Help me. I did the whole Odin thing to flash CWM, in place of stock recovery. After I did that, I received the above message when I tried to go into recovery...regardless of the method. To get out of it, I just pressed vol down, power and home keys. From there, to the installation of a custom rom warning, I selected cancel and it booted up as normal.

What can I do to get rid of this locked state and flash a recovery, once and for all? IS there anything that can be done.

Also, I did a word search to see if there was another similar post and found none. If I was wrong, forgive me for being redundant and kindly point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

PS. I have a Towelrooted Galaxy S4, I545 with 4,4,2 and NC5.

Sounds good. Yeah, I got the update but it wouldn't install. I assume it is because recovery was in Odin Mode.n Now to try and get past that to flash stock and start fresh.
