thats correct, you need your particular tar file for odin, probably the full wipe so you can start over

If you want CWM why cant you just install ROM manager and install CMW from there? CWM should install and replace TWRP with CWM.
Edit: and if that doesn't work I posted a link to MDK stock restore method in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49349378 Hope this helps.

If you have an MDK version with custom recovery and 4.3 installed then yes it will bring it back to MDK stock unrooted wiped. I've used it a couple times to get a clean start and rerooted.

Yes your basically flashing stock firmware via Odin and bringing your device back to MDK the way it was when you bought it. It wipes everything.

You can't install CWM through ROM manager? It should override TWRP.

no it does not over ride twrp
So I used ROM manager to install CWM recovery 6.x.x.x on a brand new, fresh stock install. The app says that CWM is installed on my system. Yet when I boot into recovery it takes me to the Android System Recovery 3e. Any ideas what's going on?

Try using Flashify from the Play Store to flash a recovery. For some reason there's been issues with ROM Manager and many have gotten by this by using Flashify from what I've seen.
ROM manager may not be Lokifying the recovery or something I'm not entirely sure. Something going on there though

Thanks guys. I am on MDK. I ended up trying GooManager and it properly installed TWRP, so I just went with that.
Ok, I got this phone with MDK bootloader, CWM, and cm10.2 on it. Had to go to TW and flashed hyper drive with kt kernel to enable diag mode to flash to page plus, and then I attempted to flash a handful of aosp roms and all of them wouldn't boot, said non factory samsung firmware, so..... Rebooted recovery and restored tw, will I not be able to enjoy aosp ever again now? :'(
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Have you tried an odin full wipe?
That's what I'd try, but make sure to use the MDK tar, otherwise you'll lock your bootloader.

I'd try downloading an updated Philz Recovery. You probably just need an updated recovery of some sort.
If that doesn't fix this then Odin stock MDK root it, then install an updated recovery. You'll be able to flash whatever you like.
Also look into using Flashify from the play store to install an updated recovery, lot of people are having issues with Goo/ROM Manager for whatever reason.

I am rooted with TWRP, installed the B148 update and rebooted. when i tried to reboot into TWRP to make a backup it went into stock recovery. I tried reflashing twrp no problem and the PC screen said "finished", but no twrp when i rebooted again. Any help? Thanks.
Use stock recovery to re install update located in your extsd.
Then re flash TWRP via bootloader

I applied the B148 update before I ever mounted an sd card, so there is no update file there. I have since installed an sd card however. What do I do now? Thanks.

Hey guys,
I have a vzw galaxy s4 on 4.4.2 kitkat (stock and rooted) and the thing is i installed safestrap and after installing safestrap i tried to install the cm12 5.0.1 rom on my s4. The install completed successfully although it said that it could not mount /system, /systemorig, /internal storage. I installed this on rom slot 1 to try it out and when i tried booting from it all i got was a black screen. I did a little further investigating and i discovered that safestrap would not even do a simple factory reset because it could not mount /system or /internalstorage. I have no micro sd card installed and when i tried manually mounting /system it would not let me check it. ANY HELP IS APPRICIATED THANKS!!
thanks in advance,

Unless you have a GPE S4 or mdk bootloader, you won't be able to flash any aosp/cm/aokp roms. If you are using safestrap 3.72, you can only flash to the stock slot. I would recommend flashing the no wipe nc5 tar file through odin to restore your phone. I would recommend echoe rom or hyperdrive next time

Here is the exact problem you and I were trying to get to the bottom of with 3.75 A03. I've only had it happen twice in the last couple weeks while flashing tons of different ROMs so it's not that big of a deal. Just pointing out. Also, I've not found anyway to fix it except to Odin back to a stock ROM, reroot and then reinstall SS.

Yeah the problem was I flashed a non-touchwiz based ROM which screwed everything up. So after installing the stock NC5 ROM I rooted it and installed ss. I'm currently running the hyperdrive ROM I installed using SS and there are no problems so far!

My bad man. However, I did verify flash a CM or AOSP based ROM definitely gave me that problem too and I had to Odin back to NC5.

1. Put your phone in download mode
2. Open Odin
3. Flash this file in Odin:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407590051
4. Once flashed root your phone using towelroot.com and click the symbol to download (make sure unknown sources is on)
5. After you achieve root download super su from google play.
6. Open super su and disable Knox
7. Download safestrap from here: https://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jflteatt/safestrap/ (Make sure to download 3.72 jflte)
8. Download terminal emulator
9. Open terminal and type "su" without quotes and then type "setenforce 0" without quotes
9. Open safestrap and grant root access and install recovery
10. Download the hyperdrive ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724 and download nc5 modules from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23486521113837640
11. Once downloaded reboot and when you get to the safestrap screen touch "
"recovery"
12. Once in recovery make sure stock slot is selected in "boot options"

Oh another thing I forgot is that once you download towelroot.apk from the website you need to open the app and click "make it ra1n" and you should have root. Once you reboot into the hyperdrive it doesn't come with root so here are the steps:
1. Uninstall super su that comes with the ROM
2. If it is a system app (super su) then install no bloat free from google play and then uninstall super su
3. Install towelroot again
5. Open the app and click "make it ra1n"
6. Open super su after that and it should update its binary
7. Your FINALLY all set

Hello guys.
Could you please explain why should I install ROM in wiped stock slot? And not in the free space of SD-card? I thought that Safestrap was invented to flash and run different ROMs safely from the SD-card (virtual img slot) or free space of internal memory (real slot). Anyway, that was so with my moto razr. It seems I just misunderstood something.
