[Q] newbie question ! customer recovery for 4.4.2?

Hey guys,
I know this is kind of answered in alot of different places but nothing is guiding me to the correct files, just want to be safe and figured this was the best place to make sure i hit the bullseye.
Just updated to poland 4.4.2 kitkat and was looking to install a customer recovery so i could grab the latest version of xnote and a few other goodies. Could someone please guide me to a download section/link for cwm? or maybe twrp? which ever would work easiest

i'm having alot of issues installing this ! loaded using odin PDA.. everything looks fine, phone then restarts and boots normally...odin says pass ! i try to jump into recovery and it's goes to download mode? Could the issue be because i have just updated from 4.3? i also had twrp installed on my phone

Yes reset it with Odin, you have n900 ? try Russian firmware, after successfully reset make a factory reset from recovery, than root and flash custom recovery

would twrp 2.6.3.7 work on 4.4?

Why don't you ask that in the rom thread?

Then perform a full wipe and reinstall rom again.

Try wiping only the cache in recovery to see if this helps.

I have already tried with these two solutions but neither worked. :crying:

Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem? Are you installing anything else other than the ROM that could be causing this issue like a kernel or app?

Yes, the latest bootloader and modem. I've changed ROM but the 'date bug' remains the same.. Solutions?

Is the phone set up to pick up the date and time from the phone carrier?

all my sensors in my s4 not working after update to lollipop

all my sensors in my s4 i9505 not working after update to lollipop plesa any help !!

Maybe perform a factory wipe in recovery?
If factory wipe doesn't work, try flashing a stock rom from sammobile.com.

If none of them work on a stock rom, probably a hardware problem.

Not prob hardware i upgarde to kitkat everything works but I d'ont understand why not working in lollipop and supérieur

Type *#0*# in keypad and select SensorHubTest. If the result is FAIL then something is wrong. Again type *#0*# now select Sensors and check which one is not working.

It's not working any one Look at this screen shots

A3 2016 cannot check for update?!

Recently I checked for sw update on my new a3 2016 phone and it found some new security updates and it went fine with update.After few days I checked again and it found nothing.Last time I successfuly checked was 11.6.2016 and since then I can no longer check for updates.If I touch the option for manually update check nothing happens.I already tried as suggested by google to change another sim or to wipe cache partition but none of them works.I do not want to factory reset.Any other solution to this problem?I also tried to use kies but its not supported!!??
Any help would be appriciated.Thanks in advance.

Are you rooted?
Supersu will block the security update as it will brick your device otherwise.

Not referring to OTA's. I am referring to security policy updates.
Samsung have been pushing these lately which can soft brick a rooted device.

Oh,ok,i didnt know this,then im sorry.

Any solution to this problem I am facing??

But... if you flash stock firmware, u will lose data, too, so make a backup with twrp and put it in your PC/OTG pendrive/SD

I think you can solve this problem wipe data and cache from recovery but you will lost your data! so you can try to flash the last firmware of your stock rom via odin maybe it will solve!
EDIT: i didn't read you answer "i don't woant to reset my phone" so flash your stock rom i don't think it reset the phone just flashing the stock rom!
