Are we going to get the 4.4.2 or 4.4.3? Im starting to think its not coming. I do know the developers can bring it but the last time I wanted to try a rom I flashed the twrp.img it screwed up my phone where I had to reflash stock using pit file and stock image. Is there an recovery stable that will let me flash custom ROMs? I like to erase and flash ROMs without keeping stock. I have the Verizon black mist Samsung galaxy s4. What recover do you recommend?

Well... You most likely don't have an MDK S4 or Dev S4 right? In that case SafeStrap can be your recovery and you'll only be able to flash TW ROMs corresponding to whatever build your stock ROM is.

1. Does all stock roms have the same recovery?
2. If so how can I pull a stock recovery and push it over a stock Rom with cwm...
(replace cwm with stock recovery) in order to be able to get otas

In the tar you download from sammobile.com, there is a file called recovery.img. This is the recovery. Just be sure to download the rom suitable for your device. Then you have 2 options:
Put the img in a .tar and flash with odin
OR
Download this file www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0, which originates from this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089&highlight=lorddeff07.
Replace the img with your own and flash with cwm.
I have used it to flash pershoot's recovery to my 7500 and it worked. I don't know whether it will work for stock, or wifi only version, but I see no reason why it shouldn't.
Please report back as to what you tried and if it worked.

Why don't you just wait a day or so for one of our awesome devs to post a rooted OTA after it drops, and then you can just flash it.
But I think the answer to your question is "PDA"...

I feel you m8... But you know as soon as Sammy drops the ICS update the great devs on XDA will pop open the OTA, root it, tweaked it and debloat it. And that will be done most likely in a few hours of the update. And remember if you do the OTA, you most likely will lose root until the devs setup some new root files.
Just saying...

Yeah I know can always flash back via odin an old hc rom re- root re- cwm /wipe factory reset and flash cm9 xD
Just Wish pershoot had a kernel control app to get proper and full control of the tab as I have it in my gnex with cm9 and frankos kernel app

Now I'm running a custom ROM with custom recovery. If I ever want to have back the stock/original recovery, what is the possible way? Or should I just flash stock ROM?
You won't be able to replace the stock recovery by flashing over it or anything. That's something in the kernel. Flashing a stock ROM will give you back the recovery though.

Anyways, thanks for the fast reply. :highfive:
hi all I got my note from someone and notice it has a custom recovery but its not rooted...so can I flash this back to completely stock without a computer? since it his not cwm recoverver but a different one.
Sent From My Rockin Samsung Galaxy Note
If you want to go back to stock and have root it can be done, but you will need CWM or TWRP...what do you have installed. You say you have a custom recovery but you are not rooted.... you dont need to be rooted to put CWM or TWRP on, is it you do not have a computer at all...What ROM is on there now?
I would find a computer it would be your best bet, but below are the tools for the GNote for these forums.

Download a kernel from the original dev section i.e. dagr8's kernel and flash it from your recovery. That should restore your root privileges. Sounds like he just unrooted the phone on a custom ROM for some bizarre reason.

Doesn't matter. If recovery is installed you don't really have a problem. Just follow my instructions and you should have root in 5 minutes.

so I can flash roms and everything the way it is?
Sent From My Rockin Samsung Galaxy Note
Yes, flash away. Read every First Post a couple of times for the installation instructions.
Okay so yesterday I got stuck in a bootloop updating a 4.3 ROM and had to Odin back to stock and root and install recovery all over. I'm just curious before after I rooted the first time I had the unlock icon on boot now it says Samsung galaxy s4 on boot. Root is working fine along with recovery now but that's different. Is this okay? I used the no wipe tar file factory image if that makes a difference. Thanks
Maybe because your still stock rooted and have not flashed a custom rom yet...

Oh know I flashed a ROM as soon as I rooted and installed recovery.
I opened up the gates of hell. First installed international MJ9 ROMs. Then erased my internal after backing up EFS to the internal... derp.
Now I don't have IMEI info. it's NULL.
I am growing tired of reading non-Verizon-GNII topics not helping much to solve this issue.
And for some reason my phone is keep spamming "FACTORY MODE ON"
I wonder if I unroot my phone and upgrade it to OTA 4.4.2 it will fix everything.
Any ideas?
What should I do to go back to stock 4.3 or 4.4.2?
P.S: Got out of Factory Mode.
I would try to odin back to factory for what ever you had prior to this. Don't take the ota or you'll be stuck there. . And if you weren't already on 4.3 don't go it either. Totally different hell if you do, one with locked bootloader and no root access...

I had alliances Rom 4.3 before all this happened.. What do you mean by Odin back to factory?
In the android development section for the vzw note 2 there's a sticky on returning to stock. Follow the path for flashing 4.3 factory image in odin

Ah nice thank you!
Is this actually unrooting my phone? I mean will this lock my bootloader and prevent me from installing custom roms in the future?
Thanks so much for your advise.
Yes it will. That's why u wanna flash whatever u had before. If you had 4.3, flash 4.3. If you had an older image flash it. The thread has everything you need. If you can do 4.1 then you can unlock the bootloader again. If you flash 4.3 you can root but not unlock. If you flash 4.4 you are bone stock no root possibly forever

Sweet... I just installed rooted stock 4.3 by beanstown106 and everything's back to normal.
All thanks to you vlx600d.
I know I asked you this once before but I just want to double check:
- I am able to flash 4.4.2 ROM from my 4.3 ROM without a problem?
- Can I flash 4.3 back from 4.4.2 ROMs?
Thanks so much!
For anyone with my kind of problem, try installing Official Rooted Stock 4.3 and flash the modem via Odin per the instruction in the link.
