Sorry, but can you point me toward some more detailed instructions in using adb shell with the S3? I haven't used it since Dell Streak days, so I'm sorta' rusty on it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jeebspawnshop:
Plug in your phone, then open a command prompt, and go to your adb folder.

From there, type: adb shell

After you get the shell, type: su

Then do what the other guy said :good:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] yuriza:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DonHuan:
Is your card in exFAT? This recovery doesn't see this file system. You have to reformat your card in FAT32 (you will lose all your data!) if you want to use your extsdcard for backups or flashing.

I just tried rom manager but it doesn't really offer anything useful. However installing cwm6 without touch is cool because I find touch isn't suitable for such important actions. It's restored my backups, anything else i'm missing by using it?

The internal sd is only a link to /data/media. So you have to make sure /data is mounted and then push it to /data/media/<and from here where it should be on the internal sd> ;)

exfat is officially licensed to microsoft and not open source so the answer would be not.

No wipe before restoring, during restore process each partition is formatted, so no need.

No exfat card... only fat 32 ( or ext, but I doubt many people use it on sdcard).

I see it still does not recognize exfat.. but fat 32 cnt read 4gb files up.. i guess I ma have to re flash back my old non touch recovery
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mrbuzz1967:
forgive me if this has all been covered but if I want to flash a kernel from recovery do I just flash it with no dalvik or cache wipe?

the reason I ask is when I've tried to flash a kernel before with wipes I just get boot loops even though it's how i've always flashed new kernels on every galaxy variant i've had.

thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] btemtd:
its interesting to hear that it used to support exfat but now it doesnt, isnt that like going backwards in development. Wouldnt it be better to support more as its give us more of a choice. This is why so many people kept using the old CWM because they didnt like the Blob style backup. Now i can see there is 2 options old and new way. which i think is great, just this exfat thing now is probably the only remaining hiccup.

But I Must say excellent work OP. Thank you

After flashing this, my device status is still showing as modified andin download mode it shows a count of 2 (earlier it was 1).

I thought keeping the "Reset Time" option in odin resets the counter to 0.

Thanks! Had been a samsung tab user for long time now but never faced this counter thing.Galaxy phone... I've just started off. Had been on BB for official work for quite some time so missed the custom rom things.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sarbe:
No Odin reset time will not clear triangle. Device status will revert back to normal when a stock rom is flashed.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
As said above Odin reset time isn't for the counter.

To the device status it says modified, because it has detected root, so until you flash a stock rom and don't root it the device status will stay on modified. I haven't tested it yet cause I didn't need my warranty yet, but I'd use mobileodin to flash the stock firmware as it doesn't touch the counter and I don't need to root the phone to reset him and then unroot again,.........

Simply use MobileOdin to flash a stock firmware AFTER you made sure the counter is on zero and you should be ready for warranty.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
Bug. If you try to extract any file to /sdcard it won't work. If you try adb push mod.zip /sdcard it won't work. But here's the workaround: mount data and extract to /data/media. You just need to replace /sdcard to /data/media.

guys i have a sandisk 64gigs card class 10 . i flashed the recovery but it fails to mount it. i didnt format the memory card yet..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] .LeNoire:
I just wondering is it just me or anyone else out there that couldn't mount internal sdcard as I just bricked my phone recently bought and I really need this in order to transfer a rom into it and flash. Whenever I press the mount /sdcard , it just refreshes the page and as if nothing has happened while it still remain as "mount /sdcard" instead of "unmount /sdcard". Worse come to worst , I don't even have a piece of Micro SD card -.- damn
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
hehe, the internal sdcard is ext4 and the /sdcard isn't a partition, it's a link to /data/media.

So you should connect your device in recovery to your pc, mount /data and transfer the file via this command:

adb push <filename> /data/media/<wihsed-folder>

Then it should be available on the internal sdcard ;)

Anyone get the Sd and external card Mount to work with Android File Transfer for mac? It really defeats the purpose for me to download the recent touch version of CWM, if i can't event mount my sd cards. I really hate Samsung for not allowing the SD cards mount with mac that easily. Why can't they just have the cards mount as a flash drive? like the HTC android devices.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] iarapilot:
I was hoping to be able to find a solution to problems I have been having with any recovery method I have tried. I have searched but havent found a solution.

I have been having problems with all CWM/Backup apps on my i9300. I have used toolkit5, onandroid, CF root6.5, CF auto root, and this one. I am on Criskelos ICS v6 rom.

No mater which app I use to backup, at the end of the backup I get no sdcard/.android.secure found and no ext-sd found. I am using a 32gb sd card formatted to fat32.

I initially realized the problem after trying to restore thru CWM. The restore ended in a freeze at the boot screen, so I had to do a factory reset and a full installation of the rom again.

The file structure is different than my Galaxy Note. The path to my sd card is mnt/extSDcard on the S3. Dont know if that has anything to do with it.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
Your errors are not errors. Android secure shouldn't be backed up it's a mess when restoring and I'd usually removed.

The other thing is an old concept from the beginning of android phones when they had little data partitions. It was an added special partition on sdcard used to install apps. It's no more used nowadays.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cmajetic:
Can i restore backups done with the CWM Recovery that comes with the latest CF-Root (5.5.x.x i think)?

I heard that it is not possible some time ago but when you can do backups in the old format the restore should work too, right?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] iarapilot:
I dont quite understand. I dont have an android secure folder in the location that CWM says. But, I guess I just would like to know which app will provide a complete, working restore when I need to do one. On my Note and Tab 7.7 I have had no problems with CWM.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] habylab:
Always happened on both my Galaxy S and S3. Assume it is normal?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mikep99:
Nothing to worry about - its for when you have apps moved to the external sd card which isnt possible on the GS3.

Just ignore the messages.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
That's what I said, nobody has this!

I've always had those messages on my devices using cwm! Your backups are complete and functional!

It depends on how the recovery is compiled, perhaps some dev are cleaning the code. Even in twrp I have this.

Frankly give up worrying about this.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wizzbang3:
Can someone explain to me the file structure for the backups in the clockworkmod directory?

I always thought each new backup was a big, individual "nand" backup which I could 'double backup' off the device anywhere, simply by copying the "2012-10-29.21.33.03" directory for example, however mine only contains about 17mb of files and a HEAP of files in the blobs directory, shouldn't it be like 1gb or so?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] iarapilot:
Well, I would forget about it, but that means I have no way to do a CWM backup and restore. Which means if I lock the phone by flashing or whatever, I have to do a total reinstall. I have done a restore once already, and got stuck in the bootloop.That just doesnt seem satisfactory. My SGS2 and Note have never had a problem being restored with CWM. Oh well! :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
What do you mean ? Your backup is fully functionnal !! These are not error messages, just information ones! Did you at least try to restore ? How can you just say that because you see two lines on a log your backup is screwed? While several users said to you that it doesn't matter?

Just backup and restore and stop this. I'm using CWM and TWRP on three different devices and all of them display thoses messages and my backups are OK!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] iarapilot:
Ok, I understand that they are not error messages. But because I tried restoring 3 backups I had made since I got the phone a week ago, they all failed, so I had to do a complete install again. At the end of the restores in CWM, it said something to the effect that the restore was complete, but that the data could not be restored.

Maybe I have another problem. Dont know. I have been doing this kind of stuff for a few years and thought I knew what I was doing.....and understood it also!

I guess I could make another backup and try to restore it and see how it goes, then actually write down what CWM says at the end. But, I dont want to chance it.

Thanks for the help.

Is it normal for the first Backup made using this recovery to take a long time? My first one took about 15-20 minutes yet the next took only minutes.

Also could I request if possible a secondary check feature into the recovery? For instance when you select backup a box pops up asking if your sure you want to backup. I only ask because I accidentally pressed backup and without needing it another one started and couldn't be stopped. I used to use 4ext which had this feature and this recovery is just as good except for the possibility of selecting things by accident.

Hope you don't think me rude? It's just a request, but thank you for a fab recovery that saves my volume buttons!

My phone has gone a bit crazy and wont get passed the boot screen. I used to have cwm, but rooted the phone back.

Anyway, has anyone got a tar file for the Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) version on http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (before you ask I can't install via mobile Odin as my phone wont load), I can't seem to find it anywhere? Tried using 7zip to create a tar archive but when I tried to flash using odin it crashed it. The file at the top of this thread just fails.

I'll give that a go as well as trying to put a stock rom back on.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wizzbang3:
Hey fellow 64gb Sandisk class 10 owners,............

I went for FAT32 on my card for CWM and it's working.

HOWEVER, I use Winamp and the 'disk access speed' for lack of a better word, is apalling, is this a normal sideeffect of FAT32 or 64gb cards?!

The primary issue is the album art, winamp has a spinning icon that it's loading the pictures and it just sits and sits and sits there, SO slow -was noticably quicker on my 32gb card with the 'normal' format method (dunno if that's FAT32?)
