I rooted my friend's Note-2 using ODIN awhile back, then installed TWRP recovery. He's been getting the message to update, it will go through the entire process, but when booting to recovery, it obviously goes to TWRP. After rebooting from that, he gets the message that the update didn't install. I've tried flashing an update.zip from a fellow member and it fails. So, what's the best way to get his to update? If I need to remove TWRP, how do I do that? If I need to unroot, how do I do that to and have stock recovery? All help is appreciated.

Hey, if anyhow could help that would be great. I followed ask the instructions to flash Clockwork mod on my t999. Odin recognized phone, i pda'd clockworkmod.tar file, it passed and rebooted. Then i held power up+home+power and entered Android system recovery. Have done a few times and i continue to get Android system recovery. Obviously my phone isn't rooted yet, just got it. Is there an alternate way to get clockwork mod or am i doing something wrong? Thank you, any help is much appreciated...

Have you installed recent LH2 OTA update? This is a known issue with this update,quite well described here. To root your phone, you should flash CWM with ODIN, then don't let the phone boot normally (by pulling out the battery), then boot in CWM once and flash root. Finally, after booting the phone normally, CWM will be rewritten, but you will have rooted phone. Hope this helps.
There's another really helpful tutorial on rooting without tripping the flash counter. It's stickied around here somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

By the way, it worked perfectly, i suggest though, when in Odin, uncheck auto reboot, so it didn't reboot after it passes, then i just pulled battery out and tried booting in CWM and it worked. Guess you can't let it reboot or you have to do it again. My last question is, do i keep my phone in usb debugging mode with root on stock rom? I had a galaxy s2 and i know some custom roms had to have usb debugging on. Just not sure if stock with root i should or shouldn't. Thanks again, i hit all the thanks meters on this one, was driving me nuts....Jake

I use TRWP is a better recovery for sg3
Hello, I found out that there is a new update for my phone. After I connected to Wi-Fi and downloaded it, starting the update made my phone restart and boot into Clockwork Recovery. This is the part where I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing in Clockwork Recovery so I just exited and booted into Android where I got a message saying that the update was interrupted. If I try to update again it prompts me to connect to Wi-Fi and redownload it.
So my main question is, what am I supposed to do once I'm in Clockwork Recovery? Also, slightly related question, if I update will I lose root access?

1: How do I revert to stock recovery? If I do, will I lose anything?
2: Are there any alternatives to this?
Thanks for your help, by the way. I appreciate it.
either find the stock recovery and flash it thru odin
OR
wipe everything and flash stock rom thru odin.
Good afternoon everyone, I was at work today and I went to reset my phone and when it was booting everything looked normal and then my phone went straight to TWRP. I tried rebooting and it kept on going to TWRP. I tried to flash my backup and that didn't resove the issue either. When I power on the phone I get "Secure boot error" in the upper left corner. I have been using this phone with out any issues for the past month and now all of a sudden I can't do anything. I need some guidance on what I can do to get this phone just back to working order. thank you in advance.
You'll have to flash stock

Have you been ignoring the OTA update? Funny how after a certain number of times it will just run.
From where you are, flashing back to stock is your only option. Then grab the OTA update, install tarp & root.

This is what I ended up doing it sucks but at least I have the OTA update.
Hello.
I have an AT&T SGH-I317. The OTA upgrade is being pushed, but my phone will not upgrade.
After the download, a Teamwin screen comes up, and after an error message that the "MD5 file not found", the TWRP screen appears, with no indication of how to proceed with the upgrade. I have just tried several different choices, including a factory reset, all to no avail. Before exiting TWRP, it advises that the phone doesn't appear to be rooted, and do I want to install SuperSU (which I've declined).
Can anyone advise as to how to go about the OTA upgrade? Using TWRP, or uninstalling TWRP?
Thanks.

From what I understand and my experience, you can't get OTA updates with a custom recovery installed. You need to have stock recovery.
There's a great post on going back to stock on these forums that has saved me a couple of times when I thought I bricked my phone. Roll it back and then give it a shot.

Just follow those instructions exactly and you should be back to stock in no time. Odin 3.09 cuts the flash time down to 3-4 minutes but 3.07 works just as good.
Hi:
My S4 (SGH-M919) started to give me an "Unable to detect you SIM Card. Your Device will restart to checkfor your SIM card" error unexpectedly. This became really annoying when I was getting the error 10 times a day. The phone was rooted but running stock ROM / kernel.
I stopped by a T-Mobile store to see if I could get a new SIM but they told me the first thing I would have to do is to install the latest software updates from Samsung / T-Mobile (I didn't tell them that my phone was rooted).
So back home I downloaded the latest (4.4.2 / M919UVUFNB4) and installed it using Odin. Then everything went downhill from there...
The phone would not connect to WiFi (would get a message "Checking the quality of your connection")
The screen would not turn off anymore
The soft keys would not light up
Etc...
So I went and rebooted in recovery (stock) and there I saw that I had the dreaded Dead Droid with the Red Triangle... oops!
So I did a factory reset / wipe on the phone rebooted to let the phone do it's things, logged into my gmail account... Everything seems to work fine, but when I reboot in recovery I still get the dead droid with the red triangle...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
4.4.4 nh7 is the latest firmware, you probably borked your root/custom recovery. You need to start over again, check your phone for root with app from play store and go from there.

Thanks for the answer. Couple of questions:
What's the best way to "start over"? (I did the intall of 4.4.4 using Odin, twice!, didn't root after the install, but the phone was rooted before and I ran Triagle Away before I did the update).
Where can I find 4.4.4 nh7? (when I run the "software update" from the settings menu on the phone it tells me that there are no updates available)
Thanks.

Stock firmware can be found here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
and here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508
This last link has instructions on the how.
You may need to ODIN the firmware once. Remove battery without shutting down - just pull it, and then flash again.
Rob
Rlichtefeld links are good and can get the job done, but since you had root and custom rom the only way the phone will run a software update and find it is if your stone stock (wipe with factory reset ) .
Your better off working with Odin on your PC.
Pp.
Thanks for all the help... Still not good, here is what I did.
The phone was rooted but running stock ROM.
Downloaded the NH7 firmware from sammobile
Uploaded the NH7 using Odin, pull the battery off, re-uploaded the NH7 firmware.
Rebooted the phone, let it do it's things. Phone boots correctly and everything looks fine.
Shutdown the phone and rebooted in Recovery mode
And in recovery I still see the dead droid with the Red Triangle!!!!!
Here is what I see on the screen
Anroid system recovery <3e>
KTU8P.M919UVUFNH7
Volume up/down to move higlights;
power button to select.
Followed by the standard recovery menu, then dead droid image and
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Appllied the CSC-Code : TMB
Succefully applied multi-CSC.
I am at a loss here...
Thanks for any help.
It sounds like your using the stock recovery, that may be broken. You should install a new custom recovery like CWM. There is an app in the play store that will install one as long as your rooted, Root Rashr - Flash Tool.
May need to install superuser if not installed.

Looks like this. I used this with no problems, it will give you choices on recoveries, CWM, Philz,and TWRP.
I'm using CWM.

Looks like it. I hope in the end that will cure the "Unable to detect your SIM card error".
Is there a way to flash the original recovery?
If not, I mgiht root the phone and install CMW. Is there a Odin installable version these days or do I need to do it via ADB or the original recovery? (I haven't done it a a while!).
Denis
Only way to get stock recovery is to go back to stock, if you use the app it will install a custom recovery if you have root. it's very easy to use vs odin. There is a video that shows you how to do it, look in you tube.

That android image at stock recovery is normal

I did go back to stock when I installed the latest stock ROM, which then, if I understand what you say, should have installed the stock recovery. In which case, my issue with the dead droid in the recovery screen should not be a screwed up recovery...
By "the app" you mean the CMW ROM Manager?
Thanks.

I was on stock /rooted NH7 two days ago, wanting to flash a transparent weather widget I located this app in the play store, installed it, ran it and had CWM recovery when finished, then proceeded to flash the zip file for the weather widget. PROFIT.
You don't want to mess with rom manager.
