Hi All
I wanted to flash a custom ROM to Androd 4.3, but anything I do, the device always boots to the 'odin mode' screen.
The device is SUrooted, but knox is still present. I also renamed the /system/etc/install_recovery.sh, the other file was not present...
I tried different combinations with ODIN to flash CWM/TWRP, but my device never wants to boot into recovery
It might be because of the bootloader?
Is there any way to make the recovery mode work or to unlock/change the bootloader?
(I don't care about the warrenty, I just want to flash a custom ROM.... I also don't care if I loose data - so shall I try without a recovery mode?
Thanks for any help

Flash whit CF-auto-root. Download SU form anywhere but not playstore. Install it and disable Knox (Optional user root explorer, search for Knox and delete it)
Hope that will help.
Search forum for this file and flash DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1. Ô All details are within the forum it will remove all the Knot files from device...
no script without recovery
Hi both
Thanks for the help, but
- where do I get a non-playstore superSU app from? I found .zip file, but how can I install them without recovery mode?
- and you mean to just search for any knox files and just delete them via a root exploer applciation also like total commander?
- same for the script. How can I use the script if I cannot get into recovery mode?
Is there anything I could simply flash with odin, or execute from within the OS?
Or do I need terminal emulator etc?
thanks
solved
OK, forget my last post, I foudn the solution:
It works with Odin 3.09
I used 3.07 before, but now I succeeded to get into recovery mode (TWRP), flash SU, remove knox etc
The only downside: after a factory reset (for flashing ROM), the device wouldn't boot into TWRP any more (freeze) and I had to reflash an older version of CWM. And the factory reset wiped my internal SD card, so I had to use an external for flashing ROM etc
thanks anyways
I am aware that I can't get the ota with a custom recovery. when lollipop gets released, how to I update my phone? I want to use stock so that I have active notifications and voice control.
You need to reflash the stock firmware.
Flash the entire stock rom? Or just recovery?
Recovery, revert any framework mods, reinstall any uninstalled system apps, and unfreeze any system apps.
1) Stock recovery. No it will no flash with twrp or cwm
2) All root removed completely from your system
3) Xposed framework completely removed from your system, uninstalling will not work,you need to flash the xposed Disabler zip
4) Any mods to any system file must be reverted to stock
5) Running the stock odex ROM
6) Any system apps frozen must be unfrozen
Now, i have a Noob Question, but I always had Samsung devices, they have no bootloader like the moto or htc.
I unlocked the bootloader, is it safe to update via OTA ?
thx

Pretty sure all android devices have some sort of bootloader.
Anyway, since your bootloader is unlocked, you shouldn't have a problem rooting.

What about the OTA for future lollipop?

If you have a custom recovery you wont be able to OTA. That simple.
...or just wait for someone to cook up a custom Lolipop or stock rooted ROM flashable via custom recovery.

It will certainly flash via custom recovery. You just can't do an automatic update with custom recovery, where the system reboots itself and tries to update. If you manually download an OTA zip and flash it manually in recovery, it will work as long as all the file checks pass as I've done this several times on different devices.

For #2 you do not need to UNROOT in most cases. Using the older methods for locked bootloaders like SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto and the like it was suggested to flash back to stock because of potential changes those processes make that could cause the OTA update's pre-flash validation checks fail.
For #6 it depends on how they are "Frozen." Apps "frozen" or disabled the same way that going Settings -> Apps -> {select the app} -> tap DISABLE button (or uninstall updates, then disable) will be fine and will not impact the OTA.
In the past freezing apps via Titanium Backup did cause problems, so it was suggested to unfreeze. However, more recent updates (like 4.4.2 to 4.4.4) did not encounter that problems, and those who froze apps with Titanium Backup didn't need to unfreeze.
If you have an 3rd party recovery on the device, when it goes to reboot and install the update, it will fail, and get the phone stuck in a boot loop.
When I've tried manually installing an OTA.ZIP in TWRP, it has errored. The only way for me to install was via stock recovery. That being said, I didn't try CWM or Philz.
As for Lollipop, you will be able to install and then flash custom recovery. As for rooting, there are changes in Lollipop, and it wont be confirmed until Lollipop hits a 2013 X, but in theory, due to the latest updates from Chainfire to SuperSU, we may be able to just flash TWRP, and install SuperSU like we did with KitKat.
Hi , i want root and install twrp but , can i , after unlock bootloader ,install twrp and root my device restore it later with stock firmware/recovery/rom/bootloader?
And how backup stock fw/bootloader/recovery from my unrooted device?
It's possible. I think you should do this... Before rooting, if you have not already done that, in TWRP, don't allow system modifications when it boots up. Then make a full backup(which is your stock rom unrooted) and save it. Then even after rooting, coming back to stock would just need a reflash in TWRP.
If I have a P9 on Nougat B391, I receive an OTA, am currently rooted on Magisk v14. If I install the OTA anyway? What will happen? I know I will lose root, but will my bootloader be relocked? Am I going to lose any data?
Would like to know what will happen next as I am thinking of installing it. thanks!
there are 2 posible outcomes, maybe 3.
1. update will be successfull and you will lose root, twrp, bootloader can be locked too, but on fastboot it will shown as unlocked, if you cant instal twrp, then you need to unlock bootloader even if there is tuped unlocked.
2. update will fail and you will be back on same build you was.
3. never hapened to me, but are possible, that phone got bricked!

IMO, (2) is most possible utcome. (3) may happen if you force DLOAD and other manual methods.
Better:
1) unroot by Magisk Uninstaller, find the download link in the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74913863&postcount=1
2) flash from TWRP original stock boot img
3) wipe Dalwik and Cache from TWRP
3) flash from fastboot original stock recovery
4) let it make OTA update but select in the System Update settings to use Full (not differential) update - it will not delete your apps and settings
Of course, you will loose root and TWRP but bootloader will remain unlocked and you will not risk bricking the phone.

thanks, this roughly gives me an idea on what would happen and the risks it contains! thanks a lot!

thanks a lot! it's useful to know how to unroot my phone as there isn't any particular guide for this phone model haha. anyway, is there a way to unroot and lock my bootloader without wiping my phone?

Magisk Uninstaller does not wipe your phone.
However, unlocking or relocking Bootloader (from Fastboot) triggers Factory restore
Is there a way to remove the root on my phone so it will be back to stock. I haven't done anything on the phone besides install the systemless root. I used this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-systemlessly-root-pixel-xl-t3660324
If at all possible, I would like to retain the information on the phone (apps, contacts, pics, etc....). I can use adb and am completely comfortable with cmd/terminal.
Can I just install the stock bootloader.img with adb? or is there more to it? Any way to tell which version of 8.1 I have? Please excuse my ignorance on the actual root terminology.
@osm0sis wonderful unSU script is good for removing all traces of root. Afterwards you only need to flash your stock boot image (not bootloader, different things) through fastboot and you're back to normal.
You should also be able to use the SuperSU app's built-in complete unroot function.
