Flash zip with Mobile ODIN Pro just with root?

Hello everyone!
Actually I am on stock Android, version 4.3, without root, bootloader onlock, etc. So it's untouched.
Now I would like to flash the following mod:
[MOD][NEXUS 4][4.3 + 4.2.2][DEODEX + ODEX][STOCK ROM] 1% Battery Mod
I want to do it with Mobile ODIN Pro. Before that, I was planing to root my Nexus with the Nexus Root Toolkit.
Do I need to unlock the bootloder as seen in the screenshot? Or is just a root sufficient?

Thank you very much in advance!

Does Mobile Odin even work with the Nexus 4? I was under the impression it mostly for Samsung products.
Why not root, install custom recovery and flash with custom recovery?

I want to get the OTA updates from google. It is not possible with a custom recovery. Is there another away? I just need this one mod.

Take the SystemUI.apk out and manually replace each battery icon in the correct folder.

Do I need a root for it? (noob question)
I read something about a possibility to load into recovery, install things and after a reboot the recovery should be deleted automatically. Or did I get something wrong?

You will need root to get to SystemUI.apk (you might be able to pull with ADB but I'm not 100% sure.
A custom recovery will not delete itself.

You can't replace the ROM installed at time of locking with another or you get a black screen. And I don't think mobile Odin is for nexus 4 being a Samsung program.

You can also use the toolkits to bring up a custom recovery temporarily without actually flashing it, so you can keep your stock recovery.

I rooted it, flashed a custom recovery and installed the mod. If google releases an update, I will flash it manually. No need for OTA Updates.
Thank you very much!

If you have root just download Nextapp SDfix on playstore and follow the instructions.

It is a little harder to find root for my phone but thank you for information.

I have G530H. I root by flashing supersu thru recovery and it works. I dont have the reboot into recovery problem. I also tried mohan root method no reboot into recovery problem.
You can try flashing cwm recovery. If you encounter problems just flash the stock firmware.

you can try flashing the recovery. its just a recovery not like kernel you need to have the specific kernel for your phone variant but if you're afraid of bricking your phone then I suggest not to flash and wait for others opinion.

I guess you are on Marshmallow.
In TWRP 6.0.1 thread you can read this:
NOTE : For some reasons twrp gets replaced back with the stock recovery if we left the device to reboot into system after flashing. To overcome this issue untick the Auto Reboot from the options in Odin and flash the recovery by following the above steps. Now right after flashing is done,power off the device and power it on by holding [ VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER] to enter into the recovery and 'swipe to allow modifications'.

In Odin untick "auto-reboot" before flashing, having the file selected. This will prevent a bug that makes the stock recovery re flash over the custom one..

It's not a bug.
It's an intended feature to ensure that the Recovery partition has a working stock recovery.

Phone possibly soft-bricked, ways to recover without wiping data?

Hey strangers,
Does anyone got any ideas about recovering this phone wihtout wiping it's data? It's supposed to have ADB enabled, but it won't boot to OS.
Video:
I would prefer to get to backup it, but recovery is unacessable and Download mode most likely works but it's not 100% sure.

Haven't yet, but should I be able to just fix the bootloader and it should work? If yes, how should it be done? Backup first though, probably.

Bootloaders in the bootloader and modem threads.

I have flashed the OS fully to the phone, but now it's in a bootloop trying to go to recovery which for some reason does not work neither does flashing TWRP as it stil won't boot to the recovery.
Does anyone happen to have a PIT file for this device?
Exact model: SM-N9005 (International version)

LineageOS update gone wrong

Hi,
Using a Note3 LTE version. 9005. Tried to update with TWRP ver 2.8.7. Did not work. Tried to flash 3.3.0 TWRP image, now phone only goes in these two modes after removing the SD card:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this
The flash was on the SD card. Card removed now. Any ideas how to fix this?

Can you perform fastboot commands?

Wait just flash a rom with odin then go back into bootloader and flash twrp.

How to do that? I'm guessing this is the way. Its been a very long time since I flashed a phone.

This should be new enough.

How do I mark the best answer?
I've installed the LOS, got it working but no gapp apps. So tried to flash TWRP again, but it always boots to the LOS 18 recovery and not TWRP. Now going back to Note3 stock. There must be something I'm doing wrong somewhere.

Before you flash the recovery, untick the Auto Reboot option in ODIN. Then flash the recovery. After flashing in done, reboot your device directly to recovery mode from download mode by pressing Vol up + Power + Home button together. Now you will see the TWRP recovery is booted in your device. Now you can reboot normally and your TWRP will be installed.
