Not to sound mean... But if you are asking about basic stuff, you might want to:

- Read some threads before you start flashing

- use the search function

- follow the thread instructions following the above two suggestions.

Try to troubleshoot yourself first... All your issues are solvable by searching.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] T3hBraveBoss:
Couldn't find any queries, and so what if it's basic. Everyone has to start somewhere and at some point of time you were in the same position as me; not knowing what to do. So in conclusion don't spark negative comments when I am hundred percent sure you had be in the same spot as me at one point

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] House M.D.:
just install rom manager from google play, and then update the CWM from there.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] T3hBraveBoss:
as I said before I did search before posting, I always try to do so, and it does not explain how to update it; still lost
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Naddict:
Ok.. Did you post this in the cm9 or 10 threads to see if this has been experienced by anyone else? Are you familiar with Odin?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
I agree with this POV.

If someone is having trouble simply installing/updating CWM, they absolutely need to do more reading, or chances are they will badly mess up their phone.

Using ODIN and installing CWM are rooting 101, and I would advise any SGS3 user to make sure they know these 2 bits of software inside and out, before jumping into CM9/CM10, as both are not fully stable, and will require additional knowledge to get them working correctly, if it is yet possible given the current build states of each.

If CWM installs, or ODIN flashes are not pieces of cake for you, you should probably pick a different ROM until they are.

Yes we all started somewhere, but a big tip from experienced users to noobs, is to learn how to swim, before jumping in the deep end. And CM9/CM10 is definitely the "deep end" of the Android pool, at least until the builds reach RC status, if not at least beta, as things wont work, or are yet to come upstream.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Android_Monsters:
It takes as much time to flame as it does to post helpful advice. How do you want to be remembered?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
Telling some one that cant swim, how to jump into the deep end, is not my idea of "helpful" advice. ;)

Sometimes the "helpful" advice is.. "you are not ready yet"

It may not be what the person wanting to jump into the deep end wants to hear, but it may save their phone, until they know what they need to, to get where they want to be.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Naddict:
Thanks man...:good:

I know the sense of panic you have when you trash your phone, here's hoping some users understand that by searching first, almost 98% of the answers are out there.

That being said, I am willing to help out, given what I know, but I am willing to bet there are posts already done that lay it out there, step by step, on how to recover from this...???

Again, to anyone seeing this, not trying to be a **** here, but the search function really has tremendous value when looking, don't just try one term, use several variants of terms when searching. I bet you'll find something, heck..you may find out something off your first search topic that'll get you there better or quicker.

I am yet to find a guide that suits my standard of usage; it would be nice for someone to point one out to me instead of making a debate oh whether I can or can not do something - please don't consdend me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
I take it you have the SGS3 for AT&T, correct?

What exactly do you need a guide for, upgrading CWM?

I take you are rooted, what version of CWM do you have, and what version are you trying to upgrade to?

What version & build of CM are you trying to install, the file name should give the specifics?

Does the ODIN count matter to you?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] House M.D.:
okay download CWM for your phone from :http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Rename it to recovery.img , and copy the file to your phone's internal /sdcard

Grab android terminal emulator from the play store and run the same commands starting with su in the box below.

just type: su

then

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

I wanna expore the capabilities of android experiencing the open environment (and try Google now) compared to ios. Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
There are FAR better ways to do this, than to install CM10, which is not fully working, or even CM9. Installing either at this point, especially CM10, will lead to vast frustration, as you bump up against what is yet to be working, or yet to come upstream.

Root your phone, remove the bloat, check out a few themes, check out a few root apps, and start collecting the pieces you wish to have, and want to upgrade.

CM9 & CM10 are VERY stripped down Android builds. They may have extra SETTINGS options, (once they come upstream) but the builds haven't reached that point fully yet, the phones are just to new, and CM9/CM10 are built to be pure Android builds, w/o all the extra bells, whistles, and overlays that Touchwiz brings.

Once the base for CM9/CM10 reach release candidate, or at least beta, you can start from their basic setup and add in all the extras to build the phone setup you favor, but at this point, neither is the best way to currently experience all that ICS for a rooted Android phone has to offer.

You will find out much more by looking into special apps, themes, and other features you can unlock and/or add back, once you have rooted your SGS3.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766999
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
That is a stock ROM, with not to many mods.

my recomendations:

1) gain & verify full root access - > CWM Recovery & SU

2) make sure you have done a nandroid backup, so you have something to recover from, if something you do messes things up

2) check out the root apps, and see what they offer, here is a good thread to check out for apps and what they do

3) checkout what themes are out yet, here is a jellybean based one by ERA you can check out...

At this point, I would check more into app options, than into ROM options, as apps can make many drastic changes to your SGS3. Specifically, look into alternate launchers, such as Go launcher, ADW launcher, and Launcher Pro, these apps change your whole phone interface, without removing the software needed to return back to the basics. Install a home launcher switcher, and you can have a bunch of different launchers, and switch between them at your choosing.

There's only one what to find out...flash it and see if you like it. Just a small bit of advise...read the op in the corresponding thread and read the faq's to that thread if there is one. What ever questions you might have, read the thread to see if it has been asked and answered. If not search is your friend. Just Google what ever your question is and add XDA to it.:D

Good luck and happy flashing.

Just remember...if you screw up your phone...it's no ones fault but yours

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
Looked ok, but as I am leaving my SGS3 with the stock rooted ROM, for a month or two, until all the tweaks for the ROMs are hammered out, I not be the best to ask.

I actually would suggest you try kernel options over ROMs at this point.

I just feel you will get more out of exploring the new things Android and Touchwiz brings, and while there are no doubt a few good ROMs out, I think that since you said you wanted to check out Android VS iOS, that you would be better served with a rooted stock build, and exploring apps, themes, and even tweaked kernels, over a full ROM that is basically a collection of all these someone else has put together.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] T3hBraveBoss:
Very good input sir. Any suggestions on what I should tweak with the kernel?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jasvncnt1:
OK no offense but you saying AOKP is better then stock or anything else is your opinion. Whether I agree with you or not its an opinion so no reason arguing that. I think..and I may be wrong....DC was just saying for him to give stock a shot for awhile to get a feel for Android. Maybe add a few apps and see whats out there before jumping into ROM's. He can decide if he likes TW or not just by using a different launcher. If he jumped to AOKP or a ROM that doesnt have it he wouldnt know .This would probably also give OP time to read up on the whole rooting/flashing and whatever else. There really is no reason to make a quick jump onto a ROM especially if your kinda new to Android. That new ROM your looking to try or the latest Kernel isn't going anywhere. Enjoy the experience
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
Correct, if you jump directly to CM, AOSP, or AOKP you would have no way to check out Touchwiz features.

​

The current working Recovery systems are as follows.....

I actually got bored this evening and flashed every known recovery setup i could find lol...believe me there's a lot of them lol!

These are for everyone but use with caution.

I will of course add any working recovery programs available to us up asap. I am aware of a few 5.0.2.7 CWM but i yet to find a working one. 5.0.2.8 as far as i know doesn't work, the copy found in these boards is a port and isn't reliable.

RaidZero Recovery 2.1.4

This recovery is nice to use, quick and smooth, but by using this, you cannot backup ext2/3/4 (sd-ext)

It backs up everything else nicely and smaller than CWM.

ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6

This is the Normal Recovery Program that we all use.

Now Installation of these is easy.

Now everyone should by now if there here looking at this, be able to get to bootloader..! (I hope anyway)

If not follow these steps

1-Take battery out

2- Insert battery

3-Hold the volume down key and press the power button at the same time.​

now Hboot menu will appear, wait for it to do its check etc.

4-Select fastbootmode
​

Now you need you PC Cable plugged into the fone and PC, i am also assuming by reading this you already have adb cmds setup and know the basics of using them. For those that don't please search the appropriate threads in these sections for those details.

5-Open the DOS cmd window in Windows and get to your adb folder.​

Example (c:/android-sdk/platform-tools)

you will need the recovery.img file which will be listed below this thread for download, place into the c:/android-sdk/platform-tools folder. Unzip the files which contain recovery.img into the c:/android-sdk/platform-tools using winrar/winzip program.

6- using this cmd > fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (copy and paste into the cmd window)​

it will now flash the recovery.

once done, unplug your cable from the phone and select bootloader option.

now wait till it searches again, and then scroll down and seldet recovery.

These recoverys are designed buy users for users, raidzero recovery does not have any support any-more, CWM for us isn't official either, but both work!

By undertaking these steps i hold no responsibility to damage of any-kind to your phone, not that anything will happen!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jpxdude:
Nice piece, although I would consider the Madfinger games in the list, specifically Dead Trigger. Aside from having outstanding graphics and being free, if you have an OTG adapter and plug in a PS3 gamepad, it feels like a transformed game.

In my opinion, this game is the closest to offering a console-style experience so far with a gamepad, as the controls are incredibly tight. Try it with a controller if you are able!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Kidromulous:
Madfinger game are awesome and will make my follow up. Here's why I didn't add dead trigger. It is fun but pretty mindless game play and we despise games leveraged by in app purchases.

The android market desperately needs an adventure / RPG genre. So I think he's right in that for market categories it'd fall under action.

I like glwg too although the latest update made it unplayable on the n7. I might try gbwg. For arcade, I do like spirit xhd.

Plus, in all honesty, I think there needs to be a rating system other than opinions.

Order and chaos, while a fun game, is very slow at the point I'm at and is a little choppy for 1.5ghz and 484 GPU on a 15+ Mbit connection.

It should probably be rated based on gameplay, replay ability, game performance / app design, graphics, etc.
