custom recovery

Thank you for the help and so quick response.

I have search already on different forums about recovery but I read things like ADB, custom rom, flashing and so on....So I am afraid about doing something wrong which can break my phone. Till yesterday I haven't root my phone because of scare to do something wrong.

Then accident happened. My memory cheap break (without reason, nobody knows why). Samsung service change memory cheap (on warranty), but I have loose all my data. When I say data I mean my application with a few years data filled in (like t2expense, aCar....).So I have made search all over the net about rooting and making FULL (image) backup. Then I found the easiest way to root my phone with CF-Auto-root and that make me happy because was really quick and simple. I buy also Titanium backup and make full backup (all app, user+data). But then I read on different forum that Titanium backup isn't image backup and if I want to make complete image like backup I need nandroid backup.

So please don't be angry if I say that I don't understand what mean "install custom recovery" I want something like CF-Auto-root; simple !! Is there a simple way to do this "install custom recovery". I want to do this quick and simple without hassle. I don't have experience, and I not shame to say I am an idiot for the Android. Before my Galaxy S3 I have iPhone so, it is normal that I am afraid. I read so many about custom rom and all other thing that my head is full of android stuff. To much at the moment. I only want if there is possibility to make image of my phone (like True Image in windows)so if phone break I don't need to install all application again. I have try to search like you mentioned for the "install custom recovery" but I again find so many confusing info like for example bellow; So I am to afraid to do this without afraid that I will loose my data. If you can help me with some better way I will appreciate and I say thank you in advance.

One more time Thank you very much,

Slavko

Hi, I have an Samsung Galaxy S3 updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and rooted with cf-root 6.4 and I would like I have readed that chainfire think that is "better" cf-auto-root so now I would like way mobile odin pro change cf-root to cf-auto-root if this is possible.

Can you help me? I don´t have post for post in the chainfire post and I don´t know if with mobile odin I can put cf-auto-root and how I can do.

Regards
[Galaxy S III General] astrall:
Back up your data using Titanium Backup or any other backup tools.

Then flash stock JB firmware, root it using cf-auto root.

Restore data.
[Galaxy S III General] jjaviercs:
Ok, but one question, why don´t work flash cf-auto-root directly?

You need to ask Chainfire he developed it .

Lolz just leave the **** alone. You are already on firmware you want to be and you're rooted....? Leave it alone. No point going through all that work for nothing.

**** delete custom, that is reflash custom recovery with regular one and you got yourself auto root lol. Then when you get to the point that you'll need custom recovery, do it all over again.

Highly suggest you go read again what auto root is and does without blindly thinking it's better and automatically thinking you gotta redo it. You don't!

What's the problems with 6.4 usage on jellybean?

At moment I am having major problems I first thought as nothing, but basically I am seeing increased battery drainage since I updated. I also am having some "wifi suffocation" - Wifi media would just cut and you need to disable and enable wifi to get it working again. I updated a rooted phone via kies and rooted it with 6.4 so I am trying to know if these problems are just my old settings being incompatible, CF root 6.4 and/or BusyBox or just a general NEE Jellybean error...
[Galaxy S III General] jjaviercs:
Thanks to all for your answers. For now I don´t will change until new firmware

regards
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
No problem whatsoever with cf root. Chainfire simply decided not to make and use custom recovery anymore. So he took it out. Which is his right anyways.

Your counter will still increase with auto root as with original for initial flashing via Odin. After which you can perpetually flash with 'mobile odin', preserving root. Which is probably what he wants and it makes sense for those of us that own it.

Those that want custom recovery for flashing zips will have to flash it separately. Which unless flashing with mobile odin will make the counter show 2 (auto root + recovery) instead of one with original cf root.

For those that care about warranty and Chainfire already hinted he might stop playing cat and mouse with samsung and samsung changes something so that current triangle away stops working...

[Galaxy S III General] Sumea:
Sounds good really - and seems like it at least is not CF root that is causing my problems, something is what is making me go through complete wipe and firmware reinstall probably from sammobile source. I hope I get it fixed and it is not something in the firmware itself because the Jellybean IS nice.

i flash directly the cf-auto root from my custom JB by using mobile odin and revert back to cwm due to the fonts too small.

once in download mode flash i9000M with root from My Android Collections

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu>Settings>Applications>Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC

Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

[HTC Desire S] Solidcancer07:
Hi Folks! I am completely new to XDA as well as all the android stuff, I used to be on Nokia before :) Forgive me if I have posted in the wrong section...

Basically I managed to upgrade my HTC Desire S to ICS 4.0.4 using the RUU on HTCDev.com. Having used it for about a month now, I want to go back to Gingerbread 2.3.5 Sense 2.1 as it is much easier on the battery as well as being much smoother to run. My problem is that from the shippedromes.com site, there are several gingerbread ruu's available, so out of this list (these are all europe), which one do i choose for Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 2.1?:

1. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe

2. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe

3. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe

4. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed.exe

5. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe

To me they all look the same but obviously there is some difference as they have different numbers in their file names.

Thanks in advance! :D
[HTC Desire S] totalnoob34:
The trouble is you can't just flash a ruu version lower than the one running on your device (downgrade), because by default you can just upgrade.

See this thread for the procedure to downgrading.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318919

Be careful as you will probably lose your warranty doing this!
[HTC Desire S] Solidcancer07:
Thnx for your quick reply,

My phone is already over 1 year, so warrenty is is gone anayway I think! :)

I understand the procedure to downgrade my phone, such as changing the HBOOT, unlock bootloader, S-off, revolutionary, clockwork recovery etc. But when it comes to actually installing/flashing the Gingerbread RUU, which RUU should I used? I wan to downgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (the one that shipped with the phone originally) with Sense 2.1. I'm in the U.K, and my phone is unbranded. It is also currently running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 with Sense 3.6. If you could inform me which RUU I should use from the list in my first post I will be very grateful. :)

Thnx again ;)
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
The ruus with 2.10 at the beginning are definitely sense 3.0, I don't know which sense version 1.47 and 1.28 ruus are, but 1.28 will be the oldest.
[HTC Desire S] Solidcancer07:
Thanks alot! I think I will flash 1.28 first and see what it is. If not, I will probably flash 1.47 instead, which should be possible without anymore tinkering as it's a higher RUU.

And I definitely don't want Sense 3.0, I would rather stay on ICS then! :)

Thanks again for the quick answers! ;)
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
There was never Sense 2.1 for this phone to begin with. Sense 3.0 is the earliest you can get.

This makes your question, well, void.

Any Gingerbread RUU will be fine.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
1.28 is Sense 2.1.

1.47 is the same but with some fixes. I suggest to go with this.

The rest higher versions are with Sense 3, except the ICS RUU of course

I noticed that the price of the note 2 in Germany is cheaper, than in the UK.

Just wondering if there is any downside about buying one from Germany?

I assume I'll be able to get the phone configured into English.

Would I be able to flash UK firmware on to it, or wouldn't it matter?

I'd only get the n7100 as I don't care about lte just yet.

thanks.

Yes of course the european version of the phone is the same, you will just have to chose English when you first turn on the phone.

I've been using my rooted nook simple touch glow for a week and have been pretty happy with it, but need to install either pocket or instapaper which are only on google play. I tried readability but it crashes on startup.

Anyone know if it's possible to install google play on the NTG running 1.1.5?

Is there any other manual way to install a google play app? I know how to install via adb, but no idea where to download the apk for an app I purchase.

Thanks for this. I thought of uninstall and reinstalling google apps and unfortunately deleted youtube altogether both the apk and reinstalled software. So I did a soft un-root again and it seems now it worked (after I had done step 4 & 5 as per your message).

Now I have market app that works, search function does not work. I will probably installed vending apk or did step 4 and 5 againg ( I think I spent more time fixing Nook touch than actually using it).

Btw, anyone knows how to make the side options on the right to appear (where one can choose home or adw launcher). For some reason it has disappearred. How do I get back from nook home reading screen to adw launcher now?? :confused:
[Nook Touch General] dotancohen:
I doubt that you'll get the marketplace search working, it is a known issue. Use the alternative search application mentioned in the article.

That is the magic buttons application it needs to be running to get the buttons. Note that when the application is running but the menu is collapsed, that it is _very_ difficult at first to find and open it. Look closely at the middle of the right edge of the screen. There should be a very faint icon there. If so, then try to press the side of the _plastic_case_ where it meets the screen by jamming your fnger right between them, as if you are trying to pry the plastic case off. That is how I hit that button!
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
Once you have found button savior and are back in the ADW launcher, be sure to give @jeff_kz's NookTouchMods a try. You will be able to remap one of your quicknav buttons or the 'n' long press to take you back to ADW launcher - much better than button savior!
[Nook Touch General] dotancohen:
Kayaker, I've looked at these mods before, but I see no canonical information explaining exactly how to modify and install the mods. Is there some thread explaining this that I've been unable to find?

6)After the phone restarts Mag Loader, press the Volume Down button until you get to #5 (USB Flasher) and press the Call button (Green button) and it will be in USB Flasher Mode. It will say Wait for USB…USB.

7)In the HD2 toolkit, select MagLdr repartition and choose the 150MB File size. Leave the Cache size the same (45). Then press Repartition.

8)After it is done, the phone will restart into Magldr. Go to AD Recovery. Go to “Install Zip From SD Card. Then “Choose Zip from SD Card”. Select the ROM and Press Yes. After it is done, press the back button and then press Reboot System.
