[Q] bootloader flashing

First of all i want to say HI!
I am plannning to flash Xtrestolite rom for my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900f Kitkat version [rooted already]. It says "Make sure you're on an recent Lollipop Bootloader/Firmware".
Q: can i flash lollipop bootloader on my SGs5 KITKAT version?
It also says "Make sure you have an custom recovery installed (I advise you to use the custom TWRP version by @ktoonsez)"
I can't find this custom twrp by ktoonsez on google search.
This is my first time to flash a custom rom. Please help me. . Thank you so much

Hi, you can look this page:
androidrootz.com/2014/04/how-to-root-galaxy-s5-recovery-root.html
To install a costum ROM you have to obtain root and costum recovery on your phone.
I had Galaxy S2 and the procedure was similiar... you have to download Odin (Samsung program to flash firmware and other system file), PhilZ recovery (a costum recovery) and SuperSU (root app).

thanks for your help

i am very curious to know that when i flash a new rom it don't wipe my recovery even all things wiped but recovery doesn't. So i want to know why ?
where the recovery situated in android so that it can't wipe while flashing a new rom. ?
hope u will help.
Thank you all.

Hello..
I think ist better for you to install a custom recovery frist
after that you can make a nandroid backup using the custom recovery...this is important..because you will messed up..it will event android guru messed up their device once a whaile..
after you have the nandroid backup..you can flash any custom ROM for your devices..to find a devices please use the search bar at the top..
after you gain enough knowlage to build a custom ROM you can compile it for your devices..but for starter I highly recommend you to use any custom ROM for your device first

Thanks for your reply brother.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Trying to install a custom recovery or custom rom not designed for your phone is likely to brick it so I wouldn't recommend it. There is no custom recovery for your device on xda but here is an excellent guide if you would like to try yourself
