I haven't rooted my device(gti9500) yet, and I'm on android 5.0.1, so can TWRP possibly be installed without need to root my device without any problems? And would it work fine then?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] krasCGQ:
1. Quoting the whole OP is a nonsense.

2. You could flash TWRP without having your device be rooted first. However, it would trigger Knox Warranty Void, but it won't be a problem if you don't care about your warranty.

Not working (i9500 exynos)

Flashed twrp using Odin. It said pass in Odin and then rebooted. After the home screen came, a lot of pop-ups appeared saying " unfortunately...( an app name) stopped working". None of my files are missing. But almost half of my apps are vanished from the app drawer. Tried flashing again but nothing new happened. What should I do?

Updated to 3.1.0.0 today. Did a cache and dalkvik format like in 2.8.7 and almost bricked my phone! Fortunately had EFS backed up otherwise would've been screwed. Back on 2.8.7.

Me don't thinks 3.1 is any good for older handsets like i9500. How can formatting cache result in losing EFS? Unsuspecting peeps beware! Backup thoroughly before trying this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
This isn't possible, otherwise i would have already lost my EFS more than 100 times.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] thundastruck:
All due respect. I just said it happened so it is possible. Not only once but twice.

I booted into recovery and wiped dalvik/art and cache. Phone hangs when formatting cache. Also did factory reset and phone hangs when busy with cache partition. Wait like 10 minutes and still hanging. Restart phone only to see phone not booting. Flashed 2.8.7 and confirmed efs is GONE. This is real, why would I make it up???

Been using twrp since 4 years ago. I know what I'm talking about.

I installed 2.6.3 & 2.6.1 trough odin & it stucked on blinking logo.By doing the following method i restored successfully.

1- switched off s4 for about 1 hour.

2-swiched on s4 it will boot normally,

3- installed goomanager & installed 2.6.1 through it.

4-turned off s4 & switched on s4 to enter into recovery mood( pressing home button + upper volume + power button, as it on after a couple second release power button).

5-now you should be in recovery mood then in advance wipe ( select system,user data,delvk , internal sd ), after wipe you can installed any custom rom from ext sd card.
