This will work on the Verizon G2
So I followed this method and my phone rebooted but nothing happened. I had to power it on my self and it booted to android.
After you've downloaded the recovery IMG file, I assume you grabbed the correct one for your model, open Flashify app, select recovery image on the flash tab, browse to where you saved it and confirm. Job done.
The app should then ask you to reboot and it will boot into twrp.

I did grab the right one but it didnt boot into twrp. It shut off after showing the LG logo for a brief second.
Hmmm not sure to be honest.
It worked perfect for me.
Maybe try deleting the downloaded IMG file and flashify app and reinstalling and try again.

You can't unlock the bootloader. That's the whole reason why we use Loki. Do you have your phone rooted?

Which TWRP are you trying to flash? There's one specific for 12B because the Loki patch had to be updated.

No I don't have a guide. I'll just give you the files you need because I don't feel like typing much. Lol. Flash this with Flashify. Its 2.6.3.3 specifically patched for 12B https://www.dropbox.com/s/meddqewk6muv8p5/twrp.img Then reboot to recovery and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnj9i1lsg8oc1js/Stock-TWRP2.7-VS980.zip I made that one patched for all firmwares since the newest one won't flash on 12B it seems. This should work.

Worked like a charm. thank you so much. Now I just need to find a rom to flash. Does CM11 knock to unlock and lock work? Or does that feature even work with AOSP Roms? Also I see G Flex roms. Do those work with knock on and off?

I recommend Mahdi. It has everything. And is way more stable than CM11. Knock on and off on the lockscreen, and every option you can think of.

Twrp recovery is a way for us to flash stuff into the system or even whole new systems.
If you find and install that on your phone you can then flash SuperSU. I'm sorry I don't have this device yet so I cannot help you more. But I have done similar with two other Samsung phones.

As I understood, TWRP is a root-required application so I guess it would be totally useless to have it while my phone it's sel not rooted.
Wrong.... twrp doesnt require root. Youre flashing it in odin.

Im pretty sure he said. Flash twrp recovery with odin. Theres like some sort of file you flash with odin to get twrp, not with the apk.
Twrp is a recovery.
Samsung uses a pc recovery software called Odin. It is capable of flashing any part of an unlocked device including a recovery partition.
Since the tab 4 did not have a locked boot loader we can flash twrp without root. Once twrp is installed with Odin on the PC you can simply flash su into the device using twrp

For that matter you can "flash" SuperSU with Odin if someone (traditionally chainfire) creates an Odin flashable bin.

If that would work, I think I would try it however, I don't have any experience with this, Could you guide me or send me any guide about it ?

I would be the wrong person to help.
I have not yet received our tab 4 in the mail. I am speaking from experience from other Samsung devices.
I would recommend trying YouTube.

You can use Wanam Xposed module to fake your device status. There are other Xposed modules that also does this. At first I thought this was only a cosmetic information, but it actually tricks the system and the OTA really work. It worked for me.

I am under custom recovery and i believe that the reason OTA update fail even fake the status.
Anyway to revert to stock recovery?
I don't like Kies, but sometimes I have to use it to check if there's an update, and if it finds one, it will install it for you but you have to reroot afterwards. I think this is the only method if you're rooted.
@Andrewtst, I had a Note 3 with custom recovery (CWM), and when I was one firmware behind, Kies prompted me for an update and after I updated it I got the stock recovery back. Don't know if this is the case with the Note 4, will try when there's an update for my Note 4.

Check with 'Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆' app, under 'OS INFO' section.
I found it. And apparently I already have the latest version even though it says there's an update available.
I just purchased the new Galaxy Grand Prime for Straight Talk, and have been unable to find a custom recovery that will work. I think i may have used the wrong one because when i boot into recovery it simply says "recovery" in yellow at the top left corner then shuts off. I'd like to try and flash the stock recovery but haven't been able to find the recovery.img file to do it.
If i take out the battery and replace it, the phone will boot fine, but i fear i may have f'ed up the recovery.img.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have this model and cant find anything on it either!!
Sm s920l root
Just got the same phone at Walmarts Black Friday and have been scouring the Web about root.Just today OneClickRoot posted that it is now able to provide root access. I've downloaded the apk, but am going to wait to see how others fair.
Well, the phone IS rootable. Kingroot apk's v4.5.0 and higher can do it. But I distrust kingroot and used SuperSUme Pro to remove and switch me over to the superior SuperSU.
Sm s920l root with Kingroot
I rooted my last phone (Galaxy Core Prime from ST) with Kingroot and had many problems. Just wondering if you're having any issues.One Click Root claims s920l is root able with their apk,but I didn't have any luck.
I didn't have any issues with kingroot other than trust issues. It did grant me root access to my device. I was however very relieved to get supersu-me pro to remove it and install SuperSU.
Received your reply.
Ended up using the latest Kingroot and have root.Tried using Super Sume, but I lose root until I reinstall Kingroot.Hmmmm.....
I was only able to get super-su me to remove kingroot v4.5.0. 4.5.0 can root this phone, so you can remove root and root with it, then install super-su me and immediately run it. Worked for me.
Since rooting,I can send text,but not receive. Did a factory reset,but still have the same issue.

First i installed the new update Odin Tar Method
Rooted it With ChainFire Root
Used the Super Su Beta
Installed Root Checker
Installed BusyBox
Made sure I had Root
Installed GalxyTools (idoneapps)
And hit Enable Native Hotspot
Rebooted
WALA!
Worked without any issues
I can activate my hotspot, but no internet is provided to the connected device.

FYI people, you don't have to root to enjoy this hotspot mod but you do have to flash twrp recovery. The previous method with dialer code doesn't work anymore with the new MM software. But if you just want a quick and simple solution to achieve permanent unlocked native hotspot then visit my thread in the link above. Make sure you also download the correct version of TWRP and odin flash it first.

Well, this is a Note 4 thread but that's ok lol. Instead of providing you with links I am going to show you how to find this stuff correctly so that you will be able to do it next time. Teaching you how to fish, Im not being difficult lol
*Note: If you don't have the abd or Samsung drivers you will have to download those using an adb tool from xda and kies from Samsung.
From your computer:
1. Google "TWRP.ME". In the upper right hand corner click on devices and select yours. Download the latest and greatest IMG file.
2. Google "Odin xda" and download the latest and greatest of that.
3. Unzip the file. Find and right click Odin and run as administrator. Click the AP slot and load up the TWRP file that was in the zip.
4. Turn your phone off and restart it holding *Volume down +home button+power button* This will take you to "download mode". Plug it in and press volume up.
5. Press start. AS SOON AS IT FINISHES AND TRIES TO REBOOT PULL YOUR BATTERY AND LEAVE IT OUT FOR 30 SECONDS.
6. Restart by pressing *volume up+home+power* this should take you to the TWRP recovery. Perform a backup to external.
Now to root...
1. Google "Chainfire Autoroot". Go to his site and find your model number and download the zip file.
2. Unzip the file. Find and right click Odin and run as administrator. Click the AP slot and load up the CFAutoroot file that was in the zip. (this will take a minute so...)
3. Turn your phone off and restart it holding *Volume down +home button+power button* This will take you to "download mode". Plug it in and press volume up.
4. Wait for the please wait text to go away and click start.
Those steps will root your phone.
Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

Thank you Samatagana for taking the time to post a very thorough instruction on how to flash the phone!

I apologize if this comes off as ignorant, so to get this native hotspot feature on MM....don't you need to be rooted first before flashing the rom from tx_dbs_tx?

Didn't you say you are using a Note 5? This is the Note 4 forum and tx_dbs_tx makes ROMs for the Note 4 which should NOT be flashed on a Note 5. He did make a port of the Note 5 but this should still only be flashed on a Note 4 and NOT a Note 5
Thank you for the clarification.

FYI people, you don't have to root to enjoy this hotspot mod but you do have to flash twrp recovery. The previous method with dialer code doesn't work anymore with the new MM software. But if you just want a quick and simple solution to achieve permanent unlocked native hotspot then visit my thread in the link above. Make sure you also download the correct version of TWRP and odin flash it first.

I tried this by just installing twrp via odin, and then flashing the PD1 hotspot mod. This did not change the APN type settings to append to .dun.
Do I have to install your ROM first, and somehow select "no root" for this to work? I was hoping to not have to root my note 4, but will if that is the only way to regain the hotspot.
Thanks for any help, or clarification on the best way to do this.

I believe after you flash the mod with TWRP, then all you have to do is turn on hotspot and enjoy. No need to mess with APN settings
