Hi all,
I am new to android as my personal device, but I am familiar with the OS. I am pretty tech-savvy. However, I just rooted my I-747, and no matter how hard I try I cannot flash custom roms through CWM. Keep in mind both ROMS I have tried are CM9 and 10, 10 ending in a status 7 error. 9 might have as well, but I am not sure. I just know that it was aborted. Any help here, I am not sure what is going on? Any advice would be appreciated.
Are you using the correct CWM recovery? I am downloaded rom manager and installed cwm from there, have had no issues with installing either of those roms. Don't forget to do your wipes before you install a new rom!
Hmmm that may be the issue. I rooted without tripping the flash counter and then had to use adb to get cwm working. Is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it from Rom manager?

You can always try TWRP out as well.
Just push it to the phone via ADB or use a terminal app on the phone.
I like it more than CWM. :good:

Hey codycorexxx.... quick question on that. I have twrp as well...might sound silly...will it restore a CWM backup? I made a copy of my nanorid backup to the twrp folder. It shows up under the restore option when IN that recovery...just wanting to make sure should I need to use that backup....twrp won't have a problem flashing it.

Backups were glitchy for me on cwm. I switched to TWRP and there's no looking back for me.
Im going to try twrp and see how it works. Thanks
I'm on cwm and backups have been fine. Why don't you redownload cwm and make sure you rwflash your appropriate recovery. I've NEVER had problems with cwm unless I messed with the folder or something.

Another vote to just switch to twrp. It is superior in every way.

Nothing against twrp but what's the point of troubleshooting if you're not going g to troubleshoot? If someone really likes a particular recovery why not help them get it working instead of making the decision for them?

To add another option; did you make your backup to .tar format? That was my issue when I first rooted my phone, couldn't restore anything, kinda panicked...

So i have Clockwork recovery and want to install Twrp and everything i read says to use goomanager, I just want to make sure i won't brick or mess anything up using it since it seems to easy to be true. also will my previous backups on clockwork be lost, i kind of figure they would but just want to know just in case something goes wrong. thanks for the help.
Yes your cwm backups won't work with twrp. Although as long as you don't delete them you can always go back to cwm if need be.

Can we install custom ROMS using Goomanager?
Are there any specific steps to follow if i install ROM using Goomanager.
What's so hard about rebooting to recovery directly from the os and then flashing the ROM?

I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S III I747M through Bell, but am a bit lost with ROM flashing. I flashed to new ROM's quite frequently on my old Motorola Milestone, but I am a bit confused with the ROM's for the S III since there are so many variants.
My main question is, as a Bell user am I limited to only d2bell roms or can I change information in the build props or elsewhere to flash d2att roms? I am currently running rooted CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 and my have been unsuccessful so far in flashing ROMs.

I rooted using this tutorial and afterwords cwm recognized my phone as d2att and have had zero problems flashing any ROMs.
I'm on Telus BTW so I know what its like crossing beyond the d2can label

I had the same problem but prefer twrp over cwm so all I did was change my build.prop in rom toolbox, then downloaded goo.im from the playstore. You can flash twrp in app and because I changed the build.prop to say dtatt instead of d2can,it installed the at&t recovery, now I have no problem flashing anything. Hope that helps.

i initially got twrp via goo w/o chaning d2can to d2att. I've made backups etc already.
If i decide to change to d2att and resintall twrp as d2att
1) can I use the older d2can backups?
2) does reinstalling it on top of d2can's twrp work?
thanks!
Twrp it is. So KoryGuy123, when you rooted your Telus S III you used the AT&T root on Odin?

Does changing from a d2can to d1att version of twrp work the same way? I can just flash on top of the existing wihtout any uninstalls and im assuming the d2att can still load d2can backups?
I know twrp are backward compatible, but are they cross version compatible?

I honestly have no idea. I know twrp update through goo manager is automatic so you would have to manually install it.
If you flash that recovery file it only changes your version of cwr.

If you are running clockworkmod recovery, go into rom manager, select update recovery, and chose d2att instead of d2can

In that video is a Odin flashable file... That's cwm, it'll overwrite twrp than you download ROM manager and update cwm. After that you can reinstall twrp and it'll be for d2att

Hey guys, I just picked up a new Galaxy S3 this morning and I'm not sure how to install a custom AOKP rom.
I've already rooted the phone, but because the firmware is 4.1.1 I'm unsure how to proceed.
Should I just install the latest AOKP rom version, or do I need to upgrade to a newer firmware while still using stock and go from there?

Should be in the q&a threads...
You'll need to install a custom recovery (twrp or cwm)
Than you can flash any ROM you want. If you want Tasks aokp just download the newest version and most recent gapps and flash as instructed in the thread.

I believe the rom I used to root my phone also installed CWM, so I should be good to go as soon as I finish downloading AOKP and gapps.

Make sure you have the latest version of cwm. They're at 6.0.2.3 if your recovery isn't at that than the flash won't work properly.

It's not really an issue, I just tend to be somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to boot logos and animations.
Either way, I don't know much about compiling kernels. And the consensus seems to be that your kernel is pretty good, so I'm gonna stick with it.
Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate your work on the rom. Cheers!

You do realize that in your last thread you was told to give more info and yet you post another with the same thing. What boot loader? What kernel? What have you done so far? Are you rooted? Did you upgrade to 4.4 and then try to downgrade to 4.3? More information of the few guys who do help are just gonna ignore you.

TWRP's website specifically says that goo doesn't work with the Note 3. Download the 2.7 recovery and push it with odin.

"Goo manager has been removed due to incompatibility issues with bootloader. Please install by one of the next 3 methods."
