Hello everyone.. I decided to update officially yesterday and now I just want to get a custom recovery on here so I can flash a i9505 rom.. but when I tried to use odin like usual for recovery flash.. When I boot into recovery it's the stock Samsung one. Is Is the locked bootloader preventing us from simply flashing a recovery? Anybody found a way to get a custom recovery with the latest update? Any help would be great..

You can't flash anything from stock recovery that hasn't been signed by samsung/sprint. But there are some unlock recoverys.

But most aokp roms because of bricking issues they have stock recovery so I though if devs can make some flash able rom with sign or some kind of alternative they would be a great. ( most case you don't need but when you get stuck and u don't have any computer access. )
You can flash if it is unlocked stock recovery.
Please guide me after update of firmware to 6.1.A.2.452 I will loose root?.Can I flash another firmware for stock custom rom via flashtool without unlocked bootloader?.Can I unlock my bootloader after the update?Which is the best stock custom rom and other custom rom which is easy to install & better than stock rom

Something easy is flash your new firmware and use a kernel like "Advanced Stock ICS Kernel" to root and finally reflash your stock kernel if your want its improvements, you can unlock your bootloader anytime, and the best custom room is Cyanogen, it just needs to flash an file in recovery mode.

Hi
My brother have sg3 from rogers,.. i did root on it and installed twrp ,.. we were thinking about flashing custom JB ROM, but official came out yesterday.
can we safely do OTA update, or we have to un-root it and get rid of twrp (even though i dont know how yet) )
Thanks
Not sure if you need to be unrooted, but you definitely need to be on stock rom and stock recovery.
ROM is stock, but have twrp ,... hmmm
how can i get back to stock recovery?
There is an odin package that has just the stock recovery over in dev section

Hello.
Just got this phone, i trade it for a s3.First thing im trying to do is install custom recovery..but something is wrong. i flashed the phone like 15 times with all of the recoveries, twrp, cwm, philz... and the phone always boots into the official recovery. Odin says its ok.PASS, Sucsseded 1, failed 0..
And than when i try to boot into the recovery the stock recovery shows up??
It happened on the 4.1.2, and i updated it to 4.3, official via ota, and it is the same with 4.3 too.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Are you rooted?

all official 4.3.
You're supposed to root the phone first, then flash custom recovery.

Lol, im trying that right now!
Phils recovery has a root and custom recovery in one that can be flashed with odin. Because you have done the 4.3 ota you will probably have to deal with knox now. Dr ketans guides are really helpful, you need to know what bootloader you have now.

I did it!
The solution is TO READ! What i didnt do completly
The problem was with the recovery restore files that were present. I manged to rename those files, root it and install twrp with the SkipSoft toolkit.
Im on stock image 4.3 with root. I just installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 version for 4.3 . As I was looking at the rom's the majority of them want me to be on bootloader 4.2 or 4.4 before I can use the rom. What is the safest and easiest way to get there? the last time I modded a phone was with my HD2.
sorry for the noob question. I have been out of the loop for a while.
Thanks

If I goto sammobile to download N900TUVUENK3 and flash it with odin would that give me the boat loader I need? also would I need to upgrade twrp at that point? is there a document that covers this? any help would be appreciated.
Yes just be total stock 4.3 then flash the N900TUVUENK3 rom using odin and you will be able to flash any 4.2, 4.4, or 5.0 rom available. You just have to be 100% stock to do it including recovery. After you install the new rom then you can root it and install any custom recovery you want. Thats what I did. Revert to total stock, flashed the NK3 rom, rooted, then installed recovery. After that you will have a 4.2. bootloader and will be to install any rom out there. Hope this helps you out.
