I'll try to cook up a script tomorrow that will set the right permissions on everything if you manually "flash" a rom

[MENTION=3125148]kennyglass123[/MENTION]

Yes, exactly that more or less. Tomorrow (hopefully) I will try to get that done for dazeds rom and maybe you can do it for a clean install TPR

Guide I was referring to is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1777579

Yes you can use the automagical (<- not a typo) script that is provided because the partitions are the same

Now that I am caught up reading. I used CF-Auto-Root and his adbd Indirect app and have root with stock recovery. I have been able to install apps with Root Explorer and fix permissions.

I am usually on Strong Steve's Odexed Blue Rom so I would really like to help get this issue corrected.

I read that Chainfire's Mobile Odin may flash custom roms, but don't understand enough to know for sure.

I do have to work tomorrow night so I will be able to help also

This problem is blocking ADB for me in recovery. This is the message I get:

C:\Users\Jakkyl>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

This is with phone connected via USB and in recovery mode.

Same thing with stock recovery and CWM

Is there a way to turn a custom rom into a tar file? Wouldn't that solve our problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bigben7:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
This works great and is what CWM should have evolved to a year ago. This is fantastic. I imagine that eventually the gui will be so refined that you won't even know your in recovery. Great job guys. I know a lot of work went into this. :cool:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
Same reply as to the other guy -- logs or it didn't happen ;)

There's a Copy Log button under advanced. You'll find the log in the root of your internal "sdcard" (/data/media technically). Open it up and paste the results to a paste website or upload to drop box and give me the link.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
Just got it replaced this past week from Best Buy due to cracked screen. Up until now, this phone was very easy. Hopefully the great developers here can fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
The following are all ODINable custom roms.

These will work for the people who have the newest S3's and are unable to flash anything in recovery due to mounting issues

CM 10.1.2 Stable

The People's ROM 3.17

MOAR 5.01

EDIT: Thanks to [MENTION=3825061]notmyepic[/MENTION] it has been reported that the modded recoveries are able to mount storage (internal + external) properly! Have at it flashaholics

Additionally, if the people having mounting issues in custom recoveries can please try one of the following modded recoveries from each MOD group and report back, it would be appreciated.

Mod 1

TWRP_mod.img

CWM_mod.img

Mod 2

CWM_mod2.img

TWRP_mod2.img

You can flash the recoveries using adb as follows:

(ADB binary and img file need to be in the same directory)

adb push <file>.img /sdcard/<file>.img
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/<file>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

If you don't have the ADB binary and don't want to download the entire android sdk, you can grab the bare necessities for ADB in a ZIP file HERE

Please report back as to whether the modded recovery will mount stuff for you in recovery.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nidpancho:
do you need to be in recovery or download to flash the recovery images via adb?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] primo523:

Do I need to put my phone into download or recovery mode in order to use adb?

Also, you can flash either CWM or TWRP from either "MOD" group. Both sets of modded recoveries will work, the second set was just a fallback

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
I have been testing these with CNexus and everyone of them work on the phone. Your phone needs to be on normally to push and flash the img file. Also after flashing you can type reboot recovery to get into recovery through adb

Other than that, yes. Could not mount anything in recovery. Pushed the new modded CWM recovery from today using ADB while the phone was running normally. Rebooted into the updated recovery, no issues mounting. Ran a backup, then installed MOAR. Booted up fine.

I did not do a factory reset, if that matters.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
There's a tar file for MOAR you could flash through Odin. But there's no tar file for recovery. Adb is when you connect your phone to the computer and you use SDK tools to push the IMG files onto your device.

They provide the zip file to get everything you need for SDK.

Batch install

ONE CLICK OPTIONS

OK for those apprehensive about using ADB I have packaged ADB and recovery files together with a batch file.

With the ROM of choice already on your phone or sd card

1. Download recovery below

2. Extract to computer. It will make an ADB folder if extracted correctly.

3. With phone on and USB debugging on, plug phone into computer.

4. In Windows navigate to ADB folder and double click on run.bat

5. A Command prompt window will open, hit any key as instructed

6. If all went well it should boot into the recovery

7. Flash ROM
