Hello, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find a recovery for this phone. It's rooted by using odin but, I don't know which recovery to install. I tried installing twrp, and cwm to flash a rom because I'm on 4.22, but only reboots not to recovery. Anyone know what to do? Thanks
Recoveries are highly specific to your exact model of S4. So can you specify which US Carrier did you get the S4 from ? Or is it the international version ?
It's att but unlocked for any gsm network. It's now connected to Metro pcs.

Twrp not working.
I already tried those methods and twrp keeps crashing, it doesn't allow it to flash.
Anyone??

Hello! First time post. I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy s5 verizon today, and this forum has proven very helpful. Now I am trying to install a custom recovery mod like TWRP or CWM because it seems this is essential for rooted users. Anyways I am new to this and don't have very advanced technical programming skills so I would really appreciate some help here. So far I've read that verizon version of this phone has strict permissions and haven't found a method for installing TWRP or CWM that works. I've done quite a bit of searcing, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be appreciated!
I've tried using the ROM manager app, TWRP manager app, and also tried to find a version of TWRP to flash. I got close with the TWRP manager but it asks me to "Ensure partition listed below is correct one for your device.... if not then you could brick...." directory is dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery is this correct? I am worried this may not be the correct method, or directory, and couldn't find my answer online.
thanks in advance
here is what i found:
galaxys5root.com has a method for installing safestrap.
worked on my galaxy s5 g900v
apparently there's still no TWRP or CWM available ?
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The Verizon S5 is indeed locked down pretty tight, you can't unlock the bootloader or install TWRP or CWM recovery. Safestrap is the way to go:

First of all, Verizon S4 lollipop has a locked bootloader so you won't be able to flash TWRP or custom ROMs.
If you can get to download mode then flash the i545 stock lollipop firmware via Odin(same as you have or newer, you can't flash any older builds than what you have because of the bootloader).
Then you'll have to use Safestrap Recovery and modified stock TW(TouchWiz) ROMs.
You can find information and instructions for all that in the two development subforums in the Verizon S4 forum linked below.

Hi ndh175
Thank you for using XDA Assist
As I own a S5 too, I will try to guide out of this. Be aware that the below procedure may erase your data completely so you should have a backup prior to start it:
A) You did not specified the S5 model you have. With that information at hand, follow the below link and find the most suitable Firmware for you. I've linked you to the G900F but you should change it if necessary:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/
B) Follow this general instructions to overcome the boot loop issue.
C) Finally, the most up-to-date Custom Recovery for your device will be found at the below Thread:

Nice regards and good luck.

Hello. Last week I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S6 when trying to install TWRP recovery. It was the wrong recovery but luckily I unbricked it by flashing the original recovery with Odin.
I really want a custom recovery on my S6 but I'm afraid I will brick it again.
Can anyone please find which recovery will work on my phone?
P.S. it's a straighttalk phone (Galaxy S6) running on android 5.0.2 lollipop and the model is the SM-S906L
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks! :good:
