[Q] Can i make wipes from Stock recovery?

I have installed this ROM in my defy red lens (not defy+)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285007
But only with "nandroid" backup, so i can downgrade now (to froyo, for example)
My question is... Can i go to stock recovery with this nandroid to make wipes? Will i loose downgrade ability? Will it change BL version to BL6? Will i get bootloop?
Thanks in advance...

Anyone?

You can do wipes from cwm right as long as you intend to be in that ROM. That was just nandroid, nothing will change to your bl versions, you can always go back to stock by installing full sbf.

[Q] Can't enter recovery after root???

Hello
i have rooted my i9505 in odin with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 which went just fine. Then i have downloaded root check and it confirmed that the phone is rooted. After that i have flashed the newest twrp which worked fine by odin. Then i wasn't able to enter recovery so i flashed philz_touch_6.04.0-jfltexx but still can't enter into recovery mode.
I have searched the forums and have figured out that there is such a problem with at&t devices, i am on a normal gsm/4g device from australian stock.
Any ideas what to do to get this fixed? The stock Rom is horribly slow and bloated.
TIA

Flash official stock firmware and start again, please follow the steps correctly that been described in the thread of the recovery you want to use.

You should use 1.85 only for cfautoroot, and 3.09 for the rest (3.09 was made specifically for i9505 and 3.07 for i9500).

FLASH ANY ROM ON 4.3/4.4.2 (all builds) without having to actually root and Deknox

Update: Also works on official 4.4.2 firmware N7100XXUFND3
Hey there..!
Are you tired to make SuperSU working on your deivce?
Are you stuck to root/install custom ROM on your 4.3 Knoxed Device?
Have a look at what I did to flash a custom ROM without actually rooting the device.
Note:
This tutorial is only for those who want to flash a Custom ROM on their device.
Those who want a rooted stock ROM,then this thread is not for you.
Also,there are least chances that you may brick your device while doing this,until you follow the steps correctly.
This is personally tested by me on my GT-N7100(DDUEML4 ROM) but this method is universal and should work on all ROM'S and all variants of GN2 and also GN3 S4 and S3.
For carrier locked devices make sure you have an unlocked bootloader.
Beware, this procedure will trip your knox flag and your warranty will be void.
But as far as I know there is no way of rooting without tripping Knox on ML4 or later ROM's.
What you will need
1. ODIN 3.09/3.07
2. Custom recovery for your device(Philz,TWRP,CWM)
PROCEDURE
1. Firstly download Odin (any version will do but 3.09 is recommended).
2. Download the custom recovery which you want to install on your phone.
3. Open Odin on your computer and load the recovery file(with .tar or .tar.md5 extension) under PDA/AP tab on Odin.
(Make sure you don't mess with any other button on Odin.
Make sure re-partition is unchecked.
Make sure Auto Reboot and F.reset time boxes are checked.)
4. Put your phone into download mode(Volume down+home+power key) and click start on Odin.
In under 10seconds you will see a reset message on Odin.
5.Now,as soon as you see your reset message on Odin hold volume Up+Power+Lock button to boot into recovery.
(If you allow the phone to boot to system normally then the recovery which you just flashed would be overwritten by the stock recovery.
So make sure you don't let it boot to system)
Update: This can also be done by unchecking Auto reboot on odin.
6. Now,once you have booted to the recovery you just flashed,go and take a complete Nandroid backup of your current ROM and also backup your efs partition.
7. Next wipe everything from the recovery i.e /system, /data /dalvikcache /cache /preload.If you have philz recovery just go to wipe data factory reset and select clean and install a new ROM.
Tada..!! Now you have successfully removed Knox from your device and you can flash a custom ROM zip.( DN3 ROM for example)
The above process takes less than half an hour and you're done.
Also,those who want to stay close to stock,you can flash DN3 ROM.
Forget your Knoxed stock ROM and the painstaking rooting of the stock ROM.
Download links not attached here.They can easily be found on Google.

This is a guide mate, a helpful guide but this should be in help section, not here.

Going to try this so are you actually flashing recovery permently or temp when you say it will be overwritten by stock if you let it boot. And which button is the lock button in you key press combination thanks.

Lock = power button
Cwm is permanently because after that you wiped everything in the factory wipe, also your old recovery.

If the rom is pre- rooted you don't have to root it again otherwise it can easily be rooted by flashing cf root t03 with odin3.09.

Tell me your build no. I can figure out the bootloader version from that.
And you can have this app to check your bootloader version.

Why is that? Is it locked in the kernel or so?
I have a c3 bootloader from the larest stock rom , does that mean that I can not flash any rom in this forum?

See you will have wifi issues if you want to use 4.3 based roms but dont want to upgrade your bootloader.
That means if you have DMG1 or older bootloader(4.1.2 bootloader) you will have to flash wifi patch.
Otherwise on MJ5 and later you are fine.

Going to try this method now just downloading DM3 and twrp 2.70 i need to back up efs and make a nandroid backup then set to go will post my results here.
How am i suppose to backup my efs if you don't actually root the device as efs backup requires root? Can i root the latest 4.3 rom eaisly.

4.4.3 coming this week

Time to start prepping for an OTA. Memory serves, you need stock bootloader, remove root, and xposed to be able to take the OTA. Sound right??

Based on the past OTA's....
Yes stock recovery is needed, but you don't need to remove root, xposed can be disabled, you need your bloat on there..
For more, see -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-OTA.html
Oh, and for anyone who had 4.4.2 on their phone, then partially downgraded (i.e. flashed only parts like system.img, etc from an older rom) successfully, taking the OTA now will likely brick you.

I SBF'd to 4.4.2 I'm rooted, have Phil's recovery but no xposed. Unlocked boot loader Dev edition
Based on your post I have two options.
1. SBF the stock recovery and take the update.
2. Wait till the sbf for 4.4.3 to drop and flash that.
Please confirm or let me know if I'm wrong and if there are any other options, do share please.

Great news. I only want slightly better battery life and better camera.

I'm running the soak test right now. Smooth sailing so far. I used rsd lite to flash the sbf file and everything went fine
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk

Will someone release this as something we can flash later or is the only way to get it via OTA? Also, if it is released on here later about how long would it take?

T-Mobile/Unlocked only right now it seems. Which is fine.
AT&T, Verizon and Sprint probably have to wait a bit.

i'm ready. got stock recovery ready to go. just gotta flash my own 4.4.2 dump back on there and i'm good to go

Where can I get the stock recovery from?

Find your carrier and the Android version you want the recover.img file will be in the .zip
Also, does anybody know if a custom kernel (specifically the faux kernel 007) will interfere with an OTA? If so, where can I find the stock 4.4.2 kernel?

So I should just be able to fastboot the recovery even though I'm rooted using the original ROM?

I believe so, but I'm a noob compared to some of the other people here so I wouldn't take my word for it. What I did to update to 4.4.2 was flash the stock recovery via Recovery Tools (now Rashr) and everything worked fine.

Unzip the sbf file and find the boot.IMG. that will be your stock kernel. Flash it with adb.

Thank you for advice JagDave, in this days I try and I let you know. But I have a quick read of the topic and there is some problem with CSC, I have first put the stock rom after do a factory reset and after put the new rom.
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Is not as complicated as it seems. Inside the zip file is a file called options.prop. Simply extract that to the root of either internal or external card and edit the CSC in there. When you open it you'll see what I mean.
Then when you flash the rom it will use that info. If you don't extract or edit the file, the rom will use whatever CSC you are currently using.
PS Don't forget to flash the CP & BL files with Odin, or you will get a boot loop.
