I recently purchased an MDK device and I was wondering if anyone could let me know what recoveries I can flash.
You are now able to install any recovery on the s4! Want TWRP? You can get it. CWM, no problem. Heck, safestrap might even work. And you can flash any s4 ROM you want like the gpe ROM, octorom, cyanogenmod. Have fun with mdk! Still need a device with mdk myself XD.

I don't know if you can answer this, but when you say any TWRP recovery, do you mean ANY? Are all versions of TWRP loki'd? And how do I install a new custom recovery if I already have one? Do I use recovery tools app? And do I have to remove the other one first? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm just not looking to screw anything up on a fresh MDK device.
For TWRP, Just go to the play store and download Goo Manager, and that will install the latest TWRP when you choose to install it. If you need to uninstall a custom recovery, you will need to use odin 3.07 or above and the MDK full wipe .tar file (Im trying to find it for you as of now, will reply when found) and flash the stock mdk firmware so you can use loki/root and install a new recovery and a custom rom.
OK because the device comes with CWM installed. Can I update it through CWM ROM manager? And goomanager is no longer supported as an app. Also, where do I download gapps?
Hey again, found the MDK full wipe tar file. Here it is. http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (SCH-I545)/Stock ROMs/TAR And just so its quicker, here is the loki link for you just so its right here when you get back to stock mdk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 Also, when you use odin, dont forget to put the .tar in the PDA slot (3.07) or the AP slot (3.08 and above) If you need anything else, im usually online so i can help ASAP

I have a no wipe MDK.tar file. What's the difference between full and no wipe? And any ideas for my questions on my last post? Sorry for asking so many. Just don't want to mess anything up.
Full wipe will delete everything, but it will be able to 100% delete any recovery if you dont want, the no wipe will keep data but restore every partition, i think that includes recovery, if you need to keep the data, try the no wipe, and see if recovery is there, if not, you can install CWM from the play store or find a flashable TWRP for odin, depending on preference. And if you want to just keep CWM, i think the CWM app should be able to update it. Also didnt know goomanager wasnt a thing anymore. Havent used a custom recovery in a year or two, stuck with safestrap.

Now can I flash the no wipe or full wipe through CWM? Or just the no wipe? I'm guessing just the no wipe.
I dont believe both can be flashed in CWM, both say to use odin.

I just read through the thread and sensed confusion. Use Odin 3.09 (just google it) to flash (in the AP box) The MDK full Wipe tar.md5, that will set the device to stock MDK, then download either CWM (http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-jfltevzw.img) or TWRP (http://goo.im/devs/s0updev/gooinsideme) and flash one of them with Flashify from the Play Store.
Download the ROM of your choice and place on SD Card and install using your Custom Recovery, use Gapps from here for CM (http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip), here for AOSP (http://highonandroid.com/android-apps/download-android-4-4-4-gapps/) and Touchwiz ROMs should already contain them because they are licenced to.

No odin needed. Just download and flash via flashify.
Also, this is a bit off of the current conversation, but for some reason my Google Apps aren't updating themselves. I don't have the material design Play Store or any of the very recent updates for the Google Apps. Any ideas?

How can I install TWRP on my unrooted Note? and Which is the easiest way to install it?
Searching through the forums I haven't found any specific instructions but if I've read correctly it seems that through ODIN is the easiest way.
Where can I get the latest ODIN for the Note i717?
Could someone be so kind to provide some instructions and links?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You don't need to be rooted to flash a rom or install a recovery. Root is for access to the system files of the rom after it boots and loads.

thanks for this , man..my wife's Note was never rooted, and she wants it done, so I will try this way..
sounds waaaaay too easy though!
I didn't mention that that this method will trip the flash counter
As I don't give one care about what my flash counter says unless I get a hardware defect within my year of ownership I didn't mention that before.
There are ways to reset it so don't even worry about until the day comes where you need to.
And just where do we find the TWRP. tar...... That we flash with Odin.....
All I see is how to Install TWRP using
GOO MANAGER..... And that requires root..
Which the OP doesn't want to do....

flash the CWM tar first, and after you go through all the other steps, and are rooted, download and install TWRP..
Like the above poster said, but skip the root step. So CWR using Odin and occasionally, then TWRP by using CWR, done.
Ok..... So we need the CWR.tar, for Odin...
Any links please?
Then.... We need the TWRP file to put on our SD...
Any link to the TWRP too please?
Thanks for all your help...
In keeping the OP's note un-rooted...
See the super everything thread. The tar file is there. The TWRP zip is in the original development thread.
Hey guys. Thanks for the responses.
I see that some of you are recommending to odin CWR and then use CWR to flash TWRP.
On the TWRP page there is this link to the following page http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/ which has the different TWRP files and there is a TWRP .tar file. File name: openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-quincyatt.img.tar
Can I just odin the above file instead of odin CWR first?
Where can I find the latest ODIN? I've looked for downloads but haven't found it. A link would be much appreciated.
Once again, thanks.

Hi ,
I am currently having 4.1.2 official on my SGH-I777, recently rooted it and have mobile odin lite installed.
Need CWM recovery installed so that i can flash SuperNexus2 rom. So i have downloaded recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-i777.zip file from clockworkmod dot com website . Can i flash it directly from the stock recovery which i have now? or any other safe method you can suggest.
In some thread, there was a mention to flash boot.sys file from other kernel using Mobile odin which will get cwm installed.
If this is the way to go, please suggest a safe Kernal. I am just looking to get a stable daily driver for now, as i dont have an alternate phone.
Thanks in advance
the stock recovery isn't good for much, so no, it won't allow you to directly flash the cwm recovery.
Once you're rooted and have mobile odin (&the odin i777 kernel) installed, you're halfway there.

If i flash boot.img extracted from AJK, will i be able to boot into the stock 4.1.2 which i already have, or should i directly start proceeding with CWM and the new ROM, just want to make sure before i start.
...side note warning... Do not use Rom Manager with the i777. If ya do u could possibly brick ur phone. There is a Stickied thread in this forum warning of this.

I think the nomswap version will allow you to boot to stock 4.1.2, but I can't promise that, I've never tried it. You should prepare as though you won't be able to return once you hit [flash firmware] from Mobile Odin. It's all covered in the guide.

Yes, if you use AJK v4.8 NoSwap you will be able to boot into your 4.1.2 system.
Also, if you are new to the I777, you should know that the recovery, including CWM recovery, is a part of the kernel, and not in a separate partition, so it can not be flashed separately from the kernel.

ok so i know the SACS thread is closed. i was reading on youtube that the reason that V4 was giving people (including me) network problems is because of the baseband. its saying to be on version N900PVPUCNC5. i checked and im on Version N9000PVPUCNAB. im just asking for a little help. i really like sacs. so is there any way to revert to N900PVPUCNC5 so i can make v4 work? any suggestions will help. thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715034 nab is the old version. You are most likely having problems because you need to upgrade (not revert) to nc5. Read through that link then grab the file and flash in Odin. After you Odin to nc5 you will need to reinstall a recovery so make sure you have that file ready. After you install recovery you need to wipe everything including your internal sd and system. Reboot recovery and install sacs rom. Not much to it just sounds like there is a lot.

Been a while tho, not sure all the links are still there.......
grab the mdk version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776189
you dont want to flash anything newer bc you will lose custom recovery.
my recommended procedure: after flashing that tar in odin, boot your phone, dont take any updates, and use towel root to root your phone, flashify to flash twrp, then flash your ROM of choice
ya sorry, definitely wouldn't want to loose custom recovery. i never had that option since i started on NG6. i'm stuck with safestrap!
I looked around for one but was unable to find one. Maybe Twi5sted's stock has the original kernel but encryption fails when I attempt it.

how to make stock recovery flashable?
I do have another question regarding this rom - would you happen to know how I may be able to make the embedded recovery image flashable? TWRP doesn't seem to be working at the moment with regard to decrypting and formatting /data but the stock recovery does. It can come in handy if there is a way to do it via mobile odin possibly or via some other program.

Right now I have stock recovery as I recently reflashed the Rom. At some point however I plan to go back to TWRP.
If I run into encryption problems and need to do a reset, I would like to see if I can flash TWRP using TWRP app while booted in safe mode (if I am able to get that far).
What do you think?

Hey thanks! So I did as you said and flashed the stock recovery from the deodexed rom and it's still TWRP. Strange isn't it? It would make sense if the deodexed ROM came with TWRP but when I initially flashed it I can confirm it was stock android.

Oh wait, I did something very wrong... fixing now...
Yay it worked, thanks a lot
I guess I should keep the stock recovery installed with this thing encrypted because TWRP seems broken (at least version 2.8.7.0). I emailed the developer about it.
Now I'm wondering for added flexibility, how I may be able to flash the stock recovery from MobileOdin. That seems to take .md5 files and not zips. Is this feasible to do?

Well thanks! Maybe you can point me toward the Windows way as I would like to do the same for the stock kernel, xposed, and the tethering addon.
fishinpercolator so are you having trouble with TWRP? What I did in FlashFire was flash the pre-rooted de-odexed ROM (that I linked earlier) then booted that. It was de-odexed and worked fine but boot took about 15 minutes (as it is de-odexed).
In FlashFire you need to hit the + and press Flash ZIP or OTA.
Then I installed FlashFire again (it was erased because I flashed a new ROM) and downloaded the Samsung 5.0 Xposed ZIP and flashed that in FlashFire using Flash ZIP or OTA. Basically since I have Knox 0x0, I use FlashFire as my "recovery" and it might be easier for you than finding a working TWRP image (although I am sure ShinySide is more than eager to help you). Then I installed the Xposed APK and had to reboot before it recognized the Xposed ZIP was installed.
After that, most Xposed modules started working for me.

fishinpercolator so are you having trouble with TWRP? What I did in FlashFire was flash the pre-rooted de-odexed ROM (that I linked earlier) then booted that. It was de-odexed and worked fine but boot took about 15 minutes (as it is de-odexed).

I haven't used flashfire but will look into it. I've already tripped knox a while ago so that's not my prime concern. I want this phone to be encrypted and would like to learn a way to fix on the fly while on vacation (and without a laptop) in the event a catastrophe happens. It seems TWRP may not be removing the crypto footer when I format data as I still get the encryption password prompt.
Seems like flashfire allows you to flash roms from USB? I will need instructions for that.... <pokes around>
::update::
For some reason I thought flashfire was command line driven... I have Mobile Odin and I read that it contains flashfire, something worth looking into.
Is there a way to flash roms using ADB from a usb stick?
(NOTE- I should clarify, is there a way to flash from a command prompt assuming custom recovery is not installed and the phone is soft-bricked).

Well thanks! Maybe you can point me toward the Windows way as I would like to do the same for the stock kernel, xposed, and the tethering addon.
