I'm on mj7. I want the cm11 on my phone and was wondering if I could flash a cwm recovery over to my phone, then boot into it and flash cm11? Or do you need root to flash a custom recovery? Thank you for your help

I really wish you would search the forums for this frequently asked question. But at this time there is no custom recovery for your firmware. I would recommend buying an MDK firmware s4 off of Swappa. Other than that you're SOL.

Thank you. I took it for granted that there was a recovery for 4.3

Well I was going to install twrp on my s4 but had a few concerns. 1. Can I uninstall it? 2. If so where is the stock recovery for Verizon s4. Thanks

I heard twrp was not always safe to use is this true

Safer than CWM at the moment.
Don't restore backups yet. If you dont know what you are doing follow instructions.
You can easily brick your phone while in recovery. Be aware of that. Be careful.

I have an mdk rooted s4 meaning that I can flash roms and other stuff like that through a recovery like twrp. I was wondering if there was a flashable zip for the new update , mj7, that is safe to flash and is unrooted. Thanks
Not unless you want to lose custom recovery and lok'd bootloader. A 4.3 rom will come out soon.

The update just came out so give the devs a some more time and you'll get a stock mj7 rom for your lok'd s4.

On my AT&T note I717 I'm running android version 2.3.6. I want to upgrade android 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. I've tied a couple different roms but it fails in the flashing process using CWM recovery any suggestion to why or What I'm doing wrong. I give thanks to everyone in advance for your help.

what version of recovery, meaning there should be a version # 6.0.?.?
or are you getting a status 7? which means your recovery needs to be updated
you have rooted right?
just basic information im asking, but folks need to know
I'm sorry I always forget something when I'm asking a question on here. But yes I am rooted and it says my CWM-RECOVERY version is 5.5.0.4 if I need to update which version would I want or would you suggest going with TWRP? Answer to your other question it is saying (STATUS 7)

6.0.4.3 is the most recent version and you may have to look back a page or so, but in the General forum there is a thread titled CWM 6.0.4.3 touch recovery and there is a flashable file.
TWRP is fine too, but it depends on what else you may flash in the future. the 4.4 roms dont work with TWRP.
there is a TWRP thread also though in Original Development. some had been having problems with latest version, so you may want to go to the last page and read a bit.
but updating your recovery will solve your problem
have fun
id help out a little more, except i am at work and they may frown upon this if they catch me
