There is a way for unscrupulous kernel devs to just do that. But manipulating some particular IO code (can't remember where and don't care) that doesn't actually improve the kernel, just a score for bragging rights.

Photoshop is another way :p

Thanks for this post because I had no idea this was out there. I have a few questions. How is this differ from clockword MOD Recovery? What does TWRP even stand for? Also in version 5.4.8.5 works on the internal and external mounts of the SD Cards and it only backs up the system as opposed to the media at the time. You mind schooling me on the differences of this and clockwork Mod? Thanks

TWRP=TeamWin Recovery Project,i know that part.:o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] john9:
Nice work, I'm surely gonna try .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] asatnik11:
Installed it last night using these instructions and it works. Haven't exhaustively tested it yet though.

Hopefully someone will build an Odin .tar or a cwm flashable package soon to make it noob-friendly. I'd hate to see someone brick from a typo :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
Great find, trying this out now, seems to work so far. Also for anyone who isn't comfortable with ADB, you can follow the instructions from 'su' on the OP and install this with Terminal Emulator as well.

EDIT: I can also verify that TWRP does mount both internal and external SD via the local file manager, however I haven't been able to mount it with my computer. Also, TWRP by default back-ups to your sd-card and not the phone the way it should.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
agree, i may try to tar this up since i have wubi on vm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tennandcoz1:
All you have to do to flash this is go to market and look up goo.im app.After you download app hit menu then install open recovery script.Done
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mightykc:
Tried that. Only Verizon SG3 is supported via this method.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kambiz.aghaiepour:
what are the benefits of this over CWM recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
A bit more user friendly in my opinion. Plus a few additional options that cwm doesn't have like a built in file manager, and stock it writes to sd card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] airtower:
This flashes fine on an ATT SGSIII, but I cannot mount the internal sdcard. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
You will need to go into Mount and ensure that SD Card is checked. This will not allow your computer to see it, however you will be able to view the SD Card from the built in file manager and back-up/restore to the SD Card as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] airtower:
No dice. The option to mount the sdcard is there and it is unselected, but I am not able to select it. No need to have it visible via USB for me, but backup/restore and most importantly the ability to flash from the sdcard are must haves.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
It seems a bit finicky, I would try clicking on and around until it selects. I don't think you being on AT&T would affect that, but that could always be a possibility as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zephyron:
From my trials, I have noticed that if you press on it, even though it doesnt show it is selected, it probably is. Go to backup and check out the available size and see if it matches up with your SD card. Worked this way for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
Has anyone on Tmobile flashed many roms with twrp yet, and has anyone had any of the dreaded losing imei issues? I'm currently on the Sprint cwm from team epic, but I have the Tmo gs3. The Tmo cwm would not recognize my external sd card & that's a must for me, I even tried the touch version. With all these reports of ppl losing their IMEI #, I haven't been able to flash any rom for fear id brick my phone & my flash counter is already tripped. Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated, as I loved twrp on my Transformer Prime & I feel it may be safer for preserving my imei that cwm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
i flashed 3 different roms today with no issues and used nandroid once, hope that helps ya.(2 kernels also)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
I can also verify that it works without any issues. I flashed CM9 and then restored my TW after toying around with it for a bit. No issues here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] airtower:
No, still not coming up with anything in /sdcard. If I hit the "terminal" button in the center, it reads E: Can't mount /sdcard. I flashed CWM orginally using a different out file path in the dd command, but if my linux knowledge serves me correct it still points to the same memory blocks. I've flashed back and forth between CWM and TWRP several times to no avail. Also, I'm flashing this via terminal emulator and not adb but I doubt that makes a difference either.

Edit: internal sdcard shows up under /data/media. this breaks recovery scripts that sen TWRP looking for /sdcard, but at least I can flash manually from TWRP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
I'm doing something wrong trying to install this through the terminal emulator... I type su, but then when I type the command dd if=twrp8.img of=dev/block/platform/, I get the response "cannot open for write: is a directory" & before moving it from the download folder to sd card & extsdcard I got the msg "cannot open for read: no such file or directory"? Here's a screen shot if anyone can help? I'd like to do this through the emulator as I won't be near a pc until much later this evening when I get home and I'm not that comfortable with adb.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
Doesn't look like you're typing out the full command dd if=/sdcard/twrp8.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
Lol, thank you so much and I hate to sound like a knuckle head, but I thought that was the next line, not the same line. :-) I guess I know even less about terminal than adb, but hey I'm learning... :-)

Has anyone heard of any of the lost imei issues happening while using the twrp recovery? I'm asking because I've been looking into the issue alot, and I think it may be related to how cwm wipes our phones? Thanks I will advance! B-)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
I've had 0 issues using TWRP -- However you can follow the IMEI thread in the AT&T forum that might shed more light on it. To my knowledge, it's an issue regardless of recovery. I've used both, wiped data with both, and haven't had the issue. So I'm not sure what's going on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker0906:
I want to install this but have never used terminal...can you give me dummy instructions...thank you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mi|enko:
I can 2nd this. I've had no issues with TWRP. Additionally, I'm using the new iteration of CWM and have had no issues with that either (and I formatted my /system partition!). Note that I only used the original CWM release for the initial root and then immediately went to TWRP. So maybe it's an issue with the original CWM that was released?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker0906:
O it has to be cwmMost

I was thinking the same thing.maybe its the hacked cwm from sprint. Most issues have been att and they still have that cwm as their main method to root on their forum so most probably stay with it. I definitely think its cwm related their is a guy posted in general he lost imei just by flashing su
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MacTheRipperr:
Question, when wiping using this recovery do I wipe system as well? I really really really don't want to lose my imei again. And all signs point to cwm. But I really don't know yet. I want to continue flashing roms but still sketchy about it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
Wipe Cache/Davlik Cache/Factory Reset - These are the three you do when flashing a new rom. You lost your IMEI and had to get a new phone already?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djintrigue808:
What version of CWM did you have when you lost it if you dont mind me asking? Sorry to hear that tho. :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker0906:
I am confused. This is my first time using twrp. I did a backup and it backed up to internal bit while in recovery I can't see my internal so it don't show backup on restore. How do I see internal memory as I need to be able to see cause I always download from phone and flash from internal. Thanks for help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
1. Download Terminal Emulator (TE) from the Play Store

2. Place the Ttwrp8.img file on the root of your SDCard (Internal phone storage)

2. Open TE

3. Type the following commands in this order:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp8.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

reboot recovery

After you type reboot recovery, it will do as it says and reboot your phone into recovery. From here you will be good to go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] darren.wlsn1:
backup/restore/restore/then look at bottom for internal
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
It's hard to decipher exactly what you're trying to say here --

Here is my best crack at your problem -- It sounds like it didn't back-up to your internal, it probably backed up to your ext-sd. Go into MOUNT and ensure that SD-Card is selected. Then go into 'Advanced' -> File Manager and look to see if there is TWRP folder on your SD-Card, if there is, it backed up to the ext-sd and not internal. If this is the case, you need to go back into MOUNT and touch the External options - Note: it will not show that it is selected, however, it is. Now go back into your Recovery option, and you should see your backup. If not, just look into your internal phone and go through the same steps/process.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker0906:
Thank you....I don't see what the rave is about this recovery. It is buggy as hell and don't really work to well. I can't choose int or ext on the bottom buttons in the mount section internal always stays check. When I mount the cards nothing changes unless I go to settings and hit default but its still hit or miss trying to change between cards. Then I went to reboot and it told me I had no os!!!! And stayed that way until I wiped cache....I never used such a buggy ass program in my life....and it was released like this....what a shame I guess I should be grateful for hack work. I fix cars for a living if my work was of this quality I would be fired. OK end of my rant. Am I really the only one experiencing this. Dev thanks for the effort
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MacTheRipperr:
I was using the the hacked sprint one. Bit I lost imei after I flashed a T-Mobile version. It was either that or cwm erased something it shouldn't have when I flashed aosp.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] unleashed12:
hey guys if i wanted to flash this on the rogers/att s3 , would i use this push the recovery to the same place you guys do dd if=/sdcard/twrp8.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

or here? dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

or it doesnt matter? just wondering, thanks for any help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kennii:
i can see files on my internal sd using this, havent tested external yet

edit: guess u must have a ex sd in to see the files on the SDs'
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zephyron:
Im on v2.1.8 and when i go to Mount ---> click on the left circle (Using external SDCard) ---> back ----> Backup; Free Space shows 18,397 Mb which checks out. You can tell if its not mounted when you go into backup and Free Space is 0. Hope that helps

On a side note has anyone flashed CM9 with TWRP yet??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker0906:
Where did you get that version 2.18 from
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zephyron:
The rootzwiki thread, originally found it there first. What version are you on?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker0906:
I left it it was to buggy but I thought it was 1. Something but I could be wrong
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sleevasteve:
I'm sure I'm missing something here, but I've tried to use terminal and adb, and can't seem to get past the su command. It's either saying su not found, or read only file system(depending if i put a ">" symbol before it or not-are you supposed to use this symbol?). I have su and it works fine as I use titanium backup. It never asked for root permissions when opening terminal. Also, can I use adb with a computer, even though I'm on AOKP and can't connect to my pc? I'm very new to adb and terminal. Want to back up and flash TWRP so I can flash AOKP JB!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
clear android terminal out of the list of apps in SuperSU or SuperUser, whatever you have. Then launch terminal again and type su. Should promt for root access. Without granting root access to terminal you wont get too far.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sleevasteve:
Terminal Emulator doesn't show up in my su app. That's the issue, it never asked for root permissions. I even uninstalled and reinstalled. Thanks for the help.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
It will only ask when you type "su" in your terminal session. That's when it is asking for root, not on initial launch.

Also try updating your SuperUser binaries
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sleevasteve:
There was an update for my binaries, so I updated, but when I went back into terminal it still gave me the same errors after typing su and hitting return.

Is there any reason why people aren't using goo manager to install twrp?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Last time I tried it, it didn't work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
all you want to type is "su" minus the " .

I saw in your first post you were putting arrows >, you don't want that. All you type is su, then it will ask for elevated permissions. You must be rooted, else you cant update the su binaries. Your on the stock rom? What terminal emulator are you using?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sleevasteve:
So strange, I tried again today and it worked, I wonder if Swype was changing it to SU, but I'm almost positive it didn't. Either way I'm good now, thanks guys!

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
I think swype will by defualt always capitalize the first letter of a sentence. Watch out with using keyboards like swype in Terminal especially when you are in as su. One typo and oops! Linux is case sensitive of lots of things, so keep that in mind. Executing a command with a -r and a -R have two different meanings for example.

Is anyone else having problems installing cm9 through TWRP?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Paging Dr B:
I had to reboot a few times to see both internal and external. When you launch TWRP go into mount and mount the SDCARD. From there you will two radio buttons. The radio button on the right is ALWAYS (sorry for the caps) selected but it's the one that lies to us. Now select internal sd card and go back and choose install. From here it should show your internal SD card files and from there you can select any rom on your internal card. If you want to go back to your external card, go back to mount, then choose external, and you should then see your external SD card. It is a little buggy but it does work.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tgamble160:
It os much easier to get goo manager from play store and just hit menu then choose install openrecovery script installs it for you in just a coupme seconds dont even need to reboot. And for those asking of the benefits over cwm. As far as I know there has not been a single case of anyone losing the imei using twrp. While quite a few have lost it using cwm and its a pain in the ass to get back. I believe the goo manager app is the reason this wasn't posted the app is just so much easier.

Yeah. I lost mine too and the recoveries didn't work so I got a new phone. Maybe it was more than cwm but I still think bit was that. I was restoring a backup and then it was gone. I too couldn't find twrp unless I wanted to reodin the phone, and just found it the other day by accident using goo manager. Best way to do it. Twrp is sooooo much better.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
If you aren't using it for calls/data, put it in airplane mode so it isn't constantly searching for carrier data signal.

That'll kill your battery, fast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
What you are seeing is the relative battery usage. That just means that the media server and cell standby are using that much more battery based on their use, not an indicator of how much of the battery that service is actually using.

Putting your phone in airplane mode will kill the cell standby service, but I wouldn't worry about the percentages you see on that screen. It's relative data, not emperical.
