I unlocked rooted and flashed recovery without any problems it seemed I used adb to fastboot flash maguro 5.5.0.2 then rom manager to upgrade recovery after I flash recovery in rom manager I can boot into it fine 1 time after that I get the Android on its back hence I have to flash recovery from rom manager everytime before I enter - any ideals what I've need to do to get this to work correctly - or can someone point me in right direction
There are two files that re-flash the stock recovery on every boot. You need to delete them, then reflash your CWM. They are:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

I deleted the files wished I would have saved as bak then I could have received otas by restoring stock recovery and using rootkeeper anyway to put them back and set permissions

I flashed the most recent TBASGSIII 2.0 ROM. (FF18 stockish tw ROM with agats kernel/recovery).
I was installing my apps setting up my bootanimation and removing garbage and think i removed/disabled the wrong thing.
Programs are acting like they have no root access. Cant quickboot or remount /system. Mobil Odin cant recognize device to flash gb kernel to restore nandroid.
Im visiting with the inlaws and have no usb cable. I have a laptop, wifi, kies, and my E4GT as my only tools for survival.
I have no way to recover from a brick except to reactivate my HTC Hero (epic fail).
My most recent nandroids are all ICS using agats recovery to backup. Im not sure if its safe to restore using even his safe recovery or if that will even fix my issue.
Last things i remember doing before this were flashing a boot animation zip, replacing the boot animation and sound files in system, and disabled a couple apps (talk, task, not sure).

You must have deleted super user
Try flashing su.zip
Also mobile Odin needs root access so you can't use it
But you can use odin

Can u link su.zip or post i can get it from? I cant get xda app to load for some reason.
Superuser app shows binaries are installed, but cant gain root access to update them.
Is it safe to nandroid restore with agats kernel/recovery?

As long as you can still get to CWM this should do the trick for you. Flash it in CWM, reboot your phone, and you should be good to go.

Good luck!
PS - Restoring a nandroid from Agat's recovery is completely safe.
Agats had proven to be safe for me. I have flawlessly backed up and restored using it. Even wiping everything works. Just make sure you don't wipe after you restore if your recovery isn't agat's... YOU WILL BRICK HARD. If you did a nandroid, Agat's should save you.

Thank you all. I did eventually make it home and odined to el28 and restored from there to be sure.
Im glad that agat's kernel is safe for recovering too. Definitely loving the green menu, too

Pls explain what do you mean "no CWM anymore"?
Do you see the stock recovery?
You still could flash CWM or TWRP (another recovery, my favorite I'd say) from ODIN. You need a PC with Windows XP/7/8 and Samsung USB drivers installed to do it. Instructions are available in Q&A.
I initially had cwm installed and my root was working fine.
After I got the 4.3 update via CyanogenMod I updated my phone.
It went well. But I realized that i had lost my root options so whenever I opened super su it said that there's no binary installed and that I'll have to re root again.
So I was like maybe I should just root it again with the method I used first too root my phone ( when it was running on stock ). So I used the same Odin and rooted it. Although it said it was successful the root was still unavailable.
Well I lost interest in that and I got a another update from cm and when I tried to install it I couldnt. My cwm had gone. I tried re installing it with ROM manager but it wouldn't work... I don't know what to do.

Hey guys I just rooted my s3 using towelroot and then dl twrp app and attempted to install recovery when it was finished I rebooted to twrp recovery and it says there's nothing on my phone no data or anything. Before I rebooted the system to figure out what happened it told me there was no OS on the phone so now I'm stuck in twrp. What do I do? Do I have to have a computer or can I fix it using another phone and moving sd cards?? Please help

I've never used that app, does it auto select the recovery for you, or do you have to choose? If so which one did you try?
Did you wipe anything?
Have you tried to reboot even though it tells you there's no OS?
You may have to Odin the stock firmware. Yes you need a computer to do so.

Towelroot is a new way to root devices. I've only used it with my note 3. It only gives you root. And only downloaded twrp manager in play store and ran the install recovery script from inside the ago. I did all this because I don't have access to a computer right now. I was able to boot back into the phone without anything happening to it. Now I need to know why when I was in twrp recovery that twrp was not able to read or Mount any of my data or partitions...?

You can use Towelroot for the S3 too. I have a thread about it in the General section.
As for the recovery issues, I'm not sure. What model is your device? What firmware is it running and what version of TWRP is installed? (I think the latest is 2.8.0.1. Try both that and 2.6.3.1.) You can get the recovery from my signature.
If those don't work, try philz recovery instead.

1. Is there a way to tell the stock recovery to run update.zip already stored in /sdcard? The only option available is load via adb sideload unfortunately the usb port is no longer working (charging, data, fastboot, adb etc; using wireless charging instead).
I recently flashed the developer preview of android lollipop . Bootloader is also currently unlocked.
2. If step 1 is possible, is there a way to create a signed update.zip of the most recent twrp.img recovery that can run on stock recovery?
1) I don't think that this can be done in stock recovery. 2) You could flash the latest TWRP using Flashify.

Is there a way to root the lollipop developer preview without using adb or fastboot? If I can root I can just flash recovery img using su terminal.

The latest SuperSu will root Lollipop. It can be flashed via TWRP.

The thing is i cant flash supersu since i dont have custom recovery. To get a custom recovery, i need a working usb port which is unfortunately broken.
Understood. The Flashify app will allow you to install TWRP without a PC if your current system is rooted. If your current system isn't rooted, Towelroot should do the trick.
