Title says it all really, trying to learn but i have checked a million sites and haven't found a direct question of this. I used odin to flash a stock firmware and i'm now having a bit of lag, just wondering if i should install from cwm recovery or is it the same thing done differently? cheers.
No difference. .may be placebo effwct bro...try wanam lite rom.flash it thru recovery. .ur fone will fly..
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Flashing via Odin and Recovery is the same
Cheers guys. Was watching some old videos of people installing custom roms and they had files for PIT, Bootloader, i was under the impression only needed the rom selected under PDA unless otherwise specified? Will give that rom a go, can't be any worse than what i'm using currently! lol.

Boot into Download Mode and open Odin 3.04, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked and extract the ROM and you'll get a MD5 file, place that in PDA and start flashing
Sorry if this is a simple question; What I want to know is, do I have to use some recovery mod and flash from the SD card, or can I simply flash custom ROMs from odin 3.09, the same as I did for my stock rom?
Specifically Imperium ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706844&nocache=1
Many thanks.

You always need a custom recovery to flash roms from either your internal or external sd card
I'd suggest philz recovery just flash the .tar file from here in odin then enter recovery & flash away
Not sure if you have rooted your phone as yet if not follow this link first
Okay, I never used a custom recovery when flashing the stock rom.?
I can't just download and flash the rom in Odin from my pc then?

No bud you can't :crying:
You aren't flashing a stock rom it's a custom rom hence the custom recovery ?
Darn, and I thought it was all so easy!
Okay, I need to start looking how to put a custom recovery on then.
I have rooted it using Odin already yeah

Yeah just flash it in pda then flash rom from philz recovery then it's done just setup required
You won't need odin again unless you want to return to stock (which I doubt).
P.s you should like the imperium rom you've been lookin at

Thanks, its between that one and Purified with Domination theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454205). Not sure which to go for yet, it'll be down to style/reliability/stability/speed.
What I meant was, I can't flash the recovery in odin, then flash the new rom in odin too?

No just flash recovery in odin & then just use recovery (power/volume up) to flash rom. No need for odin again
Hello,
I am looking for the stock recovery for the i9515.
Or can I just use the i9505 stock recovery for it?
Thanks in advance!

I would only ever use the suggested recovery options, NEVER use a different model in your phone.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Click that link, type in the "Find device" search box and input GT-i9515 and you actually get a lot of stock roms. Because it's from Samsung it is all official. You will need to find Odin 3.09 and a helpful guide to aid in the procedure, all current information will be lost on your device and will bring it back to stock (except perhaps the flash counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away)
As always, do as much research as you can before going ahead with any potentially dangerous changes!
Good luck

I actually did use a CWM recovery option that wasn't specifically for the i9515 but for the 9500 or the 9505. I do not remember which one of both of these I did use though and I do not want to take that risk again.
So this will also reset my ROM and wipe all data? That is not what I am looking for unfortunately. I am looking for solely the stock recovery menu. Everything else should stay as it is. Isn't that possible?

As far as I'm aware the only solution to remove the Custom Recoveries is to flash stock firmware via Odin, I could be wrong but I've never heard of it.
Sorry I can't help further, best of luck with your predicament.

No it will not wipe your device. Just pick the stock rom that is for your device.

Just flash the stock rom
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
I can't flash the stock rom because I want to keep a modified rom and yet still have the stock recovery.
If you care why: Cerberus anti-theft rom.
So I need a way to keep everything but the recovery. That one has to go back to stock so no thiefs suspect custom roms when doing a hard reset and seeing CWM Recovery.
Bump
Bump,
no one got an idea?
Well then just download the official firmware and extract recovery.img. Then flash it using terminal or heimdall.

Oh I did not know files inside the firmware files were seperated.
Why Terminal or Heimdall and not Odin?
Edit: Can't find a file for recovery in firmware from here: www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

I gotta be really stupid or I am overseeing something.
I got the whole 1,6gb firmware.
It has this file in it: "I9515XXU1ANI2_I9515VFG1ANI1_I9515XXU1ANI2_HOME.tar.md5" I tried changing the .md5 to .zip but it only showed me a few files inside it then that did not include a recovery file. Emulating the .md5 file with daemon tools didn't work either.
I don't know how to find the recovery file in it.

Hi
Rename your .md5 firmware in .tar, then open it with winrar, and extract the kernel called "boot.img".
Then flash it with "mobile odin" in your phone.
Hey,
thanks for your help, but there is also a recovery.img. I guess I will flash that one and not the boot.img one if I want to have the stock Recovery, shouldn't I?

correct.
Alright then, wish me luck, I will try it this evening.
Edit: already did it quickly. Worked perfect! Now I have the stock Recovery back and just the Cerberus ROM installed. Perfect. May these thieves come if they dare... They won't realize at all that there is something integrated in this ROM.
I used RashR by the way.

Also just for knowledge..boot.img has the kernel

Does anyone have a link to the stock firmware for the t-550? I just picked up this tablet, upgraded to mashmallow,had twrp installed thru odin. Then I wasnt paying attention, never made a backup, then installed the deoxed rom from ashyx, it wouldn't boot up. I tried the firmware thru sammobile, when I tried to install it, and it said it couldn't find the meta-inf file, I can get to odin mode, and twrp, but I can not find a link to a firmware I can get to load. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Install with ODIN not TWRP.
Thanks, what box do I need have check, do I add it in the AP slot, like the twrp?

Was actually referring to the stock firmware.
The deodexed rom needs to be installed via twrp and you would need to be running the same firmware base.
Hey everyone,
Apologise for asking this question ! As it has been covered before from my research but not exactly and I am still quite confused so I'd greatly appreciate some insight from you guys.
Basically I have a stock i9505 which has gone into bootloop, it is not rooted and not modded in any way.
I've tried to enter recovery mode and wipe cache partition but it did not work, so I can do a factory reset, but a factory reset with stock recovery will wipe all of my data off my internal SD card.
I have downloaded odin but there a few different opinions as to what I should be doing, some threads say I should install CWM and run ADB to fetch the files. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498228&page=2)
Another opinion is that I should use Odin to flash a stock rom
"Install a stock ROM through Odin, as Odin doesn't wipe user data when a ROM is installed. If you want to play it safe however, install TWRP first and make a nandroid backup onto your MicroSD card. Then install the stock ROM."
(From this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/recover-data-soft-bricked-s4-i9505-t3236351)
Would someone be able to point me toward the correct process for recovering my files? I will appreciate it immensely.
Thanks very much!

It is the UK unlocked LTE version. I think the version number currently on the phone is i9505xxuhoj2 . However every place I have tried to DL from is one of those sites where you must sign up or it gives you an impractically low speed (sporadic connection means it cuts off the download quite quickly).
Thanks very much.
