I'm ready to try a ROM, before the OTA finds it's way on my phone. I'm looking for the best way to unlock this device. I thought I'd give this new tool a try, however, it doesn't appear to work on the HTC Incredible 4G LTE (fireball). The temp-root method seems to work, but not the S-OFF.

FWIW, I wouldn't be messing around with a new S-OFF method that hasn't been tested or verified to work for our device by someone who knows what they are doing. It isn't really a surprise that it doesn't work. Try one of the known working methods if you want to get it done.

It looks like temproot may have failed. Although it is contusing, because it state success. One of the requirements was a working internet connection. The error "can't post external links" kind of implies it couldn't talk to a site. Any chance that was your problem. I would like to know if this works too. My wife's phone has the latest OTA and can't be rooted by any of the past methods.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] lascerius:
Sorry for this being lengthy, I wanted to make sure I gave enough info.

Neither of the two most popular recovery tools are working for me. They both state the backups are successful but the restores have flaws. Is anyone experiencing the problems I am? If so, does anyone know what to do about them?

CWM Recovery Touch (and non-touch): Data restores leave certain things not working. I'm not sure what processes are stopping because it flashes and disappears to fast. I know that it causes the ROM Manager for CWM, Titanium Backup Pro, Google Play, and likely more to crash (disappear) immediately upon opening. Chrome browser *might* bright up the keyboard on the first click but it won't work then it will disappear and not come back (but the keyboard does work in other areas, I use Swype Keyboard). I've tried clearing cache and/or data on all 3, uninstalling them then re-installing via APK and various other things. This occurs regardless of whether a factory reset (data/cache) wipe is performed before the restore. However, if I restore with CWM Recovery *then* do a factory reset, Google Play will work and nothing crashes, nor are their long delays.

TWRP does not boot after a restore. It will pass the initial screen showing the phone model, the phone carrier splash screen, then sit on Samsung with the LED solid bright blue and hang.

My goal is to simply trust my backups. The CWM Recovery problem is workable in a terrible situation since my Titanium backups will get my phone *almost* to where it was (barring widgets, which are pain to re-setup, and a few other things).

Titanium Backup Pro question: Is it normal when you remove a system app with Titanium Backup Pro, then do a restore in CWM for that app to still be gone? Since I use the Swype keyboard I removed the other once, did a restore with CWM, had the problem so I did a factory reset and my stock keyboard was missing still (I think it's a Samsung keyboard)

App Details:

CWM Recovery Touch 6.0.4.7 (for Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-I9305))

TWRP 2.6.3.0 (for Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (International i9305))

No a Nandroid backup wipes the phone .

make a Nandroid then in recovery format system sdcard data cache .

You now have an empty phone and restoring the Nandroid should return exact same state .

All this reads as you are doing something wrong .
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] lascerius:
I hope it is as simple as that. I'm booting up in recovery mode (Volume Up + Home + Power) choosing the backup or restore option, then backing up to the External SD card. Then on the restore I'm doing the same except selecting restore from the SD card (I've re-created the CWM problem 5 times, once was with advanced restore of just data the rest were basic restores doing everything). I'm not really sure what I could be doing wrong.

I have the 4.3 stock ROM before I did any custom stuff to the phone (which installed KNOX). I used chainfire's tar.md5 auto root image with Odin 3.09 in download mode when I root the phone, and I've installed CWM Recovery with ROM Manager and with an Odin tar flash in download mode. The install of TWRP was from an Odin 3.09 tar flash in download mode too.

With regard to the TWRP and CWM Recovery, I'm not really sure how easy it is for me to have messed up that part. Do you have this same model phone? Is it possible KNOX is involved in my issues? Maybe I should downgrade one of the recovery tools?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jonesjw362:
Downgrade your recovery and try again.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] lascerius:
That's what I was thinking might be the best solution. Since the flaw in the restores with CWM Recovery are workable for me, I figured I may just wait until I have a need to restore to do that though. Once I do, I'll probably do a bunch of tests until I find something that works solid.

I've already restored my backups and widgets etc. a couple of times and don't really want to do it over again only to test. If there's a way to restore all of that without my having to set it up myself then I'll do it. Right now my Titanium restores don't include wallpaper (except lock screen), most of my widgets (maybe all, can't remember), and I think there was one other thing.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] lascerius:
Downgrading didn't help (6.0.3.6 had a constant barrage of 4-5 apps re-crashing over and over again during the process).

I tried the following with CWM Recovery Touch 6.0.3.6, 6.0.4.5 and 6.0.4.7:

Factory reset wipe, open and test Google Play (more things break but that's the one I chose to test). Reboot into recovery mode and backup to the SD Card (not the external). Immediately advance restored data only (no wipe). Booted up, Google Play crashed, rebooted back into recovery and factory reset (data/cache) and advance restored data again with the same result.

I didn't try a downgraded version of TWRP (probably won't for now). I'm back to 6.0.4.7 and restoring my backups to get my phone back fully. Hopefully CWM Recovery comes out with a new version sometime in the near future that works for me or someone has some insight into what I can do to fix it with the existing (I'm out of ideas).

Issue Samsung stock 4.3 ROM

I ended up switching to CM 10.1.3 (was going to hold off until 11 was stable) but the Samsung stock 4.3 ROM was destroying my battery. After switching, I tested a NANDROID backup and restore with CWM Recovery Touch 6.0.4.7 (same version I was having problems with). The restore worked as it should, no problems.

End Result: As far as I can tell, the cause of the CWM Recovery data partition problem is due to the Samsung 4.3 ROM.

4: proceeding a reboot

5: try every usb slot(especially the ones directly mounted on the motherboard...

then boot into the reboot ruu mode with:

use the right ruu and flash it with

@Nfahajan

That's how you fix it.. First we need to connect to your phone while in bootloader... these are the same steps..

Now you can test the connection to your pc with the following command

fastboot devices

1: type the following command while being in fastboot

fastboot erase cache

2: now flash this custom recovery: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

with this command:

fastboot flash recovery "C:\path\recovery.img"

3: enter the recovery

4: copy the desired ROM to your phone using this command (It has to be a rom zip romname.zip)

I recommand this ROM: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ch/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html

Download that: http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=One_4.19.401.8_odexed.zip

(It's KitKat.. but if you want stock take that: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/ But I think you tried it and it didn't work)

adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /data/media/rom.zip

5: Enter the recovery and flash the rom using the normal flash option

6: wipe again cache and data... reboot

7: Thanksbutton hits are appreciated but not expected ;)
