So what you are saying is i will d/l CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip from OP and this can be flashed thru recovery?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] spamcakes:
Nope, use Odin to flash recoveries, instructions are in OP

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] earthworm1102:
ok. thanks

edit: so i have to use Odin to flash recoveries... so i cannot just get a CWM zip file, flash it, and be able to change my CWM.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
I have mobile Odin installed on my s3, so I don't need a pc to flash a new kernel or recovery in Odin format ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] earthworm1102:
I tried to flash it via odin, but failed. Do i need "drivers" for this to work. If it does need it where can i d/l it? I mean direct link to it. Not just the website, Thanks!

Edit: Ok i got it to work. installed drivers!!

My internal sdcard dont mount in cwm :(

Error mounting /sdcard!

Any solution for this?

CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 :: CF-v1.5
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
/sdcard is the external one, the internal is in /data/media. So for the internal one the data partition has to be mounted ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
Well I cant make a nandroid cuz the sdcard dont mount.

Edit: mounted /data and it worked :-)

Hi Guys, hope you can help me.

I bought a second SG3 for my girlfriend today and i'm trying to install Recovery without success, i'm really getting mad of it.

I enter the download mode, start odin 3-1.85 (also tried with Odin3-3.04), select the recovery 1.5 tar file as PDA and start. It says flash was success but when the phone restarts and I get again to the Recovery menu its still the standard Stock recovery, it didn't get flashed.

And I repeated this fewtimes but the result is still the same - phone is found, file flashed but the Recovery in the phone is still the stock one. Any ideas??
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Try cfroot, if you still haven't got cwm but rooted, you can try to flash the recovery from mobile odin.

should I keep 5.5.0.4 or go to 5.8.4.3 or 5.8.4.7?

A few mixed up questions:

I have an i747 with the 5.5.0.4 CWM and it's rooted but otherwise stock. I wanted to install the various patches which are in the OTM which can't be installed with the CWM. I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768826 which in turn brings up the issue of the CWM. So, should I change the CWM from the 5.5.0.4? Are there advantages other than the touch interface? Does it require Odin? If so, does it increase the flash count? Should I be concerned about that now that I've already run Odin?

I know these questions have been answered but I'm still having trouble making sense of it.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] brian6685:
Use the tar in the op of the other recovery thread, then just update from rom manager
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sjgore:
A very good question. Chainfire's 5.5.0.4 works so well, and with both internal and external storage too.

I'm struggling to find a reason to change, especially to an alpha version of a touch version which looks just the same as 5.5.0.4 but with the lines spaced out a bit more to allow for fingers.

Of course, if Chainfire were to produce his own version of the 5.8.X.X recovery I wouldn't hesitate to use it, but again, I doubt there's really much benefit otherwise I'm assuming he would have done it by now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Faryaab:
@Chainfire

The new ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.0.7 is very stable only lacks External SD Card support. Can you please update your Recovery and base it on the latest ?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] BlackBull85:
I finally resolved the problem. If one of the tar archive created by clockworkmod is bigger than 2gb the restore will fail. It's an general fact of the tar filetype. In my case it was the ext4.data.tar file. It was about 2.2gb.

In most cases it helps to wipe the dalvik cache before making an backup. So you will save about 300-400mb.

Issue with recovery on Abyss Kernel 1.6

I tried the Abyss 1.6 kernel (on Omega 1.9), after testing, I decided to go back to Siyah. However, I couldn't use CMW (as Abyss has its own Recovery) and couldn't apply CF-Root from recovery!!

In the end , I had to flash CF-ROOT recovery via PC Odin, then I Flashed Siyah 1.3.8a (using PC Odin - it was still running)

I'm now restoring from nandroid backup!

Not quote sure what went wrong there, but any advice appreciated.

Will the "Device Status" be changed to 'modified' if I flash this on a stock unrooted firmware?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
I think yes, would be impressed if not

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] victorator:
So is there any way to backup a stock rom without it saying 'modified' after restore?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
If you reset the flash counter and unroot your device all should be back to stock, official, blabla.

It's nothing you can "backup and restore", the flash counter increases if you flash anything from pc odin. I once flashed cwm via pc odin, then supersu with cwm, resetted the flash counter with triangle away app and since then I never used pc odin, used always mobileOdin.

Also if I have understood it right, stock roms are showing in the about phone modified, if they detect root/root acitivities, but not sure about that.

After I did a "Wipe data/factory reset" in ClockWorkMod, my Galaxy S III stopped working properly. The Messaging app couldn't start at all with a NullPointerException in CscParser, and other apps were also FC'ing.

I had to flash the CSC back onto device to fix these issues.

The "Wipe data/factory reset" option sounded fairly safe to use, and never warned me about any CSC issues.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Bidshelf:
I found a tutorial that said is possible to flash the CWM Recovery and SuperSU in S3 without increase the counter.

The procedure is:

- Just flash the CWM Recovery through Odin

- Flash SuperSU through Recovery

- Phone rooted without increase counter.

Yes, I known that I can reset the counter with Triangle Way, but it's not my intention.

I really want to get the root access without need to use Triangle to reset counter.

This method really works?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rob2222:
Whats the difference to flashing CF-Root via Odin?

I thought CF-Root just flashes CWM-Recovery and then installs SuperSU and CWM-APP trough CWM-Script.

For me it should be the same?!

Rob
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm gonna see how high I can get the counter.. Up to 9 so far ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Bidshelf:
I don't think so. I guess the CF-Root alter kernel that makes the counter increase.

With this way the kernel seems to keep untouched.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
If you mount data in cwm, it works?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] andreasy:
I found half my answer but I haven't found enough clues to convince me so here is my question:

I rooted my SGS3 with the Toolkit v4 which installed the official CWM recovery 6.0.1.0 (touch). I haven't seen any issues that people mention here apart from a different way of making backups. It makes some "blob" folders which I admit I don't like but I have managed to backup and restore.

Also I can choose between internal and external sd.

So my question is:

- Any real reason why I should change to the CF CWM recovery?

- Can I change to CF version by just flashing or will I have problems do to the fact that I have the original and I used the toolkit to root?

- And if I keep the officialm can I now use ROM manager or it's still incompatible with SGS3?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
The newest Rommanager from market works great with sgs3.

About the blobs backup method, I like it, because the backups are incremental, and if I want to delete one, I simply delete the backup folder and go to recovery/advanced/free nandroid space.

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] andreasy:
Thanks,

The problem with blobs is that if you want to copy/migrate your backups you may have to copy those as well (or nor?) and they are quite many :laugh:

Also with this recovery and after I flashed my latest ROM, I get a message that "A custom ROM could replace my recovery to stock" and asks me if I want to correct this. However that will be permanent as it says. Have you got any idea?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] andreasy:
Anyway, just in case, is it safe to flash the CF version and replace my official CWM recovery in case I feel that the official is not safe?

CWM is removed each reboot

Hi Chainfire (or anyone that can help :laugh:)

I have actually bought a couple of your apps from the app store to keep the great development going.

First let me explain I need my phone unrooted to use a certain banking app but like the features that clockwork mod has to offer. Previously on my S2 (I now have an S3) I had to do this (after my phone was rooted) by installing the Orange Stock ROM then install a specific CWM.zip from a post I found on rooting a phone without flashing using ODIN every time I wanted to use CWM, this ZIP contained the sbin and filesystem files to run CWM but only once when the CWM was installed in recovery mode to allow me to do backups/restores etc - or install the SU/Busybox zip update to root the phone.

When I flash your S3 CWM zip every time I reboot the S3 it goes back to stock recovery. My question is do you have a similar thing to CWM.zip that I can install via recovery rather than download from an external SD card that will allow me to use the features of CWM temporarily after the CWM update zip is ran from stock recovery?

I am currently running an unlocked S3 with a Samsung Stock ICS ROM.

I hope this makes sense and my terminology is correct.

I tryd the way you discribed it by doing it manually, I tryd a lot of athor ways as I surched XDA for it, but my phone doesn't connect to Odin no more and everything I'm trying to flash from my SD-card with recovery it says: "signature failed".

Do you know what I can do about this?

If you have this recovery just flash this zip in the recovery to gain root, make sure to choose location of zip example (internal or external)

Also to get back to odin hold power+volume+ home key down to get into download mode for Odin.

If I helped click Thanks

No man, sorry to report you that it doesn't work. Maybe I,m not flashing the right way... I put the file on my SD-card, turn of my phone, go into recoverymode, press "apply update from external storage", press the file and than it says: E: signature verification failed

Anyways to get the correct recovery and root all in one shot is to read and follow this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 Super easy, if you're confused just do a search on youtube for root with Odin. Same procedure but this file has root, cwm recovery, and a app to reboot to new recovery from phone.

Here is Odin you run on computer , second file is root,cwm recovery, cwm manager apk.

Read entire installation procedure 3 times, look at videos, good luck.
