The CWM or Team Win recoveries will not stick after rebooting the phone with w OTA update. There is a way of making recovery stick on the rooted OTA update. Does anyone know the correct files to freeze or erase for the new recoveries to stick?????
Is there another way of these recoveries to stick besides flashing a custom Rom??

I definitely didn't have that problem. If you have root use google manager to install twrp

I have root, I have Goo Manager, I'm on a completely stock rooted rom and every time you reboot the new OTA software over writes the custom recovery to the stock Android recovery. If you have a custom rom this will not happen, only on a stock, rooted OTA latest update rom. Others are having the same issue.

What methods did you use to install the ota and root?
Have you tried flashing the stock rooted version wildchld released?

I waited for the OTA update then used Odin to flash root, did not reboot after flashing with Odin, pulled battery, then went right to recovery and flashed super user.zip file. I rooted my phone the right way. This is my 2nd SGS3 and didn't have this problem with the 1st one because it had the older build. This is not a problem if you are on a custom build. Only stock, rooted with latest OTA build.

Guys, I have seen this on my GF's GSII (Sprint) as well as on my nexus 7. They are placing a file called recovery-from-boot.p in the /system/ directory that overwrites recovery on every boot. I put a guide a few post up that outlines the issue when I saw it on my GF's phone.
Personally my T-Mobile has been fine, but this scenario I have dealt with before. So don't flame that bad.
The bottom line is that without some custom modding, if you're running the official stock OTA update, stock kernel, etc, standard CWM recovery is not going to stick.
Plain and simple.

Ok, both files were present as described in your guide.
Renamed both to:

Reflashed CWM through ROM Manager. Rebooting now, then will try power off & booting into recovery. Hang tight
*Edit: Worked like a charm. Gentlemen, we have the solution. Thanks due (and given) to cybrnook both here and in the guide

I would argue, I have a stock rooted rom, stock kernel and I update to the new OTA update via Kies and TWRP has stuck every boot since then. I even tested it again when I saw this thread as it made me unsure.

Maybe the Kies version is different than the OTA.
Maybe TWRP overwrites or renames/deletes the files causing it.
But you can't argue with my posts, because I said official OTA update, and CWM.

No worries, but for clarification to all the read this thread. The update from Kies is the exact same Official update as the OTA, so if you have not been prompted for the update yet from T-Mo, just install Kies on your PC and plus your phone in, it will prompt you for the update.
I have another guide I made for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842142
For the recovery, installing twrp or CWM wont remove the two files I listed. This is done manually. I know on the sprint side, they made a root Super User package that swiped those off specific to the sprint phone. But I opted away from that for my GF as I Prefer SuperSU and am anal retentive about installing something I don't want and uninstalling it.

ingenious, it's not present on all phones. Like mine for example, I have been fine since day 1 of owning the phone. But my GF's sprint phone had the persistent install present.
It's strange, some phones don't have it at all, some only have the .p file, and some have both. I have not found the common denominator yet.

Since ATT claims that they will be doing an OTA update tomorrow I'm wondering what will happen to my rooted phone. Do I install the update? Will it try and automatically install the update itself? If it does what will happen to my phone. I'm currently on the latest version of Clean ROM. Thanks for all the help in advance!
I am kinda curious about this also. I am just rooted tho , with the exploit method. No custom roms or anything. I unchecked the options and rebooted to get phone state normal and then checked for updates , but didn't find anything.

I am also rooted and using CleanRom 3.5. I am sure the build date for the current CleanRom will be newer than the AT&T build date supposedly coming today. I guess I won't be updating since they are only adding multiview and I already have it via CleanRom. When the day comes that 4.1.2 is pushed out by AT&T and an update is needed, will I need to unroot my phone to get that update or is there another method?
If you have a custom recovery and things frozen or deleted with titanium backup you must undo all of that and get a stock recovery and then use ota root keeper to temporarily hide the root and you should be ok

I'm not sure why anyone would want to go back to stock if you have a custom rom already installed. Custom roms will always be a step or 2 ahead of the carrier releases. This current at&t update is only for multi window and whatever updates are released in the future are likely going to be available via custom roms long before the official carrier release anyway.

I was rooted, running CWM, and CleanROM 3.5. I went into recovery and flashed the stock rom and it automatically downloaded and installed the update even though i had a custom recovery. After the update was complete I lost root and had stock recovery. The official ATT 4.1.2 update is way slower than CleanROM 3.5 so Im rooting and flashing back. Also cant customize toggles like the international 4.1.2.

Interesting. I am running root stock with twrp. I removed root, but still have custom recovery (twrp). Flashing the update fails due to ro.secure==1 or something.
Did you do anything at all to prep for the update, maybe ta or hide root?

Hello,
I am currently rooted through odin I guess. I got rooted through the computer. A program rooted my phone I think it was odin. Anyways I have flashed jedi 12 and new modem before. I did not like it. I went back to my stock rom with root. but the modem stayed the same.
I am currently in 4.1.1 with baseband T889UVBMB4 which was the updated modem. what I want to do is keep root but update to 4.1.2. I want to keep stock rom if possible with new themes flashed (if possible)

Whoa, this has got to be one of the most unorganized forums on the internet. LoL, sorry, its just soooo hard to find clear, up to date info, that I had to make a thread here.
I basically decided its time to update my phone and I want to root it, mainly to get battery savings and stop google from running all those apps in the background (who knows what info they are gathering).
Anyways, like the title states,
I'm on Tmobile, with a M919 on 4.3 with MK2, I would like to go to kitkat and root and NOT TRIP KNOX, if possible.
I'd also be interested in custom roms, if possible, like CyanogenMod... But of course, I'd like to keep my warranty, as I've already had to use it once, and I still have 2 whole months left and wifi is acting up (I get a lot of unstable wifi messages recently, didn't check my router yet but my laptop is working fine....)
Your help is appreciated.

cool thanks, I will read up on safe root, but it looks like it may work. So once I'm rooted, I can install any rom right, even the 4.4.2 with knox removed and it would be fine right? And also the NB4 modem as well, and any kernel too?
My wife is hesistant to switch with me now because of the wifi unstable issue I have. I think I may have fixed it by clearing the Wifi Direct and Wifi Direct apps cache and data. Hopefully it is only a software problem, and not a hardware problem.
oyyy, after further reading, this does root the phone, but doesn't unlock the bootloader, and without an unlocked bootloader you cannot install custom roms, but I still didn't read if I can install another modem or another kernel???
what about towelroot? Does that unlock the bootloader?
tried towelroot on 4.3...
didn't work
updated to 4.4.2,
still doesn't work
ughhh
ohhh well, I guess I will switch phones with wife...
Lol. You can still download custom ROMs with a locked bootloader. If you do flash the NB4 modem you will definately trip KNOX. If you flash a non stock kernel you will trip KNOX and if you flash a custom recovery you will trip KNOX.

I finished setting up my old phone for my wife. I "Turned off" many of the apps that are installed that we never use, so her battery should do ok on 4.4.2
I just did towelroot on her phone, and it has instant root access, no reboot required or anything. Root Checker says I have root already. yay. Now I guess I need to update with modded firmware. Is there any particular order I have to install stuff?
Can I start with the rom, then modem, then kernel or is there a particular order I need to install stuff. And what should I use, odin or what?

You can flashbin any order. Some ROMs come with a kernel that they recommend but you can flash a different one if you prefer. If you DL Titanium Backup from the play store you can freeze any unwanted apps completely instead of just turning them off.

Thanks, I searched and found out that TWRP is the way to go. I used flashify to install it and I was able to flash the new rom. Works good. I also got call recording to work, but not with wifi calls, is that something that never worked or its just a bug in my phone? I'm thinking of trying other roms to see if they got call recording with wifi calls, but that would take a lot of time.
I also did install the NB4 modem flash (twice like the instructions said) and its good, got 2 extra bars (but I doubt my signal got any better, they just want you to see more bars)

Hi All,
I purchased my Note 4 from Swappa, it already came in with Knox 0x1 (4) but it was restored back to stock everything. I recently upgraded to 5.1.1 (via Official OTA) and Sprint has turned my phone into an Ad Beacon. I get all sorts of stuff get installed from Sprint Zone to Avatars for Voicemail and a ton of apps that I need out of my phone.
I decided to try the CF-Auto-Root method. This worked for me in the past with my Note II. Well, I was not so lucky this time. I booted to Download Mode, ran Odin, and PDA installed the autoroot TAR.
I got the red pirate droid screen, and then the phone rebooted. Since then it's been stuck in a reboot loop over and over.
Is my phone bricked? I realize I made a very dumb mistake by doing this now. Because I need my phone the next 2 days and I might have to call Sprint and have them re-activate one of my dumb phones if I can't figure this out.
Question is, is the phone done for? Or is there a way I can bring it back from the dead? I am currently download what I think is the stock FW for the Note 4 (5.1.1) from Sammobile. Its going at 200kb/s so It won't finish for another 2 hours. Only problem is. I have no idea what to do with this file once I get it.
If someone here can please point me in the right direction. I'd greatly appreciate it.
CF autoroot does not work on 5.1.1....odin stock sprint rom and then flash a custom rom with root baked in the rom...recommend Sprint HybridX ver3 as it has anything you could want in a rom and is very stable...you'll need to install custom recovery such as TWRP to flash the custom rom

It's doing it's thing at the moment.
I tried flashing TWRP earlier, but had no luck. Could you please point me at any resource that can help me get that? Assuming this stock I'm using will work.
EDIT: It finished, rebooted. Now stuck at the Sprint Spark screen for about 5 minutes now.
EDIT2: It's preparing device for first time use. Looks like the stock made it through.
Just need to know how to flash TWRP at this moment and if you can kindly point me to that HybridX ROM I'd be grateful!
Go to XDA developer (install app from playstore) and the go to sprint samsung galaxy note4 forum under android development and find sprint hybrid x rom thread...at the beginning of thread are all the file downloads you'll need and instructions to install....when you're done give @tx (the developer) a thank you...he's an awesome developer and creates the best roms out there for our devices.

I'm just confused regarding Deodexed vs Nondeodexed roms. What's the difference? That's my last obstacle in my way.
Again, I appreciate your help.
Odexed is for performance and deodexed is for mods...deodexed alittle slower but highly customizable (themes..5way boot...etc.)...odexed is fast but can't customize.

So unfortunately I rebooted from TWRP after testing that it works and I'm back to the boot loop.. I get the Sprint logo and it keeps rebooting....
When I was in TWRP, before I rebooted it asked it I wanted to installed SuperSU and I agreed. Could that have done it?
Does that mean I need to reflash again?
Possibly incompatible...you flashed a stock rom and tried to add SU without root....reflash stock...and then flash the Hybrid X rom if you want root and SU as they are baked into the rom so when you reboot you'll have everything you need...no need to add anything else.

EDIT: I can't really tell at this point. Whenever I reboot. I see the LTE logo. I ran the browser real quick managed to load a page fast. But lost the signal and went back to 3G. I'll have to give this a full day of testing before I judge it.
That being said, I got rid of all the Sprint junk and I think the phone runs a bit faster. So thank you for all your help!
You're welcome...and the lte/3g will switch back and forth depending on the available signals inorder to maintain the most stable data connection for your location....not to worry....you probably won't even notice the difference other than the icons

I had this same thing happen to me. My phone is stuck in a boot loop. Where do I get the file I need to flash to restore everything back to normal? I'm inexperienced in rooting so any help would be appreciated.

You'll need Beastmode kernel and SuperSU zip links from that post. There's also notes that will help if you continue to experience boot loops.

Easy Root for SM-G900T1 klte (Any Device) Lollipop 5.0-5.1.1 or CFAutoRoot btloop fix
Will work on any device. So I was having the same issue and had actually just wasted 2 whole days trying to root my S5 with the 5.1.1 and couldnt seem to find a working download link for the 4.4.2 Gingerbread so being the stubborn ass I am when it comes to hacking and finding faster alt. solutions by like editing script or binary persay. So out of irritation and many times flashing back to my previous firmware lol I had a crazy idea. I used the CF Auto Root and sure enough bootloop, but....then I thought well I need the TWRP recovery if I wanna try and maybe manually update or swap the boot.img or security protocol somehow so I flashed TWRP recovery and all I had to do to end the bootloop was install update from ext sdcard<SuperSU v1.65 update which it just so happens I coincidentally copied and pasted onto my sd card (via sd card adapter in laptop or the mass storage mode when hooked to usb) and boom it booted up and started perfect as if I didnt even have Lollipop 5.1.1 lol made my night/morning at 6 am previously frustrated and about to give up. So to sum it up....
1. Download/Install: Odin v3.10.6
2. Download/OdinFlash: CF Auto Root
3. Download/OdinFlash: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-klte
4. Download: SuperSU-v1.65-update
5. Recovery Reboot
6. Install Update: SuperSU-v1.65-update
slide to flash it, wipe Dalvik cache, reboot normally and wahlah you've now rooted you Galaxy S5 klte on Lollipop 5.1.1 and up (when they update the klte this method should still work guaranteed due to the fact its more of a technical loophole in the firmware than the exploit package itself)
