I have recently installed kitkat on my f240k and i want to install CWM so my question is : Can i install it? and if so How?
I tried Freegee but it says its not compatible with my software version and i dont know another way i can install it.
Sorry if this has been already asked but i didnt find the answer i was looking for.
Thankyou for your time.
For now you can't you must wait or install 4.1.2 with kdz

I was wondering if I used the Freegee project app from the play store to flash CWM can I use that version to flash the CyanogenMod 10.2 without any problems? I know it says use a loki-fied version but I can't find where that is located at.

If you were rooted and used freegee to install CWM recovery. You are good freegee installs a lokified version of CWM.
Therefore CWM applies the Loki patch for you when you go yo flash a ROM.

Thank you, I wanna use CWM instead of TWRP cause it won't let me tap in anything other then install and once I'm there I still can't select anything.

Hey guys,
if i ''restore with backups'' with the freegee tool ,does that mean that cwm recovery is uninstalled or does it just lock the bootloader?
If i do that is any way to see that the phone has custom recovery and not the original?(its for warranty issues)
i want just to lock the bootloader and then unroot it..finally i will do a factory reset.
The reason im asking is that im a bit of noobie and the whole ''kdz revert to stock'' process i a bit scary to me
Thanks in advance!

For warranty reasons simply use this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
Also Freegee doesn't 'unlock' the bootloader, it simply flashes custom recovery that patches the boot partition so that we don't brick our phones. It's actually just a bypass. Virtual Machine if you wish to call it that I guess.

Pls explain what do you mean "no CWM anymore"?
Do you see the stock recovery?
You still could flash CWM or TWRP (another recovery, my favorite I'd say) from ODIN. You need a PC with Windows XP/7/8 and Samsung USB drivers installed to do it. Instructions are available in Q&A.
I initially had cwm installed and my root was working fine.
After I got the 4.3 update via CyanogenMod I updated my phone.
It went well. But I realized that i had lost my root options so whenever I opened super su it said that there's no binary installed and that I'll have to re root again.
So I was like maybe I should just root it again with the method I used first too root my phone ( when it was running on stock ). So I used the same Odin and rooted it. Although it said it was successful the root was still unavailable.
Well I lost interest in that and I got a another update from cm and when I tried to install it I couldnt. My cwm had gone. I tried re installing it with ROM manager but it wouldn't work... I don't know what to do.

I know this is a dumb noob question, but I rooted my s3 with cf autoroot and after updated supersu root works fine and knox is removed but i want to install the cm11 4.4 rom, 2?s, im still on stock recovery, can I install cm11 without flashing twrp or cm recovery and also since i had the 4.3 update will cm11 brick my phone? I was told it tries to flash the bootloader and I know thats prob a bad idea.
thanks,

I see cm11 in goo manager, just dont wanna click it and brick it LOL, anyone know if it would be safe?
Install a custom recovery first. Then flash the zip in the recovery. You'll be fine and should not brick. I've done the same

How do I get the OTA Kit-Kat with a rooted v 4.1.2 ? I have SuperSu for the Superuser app and see no option to do a temp unroot (if that will even work for the OTA update).
I have managed to stay out of trouble so far, the OTA update downloads and tries to install - then I get the error "Root suspected" during the beginning of the update process. I can just turn off and on and everything is fine. I would like KitKat, but I'm seeing so many threads saying the At&T Optimus G Pro (E980) with the 4.1.2 ROM is exempt from most of the tricks supplied here for this unit. I don't know how I managed to finally root it, I tried 5 methods then went back to the first one I tried that failed before and it worked the second time. I think it was a wrong ADB version running on my laptop.
Any tried and true methods to get KitKat for this beast and still have root? Thanks.

How do I flash the AT&T KK ? Is the official ROM here, or where is it downloaded to the phone so I can copy to SD card or PC?
Just to be sure we are on the same page, you are referring to LG Flashtools, correct?
Please take it easy on this newbie! I don't know all the acronyms, to me there is nothing quite simple about it!
