You're actually in Samsung recovery, not CWM or TWRP recovery. Volume down gives you that, volume up (if you actually have custom recovery) gives you custom recovery. I suggest you get the appropriate file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426&highlight=root66+att+one+click and use Odin to flash rooted stock ROM with recovery. Then boot into custom recovery and clear cache/dalvik. That should fix things. Let us know.

Vol Down is download mode... It's possible he doesn't a recovery at all, but like you said, the stock rooted ROM will get him going...

factory reset?

I recently purchased a note 2 and my mother is wanting my gs3. I'm running a custom ROM and kernel. My question is if factory reset the phone through cwm recovery would that leave everything intact so she can start with a clean slate.I know with a factory phone that is all you have to do and was just wondering if the same holds true on a custom ROM/kernel.

Here's the situation. I just flashed Xylon from AOKP with the standard procedures which included restoring app backups with titanium backup (it works just fine so far) except for one problem: the Android Market is dead and gives an error along the lines of "error retrieving information from server".

I had this error before when updating AOKP from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 and a simple fix permissions fixed it. Tried that to no avail, as well as clearing the cache and resetting data. Any help would be appreciated.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
What is Xylon ROM, is that for Nexus 4? Are your signal bars blue indicating a connection to Google? You've already tried clearing the Google Services Framework's data and Play Store data, wiping the caches and fixing permissions, and it's happened twice already, so I'm still a little inclined to think is has something to do with the TiBu backup, it could be restoring app data, and not the actual app... could you make a backup and reflash and try it without restoring the backup? Or try wiping the frameworks data, play store data, wiping caches, and fix permissions again, it's up to you...

Did you install the S3 drivers?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
If you follow instructions in link I gave you, have installed Samsung USB drivers (I think it's option 1 in S3 toolkit) and put phone into download mode (which is basically Samsung's native recovery), in Odin you should see a yellow box that says port. That means phone is connected and you can select rooted stock ROM (which you have extracted from 7z file by double-clicking on it) in Odin and flash it.

A factory reset in cwm will indeed reset the phone so that she can setup her google account, etc. The phone will still be running the rom and kernel you installed, though, as a reset doesn't wipe the rom. If she's fine with that then you're all set to go. After the factory reset, I would also wipe cache and go into advanced settings and wipe dalvik cache

Fixing permissions: shown in TWRP and CWM

So, it fixes permissions back to what they're supposed to be. But, for which files? And how does it know what the "right" permission is?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
It's rarely used in my experience. The only time I use it is for the kernel I run, and that's because his instructions include fixing permissions, and then only for flashing over another kernel (including those in flashed ROMs), not for updating his. I have no idea what the permissions are, but they might be related to writing drivers, such as wi-fi and bluetooth, over existing ones -- which this kernel does.

Issues building CM 10.1

I want to try CM 10.1 on my phone but don't want to brick it. My build completes successfully and boots and looks like everything works, except the phone part. I am showing an IEMI of 0 and baseband UNKNOWN. I restored my stock nandroid and all is well, IMEI back and baseband restored. My assumption is that my CM build overwrote my modem with nothing? Or I need to flash a modem? Or I need to figure out how to make CM include the modem in my build?

So that is three stupid questions but I figure you guys will point me in the right direction!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Baseband is separate from ROM and ROM doesn't include modem (radio). Did you root stock ROM? Did you use correct version of CM 10.1 for your version of S3? What do you mean "your build"? If you have rooted correctly, boot into recovery, reset phone, flash correct CM and Gapps, and wipe cache/dalvik, you should have no issues with modem or IEMI.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rwaterspf1:
I am running stock, rooted rom for sIII on AT&T. I sync'd source for CM10.1 and then breakfast d2att. I got the prop blobs from themuppets' repo and brunched. I then put my zip on my phone and gapps from goo. reboot recovery, factory reset, flash, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. CM boots fine and runs great but no modem. The "official" nightlies do work so I thought maybe modem was included.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
If you're not flashing downloads from CM or whomever, I can't help you. I have two rooted AT&T S3s that have been flashed with a variety of ROMS without problem. It's clearly something you are doing. ROMs are in one partition, baseband in another. The problems you're having are a result of whatever it is you're doing or not doing. Modems are not included in ROMs. The official ROMs work because, unlike yours, they are correctly compiled. If you look around xda, you won't see modem problems in ROM forums.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
I think it depends on whether they are installed or simply copied into folder. If they are installed, permissions are set appropriately, if they are copied, one has to go in and fix the permissions. Although...I'm not actually convinced that fixing permissions is always absolutely necessary. I do it because everyone else says to...good enough for me. :)

Hey all,

Looking to upgrade my romantic to the curry tasks. That being said it has been a pain to install all my apps after... I tried titanium but didn't have folder location pointed to external but it is now. So when doing the backup. What option do I select? Also when booting phone for first time as soon as I sign in to Google account all apps start downloading.....

Just wondering the fastest and best steps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eddied042092:
If you're trying to back up the apps i would go with back up all user apps. It'll show you a list of the user apps and let you uncheck or check the ones you want to back up. If you're switching roms or phone i would never back up system apps. They've just create alot of problems for me so personally i dont do it unless im just staying with the same rom and reflashing for a specific reason.

Also just incase when you restore make sure that there arent any system apps in the restore list, again because of the issues it might cause. The thing i do when backing up and restoring apps is...

-I backup my user apps and like you said when you sign into google itll automatically restore all the apps you downloaded, but it only reloads the ones from the play store, and without any prior data.

-after thats done i scroll down and restore missing apps with data and it restores the rest of my apps.

-then i restore all my user apps but i select data only sense the apps are already in my phone.

-Incase google didnt download them for you on its own just go ahead and stick with the restore app+data.

-by this time titanium will advice you to reboot, when your phone turns back on after the reboot it should have all your old data on it.

Im sure other people have different ways but thats just the way i do it.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to pm me incase you get lost in the process.

So I am interested in learning how to simply get a logcat to help out devs working with things I am running.

I have used catlog before, but it didn't really make too much sense. I also looked at all of the logcat threads and they seemed WAY too complicated for what I needed.

I'm wondering the simple steps I need to do to just get a logcat when I have an issue. From what I understand, is that I have to have catlog running all of the time and then if a crash or error happens, I can get the file afterwards? Does the app use battery? I guess it just doesn't make sense how I would know to run the app if there is a crash in the near future (it works fine for repeatable crashes, but not for random).

I hope this makes some sense. Thanks guys!

Hi. New user here. I've been stalking this place for the past few weeks, doing lots of reading, flashing ROMS, etc. Well today I tried to flash my first TouchWiz based ROM. Well it never loaded correctly, and I decided I didn't want to deal with it. So booted back into recovery, using CMW 6.0.2.8, and went to go restore my Nandroid. Well its not working. Never advances past Resoring Data. I've even gone into advanced recovery and restored everything else BUT data. When I try that, again it just never advances. It'll sit there for 30+ minutes. Normally takes me 5 to get back completely. Don't really know what to do. Searched the forums, google, and this thread, and no luck. Hopefully this is just a stupid question with easy answer and I was just searching for the wrong thing.

I've also tried to do complete wipes, wipe Cache and Dalvik, and when I go to a system wipe is freezes too. Tried flashing back into the ROM...ya wont go past boot screen. Not gonna lie, kinda worried.

Flash your recovery back to 6.0.2.3 either via odin or download a flashable zip and through recovery. Then try restoring. These last couple cwm updates have been finicky. Worth a try

Ill give that a try when I get home. Only 1 problem. I was reading on another forum someone said to do a factory reset just don't load up the data. So I loaded everything else, except data, and went in to do a factory reset. Now when I try to reload into CMW, i can't get it. In fact I am stuck on the factory reset screen. With the android and blue thingy in a constant loop. Not sure what to do. I am in over my head now.

I'm gonna delete the old backup and make a new one, just have to flash into the old CMW. TO do that I just load it as a zip onto my SD card, and run it in CMW correct? I know I still have root since I was jsut able to access TiBu.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Did you continue on to the 3rd step of that link and install a custom recovery (cwm)? If you did not, then that is how you'll install it (there are several options of going about it on the link) and make your backup.

If you DID install cwm, then boot into it to make the backup. If it's in there, look to see what version you have first
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crbauhs:
Sorry wasn't very clear before. I still have CMW installed. It is still version 6.0.2.8. Was just able to regain access to my phone. I still have root access. I am reloading all apps and data now via TiBu. Gonna go in when I get home from work and reinstall an older version of CMW, so I can hopefully avoid this issue again in the future.

I already went thru my carrier, they won't give me a code. Jerks. I was recently in South Africa for a month and to roam it would have cost me $100CDN for every 10MB so I said screw that and called to find out about unlocking my phone.

They wouldn't.

SD card/0

I'm kind of new to rooting/flashing/etc and I was wondering(I found it questionable enough of a question to ask here), if when you data/factory reset, is it supposed to delete all prior data on the phone? Including previous pictures and videos? That is what I have been told. If this is true, then I apparently did not factory reset because I have previous all my pictures and videos that were on the phone (stock) before I flashed it in a folder called sdcard0/0/0. Its a Galaxy S III on AT&T (i747). I recently flashed tasks AOKP on the device and at first I had many problems on it so I clean flashed it again. Seemed to work a lot better. Yet, I am still encountering issues with it here and there. I understand that this is probably supposed to be on the Q&A for that specific ROM but I find it to be a dumb question worthy of being posted here. I remember seeing somewhere (for the life of me I can't remember where) on my phone in an app or setting that said " X% dirty". Is this referring to files being leftover on my phone that could cause problems in flashing a new ROM? Or did I imagine this?

Thanks in advance. I'm a noob, but I did search google and this website first. It seems as though this is a bit of a specific quesiton. :confused:
