well,as above is all I have on the phone,as I said I ran odin and that was fine (UPDATE-SuperSU-v 1.25) was put on the sd card 1st.

as for recovery I guess it was what was on phone already,just pressed power/vol/home and tried to install (UPDATE-SuperSU-v 1.25) but had the errors above
also tried cwm on sd card but that was the same when trying to install.

I appreciate you getting back to me on this.
regards,Harry

http://opengapps.org - use 5.1 and select either the nano or pico variant for less Google bloatware (can be installable from the play store anyways)
