The last 3 people have said they were using version 5.8.4.5, You just gave me the link to 5.8.4.7.Are these the same?? I just want a solid working recovery that will see both int and ext sd cards that will back-up and restore. I didn't think this great phone would have so many issues with a simple recovery. HELP.

Thanks guys for all the help,

Vinny

Here is a link for the touch version of 5.8.4.5 for the tmo GS3.

link

To load this .img file:

1. Rename the file to

cwmtr.img

to make this easier.

2. Place cwmtr.img in the root of your internal sdcard

*type the following steps in terminal emulator (free on google play).

3. su

4. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

5. reboot recovery

Now try mounting the internal sdcard in recovery under mounts and storage if that is what you were looking for. Hope this helps someone else out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
5.8.4.5 is the CWM touch recovery that can backup, restore, and see both int/ext SD cards. The later versions only install from internal. They won't backup or restore, or see the ext SD card.

Edit: Seems my restores from 5845 have trouble with Google play for some reason. Clear cache, dalvik, etc doesn't clear the problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] m3x1cant7863:
Anyone else having problems with mounting /sdcard? It won't mount. The screen flashes real quick, but nothing changes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AllAboutAndroids:
Quick and easy method :D

Thanks!

P.S Both internal and external cards are working without having the need to go to Mounts and Storage to mount them.

Will this trip the "counter" thing I've been reading about. I have my S3 that I didn't start using yet. I want to make a toolkit for the phone to make stuff easier. Especially being new to Samsung and all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
If you flash via ODIN method, this will trip the counter. If you flash through adb or terminal (after unzipping and having the bare image) it will not. Flashing a custom anything with ODIN trips the flash counter.

On the otherhand chainfire has made a mobile odin app and the triangle away. Both amazing apps, anyone worried about the flash counters should consider getting the donate versions of these apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasoon2000:
So Odin is just an easier way to flash things? So I can just use adb and fastboot to flash the bare IMG file? This is for when I need to make my scripts for my toolkit.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
Not as easy using adb as it was on HTC devices. The instruction at the first post describe how to use adb or teminal emulator. Hope that helps out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rhonal89:
I have Rom manager premium and once i install it from the play store at the bottom of the app said's flash touch recovery but it cost .99 cent bought it and flashed it and its great. Also gave me a popup when I first chooses to flash T-Mobile recovery from rom manager.

So if you don't mine spending .99 cents the go that way. Also supports the developer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
How's the external sdcard support working for you?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] moonfire711:
Yeah, I'm not against anyone who wants to pay for it. I did point people to the official site for the download of it though, so they are okay with it being given out for free.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
I prefer to donate for things myself, but CWM does offer the downloads free from their official site. I'll donate once I can upgrade from 5.8.4.5 with everything working as it should. I have the donate version of rom manager and don't feel I should donate again for an incomplete work in progress recovery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilroy672:
The link does not work. Is the 5.8.4.7 the newst one? Also will this give me the sd external support?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
5.8.4.5 has external sd card support, the later ones don't.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilroy672:
Thanks, just flashed through Odin and everything went smooth.:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ImARaptor:
So I was on CWM 5.5.0.4. and wanted to update it to this newer touch version in the OP, so I flashed it through ODIN, but now whenever I reboot into recovery it is my old recovery (non touch 5.5.0.4.) whats the deal?... Thanks!

EDIT: In ODIN, I checked pda, made sure the com # was present, flashed the ,tar and waited until it said "PASS"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
Not too sure what to say, have you tried the other method of installing the recovery? Just extract the .img file and use terminal emulator.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
5.5.0.4 was for the international version wasn't it? This is a T-Mobile US version and flashes to a different block I believe.

If you are on T-Mo, then make sure you have the correct drivers on your PC, your phone is in DOWNLOAD mode before you plug in USB and fire up ODIN. Use the latest ODIN 3.07 for T-MO Leaving Auto Reboot and f.reset checked.

If your still coming up short, use the dd= method to flash via terminal emulator.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] franknozly:
That is odd isn't it? A later version (5.8.4.7) removes support for external SD card. That's like.. a step back, not forward right? LOL.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
Yep. I doubt anyone has a good answer to that question besides Koush. :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggnoodle:
Silly question - when I connect phone via usb - do I place the file along side the Card and Phone storage, and NOT into either of the 2 storage?

thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
When using adb/terminal emulator, you want the image in the "sdcard" folder or internal SD card. The root of the card, not in any folders or anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lw00d:
i am running CWM touch v5.8.4.7

Some ppl don't even have The brain to read 4 post ahead of theirs... smh
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] raykovitz:
Does anyone think this will work?

1. from the xda app, download the tar file

2. using Root Explorer find the tar file in xda downloads

3. open the tar file and copy the recovery img

4. paste the recovery.img in dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

The recovery.img you paste should overwrite the original recovery.img
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
Not sure if simply overwriting the file installs it. I made the tar file so I could flash via mobile odin.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
Thank You very much for your very good instructions. I downloaded terminal emulator from the playstore and renamed the recovery as you explained and I am now looking at my new recovery. Could not have gone any easier. Thanks again. Your instructions were spot on.

Vinny

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

This is version # 5845 and when going to the website they say the correct # to use is 5847, This version 5845 is no where on that site. Not questioning your recovery but what is the difference between the two?

Thank you,

Vinny
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
I am keeping version 5.8.4.5 up for people that want internal and external SD card support. It will stay up untill CWM updates with a 100% working recovery that offers internal and external SD card support. If you want to know all the differences read the thread. All I'm currently interested in is the SD card support.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
I want the sd card support as well. That is why I chose to use 5.8.4.5. I just don't know why anyone would want the so called newer version when it just doesn't support the ext sd card. Again, thanks for your great instructions. I guess it shows the newer version isn't always the best.

Thanks,

Vinny

Has anyone had problems with random reboots after installing touch from regular cwm? I was on non touch now I'm on touch and had a few reboots..... BUT... I did just install a new Rom R6 and upgraded from faux 10u to faux 11u any options?

Please? Anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cobra281:
sorry, i'm confused... which method will NOT trip the flash counter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
As long as you flash nothing in Odin, you will not trip your counter. Use the terminal method. Anyway, if you trip the counter, just use Triangle Away to reset the counter back to zero.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cobra281:
yikes, and the only way to flash CWM recovery is to type it via terminal? that method scares me...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
Keep in mind that Mobile Odin by chainfire doesn't trip flash counter and the .tar file is flashable through that.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Since the update to T999UVALH2, CWM recovery won't stick anymore. The system re-writes stock recovery upon the first reboot. So you can flash CWM recovery from ROM Manager and then boot into it, but after you reboot even once the stock recovery gets rewritten.

Is there a way around this? (Aside from reflashing CWM every time I need to use it...)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
Team Win Recovery doesn't stick either. The new OTA update Over rides all custom recoveries. This sucks. There must be a way around this. Hopefully the devs can figure this out.

Vinny
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oregondave:
Thanks for this.

Man the OP is confusing. It doesn't clearly differentiate between ODIN and the DD method. This needs a re-write.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
Are you rooted properly? Have you flashed a custom recovery yet?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
Can always do the official update through odin. Goto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1838101 and download the update, re-root, and then install a UVALH2 rooted rom. Always backup you phone before making any changes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lunatixz:
Thanks... I Know there are other was to install the update... but I'm also interested in knowing if its possible to restore original recovery through terminal?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
Through Terminal? If you have the recovery image available I am sure it's possible. Personally for an original recovery I would recommend flashing through ODIN or Mobile ODIN. I'm sure less problems would arise that way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darkdelusions:
Sorry for the stupid questions in advance.

When using the dd method the recovery should be permanent correct? I have used the dd method twice and it works fine when I do the frist reboot recovery. However as soon as reboot and try to go back into the recovery it goes back to the stock recovery instead of CWM

I am running the T999UVALH2 build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aaldiar:
when you flashed UVALH2 version, did you flash the stock ODIN version first and re-root your phone? That's how I did it and the recovery sticks just fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cobra281:
you may have to follow these steps to keep it from flashing the stock recovery every boot:

This does not explain what happened at all. It has happened to me as well. The OP has not been updated with this info. I'll have no problem flashing back with Odin, but as far as I can see there is no way for me to flash this using terminal emulator. Why did the phone go into download mode after entering "reboot recovery".:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoKas:
Hello guys (and dolls), i'm new here, my name is Leo, and last week I got my sons Galaxy I (GTI9000) with, if I remember well Froyo 2.3.

This is way too old, and so, the last couple of days I've been trying to look for how to change (root) this.

I followed the path here and (with the aid of some) got as far as working with Android SDK dev kit, and Odin 3 1.83.

It looked ok, but i'm a bit stuck.

Sure hope, i'm at the right stop here, otherwise please forward this to the correct place, moderators.

Q1: I now have a (vol- + home + on) way to set the phone in download, which I succesfully used to download a second copy of a bootloader (P-SBL.tar.md5.tar) as I thought the first didn't really got in as it should. This is because I can't get the recovery (vol+ + home + on) to get to work.

It just won't start, also after the dl of the first bootloader, and the 'new' one, I get all kinds of colorfull lines during startup, which I didn't have before?

Q2: The obvious goal is to replace the Rom with the Cyan or Darky, I see good things about both, still Cyan (the ver 7 stable one) seems the best?

Q3: In the stufff I read here, SuperOneClick (in case of Cyan, if I remember well) should do the root and dumping, so I guess I'm still not rooted, could this have anything todo with Q1?

Thanks in advance, and the patience to help a noob, well, bit more then that,

Leo.

Hi there,

The USB connector on my Xperia X10 is not working and cannot be repaired. I am looking for a fully working Xperia X10 motherboard that I can use to replace the motherboard in my phone with.

Please contact me if you have an Xperia X10 motherboard for sale OR any information about where I could find one.

Thanks.

[P.S. I'm a new user and thus cannot post in the 'Looking to Buy' section of the Marketplace].

_________________________________________________________________________

Update: Someone advised me to change the PCB of the USB Connector because it will be a cheaper alternative to replacing the motherboard. I've heard that the process is a risky one and could result in a completely dead phone.

Does anyone want to comment on that?

So my gf text'd me this earlier today.

" Yesturday the touch screen wasn't wanting to work and then totally flipped out and was the screen was looking like it had a seizure. So I closed the browser and it was fine now it won't show me any content on web pages and keeps opening new windows and won't let me close them.... I think a trip to barnes and noble is needed."

I think it is funny that she didn't mention this yesterday.

So far I told her to shutdown, and restart but she has not gotten back to me on that.

Any ideas other than a factory reset, or taking it in to b&n?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
which browser is she using? sounds like a nasty virus on windows lol. If she has firefox or something she will be better using stock, dolphin or opera browser.

Test other browsers and see if the problem persist if it does then just clean up the table with a wipe data /factory reset, don't forget to backup the current apps with titanium backup but i wouldn't restore any suspicious apps.

There is a thread with a YouTube link some where in the gnote forum about linero..

They are able to achieve a 20 to 50% perfomance improvement with the same hardware - no overclocking.. The thing is, when you add it all up, the recent ics update, the source code release, and the linero optimizations; then you factor in a cadre of fantastic rom developers, what you get is.....

You think so? Project butter is awesome according to a lot of people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vizographic:
There has been some discussion regarding project" butter tweaks" and the very real possibility that butter is full of cherry picked Linaro gems. If that is true, then we are looking at much the same thing. Still, I would prefer that our developers have the ability to cherry pick Linaro, specifically with our device in mind, rather than a more general... the one size fits all approach Google developers are forced to take.

Take a look at:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lina...-and-showing-the-power-of-Open-Source_id31140

(The writer does such a good job of summarizing Linaro; so good in fact, he makes me believe that I understand it.)

And also the xda thread:

"Android Development and Hacking>Android Q&A>[Q] Butter vs Linaro".

(It is a very short thread, easy reading, and they have that Linaro YouTube video linked to play within the thread. In the video they run two operations side by side to show before and after while the developer explains and answers questions. The Linaro developer - has got to be seen to be believed... No really, I'm not kidding. He is computer geekness, wikapedia should post his pic under the definition.)

**warning*"just opinionated rant below!

:)

Last, and not least, the best thing about Linaro group- they are practical and highly productive Opensource subversives, they methodically underminine attempts to lock down and " Iphone" the android ecosystem. No small matter, given the phenomenal growth and it's pervasive utilization in our society.
