You cannot flash a custom recovery or custom ROM on the i537 because the bootloader is locked.

Hi im a tmobile user and have a locked bootloader I rooted and installed a.custom recovery
on my phone but every time I install a custom Rom I get soft brick I've done this three times
I've followed the direction but still the same thing I have no idea what else to do
Okay so first, download ftf and flash it using Flashtool. Then you can go back to pure stock:thumbup:

Ok I am not an expert but first thing is if u are flashing a custom kernel then your bootloader must be unlocked.Since you have a locked bootloader so u have to flash recovery for locked bootloaders only else ur phone will not boot.Also being on a locked bootloader, u cannot flash roms like aosp(cm,aokp,pac etc.) U can only flash stock based roms which don't require u to flash custom kernels.

Oh I didn't think about that possibility... I thought he was just trying to flash stock based ROMs.

He didnt mention that.So maybe he was trying to flash custom kernel without unlocking bootloader.
I m sure it will help

Why you wanna downgrade?
Anyway, before any downgrade process, be sure to wipe all data.
If you don't wipe data you will have problems with nfc firmware causing in a bootloop

only way to get root with lp on lb is to flash a preerooted firmware.
You can create your own rooted firmware with pfr creator.

The only way is to use FlashTool and a stock kitkat rom.

Hello, anyone can you help me ?
i have a problem with my phone,
i have s4 active sgh-i537 ROM lollipop (I537UCUCOC6) and Rooted (succes with kingroot).
and now, how to install TWRP/CWM ?
i try to flash all version TWRP and CWM for s4 active via ODIN but always failed. i try flash .img file via app TWRP Official, Rashr, Flashify and failed again
can s4 active sgh-i537 install TWRP or CWM ? need to UBL ?
if not, how to fix my problem ?
Thankyou for help, and sorry for bad english.
The i537 had a locked bootloader, it is not possible to flash custom recovery. You can only flash 2 ROMs in the development section through FlashFire. If you want an unlocked bootloader you need to buy the i9295.

True, but I doubt this is would help him accomplish his goal in the end. Yes it is recovery, but if he is trying to install one of the ROMs meant for the i9295 he's going to be out of luck.

Very true. But I prefer safestrap over flashfire, because its safer in the long run.
