To permanently install the TWRP Touch Recovery Menu on your Samsung Galaxy S4 you need to rename two files from the Android System-Folder. Otherwise the Stock Rom would overwrite the Custom TWRP Recovery Menu.
Search for the following two files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Rename them to:
/system/_recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/_install-recovery.sh
If you want to go back to the basic Recovery Menu just rename the files back to their original names.
Important:
If your device doesnt automatically boot into the Revovery-Mode follow the following steps:
- In ODIN select only „F.Reset Time“ and then press START (dont forget the PDA)
- Take the battery out of your phone
- Put the battery back in and start your device with the button-combo Volume-Up + Home-Button + Power-Button“
- Your Device should now boot into the Recovery-Mode
