How to get reboot to cwm mod in stock touchwiz - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps (US Carriers)

Is it possible to have a command in power menu to have reboot in CWM without flashing any roms? I sort of like the stock rom, it hasnt pushed me to install anything else for now but i am in need of a reboot to cwm, is it doable?

Are you talking about a 4 way reboot menu?

Download quickboot from the play store then create a short cut to recovery on your home screen, its not in power menu but i hope it helps

Not ideal, but I just reboot using terminal:
Code:
su
reboot recovery

I use ROM Manager only for this, reboot in recovery

I've been using the CWM boot to recovery option in the installer to boot to recovery, is it safe to uninstall the CWM Auto installer or does it need to be installed for CWM to work.

Since I upgraded my Arc S with the official update, the blue light is quite often flashing for no apparent reason when the phone is on, e.g. no sms, emails, missed calls etc. Does anyone know what that indicates? I know you've said it means about entering recovery when booting, but this is when the phone is fully booted. Cheers

Recovery help.

I rooted my phone with the tool kit but cant get it to install the custom recovery. Is there something im missing?

You may have selected the option to just flash the insecure boot image + root + install busybox. You can go back and flash just the recovery or flash it using Goomanager from the Play Store

Thats what someone else told me but that didnt work either.

I don't suppose you would care to elaborate?
Okay, i went through the toolkit and tried the all in one. It went through for the root and everything seemed good. Then it said to do the recovery through ODIN which I did but everytime i boot into recovery, it's the stock recovery.
Oh. Go into recovery before the phone has a chance to reboot.
I got it finally. I restored the phone then tried it again and it worked fine. Thank you all.

After rooting the device, did you install a custom recovery? you can download goo manager in the play store and install TWRP recovery and reboot to it. If you already have the recovery installed and cant boot to the recovery then use adb to reboot it. Or another way is download terminal emulator and reboot using command lines from you for...only if you have root.
are you on stock or non stock recovery .. And to get into download mode . As far as i know from a off state hold down vol down and power button . to get into down load mode and its vol up to recovery ..
Not tried on my note but its how it goes on the note 10.1 tablet and other samsung devices i have had

Negative, only stuff I installed after the root was superSU and titanium backup.. both of the paid versions. .. When I power up holding vol+ Home Power instead of any upload option I just get the following
Reboot sys now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Tried wipe data/factory reset to clear the root mod (multi-csc), but basically just wiped my phone of everything else except the root, lol, so at that point I figured I should ask for help..
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
that is the stock recovery. You need to get root again since u factory reset it. Once u get superSU go to play store and download goo manager to install TWRP or if you prefer CWR then install rom manager.

You don't have to reroot after a factory reset, these aren't iphones (unless you just mean download supersu again) But everything else is correct

goo manager is to install TWRP recover. Open it up and and press the menu button and you see the option to install TWRP recovery.

copy your desired rom to the SDcard or internal storage and the open goo manager up again and choose reboot to recovery.

reboot again and hold vol up home and power until samsung appears then let go of power, but still hold home and vol up until recovery comes up. from there you can select to install zip ,which would be your rom. make sure to do a clean install (factory data wipe, wipe cache) Then use the instructions the op has up from where you downloaded the rom. should be good to go.

I'll tackle that when I get home from work in an hour and have a computer to post on, just in case. Xda is blocked here at work ...damn government firewalls:thumbdown: Do I still keep the rom zipped when I transfer it to the phone if I'm using goo manager as compared to Odin. ..?

Install Flashify and flash TWRP Recovery. With that you do not need the home button.

Or flash CWM touch with Odin (can you boot into Odin Mode?) or with terminal emulator. So you doesn't need the home button too.
How to do it with, terminal emulator?

Why so complicated if you can do this with Flashify too?
Simply install Flashify from the Play Store. Flash your favorite touch recovery and you are done. No need for Odin or any commands in Terminal Emulator.

Just in case here the link to Flashify.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349847
It´s quite easy and self explenatory. Working well on our device. Used it to flash CWM and TWRP Recovery forth and back. You can also use it to flash Kernels, ROMs, whipe cache, Dalvik and so on. It will autoreboot into your recovery (be it CWM or TWRP) and execute the operations. So really way easier than dealing with Odin or command line instructions in Terminal.

Which one did you try to flash? the img or the md5 tar file? I used the img and this worked great.
Edit: I now see why it didn´t work. You are using stock GB ROM which probably even isn´t rooted and that´s why flasify isn´t working for you. So yes you have to use one of the other two in this case.

Yes, but Flashify requires ICS or newer to work correctly. Works best with any CyanogenMod ROM as this also supports custom recoveries like CWM and TWRP.

Booting into recovery

For some reason, I can no longer boot into recover when using the power/vol up buttons. Can I re flash a recovery to fix or use an app every time I want to get into recovery?

Yes, you can use apps like Goo Manager and ROM Manager for these functions. Also, Cyanogenmod 11 has a setting in Developer Options to allow reboot to recovery from the power menu.

As JHall8 stated, you can use ROM Manager for this. Or, Gravity Box has an advanced power menu option that will allow you to reboot into recovery as well. It works perfectly.
