Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 ATT I337UCUAMDL
Model Number in settings on 4.4 ROM = GT-I9505G
As the title says, I installed dandroid's newest 4.4 ROM from WICKED v5 4.2.2 and lost root. So I attempted to update my CWM Recovery from Odus 1x to the newest using Odin which failed do to write protected I suppose all though others says that doesnt effect their installs.
Where I'm at:
Cannot boot into recovery, says booting recovery the just reboots and enters Dandroid's ROM w/o root.
I'm now lost and have been reading the forums for hours. Currently downloading STOCK Samsung firmware for my device I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT.zip
CASUAL failed.
What do I need to do to get back to WORKING custom recovery w/ rooted dandriod 4.4 kitkat rom. Should I use Odin and flash stock rom then motochopper to root and try to reinstall working CWM recovery?
Please advise best course of action. My phone had been working properly with every ROM I tried before update to 4.4 ROM and attempted CWM recovery update (thinking that would fix my root issue). Thanks all!
If you have a nandroid, and I hope you do, just restore that in your custom recovery. If you don't, then you're going to have to return to stock with odin
Tried motochopper on the phone as it sits and it fails as well.
I have a stock backup but the problem is I no longer have access to any recovery. Guess I'm just gonna have to flash the stock firmware with Odin when its finished downloading and start over.
Just finished Odin flash back to samsung factory firmware. Phone stuck at att world logo on bootup, still can't access recovery. Any ideas?

If you flashed Odin successfully you can get into recovery.
Finally got into recovery it rebooted 3 times but just holding the req. buttons finally got me in.
Back on factory firmware and rooted w/ cwm recovery all back in place properly worrking.
I would like to use the Dandroid 4.4 ROM with this device. When I install am I going to lose root again and if so, how I do I get it back on this device since the model in the settings is going to change from I337 to I9505G after installing this ROM?
Figured it all out last night, re-flashed Dandroid's latest ROM which still caused me to loose root, then flashed SuperSU 1.51 instead of 1.80 and regained root. All is right in the world now.

Hey, if you dont mind me asking where did you get the 1.51 zip to flash? I'm having a similar issues with same ROM where i lost root but have recovery access.
Thanks
Update: Found the file. Flashed it. Root is back. Have you let market update it automatically? If so did you lose root afterwords?
have rooted s5 on 4.4.4 nk2. Have been trying to install custom roms via safestrap. Apparently i am missing a step. I wipe data, try to install twi5ted Lollipop on custom rom slot....blank screen for over 30 min after reboot, phone gets real hot, take battery out. Try to install on stock rom slot, reboot then get stuck in boot loop and keeps booting into system recovery. I then saw through my hours of searching to format instead of wipe....so i format then try to install, get stuck again, take battery out, get back to safestrap dash now when i try to wipe/format/or even restore my backup it says unable to mount system. When i click reboot system it says no OS installed. After reboot, my custom slot gets erased.
I was about to try an odin flash back to stock but some how was able to get my phone back to a system restore. Why can i not get anything installed? Do i have to have odin to do a custom rom install?????? i know every rom is different but wtf. I have seen multiple videos and threads of people flashing zip via safestrap and rebooting into new rom without flashing kernals via odin or safestrap after rom install.
Also...my phone will not let me download zip files (ex. cm12.1) says unable to create download folder....how close to F'in my phone up am i? I have successfully rooted all phones in the past...s5 is giving me hell!
I just tried installing rom after format, then flash nk2 kernel from odin, still gives boot loop....ive tried everything i have found..never this much problem with custom rom..
When you try to install twisted it needs lollipop firmware which is flashed on odin, and based on your statement it says you're on NK2, a kitkat firmware. Try flashing a stock ncg tar and rerouting, downloading apps, etc. on the phone to see if that works. Also, I noticed you mentioned a cm 12.1 zip not downloading which, while unrelated to your current problem, will cause a bootloop when flashed due to the locked bootloader on the S5, so it isn't a smart idea to even attempt an install.

thanks, i will try fresh from start ncg. so you have to be on the current kernel that you are flashing a rom for, whether its CM, Twi5ted, Alliance...etc i need to be on rooted 5.0 kernel then flash rom via safestrap?
i was having problems downloading from internet on phone, not downloading rom if thats what you thought i meant. I just tried installing zip for CM 12 via safestrap and got same issue. Phone reboots, goes to black screen and eventually heats up like crazy. .... I just noticed, after my restore ...again... it says safestrap disabled in red on the boot screen, why is that? it says installed and tried reinstalling.
FIXED
So i flashed ncg from odin on the messed up phone and got messed up worse. Ended up getting stuck on first boot image of samsung android s5 boot screen. Finally found original stock firmare file and used odin to complete install stock os and got rid of root. Now back to normal... luckily i figured it out my self! thanks to the 100's who viewed and didnt help and thanks to mrjiggywiggy for giving me some input to help out!
With my g2 and a custom rom installed i wanted to do a clean install and go back to stock lollipop.
When i tried to use lg flash tool to install the kdz file it could find my phone but stop everytime at 2% and i noticed that when i used the download mode it would just show for few second and then change the screen in firmware update. So i found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/fix-lg-flash-tool-stuck-2-t3031112
This solved my problem using the twrp.
So i restarted the phone in download mode and this time it doesnt change, it stayed in the download mode screen, i installed the new lollipop rom and all good.
After that with my new stock rom i tried to root the phone with the one click root but when it automatically reboot to download mode to install the root it happened again the same problem, changed to firmware update screen and the root failed. Now i cannot use the same fix as before because i dont have the twrp installed. I cannot find a way to root my phone and i dont know if stumproot can work with lollipop. Hope someone help me to root this phone. Thanks. Sry for my english.
Finally with this guide i figure it out: http://www.xdathai.com/2015/09/how-to-solve-problem-from-stuck-on.html
It worked from the firware update screen.
First i tried the auto install of root and twrp and then i followed the guide.
hello. i tried delete knox which can install twrp. when i rooted phone with odin says pass and i turn phone, but in super su i didnt see messages knox detected would you like to remove? hmm thats weird. now i thinked to get back of stock rom. so i flashed via odin stock rom. now i see in device status- MODIFIED BUT not ,,Official" why show when i reflash stock rom via Odin? in the download mode i see system binary : CUSTOM and system status not official. my phone can damage? i dont installing root apps, because my phone doesnt rooted. :silly: :good: example - dont charge, turn on, enter in recovery menu, or download mode..... HELP ME..... i worried about it!!!!!!!
ignoring ???????????????????????
Ok
What's the issue I don't understand?
did you lose root?
So heres this situation,
I have a SM-G930V
It has busybox
I believe that it has xposed still
but the phone when checking for root says its no longer rooted.
I had rooted it previously and it had the latest software available. I followed the guide here on XDA where it then shows you how to install xposed and use flashfire.
I had tried to factory reset my phone and ended up removing the root and supersu.
I have tried just to unroot my phone through the normal processes in Odin. I have used Prince and the normal one. I have tried Home and the regular CSZ.
I am currently downloading the latest firmware from SamMobile. I was just want to if I needed to do something else to make it back to functioning condition. It seems to not let me boot in recovery mode. At this point I want to unroot it and click the lock back together on the loading screen if thats possible.
