Cf-root is a combination of a custom clockworkmod recovery,root access,and app to let you manage your cwm recovery backups.

Cf-root is a tar file made by chainfire which gives you an easy way to root you phone and gives you a custom recovery to install roms.

Cwm (Clockworkmod) recovery allows to install other roms.the gateway to android customization.

Cwm manager is an app made by chainfire specifically for the s3 to manage backups and stuff.

I had rooted Stock ICS using CF Root, and then installed Mobile Odin. I installed the JB Leaks and now the latest JB version XXDLIB firmware using Mobile Odin. The new ROMs were automatically rooted and mobile odin pre-injected.

However, I am unable to find CWM and I can't make nandroid backups. Should I install it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684535 or should I install CF-Root again?

Also, could I do the same using MobileOdin?

I'm a noob to rooting/flashing so please help :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
CWM does not work use recovery for backups .

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
Clockworkmod IS the recovery. So obviously it is the utility used for backups.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] prabhjots:
I remember after installing C.F. root I saw an app named clockworkMod and I could make a nandroid backup. I do have the stock recovery now on XXDLIB. .

So how to get it? I mean what is the correct way: reinstall c.f. root using mobile Odin or install the standalone app and from where... or some other method? :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] macross12:
thanks for the reply... any advise on cpu settings on this rom... if any..

cheers again
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Answer should have read CWM APP does not work use recovery to access CWM backup .

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] laneyofdeath:
Do it from cwm recovery not cwm manager. Either use reboot recovery or turn off, then hold home and volume up(edit) then turn on :) :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Persuader X:
I do it from CWM recovery. In the CWM manager the option of flashing doesn't appear in my case.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] UnLucky12:
Nice! Thanks alot! :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
It does work with ics roms right? Thats why i said that because most of us are on ics.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
Thanks. So cwm recovery is needed to install custom roms? Without it do you get a recovery mode at stock?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
The stock recovery doesnt have the same functionality as CWM.so yeah you need CWM recovery install roms :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
Ok. So why can't the CWM app install roms? Why do you have to do it in CWM recovery mode?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
Because it's just an app.a recovery is a core functionality of your mobile.the cwm manager app does help in managing your backups for ex it helps in naming/renaming backups and delete backups.and that functionality is not available in recovery mode.

Sent From My GT-i9300
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] prabhjots:
So what's the best way to get the recovery and the app? C.f. root or standalone recovery from its own thread? Or some other method? :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
Cf root has them both packaged :) And the app only works if you are on an ics rom.but use cf root only if you're on stock rom and stock recovery.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ducky1979:
just after some reassurance, if for what ever reason after i root and decide i want to return it to stock all i would need to do is run triangle away to reset the flash counter and then flash the relevant tar file from sammobile?? ive already downloaded the vodafone uk tar file in case so i was just checking that this will then return the phone to the exact condition in which i bought it???

On new update of paranoid android do I redownload gapps or just use the one I downloaded before? :confused:

Gapps can be reused :) they are universal.work with any phone.

Got paranoid android on my phone already but can I use another ROM with it? :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
If you are saying Dual Booting(Still not exactly clear what you are saying...) cf root cant do that. If you mean that you just want to flash another ROM, then of course you can...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kevindd992002:
Oh ok but before JB there was already a note that the ROM MANAGER isn't working and we have to use the CWM APP. What's the difference between both?

Wots the best ROM for GT-I9300? I've got paranoid android installed,just wondering which is best ROM
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] amosljl1995:
@Flava69: There is not such thing as a 'best ROM'. Go and try it out yourself on every single ROM and you ask yourself which is the best ROM and answer it to yourself. Pathetic of you asking this. Every developer work so hard for their ROM and you still had the audacity to ask which is the best ROM?

And I had been noticing you here and PA and most of your post are just STUPID and doesn't have link to the topic of the thread.

SEARCH FOR THE ANS AND STOP WASTING INK TO POST.

Watch yourself or I am gonna to report.

Hello,

I just updated my SGS3 OTA to XXLH1, my phone was rooted just fine before the update using CF-Root 6.4, I re-rooted successfully with ODIN but still got SuperSU permission errors and CWM version errors...does this mean that I have to wait for a new version of CF-root or what exactly? I'm totally clueless now..please help !!!

Hi i own a GT-I9300 i want to use CF-Root 6.4 to root it but i got this questions first:

1) Does SuperSU always runs in the background (on running apps) or it just run when a program call for superuser rights?

2) Does CF-Root 6.4 makes the yellow triangle appear?

3) Does rooting with CF-Root 6.4 makes any function or app of the phone to have bugs or slowdowns?

4) Does rooting with CF-Root 6.4 makes the S3 battery to last less time?

3) Can i uninstall the CWM Manager app that comes with CF-Root 6.4?

Please help.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] staticN0de:
1) I think it runs but have never noticed it. When a program needs it, it gets called and you click to grant permissions.

2) I did not get a yellow triangle. Even if you did, you can Uswest triangle away.

3) no, this is just a poor. Nothing gets changed with your phones Rom until you flash a custom Rom yourself. A goose Rom is omega 27.2

4) battery life will change with a custom Rom and custom kernel. Rooting will not effect it.

5) yes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 0mega007:
thanks just one last question, does using CF-Root 6.4 changes any of my android settings or any app settings, or all stays the same as before using CF-Root 6.4.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] staticN0de:
Nothing will change at all except you will have root. The changes come when you pick a custom Rom.

Damn five minute post cooldown.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
Root is the administrator account for your system, nothing more. This allows it to be installed and accessed.

Hi i have this 2 questions about CF-Root 6.4 on a stock rom:

1) Do i lose root if i factory reset?

2) Does a factory reset cause problems if i removed this system apps with their odex files (My sim, more services, samsung apps, youtube)

I ask because on my xperia play if i maked a factory reset with some system apps removed, some hardware buttons would stop working and i needed to reflash the rom.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] themanguydude:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
Then you're doing it wrong. :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dd0322:
when i flash the latest version, in jellybean and enter cwm when my phone's booted up (the app) it tells me cwm is outdated with this version?..

i tried reflashing, and restarting and starting cwm.. its all succesfull

but i keep getting the message cwm is outdated on jellybean.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
That's just how it is, everything works though.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] PSH:
The problem is that now, CWM tells it's outdated and don't show up a lot of features. Cannot backup rom through CWM, for instance.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
You mean when you reboot to recovery the backup doesn't work?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
CWM app doesn't support JB yet.Is not fully compatible. ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] PSH:
No. I mean, before, I had the possibility to backup directly from CWM and now I have to reboot to recovery to backup.

Not a big problem, but if there was a solution, would be better.

Ok. Understand.

The solution is to wait :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ali4796:
Yes, you were right

There is no problem with this version and new sweden JB official ROM

Thanks:good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 3tybagig:
Probably not necessary but I have attached the message in jb.

If you reboot into recovery you can still backup as normal but some functions of cwm apk aren't working yet in the ui under jb.

I'm sure the application will get updated but for now just reboot into recovery for backing up.

Thank you chainfire for your continued awesome work.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lduberti:
for me it is impossible to achieve having root access jelly bean with CF-Root 6.4 in GS3, I have original rom of Spain, try more of once you do it but it is always the same message "This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWMv1.1 or newer bla bla bla" any ideas or solution to this?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bdastoor:
The fact that CWM opens evidences you have root. As has been asked many times and answered many times ... the CWM app is not completely compatible with Jelly Bean. You need to boot into Recovery for the Backup and Restore function. But if you use any app which needs root you will find that it works.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] BadBoyDil:
Awsome

Thanks Chainfire, you the best
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KrewsialNL:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aiu:
Guys,

Anybody knows if SGS3 will get a CF-Auto-Root? The version without flashing a custom recovery? The custom recovery messes up OTAs in JB I think.

Kr,

Alex.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
You can always get a custom ROM with the OTA built in, the CWM recovery is much better than stock anyway. Nandroid backups are a lifesaver! :)

Hi

I am rooted with cf root 6.4 and am running ICS 4.0.4. All the previous OTA updates I got worked fine. Ran the OTA, installed fine, lost root and just rerooted with CF. Should the process be the same with JB?

Many thanks

No the CF ROOT 6.4 dosen t work with Jelly Bean

So you mean if i update using OTA the phone may not boot? Or do you mean i can update OTA and it should be ok i would just loose root access?

yesterday i have had some problems with the cf root. i have update to the New jb update for germany, restarted and the s3 was very fast and had no laggs.

then i tryed to Flash cf root 6.4...

on First Flash it doesn't work. on second Boot the bootloader installed the root and the Phone Boots.

but everytime i've touched the Display the Phone stuck and Hot reboots or freezes on Black screen. only way was to pull the battery.

then in cwm i fixed the permissions and cleared dalvic Cache.

now jb is running rooted but Not so fast as before.

is it normal that cf root doesn't work without fixing permissions?

could it be that the laggs Come from the freezes before and pulling the battery?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] onesolo:
What is done?!?

With that method did you get root and the device stays "not modified" status?!?

Does anyone knows if Chainfire can update CF-Root in order to not appear modified in the system status?!? Or this isn't releated with CF-Root?!?

System status will go back to normal when a stock rom is flashed, not related.

yes it was rooted and i have installed the update with Kies.

it wasn't the First time i've rooted it After flashing but the only one with problems

now everything is fine. i only unrooted it, installed jb with odin and rooted again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] corkie1:
Hi just so I'm clear on this. Flash cf root. When you say ""once flash is done, reboot in recovery with VolUp+Home+Power" do you mean power off your phone at this point with the power button or what sequence do you do?

Jelly Bean OTA

My phone has just updated itself OTA to jelly bean. When I press software update to check it says Updates not available as device is modified.

Am a bit confused, can I now root using 6.4 as I usually do and then triangle away?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Prodepressiva:
I noticed laggines after rooting with CF-Root at my last stock ICS build. I still kept it.

Now my phone updated itself over OTA to JB (XXDLIH) and the phone is CRAZY SMOOTH, even in battery saving mode where it runs only with 1 core at 800Mhz.

Now I read about the lag problems of others after rooting again.

I don't wanna loose the smooth performance again after rooting so what's the easiest way to root my new build? I just need root, busybox and CWM because I want to install the CRT-off animation and use Titanium Backup.

I like CF-Root because it is so simple and doesn't add too much gimmicks. Or none at all.

But I think it needs an update by Chainfire (especially CWM because of the "wrong version" error).

Thanks
