It is mounted as rw, and I tried everything, chowning, chmoding... not just /sdcard but other locations (/storage/emulated/*; /data/media et. al.)

Everything seems ok, but just not working...
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] bene1:
can you explain me better how you did it please ?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] _wook_:
If you had backup, then you was able to restore it properly, but now, however, when you make backup, it is readonly no matter what.

I will try to see what actually is making problem today.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] bene1:
thank you

TWRP updated to 2.8.1.0 :)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rox:
There are some problems with 2.8.1.0 recovery, download links removed, will try to fix ASAP
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] smokerman:
nice to see this..i have root on my s3 neo..just need TWRP and custom roms.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] _wook_:
Just for the record: As Rox stated to me before, Read Only file system on /sdcard/ is indeed bug related to firmware version. I updated to latest and there is no issue any more.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] smokerman:
i have 4.4.2 version and that bug exists..there is no update for my phone..i have fixed it with a app and now its all ok.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] _wook_:
What app did you used?

I downgraded my phone while ago to be able to root it and I kept old sw version. At the moment we have same sw version though.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] smokerman:
i rooted my phone and im using sdfix from playstore.

Can I just flash SuperSU + KNOX Removal, directly from stock recovery, without flashing TWRP?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rox:
I think you cant .. you can try ..
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] JMailuhu:
You want to flash a kernel because you don't want to lose data? That's kind of misplaced.! please indulge me, in trying to understand...

You can backup data with Titanium Backup. Kernel flashing is only useful in combination with particular roms, for optimizing cpu, ram-loads, battery and some other tweaks. Has nothing to do with "your" data.

Since you haven't flashed anything as of yet, i'd stay far away from kernels unless you really need to flash one.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] nickpatellis:
I don't know if I wlli lose root or anything if I flash a rom
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] JMailuhu:
In that case, YES! You will lose data if you flash another rom because the system and partition needs to be wiped prior to the flash. So you need to backup anything importaint with Titanium Backup. Most CM roms come prerooted, however you need to activate it first in Developers Options.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] CenturyFalcon:
Hej guys...i tried restoring a backup but the recovery says the partition is locked... (my SD is unlocked) How can i undo this?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] harisdelic:
Download TWRP Manager form Play store(must be rooted). Find our device, and download recovery image. After that it will be flash by itself ad woala, you have got TWRP 3.0.0 FULLY WORKING.

Worked for me for a while, than locked my sd card. I will try 2.80v
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] CenturyFalcon:
Thats all done with twrp 3.0.0...thats why i ask what to do...i've got the manager and the recovery though...the backup is done with the recovery...restoring says the partition is locked...

Hello everyone,

I tried to read the entire thread but I kind of got lost on which version(link) I should download to install TWRP and root my galaxy (eventually I will flash CM12.1 which runs smoothly on my old S2). Is post#2 the right way to go?

I have a GT-I9301I (single sim) S3 Neo

Android 4.4.2 (stock not rooted)

Baseband I9301IXXUAOL1

Can someone recap the entire thing?

Download TWRP (which version? link for my phone?)

Download Odin (here? xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913 as explaine in post#2?)

Download SuperSU and KNOX removal script (here? xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3154970&d=1423350105 and here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507931 version 5.0.0 or 5.2.1 as explaine in post#2?) and put them into SD card

Install TWRP with Odin as described here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56085899&postcount=2 (after having installed

boot into recovery with 3 buttons combo

)

From recovery install SuperSU and KNOX removal zip pointing at the SDcard

Does that look good? Can someone post the correct links (TWRP/SuperSU/KNOX) for my model and tell me if I'm on the right track?

One last question, will the process (just twrp install and root) definately void the warranty or can the KNOX script do something about it if I ever needed to flash back the stock via Odin?

Thanks in advance,

m.

[MENTION=2201965]HTC-Touch-Pro-Junkie[/MENTION] Messing up a bit with the recovery, I realized I have the same "issue" (my recovery works though). I flashed the 2.8.7 img using rashr (not Odin). Could that be the reason?

[MENTION=3263974]JMailuhu[/MENTION] Is it safe to upgrade to 3.0.0? I have the 2.8.7. Can I just download the .img from the official repo .....dl.twrp.me/s3ve3g/ (sorry, no links for me! :( ) and flash it with rashr? Or do I have to install TWRP Manager and flash it with it? Can I just boot into recovery and flash the img?

Thanks for your help!

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:
Flash twrp with the official app or from twrp recovery itself

Note:

Don't worry it works for all s3 neo variants but not for (9300 the exynos one)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] _mic_:
Thanks [MENTION=6915542]Ahmad Tawfik[/MENTION], will do that! ;) (most likely from recovery itself)

I installed TWRP 2.8 via odin. Twrp thinks it is 3 februari 2014 today.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] nekr0:
Is there sth wrong in a way I'm trying to do it?

1) I've installed TWRP using Odin, it works - I can boot into recovery mode.

2) I've put both SuperSU-v1.94.zip and Knox-Removal-Script.zip on SD card

3) I've installed through TWRP... After trying to install SuperSU phone rebooted itself. I checked, it is not rooted.

There was some red errors (about not being signed or sth similiar) during installation of SuperSu, but at the end it showed message that instalation is completed. I've retried installing through TWRP, it was the same situation with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th time...
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Matsjo:
EDIT: disregard, see my next post!

Damnit I've been trying to get this to work for two hours now. The flashable zip file doesn't work for me either, but the Odin method isn't working either! I'm following the exact steps prescribed. I even went back to the stock settings, enabled usb debugging again, tried it with the newest version of Odin, and no matter what I try the damn phone refuses to actually boot into recovery mode with TWRP. Instead it boots into the stock recovery mode. Odin doesn't give me any kind of error after I renamed the recovery.tar.md5 file to recovery.tar, before I did that I got the invalid hash error. Any tips on what's going on? I made sure I actually have an I9301I. What's going on?

Rox, are the instructions still up to date? Is there an extra step somewher whe should be aware of? It looks like even if I got TWRP to work I'd still not be able to root the phone.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rox:
I have just updated to 2.8.1.0. For me it is working. Other users ?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Matsjo:
It works!

Hurrah I've gotten it to work! The crucial step I was missing was to simply root the device first, I thought I could install TWRP without doing that. I followed the instructions here, and then proceeded to install CM and GApps without any further problems. I don't know how you were able to install TWRP, but if you root your phone, thén install TWRP, thén install SuperSu and Knox, and finally install CM and GApps you'll be good to go.

Initial performance seems good, the camera is indeed working, I haven't run into any bugs or crashes yet. The phone seems warmer than it was before, I'll report back on battery life. It's looking like this port is a winner!
