actually there was no problem when flashing with odin... i already used the latest odin.. and im already root my sgs2 nicely and my sgs4 (using adam kernel) with odin..
odin last message was successful and no problem..
my device I9500XXUAMDL and i know it already listed there as working device..
so im still confused why my phone cant get CWM installed right T__T while already rooted by adam kernel too..
+another not really important question... im already in this forum since my sgs2 (almost 2year ago) but now im listed as new member -__- hmm what happened here?

Disable Auto Reboot in Odin and flash the CWM, then boot manually into the recovery. Its a known security feature which flashes the stock recovery after reboot.

problem solved

Try this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280457 and don't forget to choose disable recovery flash option when you exit the recovery.

KIES running in background as process?
Tried another USB cable?
Tried to use another USB slot?
In order to turn it off ... did you try to push Powerbutton and hold it pressed until re-boot?
BTW what did you do to get into this situation?

Try flashing a Stock ROM with ODIN
PS: Give more informations please

hi
​Thank you for your quick reply. Fortunately i've resolved the issue. Indeed i've flashed a stock rooted rom(XXBMEA) and it worked. Unfortunately my goal was to flash the new Omega v5.0 rom but it looks like i cant flash the new TWRP 2.5.0 kernel. I can flash it successfuly but nothing happens. Can you please help me in this sittuation. At this momment Im using the XXBMEA stock rooted rom with the wifi and data fully working. So i think i could flash at any momment the Omega rom if i could flash a working TWRP or any other way if u know. Please help me.

Root issue

Hi everyone.
Im having a root issue.
Ive rooted my Galaxy S4 with no problems at all. My firmware version is I9505XXUGNG8.
However when i try to go to the Clockworkmod recovery i can't do it.
It simply goes to the normal system recovery. I want to install a custom rom, so this way i cant do it.
Ive tried some workarounds but the problem continues.
Is there anyway known to fix this?
Thanks

Use flashify app on your phone and flash the recovery zip
Remember it will trip the knox counter

Well, the thing is, i already have my knox on 0x01
Will that allow me to enter a custom recovery mode??
Cause my main problem is that i cant acess a custom recovery mode, that way i cant install a custom rom

Erm what!?
First of all you need odin to flash a custom recovery not the stock recovery.
Or flashify app from the playstore.
Or rom manager app from the playstore.
Only then can you start flashing a rom.
Plus check the file youre using for flashing the CWM recovery.

OK, i will try to explain better my problem
I have installed CF-Auto-Root with Odin and everything just worked fine.
After that i installed Clockworkmod recovery app and flashed. All fine
I want to install a custom rom (paranoid android), but for that i have to restart my phone in clockworkmod recovery mode so i can apply the custom rom and the gapps. Thats where i have my problem.
I dont know if it is because of knox being void already, everytime that i restart my phone, instead of going to clockworkmod recovery mode, the phone only goes to the stock recovery mode. (I still dont understand why)
Thats why i cant install this custom rom. Hope ive explain better now and someone can help

I know that CF-Auto root has issues with the last official firmware for GT-I9505
I will try to flash another one of these youre saying

Tip: After u flashed the custom recovery, don't let your phone boot in to system. First you need to boot into recovery, after this u can boot in your system.

CF root doesn't have issues. You won't need root to use custom recovery.
Just download TWRP, Philz or CWM and flash it with Odin. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing and go.

- you should be on kitkat stock rom.. the recommended firmware is NH6 and NK1 base
- root your phone
- then install recovery like cwm 6.0.5.1 or philz 6.49.0. you can find it on grand 2 thread easily
- after that install S6 styled S5 port. before install. make sure youdo this :
1. wipe data,cache, and dalvik. wipe dalvik can be find in advanced option
2. format system and boot in mount and storage option
3. then flash the rom
4. then aroma installer should be begin. there 2 option here
- wipe external sd card : this will wipe all your external sd card
- no wipe
if you dont want your data in ext gone.. dont choose wipe ext sd card !
instead use no wipe
5. oh yeah after that flash deds kernel v2.0 in kernel section of grand 2 thread. if you already download it. just flash it..
the reason flash deds kernel because it will fix the wifi and xposed installer issue
- and its finished. just reboot your phone now.. wait 5 minute and yay.. :laugh:
if i help. please hit thanks button okay

hmm maybe you should do this
- flash stock rom nk1 again and root it again
- after root your phone, reboot .and you will see supersu app. open it.then you will see knox bootloader. choose disable bootloader. then now it update binary from supersu. choose normal .dont use twrp/cwm option. reboot again. and now download busybox in play store. after that install the busybox
- then flash recovery.. and then see the instruction of flashing rom in my previous post
note : dont flash deds kernel v2.3e... it will brick your phone... flash deds kernel v2.0
please tell me if it works or not

I opened superu after reboot by it is showing nth in hw to disable bootloader

knox can be find in supersu .. when you already root it.. it will usually appear knox option.
but i doesnt matter .. it will not affect your device... are you already install busybox?. if you already install then see my previous post to flash recovery then flash rom

In certain cases, custom recovery won't stick after reboot. The stock firmware will replace it.
Best procedure is to untick "Auto-reboot" in odin and flash TWRP or Phil'z, then manually reboot directly to recovery.

<I use rom manager to flash my Cwm>
Thats your problem . Dont use rom manager at all .Multiple identical posts on the forum .

TWRP is better than CWM, in my opinion. More custom ROMs seem to be more compatible for some reason with TWRP.
2.8.7 to be on the safe side
