Right, well, I'm not sure what you've done to it, but this is the wrong sub forum.

If it is an AT&T phone, htcdev won't work.

Best bet is to visit the ONE XL forum. And post what you problems you have, and then what you tried to do before arriving where you are now.

Word of advice, your first post in this thread was awful. It's too long, too confusing and unreadable. Try to cut out as much as you can. I don't care how many yards, that you got instructions from a video, and that the video was hosted on YouTube. Just list what you did to the phone. Use spaces (including vertical spaces), punctuation and bullet points to good effect. End of the day, you want as wide an audience as possible.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ernolander:
So, I've rooted my SGS3 using the excellent toolkit, and installed CWM Touch recovery. However, when the newest OTA update appeared, I decided in my wisdom to install it, and reflashed the Stock recovery and then the update. All seemed fine, until I realised that my root was gone. In hindsight, I kind of knew this would happen, but a sleepless night must have clouded my judgement.

My question: is it possible to re-root the phone with the toolkit, or any other method? I think I remember seeing somewhere that this is not recommended, but wanted to see if anyone has any tips.

Thanks,

Erik N

Hello,

I'm just wondering how I can make the .tar file with the recovery.img file in it and flash with Odin? Does anyone have a guide to how to do this? I recently downloaded the latest recovery from Clockworkmod website, but don't know what to do from there. I know how to flash with Odin of course, but don't know how to make the .tar file with the recovery.img file in it. I tried to (NOOB) rename the recovery file I got from cwm website to "recovery.img" and put it as a .tar file using 7Zip, thinking it would work, but didn't work. :confused: So I'm guessing there's another way, I'm sure I can figure it out with a good guide. Thanks! :)

P.S: Only reason why I want to know how to do this is because there's no actual place to my knowledge where I can update my cwm recovery automatically, but if anyone knows an automatic way of updating cwm that would be a big plus. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
you could use rom manager. As long as your device is rooted, Rom Manager will download and flash your recovery for you.

or...

You can also put your recovery file on your sdcard so that the path would be /sdcard/recovery.img Then using either adb shell or terminal emulator, the command would be

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Papaniz:
Oh yeah I know about rom manager, I just want to know how to make the file so I can, in the future update my cwm recovery version. I use Rom Manager to flash the recovery and do what I want in the recovery, that's not an issue, just updating it to a later version if one comes out is why I want to know how to make the file. I tried to download the latest cwm from Rom Manager, but when it gives me the devices list to download, the Galaxy S3 is not there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
A day or two ago I opened rom manager and it prompted me that there was an update for my recovery downloaded it and flashed it no problem

You are in luck, I needed a ODIN flashable tar of CWM 6.1.0.8 yesterday, and I made a flashable tar.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30494477#post30494477

I run linux, and I"m not positive how to make your own ODIN flashable .tar from a .img file in Windows, but on Linux the commands are as follows.

Download the recovery from the CWM website.

Rename the file from <WhateverItsCalled>.img to recovery.img

Open a terminal window and get to the folder that recovery.img is in.

Type in the following command without the quotes: "tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar"

You will not have an ODIN flashable file called recovery.tar.

To flash it, open ODIN, make sure your phone is in download mode and ODIN sees it. Click on the PDA button, choose recovery.tar, hit start. The phone will reboot when its done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Papaniz:
Ah thanks! I downloaded that tar file and updated successfully! I will try that command guide out and see if it works. Thanks again! :fingers-crossed:

Hmm...that's really weird..I never got such a message. :confused:

EDIT: Tried the command guide, and it didn't work unfortunately, but it does show the recovery.tar file, won't let me open saying it is damaged. On the cmd it tells me: 'tar' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

The recovery.tar file is made though, but can't be opened. Any tips?

Not going past bootscreen

I have followed the instructions above for the CM9 lt26w hikari but the device is stuck at the Free Xperia logo at bootup. Really not sure if I´ve done anything wrong. The boot.img (kernel) is supposed to be found in the zip-file I suppose, anyway that´s what I used for the fastboot flash.

I have now made the procedure from start and it works this time! I really don´t know why it didn´t work the first time. But now I am real glad to finally have CM9 on my Xperia device. Thank you!

Once u unlock bootloader, most probably void. :(

EDIT: But you must relock bootloader, unroot and remove any recovery when u want service. Maybe it works.

Worth taking? :silly:

Hi,

Any ideas on how I get past this?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raginginferno:
Sounds like you forgot to flash the kernel first... did you pull out the boot.img from the zip file and flash the kernel though fastboot first? Then flash though CWM?

(At least that's how it's done on the Xperia Play. I haven't actually unlocked my bootloader on my Acro S. :P)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] limestar:
Nope I did that. It doesn't let me flash either the cm9.1 or 10 roms. I get the error attached in the picture. But no problems flashing Xperia s roms. How do I fix it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raginginferno:
Not really sure on this one...

It looks similar to one of the errors on my xperia play. Sometimes when I wipe it all clean it goes into a weird error comes up where it forgets what device it is. Like it no longer looks like an xperia play to CWM. I had either restore it or reflash the ftf file before it will start to recognize that it is in fact a xperia play. And then it continues to install cyanogenmod. And I only get that issue with cyanogenmod, none of the other custom roms.

You probably tried it already, but maybe reflash a ftf file (wipe everything), fastboot the kernel, and try the install from zip in CWM (don't even wipe anything yet). Hopefully it will figure out your device and start installing. Once it finishes, then I full wipe everything, and then install cyanogenmod again, just to clean out everything... anyways that's how I did it for the Xperia Play when it refuses to install.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] limestar:
Ok let me try that. Just installed another xperia s Rom fine. Very strange

<1minute

try format dalvik cache (from advanced in cwm) after full wipe/factory reset and all this after flash ROM.

when i last tried - i'm just flashing ROM without reflashing kernel after and kernel was from FXP(when it boot successful).

Install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard:

install ROM FXP136

install gapps

wipe data/factory reset

advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache

reboot system now

for sure - you may wipe also and before flash ROM.

wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and then install zip files. :)

Procedure - Still stuck in FreeXperia logo

Stock Kernel with CWM 5.x ( 6.1.A.2.45 )

Rooted, boot unlocked.

Tried:

Downloaded CM 9.1 stable Hikari

Downloaded GAPS gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Copied to internal SD Card

Goes into CWM

Choose zip from SD - Kikari.zip installs perfect

Choose zip gapps installs perfect.

Wipe clean format

Wipe Cache

Before it boots up i go into Fastbook ( blue led )

Extract the boot.img and run:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then i let it reboot and it gets stuck.

After i reboot the old 5.x doesn't exits so I start the CWM with volume up it works i get into CWM 6.x.

When i try to run above posted by KAA76

i get

assert failed getprop("ro.product.device" .....

hehe just learned to use the flashtool correctly. cant find the 6.1.A.2.45 ftf there was one Malysia version dunno if it works for Sweden.

going to try the above

Thanks for al the help btw getting the hang of this now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KAA76:
just don't do that

after flashing and start process with Stock Kernel with CWM 5.x ( 6.1.A.2.45 )

i.e.

1. fastboot flash boot kernel-cwm.elf

2. disconnect from usb

3. go into cwm5 and do main job

4. reboot from cwm,

5. wait until it booted up into FXP ROM.

This is how i did it and it worked.

With a rooted device, boot unlocked and CWM 5.x

1. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img taken from the Zip)

2. Enter Recovery ( because now its CWM 6.x with volume up )

2. Flash Rom

3. Flash gapps

4. Wipe everything, files cache and dalvik

5 Reboot from Recovery

Fantastic...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KAA76:
yes, this method working too :)

however, as i can see for now on FXP136(CM9.1) not working:

1. HDMI - completely.

2. fast foto(hardware button) from locked phone.

3. hardware foto-button only shoots, not focusing

4. no way to enable MTP-mode

problems:

1. i have strange problem with RocketDial Pro while trying to look contact HDfoto, i can set it without problem, but when try to open - phone freeze until reset with power+vol_up, also exist problem with rocketdial callerid, while viewing example screen and touch dynamic - freeze until reset.

2. not found any app to select what to launch when power connected(clock,some app, etc..)

3. terrible led light while charging... better use dark red or orange as in stock vs yellow-white-pink

4. while playing ME infiltrator, stops working sound via bluetooth headset(a2dp), starts again after restart game.

positive:

1. ME Infiltrator works smooth, on stock ROM play in this game just unreal, laggs,freezes and so on. Free memory on stock and also on fxp136 about 266MB.
