Why you don't try version flashable from bootloader?

Don't know what that means.

Please help how to do a version flashable from bootloader ??
[HTC Wildfire S] EdikNeznanov:
it's not RUU, you just move it to sd card and turn on hboot menu (volume down + power button) and it flashes by itself. it name must be PG76IMG.zip . i will search it for you after some time.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shared_ptr:
Check for the file named “.nomedia” (without quotes) in the root folder of your SD card. This file tells media scanner not to search for media in this folder and its subfolders. If you find this file in the root directory then simply delete it. The issue is caused probably by newest ROM manager. Some users report that this file is recreated after reboot. In this case I would temporary downgrade the ROM Manager to older version. Hit the THANKS button if I helped you ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dttungz:
Clearing cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions don't work. Strange thing is that newly captured screenshots and photos appear in the Gallery app right away. The disappearance apply just to the existing images and music files in built-in Gallery and Music app. Third-party image browsing apps like QuickPic are behaving correctly (showing all images, respecting .nomedia on selected folders appropriately.) Third-party music players (Google Play Music, Winamp, etc.) however can't find any music tracks, behaving exactly like the original Music app. Bumping so that yozgatg might take a look.

Hi,

I was told that the ICS I have installed (see below) is the worst of the Samsung's ICS (battery usage and general performance) and since I am a heavy user of the Note (and love it), I thought I'd ask for recommendations for replacements.

I am not a fancy user. I don't need or want a lot bells and whistles as I am unlikely to use them. I am looking for a reliable, stable ROM.

If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
just an after thought...

I never could ever simply understand why a simple installation of a kernel like speedmod can work wonders on our phone.

This is just me or what, but throughout some of the threads I read, it seemed that speedmod kernel is the best alternative kernel to choose from whenever you want to flash to any ROMs.. Though I'm not discounting the fact that Notecore can do this as well, but it seems speedmod is like that little unknown hero that saves the day when it seems your at your wits end to look for solutions e.g. brick and such.

Are you shure nothing will go wrong if we follow the steps you described. By the way its a great step by step description to get cm10. Can you post some screenshots of your phone. Thank you

I am itching to try it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I tried the 8/15 yesterday but flashed back to stock mainly because the phone wasn't seeing my ext SD card. Also it died on me I had to do a battery pull to get it back. I may have to try this out. Also I could not get WiFi tether to work or the built in portable hotspot. It sucks too because I actually pay for the service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
I'm in the process of getting some screenshots up, and I can't 100 percent confirm that it will work for you but if you follow the instructions I think theres a great chance :)

What do you mean it "wasn't seeing it"? Didn't it show up in certain apps or recovery or what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I think it was the music app and a bunch of photos

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
You might try reformatting your card in your computer, but if that doesnt work I had a similar problem a while ago. For me I had to dig around in the preferences of my music player to direct it to the right folder (it would be mnt/extsdcard/[music folder]). It might be trying to find your music/pictures in the phone's internal memory rather than its SD card.

It was in the post on Cyanogenmod's Google+ page, OP updated. Sorry about that :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
hmmm idk if i did something wrong the first time but i got the big yellow ! saying to bring my phone to big red about unofficial software going on it and i had to odin back to rooted stock to have access to my phone.....ill try using CWR instead of TWRP in hopes that i didn't screw something up in TWRP since im so familiar w/ CWR

note: i did that before finding this guide, im following this guide to a T and will follow up results tomorrow on it, so not trying to scare anyone from trying it, just saying i used my own method compiled from a few guides on here which consisted of using the root method listed in this guide, TWRP recovery from the unofficial cm10 guide, the cm10 files from cyanogenmods g+, and the gapps file from the cm10 guide haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
I'm almost postive TWRP is your problem. I first tried it with the CWM touch version and that didn't work for me either. I think CM10/CM9 are very picky about which recoveries are compatible. Let me know how it goes for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Make sure you use the non touch recovery 6.something and that you are unlocked. It was probably because you were not unlocked properly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
i used the unlock that was mentioned in the guide as people were reporting it was successful unlocks on the forums so i went ahead and used that.....im making my initial backup right now thru CWM non-touch and im gonna drop the zips for CM10 and gapps and will flash in the morn, im tired lol

one thing i did notice though is that for some reason my drivers are saying hardware id missing, and that only happened after root......i kept my imei but lost my hardware id lmao, i can still drag/drop files onto my phone but i have to switch from MTP to PTP mode for usb settings then switch it back to MTP to get access to the card/phone drives
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
Cell is correct, make sure you are using the "CWM 6.0.1.0" version. I'll update the OP so others don't get confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Thank you for your efforts OP.

Some friendly advice to you newer enthusiasts; be aware of bugs. If the CM team says this is an alpha build, you will more than likely hit some bugs regardless of what you read elsewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
That's a very good point, and let's just clarify right now, I'm not a cyanogenmod developer and I don't have any control over how stable these builds come out. So if you flash and all is well except your MMS isn't working, I can't do anything for you and you're in the same boat as the rest of us. Thanks for bringing that up, jaj.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
since I have TWRP, how can I change it to CWM? I want to be able to flash this using CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
If you download the EZ Recovery app from the play store and flash CWM as mentioned in the guide, it will just overwrite the preexisting TWRP image and you can continue on from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
I'm not understanding why the version or type of recovery matters. What does 6.0.1.0 do that twrp doesn't do except for supporting kexec?

Maybe I misunderstood what recoveries are all about. I had 6.0.1.0 for kexec support. Now that the bootloader is unlocked I'm thinking of going back to twrp.

Flashing the cm10 build should write to system and place a boot.img with the kernel on the phone. I don't see how a recovery would make a difference in doing this.

Forgive me if I missed something. I'm not questioning your intelligence or anything, just a curiosity as I only switched to cwm to use lean kernel with kexec.

Perhaps I missed even more, I see there is an alpha build of cwm that explicitly states it's for unlocked phones. Color me confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Sorry to ask such a stupid question. I am going to try flashing cm10 in a couple of days. Is there a reason the ROM package is so small? I am used to downloading synergies ROMs which are close to 700mb and I see every build of cm10 is only 150ish mb.

I guess what I'm asking is why is there such a size difference between the two and does cm10 come with everything ready other than g apps?

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FormeriPhoney:
Yes, usually pure aosp roms are much smaller in size. Most of my gnec builds were 160-188mb, where are touchwiz Roms are about 500-600mb

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmaeishi:
Me too. No play.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

After reading over and over, I have got the nightly working on here now.

I followed all of the OP instructions (1-4) exactly. What I cannot understand is why, after I completed step 4 and had the unofficial running, and went to nand ASAP, upon vol↑ + home + pwr I did not go into what I would call recovery but rather some strange screen that asked me if I wanted to "update" or "continue".

What was that screen, why was it there, and did others get it? Do we have a picture of it anywhere? When I pressed "update", I think it was the wrong answer...but if others had this screen too, what did they answer, and was it the "right" answer?

I got my phone # back and service and some slow 3g with nightly. The ver. in OP seemed to have 4g, but as I could not back it up, and then ran into other problems due to being Noob and unfamiliar with CWM, I cannot be sure. Others here report they have it...did those people press "continue" instead of "update"?

Also, I DID nand after root/install recovery, so it appears that the message came up only after bootload unlock or installing CM.

The "update" button led to a message that I was now downloading an updated SCH-I535 .

How about you? Did anyone else get this step at the end? What did you choose, and why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
That's called download mode, and it's totally normal. I'm betting you held home and vol down instead of vol up when you were trying to boot into recovery. It's usually used to flash Odin packages but you can do it from the phone anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmaeishi:
Download by pwr ↑ and CWM menu options

I think that answers my question. Thank you. But, any more on what about I was downloading? I have a file called "sdcard/update/zip",was that it and was it safe? Was it the Odin itself? The download screen, as I recall, had background/fonts that looked like I was in CWM. It took time and uncertainty, then I pulled battery. Rebooted still back into CM, but had lost service.

I am sure that what you say must be what I did. I've had problems with my power button so entirely possible. I have not yet mastered getting to recovery successfully everytime...not sure how long to hold keys. It works about every other time and my pwr button does not always trigger, even just for starting up. I think youI only have to press for a few secs, tho, no need to hold.

Also, I come from evo, where CWM (touch?) didn't work well for me (well, really ROM mgr changed my phone and lost my backups), so that is another noob for this noob. Each wipe option in my recovery (amon) was explicitly listed. In this CWM 6.0.1.0, there is no "wipe system" option, so I assume OP meant "format" (as a warning, before a subsequent restore I also formatted SD card and went into shock!). Also, in said menu (under mnt/storage), data, cache, also exist...is formattting essentially covering the "wipe"part again, or is just from the main menu sufficient? Finally, I see dalvik wipe in menu>advanced.

Thank you again for all of your work and for making it accessible to all of the thousands noobs out there who cannot stand sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KaneD20:
Ok... I'm dumb. The issue I was having with this was that I was formatting the 'system' and I didn't re-install the g-apps! lol... wow I'm dumb. Re-flashed gapps, along w/ the newest official build and everything is working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
Now that I think about it, you could have actually booted into stock recovery. Download mode doesn't have any options that say update.zip, so maybe something went wrong when you went to flash CWM.

As for booting into CWM in the future, if you're sure you've flashed it correctly: here's what I do. If you're already rooted and on CM, you can just hold the power button and go to reboot>recovery. But to do a cold boot into recovery, first hold down the volume up and home buttons, and while keeping them held press and hold the power button. Don't let any of them go until you see "recovery booting" in blue text in the upper corner. Hopefully that helps.

"Wipe" and "format" both mean exactly the same thing. It's just a little more common when you're reading guides to see the words "wipe" rather than "format."
