Hello im fairly new to the rooting stuff so bear with me and I hope im posting this in the right place. Iv looked for other post and most have people believe they have soft bricked there phone, I was able to get out of it
I have a Samsung galaxy s4 with Verizon
model # sch-i545,
android version 4.3,
baseband version i545vruemj7,
kernel version 3.4.0 [email protected] #1,
build # jss15j. i545vruemj7
Hope this is enough info for some help. I do have root using the chines root and terminal emulator to get supersu. I also use titanium backup pro. So here is where I have my problem I was wanting to have a recover backup just in case I messed up my phone. I looked up ways to do this and the one I picked was using goomanager.
1. Opened goomanager and opened the menu and clicked install openrecoveryscript
2. Download and installed and it said download complete
3. I rebooted my phone in recovery mode
4. Now it comes up in odin mode in the top left corner, it says in red could not do normal boot under that
product name: sch-i545,
current binary: Samsung official,
system states: custom,
knox kurnal lock:0x0,
knox warranty void: 0x0,
csb-config-lsb:0x30,
wright protection enabled,
eMAC burst mode enabled
5. And I have the big green droid with downloading… do not turn off target!!
6. This is where everyone else believes they soft bricked and are stuck in a bootloop but if you pull the battery and start up in odin and restart from there you get out of it
So I cant use recovery mode at all, is there any thing I can do to fix this or do I not get to use recovery ever again
Like I said I am new to rooting and all the great stuff it offers, I have rooted my old droid x2 and done a full recovery with it, I haven’t flashed a rom yet but I still don’t know all the in’s and out’s
Thank you for all the help
what it sounds like is you phone is going into download mode. when you are trying to enter recovery are you holding volume up or volume down when you boot? because volume down takes you to download mode and volume up take you to your recovery!

I hold the volume up, power and home keys and it goes in to odin mode and goomanager can boot into recovery mode and still goes into odin mode. I think goomanager doesn’t do the team win recovery and messed up the code for recovery
And thank you I double checked that and still odin mode comes up
first problem was using goo manager, your phone base does not support any custom recoveries. The only available option is safestrap after u obtain root

What bugs me is that I can't get Into recovery anymore. *I have used recovery mode to re install some dumb apps by making a back up with Titanium Backup Pro And made a zip of the apps and re installed them through it. I just don't want to brick my phone hard. But please explain what it is and for.
All I wanted to do was be able to do a nandord backup which is what I thought I was trying todo.

You aren't making any sense, so you need to be a lot more specific about what you're doing.
One, you said above that you're on the MJ7 bootloader. That means that you can't have a custom recovery.
So what the heck does "using recovery mode to install some dumb apps by making a back up with Titanium Backup Pro" mean? You don't run Ti from recovery, you run it from a booted and rooted phone.
"All I wanted to do was to be able to make a nandord (sic) backup"
Oh well. You can't install a custom recovery on your phone since the bootloader is locked. This has been stated repeatedly in these forums.
Sadly, the moderators of this forum are refusing to post a sticky to help guide people like you to avoid this common mistake.
The only way you can back up your existing ROM is to root it and install Safestrap. Do a bit of searching around before flashing anything else.

Im sorry im new to asking for help.
Yes I now know there is no custom recovery and found out the hard way and didn’t do enough research.
With Ti pro, in batch actions-All, section Recovery mode you can create “ update.zip” from apps and data backup. I know this is not a true recovery or nandorid, so I made the zip went into recovery mode and reinstalled the apps I deleted. I was just toying around with that
My original intent was to be able to do a nandorid backup
I have looked at the safestrap method and it looks like it will work for my build I just wanted to know since my recovery mode is corrupt or I believe it is will it work
thank you again for any help

This is a Verizon forum, and you have an AT&T phone. You may have better luck in the AT&T forums, especially since this is such an old thread.
What version of safestrap?
When you say "that installed correctly" do you mean safestrap recovery?
How did you try to enter recovery? Normally, you reboot, then press the "Recovery" button from the Safestrap splash screen. If you try the normal boot to recovery, it'll boot stock recovery, not Safestrap.
Hello everyone. I am new here. I have a samsung s4 verizon. It runned on android version 4.4.2. The hotspot was not working so i decide to root it and flash it with a new custom rom.

rom manager can sometimes create issues. im still not sure why people use it when you can easily flash cwm recovery through odin and it only takes about 2 seconds. im sure you didnt make a backup considering you were trying to flash recovery. the only thing you can do now is flash a stock rom via Odin now to get back up and running. for the future i would suggest you flash cwm through odin instead of trying to do it via rom manager.
thank you so much for responding. ok I think I might have odin installed on my pc. it says "odin in a nutshell". honestly I have no idea how to use it.
So after rooting and taking the android 4.3 update, my phone worked just fine with root. Then I tried to install a custom recovery (TWRP, using the ADB method) and ever since then, the recovery is just gone. Whenever I try to boot into it, the phone boots into download mode with an error message saying, "Could not do normal boot". After that, I tried installing TWRP from the Goo Manager app. Nothing changes. I also can't find a stock restore for 4.3 or a downgrade to 4.2. Is there any way for me to get back stock recovery or a custom recovery?

First, you should have done more research. You can't install a custom recovery on 4.3 (or MJ7). The only thing available is a "questionable" root method. No custom ROMs and no Safestrap.
Second, once an update has been applied, there is no way of going back.
You should check this thread out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507217.
If that doesn't work, try this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507253.
Make sure you read ALL instructions first.
Good luck.

You can't install a custom recovery on 4.3/MJ7.
The only way to recover this is for you to flash the full-wipe MJ7 image that you'll find here in the development forum.
Then, consider reading before flashing. The I545 has a locked bootloader and can't support a custom recovery or custom kernels.

Thanks! Knowing this, I think I will just stick with root but no recovery...hopefully, something will change and allow me to unstick myself from this situation in the future.

This worked well when I had the same issue. I did lose root even with Survival Mode enabled on SuperSU, but otherwise no issues. Thank you.
im on stock root and i wanted to hopefully flash a rom, but first i needed a custom recovery. On my phone, i downloaded Rom manager and it asked me to install cwm. it found my device and it downloaded and said installed successfully. i rebooted into recovery and from there it loops and boots into recovery non stop. i remove the battery and put it back in and it still tries to boot into recovery with the loop. (Semi-fix) when i remove my battery and boot into download mode. i can cancel it and it will skip trying to boot into recovery and load just fine. i can then shut down or restart as needed. but booting back into recovery will start the issue over again. i just want to know a safe way to have cwm on my note 3, or how to revert it back to normal. any help please?

Pull battery let it sit for two minutes. Push menu button, volume down button, and power button at the same time boot into download mode. once there flash a fresh copy of your OS which ever version of KitKat your running. You lose all your personal data, but your beyond that now. Then here is link to my thread should answer all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 enjoy !!!

Yeah ive said it a few times this should not be used
If youve bricked your phone you can get back into your phone by holding volume down menu botton and power botton at the same time when it pops up the warning screen to enter download mode hit cancel your phone will then boot up after your phone is on if you do not have a computer the way you fix the phone so you dont have to do this every time your phone is off you need mobile odin and a kitkat cwm.img.tar for our phone flash it and problem solved you can now boot into cwm recovery then if you want you can flash a twrp img zip through cwm or just keep cwm hope this helps
Ps if you Google mobile odin the dev gives it away on his xda mobile odin page

First, pull the battery for a minute then reinstall hold the power, menu, and volume down buttons at the same time and boot into download mode. The version of Phil'z CWM you flashed is to old for 4.4.4 NK4. Now download to your desktop the right Philz CWM recovery file (Phil'z_Touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5 ) here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ there are two listed use the second one. Flash with odin and you should be good to go. Go to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 for more info.
done exactly as you said and the same screen came up saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing and then it jumps to Philz Touch 6 so im assuming everything is right now...i really appreciate the help! tyvm

ok..i installed cyanogen rom..i also used titanium backup..i want to go back to where i was but i dont see titanium backup on there anymore..how do i revert back?

Hello,
I come for you, because I am trying to install android 4.4 on my phone, because android 4.3 isn't compatible with pokemongo.
I have a galaxy s3 GT-I9300 from a few years, I've never rooted it and it runs on android 4.3.
I've been looking for guides that say that I need to install CWM recovery to then be able to install CyanogenMod.
So I've downloaded Odin, and CWM recovery, added the CWM recovery .tar in the AP box of Odin, put my phone on download mod, plugged it, and run Odin.
It appears that it works succesfully, but when I reboot my phone in recovery mode, I still have Android Recovery System <e3>, and I can't install zip from sdcards (if I understood correctly, <e3> doesn't support zip, whereas <e2> does, and CWM is supposed to put it to <e2>), so I can't install CyanogenMod.
Here is a screenshot of my Odin after running it: (I can't post the link since I'm a new user, so it's on imgur)
/87oPm2l
I can't think of any more information to provide for now.
Thanks for your help.

It could be permission issues. But try using a different cable.
Also, the recovery you are flashing has to support the model of the phone, otherwise, Odin will refuse to install it.

Thanks for the answer, I was not in root mode.
I fixed it and it now works, I have been able to install CyanogenMod from the zip in recovery.
Now I tried restarting my phone, and it's stuck in "Android is starting".
I have a little blue alien popping on my screen, then the screen turns off, then the screen turns on and says things like "starting applications, preparing settings, optimizing applications". But it seems to be doing it on repeat and it's been an hour. Is it normal that it takes so long? I haven't seen it mentionned anywhere from what I checked.
Hello all,
Recently I bought the S8 Plus and I want to sell my S6 Edge, so I wanted to clean it first before actually selling it.
I rooted my phone before, I can't remember how or what software I used, I have a feeling it was Odin,
anyway, I cleaned up my phone by doing a factory reset from within Android's settings.
Since that moment, my phone is stuck in TWRP's Recovery mode.
I have multiple stock roms, but Odin is not able to make a connection with the phone, because I can't get into boot mode.
I've also read things about ADB Sideload, but that freezes up my phone.
Then I read about some command line to type in via the terminal, but that didn't work either.
Also trying to install stuck roms didn't do anything.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get my phone back into bootmode so I can load up Odin and put a stock rom on it?
Any help is greatly appreciated

If I select Download, my phones freezes up.

I managed to update TWRP, making me able to go back to Download mode!
But, once I tried Odin to flash a stock rom, it failed.
Also, my KNOX Warrenty Void is set '1'.
Am I still able to install any roms or get this KNOX fixed?

If you have a PC, use samsung smart switch to re-initialize your device.
And you can not do anything for tripped knox.
