Strange...I think if you can't get to CWM you should use the SmartFlash tool. I Allways use that when i can't access the Recovery for some reason.

Check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448803

I use this method of the link, but i allways use this .bin that already comes with CWM: http://www.4shared.com/rar/Sao5spVC/V20S_CWM.html?

And them, put the superuser.zip in your SD: http://www.4shared.com/zip/0FHV0tRP/Superuser.html?

After SmartFlash tool finishes the install, the phone will reboot in CWM. After that, just do a full Wipe, and flash superuser.zip.

Restart. Done. V20S installed with CWM and superuser ok.

Hope i've helped you. :fingers-crossed:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Klisman:
Hi all,

My Magic has the trackball broken, and because of this, when I try to boot the Magic, the notification Led turns blue and the phone does not boot.

Somethimes, if I stir the trackball the phone boots, but in the left bottom corner appears a message saying "safe-mode".

As my Magic has a custom rom, and I think because of the safe-mode I can not see the phone via usb cable. Plugging in the usb cable only charges the phone, nothing else happens.

Until now, I also was not able to enter into bootloader (I do not know if is a safe-mode limitation or not.)

Do you know about that safe-mode? or how can I restore the original firmware?

because I want to send my phone to warranty with the original rom.

Thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] george.wgx:
some photos ?

can you make some pictures of your screen or a small video to see what is happening? Or try to use the right RUU from development page.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikatana:
I have a Verizon Dinc2 given to me by a friend....I'm not a complete noob but not very familiar with this particular device...I know how to use adb and have rooted and modified several other models from the HTC lineup before

Here's the problem, the phone was apparently unlocked with HTCdev method, had clockworkmod recovery installed (v5.0.2.0) but then left with S-ON, no sd card and no ROM installed.

Every method I have found of rooting properly, or getting a new hboot on there, or downgrading or ANYTHING basically requires that you start with the phone booted, which I can't do because there is no ROM installed.

I have tried putting a ROM on an sd card and flashing from recovery, no dice.

I have tried flashing several different RUU (PD32img or whatever) from the bootloader, and I always get a 'bad image' or 'wrong image' message then nothing.

I have tried to perform a couple of downgrade methods thinking the RUU's included might install and help me out, and can't complete through adb because the phone isn't in the proper mode. or it will start a flash and give me an error of some kind.

I know if I could install a ROM, I could enable debugging, use charge only mode, even flash a different recovery, etc... but with no ROM, and no way to boot, I am at a loss.

Anyone know where I can go with this? the phone is pretty nice, and I would love to get it running, even just stock...Maybe somebody has a nand backup I could try running from CWM, or something along those lines?

The info I get from the bootloader is as follows:

***UNLOCKED***

RADIO-1.09.01.0312
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
If you have an sd card, put a ROM on it and flash it. If you still have clockwork installed, you can do it. Then you have to take the boot.IMG from the ROM and flash via adb

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikatana:
thanks for the input, actually I tried that many times, it just wasn't completing a flash...

Figured it out though, needed a newer, better recovery....that plus some creative cursing and a threat or two!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Flash via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, put the ROM on your sdcard, flash the ROM in recovery, boot into fastboot and use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then you can boot it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dougmeister:
Rooted my (Sprint) S3 a month or so ago. The instructions I followed had me put v5.0.2.0 on it. There is a much newer version, correct?

I'd like to be able to do OTA updates and understand that that is possible with a newer version of CWM, but to get *that* version (v6.0.x.x?), I have to copy the file over via cable, correct?

Thanks.

(I still have the stock ROM)

What is the difference between "Download Recovery" and "Download Touch Recovery"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Recovery is just normal CWM. Touch has the touch recovery ui in it. I just use the regular version but people swear by Touch and TWRP type recoveries.

.img file question

nm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dougmeister:
Ok. Couldn't figure this out. Downloaded both versions of the ROMs from here:

http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

I put them in the root of the internal SD card. But they are .IMG files and when I booted into the CWM menu, I couldn't select them. Another web site said to name it "<something>.zip", so I tried. I renamed it on my PC, but I couldn't copy it over to the phone; kept giving me an error.

So I got tired and just paid the money for the registered version of ROM Manager. I clicked "Apply CWM Recovery" or something like that, now when I reboot, it's stuck at "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"

I'm Googling this, but would appreciate any help you folks can offer. Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dougmeister:
Ok. I pulled out the battery before I saw your post. Looks like it's not bricked, at least.

1) How do I tell if I have the most current version? When I fire up ROM Manager, it says v5.0.2.1. Underneath it says both "Current" and "Latest" Recovery are both v6.0.1.2. I think that means I have the latest and greatest of both.

2) If I paid $1.99 for the "paid" version, why do I still see ads?

3) I started this whole debacle because Sprint kept bugging me about a system update and it didn't work OTA. I don't know how to use "Kies Air" and I thought this would help me. Is this right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
I never was a fan of the touch myself. I rather hit up and down arrow keys lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dougmeister:
Ok. I have the latest CWM now. Thanks.

How do apply the update from Sprint now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
You cannot apply an OTA when a custom recovery is installed.

Truth is, you don't really need to update via OTA. You can update your software by flashing a ROM based on the version you want (LG8, LI3, etc.), or you can choose to only update your baseband/modem (baseband doesn't have to match your build), or you can choose to load the kernel of your choice.

Go into the Android Development forum and do some research on the TouchWiz ROMs available there.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
The speed and stability depends on the Rom and Kernel combination. Free Ram also plays an important role to keep the apps running smooth.

Im not an expert but from my experience of countless flashing of Roms/Kernels, here are recommended:

1. C-Rom Bean v1.4 (w/ Mackay kernel)

2. Mackay Rom v1.2.4 or 1.2.5

These are tested very fast and smooth, no FC of apps, no lags even for using memory-intensive apps like GPS SatNav and videocam.

The above are only suggestions w/c you can choose to try or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Greamlive:
Hi,

I would like to know if voodoo rootkeeper is able to restore the root after the JB update ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Worked for me :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bender303:
Does anyone know if the built in "OTA Root keeper" in SuperSU works too?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scumbag Inc.:
Unfortunately rootkeeper did not work for me. TPSparkyRoot and Debugfs were unsuccessful. Does anyone know of a root method for JB? The method used for TF300 perhaps?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Worked fine for me. FYI if you are using EZOverclock.apk freeze or remove it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
Currently (to the best of my knowledge), the only way they could have root on the TF300 with JB was to restore root using both SuperSU and OTA Rootkeeper. There haven't been any new exploits as far as I know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pennhaven:
Rootkeeper did not work for me. The only apps I was using that required root were Titanium Backup and Samba Fileshare, plus obviously Super User and Busy Box. Anyway I can't use them now, with no root after updating to 4.1.1 despite Rootkeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Darkseider:
Something to take note of. Prior to the update I deleted my su backup and did it over again. Don't know if that made a difference or not but that was the only thing I did prior to the JB update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pennhaven:
I checked and I have no /system/su_backup file, despite OTA RootKeeper telling me it was there before I installed the JB OTA. I wonder if my doing a cold boot before installing the OTA somehow erased the su_backup? I wish I had copied it somewhere else.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamesh1979:
So I Do Have Su Backup File in sys but it doesnt work any thoughts? root keeper says it works but doesnt acually work
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] x-web:
Updateing now.

I just erased and recreated my su backup with Voodo's OTA Rootkeeper.

back in a minute.

EDIT:

no dice.

restores the su binary at /system/bin/su

but it does not work.

-------------

Update got root access though adb using the backup su binary at /system/usr/we-need-root/su-backup

i just used the full path at the commad line...

copied the binary to /system/bin/su

more later.

Update:

got root working using

Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 20.09.2012]

I use linux so i just followed the steps in the batch file ( following the GOTO jumps for normal install) .

Problems:

this is the script i followed. it is in the zip at the link.

These are the command i used from the file. on linux i just replaced the stuff\adb.exe part with adb at the command line.

The files would not push to /data/local/tmp directly so i pushed the files to /sdcard/tmp then used adb shell and su'ed to cp (mv gave errors) them to /data/local/tmp

:START
echo Pushing busybox....
stuff\adb.exe push stuff/busybox /data/local/tmp/.
echo Pushing su binary ....
stuff\adb.exe push stuff/su /data/local/tmp/.
echo Pushing Superuser app
stuff\adb.exe push stuff/Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/.
echo Making busybox runable ...
stuff\adb.exe shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox

When i launched the backup app from adb it did not appear to ever stop. so i closed it after about 5 minutes and rebooted then continued.

stuff\adb.exe restore stuff/fakebackup.ab
echo Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
echo If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.
echo Running ...
stuff\adb.exe shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" > NUL
echo Successful, going to reboot your device!
stuff\adb.exe reboot
echo Waiting for device to show up again....
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > NUL
stuff\adb.exe wait-for-device

The busybox binary did not work so i just used regular commands at adb shell prompt. Some of the commands required me to su first.

echo Going to copy files to it's place
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk && /data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox && chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su && chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su && chmod 655 /system/app/Superuser.apk && chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox && rm /data/local.prop && reboot"

:FINISH
echo You can close all open command-prompts now!
echo After reboot all is done! Have fun!
echo Bin4ry
pause

I may have left out some steps but if you follow the script and use su at the adb shell prompt you can get most of the steps to work. If there is enough demand i may put together a shell/bat script.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
I had no issues. restored root perfectly
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
I lost root. Before i updated I deleted my backed up root in root keeper then protected again. Then updated to jb with file. Lost root but voodoo says I have a protected copy. But pressing restore does not bring it back. Hope there's a way to bring it back.

Edit: I did not temp unroot b4 update. Maybe my problem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbelcomp:
If i remember correctly from one of the previous updates, updating using a file is what caused voodoo to not be able to restore the root.

I had to wait until they found a new exploit to get it back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scumbag Inc.:
I appreciate you pointing this out but here's the problem I'm running into. "mount: permission denied"

I can't su because I don't have root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iamhcg:
Here's what I do.

1. After knowing Superuser could very possibly be failed to restore root, I downloaded SuperSu in Google Play and installed it. Updated new binary of SuperSU.

2. Deleted the old backup in OTA Rootkeeper and protect the new root.

3. Went through OTA.

4. restored root from OTA Rootkeeper. Voila.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Something strange is going on here, i restored root with OTA root keeper, everything worked well and when i check status it states that my device is rooted and root permission granted.

Titanium Backup works perfectly as well, but other apps like Gesture Control are unable to get root access and when i run a root checker app it says that I dont have proper root access. Is there a way to fix this? Or is my root lost? I still have some hope as it works fine with TB

Stuff i'm still able to do:

-Temp unroot/reroot with OTA root keeper

-delete SU backup and make a new one

-Use Titanium Backup

-Use any root explorer i've tested so far, i can also access /data folder!

-Use Terminal emulator

-Also the file system/bin/SU is present.

What i cant do:

-app: gesture control

-update my SU binary with superuser app

-update my busybox using BusyBox free from play store

there must be a way! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kasper31:
Damn pissing on my sunny day. I want to see JB but am afraid of what problems it will cause. Thanks to all that posted saying OTA worked I hope it works for me too.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mystril:
ICS

Fsdebug (for root access) --> OTA rootkeeper (for backup of root)

Prime updated to JB; I felt performance is sluggish so I factory reset it

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Brickwood:
Hello!

I have recieved the Android 4.0.4 OTA update but am unable to install it. I had unlocked my bootloader but havent installed any ROM, and tried to do the OTA update, the phone shut down and booted up to the fastboot menu.. i relocked my phone and tried again, same result.. I called HTC and they had no idea, they got me to turn off the fast boot in the power settings, but that didnt work!

What do I need to do to get the OTA update to work?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Based on your avatar, you are in Australia? Not sure what the firmware changes are for your region. But in the US, the latest 4.0.4 firmware also changes hboot, and plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery. In other words, not being able to install the OTA may be a good thing. It might be better to install one of the rooted stock ROMs in the Development forum.

Can't say for certain, since my US carrier (AT&T) does things so much differently than anyone else. So hopefully some folks in your region can chime in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Brickwood:
Hey thanks for the response.

Yeah I am in Australia, but I would like to get OTA Updates until Im comfortable with properly putting new ROMs onto my phone..

My service provider (Optus) took it's sweet time to release this update and their only solution is to take it into their shop to get it repaired/looked at..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If you are rooted, you may need to unroot.

You may also want to try finding the OTA file on the SD card and deleting it, and trying to download it again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Brickwood:
Yeah, Ive unrooted it.. I relocked the phone and ran the stock RUU for it.. but after a day I haven't received the OTA notification.. so I might have to wait a while for that to come back I guess..

I decided to revert my S3 to stock firmware after trying out different JB roms so after flashing XXALE8 (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 ) via mobile odin, wiping data and cache then factory resetting i got the message " messaging not working" After checking *#1234# I got AP:19300XXALE8 CP:19300XXLE8 CSC:Unknown (see screenshot) then after checking *#272*IMEI# this showed up (see screenshot 2) I've even tried it with 19300 XXBLG8 and have the same problem. Messaging work ok using Omega ICS and JB roms Cyanogen mod 9 and 10 super Nexus builds 2 and 3 and also various Samsung JB test firmware. I have even downloaded the separate csc tar files and flashed them with mobile odin. If anyone has an idea how to solve my problem i will be very greatful. Oh and the reason I have been using mobile odin is because i run Linux and odin doesn't work via wine.

You can also try flashing just the CSC. If you have just one file with the whole rom, just load it in Mobile Odin and clear everything except cache and hidden (that is the CSC).

I don't want to change the csc, I want it to work and therefore sms messaging to work. Everything else is fine with the phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Usual reason for that is wrong network details /APN or wrong message centre number .

CSC is not required for SMS to work .

Spec-wise the 7 plus seems to be better especially at a similar price as the Tab 2. My only consideration of going with the Tab 2 is that I'm a flash-aholic and dev support seems better.

Other things I should be considering?
