re: recovery

Sure you can, you can flash either TWRP or CWM recovery, but you need to ROOT

the phone first. Without root you cannot do much of anything except download/install

apps and games from the google play store.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I think you can still direct flash a recovery in Odin on the 4.3 firmware, can't you?

I dont' know for sure as I never tried it. But if you can still flash CF-Auto Root in Odin I'd imagine you could flash TWRP or CWM in Odin too. All CF Auto Root does is install a recovery to flash SuperUser, so I'm pretty sure you can direct flash any other Recovery.

If you are looking to flash custom ROMs this is the faster way because it eliminates a step. If you just want the stock ROM with root access, then you may as well just CF Auto Root it (which will trip the knox flag) and install a recovery later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] peeps67:
I have 4.3 and have tripped KNOX. I downloaded the 4.3 stock tar and tried to flash it with Odin and it just fails. The only way to get my phone to boot again is to flash TWRP with Odin and then it boot up into my 4.3 rom I installed via TWRP.

Any way to get the stock 4.3 onto the phone again?

Thanks:confused:

re: recovery/knox

I have been meaning to ask this question for about 4 days now...

Actually I was waiting for someone else to ask this question...

Why is it that on MDL 4.2.2 roms I can see all the options in the screen shot below when long pressing

a contacts names so I can edit their phone numbers and details plus a lot of other options.

Here is a screenshot of MDL 4.2.2 contact screen after long pressing contact name:

When I long press a contact name using the MK2 4.3 stock/semi stock roms I

don't even see "edit", there are only perhaps 4 options to choose from when I

long press contact names.

I have flashed 3-4 of these MK2 4.3 cwm/twrp zip file roms and they also have the

same issue. (perhaps I am really over looking something?)

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zure:
Okay, so yesterday I flashed a Gummy 4.4 rom nightly and went to boot into Recovery to flash a different ROM and this pop occurred "System software authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on you phone." I know I have to use Odin to return to stock but my phone isn't showing up in Odin. The yellow bar doesn't show up and I've installed the Samsung USB drivers for my phone but I can't for the life of me make my phone show up in Odin. Please help. I'm also on windows Vista if that's causing the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
What tar file are you trying to flash? If it ends in "gz" then you have to use Odin 3.07 or better ( gz files have to be uinzipped first). If the file ends in "md5" then an earlier version will work. You are putting your phone in Download Mode" correct? Hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Don't release until you see the yellow triangle. Volume up then you should be ready to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It's because you have to flash a 4.4 kernel with the ROM before you boot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 533y4:
I have read a few different forums and threads about creating Odin Tar backups (as almost like a custom recovery restore option, per se). But I was wondering if it where possible to do on this phone, with the unlocked bootloader and all. Also, how would one go about doing this on this specific phone?

Basically, the stock ROM I am running now is VERY custom tuned. I spent hours upon hours working on it. I would like to create a backup where if something were to ever go wrong and I had to factory reset the phone, then I could easily just Odin with a previous "backup" and not spend 100+ hours again creating custom files etc etc.

Can someone please help me with this?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bri315317:
I can't help you but just wanted to say that I have been considering this and see it as a possible work around to our bootloader problem. It would have to be done on a Linux box or maybe VM to build the system.IMG.ext4 file. Basically repackage a system partition . I am pretty sure you can build yours from your phone through adb. I am not sure what the command line for this is.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
You can not flash ANYTHING with odin or anything else on this phone that is not signed because of the bootloader issue we are facing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilpotatoman:
Use Heimdall to flash system.img

I have been playing around with building cm 11 from source for my own personal use. During my testing of other roms, I have used several with Linaro support and love the smoothness they deliver.

Good morning,

Google launched the Play Music All Access in Germany last night, also the newest version of the Play Music App. On the Xperia Z1 there is the new "Save to SD Card" option, but not on the Tablet Z. Is this a only a problem on my Tablet Z or can you also not access this option on your tablet?

Anyone any bugs to report on KitKat?

1) Wallpaper Bug

Had this twice now. For some reason a background app becomes my home wallpaper. First it was the camera (forgot to take screenshots) and just now it was the Play Store.

Only a reboot will fix.

How do you change the Telstra System of my xda mini to an O2 system?

When I do a soft or hard reset a Telstra logo appears on the screen.

Would there ba a problem with this? I this even possible?

Sorry NEWBIE asking sirs! :D :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
The splash screen is changed easily to anything you like, just follow the sticky on the board. Changing your mini to O2 requires the O2 ext-rom files to 'brand' it. Visit the ftp ftp:\\xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com for the ext-rom files. Best is to skip your current ext-rom (hard-reset, finish the initialization & just after the last tap on the screen you soft-reset quickly) & then install the O2 cab-files. Other possibility is to flash your rom. Visit the wiki (link on top of the page & goto magician & then exe upgrade) for this & get an O2 shipped-rom from the ftp (or anywhere else on the web).

Cheers, M

Ps I'd go for only the cab-files first. Flashing can be done later when you're more accustomed to your device.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] chrisani:
Thank you!

How do I install the CAB file?

Which CAB File(O2 version) in the Magician folder is best?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Best? I don't know but watch out, there's a lot of Asian stuff in it. Usually the highest number is the most recent version & preferred.

Just put the cab-files on your device, preferable the SD card via Act.sync or card reaser, then start the file explorer on your device. Navigate to the location you stored them & click on them to install. Might be that you want to install CabInstl first, then you can choose where the apps from the cab's are installed.

[General Questions and Answers] clsifford:
I've just received my OTA KitKat 4.4 update on my HTC One, but it won't successfully install. i tap "install now" on my phone, the phone reboots and goes into TWRP recovery. i found the zip file, flashed it with TWRP, and it seems to have unpacked it because i now have a file with the same name as the KitKat 4.4 update zip file that contains a "META-INF" file and a "patch" file, but when i reboot system, i'm still running Android 4.3 with Sense 5.0 according to Settings>About>Software information. what is going on? am i doing something wrong? do i need to relock my bootloader? uninstall TWRP? if i do need to uninstall TWRP, then how? i don't even see it listed under Settings>Apps. i was really looking forward to running KitKat and i've been trying to update to it all night, so much so that my wife is now mad at me for spending so much time "playing" with my phone! if anyone can help me, i would greatly appreciate it. i'm a newb when it comes to TWRP, but i've had an HTC Tilt, Tilt 2, and a Vivid, all unlocked, rooted, and with custom roms. i was even trying to learn to cook my own roms for my Vivid, so i know (basically) what i'm doing, but i am familiar with using the "install from internal SD card" option in recovery, which i don't even have anymore. now when i enter my bootloader, scroll to "recovery" and select it, my phone boots up into TWRP recovery, which i'm not liking thus far. seems like more of a pain than the simple "install from internal SD" process that i'm familiar with. i'd much prefer to use the process i'm familiar with than TWRP if that is possible. if anyone can help me with any of these issues, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do so. reply to this post, pm me, or email me. doesn't make any difference to me. i'll take any help or advice i can get at this point!
