Yes you need to make sure it is for your model. If not you will brick your device. Carrier doesn't matter. But please realize that US carriers often have their own branded models.

If you go to TWRP's website to download your recovery, when you enter your device in the "get TWRP" box, it will list all of the different versions for different models. For instance, when I enter M8, it lists the three different M8 recovery versions (GSM, Sprint and Verizon)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
A very few devices can use recoveries from a similar device. BUT!!! The recoveries are made for certain devices just as the ROMs are made for certain devices and it is carrier specific, though in a few cases devices are identical but from different carriers and the recoveries and ROMs can be interchanged between those devices but these are special cases. Stick to what is made for your device, the only time alternate recoveries and ROMs are used on a device that it wasn't made for is when nothing exists for your device specifically. For example in my own experience the device I use now is a Straight Talk Galaxy S3 but the recovery and ROMs I have to use are for the Verizon S3, the devices are virtually the exact same device. There are no recoveries or ROMs made specifically for my device, straight talk uses verizons towers so my device is a verizon version for straight talk there is also an ATT version S3 for straight talk. My device is verizon at its core so it can take advantage of the verizon based firmware. Use the stuff for your device and if you can't find anything then only use what has been safely used by other people, don't use anything that has not been confirmed to work on your device.

one more thing , and someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

twrp backups can only be reinstalled by twrp recoveries. and same for CWM. just extra info. :D

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, and you can use backups from older versions of your current recovery, I still use cwm backups on one of my devices that are like 8-10 generations back up, they will restore through virtually any version as long as it is the same type of recovery. Also as ROMs advance in development they require recoveries of a certain version or higher or it won't flash correctly or at all, and pay attention because some ROMs will come with their own recovery that gets flashed with it and you can end up with a different recovery than the one you use, in other words if you are CWM user and you've got a number of CWM backups of different ROMs on your device you could end up flashing a ROM that flashes TWRP with it rendering your CWM backups useless and you'll have to reflash a CWM back to it so you can still use your old backups, its not a problem, its just aggravating to me

Dear memebers.

I recieved a galaxy tab 4 for christmas. I was messsing around and uninstaleld everything. There is no os installed. I have twrp recovery on it. Please help i would be grateful
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you can boot to recovery and if you made a nandroid backup when you installed TWRP then just restore your backup, if you did not make a backup when you installed TWRP and you wiped out your stock os and haven't used a custom ROM on it yet then download a compatible ROM and Gapps for your device and flash those, if you have already previously installed a custom ROM and Gapps and that is what you wiped out then just reflash the ROM and Gapps that you already have.

Hello I have the LG g flex tmob d959 and after I took the swv20s OTA while still being rooted my phone seems to have kept an su file after the update in /system/bin/. This is causing stump root, the only root that is known to work on swv20s not to work because its root check looks in bin and some other place. On this update dload mode was also removed. Is it possible for me to delete that one su file with any software/ adb commands? Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You aren't going to be able to make any changes to your system files without root. Get rooted then you can.

If your device hasn't been patched against the so called android master key then cydiaimpactor might work, if it doesn't work then it won't hurt your device. There's also another exploit cydia tries if the so called master key has been patched on your device. No harm no foul.

Straight talk S3 update from 4.1.2 to 4.4 so I can use chromecast mirroring questions

I've done some research on the matter and I'm pretty sure I can handle the upgrade, I'm rooted right now with Kinguser (unfortunately). what I've read though is that some people that upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.4 can't connect to google play and Im also concerned about any possible carrier issues (straight talk does not update the S3 beyond 4.1.2) do I have anything to be worried about? And I might as well throw this one out there 2, Kinguser ( chinese rooting program) gets picked up as a PUP by avast, I've never had a problem with super user in the past, is KingUser a safe app? These are both questions that I've googled extensively but havn't really found a satasfactory answer.

Plum Coach Plus II D721, can anyone help me root this thing?

Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, the results you are looking for kind of decides which method you use. If you just want to unlock it there's one thing. If you want to switch carriers there is another.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

To answer your question, no, just rooting and using a custom ROM does NOT do what you are looking for, that's why I asked so I could send you the right direction. You had a purpose for asking so I was going to help you with the right way for what you wanted, its not as simple as "Can I use another SIM". For example with my device i have to use ROMs from another carrier and my device wont get data until a SIM is inserted when my device is CDMA 3g and is not supposed to require a SIM but only a certain SIM will program correctly, the process to program it doesn't work on just any SIM. Now I wouldn't suggest anything, ill just let you try whatever you want and potentially screw your device up. Obviously you we're only looking for the answer you wanted instead of the answer that actually exists.

Does this make it any clearer?

You asked about th D621 earlier now the D721, which is it? The screenshot you posted is for the D621.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
No, I don't think you can. You will need to get an unlock code from your carrier, then use a sim from another provider.

You could also go to this site to get an unlock code. The cost is $30, but you can get it for either free or 50% off if you make a video of you unlocking, and post it to YouTube, then send them the link.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

The upgrade won't cause issues with your carrier. With my S3 (and every model I've owned for that matter) I was always on the new versions of Android WAY before my carrier, sometimes by almost three months. The not connecting to Play Store issue I've never heard of.

I don't know if KingUser is a safe app or not. Never used it. But if you have TWRP, CWM, or Mobile Odin, you can get a flashable zip for SuperSU from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]'s official thread. Once you have a custom recovery and super user, KingUser could be uninstalled.

Trying my best!

Hi guys

Having problems getting on in the world due to a problem of my own, recently diagnosed at the age of 48 as adult ADHD. I am running cm12 on nightly on a

D855 and cannot get CM device manager back on it. I removed my previous i9300 and cannot find a way to add another device on CM account. It has always

intrigued me how i can do things that others cannot, yet have the inability to concentrate and take in what i need to most of the time! I struggle on and i

would happily help others if i could, but need to be certain of what I am doing in the first place. From many, many mistakes and costly blunders, i can safely say

that I am now open to questions on the Samsung i9300.

Usually, people just wipe the Dalvik cache from recovery. Do you have a custom recovery installed, or are you on stock recovery? And what is this Dalvik thing you downloaded? Is it a script?
[General Questions and Answers] JonahGrimm:
Here's what happens when I turn my device on.

I turn my device on and it displays the Sumsung S2 logo (because I flashed a kernel that changed it)

It automatically boots into recovery mode and these things are displayed.

"Android system recovery <3e>"

"Enter: OK key. Select: Vol up / Vol dow.

"apply update from sdcard"

"wipe data/factory reset"

"wipe cache partition"

I've tried selecting every option, still nothing. But no, I don't have a custom recovery installed. Maybe it's just different for me since it's a Samsung Galaxy 4.2. . .

As for the Dalvik things I downloaded, it just contained files to what appeared to be an app. Or something you could put onto your device if it were working.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
OK, I read that you can get CWM recovery on your device by flashing a ROM or insecure kernel with support for it. You can definitely clear the Dalvik cache from there. Alternatively, there are scripts which will wipe the Dalvik, when you flash it in recovery. You might be able to do that through "Apply update from sdcard."

Having said all this, I can't even be sure that wiping the Dalvik cache will solve your problem. Can you communicate with a computer via adb? You could also try getting a logcat, then looking for errors to see what's stopping your device from booting properly.

Help with Hyperdrive rom

Do you have the sch-s968c with the H1 baseband or the H2 baseband? If you have the H2 then I suggest you post your method because so far there is no known root method for the H2, so far the H2 has had to be downgraded to the H1 stock firmware to gain root, the H2 has a few upgrades that the H1 doesn't, the H2 firmware is not available for download, a way to root the H2 would give us a way to get a copy of it. If you've rooted the H2 then there are devs that woukd like to get their hands on the H2 to see if there any advantages from the H2 that could be used in the base for making custom ROMs for the sch-s968c instead of having to use stuff from another device, the d2vzw and d2lte ROMs have been the main ROMs that are worth using on this device but they have come to require a SIM to receive working data and even then the stock MMS doesn't work and third party apps have to be used for working MMS unless a Verizon SIM is used specifically then OTA programmed for the correct APNs, this is not convenient because not everyone has a Verizon SIM or can conveniently get one, if you have successfully rooted the H2 then there may be a possible fix for this and you should post what you have done in the "Straight Talk sch-s968c info" thread, the guys there are working on a solution for this issue and you may can add to it.
