I was on stock touchwiz android kitkat on my s4 acrive int .. then i installed cwm and rooted using cwm recovery .. when i updated to official touchwiz lollipop via odin i tried to reinstall the cwm but for some reason it can't be accessed whenever i boot into recovery the stock recovery appears instead .. also i tried to use cf auto root (which worked for me before the update too ) but it doesn't work too . Also when flashing both the recovery and the root using odin it says pass but none of them is installed though .. is their any other way to install cwm or at least root the phone while on lollipop

Working method for Kitkat 4.4x or Lollipop 5.0.x

Pay attention to what you need to do immediately after flash custom recovery over stock.

How can i uninstall cmw? because i installed it, but i dont need it( i downloaded from an link from youtube whit rooting and that package dont have root =)) but in title his name is rooting samsung galaxy ace 2.3.6) and now i cant root my phone. Anyone?
More information please...what do you mean by you installed cwm but now you cannot root? Usually cwm is installed after rooting...just leave cwm there...it's very useful for backups and custom rom flashing...or if you really hate it (why would you? Lol), just flash a stock rom via odin and reroot without cwm...
I think he installed CWM without rooting the phone now he cant root it with CWM

I suggest you to start off fresh with a new firmware...flash it via ODIN and this time just flash the upd_1.zip...
I have a new i9305(about a month old, from tmobile if that matters). It came running 4.1.2 which I updated OTA to 4.3 official. I recently rooted, using CF via Odin. I tried to boot phone into recovery but the screen went blank. Phone doesn't cut off but it's blank as if is off. I reinstall stock recovery and it runs. I've tried to install 3 different recoveries via Odin(CWM, TWRP, forgot 3rd) but they all have the same problem. Rom Manager doesn't help and it also says I have CWM 5.x.x.x installed even when I flash stock recovery.
I've searched for a solution on here and other sites and this problem seems to be unique. I would like to know if there's a way I can either install a custom ROM without custom recovery or if I can solve this problem
Install cf root with odin .
Boot ur phone.
Go to play store and get supersu update it.
Get ROM manager from play store install it and install custom recovery from there.
Choose your model in ROM manager.
Search for cwm-recovery-6045-i9305.zip if you install a kitkat ROM flash that first.

So it's working now, I first unrooted my phone and reflashed cfroot via odin. and I tried ROM manager again but chose the gs3(metro pcs)... and it worked... maybe i messed up somewhere when i first rooted it, idk.
Hi all. I rooted via towelroot ages ago and some how I installed the 3 recoveries twrp Cwm and another I can.t remember. But I didn't do it on laptop. I have no pc which is why use towelroot for root.
But on here only says use doomlord kit or download recoveries and.write some code in terminal emu for recovery
I did not do any.of that I think I downloaded a rom or.a set of recoveries that just worked for.some reason. I can't.remember.
Installed custom rom. And messed about got brick fixed.rerooted but now can't get recoverys again
Can anyone help me get recoveries on stock rooted c5303 Xperia sp
Thanks you guys
Oh,yeah. Apparently flashify and other flashing apps installed recoveries but can't boot into recovery I read up & it's cos stock 0.205 firmware thing.
This is how I bricked my sp I tries installing kernel through one of the apps supposedly meant to be able.to do it but it failed wouldn't boot had to go friends download flashtool 205 global ftf and. Flash it.
Now just stock and.rooted via towelroot. Sd says Cwm folder is there as I.delete it reboot and Cwm.folder is.back???? Weird I can't.boot no recovery

Or other apps.meant for this purpose. Idk y they don't work. They just don't.
So in future please read and.understand before telling me an app I already know doesn't work ( for me person)

Hey guys,
After hours and hours of searching forums and trying things, I decided I need help.
I just bought a Z1 (yes, they're still for sale) and I wanted to update the firmware to the newest .283 lollipop. Also, I want to root my device.
I have rooted Android phones before, and I have some experience flashing Custom ROMs etc.
As I have understood I have to downgrade to a 4.4 ROM first, to get root. Then my plan was to install recovery and install .283 Pre-rooted ZIP in Recovery.
So here's what I did:
-Flash 14.1.G.1.534 firmware
-Root using KingoROOT
-try to install recovery
-boot into recovery
-install pre-rooted .283 Lollipop ZIP
-phone won't boot anymore.
I am still able to flash the newest .283 with the FTF file, but then obviously it's unrooted. I also cannot figure out how to flash recovery after flashing .283 FTF. (Flashing recovery seems to work, but I cannot enter recovery via adb or otherwise)
So if anyone can tell me what I am missing, please do!
for what i know the ftf files can't be prerooted. so download a prerooted zip file and install it from a recovery. btw if u're gonna try any custom rom, don't forget to backup your drm before unlocking bootloader. That's a must for xperia devices
Thanks. However, I can't get Recovery to work after flashing Lollipop firmware. And when I downgrade and then flash the ZIP from recovery, the phone won't boot.
I succeeded! The steps that led me to this result:
-flash KK 14.4.A.0.108 in Flashtool
-Root the firmware using Flashtool/SuperSU method
-flash Recovery using Dual Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647487)
-Flash the Pre-Rooted ZIP in Recovery
-Success!!

yes..but i have problem after flashing any custom rom...after restart see only black screen..
now tried to flash custom rom with stock kernel, and locked bootloader config, after reboot i see sony logo and i am in reboot loop.
i have relocked bootloader, try to lock and then unlock with official sony guide.
Wondering since the 920t stock recovery zip as a stand alone flash able zip isn't available and only the s6 edge is can that zip be used on the s6 with no issues isn't it safe to say the two stock recovery should be the same .
I'm trying to manually unroot without a pc and I know I've done this method on a s6 once I think or a s5 without having to Odin. Deleting uninstalling supersu. .and flashing stock kernel and then stock recovery then wipe reset with in stock recovery anyone confirm this method ?
