How to install twrp or cwm recovery on s4 i545VRWGOF1 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey everyone...!
I have samsung galaxy s4 i545 with the latest version of android 5.0.1 and also it has root access.
I am trying to install the latest twrp or cwm recovery but i cant install.
I used many apps like twrp recovery , flashify etc but when i install the recovery file the message popup something like this "twrp recovery successfully installed fo you like to move up on twrp recovery". Then i press the option yes after reboot it will show the downloading mode. I also tried the loki method but in vain.
So plz help me to install the twrp or cwm recovery so that i will be able to install any rom on my mbl.
Thanks...
And Sorry for my weak english...

The bootloader is locked using knox. Only safestrap used to work. Other then that, there is no recovery options. I don't know if safestrap even works on newest OF1

How can i use safestrap.....?

You cannot

KaosMaster is mistaken.
OF1 does not support safestrap as the flash around method does not function on OF1.
The only ROM you can flash is Stang5lire's ROM, with Flashfire.

What about xposed on of1?

You can get xposed thru flashfire. You have to root using Kingroot(I think for OF1, look through the forums, there are several threads on this). Then get SuperSU(or SuperSUME to get rid of the chinese knockoff and install the real deal if you used kingroot) and then flashfire, get the xposed zips, flash thru xposed, and tada.

[Q] Alternate Way to Install TWRP - SCH-I545

Hello,
I am attempting to flash TWRP 2.6 onto my device, and many attempts have been unsuccessful. Many sources are stating to install the recovery using GooManager, but the service seems to be having issues as of lately, having HTTP 500 errors or downloads not starting.
Seeking the developer's website directly, they state to use either GooManager, or install it using the dd command. Following the instructions, using dd was also unsuccessful, causing my recovery partition to be in-operable, and having to restore to stock recovery.
Having no progress with GooManager after a few days, I attempted to flash ClockworkMod, using both ROM Manager and the Loki method. After installing via ROM manager, this did nothing to the recovery, and Loki stated that aboot does not match the device.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much.
Device: Verizon Galaxy S4; SCH-i545
Build Number: MI1
Rooted via Root de la Vega

Did you try "fastboot flash yourimage.img" in windows?
Edit: forgot you're on ml1 so yes you can only install safe strap

I believe you can only install safestrap (SS) on the MI1 build number and not CWM. Sorry :/

[Q] Just bought a MDK S4 with CWM installed, can I install TWRP?

I just bought an MDK S4 that has CWM installed on it. What do I need to do to install TWRP? Is the process the same as the S3; installing and running GooManager?
You could do that, it never installed the latest twrp recovery for my phone though. I installed the boot.img from the twrp website and used flashify from the play store to install the latest twrp recovery. That worked fine for me.
Use flashify from the play store to install it.

So I just installed Flashify and I click on the newest TWRP and it sits at preparing download and then pops up that something was wrong with the download. Is something up with Flashify?

You might have to flash it via the terminal emulator. Go here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/181 Follow the instructions for "Recovery Image Method" and double and triple check the line you enter into terminal emulator because if you screw it up there is a chance of bricking your device.

safetrap installed on Android 5.0.1 build of1 but does not start the recovery TWRP

Sorry no speak english
my problem is that when press the button continue
does not continue with the recovery and Normally start andriod
installed SuperSU by chainfire (admin root)
Installed Bussybox
Installed Kernel and recovery oc1
**** Xda no uploading images and external links bat luck
Unfortunately safestrap doesn't work on oc1. Stuck with flashfire. Far less reliable than safestrap
Can you say : "Time for a Nexus"? Older models are on sale, you know. N6 quite a bargain right now.

You cannot install TWRP on any S4 except one with the MDK bootloader.
To check use a terminal emulator and type:
Getprop ro.bootloader
If it does not say I545VRUAMDK you can't flash any custom recovery.

Updated TWRP 2.8.7 to TWRP 3.0.2 and lost ability to boot into TWRP

Hello,
I recently used the flash image portion of TWRP 2.8.7.? to update to TWRP 3.0.2 for my jfltevzw I545VRUAMDK phone. After reboot, it wouldn't go into recovery saying "SECURE BOOT: KERNEL" in the upper left and a warning about “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”
I've tried DD'n new supposedly loki'd recoveries directly, with no luck.
Also tried TWRP Manager and ROM Manager.
Also flashed back a copy of 2.8.7 via ODIN.
Any ideas how I can get this unlocked and booting back into TWRP?
I have the exact same issue... What's your selinux status?

If you have a ROM installed, try using flashify to download a older working version of TWRP and once inside it try this zip I made
I have TWRP manager will that work?

I tried that, no luck. I ended up flashing back to stock, re-rooting, re-loki'n and flashed 3.0.2. with no problems.

Question about installing TWRP

I have an already rooted galaxy a105m with magisk installed, however twrp didn't exist for the a10 when I rooted and installed magisk so I still have the stock recovery. How do I go about installing twrp? Preferably I'd like to not have to wipe my phone but If I have to it's ok.
Edit: Welp I'm dumb, all I had to do was dl the twrp img off of the main root guide, download the twrp official app from playstore, and flash.

Hiii I wanted to ask if the twrp official apk worked on your Samsung a10s...As am speaking I have it installed for some time now but it didn't work,it just on loading mode forever.
If you're already rooted you can download the TWRP img I used here (literally copied from the root guide) and flash via the twrp app (or whatever flashing app you want, that's just the one I used). However, if you're not already rooted I definitely suggest you follow the whole guide so you don't make any mistakes/mess anything up here.
