[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Fuseless:
Hi Guys,

Could somebody please provide me with a link that could explain the root procedure, and what "This is bare root and nothing else. As the thread states, I'm no longer working with permanent custom recoveries" mean.

I have already rooted my phone with cf-root 6.4, however i have just wiped and installed Jelly Bean, now i see there's something called cf-auto root.

All I want to do is use applications that require device root, i don't care about any other customization, i used stock JB rom from xda.

I thank you in advance,

Regards.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
cf auto root is a "new era" of rooting except it doesn't have cwm recoveries.;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
Is that supposed to be better?

So CWM can be installed SEPARATELY from cf root?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
Is that supposed to be better?

It depends on individual.

So CWM can be installed SEPARATELY from cf root?

Nope,It can't be installed separately and it won't be installed forever as stated in the OP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfribeiro:
"new era" doesn't mean it will be better. It mean that it will be safer or different.

And yes, you can install a custom recovery separately.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zackmuc:
Is there an "upgrade-path" from 6.4 to cf auto root?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
Yes ofc you can install cwm recovery separate.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
Ok my bad.

I know that we can flash TWRP instead of CWM am I right. But when I flash cf-auto root my CWM recovery overwritted by the cf- auto root.So i assume that CWM doesn't work with cf- auto root.Correct me if i'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
1.flash cf-auto root (has stock recovery)

2.flash cwm recovery

3 or just remove the stock recovery from cf-auto-root before flashing
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
Ok I will try and flash cf- auto root and flash 6.0.1.4 touch recovery img file.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfribeiro:
Unless you use mobile odin and remove recovery tab. Or after flashing CF Auto Root reflash CWM
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
So CWM is just really for flashing roms and wiping? It is not really needed if you just want a rooted phone?

And what happens if you remove stock recovery when flashing cf auto root? What recovery software would be in the phone then?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
It's not just for roms,it flashes .zip files. For example Themes etc...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
If you remove the stock recovery you will have the recovery you had before the flash ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
Oh ok. And how do you remove the theme if you don't like it anymore?

Ahh. Is this applicable even if I flash JB? I thought CWM isn't working for JB?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
How do we remove the stock recovery.

---------- Post added 3rd November 2012 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 2nd November 2012 at 11:58 PM ----------

removing theme is by flashing another theme or flash your ro again;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
What's ro?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
I mean rom .

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
Just flash cf root v6.4 to get CWM
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shinyazz52:
Quick question, I'm on stock 4. 1 jb and would like to root, if I use this method I understand that cwm app has issues so can I still boot into recovery manually and still use all the functions, ie backup /restore etc.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sarbe:
Yes you can mate.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
What are th said issues then?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shinyazz52:
I believe when on jb the app says it's not compatible, use earlier version or something like that.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
But in reality, its features are working properly with jb?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] maranello69:
you can't backup / restore from the app, only reboot in recovery / download mode

pretty useless if u ask me
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
I look forward to your version which supports all versions, how long to wait?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
You mean the CWM is useless for JB? Or the missing features are useless?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] maranello69:
ya man, for jb, only thing it can do is reboot your phone

chainfire already abandoned the development of this app, so you guys definitely need to find other solutions, get over it already...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
Oh ok. I thought that is his own app, isn't it? What is the best alternative to CWM?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bricenott:
Somebody ??????

Anwer this question to Kevin... CWM was great because you could do a WHOLE device BACKUP, which you could later recover if you did any kind of stupid thing !!! I just tried to make a backup today to realize that I can't, so I came here. :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ToddeSwe:
Hi

Must say that im using this and I've used this to make a backup of my device and it works fine. What are thoose features that's not working?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bricenott:
Perhaps...

I have the wrong CWM ?

When I open the CW Manager, I get an error that says "This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled."

Anybody knows about this ?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Yes all the hundreds of exact same questions posted in this very thread .

CWM does not work with JB at present . You do not need it use recovery .

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] r_i_x:

your tools are great! pushed the thanks button for that :good:

i hope someday i have extra to buy u coffee.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ToddeSwe:
Same here, but when rebooted into recovery i can make my backup. Can't you?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bricenott:
Yes!!!

WE CAN... hehehe :laugh: Sorry about the easy joke... Anyway thanks, I forgot about recovery... So to the one that said its pretty useless, well at least you have the interface to go to recovery, and yes I know you can also do it with the key combination, but still I rather have a GUI...

We'll check 4 a next version of CWMM... :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
What do you exactly mean? I don't understand what you just said regarding you do not need it use recovery?

Are you using JB?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mustang2012:
You can still back up n restore.. I have done it many times even app says use the other version. No problem using the app :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
Now which is which :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] maranello69:
on jb? are you sure you used the cwm app and not the recovery interface?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] oli3107:
So if it doesn't work with JB, how on earth am I supposed to flash CM10?!

Quick question: Flashing any version of this is able to root SGS3's running Jelly Bean Android 4.1.1 right? Ive yet to see CF-Root updated despite JB already being released for quite a while now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aggazz:
Of course it works with jellybean I flashed cm10 with no problems :D

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Yes to your first question and the op has stopped support for this now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cr0wnest:
Ah I see, should have read that before. Thanks, always nice to keep CF-Root handy any time.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
No it won't, not for my phone at least.

But can this still be considered the best rooting app for JB? Why was support stopped?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aggazz:
I'm not saying this is the best or worst its just one that I've used and had no problems with. And the reason he stopped support is on the first page of this thread in red letters.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
Because chainfire doesn't wanna provide a separate recovery anymore as it is their are many other recovery options like twrp and cwm.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
But the one included with chainfire's root app is also cwm, right?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nhb13612:
I rooted my phone using CF-Root 6.4,tried to upgrade to CWM 6.0.1.2 non-touch via PC Odin, then tried TWRP 2.3.1 via Goo Manager, neither worked. Both indicated PASS/SUCCESS, but there were no icons installed for neither one to allow me to enter Recovery. Instead, after trying TWRP, when I tried to enter Recovery manually, my phone got bricked on the Samsung logo. I successfully unbricked my phone by flashing stock firmware. Successfully rerooted using CF-Root 6.4 again. It seems that I can only root my phone using CF-Root touch. I sure wish somebody would continue Chain's work with CF-Root touch.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shinyazz52:
If you root using this you can get cwm touch recovery .

Hi, i am rooted with chainfire tool and the root disabled sysscope.apk, can i delete sysscope.apk?

will i have problems with a factory reset if i am rooted, if i delete sysscope.apk

thanks.

I mean i know what sysscope.apk does, that is look if your phone has been modified, to post the status in the about device screen.

But if i factory reset, wont the system need the file to recheck the status of the phone? or i will just get the modified status again?

Or since the root just disabled it, wont it cause problems if i factory reset and the root wants to disable it again?

Since the CWM-Recovery in CF-Root 6.4 is outdated...

why don't you guys give PhilZ Touch Recovery (Extended CWM) a try?

It's up-to-date and even has support for AROMA-Filemanager built in. You won't want to use anything else once you've tried. :good:

Once you defrost sysscope your about device, status goes from modified to normal so you can OTA again (may need to reboot twice after the defrost) so no need to flash stock to OTA

Already used this to root months ago (donated too)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bdastoor:
@jonny68

The answer to your first question is .... yes.

Google "exnos abuse". Download the apk created by Chainfire. Use it only to root. However this will only root and give you the Super User. If you want to do back up or restore you would need ROM manager. And of course there is Mobile Odin. Also by CF.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] corkie1:
Hi guys

I got the lla update from kies a few weeks ago. Rerooted with cfroot. Will this mean people who use cfroot will still have the sds bug? From reading other threads it appears the sds bug its related to the kernel and lla gives a new kernel dated 22 of Dec but as I rooted after getting the lla update dies that mean I have cfroot kernel or what? In the status of my s3 it has the kernel date from Dec 22 but does that matter as I am rooted with cf 6.4?

I have used it a number of times to reset my counter, but there is always risk, as the app always warns you
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cybdani:
This is how cf-root and cf-autoroot works.

It extracts current kernel in phone, change value ro.secure to 0 recompiles kernel and flash the kernel. This means that the kernel remains in the same version. Then is totally safe to use it and we keep the same "brick fixed" kernel.

[Q] CWM Back Up

good day bro, i am using sgs3 w/ JB 4.2.1 from samsung-updates.com

i was able to root my device with your great work..

just want to know and ask where can i find the CWM nandroid backup i made?

i can't see it using file manager and in laptop, i thought it was just hidden but still nothing.

i was hoping i could make a copy of it on my laptop for future uses and save phone disk space.

is there by any chance i could see it?..thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] pat357:
As long as you use a recent CM (10.1 should be ok), you're safe from SDS as long as your phone is "running".

However, when you use this older 5.5 recovery, you are not safe from SDS at the moment the recovery is running.

CM 10.1 contains a patched kernel = OK

Recovery from CF-Root 6.4 has a non-patched kernel = NOT Safe !

I'd recommend update the recovery to Philz CWM or TWRP (use the most recent versions, these contain a patched kernel)

Get this recovery : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002953

It's great and safe !

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Should be on your SD (internal or external) under /ClockWorkmod/backup/2013-02-xx/......

Replace "2013-02-xx" by the date you made the backup.

Follow the instructions, if it doesn't bout after the flash, re-flash with auto restart unchecked, then use three button combo to boot recovery and this triggers installation
