I was trying to download TWRP so I could install Xposed framework and it went into Secure FAil: Recovery, where it just looped an error. I used Odin, verizon firmware, and a PIt file (from a guide on this forum) and it's back to right before I rooted it today. I rooted it again, but I don't know what to do...
Just rooted today with droidyemen's 1 click lollipop root. It worked. I installed SuperSU, titanium back up. This is everything I know about rooting. Someone did it for me before on my old Note 3, so I'm learning everything as I go. Sooo much info. I don't know what supersu or titanium does, but I know I needed it.
Verizon phones are locked out by bootloader. No chance for any TWRP or AOSP ROM for you I fear

Hi everyone,
I rooted my phone so I have towelroot, SuperSU, TWRP Manager, Goomanager and Root Checker Basic installed now.
Root Checker reports that my phone is rooted.
I tried to install TWRP Recovery in multiple ways buy it all failed. Here what I tried:
1) Downloaded tar version and using ODIN3 attempted to install it.
2) Using TWRP Manager, found latest compatible version (2.8.7.jflteatt) then it said ensure partition listed below is correct one and entry was "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" when I click yes it showed flashing and verifying then it gave an error saying "something is wrong. flashing recovery is unsuccessful."
3) Using Goomanager I attempted to install it but it cannot find a proper version to install at all.
I want to install Google Edition of Lollipop on my phone. How do I achieve at this point?
No Idea?
Nobody has any idea??
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only compatible recovery with the S4 is Safestrap?

I don't know at all. I thought TWRP was available...
It is in a way. Because the bootloader is locked on the S4, you can't use TWRP, but Safestrap is available to use. Essentially it's TWRP, but modded to work on the S4's locked bootloader. It currently doesn't work for OC3 (Lollipop), but it works for JB and KK.
I would say to look at this thread to help you a little more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
I'm still new to working with the S4 so I don't want to tell you the wrong thing
That was already a lot! Thank you much! I Rooted now I cannot factory format it or install any rom to clean it up...
Thank you!

I rooted through kingroot and when my phone turns off and I try to boot it back up I get kernel is not seandroid enforcing and then I get a message telling me to take it to cricket and they'll fix it, well I factory restored it but how can I prevent that and still have it rooted? I tried rooting 2 times and had to factory reset it each time. Is there anyway around this?

What version of firmware are you, I can't get king root to work
Do you have twrp? You can get root with supersu flashable zip via twrp
I have searched all over the web and this site for a tutorial or how to on rooting my S5 with the stock Marshmallow update. Most of the how to's are all outdated and I don't want to run into crashing my phone again by using anything outdated. I tried installing TWRP recovery or flashing it with ODIN and it didn't work. I had lollipop rooted before so I know I'm capable if I'm linked to the right tools. The way I did the Lollipop root was with TWRP and SuperSU but as I said before I couldn't get the recovery installed properly. It said pass in Odin but I got a bootloop and unstable phone so I prefer if someone knows the right tools and how to please clue me in.
Hey guys,
So yesterday i had a NIGHTMARE.
I had a note 4 running on 5.0.1 which was rooted with CF Auto Root. I decided i wanted to install TWRP. I flashed it with odin using the version i thought would be correct. But ended up NOT being able to boot my phone and being stuck on the Samsung Logo screen with the SEANDROID red error message.
I tried everything and eventually just downloaded the STOCK 5.0.1 rom and flashed it with Odin and my phone was back to normal.
I now need to Re-root my phone again and hopefully get twrp installed.
My main question is which version of TWRP should i use?
Also when i look at the CF Auto Root page, i see for the SM-910U they seem to only have a file for 5.1.1. So does that mean i should update from 5.0.1 - 5.1.1. first before rooting?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Yes, you should update.
Look for twrp at xda. There are threads about twrp for note4
Hello!
I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask, but I haven't found a section for a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active!
I am a complete newbie and haven't flashed to my phone since I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 back in 2018. In this case, I'm trying to find a root and install twrp recovery, so I can install lineageOS on my phone. The stock rom is so laggy!
My phone's recovery won't let me just install lineageOS, so I have to install a custom recovery.
So far, all the one-click roots haven't worked. Towelroot, kingsroot, oneclickroot, all failed.
The official twrp recovery didn't work either and did not give me a compatible rom.
I tried to locate an unofficial twrp recovery compatible with my device, and I think I found one. The issue is that it odin does not flash a .img file.
I'm going to try this method of downgrading the stock rom.
EDIT: Doing this gives me a SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
Trying this now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-g870a-downgrade-s5-active-mm6-0-lp5-0.3523683/
EDIT: unsuccessful. Soft brick of OS; need to flash again or try something else...I tried to leave the phone out all night, but it never got past boot screen.
EDIT2: tired again and somewhat successful. Samsung boot screen is different and so is the boot recovery! The darn phone still won't boot though!!
EDIT3: Had to reboot the phone 3 times and got the android is upgrading screen...YAY!! But, the system process.media fails randomly.
Any tips? If I could just get twrp on, that would fix everything! Thank you!!
Found a supposedly compatible twrp here: https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.5.2_9-0-klte.img.tar.html
Issue is odin fails when flashing...I am getting the auth error!!

Hi, I am also looking to put LineageOS on my device as well.
The most I have found so far is the S5 Active (SM-G870A) has an OEM locked bootloader, and without unlocking it a custom recovery is not available.
AT&T, nor Samsung have provided any way to unlock the bootloader as far as I know, and I'm not sure if any developers are still working to crack it.
