and my phone is still rooted.
I have tried re-installing CMW Recovery using both the RomManager and flashing it using Odin, I also tried flashing the "CF auto root" , but all my efforts was of no use.
Please help
Thanks

1. Stock Recovery appears when you flash new Stock ROM.
2. Root access dissapears too when you flash new Stock ROM. SuperSU is only the app for manage the root access that you can download of the Play Store being rooted or no.
3. Dial *#1234# and tell me what appears. You will need reflash the stock Rom maybe.
4. Flash correct CF-Auto-Root then.
5. I recommend u use TWRP or Philz Recovery better than CWM.
I used your CF Auto Root, and now I have root access, so when I dial *#1234# the supersu opens.
Still cant install CNW Recovery, How I could restore my nandroid backup to downgrade the OS if I cant accesses CNW Recovery mode?

You can't downgrade the OS. You can use TWRP that i told u before. Only flash it through ODIN.
I managed to install "PhilZ CNW Recovery" instead. How could I use PhilZ to downgrade the android from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using my nandroid backup from before?
Should I restore thee backup directly, or should I wipe the partitions first?

Read my post #4.
Hello,
This is the first time for me to post about something on xda but I'm pretty familiar with flashing custom roms, custom recoveries, root, flashing stock via odin and so on. There is however a thing I would like to find out from more experienced users because I want to be ready for when the 5.0 update will be released.
I now have i9505 4.4.2 stock/ no root, and TWRP 2.8 installed. Obviously I can't OTA with this configuration when 5.0 will hit.
So I was wondering how I could update to official 5.0 and keep all my apps and data and system settings.
I was thinking I could:
1. Backup my current stock 4.4.2 rom using TWRP.
2. Then flash 5.0 stock via odin/ or flash 4.4.2 via odin and then OTA to 5.0 ( which is better ???)
So now I am on 5.0 all stock, nothing else installed.
3. Then install TWRP via odin again.
4. And finally use TWRP to restore only the DATA partition from my 4.4.2 backup
Will this work and restore apps and their data + system settings ?
Thank you for your answers !

Well did you keep ANY KIND FORM OF BACK UP TO RESTORE BEFORE GOING TO LOLLIPOP?
If not,
1. Returning to stock will bring you back to Stock KitKat ROM.
2. Back up your data and pictures to the cloud or Hard Drive.
3. Download your .kdz file using your IMEI from www.lg-firmware-rom.com
4. Like @raulx222 said, Return to Stock Firmware.
5. CREATE A NANDROID BACKUP.
6. Install your desired custom KitKat ROM.
Give more info please. When you flashed lollipop, which ROM you flashed? you flashed other files too?
Anyway, flashing the stock firmware is almost any time a way to solve the issues ..You could backup your files from TWRP via MTP and then flash the stock firmware. You also can backup your files with TWRP using a usb flash stick and a OTG cable.
restore to kitkat
Hello just flash this attached file in recovery. After that flash jb bootloader for d802 and baseband and recovery you use for roms you use. Everything will work
Btw the zip contains stock kk 20H partitions you need to restore. Simplerom to work on lollipop modify this partiton on your device to be as f320 model in some areas to get lollipop booting
Tell me did you make it boot
If I install custom recovery (via odin) my stock recovery will be gone right. So, how do I backup my current stock recovery.img so that I can recover it later? I was looking for the answer on many threads and most xda members suggest to use the 'fastboot' method (which temporarily injected the custom recovery and return the stock recovery immediately). But this fastboot method does not work with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005. Is there any other alternative how to backup the stock recovery?
EDIT: the alternative method that I can think of is to use Flashify app. It can backup the stock recovery image but, in other to use this app, I must be root. and in other to root i must install custom recovery.. and.... yeah I lost the stock recovery.. this is the problem.
Reflash the official rom

Hmmm.. here is my situation. I have the official ROM KitKat. It contains the kitkat stock recovery.img. I updated my phone to Lollipop and I believe it has updated my recovery.img to lollipop version (I found it has more options than the KitKat version). I cannot find the official ROM of my phone. My question is,
where can I find the official lollipop ROM? I just received it via OTA. Does reflashing the ROM will backup my recovery.img? I mean I want to obtain this recovery.img file.
