Okay I don't care about the counter, I just want my phone to work and I'll be happy.

But now I'm getting a little confused about the cwm recovery.

So just to be clear, you are saying I need to flash a recovery (cwm-touch-6.0.2.3-d2tmo in my case since I don't care about the counter), BUT do I flash the recovery before or after I flash with Root66 firmware? That part I am confused about. And do I flash one right after another or do I need to restart my phone or ODIN first?

Thank you so much for helping me out. I was freaking out this morning and I am very grateful for your help and knowledge. I hope I am not being too much of a pain or hassle with these questions. Sorry that I am quite new to this :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] buzzking00:
Woody, I went to the link you posted. What are the 4 files for?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Don't use those - they are older versions.

If you don't care about the counter, then flash the CWM in my signature using Odin (can provide TWRP tar link if that's your thing), then flash root66 using Odin. You can reboot in between... but no real reason to do so.

If you are still having issues after you flash these, drop into recovery (vol up + home) and reset factory defaults. If still having problems, only thing left to do is flash a full stock image, link also in my signature. The page you linked to does not contain the newest version because DocHolliday hasn't been around here much lately.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Top one is TWRP version 2.3.0.0

Second is 6.0.1.2 CWR touch version

Third is TWRP version 2.3.1.0

Fourth is Stock recovery.

Do not flash all of them. Are you a TWRP or CWR kind of person? Instead of re-typing it out, go here and I come in on post #20 on the 2nd page. Read that to the end and let us know if you understand it. Pretty easy to follow but I understand your Panic Mode, so take your time.

^^ This is what I see in his future.

Like I said above, I haven't seen too many people get out of that "Encountered..." error without some real technical expertise.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] buzzking00:
Awesome. Thanks Aerowinder!

I will try this when I get home (assuming I can go into download mode...) and post what happened
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] buzzking00:
I will take a look at the link Woody.

I am really hoping this will work on the first try!

Okay so from reading your post Woody I can use EITHER the TWRP and CWR, but I want to use the one that is easiest to use. Which one do you guys think is easier to use?

Also, SU3.3 or SU1.04 which one should I use? Aerowinder, your sig shows both now but earlier I didn't notice the SU1.04. I just realized I only need the SU file IF the prerooted file doesn't work but just in case it doesn't I guess it is better to know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Draw straws. I use CWM/Superuser. I use Superuser because CM comes with it. AOKP comes with SuperSU... both work fine. Just make sure you use the ones from my signature, as they are newer versions. You won't need su if you get a prerooted rom, only for stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] buzzking00:
I am going to try it in an hour.

Wish me luck!

1. Download mode

2. Flash CWM

3. Flash Root66

4. Hopefully no problems

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] buzzking00:
OMFG OMFG OMFG

OMFG OMFG OMFG

OOOOOOH MYYYYYY FOOOOOOOOKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

AEROWINDER AND WOODY

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

IT WORKED AND NOTHING GOT ERASED. I THOUGHT PUTTING THE NEW FIRMWARE WOULD'VE ERASED EVERYTHING WITH THE NEW ROM BUT NOPE.

Uninstalled KIES and USB drivers.

Installed USB drivers from Aerowinders sig

So the Odin 3.07 didn't work either so I ended up using ODIN 1.85

Turned off auto reboot and left f reset on (no idea what f reset does lol)

Flashed CWM

Flashed root66 rom

Restarted phone and it was back to normal with all the data saved, but no SU (wasn't unlocked)

So reflashed CWM

Then restarted in clockwork recovery and ran super user and now the phone is rooted

Thanks for your helpful knowledge and now I am going to learn everything about android so I too can help another new android user in the (hopefully near) future.

:good::good::good: 3 thumbs up to the knowledge members above Aerowinder and Woody!

THANK YOU!

Panic mode TRANSFORMMMMM! *Panic mode has now transformed into excitement mode*
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
So, ahh, are you excited? Haha. Great. Glad you got it up and running.

I hope that you do learn more about Android and share it with someone who needs help someday. When I first came, that is what someone did for me and I have tried to do it ever since. We are all still learning, including Aero and myself, so there will never be an end but rather more.

Good job and now you should make a Nandroid backup just in case you ever get in a bind again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] buzzking00:
Well now I gotta learn how to make back-ups and what a Nandroid backup is lol.

Time to search the forums :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
That's the attitude, with Android you have to be a sponge and try to learn as much as you can. A single Google search will give you the answers you seek and making a backup is pretty much universal no matter what Rom, phone you have. Good luck

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SharpHawk:
As the title says, starting a phone call causes my connection to drop from 4G to 3G. It is restored as soon as the call ends. I'm currently using the Liquidsmooth ROM, and since I can't remember whether stock did this as well I can't tell if it's an issue with the ROM or if that's just standard GS3 behavior.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
I'm not sure if it is or not but it's better on your battery anyway and data really doesn't matter during calls.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shashpant:
Need help guys.

I have rooted my phone with the steps mentioned here [ROOT] Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 - xda-developers . Let me put in a perspective of what I did.

1. Downloaded the stuff.

2. Factory reset the phone.

3. Flashed the phone with 6.1.1.B.1.10 and rooted the device using shell script.

Now the issue is .

1. Even though I have flashed the phone it still shows the version as 6.1.1.B.1.54 . Also I am getting update notifcation from Sony? Should I install the update /

2. Before factory reseting I did flashed once but the phone retained all the setting and data ? Is that normal ?

3. Even though I've rooted the device I still cna't remove factory loaded apps like Chrome and FB ?

Will I be needing CWM to install 3rd party ROM?

I am planning to give MIUI a shot. What else I need to do ?

Also what settings I can do once I have rooted the device. Please do list some handful tuts for getting started with overclocking and cpu profiling and other handful tweaks I can do.

P.s - This is my first attempt ::P

Edit - I guess the update is showing cause the ftf was not the Indian vers ?

Check the log while flashing -- http://pastebin.com/PLTcW87f
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jonathan_M:
Is your phone unlocked?

1. You can get this notification if you are using an older kernel on newer firmware. (.10 kernel on .54)

You can resolve this by installing the appropriate kernel.

If this is not the case I wouldn't know... You can just ignore it I guess.

2. Yes, flashing generally doesn't remove those things.

3. You need an app to remove system apps, you can use a file manager with root permissions or a dedicated app like root uninstaller.

And yes CWM is needed to flash 3rd party roms.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ioang:
just a little sugestion supersu is not good like superuser
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shashpant:
I tried flashing MIUI image file using fastboot method but when i loaded the image the process exited with an error.

Device not rooted.

well I did used the method in the above mentioned thread and super use is installed. I even used su command and rom manager couple of times and it worked ?

Then why I am getting the error ?

What possible could be the issue and the solution to it ?

Edit -

Now here is the catch - If I power on the device and use flashtool it says Root Access Allowed.

Now if I boot into fastboot method to flash it says "failed (The Device must be rooted first) "

Dang. What now !

HI. I have bought Samsung Galaxy S3 a month ago and everything goes really nice. But yesterday i realized that the stock weather widget that it has it gives me wrong location.That was not happened when i bought the phone. I tried everything to fix this but nothing worked. The truth is that I like it very much and i do not want to replace it with something else. Is there a way to fix it???

Since last few days the notification bar was having an issue. When I try to pull it down it would go up and hide from the screen totally. Is this due to some virus infection?

To solve this issue I did factory reset yesterday after which the notification bar is working properly. But now the messages app has crashed. When I try to open it, it closes automatically and also do not show any messages in it.

Can any one tell me what could be the issue. My Android version is 2.3.5 and htc sense 3.5. My phone is not rooted.

could you be more specific? like the link to the rom and what you have done to install it

edit:

anyway i found it myself. it is this Sungsoni HD thread, right?

so from what i read there it is absolutely a must to do a perfect fresh install and just from the official CWM 6.0.2.3 or 6.0.2.7 so be sure to have that CWM installed.

If you have it do a nandroid back up. download again the zip. do a full wipe: wipe dalvik - wipe cache and then wipe data/factory reset flash the zip, and then wipe dalvik. reboot! this should work!
