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.

If he's still on 4.4.2 he can use SafeStrap

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.

With the GS2 I just got the file, put it on Odin and it was done so I have no clue about HTC phones. My phone is unlocked but has my networks firmware on it and I cannot update to newer firmware unless I get the stock firmware I'm guessing. So I'm just wondering where I can get that and how I do it?
Thanx.

Just about everything on htc phones is done through custom recovery.
If you have bootloader unlocked the you will need to flash a custom recovery I recommend twrp. After that just make a backup then download and flash a rom.
You can download and flash roms with just the phone no computer needed once you have the custom recovery

No I mean my network doesn't lock the phone but you get their firmware which is annoying. I have no idea how to check the bootloader, never even heard of one before, everything was much easier with Samsung lol.

Custom ROMs are tweaked so more than likely it will be snappier and more battery efficient compared to stock ROMs. Also some custom ROMs have different themes, wallpaper or look than a stock ROM. The only ROM I know that doesn't have ANY visual changes is ARHD ROMs by mike1986.

You need to flash a custom recovery to be able to flash a custom ROM. Read the guide that was mentioned a couple of post above. The steps år basically like this.
Unlock the bootloader through the HTCdev website
Flash a custom recovery
Make a nandroid backup of your stock rom from recovery
Download and copy a custom ROM zip to the SD card
Flash the custom ROM from recovery
No, Samsung was not any easier to modify . I have rooted and modified several devices from both Samsung and HTC. You just have to learn the steps.

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

In general, you have to return to stock and relock to get the upgrade. Which model do you have? If you have the XT1063 then there is an update that you can flash from TWRP with the latest Lollipop (22.21.16). I believe it also works for the XT1064, but am not certain.

If you're on stock rom, make sure you haven't disabled any system apps or even uninstalled them.
Other than that just flash the stock rom, if needed, otherwise just the stock recovery.
Also, IMHO, I don't think you need re lock your bootloader. It's just a superfluous step

Hello, I have a ATT Note 3 Android 4.4.4 , (baseband version N900AUCUDNL1), (Kernel 3.4.0-3032228). I followed the directions of each rooting method. I have ran Kingo root method and ran Odin v.309 and v.3.10 root method several times and both these rooting methods have FAILED. Can anyone please help and advise me on how to root and install a recovery on this device. I appreciate any help.
I'm not 100% sure but I believe you need to be on NC2 in order to root.

If the bootloader is locked, you cannot install cwm or twrp.

Towleroot doesn't work on 4.4.4 you need to back date to 4.4.2 kk then towleroot will work install busybox and j. Rummy root checker, safestrap 3.75 install ST mind you it will say not active until you install a custom rom in one of the slots I believe you can just activate slot one without installing a rom and it'll put safestrap in a active State. Droidveiws is a good place to get the 4.4.2 firmware get the AP BL CP files the install via doing 3.09 it's simple. Me personally I like kk better than lollipop.

Hi recently few members oriented me about the note 3 att version issues when trying to add a new port to it. I read a little and now i am looking for recommendations to get the best (fastest, clean, uptodate) por for my phone. Opinion recommendations are welcome. I am looking for something stable.
If the n900a is running a 4.3 or newer bootloader, the bootloader is locked which means twrp cannot be installed to the phone and the phone will only run custom roms that can be flashed with safestrap or possibly flash fire.

I think is running the old version. I checked the AP and it ends in OC2
With oc2, the bootloader is locked.

and there is a way out of this? i cant really be sure some posts says you cant soe post there are ways to get something up
Nope, I know of no way around the locked bootloader. Same situation exists for the AT&T Samsung s4 which also has a locked bootloader.
I have never seen a post where someone can run twrp or cwm on an at&t s4 or note 3 with a locked bootloader.
Ohh well there goes my hope i guess i cant do anything. Any other kind of modification i can do to this phone?
You can root to remove bloatware. You can also use safestrap to flash some custom ROMs. Look in the development thread for ROMs that work with a locked bootloader. Here's an example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786666

Do you have a link to any tutorials showing how to root a n900a without needing TWRP? All the guides I am seeing are not n900a specific or tie-in custom ROM flashing as well which is obviously not applicable in this case.

It would help, but I'm already on 5.0 OC2. Is is even possible to root at this point?
It only takes 10 minutes to Odin back to 4.4.4, which can be rooted.

Then I highly recommend the AryaMod ROM. Insanely fast and the battery lasts forever.
