Custom recovery
OFFICIAL TWRP
After testing different custom recovery options, i have found twrp 2.8.4.0-klte to be the most reliable and easy to use.
It is extremely fast, and back up / recovery has never failed. Touch works flawlessly.

Cm 12 for sm-g900r4
Cyanogenmod has begun to release nightly builds for the SM-G900R4 but as of yet, I have had no luck running these builds.
Unofficial builds are available at http://www.chronic-buildbox.com/klteusc/rel/ and the most stable, comlete build to date
is the cm-12-20150120-UNOFFICIAL-klteusc.zip build. Results are spectacular & this is my daily driver.

INSTRUCTIONS
-Download Rom Zip on Computer and then transfer to internal/external sdcard on phone
-Reboot to Recovery. Recovery is Required for this flash, like Philz or TWRP Custom Recovery. I used TWRP
-Make a backup of current setup. Always have a working backup before proceeding with any ROM flashing.
-Perform a full Wipe. Wipe Data, format /system, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache.
-Flash Rom from location on sdcard.
-reboot. after phone is setup let sit for bit to sync etc
You'll need to clean install when coming from odexed to a Deodexed ROM.

Man its about time.....been waiting for this on XDA!!!!!!

Would like a deodex'ed lollipop for this phone.

wowwww this thread is dead. well im working on deodexing stock lollipop (the latest lollipop update) but i keep getting stuck at the boot animation after the sound. I did everything right but still nothings working. Gonna need some help here, never really got into deodexing.
Update, got lollipop fully deodexed for the us cellular s5 and im proceeding to optimize it a bit and finish up the installer, will report back when its all done.

The PIT file is part of the stock firmware. Not sure how to extract it or if it can be extracted. If it can be then you would need it in the format for use with Heimdall.

Well, I did some looking around, apparently Heimdall can extract the pit via adb. Gave that a shot and it looked like it worked. I then downloaded the auto root archive in this thread and extracted it down to the cache/recovery files and attempted to flash. No such luck. I may have to use Windows as I didn't have these problems with the Verizon version of the S5. Thanks for trying to help though!
Edit: So, to my amazement, I installed twrp and it asked if I wanted to run scripts to root my phone. I made a backup beforehand and let it run the scripts. I have full root now and everything seems to be working fine. Props to the wonderful twrp devs!

[ROM]UVMA1 rooted, deodexed rom [Stock] TouchWIZ

This is for the SGH-T879 I did not de-bloat this, if you would like it de-bloated feel free to remove all the bloat using good old Win rar. Once again this is stock UVMA1 just rooted and deodexed.
Instructions;
(If you are flashing from a CM10 Build use darkside super wipe first. if you are coming from Android 4.2 or 4.3 please use Oden to Down grade first the stock Oden flashable file can be found here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T879&pcode=0#firmware then skip to the section of how to use this to root stock UMA1)
1)Boot to TWRP.
2)Select the install tab.
3) Select file.(Darkside Super wipe, then rom)
4) Wipe Cashe and Dalvik Cashe.
5) Reboot.
Note; This rom automatically does a factory reset (noob safety net), if you have a stock touchwiz UVLG image you can safely restore your data from a backup.
This ROM can be used to root UVMA1 upgrade. After upgrade use Odin to flash ClockWork MOD. Then from CWM flash TWRP. Reboot to recovery (you should now be in TWRP). Backup your data. Install this ROM. Wipe both cashes. Restore Data. You now have rooted UVMA1. If downgrading from Android 4.2 or 4.3 you may have use Oden to Downgrade first in order to prevent bootloop, it shouldn't brick your phone but why take the chance.

PS I am not a Developer, So no need to to send me cheese. This ROM was developed by Samsung. All I did is root and deodex it that's all. Although feel free to abuse the thank you button
Also due to the huge size of this file I am still looking for a permanent hosting site this one only last 7days.
As always I am not responsible if your phone
1) explodes
2) changes the nature of Algae growth
3) bricks
4) alters the time space continuum
5) turns evil and plots to overthrow the earth
6) or any other unforeseen mishap that may befall your phone due to the fact you failed to follow directions.
Give a special thanks to srpanadero for the more perminent link!

will this work on note i717 ?
In theory, it can if you replace the boot image a T717 Stock ICS Boot image using 7zip or winrar.I would still be extremely careful. Your best(TO AVOID BRICKING) bet would be running this through ROM kitchen with the T717 Stock TouchWIZ ICS as you're base ROM.

Thanks for this man. I always find myself going back to stock when I need some stability for a while. I have been getting too many reboots with CM10 lately.
No problem. I made back in March for myself, didn't know anyone else needed it until people started asking for it.

We need all the help we can get.
Apologies for the noob questions... Could you explain the advantages of the UVMA1 over the UVLG3?
All I want is stability, when I was running the stock UVLG3 I had issues where I had to task-kill to get ram over 100mb in order to have any audio on phone calls...
I'm running Jedi 4 now and it's great other than the calendar widget and wallpaper scaling.
If UVMA1 is better, would you mind reposting it somewhere? If it works I certainly don't mind donating a bit, I use my phone everyday and the people that make it work better deserve some compensation
Thank you,
Scott
No need to donate, you already did when you bought the phone (Samsung built it, I just rooted it) The UVMA1 build contains the latest radio for out phone and extra security features, according to Samsung and T-Mobile.

Can I flash this through Odin as I can only get into download mode with a USB jig.
I had TWRP and a CM rom and bricked it trying to do a restore. I tried flashing the stock through Odin (3 times) but as far as I get is the Samsung logo. Everything went smoothly with Odin start to finish but got a boot-loop.

[GUIDE][ROM FLASHING][WALK THRU] Easy to do! All Questions Welcome!

This will help anyone who keeps having flashing issues.
More detailed instructions in my GUIDE!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295557
THIS IS ONE QUICK/SIMPLE ERROR FREE ROM FLASHING PROCEDURE
This should eliminate a few posts saying, stuck in download mode, stuck at logo. just vibrates and them MANY other issues that somehow, everyone seems to find.
Here is my quick rom flashing process I use ALWAYS (yes always)
THINGS YOU NEED ON extSDCARD
1. Extra kernels (2 or 3 you know works for your device)
2. Optional: 2 recoveries that can be flashed (I use CWM & TWRP)
3. Optional: apps.zip (a zip created from Titantium BU, containing Root Explorer, TU Backup, Quickpic, ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator)
Flashing the rom: TOUCHWIZ/AOSP ROMS
1. Backup current rom (to the extsdcard)
2. Complete wipe, (I do complete, some people do not) Complete = No Issues [FACTORY RESET + CLEAR CACHE + CLEAR DALVIK CACHE + CLEAR DATA]
3. Flash the rom
4. Flash the kernel (your device kernel) (I know some roms have their own kernel) this is where your problems start.
AGAIN: FLASH YOUR KERNEL, you KNOW it works. 1 more time FLASH YOUR KERNEL. (you can experiment with other kernels after you boot)
AOSP ROMS - require you to flash gapps before you boot. [This is not required for TouchWiz roms]
5. Boot the rom.
FINISHED!!!! SUCCESS!!!
Total time to flash a rom:
7-10min
Errors - NONE
This goes for every rom in my guide.
TIPS:
This flash procedure is for Touchwiz Roms, if you are flashing AOSP roms, you must flash the gapps package associated with the rom you are flashing.
**** SGH-I337M Users: Often requires flashing a different kernel than the one included in most ATT ROMS. Any GT-i9505 kernel will work and Adam kernel and Faux kernel are both confirmed working for us Canadian users.
Note: Flash KERNEL directly after ROM then reboot device.
[Special thanks to blyndfyre for this helpful tip].
The extra recovery I flash if a rom does not like the recovery I am using.
Yes, you can flash recoveries back and forth.
Apps.zip I flash after the rom is up & running. This I use to get the rom setup (like root explorer and others needed)
I am in no way responsible for anything that may do damage to any device - Use these tips at your own risk - period!

Dualboot for i9295[a touch of Freedom] :)

IMPORTANT! This is NOT my work, all credits to the Genius chenxiaolong who made this available for all Galaxy S4 Variants
See original Thread [PATCHER][APP] Dual boot any ROM on all Galaxy S4 variants!
The Story:
I don´t like Touchwiz very much but for some Reasons I always have to come back to it. Maybe the Camera, sometimes the Allshare Features for Smart TV...Everybody has his Reasons to use/need it sometimes...
Untill today, I had to backup/restore between Sammy and Cyanogenmod a lot, It bugged me but I thought there is no choice till I found this Thread. First, I was a little afraid because there is a lot of Information in the OP and some stuff to do but then I thought, what may happen? Bootloop, Odin, Hard-brick,naaah, what´s Life without a little risk?
So I tried and it works !
If you want to do what I did, just follow these (very easy) Instructions.
Think about what your doing. This is your very own Device with your very own contract so please proceed at your very own risk! I have tested this exactly the way it is written down here and it worked. So if something goes wrong on your Device, don´t blame me or the Developer of this fantastic App!!
...Make sure your an owner of the international Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i9295) (if not, tell me what happened )
...If your on a stock Sammy Rom, make sure that you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed...
...Also, you will need to delete some System Apps to free Space for secondary Rom but please don´t ask me which. There is enough Bloatware inside but a good start for me always is "HRS Hotels", "Google Maps/Mail/Plus" and so on...
1. Download the 3 Files from chenxiaolong´s Thread (not linked but you will find it...remember, this is NOT my work!)
- Dualboot Patcher
- Dualboot Switcher App
- Dualbootutility.zip
2. Download the custom Rom of your choice. In my case, I used
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip
and official Gapps
3. Install the Dualboot Patcher and run it on your Device
4. Follow its Instructions to patch your custom Rom and, if needed, also the Gapps
5. Install the Dualboot Switcher App and run it
6. Set current Kernel as "Primary ROM´s Kernel"
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash your patched Rom File(s)
9. Reboot (the Device will NOW boot into secondary Rom!)
10. Install Dualboot Switcher App in 2nd Rom
11. Now you can choose between primary and secondary Rom to boot
12. Done
Please press THANKS in original Thread and, if you can, donate some to chenxiaolong because this is awesome!!!
Easy, isn´t it? Yes, it is. It is exactly what I was looking for because now I can use both worlds, the beautiful and the beast
English wasn´t my Mother´s language so please excuse me for mistakes you surely will find
Greetings
Thomas

At what point to flash the 2nd ROM?
Hi,
To me the instructions are not very clear. At what point do I install/flash the 2nd rom. For example if my current ROM is CM10.2, how do I get a second rom (sammy) onto the phone?
Can you be a bit more precise on the steps?
Thank you very much

Hey,
if you want to flash a Sammy Rom as 2nd Rom you need to have it as a flashable zip File (you will find them here in this Forum)
This should be the 2nd step in OP then, so just continue with the list
But don´t forget to delete some Files from /system of the Stock Rom to have enough Space for both Rom inside the /system Folder of your Device.
I hope that helped ?

Sorry for not understanding:
I would love to do precisely that, but that way i will loose root and have to re-install CMW-recovery won't I?
I will try to figure out the steps to take:
1. Reboot into CWM and install DualBootUtilities
2 .Set CM10.2 somehow as Secondary ROM?
3. Flash your already patched CM10.2 ROM and GAPPS on 2nd ROM
4. Somehow set 1st ROM active and connect in Download-mode to ODin and Flash I9295XXUBML3.tar.md5 ?
Going in the right direction ??

Let's say you've set up a Sammy Rom completely including root and cwm recovery. The normal way as usual.
If you downloaded the already patched Files, place them somewhere you can find em.
Now, install and start the "Dualboot Switcher" app and set first Rom as primary.
Boot into Recovery.
Install the patched Files the normal way.
Reboot, phone will boot into second Rom now by default.
Once, second Rom has booted, install and run the "Dualboot Switcher" app again. Inside the App you can now choose which Rom to boot, then push reboot Button inside the App.
Done
I hope that helped but feel free to ask!

1. Installed SwitcherApp in CM10.2
2. Reboot into recovery and flashed cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot and gapps-jb-20130813-signed_dualboot
- as you stated it reboots into 1st ROM and makes CM10.2 2nd

4. Rebooting now.... :fingers-crossed: I think it did not work. Looking at the Samsung glowing logo for some time now.
* This way i dit not remove files from /system so that could be the problem?

Rooted S4Active with cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx, gapps-jb-20130813-signed and CWM installed.
1. Installed SwitcherApp in CM10.2
2. Reboot into recovery and flashed cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot and gapps-jb-20130813-signed_dualboot
- as you stated it reboots into 1st ROM and makes CM10.2 2nd
3. Rebooted into Download Mode
3. Used Odin 3.09 to install I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME.tar.md5
4. Rebooting now.... :fingers-crossed: I think it did not work. Looking at the Samsung glowing logo for some time now.
* This way i dit not remove files from /system so that could be the problem?

No, this way Odin will flash Sammy Rom and everything will be gone.
Now, after you flashed Sammy successfully, flash cwm recovery, root, delete some bloat and then (!) work down the list in OP
Then it will work. Without offense, you need to read more careful

LOL i think that won't work cause i put it on my Ext-SD so i first have to install the right CWM to access my Nandroid
But i will be fine, serious
I am just waiting for my apps to re-install...so i wondered...when i have 2 roms/dualboot, will the Samsung Update show me an update in the stock rom? So, like kitkat is coming next month? #ProbablyNot
Well... Back to single boot CM10.2 for now...
Didn't work out for me but I'll be back for a 2nd attempt soon.
Meanwhile: SammyStock won't update in dual boot setup (obvious)
Had to disable Knox along the way to be able to install some apps that required root privileges.

Before getting in the same mess as before:Using Nandroid restore will destroy the dualboot setup?
So titaniumbackup-restore is the way to go?
I am preparing a flasable zip of the latset firmware but i am not 100% sure it is working (still have some reading to do :laugh
Please correct me if i am wrong:
Stock-SammyROM (latest firmware: I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME )
1. Root with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin
3. Enable Developer-mode
4. Disable Knox
5. Enable USB-debugging
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?)
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data

Yes, you are very close
I´d do it this way :
After a fresh install of your Sammy Stock Rom, let it set up. Then, turn of Device and restart into Download Mode
1. Root with Odin Flash this recovery with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin After flash, Device will reboot, press Vol Up + Home, it will go into recovery
2a. Flash this from Recovery
2b. Reboot Device and Click on the SU App. Let it do it´s job (it will install stuff and disable KNOX)
3. Enable Developer-mode not needed
4. Disable Knox is done by SU App
5. Enable USB-debugging not needed
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?) not there in stock and not needed
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
10a. Apps like Google+, Maps, Samsung Bloat are good candidates for this as they are downloadable from store later or not needed at all
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data
Yes, there should be no Problems with TB even tho you´ll get warnings about SU. It works.
Good luck

May I ask what you used to Deodex? I have also Deodexed my device, but had to brutally debloat it. Settings.apk didn't function correctly, syscope, smartcardmanager and a couple of others forced closed repeatedly.. I'll take a look at this, but wondering what you used to Deodex this..

Super R was the first thing I tried.. In the Tools folder he has old and new oatdex files.. I tried both with little success.. I had to brutally debloat and lost my finger print scanner.. Setting.apk would force close on security settings..
Thanks for the link.. I'll take a look at it..
I don't have the time to flash the ROM, but I'll install it later on tonite..
Edit: you could copy the oat2dex file from that Deodexer script to Super R, in the Tool/Smali directory.. that should allow proper deodexing in Super R..

Does this ROM break encryption? Thanks!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My guess is that it will break encryption since the zip wipes data (data partition is encrypted)...but if it doesn't, who knows if the phone will boot. You will need a usb-otg to flash from since twrp wont be able to read the SD card partition.
I do know that I could not encrypt my phone with the patched kernel, I had to use the stock kernel. Once encrypted, I was able to flash super su to root the phone, but twrp was all kinds of red because it could not mount the data partition. Since it won't mount, you don't have a way to "nandroid backup" your phone.
Flashfire might be the solution for backing up encrypted phones, I made 2 backups with flashfire, though I haven't tried to restore. I think flashfire works with the encryption because it does not reboot until after its done, and it seems the phone is decrypted when it runs.

Did a complete wipe, already had the updated bootloader and was previously on Stock 6.01. Did a total wipe in TWRP, flashed the ROM, wiped Dalvik/Art and Cache again to be sure.. Then rebooted.. Sitting on 20 mins and no boot... Stuck in a bootloop..
I got a boot loop when i flashed TWRP

I could have sworn TWRP had a way to mount encrypted partitions now. Did it ask you for a password when you entered TWRP?

The instructions tell you to use and links to a specific version of TWRP, yet you somehow missed that.
You stated in this post that you used Twrp 3.0 and only used the Twrp version linked in the instructions after you bootlooped, smh: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...stuck-loop-t3360447/post66404317#post66404317

How to flash the Marshmallow update on your SM-G920T (plus root and Xposed!)

[WARNING]: Use at your own risk. This WILL trip Knox and void your warranty beginning at Step 9.
This is only for the T-Mobile variant. I don't have any other S6 to test this with, so I cannot tell you if it will work for other versions.
Thanks goes to the respective devs for creating the needed files and instructions that I'm simply combining here
Files you'll need:
Odin 3.10.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
TWRP: https://idlekernel.com/twrp/zeroflte/3.0.2-1/twrp-3.0.2-1-zeroflte.tar.md5 (linking directly to the file gives me a 404 - sorry!)
SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
The ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...20t-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-update-t3356838
Optional:
Xposed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960 (xposed-v81.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160411)
and Xposedinstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811)
How to flash Marshmallow on the Samsung SM-G920T via Odin:
1. Download and install the Samsung drivers
2. Copy SuperSU to your phone (OPTIONAL: Copy Xposed installer .ZIP too)
3. Extract the ROM from the .ZIP file
4. In Windows, run Odin as Administrator
5. Power off phone and put in Download mode (Power+Home+Volume Down)
6. Plug in phone
7. Put the ROM in the AP slot in Odin
8. Click Start
Once flashing is done, the phone will reboot
How to gain root via Odin:
9. In Windows, run Odin as Administrator
10. Power off phone and put in Download mode (Power+Home+Volume Down)
11. Plug in phone
12. Put the TWRP MD5 file in the AP slot
13. Click Start
Once flashing is done, the phone will reboot
14. Power off your phone and boot into Recovery (Power+Home+Volume Up)
15. Navigate to install and choose the file for SuperSU
16. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
17. Reboot
Optional: Installing Xposed
18. Power off your phone and boot into Recovery (Power+Home+Volume Up)
19. Navigate to Install and choose the file for Xposed
20. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
21. Reboot
22. Once you're back in Android, install the Xposed APK and reboot
You can also just skip Steps 16 through 18 and include the file for Xposed at the same time you're installing SuperSU. Just wipe Cache/Dalvik before rebooting.
Don't you have to be Deodexed to flash Xposed? Though I have successfully flashed Xposed on the MM Odexed Stock ROM, I couldn't get any of the modules to work..
I read in a different post regarding issues of OTG support after flashing TWRP. Do you know by chance if this issue has been resolved?
Xposed works on the stock rooted ROM. I'm running XTouchWiz, Burnt Toast, ButteredToast, MinminGuard, BlackList, AdBlocker, XPrivacy and XPrivacy Button.
I haven't tried my OTG with MM yet, but will tonight when I get home from work.

@General_Mayhem,
I'm curious as to know why you're linking an unofficial recovery? TWRP lists 3.0.2-0 as their latest version. Idlekernel does not seem to have a front end page detailing exactly what they're hosting...
Because that was one mentioned in another thread and the one I used. I wrote this up based off what I personally used and did. It's not just a regurgitation of accumulated information.
