I need Held S4 i9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I flashed a gpe 5.1 Rom for my i9505.
But after flashing it I lost my TWRP Recovery and the Rom was not rooted. Now how can I root it again? And the rom is usually for i9505G but i works very well on my i9505, but the problem no root and no recovery anymore.

Are you able to reflash twrp using Odin and then flash supersu from twrp?

Can i use a twrp recovery for my s4 i9505? And it doesn't matter on which rom i am?

Find the version of twrp here that can be flashed via Odin: https://twrp.me/Devices/
Doesn't matter which rom you are using unless it is cm13 which is pre-rooted.

when the s4 is on it will be detected with no problem, but in download mode it wont be detected. i hate this rom so much

Did you download a stock GPE rom or one from the forum here?
As the stock GPE roms are the same as Samsung stock roms. Meaning that you lose root and custom recovery.
Anyway, have you tried installing SuperSU from the play store.
You can flash a recovery using flashify. But I guess this needs root. You also need the recovery.img to work.

cwm is the best for 505 try it it will be efficated

In need of assistance with 4.3 root

Hey there, I've recently made the purchase of a samsung galaxy S4 1337m
Once i got it home, the first thing i did was root it via Chainfires Root, and downloaded
rom manager, and installed CWM, and backed up my original OS with the original root
to a SD Card, once i did that I installed Odexed Andriod 4.3 for US and CAN, when i discovered
there was Chainsfire root guide for this version in particular, i tried to install it, what i did was attempt
to flash the latest root onto 4.3 via oden, after which i would flash the modded software to work for 4.3
however, in the process i ended up losing CWM, and the root all together, so i was wondering if anyone
was willing to lend me a hand getting the root onto my 4.3, so i can get my CWM back on.
Thanks!

I haven't used 4.3 but from what I've read I believe you just flash the .zip chainfire provided from recovery.
So now you will have to ODIN back to stock if you lost your recovery, re-root, install recovery (recommend TWRP instead), re-flash 4.3, flash the .zip provided from chainfire in his post here:

Do you know whether or not I'm able to re-flash with oden using the recovery created by CWM?
Or do i need to download the stock rom for my phone, which i imagine I would do a factory wipe
then boot into download mode then flash the stock rom?

The backup created from CWM should be a .zip that is flash-able only from recovery afaik. You will need your stock firmware .tar file and flash with ODIN. This is only if you surely cannot boot into recovery. If you manage to boot to CWM you can flash your backup of course.

I currently did a factory wipe on my device, and flashed using odin with my stock
rom, things are looking good thus far, will keep posted if anything goes not as planned!

To flash a flashable .zip file you need a Custom Recovery like TWRP. So,
1. Root your phone with IORoot25. - This will give you root.
2. Download and run AutoRec on your phone. - This will downgrade your bootloader to JB and install TWRP.
3. Boot into Recovery Mode (TWRP) and flash your modem.zip. - This will give you a new modem.
Remember to back up your modem before flashing a new one.
Thank you so much.

How do I backup the stock recovery for Note 3 SM 9005?

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.
Android System Recovery <3e>: LRX21V.N9005DXUGBOD1
rom try sammobile or samsung- updates .
never ever heard of a backed up recovery .

I don't have a custom rom on my phone. I think I just used TWRP to root it (it was a while back so I can't remember).

[n900]stock rom 5.0-cwm needed[help]

I am pretty new to android and I need help, Thanks.
I have unrooted note 3 exynos[N900] running on stock rom 5.0 lollipop but I want to flash a custom rom for which I need a CWM recovery but all the CWM recoveries for my device are available for Kitkat[4.4] and I am not sure will flashing the same recovery on my stock 5.0 is gonna work or not (and I don't wanna brick my device ). It will be of great help if someone helps me out finding a suitable CWM recovery. Thanks again
The recovery that needs to be installed on a phone needs to support the ROM that needs to be flashed.
That being said, an incompatible recovery will result in an error when flashing an incompatible ROM. Most note3 users are using TWRP to flash a custom ROM and make nandroid backups.
I recommend looking at the TWRP website (https://twrp.me/Devices/) and flash the latest release for the phone.

Sir, all the TWRP recoveries are originally for kk .. will flashing the same on stock 5.0 work ??
The recovery is flashed according to the device, not the installed rom. The latest twrp should be fine with 5.0.
Thanks (Y)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079 can you please say if it's okay to flash this cwm recovery... I am a bit doubtful since the recovery filename has "kk" as a substring (kitkat) in it.
I believe 6.0.4.7 is the last version of cwm released for the device. If you want to get the latest for your device, check out https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
