[Q] TWRP recovery for SM-G900L

Hello there,
My new Samsung Galaxy S5 [SM-G900L] just came in.
It wanted to install custom recovery from TWRP so I could make a backup of my Stock Rom and afterwards could install custom Roms, but there doesn't seem to be any support for the G900L.
I'm quite new here, but is it possible someone can help me with this? So that TWRP will aslo provide support to the G900L.
I'm willing to sent al the necessary files. But you'll have to gide me trough it.
Thanks in advance.

Anybody??

Good luck.. i tried looking for anything related to the 900L model but there's barely any support on it.

Thanks, but yeah, that is why I opened this thread. Because I couldn't find anything about my G900L either
And because I'm new I can't post anything in the development section T.T
I hope someone picks this up though.

Yup I fell ya
/Bump for support

SM 900L Support
Another one for 900L support. Got the phone rooted no problem but failed to install CWM or TWRP yesterday so no custom recoveries available . Got a boot loop for my efforts. Hope there is enough love out there for someone to tweak some of the packages for these phones.
Cheers.

Successfully installed TWRP and CyanogeMmod recoveries on my SM-G900L
Sorry for the very long delay. I only got this mobile last month. I am able to install TWRP recovery by using TWRP manager after rooting (Although his device is not supported officially, the recovery image for the international version (SM-G900F) works really fine. I also successfully flash CyanogenMod (both View attachment Snapshot_recovery.tar and View attachment Nigthy_recovery.tar) recovery images using odin.

I have tried many times to use TWRP recovery on G900Lmodel but with no success.
I always end up with "COULD NOT DO NORMAL BOOT".
Also I need one help, I was trying to use this Custom ROM "Insanity S7 edge port", I again get the same message " COULD NOT DO NORMAL BOOT".
Someone told me it's the kernel problem and i have to flash stock kernel after flashing ROM zip. But the thing is I don't have the stock kernel.
Please help.

TWRP for kltelget (SM-G900L) is available here. You can also use the TWRP for klte (SM-G900F). The details are available in my xda thread (latest version is not tested). You can boot most Phoenix kernel (I hope Insanity too) based ROMs by either flashing the stock ROM boot.img or a custom boot.img sited in my another xda thread located here (check second post).

Thank you sunil
I tried the recoveries that you are suggesting, both of them, klte and klteskt from the twrp site.
It seems to work on every other device but mine.
Can't figure what I am doing wrong.

yes i will try them, I hope they work on latest MM.
And yes the device is rooted properly with latest CFautoroot for G900L, I even checked it with Root Checker basic.
Anyways, I don't have any special liking for TWRP, I wanted it to flash stock boot.img to make the Insanity ROM work.
I am ok with CWM recovery, but I was told it could not flash .img file and I am not equipped to make my own flashable zip form boot.img.
But now I am planning to use your modded boot.img for Phoneix based MM custom ROMs. I hope that will work.
Btw thank you so much...I checked both of your threads...They are awesome....you seem to be lone warrior for these Korean variants. Not much support elsewhere.
Really appreciate your efforts!!!!
Keep up the good work.

You're in the wrong device section as well, it's built for the Zoom, & Galaxy Camera 1, & 2.
The code couldn't properly transfer to the Galaxy Core Duos unless you forced it through Odin.
If you did that, and you obtained the files from here then you're stranded in your own boat.
You need to Unbrick via your devices section, & install CWM/TWRP.

Good Work
Awesome thanks !!!
Each one working without problem

I does not work on my K Zoom. Root was no problem.
I tried to flash via Odin und from SD Card. I tried Philz and TWRP 2.8.3.0
After flashing the phone reboots normal.
I tried to flash the stock recovery. But this also does not work. I can not boot in recovery.
I need Help!

It does not work
After uploading TWRP or Philz Recovery - remains stocks recovery (3e)
KOT49H.C115XXU1BNF1
!!! Now it's ok, I had to first upload "Tim_KZoom_KatAutoRootV3.tar.md5" and the second "PhilZ-Recovery-Samsung-Galaxy-K-Zoom".
Greetings to all. Chris

Hello,
First of all, thanks for all the jobs done within this communauty.
I have a new Samsung K Zoom with build KOT49H.C115XXU1BNF1, and I would like to root it due to a limitation that non build in apps cannot write on the SD card (was not the case with my previous S2)
After googling, I found your post that looks like it will answer my needs to root the device.
However, I don't understand what are the goals of all the recovery files listed? Should I use all of them one after the other to simply root the device?
Many thanks in advanced for your help

Hi,
Just root your K zoom with thread from xda.
Then just flash recovery from my thread doesn't matter which you will flash.
Actually everyone has the different taste some likes TWRP some CWM and for thus I was posted 3 recoveries but I suggest you to use TWRP because it's more touch friendly than CWM.

Thanks for your quick answer.
This gives me confidence but before I proceed, I'm going to act as a newbie... with basic questions: what is the purpose of the recovery? Why should it be flashed? Is it part of the rooting process?
I feel sorry to ask all of these, got the feeling these are obvious questions. ..
Thanks in advance !

Newer versions?
Is there anyone who can port newer versions of the mentioned recoveries?

Hey Thank you for the 2.8.3.0 TWRP
last time i was here , i had trouble with the earlier versions restoring my bk-ups so stayed on cwm of timduru`s.
BUT just flashed the TWRP 2.8.30 and SU too and its all ok now , seems to also always to go into recovery now rather than the bug where repeated steps in tims bugged cwm steps . Thank you happy days ..
Ps, this last one ... could do with going in the dedicated kzoom forum that last one

TWRP for Tab 4 8.0 (may or may not be working)
CWM for Tab 4 8.0 (almost definitely working)
Don't try installing the TWRP for SM-T5XX, if it even will let you do so. Bad things will happen. There have even been issues where people with the 10.1 have a malfunctioning recovery because they installed the build for the wrong model, point being it will probably wreak even more havoc on your 8.0. Good luck:good:

Is the one you want, the t331 is a different machine. You did say sm-t330nu? The zip files are for flashing from an existing custom recovery. Flash the one I linked through Odin. Instructions are in the first post of the philz thread.

There was a debloated stock ROM but it had some problems and the Dev removed it. Your better off using titanium backup once you root to freeze the apps you don't want.

Dear guys,
I had updated my kitkat 4.4.2 to lollipop 5.0 but I faced to major problems which are:
1. My screen shoot (Screen write) function works for maybe 3 or 4 times only and then nothing happens when I get out my pen and press it, so I have to restart the device to make it work for more 3 or 4 times!!!
2. I cannot find a good way to root after upgard it to lollipop. :crying: :crying:

1) Hmm... haven't seen that problem before. Try installing some apps from the play store that allow you to screetshot.
2) How did you previously root? I rooted my LG-D415 Android Version 5.0.2 using Kingroot.

Make sure you have done a clean installation of the ROM. By clean installation I mean make a full wipe, from TWRP (a custom recovery), go to Advanced Wipe and select everything except your external SD, in case you have one installed. Then flash the latest Lollipop ROM via Odin. The latest stable LP ROM I found to be OF3, so get that from sammobile.com.
And root can't be more easy. When you are done flashing the stock ROM via Odin just place this zip on your phone, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, reboot to recovery, which will be TWRP (and after flashing the stock ROM you will have to reflash TWRP, cause flashing stock ROM always installs the stock recovery), and just install the zip from there, done.

I failed at flashing new rom for SM-900

I seriously f***** up for the first time while trying to flash a custom rom on my cousin's Note 3 SM-N900. I was able to install TWRP and i proceeded to flash a custom rom directly from within TWRP. I kind of got ahead of myself and proceeded to delete/wipe/erase just about everything on the phone before flashing (dalvik, wipe data, cache etc..) and then i proceeded to Install the custom rom directly within TWRP.
Yes i agree i was careless and ****ed up quite a bit but i was so sure it would not go wrong. But it did. Now the phone only loads the initial 'Samsung SM-N900' boot screen and then goes to black. I can still access TWRP and Download modes at will but i am unable to flash a rom or a stock firmware that will work on the phone. I dont know if i ****ed up the bootloader, modem, kernel, etc, but i reckon i did some pretty good damage.
But the fact i can still access TWRP and Download modes gives me hope that i get right my wrongs with your guidance! Please guys help a poor soul out!

So what did you flash or is it a secret rom ?
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app

I first flashed a ROM called Dilshad ROM v8, then when it did not work, i flashed AURORA rom, then Cyanogenmode 13 for note 3 N900 and finally i tried flashing a random stock firmware i downloaded from sammobile page for N900.

I HAVE READ THE POST + REPLIES!! Though , he said he flashed a random samsung software.. But how should i know if he did it with the tar.md5 or flashed it as a regular zip... I'm just a guy tryin to help, so any extra addition may help so don't just regard that as useless
Since term flashing is mostly used with recovery mode, so did he put it on download mode and BL the offical bootloader and PA/PDA the software that supports the same bootloader?

am unable to flash a rom or a stock firmware
stock firmware i downloaded from sammobile page for N900.

An idea that is maybe a bit risky is to put back the normal (stock) recovery and try to restore update from sd card or something like that... I'm not sure how safe it is so use it as a least resort... I didn't even hear anything like that its just an idea, it may not work... But hope it helps

Hi
I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you

I understood I had to flash PIT file NO NO NO .
You don't flash a PIT file without good reason .
SM900 is EXYNOS not Qualcomm model .
So what phone model do you actually have as this threads question is N900 .

Ok sorry I have 9005.
