I looked around for one but was unable to find one. Maybe Twi5sted's stock has the original kernel but encryption fails when I attempt it.
Any suggestions?
Yep, muinz_ri created a Stock De-Odexed ROM. I was successfully able to install Xposed by flashing everything through FlashFire and still have Knox 0x0.

That's awesome, wish I had known before I tripped Knox but oh well.
I'm getting a bootloop with a very bright split second tmobile splash screen just before it reboots. I have latest TWRP, link2sd and encryption... I wonder what the problem could be...
how to make stock recovery flashable?
I do have another question regarding this rom - would you happen to know how I may be able to make the embedded recovery image flashable? TWRP doesn't seem to be working at the moment with regard to decrypting and formatting /data but the stock recovery does. It can come in handy if there is a way to do it via mobile odin possibly or via some other program.

Right now I have stock recovery as I recently reflashed the Rom. At some point however I plan to go back to TWRP.
If I run into encryption problems and need to do a reset, I would like to see if I can flash TWRP using TWRP app while booted in safe mode (if I am able to get that far).
What do you think?

Well encryption will be fine on stock recovery. I thought you had twrp and just wanted the stock recovery which I was going to tell you to post the stock recovery and I'll put it in a twrp flashable zip

Here, download this, extract the zip, put the recovery.img in the extracted folder, highlight meta-inf system and recovery.img and zip all three and flash it. Only use this zip for stock or custom recoveries

Hey thanks! So I did as you said and flashed the stock recovery from the deodexed rom and it's still TWRP. Strange isn't it? It would make sense if the deodexed ROM came with TWRP but when I initially flashed it I can confirm it was stock android.
I'm confused....

Oh wait, I did something very wrong... fixing now...
Yay it worked, thanks a lot
I guess I should keep the stock recovery installed with this thing encrypted because TWRP seems broken (at least version 2.8.7.0). I emailed the developer about it.
Now I'm wondering for added flexibility, how I may be able to flash the stock recovery from MobileOdin. That seems to take .md5 files and not zips. Is this feasible to do?

Well thanks! Maybe you can point me toward the Windows way as I would like to do the same for the stock kernel, xposed, and the tethering addon.
fishinpercolator so are you having trouble with TWRP? What I did in FlashFire was flash the pre-rooted de-odexed ROM (that I linked earlier) then booted that. It was de-odexed and worked fine but boot took about 15 minutes (as it is de-odexed).
In FlashFire you need to hit the + and press Flash ZIP or OTA.
Then I installed FlashFire again (it was erased because I flashed a new ROM) and downloaded the Samsung 5.0 Xposed ZIP and flashed that in FlashFire using Flash ZIP or OTA. Basically since I have Knox 0x0, I use FlashFire as my "recovery" and it might be easier for you than finding a working TWRP image (although I am sure ShinySide is more than eager to help you). Then I installed the Xposed APK and had to reboot before it recognized the Xposed ZIP was installed.
After that, most Xposed modules started working for me.

I haven't used flashfire but will look into it. I've already tripped knox a while ago so that's not my prime concern. I want this phone to be encrypted and would like to learn a way to fix on the fly while on vacation (and without a laptop) in the event a catastrophe happens. It seems TWRP may not be removing the crypto footer when I format data as I still get the encryption password prompt.
Seems like flashfire allows you to flash roms from USB? I will need instructions for that.... <pokes around>
::update::
For some reason I thought flashfire was command line driven... I have Mobile Odin and I read that it contains flashfire, something worth looking into.
Is there a way to flash roms using ADB from a usb stick?
(NOTE- I should clarify, is there a way to flash from a command prompt assuming custom recovery is not installed and the phone is soft-bricked).

I was only wondering if this was available since we can't flash recovery images on the opposite recovery. I have made a recovery image in TWRP but have not gone so far to not just flash CWM and make a recovery image that will serve as my new point zero. Just curious since I only saw flashable CWM.

the link you gave to TWRP recovery was exactly what i was looking for. In the TWRP website they have a flashable option for TWRP to use in whatever existing recovery you have, that is CWM for us. Under droidstyle's guide (there's the thread also in dev section too for CWM) there is also a link for flashable CWM so now im set.
Although you already found what you were looking for, you can also download/run the goo manager app, press menu->install open recovery script. That will install TWRP.

I was hoping this way would let me get out but Ive now lost any custom recovery while in paranoid android. So what i did was while in Jelly Beans rom is flash CWM recovery to then flash Paranoid. I then decided to go back to beans, and i tried to flash TWRP zip that i has to restore my recovery. That failed an i have no recovery. I only have android system recovery <3e>. I am currently trying the goo manager to get me back, but so far i dont think im doing it right ill keep trying.
...So with goo manager i cant flash back to beans, i cant flash CWM back on, and ive: installed open recovery script to to install the TWRP img file but it must not have worked, but i cant see anything to indicate not.
Ok so im am stuck with just the stock recovery. In goo manager it says the recovery was installed but if is reboot to recovery its just crappy old boring stock and if i try to flash anything from goo manager it just reboots to that same stock recovery. Anyone know how to get a custom recovery back?

The TWRP in goo manager is not the correct one for our phone. I did the same thing and ended up in the same position as you. I used the suckitverizon file from Adams thread and odined it back on to the phone. If was in that position now I would use the newly released tool kit.
Good luck.

Im downloading the toolkit now but in the meantime did you have to restart the whole process in the 3 step bootloader unlock or did you just start at flashing suckitverizon version 2 in odin? Im just wondering how safe that is.

No I did not have to start over. If I recall correctly, I put the suckit file in the pda box and hit start. You can read up on it in Adams main thread and I know there were a few other people in the same fix.
Good luck
Toolkit saved my bacon. Many lessons learned. so if i want to restore an image in twrp say from paranoid then i use cwn to flash to a rom that plays nice with twrp then flash twrp back then recover in twrp. Now if i get stuck the toolkit has the correct twrp and cwm for the verizon note ii.
spoke too soon i though at least getting cwm was all good. However the toolkit wont install TWRP which is what i have my backups made on. i followed all the step on screen and selected sch-i605 to be flashed in odin. I can only reboot into stock recovery afterwards. :crying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051992 This has been asked (by me) and answered (by awesome folks with more sense than me).
ok it all over. CWM can be had by flashing zip in twrp or through tool kit. twrp i only regained by odining again the suckitverizon from Adam's unlockbootloader thread.
The LG G Pad 8.3 has a locked bootloader, and to bypass it we have two different tools: Open bump and Loki. Most custom roms now use Open bump (recommended), but some still use Loki. Jellybean and Kitkat bootloaders have different backlight settings, and kernels need to be adapted to match those backlight settings. So here I provide some flashable zips, so you can choose the bootloader that best suits your custom rom.
IMPORTANT: to install these files, reboot into recovery and flash the zip of your choice. After that, reboot into recovery again so the changes take effect. If you are stuck on Lollipop bootloader and have no access to recovery, check this post.
V50020F Bootloader is needed if the kernel in your custom rom/recovery is adapted to Kitkat bootloader backlight, like CyanogenMod 12.1 and TWRP official builds.
V50020F Bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707804
*** DEPRECATED (below) ***
V50010B Bootloader is needed if the kernel in your custom rom is adapted to Jellybean bootloader backlight, like those based on CyanogenMod old code.
V50010B Bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613674
V50020D Bootloader Loki is needed if the kernel in your custom rom is adapted to Kitkat bootloader backlight, but it's packed with Loki. All the files are from V50020D, except aboot.img from V50010B. This should not be used anymore, every custom rom should use Open bump instead of Loki. If you are a developer and want to use Open bump instead of Loki, check this commit.
V50020D Bootloader Loki: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613676
* If you are a developer and want to use Kitkat bootloader backlight settings (instead of Jellybean), check this commit.
Wow I may not have my Gpad yet but I think its getting easier now because of this base flashable zip. Thanks

How can we exactly use this?
Just want to make sure nothings bad gonna happen
Im currently on LRS Kitkat and old TWRP. If I want to replace it with CM 4.4.2 ROM. I have to wipe the system then use 4.2.2 base then the full CM ROM?
Just found out that even the new TWRP 2.7.0.1 is still not compatible LRS ROM
Its possible to replace recovery.img with old TWRP or perhaps Philz CWM?
Yeah, I'm a little lost too on how to proceed. If you can post some detailed instructions, it'd be much appreciated

It's pretty simple, If your on a 4.4 stock (not aosp) and want to flash an aosp 4.4 rom (which uses 4.2 bootstack) flash the 4.2 zip then reboot into recovery from recovery (important) and then flash your rom normally. If your on 4.2 stock or aosp and want to flash a 4.4 stock rom, flash the 4.4 zip then do the same by rebooting into recovery from recovery and flash away. Its important to reboot into recovery from recovery after flashing these because if you boot your current rom, the kernel and other boot partitions won't match - bad things will happen.

Boot into recovery, flash the chosen base zip, then press the reboot button and then recovery, this way it reboots into recovery again and the changes are applied. Then you flash the rom you want.

It depends on what rom you want to have. If you want stock 4.4.2, flash any of the zips found in the forum (like the flashable V50020B), it will also change the base. If you want CM11 or any other AOSP based rom, flash the 4.2.2-base.zip, reboot into recovery again and then flash the zip of the rom.

Use mobile tool and do it again. Be sure your using the regular mobile tool, not the modified one for the kdz method. Get in dl mode, choose upgrade recovery option + manually enter your model # and serial #. Give it a good 5+ min to determine if it's actually hanging. If it does, unplug it and plug it back in and it'll continue. I did that once and it worked fine.

Thank you for the prompt reply and help. Lest I belabor the point, I understand what you're saying from the beginning, but what confused me was the mention by another member that the 4.4.2 customs roms used 4.2 "bootstack" (whatever that means). So the question again is: if a custom rom says 4.4.2, is it really 4.4.2 or 4.2 boot stack (whatever that is)? And in which case, which zip do I use?? I can do it by trial and error, but need to be assured that shooting from the hip won't mess my tab unnecessarily. Again thanks for the help.
Hey,
As i don't have enough posts i have to make thread in to this silly Q&A board.
1. I have completely stock p4 (p7500) tablet with 4.0.4 android. I am wondering
is it possible to install he's/her's rom directly without rooting or do i have to
flash some other recovery with Odin before i can install recommended TWRP
recovery.
2. As the tablet is completely stock i haven't rooted it, but as with all tablet tutorials
they always flash some recovery with Odin before rooting. With stock recovery
i get these errors.
"Unknown volume path for /sdcard" so i simply can't install recovery from original named zip file.
Mr. google doesn't really help with the subject
When trying to
<code>
adb push twrp.zip /sdcard/update.zip
</code>
It simply says that action is denied, probably because i haven't rooted the tablet.
Instructions on dev forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777161
are quite short and doesn't say anything about coming from stock rom/recovery.
So is it possible to do this straight from stock recovery or do i have to pull some
fancypancies before i can use desired recovery / rom.
Waiting for reply.

fancypancies before i can use desired recovery / rom.
Waiting for reply.

First flash custom recovery(twrp) with odin. Then using your custom recovery flash your root.zip or whatever the rooting zip file is named. That will get your tab rooted. But you should be able to install your custom rom with just the custom recovery installed as the rom is already rooted.

So really only way is to flash custom recovery with Odin. After that rooting is kind of useless,
most rom installation scripts have root access or superuser integrated.
And no developer doesn't provide recovery that is flashable via odin so that's why i was asking
if it is even possible to do from stock recovery.
Any experience of using heimdall with p4?

Here's one: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3158
After flashing, flash TWRP 2.7.1.0 and reboot to recovery again. Then you can start flashing custom ROMs.

Or else i have to adb push files to root?
So as everyone seem to ignore completely question about can you flash custom recovery from android stock recovery
and goes yapping about Odin i assume it cannot be done. It's just extra hassle and no i ain't fan of Odin, means that
i have to use windows intended programs on linux. F**k my life!

No, you CANNOT flash zips with stock recovery. Happy?
And you didn't said that you had Linux instead of windows which is why you were told to use Odin.

You asked for a recovery that could be flashed with Odin, so I gave you that link.

Finally straight answer. Yes, very happy.
Just for the record they can be flashed through stock recovery. Little harder than expected, but possible.
When mounted you can get to root folder and simply rename your zip file to update.zip and place it
in to /sdcard/ directory. In my case internal storage of the phone was found at /mnt/sdcard/.
Should also work if update.zip is placed in to /cache/ directory of the phone.

I didn't ask recovery that could be flashed via odin, but i did ask if anyone had experience of
using heimdall. Perhaps that qualifies as odin in some universe.

Yeah, i did miss comma there, at the "and no, developer..." but still can't see where i asked link for recoveries. Still repeating question
if it can be done from stock recovery.
We could argue about semantics all day here, there just ain't any point in it. Got my answer.
I recently purchased an MDK device and I was wondering if anyone could let me know what recoveries I can flash.
You are now able to install any recovery on the s4! Want TWRP? You can get it. CWM, no problem. Heck, safestrap might even work. And you can flash any s4 ROM you want like the gpe ROM, octorom, cyanogenmod. Have fun with mdk! Still need a device with mdk myself XD.

I don't know if you can answer this, but when you say any TWRP recovery, do you mean ANY? Are all versions of TWRP loki'd? And how do I install a new custom recovery if I already have one? Do I use recovery tools app? And do I have to remove the other one first? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm just not looking to screw anything up on a fresh MDK device.
For TWRP, Just go to the play store and download Goo Manager, and that will install the latest TWRP when you choose to install it. If you need to uninstall a custom recovery, you will need to use odin 3.07 or above and the MDK full wipe .tar file (Im trying to find it for you as of now, will reply when found) and flash the stock mdk firmware so you can use loki/root and install a new recovery and a custom rom.
OK because the device comes with CWM installed. Can I update it through CWM ROM manager? And goomanager is no longer supported as an app. Also, where do I download gapps?
Hey again, found the MDK full wipe tar file. Here it is. http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (SCH-I545)/Stock ROMs/TAR And just so its quicker, here is the loki link for you just so its right here when you get back to stock mdk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 Also, when you use odin, dont forget to put the .tar in the PDA slot (3.07) or the AP slot (3.08 and above) If you need anything else, im usually online so i can help ASAP

I have a no wipe MDK.tar file. What's the difference between full and no wipe? And any ideas for my questions on my last post? Sorry for asking so many. Just don't want to mess anything up.
Full wipe will delete everything, but it will be able to 100% delete any recovery if you dont want, the no wipe will keep data but restore every partition, i think that includes recovery, if you need to keep the data, try the no wipe, and see if recovery is there, if not, you can install CWM from the play store or find a flashable TWRP for odin, depending on preference. And if you want to just keep CWM, i think the CWM app should be able to update it. Also didnt know goomanager wasnt a thing anymore. Havent used a custom recovery in a year or two, stuck with safestrap.

Now can I flash the no wipe or full wipe through CWM? Or just the no wipe? I'm guessing just the no wipe.
I dont believe both can be flashed in CWM, both say to use odin.

OK makes sense. And where would I get gapps from?
Make sure to keep reading so you don't make the fatal mistake of flashing a locked non-MDK bootloader...
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Try this http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip Its a link for Gapps from Cyanogenmod, its the KitKat Gapps.
Hey, hows everything going?

I just read through the thread and sensed confusion. Use Odin 3.09 (just google it) to flash (in the AP box) The MDK full Wipe tar.md5, that will set the device to stock MDK, then download either CWM (http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-jfltevzw.img) or TWRP (http://goo.im/devs/s0updev/gooinsideme) and flash one of them with Flashify from the Play Store.
Download the ROM of your choice and place on SD Card and install using your Custom Recovery, use Gapps from here for CM (http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip), here for AOSP (http://highonandroid.com/android-apps/download-android-4-4-4-gapps/) and Touchwiz ROMs should already contain them because they are licenced to.

I currently have CWM recovery installed, is there a way for my to install TWRP without using ODIN to flash the MDK full-wipe? Or is that the only way?

Are you saying yes to my question if I can do this without ODIN? Or are you saying yes to "Is that the only way"? I am just not trying to mess my phone up.

No odin needed. Just download and flash via flashify.
Also, this is a bit off of the current conversation, but for some reason my Google Apps aren't updating themselves. I don't have the material design Play Store or any of the very recent updates for the Google Apps. Any ideas?
I wanted to know if there is any way to install an ota zip on rooted phone.I am currently on twrp 3.1.1. I have already tried flashfire. i have also tried restoring to stock system,boot,recovery(using flash firmware option in flashfire app) but still it it shows 'can not update' error even in stock recovery.
Very very thanks to anyone who replies.
download it, rename the zip to update.zip, put the zip in your phone and use update app

there's no flashing option on stock recovery.
Only at TWRP (or other custom recovery) Flash directly from there.
Rooting has nothin to do with it.

Oh, that error means the ROM might be faulty or you're flashing the wrong one.
Be ensure of the ROM first.
Redownload and check.
