Hi, after buying my s7 edge i rooted my device and changed my original recovery to the TWRP recovery.
After a couple of days a firmware update ( 81.74mb) showed up but i cannot install it because i no longer have the original recovery.
Is there a way to install the update with the twrp recovery or can i find somewhere my original recovery or do i have to flash the full firmware inside odin ?
you need to backup your "data" partition with TWRP, then install the last firmware with ODIN and restore the "data" partition...

Yes, Look for a app on the play store called "FlashFire"
This will allow you to flash the whole Firmware package ontop of your Current ROM.
You can overwrite or keep Data, And you can also re-install TWRP from within this app if you update your bootloader.
Very good app and of course you loose nothing.

You dont have to do it via odin.
If your device is rooted, you already have all the power you need.
Look at a app called Flashfire in future.
Thanks Dave. That was an easy solution. At first i was stuck at the (default) recovery after flashing my firmware but i got everything working ok now. Let's hope the update was worth all the trouble

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.
Your STOCK firmware can be downloaded here:

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!
I've flashed via odin the TWRP recovery before I installed the v30 omega rom. 2 days ago I flashed the v31 and now the phone reboots randomly.I've tried to use logcat but i can't find the cause.In safe mode though the phone doesn't reboot So here is the deal:
I'll reflash the v31 since some features were NOT flashed like call button on contacts but i want to update the TWRP to its latest version....how?Through the TWRP manager app?Or flash it through odin?Flashing an updated version on an existing one recovery using odin won't be a problem right?Also,what jfltexx is the codename of my version right?(9505)
Also,a nandroid backup is basically an "image" of the phone right?Like a disk clone operation of acronis in windows....correct?
thanks for your time

So i assume that your question is does flashing TWRP got problem or not?
So you flash the latest version wont be any problem because i did it already
And nandroid backup is a total ROM for your current condition which mean is your OMEGA v31 so when anything goes wrong you
can go back to the start where you made the backup
Hope this will answer your question.

You can flash .tar file through odin or use goo manager
Or you can flash 2.7.0.1 as a zip file through your recovery from here ?

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Note 3 "SM-N9005" with the original stock firmware and I recently updated some of my Android firmware files to 4.4.2 using the official software updater, when I rebooted after the update I have lost my ability to access the Clockworkmod Recovery and I can only access the original phone recovery mode, even-though I still have SuperSU installed and my phone is still rooted.
I have tried re-installing CMW Recovery using both the RomManager and flashing it using Odin, I also tried flashing the "CF auto root" , but all my efforts was of no use.
Please help
Thanks

1. Stock Recovery appears when you flash new Stock ROM.
2. Root access dissapears too when you flash new Stock ROM. SuperSU is only the app for manage the root access that you can download of the Play Store being rooted or no.
3. Dial *#1234# and tell me what appears. You will need reflash the stock Rom maybe.
4. Flash correct CF-Auto-Root then.
5. I recommend u use TWRP or Philz Recovery better than CWM.
I used your CF Auto Root, and now I have root access, so when I dial *#1234# the supersu opens.
Still cant install CNW Recovery, How I could restore my nandroid backup to downgrade the OS if I cant accesses CNW Recovery mode?

You can't downgrade the OS. You can use TWRP that i told u before. Only flash it through ODIN.
I managed to install "PhilZ CNW Recovery" instead. How could I use PhilZ to downgrade the android from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using my nandroid backup from before?
Should I restore thee backup directly, or should I wipe the partitions first?

Read my post #4.
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.

Hi all,
I bricked my phone installing nougat and after i formatted all. Now my phone can start in download mode only or loops on Boot logo.
Ca anyone help me to fix it? How can I find the right OEM firmware?
Thanks.
Hi. What do you mean by formatted all? If you formatted system your os is gone and phone won't boot.
Check updato for firmware fownload and flash with Odin.

From Recovery i clicked on all wipe functions. My phone is empty now. I flashed a PIT file and a bootloader but I got error flashing CSC and other.
Can you help me to find a full backup to restart my phone?
Originally it was brand tim but It'n not important for me.

You got twrp recovery? If you do, you probably wiped system partition too.
You don't need to flash pit, bootloader etc. You can just flash any custom rom to get it booted again.
Otherwise you'll have to download firmware to flash in odin. You probably need one starting with FXXU3 if you was updated to latest MM version, or N.
I wiped all. Can you guide me to download right file?
