I tried flashing the .img file and tried the zip and I am still having the same issue. Is it possible permissions got screwed up somewhere? I just installed the 2.6.3.0 (instead of the 2.6.3.1) and am trying a backup to see if that works.

I might just go back to by backup from a day or two ago when everything was working before I tried going to the latest version of TWRP.

EDIT: Well 2.6.3.0 didn't work either. It is weird that I can't see the folder that it creates on my laptop. I can only see it on my phone with ES Explorer and it is still naming the folder really weird things.

EDIT2: I reinstalled 2.6.0.1 and now it names the folder right (just using the date/time), but I still can't see it when I plug in to my computer. I am afraid to try and restore to it to see if it works. I don't understand why I can't see it when I plug in to my laptop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I haven't really followed this thread's progression so forgive me, but you can just tap the bar where it reads "Backup Name: (Auto Generate)" to manually change your TWRP backup names. It's not immediately obvious but its there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xceebeex:
Yea, I understand that, but I don't understand why it is adding stuff like userdebug and a bunch of other stuff automatically when the older version didn't. Then on top of that, while it appears like it worked and I could see the files using ES Explorer, when I hooked it up to my laptop, it wasn't even seeing the TWRP top level folder on the SD Card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I guess this is a difference of opinion then cuz I don't see it as an issue.

Can you view the rest of your internal storage on your laptop? I mean the exact same directory as to where your TWRP storage is located? You are running a KitKat rom which changes the internal storage directories from /sdcard to /0/sdcard (JB 4.3 does as well) so I'd guess that might have something to do with it. I always use Airdroid to transfer files to/from my laptop and I see my newly constructed internal storage fine. I have a MBP so I don't really have a native way to connect my S3 to my laptop to test it out which is why I use AirDroid.

I'm new to android. I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (M919)

I want to gain root access on my phone, but watching all the tutorial videos on YouTube has left me not knowing which program I should use to root. I just want to be able to install some apps, not the custom recovery(roms??)

Is there any good suggestions? Please help! :eek:

I've spent the better part of 4 days trying to simply get my GNEX back to a use able state so I could potentially flash the kit kat 4.4 rom on it, I have gone back to the wugfresh root tool box and performed that procedure 4 times and I get two of the same issues every time.. Super SU binaries won't update and play store wont connect. From what I've read the Super su could be stopping the play store from connecting. But on at least two occasions I didn't even have the Icon. I came on here and asked Nitro about it. He said I just needed to flash a rom and gapps. but the phone won't show them when I'm in recovery. I find it hard to believe this is turning out to be so impossible. Is there any particular ROM and GAPPS someone would suggest. Most answers on these forums make the word vague look vague. I'm just shocked that with all the talent here no one can help me!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] go4bacon:
I've been tinkering with my AT&T GS4 (build MK2) and I had a hard time finding good root and flash methods. I eventually rooted with SafeRoot, and then started doing my research. After a lot of unsuccessful messing around with ROM Installer and GooManager, I tried flashing CWM through GooManager, but apparently I messed it up because now I can only boot into Download Mode. I thought my phone was bricked, but I figured out how to reboot.

My current status is that I am still running MK2, I'm still rooted, and I have not been able to access recovery mode because I just get the "Warning! Do not turn off target!!" screen with the text below:

Could not do normal boot.

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

eMMC BURST MODE enabled​

I would like to flash a new recovery (or at least reset to the stock recovery) so that I can flash CyanogenMod. Alternatively, I'm wondering if this issue will preclude me from flashing a custom ROM through Odin. If not, I'll need an Odin compatible CyanogenMod ROM (.tar, I believe) but I haven't been able to track one down. Has anyone run into this problem before? Now that I have some idea about how this whole process works, is there an "approved solution" for installing custom ROMs on the MK2? According to galaxys4root.com, I shouldn't try to use Odin to flash CWM since it's the AT&T model.

Thanks in advance!

The only thing you can use with AT&T MK2 is the latest version of Safestrap (there is a couple of threads about it).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] go4bacon:
Understood, so in what order would I proceed? Would I have to flash i337MK2stockrecovery.tar.md5 before flashing the stock ROM? Before I received any replies to this thread last night, I attempted to flash the Stock ROM through Odin, but received a "fail" notification.

Alternatively, is there any way I can revert to an older build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] go4bacon:
I tried to read up before I started messing with my phone, but the jargon was so daunting that I couldn't figure out where to start. Recovery, ROM, bootloaders, flash...it was all greek to me until I started learning through failure! If I can flash the stock recovery, perhaps I can "unroot" and do things correctly next time around.

That is clearly one of the most ignorant things I have seen on this site. You went back 2 years to find a post about another phone that had questions that I asked that had not yet been answered and decided to post it in this thread? If you actually took the time to look through that old thread, you would see that I answered the previously unanswered question myself and posted the info so others could benefit. It had absolutely nothing to do with lack of searching and / or reading comprehension. If you have nothing better to do than dig up 2 year old posts that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this post, move on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hednik:
Its just every response you have is arrogant to any question someone asks you feel is beneath you. If you don't like questions don't come into q&a. Treating people in here with loathsome arrogance only serves to stroke your ego.

And it took 30 seconds to find your first thread.

We all ask stuff we could have searched for, even you. I ask stuff that might be obvious too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Telling people to search and read is not arrogance. Asking people why they do things that they don't understand is not arrogance. As any Moderator will tell you, this is not a "support" forum it is a development forum. There is no reason why someone needs to ask questions that have been answered dozens of times. And then after being told the answers already exist, turn around and continue to not read and learn.

Why do you have such a problem with this forum and the rules? The thing is, you are no different than the OP, and me telling the OP that they need to read and learn about their device means that you too, must put a little effort into learning. And that is why you (and others like you) really have a problem with me. It is not rude or arrogant to let people know they are going about things the wrong way by not learning and reading (and doing so until they understand what they are reading). Telling someone they need to read and learn about their device before they screw it up further is ALWAYS the correct answer especially if it is a topic that has been covered several times already. If you or any one else has an issue with that...tough.

YOU:

"Hey guys, I never bothered learning how to drive, but decided to jump behind the wheel anyway...now I'm wrapped around a tree. What should I have done differently?"

ME:

"You should have learned how to drive before getting behind the wheel, why didn't you?"

YOU:

"You're arrogant!"

Really?

Anyway back on topic.

OP, you need to read the "pinned" threads in the general and Q&A section and follow the links in those threads for your specific model and firmware until you completely understand what to do and how to do it. The answers and information you need are in those threads, it is up to you to make use of it or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hednik:
I just think its best to think how other's might view your responses as opposed to being arrogant. I'm just saying that if everyone responded with how you do it would be a sad place to learn. That's what this place is for. Learning... Bottom line. Yes you can correct but it should be done with tact and understanding. BTW your example did not apply to said situation.

Okay so I want to flash back to stock but I realized that my bootloader is not the stock one. I flashed the modem to the newest one before. My bootloader is I747MVLUEMK5. I've heard people sat that i cannot go back to stock just straight flashing with Odin now that I have a different modem. What procedures do I need to take to flash back to stock?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
I apologize. MK5 is a problematic bootloader. Do not try to Odin flash an older firmware over this. Again I apologize. What carrier are you with? If it is a Canadian carrier you can just flash the appropriate firmware from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2558311. These have the bootloader removed.

One of the members has started a seedbox to host the images because the download options in the OP are painfully slow. Post # 208 shows this link to the seedbox http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2543854. You can pick the Telus ROM from here and use this for complete stock. Again I apologize for the bad advice.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karmasblade:
Alright. I already have a stock ROM before and the name of it includes MK5 for TLS. I'm thinking that would work? The exact name is "I747MVLUEMK5_I747MOYBEMK5_I747MVLUEMK5_HOME.tar.md5". No problem, good thing I didn't flash it LOL. Thanks for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
That is the correct one, Backup everything you need off your phone as Odin will wipe everything. nLeaving an external SD in is OK, but the internal memory will get wiped.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karmasblade:
Alright. I was on Quantum but I find that the newest version is far too glitchy and incomplete for me. Any other ones you recommend? How about LiquidSmooth?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
I've only used stock and CM11 so far since 4.3. The I've not tried Liquid Smooth but Grievous ROM is pretty good. It's the ROM currently on my wife's phone. It is white themed Touchwiz which was my biggest selling point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karmasblade:
I don't think that is compatible with the i747m no?

Oh and also, let's say I want to get Liquid Smooth onto my phone but I currently have Quantum. Do I have to flash back to stock with Odin and then install the Liquid Smooth ROM? Or can I just go and wipe the system now in recovery without going to stock and then install Liquid Smooth in recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Grievous is compatible with the 747m. Im on 747m Bell. You just need to flash a modem and kernel to get data and wifi to work. As far as liquid smooth, you do not need to go back to stock. Installing the ROM and then wiping should work. If you do find that you ever flash a ROM and have WiFi issues, kernel is likely culprit. No data is usually due to a modem. These seem to be more often with new ROMs and most development based off AT&T phones.

Hi all,

I just got my MDA yesterday and have been messing around with it ever since.

Anyways, I just have a quick question for those who have more than 1 email account setup through their phones. See I have 2-3 emails I use, plus one for school. I have them setup as messages (on the mda) and my school account through outlook (I couldn't set it up through the mda to work, because of security features). The way I have it setup works, but I am looking for a better way to put all of them into one area, but at the same time all the messages from each account distinguished nicely. If there is such a way please share the knowledge.

It is a small app origianlly from the 6315 phone on TMO. I would guess it is on the MDA, too. It sends an invisible text that triggers the phone to login and download email. It makes it look like a slow push email system :) I don't think it will let me post because of the size. Google it, I'm sure you will find a download for it.

Your email is then setup on the TMO myemail site and those are the settings you use in the messaging app. I think there is a limit of 4 or 5 on the PDA, I only use two so I don't know.

Don't know a way around the security on your school email. Perhaps post the Outlook settings and someone here could post how to set it up on the mobile.

The built-in is far from perfect, but it will work for you.

Is it the MyEmail already installed on the phone? Because everytime I try to set it up it says I need T-Zone, do you guys have T-Zone?
