[Q]Where can I get stock recovery?

I have searched the forums but cant find anything on this for my phone. I just find the CMW recovery. I found one stock recovery in the S3 Toolkit named "recovery-stock-xxalj4-i9305.tar" but don't wanna flash something thats not for my phone.
Does the stock firmware from Sammobile restore recovery or something since its not mentioned any download links to any stock recoveries anywhere?
I'm gonna get rid of the counts and modified status so need a stock recovery to flash after reseting it with Triangle away.
My I9305N info:
Baseband: I9305NXXALI8
Build: JRO03C.I9305NXXALIA

[ODIN][TAR] I9505G Stock Recovery

Here are ODIN flashable, signed stock recovery images. Need to install an OTA but have TWRP, CWM, or some other custom recovery installed? You've come to the right place. Flash the recovery image from the version you're trying to update and you're good to go.

Noob question - which slot do we put this in to flash in ODIN? AP? I've never flashed just a recovery before.
(I'm in v3.09 so my options are PIT, BL, AP, CP, CSC, and UMS appears greyed out).
Thanks!
Edit - I'm an idiot. I did flash TWRP a long time ago and used PDA, which appears to have been renamed to AP. I would assume all recoveries will be flashed in PDA/AP so you can ignore my question.

Flash MFD Stock Recovery
I have been trying to install the OTA 4.3 and beyond. The phone keeps nagging me about installing 4.3 but it always fails. I figured out that it probably fails because I am running TWRP recovery. I downloaded the MFD Stock Recovery from SamuriHL's post to fix the stock recovery issue but I just noticed that my Baseband is I337MVLUAMDJ. That appears to be part of a Canadian firmware? My Kernel Version is 3.4.0-440244, [email protected] #160, Tue Jun 11 02:07:59 CDT 2013. I don't know if this kernel and baseband goes with the MFD Build. SamuriHL can you explain if this configuration is correct? The phone seems to work without issues in this configuration except for not being able to do OTA updates.
My question: Should I download and install the full stock firmware and recovery so the phone is completely stock? If so, SamuriHL can you supply a link to the complete firmware so I can make it a full stock phone?
I really appreciate your help. :fingers-crossed:

You should look in the forum. I've already provided the full stock images.

Need stock for Good For Enterprise - Unroot
I have Google Edition S4 in the US and need to unroot it as my work Good For Enterprise won't unlock with it rooted. I am assuming if I push one of these images, it will unroot, right? Two questions. I am unsure which one I should choose and how do I get back to 4.4.4 so I can get OTA updates in the future?
Sorry Partial Noob.

Um, nope. This won't help you in the least. You should install SuperSU from the play store and then use it's full unroot option.

How I downgraded my baseband/fixed 4.4.2 lag

Background: I had updated to OA1 4.4.4 on s5 900A. I had some issues, so I decided to downgrade as described in the upgrade thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120.
I would downgrade by flashing in odin the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar, as well as the G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel, rerooting with towelroot, installing safestrap, and flashing one of the many 4.4.2 roms.
However, upon boot all of the 4.4.2 roms would be laggy, I would sometimes get a green/pixilated effect on the lockscreen when unlocking, and battery life would be sub par. I came across this app on play store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en , and even though I had downgraded the kernel, the bootloader read as OA1, even after flashing in Odin the ND3 stock kernel.
I believed that was causing the issues I was having, and was under the impression that the bootloader could not be downgraded. In a fit of frustration I did the following, and fixed the problem!
Solution:
This is not a step by step, but a rough approximation of what I did, if you need more detail, just ask.
1. I downloaded and put on my SD card G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934525665
2. In odin 3.09 I flashed G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464416,
3. Also in the AP slot I flashed G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464356
3. My phone was unrooted at this time. I let it boot up, downloaded the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to the phone from the playstore, opened and my bootloader remained OA1. The camera was normal, and the boot was slow, so I was where I was many times before.
4. I shut down the phone, I rebooted holding volume up, power and start until I got to the standard, built in samsung recovery.
5. I located my download of G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip, and flashed it via the samsung recovery. It took about 5 minutes.
6. The phone rebooted, and the phone info app said I had and NG3 baseband! It had downgraded! However, towel root was not compatible.
7. I flashed in odin G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel again. Now towelroot rooted the phone. I installed busybox and superuser from the playstore, then safestrap again.
Now I can flash any of the 4.4.2 roms, none of the slowbooting, stuttering lockscreen or battery issues seem to be present, and Phone INFO ★Samsung★ has my baseband and bootloader as NG3.
All credit goes to muniz_ri, these are all his tools! I just stumbled across this method and thought others might benefit.

I can confirm this.
I was on OA1 after flashing OA1 OTA zip from recovery.
Later, I downgraded by flashing G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar. Bootloader after this was OA1.
Flashed G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip from recovery. Bootloader and baseband changed to NG3.
Bootloader and Baseband version was verified using 'phone info' app from play store.

Likewise, just did it, I found with me, the OTA zip file would not install with the ND3 kernel installed. So I did the original odin downgrade to NCE, booted, then the OTA zip file, booted, Then the ND3 kernel Tar file in odin. Worked .Good luck:good:

so the nce to ng3 downgrade goes in the ap or BL?

NCE. to NG3. OTA zip is done in original recovery by pressing power + volume up + home key. Then install update from Sd external.

was on Muniz 5.0, downgraded to xtreme dynamic kitkat. Still had oa1 bootloader, and was laggin really bad on boot.
Flashed this in stock recovery (wipes data part ) and reloaded my apps.
All seems to be well, without the need to go back to stock in between.

Thank you - this totally worked for me and got rid of the lag in my 4.4.2 ROM (XDK) as I had taken the upgrade to 4.4.4 way back when!

Hi,
do you do step 2 & 3 at the same time?
which field in Odin do you put the .tar file?
Thanks,

I'm not sure. Sounds like the reactivation was locked before you downgraded. I'm not sure how to fix that.

[Q] Need some help, please...

Well, I tried flashing CWM on my T mobile Note 4, and it never worked. I used Odin, and while it said it worked, I still get stock recovery. HOWEVER, when I check for OTAs, my phone says it has been modified and I need to use Kies. I'm on stock firmware and haven't even rooted, so wold it be posible, much less safe, to update via Kies when lollipop rolls out? I haven't deleted any stock apps, and as previously stated am on stock firmware and recovery and am
not rooted.

I'm not that familiar with Kies, but for sure you will be able to update by Odin flashing the Lollipop firmware once it gets posted. Your CWM flashing may have worked but then the recovery got overwritten at boot by the stock ROM. But unfortunately that would trip your Knox flag and give you 'modified' status. If you try flashing CWM again, uncheck auto reboot, and then try booting straight into recovery.

questions:
1.) How did you flash CWM without root? If you attempted this with ODIN you tripped KNOX and therfore voided the warranty and the abilitity to get an OTA.
2.) If you already have ODIN installed and know how to flash with it why bother with Kies and/or OTA's? You can use ODIN to flash the update as soon as it is posted only. With this dev community it shouldn't take too long.
Also if you are looking to use a custom recovery you should work with TWRP. Technically CWM and Philztouch are no longer being support. Finally if you already tripped KNOX by trying to flash custom recovery, why not just root the thing now. There really isn't much of a different now.

hi thank you, i tried this but now it is stuck on galaxy s5 logo with unlocked padlock. and there no reboot , just stay the phone on. no way to switch off except take out the battery.
please advise

Mine was like this and I also tried the above to no avail....the only way I found around it was to take it in to ATT store and have them "re-flash the Lolipop update" Wiped my phone but it works, now I just have to wait (patiently) for root exploit for the OTA 5.0.
