Installing a custom recovery on my original SM-A300FU - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello everybody,
in order to do a complete backup of my smartphone, I would like to install a custom recovery on my Samsung Galaxy A3 SM-A300FU.
Up to now it's completely original, I only did the OTA update to ANdroid Lollipop 5.0.2.
Where can I find a tutorial on how to install TWRP or CWM?
Thanks in advance

Theres a tutorial on this section. You just have to flash twrp through odin

The only custom rom is a CM12.1 build.
I am brewing a custom touchwiz rom for myself, and i might share it around if it's good enough.
If you want to challenge yourself though, get TWRP and go through this Deodex Guide so you can customize it yourself.

Thank you guys. Is it safe, or is the Project Still in embryonic stage?

Trying your touchwiz rom would be something I am interested in, I'm using A300FU.

So... Hello Xda, I pretty Much didnt post on my old account and at some point lost access to my email User. it was ages old.
I'm sitting here with my new Note 3, its an Snapdragon one, LTE, N9005, and i updated it manually to 4.4.2 using odin, and now i'm Freaking tired of touch****z (sorry. Don't mind the language.) and well, basically i don't get what to do, do i need to downgrade it? what do i need to install a recovery? how do i get root on stock? I hope that i don't seem rude, i just lost track, and i don't want to brick a seven hundred euro phone, understandable, so if somebody would help me out, I'd be super glad. and again thanks for a still awesome community XDA Members.

You can gain root by following the post above, take note that rooting might trigger your knox counter and void your warranty.
Since you've lost track search and read will be your best option.
So far so good.
Thanks for the Help guys, I managed to do all this and install Philz recovery, but other recoveries wont boot, when i tried to install CM11 through Philz i get Something about an kernel not enforcing, and nothing more but that looping over and over again. Is it even possible to install roms on it?
Any help would be super great

CM11 runs on JB bootloader, install a custom KK rom and you should be fine...

Are there any ASOP Roms on that out?
I Found out that Recoveries also changed, and install a CWM that works with 4.4. I'm pretty fine with it now!
Now i'll just be waiting for asop stuff like the rest of the note3 section. Thanks for the Help everybody!

No CM11 nor AOSP rom for KK bootloader. You're stuck with TW only at this moment

Note 4 N910F custom ROM installing/TWRP install/CWM install etc.

So I received my N910F a while back. After checking my device for any faulty parts that would need warranty, I have now decided to void KNOX and root/install a custom ROM. Especially now that N5 Kyubi is out and dr.ketans ROM is on its way. Anyway, I have a few questions. If possible answer each one in the same order as the questions
Even though I'm sure that you can't root the Note 4 without tripping KNOX, I thought I would ask anyway. Is it possible/any progress done?
Is there any progress with resetting the KNOX counter? Back when I was using my trusty N2, some files were leaked that would reset the KNOX counter on the N3. I'm not sure if there is any progress since then though for any other device actually.
Right now I'm on 5.1.1 on my N910F. It's unbranded, complete stock, no modifications whatsoever. What should I do first and how? (eg. install latest TWRP/CWM with ODIN and then any ROM you want)
Do I have to change my bootloader in order to flash a ROM? (eg. Kyubi Note 5 ROM)
After installing TWRP/CWM are there any restrictions to what ROM I install? For example, not being able to install a KitKat custom ROM on my phone etc. (like i said I'm on latest stock 5.1.1 atm)
Thanks in advance everyone, I want to clear things up in my head a little!
Is it really that difficult for one of the 75 people that viewed this thread to answer my questions? At least point me to a thread where all is explained with many details. I understand that these questions may have already been answered but I couldn't find them with a search.

I would love some replies.
cyanogenmod 12.1 user here. no, you don't need to change your bootloader. to flash cyanogen you need to flash the correct TWRP with odin first then the cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly and gapps (I use opengapps) through TWRP.
the following post should have all the info you need.

To flash a Custom ROM there is no need to root, the only thing you need is to install a custom recovery, TWRP is very good. After you have installed TWRP or any other custom recovery, you have to put on your SD Card the ROM that you want to install, and install it from the custom recovery.

Noob help upgrading from MM to Nougat

Hi,
I'm currently using a custom rom on MM and am looking to move to Nougat however there are so many different posts flying around about how to do this so am a little confused.
Is it as simple as finding a custom rom I want to flash and using TWRP to flash the rom and Bootloader or do I need to use Odin to flash the bootloader and then re-install TWRP and root and then flash the custom rom?
Any step by step guides would be appreciated I am looking to use Super Stock ROM if I can.
Thanks,

Note 4 N910C assistance

After searching around the forums, I understand that i need to be on 5.1.1 to be able to achieve root and custom recovery. Is this true? I am on 6.0.1 and need to get root please ! I apologize if it is posted, but I am having difficulty putting two & two together. Thank you to anyone who helps.

Recovery has nothing to do with your firmware, just flash it using Odin. Then you can root your phone.

I used a chain fire method in a different thread that worked flawlessly. What if I wanted to use custom roms tho? CF seems to only work with stock firmwares......correct?

Custom roms are usually already rooted. Simply flash recovery with Odin (no root needed), then flash the desired Rom.

For custom recovery nd root just download twrp recovery for note 4 910c then after u go to download mode nd flash it thru odin nd download space lemon kernal rooted one nd flash it thru recovery nd ur phone will be rooted brother
Thank you for the guidance, I flashed Lemon kernel and the speed improvement was drastic! However, when I attempt to flash resurrection remix rom from the exynos forum, after analyzing the error message (don't know how to log it) it says it is the incorrect build. Something about trlrexx but mine is trrexx I believe? I can run the whole log again if necessary to help you folks assist me in resolving this issue. But so far, making progress
