Hello, my phone has a rom installed that will not boot up. I use flashify to flash the custom recovery to backup/restore/flash files. Now that I cannot boot up my phone, I cannot use flashify. Odin will not stick TWRP to my phone, and I cannot get adb to recognize my device. I really need some help to get the custom recovery to stick so I can restore my backup. Please help if anyone knows how to fix my problem, thanks in advance!
Nvm, I fixed the problem. For anybody else having the same issues, all you have to do is download the stock firmware and install it through odin. Stock firmware can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27867
Hello,
I am facing weird problem, I am not able to install custom recovery, I have tried almost everything.. nothing helped.
I am still getting stock recovery..I have tried to flash it via Odin, via some apps, unfortunatelly nothing worked.
My Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 is running KK 4.4.2.
Any idea?
Thank you.
I had this problem too. keep flashing cwm recovery through the app (needs root I think). and reboot into recovery, once you get cwm you can flash a custom rom or another recovery like twpr or philz.
s4 i9505 stock KK
I have that problem too. I have stock KK 4.4.2 XXUGNG8 updatet ota. When i try to flash flashable zip file cwm of philz or twpr i get some error like:
E:footer bad
Mds check
Something like that and cant flash it. I tryed with odin but no luck. Does anyone have same problem?
I had this problem to
I fixed it by checking te root options.
If u use a root app, make sure it gives always root acces.
After this, install a custom recovery rom
After that you'll have no problem installing a custom ROM
Good luck.

But my phone is not rooted, its new, with stock recovery, knox 0x0 still....
Have any idea?
Ok, but what if my phone is not rooted, how am I supposed to root it? When I tried CF-Auto-Root my phone started to reboot randomly during the phone call.
I have found one solution, but I am not sure if it works, it says that if you are flashing custom recovery via odin, you have to take out the battery after the flash is done so you won't allow your phone to restart and rewrite the recovery back to stock. Have anyone heard about it?
No, no idea.
Thats crappy.
Only know how I fixed it

Just uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That will fix your problem.
I have tried it, but it didn't help still looking for solution, is there any way how to RENAME RECOVERY RESTORE FILES so I can finally flash custom recovery? (non-rooted phone)
OK, so the solution that worked was simple and I have already mentioned it, you have to take out you battery on samsung galaxy s4 logo, before it reboots.
My solution
Hi I had the same problem too,
I solved it this way: (My phone was rooted)
Download the .zip file from the recovery you want (I used CWM 6.0.4.7)
Next download 'SGS4 flasher' from the playstore.
SGS4 flasher needs root (I think) andyou can flash your recovery through that app.
Next boot into the recovery and you should probably end up in your custom revovery every time now.
If you don't end up in your custom recovery, download ROM manager and then choose the option boot into recovery.
This worked for me at least :laugh:
Hi all, im really hoping someone can help, and that what ive done is reversible.
After rooting I tried installing the alliance rom (lollipop) on my n610f, i got a boot loop so restored the backup rom using CWM without any problems, i read on the alliance rom page that id need a different bootloader and modem, i got what i thought were the correct one and put them on using odin, did a wipe and tried again, same bootloop. Except this time when i restore the backup rom i still have the same boot loop.
If anyone has a fix for this id be eternally grateful.
Fixed it by flashing N910FXXU1B OB4 [Lollipop 5.0.1] bootloader and modem
What did you flash? Modem or bootloader..? I think the best solution is, flash stock firmware via odin, then try again.
I have a yu yureka running on cm11 kitkat stock rom on which i tired to flash twrp. I flashed the right files but now the phone is stuck in bootloop. How do i fix this? I tried searching a lot but the only solution i found was to flash the stock firmware. All the links to download files are broken. Can anyone help me? Im a newbie at this stuff.

Remove battery
Hold volume up
Insert battery
Connect usb cable
Enter fastboot command
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp
Format data and cache
Flash custom ROM
Your method will not work
method will not work. I fixed it after a lot of trying.
Solution: Flash an old version of TWRP(like 2.8). Kitkat doesn't support the newer versions of TWRP. This is why flashing new TWRP doesn't work. Now install the stock ROM of KitKat cm11 and install Stock recovery. UPDATE cm 11 to cm12 using official updates using stock recovery. Now flash new TWRP and it will work. I don't use this site a lot but if you ever see someone askung this then this method will work.
I have tried flashing it with different files but still no result. Flash is successful but still stuck. Tried installing twrp and custom rom but still no result. Apparently it didn't install anything on data folder or anywhere.
Can anyone help me?
hello, maybe you need to download the official firmware with the current binary of your phone, if you know it, and try to reflash
