You are probably on the ME7 build. No custom recovery is available for ME7

I suggest taking a look at the safestrap thread in the general section. Hashcode is working on a method for me7 romming. Its a wip at the moment. Also take a look at xposed framework and the wanam module on the play store. Youll atleast be able to do some general customization. I use it and its pretty damn awesome.

Don't mean to jack the thread, but I've got a related question.
While rooting my friends phone I attempted to flash a recovery... But the phone is on ME7 so it obviously didn't work. Now there's no working recovery. With that, can't do a factory reset because it boots to the Odin screen on reboot.
Any way to reflash the stock recovery?

There was some stock recocery images posted here on the forums but I dont have links. If you cant find them you coulf always reflash the stock me7 image via odin. If you have apps and their data you dont want removed there is also no wipe stock images as well. Both are posted in the dev section.

Anyway, you are either not following directions or have bad directions. As the phone reboots from Odin you are to pull the battery out.

I've never pulled battery and haven't ever had issues installing recoveries through Odin. But it wouldn't hurt trying. Out of curiosity, what exactly does it say at the top when you boot into recovery?
Edit: just remembered that if you upgraded to ICS through via OTA, the system reverts back to stock recovery due to code that is imbedded in the ota version of the update. But this code does not exist in the update provided through Kies (what i used). This explains my not needing to do a battery pull during reboot.

As I stated "I just remembered". Confirming your post. So nothing new learned for me lol. It's why I explained why a battery pull may be necessary IF the update was through OTA. If he went through kies, its due to some other reasons. Always best not to make assumptions that's why I asked the questions I did.

On the top it says "android system recovery" with no options to flash files or do a backup or anything, which means its the stock one.

[Q] Cannot Install Custom Recovery On Verizon GS4

Hello, I am new to the forum, but I am not new to rooting. I switched from the Droid Razr Maxx to the Galaxy S4, and so far I have loved my GS4. I am updated fully to android 4.2.2 baseband I545VRUAME7. I was able to root my phone using the SD Card method as published on Saturday, July 27 2013. Upon rooting my phone I attempted to install custom recovery in order to install the Eclipse S4GE v1.4 ROM made by nitroglycerine33. I downloaded Goomanager and installed TWRP. Upon telling TWRP to flash the custom ROM it rebooted the phone, as usual. After reboot i was put into Odin. I tried this process 4 times with no avail, continuously booting into Odin. After trying TWRP, I tried Clockworkmod and the same happened to me. I am unable to get anything other than Odin, and I really hate TouchWiz and want to switch to this ROM. Thanks for any help.

You cant flash roms on the new update, you can only root.
With rooted ME7, we do not have the capability (yet!) to install custom roms or recoveries. See the thread on the bounty about this.

What's your build number? If it ends with ME7 the best you can do is root (for now).
Is there a way to downgrade, or a reason as to why we cannot install custom ROMs?
Me7 blocks older versions of the firmware so no downgrading. You cant install a custom recovery because me7 patched the loki exploit. Once on the me7 ota youre stuck, for now atleast.

To port it over, the stock bootloader must first be unlocked. You can't overwrite the locked bootloader

obviously.. what i should have wrote was,
surprised nobody is able to compare and contrast the 2 bootloaders, find out whats different and examine a way to release that block. which im pretty sure what they have been trying.
basically it should be the same bootloader, one locked and one unlocked. find out how the lock is there and whats different
Is there any way to get out of the Odin mode when you attempt to reboot to recovery on ME7 using TWRP? Is it possible to flash back to the stock ROM?
You cant flash a custom recovery on the me7 ota. Turn your phone off and use the odin/download mode key combo. When it asks if u want continue decline and your phone will boot normally. Me7 images flashable via odin are in the dev section.

You're not using TWRP if you updated to ME7. You have the stock recovery and are on the stock rom. There is no going back to MDK.

Unfortunately I have figured that one out. So, is there any way to install one of the ROMs posted by Dubbsy? I was under the impression that these worked with ME7, but I must be very wrong in that assumption. Forgive my ignorance. I'm just really sick of TouchWiz and I can't wait to get a clean Android install on this device.
No you cant install any rom as of yet on me7. The me7 roms in the dev section are an me7 base with mdk files so you can retain ability to flash a custom recovery and flash other roms. As for your pm shut your phone all the way off and then hold volume down + power. Release power when it vibrates keep holding vol down and itll ask for you to confirm or deny booting to download mode. If you deny it your phone should boot normally. Everytime you boot I believe itll do this so youll eventually need to use one of the me7 odin images. There is no wipe versions in the dev section so you wont lose any apps and data associated with them.

after doing that procedure once, it let's me boot up fine. Powering off, then on, reboot, or batter pull..they all work fine now. How would I install one of the ME7 Odin images? Is there a doc on how to do that using Odin?

Downloading...Do not turn off target!! Stuck after installing TWRP via Goo Manager

I just rooted a Verizon GS4 (VRUAME7) using this method. Everything went fine. I verified root with Root Checker, rebooted the phone, checked again.
Then I followed this method to install TWRP. When I rebooted the device as instructed, it got stuck on a splashscreen that has and Android logo and says "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!" :'(
The upper left in red says "Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE"
I tried a battery pull, vol dwn + power, vol up + power and vol down + up + power.
How do I get back to normal boot or into TWRP recovery? I have a ROM I'd like to install, and as of now...it won't get past that splash screen.
What do I do?
Thanks!
First off youre in the wrong section. Questions go in the Q and A section. Second your on the me7 ota and you cant install a custom recovery/roms on the me7 ota. To get your phone booting again you will have to flash the stock recovery (not sure if someone has posted a stock recovery flashable via odin as I havent looked)or flash me7 again.

This worked perfectly.
Hopefully it'll won't fall back into that. Can't wait until I can ROM this sucker. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.
Since you have the update, boot the phone up in Odin mode and plug in your USB cable.
If you installed the desktop software you will have a Verizon folder in your start menu.
In that folder there should be an app "Verizon Software Upgrade Utility"
Run that and it should tell you you are up to date.
There is a repair utility within that app, run that and it should fix your problem.
It takes a while because it downloads the rom and then flashes it.
No guarantees, but I believe that will get you back to stock unrooted.
Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away
Sounds like he just got into download mode and didn't recognize it, and his rom, recovery, and everything was untouched.
To the OP, you're probably good if your phone has booted normally, works fine, and you're still rooted. You can't flash any roms or mods, but you can still apply some mods by simply pushing them to your /system partition, setting permissions, and rebooting. Either follow the instructions for which directory to put the file/files in, or you can open up a flashable zip and use the same path as the directories in the zip.
You should even be able to push a modded framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and rename the old ones, once people start building ME7 roms, though I can't guarantee it'll work. All you can do is try, and now you know how to get into Download mode to use Odin if it doesn't work.
As far as plain lag goes, just freeze alot of the bloat, there's around 50 apks (in MDK, anyway) that aren't doing anyone any good. Then grab a cpu app like Trickster Mod and see what, if any, parameters the stock kernel enables you to change. If you can set the Interactive cpu governor, Deadline scheduler, Performance gpu governor, and increase the read-ahead size, you should see a significant improvement.

[ROM][ODIN][TAR] SM-N900P MI3 Stock Restore Tar

Credits: Our thanks to Samsung-Updates.com for posting MI3/MI5.
Until I have time to clean this up I figured I would post this now and we'll update it later.
It's more important to make sure people have this while testing new things.
Samsung-Updates.com has posted MI3 here:

MI5 Link:
http://samsung-updates.com/details/14398/Galaxy_Note_3_Sprint/SM-N900P/SPR/N900PVPUBMI5.html
As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.
Link to Stock ROMs:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P)/Stock ROMs/
Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
TESTED AND WORKING - Great Work bud!
Any other DL links? Its not downloading anything.. On either link. Thanks
EDIT: Might be on my end I think it is working now. I already did something and messed it up. Very easy fix but I cant believe the n00b mistake I did lol. Oh well
Edit 2: Last one lol but link did work and was able to restore. Thanks!

Mine was stuck on the yellow sprint screen. I went in the stock recovery and wiped data, and after that it loaded up perfect. So if you are stuck on the sprint screen, try that and it might help you.
Here is a Direct link hosted on my server nice and fast

How did you get it to upgrade to m15?
Tar works great. Checked phone version about 3 hrs later and it is m15 for those wondering.

After using the tar it takes a minute to boot up once it did I went thru the setup like a new phone the first time it didn't do it booted from where it left off but sense I factory reset the second time it was like a new start up
Anyways I just connected my wifi and skipped everything else went to system update clicked to check for updates an it was already downloading the 19mb m15 update

i redownloaded the rom twice and have had the same result. I am using TWRP. i think ill use odin, update the ROM though OTA and reroot and install TWRP again. don't know why my phone is being dumb and not booting the ROM, just bought this beast and i wanna play around with it

[Q] Tried to install CM 10.2, Am I bricked?

Hello everyone, tonight I attempted to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 onto my phone, and now I have a bit of a problem. When I made my nandroid backup, I think it went onto my internal storage, and was deleted when I did a factory reset. I wasn't really aware of this, and had to go into recovery and set up the phone multiple times (the rom didn't ever seem to take), and now when I power up my phone, I get the stock recovery mode, with it saying "Could not do normal boot" and "ODIN MODE" on the next line. Is there anything I can do to salvage my poor phone? I realize that I screwed up majorly with the nandroid backup, but hopefully there's something that can be done.
Thanks for your help, regardless of the outcome.

I did use Goomanager, so I think that means I'm boned. Damn. At least this gives me a half decent excuse to upgrade if I can't fix this.

Find out what your build number is and learn about using Odin.

You should be able to get it into download mode still so you can Odin the full Wipe.
Good luck

Yep. That seemed to work, I'm back in the OS. Now, what would be the best way to install CM 10.2? I've installed safestrap but I don't really want to go further unless I'm sure of what I'm doing, and google/youtube haven't been very helpful
EDIT: it seems that installing it is impossible since I'm on the mk2 broadband. Oh well. I'll just wait for someone to break the restrictions
