help flashing TWRP on a samsung galaxy s4 ( Cricket / AIO SGH-I337Z (jflteaio) )

[askalmost]

Greetings,

I am trying to flash the latest TWRP using the latest odin on my cricket samsung galaxy s4, but get the red failed message.
1) Is there a recommended TWRP version to flash on this phone?
2) Has anyone had any luck installing Lineage OS on this version of Samsung galaxy s4?

thanks in advance for any help

If your bootloader is locked, you can only root and use touch wiz based ROMs. No TWRP no lineage OS

Thank you very much for your reply, there is not much info for the I337z . I tried using kingo root and towel root , and neither of them worked. Any suggestions as to what rooting method may work with this version of samsung galaxy s4? Also, how can I be sure if my bootloader is locked? I know ATT ( I337) has a locked bootloader.

Thanks again

No problem. Towel root and kingo root won't work, but KING root will. Here are some links that may help you:

Thank you for the help . I was able to install a custom TWRP and Lineage OS from JDCTeam, even though i337z is not on their list of supported devices. But somehow it worked .

No problem. Your bootloader is unlocked then if you got TWRP and lineage on it
