Hi dears,

Any idea? I download supersu from the first post
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rox:

Thx Rox for your job...

Just installed on 9301I -->

Recovery did not get installed until I removed 'Auto Reboot', unplugged and rebooted manually with Vol-Up+Home+Power

TNX!

What does it mean: Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rajeev:
Pls help. I am trying to flash CM 12.1 in my friend's S3 Neo. I am getting "Error executing updater binary in zip.". I am using old TWRP version. Today tried to install latest TWRP version and i am not getting recovery. I have tried second ODIN method. I have followed instructions but i cant enter recovery. Its just a black screen. But old recovery working. Any help?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] vlad0n:
After you flash TWRP with Odin, when the phone restart you must press quickly up+home+power. I have the same problem with CWM. When you see that Odin restart your phone, press quickly that buttons to go in Recovery.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rajeev:
I have already pressed that my friend. Its showing a screen like recovery booting in a blue background and thats it. All is black. I can't see twrp at there. As i told old version of TWRP is working fine. Pls help
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] tech_infinity:
I hope u must have turned on usb debugging and odin version is not too old.

Now I think that you'll have to install stock rom again through odin then reinstall recovery.

this problem probably occurred because you didn't convert data and cache to f2fs
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rajeev:
Hi

Thanks and everything works fine. But my friend does not like the interface of CM 12.1. He wasted my full day.. :D So i decided to flash stock 4.4.4 firmware. I done everything correctly and device booted but its stuck at Samsung logo with a blue LED. Almost one hour its not booting into setup screen.. Any solution? I think it's because of the F2FS file system change. Not really sure. So how can i revert? Any advice or help?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] tech_infinity:
Lol

Yeah I think it's because of f2fs

When I flashed stock rom after f2fs it showed error and asked me to reset my device. I did it and everything worked fine.

I think you should now try to install recovery and then convert data and cache to ext4 then again flash stock.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rajeev:
Yea. U r correct my friend.. I have done what u have said and everything works fine. Now me and my friend happy.. Thanks alot for ur help...
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] tech_infinity:

Which variant u hv I9300I or other

---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

No link in twrp flashable. Zip

I rooted with king root.apk

I can't use pc

Give me link

GT-I9300I
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Rajeev:
Flashable is not available for now. If u don't have PC then use 3rd method. Very easy. Make sure u r typing all commands correctly.. For me 3rd method is one of the best
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] ajaz35:
I have cm12.1 zip

Changed data n cache partitions to f2fs,but still on flashing this rom, recovery hangs at patching system unconditionally.

Plz hlp

Update

Actually download was corrupt.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] el_Salmon:
3rd method needs a rooted phone. Then, how can I root the mobile without using ODIN?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] ajaz35:
Use kingroot 4.1>> apk
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] ajaz35:
After rooting , flash twrp by android apk called flashify ( working for all).
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] jabre:
Thanx, a piece of cake rooting and twrp via odin and thanx to this topic....
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] XDAdherent:
How did you do that? There is no s3 neo recovery into flashify.

From Nexus with Love
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] ajaz35:
Root your phone (king root. Apk)

Download recovery by any browser to sd card.

Click on flash recovery option .

Select choose a file potion

Select your recovery n flash it.

dl the twrp 2.8.5.0 from second link, flashed with odin 1.85....all went fine,but when i want to load into twrp, it just load the stock recovery :(

Any idea?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] aelfinn:
Yes: read the thread. This has been asked a dozen times. It’s even in the OP (although that could be clearer, [MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION]), see #9: boot directly into recovery after flashing TWRP.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Mawe79:
[MENTION=4672508]aelfinn[/MENTION]

i already read the thread, but couldn't find this answer. Even in Post #9 there is no anser about this question!

But thank you for the hint, now it works!

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] HTC-Touch-Pro-Junkie:
Coming from an S4 Mini, the TWRP update method #2 worked as intended but now I get the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message.

However the recovery is working just fine but I'm curious of how to remove that stupid message.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] DerPuGNa:
is that ok?

is that ok to install first TWRP / CWM before rooting?

because back when im flashing with old samsung S, we need to root first to have CWM?

we dont often use odin so it bothers me sorry... :confused: :confused:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] jad88:
I flash recovery and after booting in twrp I flash the root zip
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] chaudhariniket:
a general query...

if I reflash recovery via ODIN, will it replace the build.prop of my system and/or will it affect any other apps.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] cango123:
No.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] MoonPWR:
Sorry, but I don't know. I have i9301i.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] lollipop:

i hope to see more dev stuffs from you ;)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:
it is working for gt-i9300i too ? please change it in official site and please update it to 2.8.7.7
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] MoonPWR:
I don't have access to official page. Also, there is only 2.8.7.0 available for now, on official page recovery is always up to date , I don't compile builds - TWRP team do it. I just give them my sources.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:
ok thanks just do a request

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] marco978:
so nobody has yet confirmed if twrp app works on I9300i with i9301 recovery....just asking

anybody........?????????
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:
It works on both and I confirm it :)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] UppGr4de:
Is the rooting method still working? I wanna root my phone and I'm a "little" late to the party.

Also, If I root now and update (OTA) will the phone still be rooted?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] marco978:
hey I tried the new version...

it worked..thank god

haven't flashed anything yet maybe later

thanks for confirming it man

your the best!!:good:

EDIT--> DO NOT TRY IT. REPEAT DO NOT INSTALL LATEST TWRP FROM OFFICIAL APP ON I9300I

it will boot into recovery

it will wipe

but it will NOT install ROMs Gapps etc

when installing ROMs twrp will just restart everythime

that's what happens to me
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:
The root method is still working

But if you root you phone you will not be able to do ota update

Update your phone to latest firmware then root your phone

Samsung will stop the support for this phone So anyway you will not receive ota

I advice you to go for cm12.1 or RR 5.5.9 especially if you have no warranty they are really great Roms and better than stock [emoji4]
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Airboner:
[MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION] plz help me i have flashed with twrp s3 neon but doesnt show me custom recovery,it shows me stock rocovery and when i gonna flash rom etc it says that e: couldnt verify and other blah blah blah.. :(

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] k2828:

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] ziad311:
But do TWRP team update sources or you update them and they build/compile recovery?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] smanic:
So guys I have problem. I always rooted with auto root tar file and always worked, but I tried to root with your files and It's not working, and now when i tru to root again with auto root file that always worked its not working too. The super su binary update always fail
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Krumbalu:
odin cannot see my phone , i am able to boot into recovery but then the odin cannot recognize my phone, it does so only when the phone is completely booted

maybe it has something to do with the fact that i dont have any sd card in my phone??

oh my gosh i was pushing volume up instead of down all the time :eek:eek:OO

thx anyway lol
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] techie_vintage:
I also faced the same problem. However, I got it's solution on the official TWRP website which states - "Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

But, I didn't get as to where to type this fastboot reboot command? Can anyone pls tell me?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] nalas:
Hello.

I had the same problem - solved - after you install recovery via ODIN not restart the phone normally, restart with 3 combo buttons to recovery TWRP , after that you will restart the phone normally.

In my case it help.

All the best.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:

To install it use official twrp app from play store and select s3 neo
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] marco978:
I did that and it could not flash roms last time

I ended up in a messy situation:(
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:
Maybe you turned on signature verification
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] nalas:
On i9301i TWRP v2.8.7.0 works very well.

I've installed it from TWRP app from Playstore.

Thx for your help guys.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] marco978:

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] TheKiloOhm:
I was just wondering - do I need to have the bootloader unlocked to use the odin method?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] IanWorthington:
Trying to install TWRP via ODIN as described in in post 2 on my S3 Neo+ (i9300i, dual SIM version)

Seem to be able to flash ok but when I try to enter recovery it goes to DOWNLOAD mode instead (with a message "Could not do normal boot").

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Ahmad Tawfik:
To go to recovery

Long press power key-(volume up)-home key

At the same time
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] IanWorthington:
Yes, that's what I'm doing. But it doesn't go into recovery but download.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] IanWorthington:
Is this install Android-version specific by any chance? I'm on stock 4.3. Might that be why it's not working?

(I get the same error message installing via ODIN and the terminal emulator)

FIXED: This TWRP requires 4.4.4. It does NOT work on 4.3.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] marco978:
heres what u can do....

boot into system

download the image for ur device(from 3rd method )

install flashyfy

open flashify

select flash recovery

select .img

and flash

the boot into recover with physical buttons

(not with recovery boot option in app)

[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] nickpatellis:
On Samsung galaxy s3 neo gti93001i 4.4.2 android

What kernel would I flash ? ( I have never flashed anything)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] JMailuhu:
Download "TWRP Manager" from playstore. I used it to flash TWRP3.0.0.0 for the GT-I9301I.

Select your model from the list, and download latest available TWRP for your device.

If running stock rom, i suggest not flashing any kernel, ever!!! Both don't bode all to well.

Besides if i'm correct you'll need a custom rom for android to be set "SELinux Permissive" which is 'Enforcing' at default. Its to bypass security able to flash kernels, but i'm not sure on that though.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakohunter:
hi I was trying to unlock my g900w8 galaxy s5, I guess I ended up erasing my efs.

I ended up with imei=unknown, the baseband and everything else reads correct. but I keep getting the 'mobile network not available' or the "not registered to network" error'

and no my imei is not blacklisted I just need to get it back on my phone.

I did make a back up of the nv with nv writer and a back up of qcn with qpst. but I did not make a copy of my efs folder.

my problem is I cannot restore my nv nor can I restore my qcn. its getting blocked from some kind of permission. for example when I try to restore in nv writer I get these errors:

Writing NV-items from a file:

Unsuccessfully written NV-items:

00001 (0x0001) - Read only item

00002 (0x0002) - Read only item

00003 (0x0003) - Read only item

00550 (0x0226) - Access denied

00855 (0x0357) - SPC (6 digits) is required

01943 (0x0797) - Read only item

05597 (0x15DD) - Read only item

05598 (0x15DE) - Read only item

10155 (0x27AB) - Access denied

Done.

and similar issues with qcn back up.

is this because of the s5 firmware?

how do I force a successful write?

or if possible how can I extract my efs info from my two back ups?

when I open the qcn file as an archive with 7.zip I do see several folders like EFS_Backup, NV_Items, NV_NUMBERED_ITEMS, Provisioning_Item_Files. but I don't know what to do with them or how to convert them into something I can put back in my phone.

thanks any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
We're sorry to hear that your phone got messed up. Just goes to show that the very first thing anyone ought to be doing is making backups just in case you need them. That should be common sense but we're all guilty of taking risks sometimes.

However, we can tell that you didn't do much of a search or read more than about two posts in the forum before posting. If you had you would have found countless posts asking this question and the inevitable response i.e. discussing how to change /repair /modify, etc IMEI numbers is not permitted on this forum. It's too easy to abuse or facilitate the trade in stolen phones.

And no, I doubt that the staff will make an exception just for you. You'll have to rely upon Google or possibly your carrier will replace your phone under warranty regardless of cause. Often if you don't volunteer information, they don't really look too closely at why a phone fails. Samsung will have no problem ultimately repairing the original phone when it goes their refurbishment process.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakohunter:
thank you for you reply, I have searched, I've searched all over the net even, I do know that talking about changing the imei is not permitted on this forum but in my searches I have come upon many threads regarding imei problems and recovery, coming from this board as well. I have tried many different things and programs, wiped my phone a few times reinstalling the firmware, rooting, unrooting etc. but I still do not have a solution to my problems :(

I am not trying to change my imei, I lost it while trying to unlock my phone. I am just trying to recover my imei through my back ups or any means to get my phone back up and running.... even if it was just help to get my back ups to actually back up to my phone I would be really greatfull because at the moment it is just a really expensive paperweight.

thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You

are

trying to change your IMEI. From it's current value to the original one. And posting how to change an IMEI can be expected to be abused by thieves and the like. You can't say, I know the rules say don't explain how to pick locks. but it's okay because i will only use it to get into my own house. Umm, no. Once posted, miscreants will have access to the information as well. No doubt the reason why XDA staff don't allow the type of discussion you want to engage in.

Since you know that this isn't permitted you should have simply dropped it rather than try to justify an exception. If you felt strongly about the subject you could try to persuade staff to change the rules, rather than skirt them. The latter suggests that you are ignoring them mostly because it would be an expedient way to fix your phone.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakohunter:
ok, im not here to argue with you, I was only seeking help and being honest about it.

I could have left imei out of my whole post and just asked for help in restoring my nv and qcn backups.

or rather why my phone is not writing the backups. which is my whole intention.

ive seen many posts regarding them nv, efs and qcn but you seem to be fixated on the term imei so lets just let the post die or have it closed.

I understand what you are saying in regards to imei but that is just a part of nv efs and qcn backups. it is a risk that everyone takes when modding or customizing their phones, so backing them up and restoring as needed is always recommended.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
If you have a backup of your EFS, simply restore it. That is straightforward, easily done and not controversial.

I thought you said you hadn't made a backup which is unfortunate. And I do have sympathy for the situation. But as you just said that is an expected risk of modding our phones. Having a broken phone isn't cause to ignore a set of rules that say this topic is forbidden due to abuse.
