I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser.
But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery.
I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont.
Why is this happening ?
Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .
Thanks in advance

Since you already have superuser. Why not install via Rom manager or install twrp
Recovery doesn't stick for some weird reason when flashing through Odin on that firmware

Thats weird...so you can reboot into custom recovery a few times and eventually it goes back to stock? Or can you only boot custom once then it reverts?
First, look for these files and if there, delete or rename them.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Then reinstall recovery and see if it works now.
If theyre not there, good!....well maybe!
Have you tried any other method of installing recovery?
Try using my favorite tool, Mobile Odin.
Free lite version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
(Dont forget to download the flash kernel further down the page)
Or buy full version on play store.
Download twrp here:
http://d-h.st/pNQ
Rename to recovery.img
Open Mobile Odin and tap Recovery and select that file.
Do not wipe.
Tap and confirm Flash Firmware.
Let me know how that goes.

You may have selected the option to just flash the insecure boot image + root + install busybox. You can go back and flash just the recovery or flash it using Goomanager from the Play Store

Thats what someone else told me but that didnt work either.

I don't suppose you would care to elaborate?
Okay, i went through the toolkit and tried the all in one. It went through for the root and everything seemed good. Then it said to do the recovery through ODIN which I did but everytime i boot into recovery, it's the stock recovery.
Oh. Go into recovery before the phone has a chance to reboot.
I got it finally. I restored the phone then tried it again and it worked fine. Thank you all.

Morning,
Loving the site, tons of stuff..Almost to much lol Anyway, so just getting into rooting. I used option 2 of simple lifes rooting guide. Now I want to run the jedi13 rom, but I cant figure out how to flash the rom because of the way the phone boots... pretty easy rooting process, but now I can't figure out how to flash the rom or re root due to the new initial boot directory when I vol+ home pwr up the phone... I've looked through tons of guides, but still no luck :banghead:

After rooting the device, did you install a custom recovery? you can download goo manager in the play store and install TWRP recovery and reboot to it. If you already have the recovery installed and cant boot to the recovery then use adb to reboot it. Or another way is download terminal emulator and reboot using command lines from you for...only if you have root.
are you on stock or non stock recovery .. And to get into download mode . As far as i know from a off state hold down vol down and power button . to get into down load mode and its vol up to recovery ..
Not tried on my note but its how it goes on the note 10.1 tablet and other samsung devices i have had

Negative, only stuff I installed after the root was superSU and titanium backup.. both of the paid versions. .. When I power up holding vol+ Home Power instead of any upload option I just get the following
Reboot sys now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Tried wipe data/factory reset to clear the root mod (multi-csc), but basically just wiped my phone of everything else except the root, lol, so at that point I figured I should ask for help..

that is the stock recovery. You need to get root again since u factory reset it. Once u get superSU go to play store and download goo manager to install TWRP or if you prefer CWR then install rom manager.

You don't have to reroot after a factory reset, these aren't iphones (unless you just mean download supersu again) But everything else is correct

goo manager is to install TWRP recover. Open it up and and press the menu button and you see the option to install TWRP recovery.

copy your desired rom to the SDcard or internal storage and the open goo manager up again and choose reboot to recovery.

reboot again and hold vol up home and power until samsung appears then let go of power, but still hold home and vol up until recovery comes up. from there you can select to install zip ,which would be your rom. make sure to do a clean install (factory data wipe, wipe cache) Then use the instructions the op has up from where you downloaded the rom. should be good to go.

I'll tackle that when I get home from work in an hour and have a computer to post on, just in case. Xda is blocked here at work ...damn government firewalls:thumbdown: Do I still keep the rom zipped when I transfer it to the phone if I'm using goo manager as compared to Odin. ..?

You can flash TWRP without ODIN if your phone is rooted.
Go to the playstore and download "goomanager" a free app
and click the menu softkey on left side of phone then select
"flash open recovery script".
Then wait til it gets done and when it's done just reboot the phone.
That's the easiest way to do it and TWRP is way better than cwm.
Good luck!
Awesome thank you so much you da best

Would it be possible to root using the ping-pong root method, then use flashify to flash twrp img?
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm sure you can, but that would definitely trigger Knox and would void your warranty. You might be able to also flash a ROM using FlashFire which is supposed to be even better and doesn't require a custom recovery. In fact, if you eliminate the boot and kernel elements from whatever rom you're flashing, you could still remain under warranty (not tripping knox).
Thanks, but I really was not to worried about knox, just wanted a way with out apc.

Yes it definitely is possible, that's how I rooted and installed twrp. Nothing like being able to root and flash twrp without using a PC!

I also need the recovery.img file. When I open flashify and try to choose the image file I downloaded it is greyed out and won't let me select it. Any ideas? I have tried downloading twrp through the flashify app and the S6 edge isn't on the download links.

I tried flashify, softbricked, took forever to get it back running as im on a mac, and having to use a VM and what not getting everything set up and the right Odin, right files, stock firmware, took me literally all night to get up and running again, and yet i still cant get twrp working on this damn phone.
Try this:
1. Download twrp recovery and zip it with the installer script. Make sure it's named recovery.img
2. Install flashfire
3. Flash twrp update zip with flashfire
4. Hopefully boot into twrp!
This is how I got TWRP installed.
