you should be able to odin this. Tar file goes in the PDA slot of Odin. md5sum 2b781e4515982a6b7d9586cbb3158647
http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5
It is a direct boot to safe CWM recovery. If that doesn't work, we need more info than " flashed the EL29 directboot tar nothing"

Thanks for the quick response! The directions I followed stated I put the file in the Kernel slot in the Odin. Is that wrong?

When you put the directboot EL29 kernel in the kernel slot and flash it, phone directly boots in CWM.
Did you install mobile odin from the play store OR the thread here on xda? If you installed mobile odin from the thread here on xda, then you ALSO need the flash kernel that is linked in that thread..

Did you check the MD5 to be sure you got a good download? It should go in the PDA slot for desktop ODIN! REference: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html

I installed the playstore version. It will boot to CWM but I cant select install zips, or any option. I have to pull the battery then Im stuck in a boot loop, which forces me to use ODIN to restore

Did you do this - Vol up - Vol down - Vol up - Vol down until it says back menu button enabled?
You are in bootloop because that is GB kernel on ICS OS. Your phone running ICS will not boot with a GB recovery which EL29 and EL26 are.
When you are in bootloop, hold down power + Vol up until you are back in CWM. No need to odin anything..

U have to toggle power button by volume+, vol-,, volume+ then you can use power to select, also home key will select(I think)

If you're flashing the StockEL26CWM tar and are on ICS, it will go to the black screen because that kernel isn't compatible with ICS.
You'll need to hold VolUp and Power until it reboots into recovery. Don't let go of either button until you're in recovery.

You don't want to use ANY recovery on ICS. It has high risks of bricking your device.
Flashing the EL26 (which is a GB recovery) is what you'd want to do if you are upgrading your ICS or restoring a nandroid of a GB ROM. But the ICS ROM won't boot with the stock EL26 kernel because it is a GB kernel.
Okay so I tried to install a custom kernal and managed to break my phone, no biggie i thought, tried to boot into CWM but I can't access recovery menu OR download menu
Please help thanks
Trying to go into download mode for odin results in a black screen then the phone turns off..
[email protected] I havnt used odin before so thats new to me >_<
I would suggest to use odin to flash a stock kernel. its the easiest way.

exactly what I did with my phone, if it don't work your doing something wrong.
So I flashed this rom after flashing the FK23 modem. I decided to try to go to a new rom so got into mobile odin and flashed el26, but now I still have the stock recovery that tells me that signature verificarion failed and I cant boot into an Operating System. Please Help.
First make sure that the ROM you want to flash is on your sdcard then Boot your phone into Odin mode by turning it off, then holding down power and volume down button. Press volume up to go into odin mode, Flash EL29directboot cwm with Odin 1.85 and phone will reboot into a working cwm where you can flash the ROM. hope this helps.

I just rooted my Samsung s4 (SGH-M919) by (CF-Auto-Root method), and I have trying now to flash ''PhilZ Touch Recovery''' And I did everything, flashed this version ''philz_touch_5.18.2-jfltetmo.tar.md5'' through odin, and the phone restarted normally. Unchecked the ''auto-reboot'' in odin, and after flasing, did the manual restart to recovery (Vol. Up + Power +.Home) and still nothing..
Tried another version ''philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltetmo.tar.md5'' and still nothing happened.
What am I missing? Any help please?
Thanks.

You don't need to press the HOME key to get into recovery.
Just press the volumeUp and the power button at the same
time until you see tiny blue writing in the top left hand side
of the phone's screen then let go of the buttons and it should
go into recovery mode.
My suggestion is to use either TWRP or CWM recovery for best results.
Good luck!
I would first root then go into the play store and download ROM manager. After doing that install cwm through there then reboot into recovery and flash philz recovery (.zip) provided somewhere in his posts and you'll be fine. I do it every time this way.

Rename the file. Just take off the .md5 at the end.
Make it just .tar at the end. It should work fine.
I am using Odin 3.09. I have tried several CWM .tar.md5 and recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-serranoltexx.tar.md5
It always says "PASS!" and when I boot into recovery I get the old Android system recovery <3e>
What am I doing wrong??? Please help!
In Odin does it say "succed1 failed 0"?
After the phone reboots did you press Home + Volume up?

Yes, it says that. When I first press home + vol up I cannot get it into recovery. It does a normal boot. Only if I try again, it boots to the OLD recovery
If fails because you did not boot into recovery right after it flashes. You must catch that first boot into recovery otherwise the system will automatically reflash stock recovery
