[MOD][One Click Root] Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13!
It is stickied as the 4th thread in the dev section if you had bothered to look. Both the download and instructions are in that thread.

One Note...
Just a note, going through the process I hit an issue where after flashing Bonsai4All, my phone stuck at the loading screen. All I did was boot back into Clockwork using the 3 button (volume down, camera, power) and flashing the ROM again. Worked like a charm.
Good ROM choice, 2.0 was great, 3.0 is even better...

[Q] Bootloop / Power button in Recovery not responding

Rooted successfully, flashed cwm's most recent recovery and made a backup,i go and DL miui and try to flash that and get a neverending bootloop , so i go into recovery and try to go to backup/restore and my power button wont work.. aka im trying to select the option to do my backup and it isnt responding.. but it does respond correctly when going into recovery/ download mode
I originally had this thread posted in wrong section of ssgs2,
A response i had was where i got the cwm from, i replied the market. apparently im not supposed to use the one from the market, and thats where i stand currently, any help is greatly appreciated to get this phone up and running again
Odin and flash a stock image onto it and a stock kernel, should be fine by then
That probably isn't clockwork mod- rather samsungs default recovery. In samsungs recovery, you press the home button instead. The reason cwm from the market does not work is that it is identified as a galaxy s II, and ours is an epic 4g touch, so it flashes the wrong version. Just use Odin to flash any kernel in the development section (I strongly recommend the LoSt Kernel)

Also, there is no miui for our phone. Do not be mistaken- the sgs2 and the sgs2 epic 4g touch are not the same phone.

Thanks that worked perfectly
this post worked great. for some reason clockwork 5.0.0.27 will not let me use power button anymore. Home button works fine though. Thanks
Yeah just give thanks to anyone that helps.

I recently upgraded to 2.3.5 and would like to root my phone to remove crap apps. Is there a simple, one click method to make this happen?

Nope. One clicks don't work on 2.3.5. You need to use Odin to install CWM 5.027, then pull the battery before it boots, power up into CWM first then flash a custom GB ROM.

Why not just have him install the gb3.tar kernel instead of "pull the battery before it boots" much easy and less fearfull.

Does that have clockwork in it too? Usually I say uncheck reboot in Odin but then you still gotta pull the battery and pop it back in then boot to CWM. Didn't mean to be scary..lol!

No but it qbkings tutorial he says to flash the kernel first.... then flash Cwm just saying it would be less chance of error. Something in the stock kernel has a script that searches for cwm and causes it to delet after the first boot anyways.....

Exactly! And no worries about it overwriting recovery as long as you flash a custom gb rom (there is a mostly stock one if trying to stay stock) as the kernel will be included with the rom... don't let biggorn scare you... its not scary to pull the battery after odin ;-)

The Odin kernel trick worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the help, my Epic is now rooted and has superuser access. The primary intent of this project was to remove all of the crap-ware and now that that is accomplished I have to ask...now what? What other things should I look at to make it faster and better?
Thanks again.

Flashing a custom rom.... and a custom kernel.
Suggestions: legendary 2.2 and the samurai or shadow kernel
MarcusantRom revival v2..... just go through the android development forums to see which rom you'd like to use. Just be careful what your trying to download thought. If your Rom is BML or MTD then you have to download that type of kernel.

U don't even have to pull out the battery is instantly boots up into cwm that's what happened to me when I got my replacement that was already on ei22 I just connected to odin and flashed the latest cwm and had a rom already on my sd card so I just flashed the rom when it opened cwm for me
Its very easy and no worries and if it doesn't open cwm its not like your phone will brick or anything u just need to try again. To flash a kernel would be easy too

Some phones didn't boot into clockwork. They hung at the black screen. Remember every phone is different so those of us post answers that try to cover every possibility. Great for you that yours booted into CWM...go play the lottery now...LOL.

qbking77 has a 2 part video on it that is very step by step. just follow it and you will be fine. from what i remember just 1 extra fie to odin and you need a file on your sdcard. it was pretty gravy. have fun and mistakes are a short odin back to the beginning
edit.
haha forgot there was a second page..... use remember you can go from bml to bml, or bml to mtd, mtd to mtd type roms. YOU CAN NOT JUST FLASH FROM MTD TO BML!!! you must odin back to ec05 and make sure repartition is checked and use the victory pit. happy playing
just remember though... after reading the information on these forums, and you are still unsure or whatever... ask questions, ask questions , ask questions...
Well everything is running great but now Sprint is trying to upgrade my firmware to EL30. Will this do away with my new found rooting and can it be re-rooted if it does?

It will fail to update since your rooted you have to go completely stock to upgrade and once upgraded its the same root process with the exception of using a different kernel.

You can root EL30 the same way you root EI22.

How do i get cwr on miui 2.4.13_4.0.4

When i flash this rom an i try to go into recovery its not there..so when i install it from the e4gtauto it wont boot back into the rom..what do i do..in the e4gtauto what am i suppose to choose
You need to odin a recovery with it baked in. You only need to do this if you are wanting to leave MIUI. For now the kernel that comes bundled in the ROM doesn't have the recovery you want.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
CWM is not included in the rom for your protection. If you need to do any flashing you can use autoroot to flash el26cwm. When it reboots besure to hold the volume up and power keys to get into recovery as flashing the gingerbread kernel will cause your phone not to boot back into the rom since it's an ICS ROM. At the moment using any type of custom recovery in ICS is not recommended thus why the developers have taken it out due to all the bricking issues.
COOL COOL i just like to back up my roms..im on xplod mini 2.0 using rougue_ET-1.4.0-GUNSLINGER and its works an this is a ics rom...just a heads up
Please what ever you do I would avoid to do any wiping or restoring while in an ICS recovery/kernel. Please note also even the the gunslinger thread, its advised not to do any type of flashing *on ICS builds* Backing up might be ok, but nonetheless take your time and try to read as much as possible, there's numerous thread posted by others who have asked a similar question and has been answered.

you can mobile Odin el26. then reboot right into recovery.
easiest and safest way.
but you will have to reflash a kernel or rom in order to boot back up after you done in recovery.

"Be sure" when you flash el26 cwm 5.0.2.7 that just after boot, when first Samsung screen appears, start to hold power and volume up.. Otherwise you will have issues.. This is a gingerbread kernel and isn't made to run on ics, but does work as long as you follow those exact instructions.. I always just keep a copy of the el26 cwm tar on my sdcard and use mobile odin to flash it when I leave a rom.... It's fastest way to do this... Here is cwm el26 tar. Use either pc odin 1.85 or mobile odin to flash..

[Q] Did I soft-brick my GSIII?

I've searched relentlessly for a solution to this, but I haven't come up with anything, so it's time to ask for help.
I just used mskip's Galaxy S3 QCOM Toolkit v2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682) to flash CWM and root my GSIII. The recovery flashed successfully, using "recovery-cwm-lte-sgs3-v5.tar" included with the toolkit.
CWM recovery works. However, when I tried to boot the phone, I got the first Samsung splash screen, then the screen turned black, a second later the boot tune played (with no splash screen showing), and then... nothing. The blue notification light blinks infinitely, and the phone is unresponsive except for holding the power button down for 10 seconds, which restarts it, and the same thing happens again.
I can boot into CWM recovery, as well as download mode. I tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset, which changed nothing. However, when I tried to flash a stock ROM (again using the toolkit), I got an "unsupport dev_type" error. I presume that USB debugging has been defaulted to disabled now from this, but maybe I'm wrong. In any case, I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't want to claim that I've bricked it yet, when I have both recovery and download, but I don't know what to do now.
Help?
EDIT: I'm sorry, I forgot basic information : I'm using a SGH-T999 (T-Mobile GSIII).
I would defiantly boot in to cwr and do a clean install on a diferent rom. Not a back up u made with cwr but a .zip rom... n u sgould b ok.. I would try jb smooth

See if you can flash CM10, if you don't have to have stock.

Looks like the toolkit installed an older version of CWM. I flashed 6.0.1.2 via ODIN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30806933) and then flashed CyanogenMod 10.0.0. Works great.
Thanks so much!

[Q] Android 4.1.1 root?

Hey guys, just got my SIII and I can't tell which rooting methods work on 4.1.1 and which ones don't. They haven't been updated in a while it seems. I'm coming from the EVO 4G where I rooted, installed a custom recovery, and then from there it was just a matter of flashing ROMs through recovery. Is the process similar on the SIII? Can anyone link me to an updated rooting method? Thanks for the help.

Nothing has been updated in a while because the process to root has not changed. The process to root the GS3 is incredibly simple, especially compared to the Evo. I used the Team Epic Root From Recovery.

Used the same guide when I got my phone last month

Just bought the SIII for black friday deal and was prompted for the JB 4.1.1 update. I updated and ran into an issue with rooting. It appears when I use Odin to load clockwork mod it works but as soon as I restart it goes back to normal recovery mode. So instead of having Odin reboot my phone I unchecked that option and did a battery pull. Success I was able to boot into clockwork mod. Then I tried to flash CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7 to gain root access. It all appeared fine in Clockwork mod, but as soon as I rebooted it seems to have broke.
Anyone have any suggestions?
This has been the case since the LG8 update. It has code that will replace the stock recovery if the signature check fails.
You need to follow the Team Epic Root from Recovery method (posted above). You flash CWM using Odin but do not reboot. Do a battery pull and boot into CWM. From there you flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery file. This gives you root but also removes the recovery signature check that is replacing the stock recovery.
So close, I guess I didn't know team epic had a different root for recovery file. Giving it a shot shortly. Thanks!
