[RECOVERY] Odin Flashable ClockworkMod Recovery Images

I am a MadTeam developer and I recently acquired this phone. I noticed that there weren't any Odin flashable ClockworkMod recoveries of the latest versions for this device, so I made my own and decided to share with you guys. This possibly may be helpful for new comers and also for people who may want to update their recoveries to touch recoveries without having to purchase the pro version of ROM Manager. I'll be sure to keep this thread up-to-date.
These are based off of the official ClockworkMod recovery images available at http://www.clockworkmod.com with no changes whatsoever.
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.5: http://www.mediafire.com/?wjm90gwjcvg4ccc
ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.5: http://www.mediafire.com/?bpr3dd11747zgcc
Flashing Instructions:
1. Open up Odin3 v1.85. Make sure only the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" boxes are checked and nothing else.
2. Connect your phone to the computer in Download Mode. Odin should now detect your phone.
3. Select the PDA button and navigate to the desired recovery tar.
4. Press the "Start" button. It will now flash the updated recovery to your device. Your device will reboot upon completion.

Reserved.

Thanks, now when we say, Odin flash CWM, we can speak of flashing the latest one instead of the old 5.xx!

Thank you for doing this. I'm sure it will help some people out.

F. Reset Time
What does "F. Reset Time" do and is this required?

Honestly not sure if needed but I've always had it checked and nothing bad had happened.

I stall out on flashing recovery image. Here's what I get. I'm using a tar where I manually swapped in the recovery image on my own.

And it just stalls. The screen of the phone appears as if nothing happened. I don't see the progress bar or anything.
Odin shows the first blue bar of the progress bar but it never goes beyond that.
Any help?
EDIT - it worked fine using one of the tars from this thread. So what am I doing wrong when substituting a recovery image on my own?

Hey thanks mate.
I tried flashing the latest TCWM via Rom Manager, and I guess the download got interrupted and it had a bad flash.
Ah well, not a big deal, but you saved me from having to go back to stock to unbrick it.

thanks for this its awesome to be updated and when i need it i will report lol

ClockworkMod Recovery for Galaxy S4 Active (int'l)[Unofficial]

---------------------Warning!-----------------------------------------
This CWM recovery is for SGS4A (int'l) ONLY. Does not work on SGS4 from AT&T as it has a locked bootloader.
Please refer to this thread for a bounty on the bootloader.
---------------------Instructions for flash with ODIN---------
Download ODIN 3.09 from here.
Download CWM recovery from here.
Extract the zip so you have the file CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5.
Restart your phone while holding the Volume Down button as the phone is booting.
Press the Volume Up button to continue past the warning.
With the phone attached to your computer open ODIN and press AP.
Choose CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5 and press start.
Reboot system
If you already have another version of CWM recovery installed, you can alternatively download CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2_zipFLASH.zip and flash it through CWM recovery.
As always, I take no responsibility in case your phone blows up.

When im right, and you had a custom recovery from chainfires Auto-Root, you can flash my flashable zip. It makes it mouch easier. I cant test it, but i mean it sould work.

I'm sorry,but I'm not sure what you're saying... What zip? What is easier?
EDIT: Ah, now I think I get your post. You might be able to flash with the twrp manager, but the twrp recovery UI itself doesn't work, which is why we need to flash cwm in the first place.

I think this is a recovery. I made flashable Zip of yours/this. So you can flash it through the recovery which you get from auto root. Or did the recovery from auto root doesnt work? If not, forget what i post.:silly:

CF-Auto-Root included not an Custom Recovery for installing ZIPs or so.
You can make a tar for flashing over Odin!? But not with a ZIP .... if the CWM works... you can flash newer version over the cwm!
I have made on tar for flashing over Odin... untested!!! I wait for my deveice so i can not test it!
Its the Recovery from Thread Opener!
@LeJay from where you got this Recovery?
Unpack the ZIP once.. then but it in Odin to PDA and flash it!

Compiled it myself. Kernel is the prebuilt from stock. It's a bit hackish, but it does the job while I try to get CM running.

Can I flash the zip using flash gordon ?

Im rooted the activeroot wat by geohot

This Is only for the international version. The at&t version has a locked bootloader

So, it's a little buggy but at least it gets the job done in case anyone wants to play with roms. The screen only updates for every second key press, but with a little care you can navigate around. Backup, restore and zip flash works fine. Only fat on external sd card.
It's a little hacky, but works. Although, please don't yell at me if anything goes wrong with your phone. This is baby steps towards custom roms. If you don't know what you're doing stay away from this.

It doesn't work with exfat, which I think is samsungs standard if you format on device.
I have flashed different roms but they all suffer from black screens. Need to recompile with the proper kernel. I've been trying to get cm10 working with the kernel from samsung, but I'm running into problems. Not that experienced with this, so progress is a little slow as I figure out how these things work.

I didn't root the device, CWM offers to root it if you need.
I have no idea why it doesn't work for you, may be there are several modifications of i9295 with different display parameters.

Recompiled CWM with kernel sources. Should work a lot better with proper adb support and no issues with the user interface.

That worked. User interface now works. Still getting "warning no file_contexts" error. Is that a problem?
Also, when you go to reboot, you get the warning about the system trying to reflash stock recovery. If you select "Go Back" It still reboots for some reason.
Thanks for all your hard work.

What you will need
1> philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar.md5

2>[GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root
http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip
3>DrKetan_MultiTool_AdvanceV6.zip
http://d-h.st/MTB
4>Odin 3.4* (this is the version i have & tested)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703998
5>Samsung device drivers
Step 1
> boot into download mode
start odin3 as administrator and put philz_touch_xxx.md5 into PDA
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
Phone should restart after the process.
Step 2
>Put "DrKetan_MultiTool_AdvanceV6.zip" into external memory and Reboot to Philz recovery
Now flash Multi tool using "instal zip from external sd"
Now go to Aroma file manager>System>App
Now add .bak extension to all knox related apk files Ex-Knox.apk > Knox.apk.bak
NOTE- make sure you don't change anything else you are only supposed to rename knox related apk files
Now exit Aroma and reboot ( don't do anything else)
Step 3
>- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
after your phone boots it will show "Unfortunately super SU stopped working" Ignore it and go to step 4
Step 4
>Reboot to recovery (Philz), [ If CF auto root has activated your stock recovery do the STEP 1 again to get the Philz recovery ]
Now flash "DrKetan_MultiTool_AdvanceV6.zip" again
And this time go to
Proceed with Multi tool > Skip root inject page (do not change system status) > now in the next page you get to select if you want to remove knox from the system so now Select to remove knox from system and then save and reboot. ( This will disable all the knox related stuff in the system)
after your phone boots it will show "Unfortunately super SU stopped working" Ignore it and go to step 5
Step 5
>So now just go to Play store and update your Super SU and open it and it might ask you weather to instal script in NORMAL mode or CWM
i did CWM and it worked, didn't try normal mode so i suggest you to try CWM as well.
That's it you're permanently rooted and Superuser will act as a system app
Now your Super SU should be working
Now if you want the best battery life and more free ram Please follow my guide on how to do that

Try downloading Root checker or titanium backup and see if they work, They should work.
I'm not exactly sure if this would work for everyone but this worked for me so i just shared it with everyone hoping this would help others. And i will not be help responsible for any damage that cause, try it at your own risk .. anyway rooting and everything is risky so if you're up for it only try it.

NOTE- If you factory reset the phone it will show you that "super user stopped working" o something like that, Just hit ok and open PLAYSTORE and update your superSU again and you have a Running superSU again that's it Your root is permanent Don't ever worry about that
Extra Info for Beginners You can only flash and 4.3 based roms using Philz recovery 5.xx & don't try to flash 4.4 based roms using Philz 5.xx as the flash will fail giving an Error. Use Philz recovery 6.xx to flash android 4.4 based roms
PS- You can only restore nandroid backups using philz 6.xx versions and if you restore nandroid backup using 5.xx version you will be stuck on samsung LOGO.. if u accidentally do this and stuck on samsung logo, don't panic.Press and hold power button and turn off the phone. Then boot into download mode and flash philz 6.xx via ODIN PC and restore your nandroid backup again and your phone will boot up You can flash philz 5 versions over 6 and 6 versions over 5 using odin anytime. no problem there.

EXTRA (try this if the above method doesn't work for you )
Submitted by hazin99
1st flash cf - autoroot... after rooting process over (after flashing phone restarts and starts rooting process after completion phone restarts again..)
2nd then flash philz touch.... now try it .... phone will load ur custom recovery.. then use Multi tool for deknox....
( remember dont root ur phone with multitool.. u already rooted it with cf autoroot)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Important NOTICE- This will not work if you did one or all 3 OTA updates which are specifically 14MB, 62MB and 21MB they come as system stability updates but once you update using them they activate Auto stock recovery system which will lock your recovery to the stock unless you root the device and remove the specific file from system root. So please don't give my post bad ratings or complain that this is not working if you've updated the phone using small OTA updates mentioned above.
To get rid of this problem you can flash the stock rom again and do this method without doing the OTA updates (IT will work)
If you don't have the stock 4.3 rom you can get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536423
Follow the instruction to flash , DO NOT DO OTA UPDATES after u flash it.
Now you can start the rooting procedure mentioned below and 100% guaranteed it works if you do everything as i've adviced

Yes, It counts when you flash the CWM via Odin PC
but without a custom recovery you can't use super SU as it keeps on force closing due to knox
Anyway once you root your phone your warranty is void right ? so why worry about knox counters

I thought your steps here could avoid the knox trip...
if that so, your step could be shorten to easier method...
1st... flash cf auto root by odin
2nd... update supersu apk
3rd... download root browser from playstore, and by using root browser you can change all knox app apk to apk.bak
easier n simpler...

I know, i tried so many quick methods to root mine this INU 4.3 rom and every time it failed, most of the time my root was gone after rebooting the phone , so i mixed up the info i got from many quick root methods and did it all to make a permanent root.
just posted this here to help anyone who faced the same problem like me

And even if you rename all the KNOX related apk files there are some files that doesn't directly say they are knox but they run in the system and it used to cause my Super SU to crash and that's why i have mentioned an extra step to go to Dr.Katen's toolkit and select to remove all knox related stuff, it really cleans the whole system from knox 200%

no no no... what I mean here, u r using cf auto root... so no need to flash multitools just to get rid the knox apk... I dont see rooting via cf auto root will give any prob... only that, the knox will trip...
2 steps saved here.... no need to flash custom recovery (only flash recovery if decide to flash custom rom) and no need to flash multitools...
no offence, im just giving an option here... a simpler option...

i wanted to flash a custom rom but the stock 4.3 is very battery friendly and very good in terms of ram management. if you know any rom except ditto v3.2 be sure to share

im on pheonix 16.7 now... before was on jellykatv2 and jellykatv3... also tried z ized 240dpi... it's hard for me to recommend any rom though cos they are all good... in terms of battery, yes I must admit the stock one is damn good battery save... but custom rom have extra note3 features... arrrghhhhhh im so confused which and which... battery or note3 features...

I got this to work finally using your instructions at the top of this thread - the 'easy' way didn't work of just applying the root zip (CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip) to my stock 4.3 GT-N7100 Note 2 - I kept getting the FC's on superSU and the Knox security reports.
I then followed your steps and got a lot further, Knox seemed to be removed fine. I still couldn't get the SuperSU app to update correctly, so i booted the Note 2 into the phils recovery file manager and used it to replace the existing superuser.apk file located in /system/apps/ with the one mentioned & linked to in the comments in this thread - then restarted.
This allowed me to go to the play store, and perform an 'update' on the app (prior the only option the Play store was giving me on the SuperSU app was 'open', not update) , which then worked - great
Now rooted, no knox, new bootloader and seems faster too! 1 day in and all is well.

Glad to hear that
Great that u wrote the way you did it.
It would help someone

NOTE- make sure you don't change anything else you are only supposed to rename knox related apk files
Now exit Aroma and reboot ( don't do anything else)
Step 3
>- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
after your phone boots it will show "Unfortunately super SU stopped working" Ignore it and go to step 4
Step 4
>Reboot to recovery (Philz), [ If CF auto root has activated your stock recovery do the STEP 1 again to get the Philz recovery ]
Now flash "DrKetan_MultiTool_AdvanceV6.zip" again
And this time go to
Proceed with Multi tool > Skip root inject page (do not change system status) > now in the next page you get to select if you want to remove knox from the system so now Select to remove knox from system and then save and reboot. ( This will disable all the knox related stuff in the system)
after your phone boots it will show "Unfortunately super SU stopped working" Ignore it and go to step 5
Step 5
>So now just go to Play store and update your Super SU and open it and it might ask you weather to instal script in NORMAL mode or CWM
i did CWM and it worked, didn't try normal mode so i suggest you to try CWM as well.
That's it you're permanently rooted and Superuser will act as a system app
Now your Super SU should be working
Try downloading Root checker or titanium backup and see if they work, They should work.
I'm not exactly sure if this would work for everyone but this worked for me so i just shared it with everyone hoping this would help others. And i will not be help responsible for any damage that cause, try it at your own risk .. anyway rooting and everything is risky so if you're up for it only try it.

This is for GT-N7100
All links are for GT-N7100 and I recomand philz 5.15 ..which is in the link as it is the most stable version
It doesn't support kit kat roms. If u want to flash kit kat roms u need philz 6.18
I have never tried 4.9 u mentioned

I prefer omega custom ROM. That is based from stock ROM, with more less bloatware as well. :good:

I haven't tried any custom roms on this 4.3 rom yet but Phoenix rom comes highly recomanded. DITTO rom is also good but it comes with too much bloat which consumes about 1.1 gb ram just for the system.
Try Pheonix rom. If u like

U need a small change in this steps....
Some stock roms didnt allow custom recoveries (may be the hell knox is behind this) .. its just starts its stock recovery (dont know where it comes from) instead of custom recoveries....
1st flash cf - autoroot... after rooting process over (after flashing phone restarts and starts rooting process after completion phone restarts again..)
2nd then flash philz touch.... now try it .... phone will load ur custom recovery.. then use Multi tool for deknox....
( remember dont root ur phone with multitool.. u already rooted it with cf autoroot)

Its okay if the procedure was completed...reset will change to pass by itself... After some time
If u experiencing a bootloop still
Boot into stock recovery
Wipe data(this will delete everything on internal memory including pics videos ... Etc
One workaround to save data is
Flash a custom recovery after odin flash..
Go into custom recovery
Wipe data from there.. Bingo

I have followed same proceudre, but still my phone is struck in logo only.
the only difference is, odin showed RESET and i have unplugged the device and started device in factory mode ( using power+home+volume up). After few minutes of unplug odin shows PASS.
I have wipe the data and cache before and after the ROM installation.
Please let me know if any mistake is there, and do let me know how to make my device work.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using Cosmic CM then you have to flash Evolution kernel 1.7.6 son after you flash Cosmic ROM otherwise it will cause bootloop...
Hope this helps you..

A5 2017 recovery is not seandroid enforcing ....need a litte Help

Hi to all !
,,not sure if its related to a change of account password
Due to a problem I had to change my google account password , the phone disconnected from the account asked me for the new pass , inserted and all was ok
..this evening i had to restart the phone but it doesn't switch on anymore and i got a red message on top left
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
custom binary blocked by frp lock
Tried to reinstall TWRP by Odin but get this error :

thank you !!
EDIT
forgot to mention
I have access only to Download Mode NO recovery Mode

Awwww... poor you! You found yourself in a level 3 bootloader... that means that you cannot flash unofficial binaries such as; twrp and other recoveries or so.
Try following this https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
And everything is going to be alright!!!
But first things first flash the latest firmware of your phone and then follow the steps from the link! I did it myself and it's really awesome...

Thanks for your reply
that's what i done :
reinstalled Stock recovery by Odin
then installed latest Nougat Stock ROM by Odin
All OK !
I was in mistake forcing to install a MM Rom ( stock ) but wasn't right on what version had to install ( due to some missing information regarding Phone )
So now I'm ok ..obviously lost Root access ..but have OTA updates OK
Thank You again
..for the root again I'll have a look later

You just have to wait upto 6 days for the rmm thing to reset so you can flash again stuff. If you don't want to find yourself in a bootloop or have to wait again a week flash the thing in twrp on the post I send after 6 days (then you will have the ability go flash twrp again) notice you mustn'tlet your phone die or don't restart your phone by yourself. (Better see post for further information)

.
OK !
..to be honest I'm playing wit Nougat just to see differences from MM
Not sure to reinstall a Custom ROM till I'll found a very stable one
what I'll have to do surely will be Root access ..but not at the moment

Sorry to tell you but... once you updated the bootloader you can't go back to MM... you can still flash the MM files expect the bl one in Odin but the performance will be awful

..
I dont want to go back to MM
I prefer to keep Nougat with root access in the future
Device seems OK now and restored all Apps as it was before plus some new from Nougat default
