I got the update notification today for 4.4, I clicked it and it tried to install but then came up with a message "failed"
My Grouper is running stock 4.3 rooted with supersu and TWRP.
Then I downloaded the flashable 4.4 update but cant boot to recovery, when I power on with vol button, then select recovery is just says "error".
Tried to instal CW Recovery, just get message "error" while installing recovery.
How can I get recovery back?
Will this guide help me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 ?
Somehow I've messed up my recovery and it won't boot anymore. The phone boots up just fine, but not into recovery mode. When I try and go into recovery mode, the blue text "Recovery Booting" shows, sits for about 5-10 seconds, then boots up the regular system (currently the latest cyanogenmod M6 release).
I've tried flashing different recoveries using Odin 3.09 and 1.85, but both of them fail with "Odin Fail (auth)". On the screen it says "odin secure check recovery failed". I've also tried flashing different recoveries through ROM Manager and GooManager, both of which claim they flashed successfully, but still won't boot into recovery. The phone is still rooted, is there any way I can get a working recovery back??
hi,
my S4 i9500 won't boot.
i have tried loading several versions of stock roms, recoveries and non-stock roms.
all stock roms fail in odin, and i get "unsupported dev_type" error on the device.
other non-stock roms install with no error, but the device won't boot after reboot.
finally, out of frustration and recklessness, i guess i used an S4 boot loader fix wihch loaded successfully from odin.
unfoutunatly, after rebooting the device, boot message sais GT-I9505 instead of GT-I9500. turns out it was a 9505 boot loader fix.
is there anything i can do to bring my device back to life??
currently, device won't boot to recovery (blue "recovery booting" on top left corner of screen), won't boot to system, but can enter download mode, and be identified by odin.
update: i also tried flashing stock rom with pit file. in this case i get "secure check fail : pit" error message on the device
thanks!!

if you dont want to be on stock rom then try flashing a custom recovery by odin eg philz touch link here and then just flash it via recovery and you will be able to boot into recovery and then you can just flash a custom rom.
if you dont want to install custom rom do a clean wipe and try flashing the stock rom again
hope it hepled .
Hit thanks if it helped.

Hi mate,
Flash a stock rom with odin , who knows what happen when you flashed the boot fix plus all the custom rom
Easiest way out is flash stock start from beginning

Hi,
I am trying to install open recovery on my note 4 n910c android 5.1.1, using odin and openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-treltexx.img.
Odin says that the flash is successful, but when I try to reboot in recovery mode I obtain the green android and after that the laid down android with 'no command' message to finally ending up in the normal recovery mode.
I have tried several methods to flash it, I even tried to root the phone (I had boot loop and reflashed the stock rom).
Can anyone help.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Did you have the autoreboot option UNCHECKED in Odin when you flashed the recovery? it must be unchecked, the device can not be allowed to reboot into system after flashing. After flashing with the option unchecked and you get the green pass, you have to manually boot the device to recovery with the button method, then you will keep the recovery, if you boot it to any other modes immediately after flashing then it reverts back to stock recovery, it requires booting directly to the recovery immediately after flashing, then it will be retained.
Hi,
Well it make sense, I had the reboot option ticked on. I actually went through another way by flashing the 5.0.1 bootloader which then allowed me to flash the custom recovery.
To be honest I am not sure whether or not I had the reboot option ticked on (my guess would be that it was as it's the default option in Odin).
Anyway, thanks for the tips I hope it will help others.
I recently flashed stock lollipop on Galaxy S4, and then flashed twrp 2.8.6.0 via odin but when I press v.up+home+power a message is shown on the screen - "no command" and it enters the stock recovery menu. so can any on tell me what is going wrong.
