If ive got an earlier version of this recovery already running, do i just flash the current version over it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] igotroot:
Anyone can flash a new recovery at will, as far as I know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gandalf:
True. Flashing a recovery doesnt "update" the existing recocery, it wipes out the recovery partition and replaces it with the new recovery file. So you can flash any (COMPATIBLE) recovery to your device and not have conflicts due to the previous one. Same goes for radios.

Now if the new recovery you flashed has bugs, thats a different story
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] igotroot:
Well........I'm not sure about the radios/modems....I have read that both CWM and TWRP allegedly can't really flash modems.. I havent heard any official statement from a DEV on this, so I'm SOL flashing a new ROM till I hear the facts. I've been wanting a custom rom but they say I need the new modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] scott14719:
Both will flash radios just fine. Most of the time most ROMs do not include radios or RILs so you have to flash separate zips that include them. You need to make sure whichever radio you flash is available in a separate flashable zip and compatible with the make of the phone and ROM being used. There is a Radios thread in the Developers section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gandalf:
scott14719 is correct
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] igotroot:
Well, why is it that some people claim that after flashing the modem/radio zips, their phone still shows the name of the previous modem? Why would the name not change?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] scott14719:
I can only speculate. But I would think it might have to do with the install script that might be part of zip the modem is part of. It could be a specific trait of the S4, but I have also seen where people have flashed the modem zips twice, and they finally take.

Either way, the problem shouldn't be with CWM or TWRP, because if they are able to flash ROMs with no problem, they should be able to flash modems with no problem. The difference is the partition that the files are being flashed to.

It is possible that certain S4 models could have extra protection in place to assure the modem stays specific with a particular ROM, but I've never seen that before. Maybe the Devs will figure it out.

Something else to look at is the procedure being used for flashing the modems...is it sufficient?

In order to test it, someone would have to flash the modem at the same time they flash the ROM / Kernel. In other words, in CWM or TWRP, do required wipes, etc..., flash the ROM /Kernel, flash LOKI DOKI (if needed), and then flash the modem before reboot. And see if everything flashed properly.

and then try...

Flashing the ROM / Kernel, (LOKI DOKI if needed) reboot and do set up, then go back to recovery and flash the modem. And see if the modem sticks.

Possibly, proper wipes are not being done before modem only flashes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] igotroot:
I agree with you. I will try it as u described. I have been discussing the modems with some people here:

The first file in op named CWM flashable. Is this recovery auto loki? I flashed the first one but not sure is it is or not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reade0871:
Yes it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] topgun303:
This recovery works great. Just flashed non loki rom and had no problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sky_fox:
So just download the cwm flashable in the op then flash it through my twrp?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bigblue95z:
Yes. Then reboot to recovery and you'll be in OUDHS recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sky_fox:
What about my current nandroids ? They will not be deleted? Also it says run adb and do all the text based work . I dont need to do any of that? Just flash instead?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] neo_styles:
Backups made in twrp won't be recoverable in oudhs and vice versa. They compile differently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] neriamarillo:
It can be done with Philz Recovery. :thumbup::D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reade0871:
Just make a new NANDROID with the new recovery. You should be able to flash back to TWRP if you need to but you wont.

Lol I know I sound so nervous. I'm so scared to break this phone. I love flashing and everyone is saying that this auto loki recovery is much better and safer than twrp. Do you agree?

I still fell stupid but which one do I download? Is it the first one? I want to to download it now and flash but I'm not sure which one ... Help....:/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Planktron:
Download the first one. The cwm flashable file. Flash with twrp recovery. Reboot phone, then reboot into recovery, and you will be in shabbypenguin's cwm recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] djmouse:
or the easiest way is to use the 3in1 tool that u connect adb shell and preps the phone for the recovery then just select the cmw OUDHS recovery very easy and all u do is follow instructions.just another option

Hey shab. Good to see a familiar face over here. My s3 broke so I walked into a tmobile store and they gave me an sgh i377 which I am learning is at&t. No big deal I already have it rooted with motochopper but my question is is my bootloader locked? Being on tmobile means something is unlocked but what? Can I just flash your cwm like the metropcs s3 in odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Febby:
Are you sure they gave you an 337? Why would T-Mobile carry a i337? You sure it isn't a M919?...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
Yep. I guess tmobile in the California use at&t phones. Dunno I was surprised when I got home myself, but as I said, it's no big deal, I just need to know if my bootloader is locked. I've never own a phone with a locked one and am lost on the recovery and flasing method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Febby:
That wouldn't be possible in a way because they would need to have aws bands unlocked haha. So weird. what firmware and baseband does your phone have under about phone? If you got the firmware build ending in MF3 you will be toasted with a currently locked down phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
Baseband I337UCUAMDL

Build number JDQ.39I337UCUAMDL

I can't be the only one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Febby:
Its weird that they gave you an i337 but can't beat free. Its possible you got 4G refarmed 1900mhz in your area.

Once you finish that you can come back to.this thread and download the flashable zip via your phone or computer (transfer the zip to your sdcard or internal).

Once you flash the zip you'll have this recovery. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
The phone wasn't free it cost me 700 bucks with tax because i'm on a prepaid plan. :) Alright thanks, will try now.

edit: cool it worked I now have twrp. :) can I just stick with twrp as i prefer it or do I still need to flash this cwm for it's loki capablities I don't even know what loki is lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hamzer11:
Was this a t-mobile company store or authorized reseller. I would wager that it's a reseller. Worked for one many many years ago. Many shady practices and most customers wouldn't notice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Febby:
Whoa dude! If you paid... Go back and refund or demand a M919 model. The T-Mobile model works on att and T-Mobile more natively and has a unlocked boot loader. You might think I'm pressuring you but you'll enjoy so much more without future hassle of a current locked att model.

I would non the less because you are currently using tmobile service you aren't getting T-Mobile 1700 MHz 3G/4G coverage. Its up to since you paid. I thought it was a free replacement haha. But if you're using att service welcome aboard and I'm glad you're rooted and ready. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
yup reseller.

I managed to install cm with lokiokie so i'm good. man the s4 tw sucked. My data is 12mbs which is a vast improvement over my old one (metropcs) so i'm happy. thanks for all your help. =)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] djmouse:
few questions,ive been using this recovery for some time now, what is the difference between the tar back up and dup backup, i did search but its saying dup just backs up the newer stuff that isnt already backed up,so what if i only do a dup and then restore that will i have a full restore?and one more question when ever i flash roms and i wanna go back to my fav backup ,i usually format data and factory reset so theres no traces of folders from other roms so its as clean as can be,but when i go to restore none of my data gets reovered i have to boot up the rom add my gmail and samsung accounts and then reboot and restore again then it picks up all my data,is there a way to have it restore my data after formating data of my internal card,my backups are all on my xternal card?so what im asking is i want to be able to do a full wipe of everything except my external card and beable to go to my backup and restore the whole thing one time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Guys, I need help. I did something stupid, and I cannot get into recovery mode anymore: I had OUDHS installed on my i337 (currently running yeahmann's GE 4.2.2), and I updated CWM recovery using ROM Manager. Now every time I attempt to enter recovery I get this error screen: "System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone." Would it help if I re-flashed OUDHS using the Loki flashing utility method? Any other ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calvin35:
Are you getting the little blue letters that say booting recovery or is it going straight to at&t message? Maybe you updated to cwm and when you try to boot to the recovery it giving you the message because cwm doesn't auto Loki and the phone is trying to boot normally instead of going to recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kchino:
I don't think it would hurt seeing as you don't have a working recovery. You may have to use ODIN and flash back to stock MDL and start from scratch though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Yes, I am getting the little blue text, followed by ATT's message. Is there hope? (Note, again, that this only happens when booting into recovery. Andorid boots up normally.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calvin35:
I see. Why not use goomanager to flash twrp if android boots normally?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kchino:
It doesn't matter if you're getting the blue text or not. Flashing a recovery on the i337 requires that it be signed which is the purpose of Loki. Flashing a non-loki recovery will give you the AT&T message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bigblue95z:
Sounds like you may need to ODIN back to stock if Android isn't booting. (Just be sure to use airplane mode so you don't ota!) Otherwise just use Goo to get TWRP and flash OUDHS if you want it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Yes, that's the first thing I did, and it still ain't working. Could it be that I am doing something wrong when flashing TWRP? I just let Goomanager do its thing, I got the "recovery has been installed" message, and then I press reboot to recovery. Next thing I know, the dreaded ATT screen comes on, and that's it. Funny thing is that once I'm in the ATT screen I can only boot to Android via booting first in download mode. Otherwise the ATT screen comes on no matter what.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Shawnkanan:
Try doing it manually. Power down then hold volume up+power+home. Have you tried the S4 Toolkit that will root and flash recoveries for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gandalf:
I use goo manager to flash twrp quite often. Sounds like yours isnt pulling the loki'd version. Have you touched your build.prop at all causing goo to look for a different device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Yep, that must be it! yeahmann put Sprint's build.prop on the i337 ROM to make wallet work, and I didn't bother flashing the proper i337 build.prop! How do I get around this? Any way I can download the proper TWRP manually and install/flash it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gandalf:
Just make the build.prop reflect I337/jflteatt where appropriate use the build.prop from an ATT ROM. youre looking specifically at the device, model, etc lines
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Assuming that I manage to set my hands on a proper i337 build.prop, how would I flash it? Can I just overwrite the one that's already in place using Root Explorer, say? Or should I open and edit the existing one? I'd frankly be more comfortable with the former procedure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
If it's a flashable zip you can do it in recovery. But personally I'd do it manually too unless I knew for sure where it came from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
See, that's my problem: I don't have a functioning recovery.And I can't install one unless I have the proper build.prop in place. So, again, is this build.prop thingie something that can be overwritten with a proper build.prop using Root Explorer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
Yes you can do it that way. I recommend you use Root Explorer bc it automatically makes a backup for you. So just change build.prop then when your done installing recovery through goo go back to root Exploer and delete new build.prop & rename build.prop.bak to build.prop then reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
Just edit the existing one. Get a build prop editor from play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
As far as I can tell, this can be edited with Root Explorer, so that's not an issue. The problem is that I don't really know what lines to modify, and I'd feel much better just overwriting it with a proper build.prop (which I already have).

Thanks. I don''t care much about the old Sprint build.prop (I don't really use Wallet), so I can't be bothered to save the old file. What I find vexing is the fact that the build.prop zip archive that I got includes a series of other files besides build.prop: there a whole META-INF folder with other files and subfolders etc. Are those needed too? Or is it enough to just overwrite the build.prop file with the proper one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Here is what you need:

(Make a backup just in case, but this is from ATT build.prop)

ro.product.model=SGH-I337

ro.product.name=jflteatt

ro.product.device=jflteatt

then goo will recognize your phone as I337 and install recovery

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

The other way not sure if you tried this:

Find the flashable .zip of TWR (if you don't find it in TWR thread let me know i'll pm you drop box link)

Download this, and flash with it.

should work just fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
I don't have the device in front of me, but I understand your trying to get goo to download the proper twrp. You probably only have to edit the ro.product.model to read SGH-i337. I'd do that with a build prop editor and not a file manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gandalf:
yea just open it up with Root Explorer, it will automatically backup prior to you making changes, so you can Open in Text Editor or whatever it says in Root Explorer after long pressing the file. fix the appropriate lines that apps look at to determine the device model, save it, reboot, flash twrp via goo manager app. :good:

probably want to look at making these following lines exactly as I have them below:

ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=jflteuc
ro.product.device=jflteatt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:

Is it possible for CWM to make backups to, and restore them from, a micro SD?

I tried searching the thread but could not come up with anything. (Maybe I was using the wrong terms?)

I'm able to access my micro SD in the ROM and RomManager can see my backups that I copied manually to my micro SD but the SD will not mount when I am in recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bigblue95z:
All my backups have been done with OUDHS Recovery and all but one (stock) are on external SD. Look in the Backup and Restore menu. You'll see both 'Backup to External SDcard' and 'Restore from External SDcard'. Use those. Once you make the first backup to External SD, you can plop your other in the same folder CWM made and it should give you the option to restore from External SD and choose that one. Hope that helps!
