How can I get it back? I flashed a md5 stock build to my phone. It boots great, but there is no stock recovery. The reasons for this is I did a full wipe when inside safestrap due to some wifi issues that a custom rom triggered. The md5 file inside there is a boot.img but no recovery.img. So I assume the author was too lazy to include that. So maybe there is a way for me to just flash a recovery.img back into the phone? Oh and since im totally back to stock now im also unrooted.
I have the full flash file, if you would like to go completely back to stock

Did the flash of the file you gave. Works , but the stock recovery failed to get on there. Any ideas?
You need to flash with 3.10.6 and select all of these checkboxes with the .md5 loaded in the CSC box.
Auto-Reboot
Re-Partition
FResetTime
Nand Erase All
Phone Bootloader Update
Phone EFS Clear

my bad ! The recovery actually did get on there. I just found out that safestrap make makes the button thing a bit different. You have to hold down power/VOL UP , then when its saying rebooting into recovery you must let go of the volUP key only. Also you can boot into the recovery by inside safestraps menu. All is good! Thank you so much for that .md5 . Its a life saver !
Your welcome!

Could you give some idea of your system now? You know ROM something besides you tried a factory reset. General answer with no details; use triangle away then Odin stock firmware

That is a little strange. Is your boot loader even unlocked since you're still on stock. If not you should be able to just use the supersu app to unroot

Its unlocked now would that be the reason the stock tar wasnt working before cause it wasnt unlocked before and cant I use twarp to install the stock tar or do I gotta use odin

Being unlocked won't make it fail. Also to relock you will need to use Odin. Can you link the stock image you're using?
By the way don't forget to use triangle away to reset your flash counter before locking out back up.

I recently flashed the latest Hyperdrive ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S4 Device. Everything was perfectly fine until I started getting weird unmounting errors from my SD card. I thought nothing of it as my camera still had access to files on the SD card. But tonight after eating dinner I came up to find my phone on the Samsung Custom screen with the lock icon as if it were booting up. I learned that this was a boot loop. So I instantly tried to do a factory reset and the problem arose when I couldn't access recovery. It would show the text in the top left corner then it would disappear and reboot and get stuck in the same loop. When I plug in the charger it gets stuck on this battery icon but it is frozen.
After hours of searching I downloaded the original verizon rom from stockroms.net. After having trouble with it saying PIT not found I realized that it was the USB port. It successfully flashed the original firmware. It then went back into the boot loop. The video I was watching to do this said this could happen so I tried once again to go into recovery. This time I knew the recovery was even back to default (I was using goo manager) as the text at the top left changed. But it once again rebooted and got stuck in the boot loop not letting me into recovery.
If anyone has anything I can do to fix this, I am all ears. Sorry if this has been answered previously but I have found nothing. Trust me. I have searched.
EDIT: I was able to get into ODIN nothing else. I flashed with ODIN.
Were you flashing the stock rom through recovery? If you werent grab the odin flashable images from the dev section and flash that. Should get you running again.

I flashed with Odin if that is what you mean. I can't get into recovery but I used Odin to flash the original firmware.

After you said u grabbed the stock firmware from stockroms you didnt specify your flashing method I wasnt sure how you were doin it. Your download might be corrupted so I would delete it, redownload it, then verify the md5 is correct, and then try again. Your flashing under pda and not phone right?

How do I verify the md5 is correct? Also, I'm wondering if the problem lies with it being a nowipe version of the rom. Is there anyway to find a rom that WILL wipe? I can't find any around the forum nor on google.
Google md5 checker or md5 verifier. I checked the link but sadly there wasnt an md5 posted for the file. I would still download a verifier tho they come in handy. There is wipe versions in the dev section. I decided to be nice and I grabbed the link for you. Also your flashing under pda and not phone right?

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4. Today I rooted it. It all went fine, but I wanted to install a custom recovery. I followed a tutorial online, which lead me to downloading the Goo manager, and installing TWRP via that. I rebooted, and it went straight into download mode. It would not leave download mode, it continuously loops back to that. I connected it up to Odin, and downloaded the stock firmware to flash. The progress bar came up, loaded for a few minutes. Then, I got a big FAIL message. (Using 3.04). Now, its still in DL mode, but it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Tried flashing the stock firmware again, but keeps failing. Tried different USB ports, but keeps failing. Any suggestions?
Try flashing another recovery via odin

Can't find a tar file flashable via Odin. All I can find is the Loki method, which I cannot do because I'm stuck in DL mode. Waiting on a download of a different stock firmware.
Dont think there is any recoveries flashable via odin. Were you on me7 by chance?

Nope.
Turn your phone all the way off and then use the button combo for odin, decline and it should boot. DoubleCheck your firmware version because what youre describing is what happens when you flash a recovery on me7, which you cant.

Not a problem. Yep youre on the me7 firmware like I thought. Im guessing your trying to flash the mdk firmware thru odin? Me7 wont let you flash anything prior is why youre getting the errors. Youll have to download the me7 odin file (in dev section) and flash again. Once you get your phone booted again you cant flash a custom recovery or else itll do the same again. Theres a few people working on unlocking/bypassing the bootloader so hopefully it wont be much longer until me7 has custom recovery.

Long story short.. I used odin to flash the new mi5 tar and then took the mj4 update. Everything was good but I flashed a mod from old software and got stuck on the splash screen. Now whenever I use Odin it fails except for flashing twrp it works. I pretty much want to start from scratch but not sure how to get to Stock without Odin. Any help would be great! Thanks..

Freeza's 4 in 1 reboot..
i ran into the same problem and haven't been able to get anything to work...the phone won't even go into recovery and i have a firmware upgrade encountered an issue when i turn the phone on...
edit: flashed the cf auto root and twrp in odin then flashed jellybomb...back up and running
I am now on 4.4.2 NC5 and was able to root using CFroot.
However, any recovery I try to install has about the same result: the screen right before recovery bootloops. I must take out the battery, boot into odin and cancel. Then it boots normally.
I even went so far as to use GooManager to install twrp. Same deal.
This also happened on 4.3 MJ4.
I have tried odin 1.86 anf 3.07. I have a feeling it is on the phone, I mean, I can do a hard reset into recovery. Android recovery is there with a android on his back with a red exclamation.
At this point, I am unable to flash anything

I will find odin 3.09 and try that.
I am confused about installing twrp in odin. Do I want the .img file or the .img.tar file?
I always use the tar file and works. Your phone is fine though, just need to get the root and recovery to stick. When all else fails though..rj's one clicks are life savers and at least get you back to stock.

Now that you have all that done...make a backup in twrp..I always make one right after I root and install recovery so if I ever have to go back to the start, I use that instead of having to use the one click method. If you haven't used twrp, I always make a backup of the boot, data, and system and save to the card.
