Hi all,
I have a KLTE Galaxy S5 G900i.
I successfully upgraded it to MM, rooted and installed TWRP 3.0.2.2 test2.
Prior to doing this, I made a nandroid backup of the previous Lollipop OS using TWRP 3.0.0.0.
I need to restore this backup temporarily, but when I do, it bootloops.
Do I need to Odin Flash TWRP 3.0.0.0 before restoring the nandroid backup? Do I need to wipe/format any partitions?
Thanks,
Donald.
Any custom roms are still using lollipop bootloader. You can Odin back in the meantime

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure what you mean??
Odin back??
Cyanogenmod are still using lollipop file systems and marshmallows are completely new. There a few carriers are still on the rollout once that's done cyanogen will merge the latest bootloader to their roms. To answer your question you need a stock 5.1.1 from sammobile and flash through Odin and root.

I want to update my i9505 to the latest android 4.3 through Odin but I don't want the new Knox bootloader, could someone please give me any instructions of how I could achieve this? I don't want to install the "custom" stock roms.
*EDIT*: Could someone also give me instructions on how to compile the edited firmware.
I tried to Google it but to no avail.
I shall be grateful to anyone who helps.

In order to remain on your old bootloader you will need to root. Any reason why you don't want to? Root, install a custom recovery then flash the pre rooted rom. They are stock based.

Thank you for your reply, I'm rooted with custom recovery. However I wish to create myself a Odin copy for emergency purposes, I currently have the official MGA firmware update for Odin. I want to create a Odin flash-able firmware update without the new bootloader,
EDIT: After going through the thread all the firmware files include the new know bootloader ;(
As far as I know you can't flash via odin. I suggest you flash the CWM version this has no bootloader. As your already rooted using the knox free cwm version is the safest bet at the moment.

Does the flashable one contain the modem and everything?

No modem, you can install that separately via Odin as we can't flash modems using CWM. It contains stock rom and stock kernel.

Hi guys.
Question... Some custom roms require you to be rooted to then install a recovery to then backup your efs partition. Is this true? I think I've flashed twrp, then backed up everything I wanted too (not rooted) then just flashed a custom rom. All to lost are rooted anyway and the root part as far as I know is in the system. So does it matter if you root before recovery? Or can I just flash twrp, backup efs, then flash say xnote?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, as most custom roms are pre-rooted you can just nandroid backup and EFS and after that flash the rom. You will not be able to restore apps with Titanium Backup as TB requires root. If you have a TB backup on your computer stored you can restore user apps and data after the flash.
Thanks gee2012.
The only benefit to rooting before recovery flash is to use like you said TB to backup your stuff?
It doesn't bear any difference when flashing the recovery does it?
On this, one other thing, there's no known way of flashing twrp without tripping Knox is there?

Nope, all KK roms (i think from MJ4 and up) trip the KNOX warranty void, no workaround so far. TB backsup and restores user apps and data while the nandroid backup does the whole rom (user and system data).
Spose I could backup then restore in the custom rom from TB from nandroid backup couldn't I? TB had that functionality last time I used it I think.
Is the latest version 2.7 of twrp? Or would you recommend CWM at the moment?
Thank again mate, this is all very helpful. Feel like a noob with all this Knox crap, I've been flashing for years but, I always make sure I know what I'm getting into before I do.
Just found out too, if I rooted in 4.3, I could if kept root to 4.4.2 then used mobile Odin to flash roms haha. And kept Knox from tripping... Oh hang on, a custom kernel would probably tripped it anyway...

For me it seems CWM is more stable atm then TWRP. Try Philz Touch CWM or Chenglu CWM and keep the one you like most. Flash the downloaded .tar files with Odin 3.07.
Thanks mate. Oh well, here we go, tripping Knox!! Haha.
Might go for CWM then.
Thanks again.

Make sure to disable Kies in windows task manager before you use Odin, it might interfere and faill the operation and enable usb debugging on the phone and uncheck reactivation lock in security.
Look here to backup and restore EFS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342.
I'm having trouble finding a mod/rom that is compatible with the verizon samsung galaxy note 3, Anyone know what is?
Really don't understand you ? There several roms with galaxy note 3 ..but the question is are you rooted ..do you have safestrap installed ..which version of android are you on 4.3mje / 4.4.2 NC4 ...are you rooted you would get better results with all of that included in your question ...

I've decided to unroot, do i have to do that fix before i install a recovery (Cwm or Twrp)?
From my understanding you have to be rooted to place a recovery on your device (Cwm or Twrp)...

you unroot by flashing the stock Odin file, or using your root method to unroot.
there is no recovery available. safestrap is our wonderfully built recovery alternative due to a locked bootloader on the 900v. do not try and flash cwm or twrp.

ive had the AT&T d800 for a year and a half now. i used ioroot to root the phone, and autorec to have a custom recovery. whenever i try to flash a rom, it always fails without doing anything. i dont want to go through the trouble to revert the phone back to stock jelly bean just so i can flash roms again. how can i flash roms without fully restoring my phone back to jelly bean?
Current Version
Android: 4.4.2 Kitkat
ROM version: Stock D80020k
TWRP: 2.7.0.0
tired of stock always being buggy...
Did you heard of autorec? It restores jellybean bootloader which allows you to flash roms which still uses the old loki method without the need to restore back to antthing else. Btw I also suggest to update recovery. If you do autorec, choose the right version for your model.

Yes just flashed the bumped recovery. If you would ever upgrade to the kk bootloader for some reason like custom lp stock roms then you have to have an bumped recovery else you will get an lg security error

Hi guys,
I flashed Jasmine 5.0 and I have a safestrap backup that I want to access without flashing it. Is there any way to access media off that without flashing it? Is it even possible to flash and 4.4.2 rooted stock ROM from Jasmine 5.0? I've heard a little about virtual ROMS but I don't know much about them. Is it possible to load my backup on a virtual ROM?
Thanks all!

You might be able to access files in the backup using titanium backup.
