Hello all,
Who would I talk to about getting the stock takju/IMM76I image currently available from Google under ROM Manager and Goo Manager? I would feel better seeing it up there, being able to flash back to stock in a few clicks.
Thanks!
If you're going back to stock, you won't be using ROM manager anyways.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju
Download. Flash with Fastboot. You'll actually get back to stock. And you can do it all yourself without asking someone else to do it for you...
Hello,
Thanks for replying. I already have the takju IMM76I image downloaded. I am assuming I can do this using adb if I need to in the future? I just ask as I have always reverted to stock ROM/bootloader through ROM Manager when I used my Nexus S. (They had a section for stock images on there) The only issue with your suggested method though is what if you're not near a computer with adb?

Use Fastboot to flash with command line (windows) / Terminal (osx). Requires computer.

I'll package up the zip for you and post it here later (maybe not today). All you'll have to do is drop the boot and system images into the zip.

I really appreciate that. However, can we get it up on ROM Manager and Goo Manager so it benefits the whole development community? I don't want this just for me. I figured everyone should benefit. I can also do it myself if I'm given a link/how-to.

I have no idea about how to get anything on ROM Manager (I don't use it at all) or Goo Manager (I've never heard of it).
Try the attached file. (Read notes before trying.)
It is essentially a script that will flash a boot image and a system image to your device. The boot image must be named boot.img and the system image must be named system.img. Both images must be in the root of the zip (and make sure they are compatible!). Use 7-zip to add whichever boot and system image you want to be able to flash it in CWM.
Notes:
1) I have not tried this, so someone will have to test it out. There shouldn't be any issues though. If there are, let me know and I'll sort them out.
2) As always, nandroid before flashing anything.
3) A wipe is recommended. Not sure if not wiping will cause any issues.
I have combed through the entire thread (☼[ROM] Frankenstein's Ego 4.5 (FE16 ICS)(S Voice Patch)☼ 5/21/2012) and i did NOT find my answer, in fact, i saw two posts discussing something similar, but it didn't seem to help my situation at all.
Anywho. I am LOVING this ROM, but I seem to have lost CWM? I rooted, flashed CWM, then i bought Mobile Odin to flash the EL26_StockCWM Kernel, did that successfully. I then watched QBKing77's video to install Ego (PS - i watch his videos EVERY TIME i'm doing something to my phone, they are AMAZING.) And ta da! I'm running the rom
But then I wanted to put the Rapps on and the S_Voice_Patch_v4, and I couldn't find anywhere in that thread on WHEN i'm supposed to do this (yes, as i said, i combed through the thread) so I thought, well let's flash through CWM. But I don't HAVE CWM anymore. Now I have Android system recovery? When I try to install zip from there, it errors out because of signatures. So what should I do? Should I flash back the EL26 Stock Kernel, flash the two patches, and then flash the FE16 kernel?
I'm so lost, please be kind!
I'm pretty syre I put this in the thread before but no worries we're here to help.
1. ODIN/mobile ODIN el26 w/CWM
2. Flash ROM in CWM
3. Flash Rapps
4. Flash S-voice Patch
5. Reboot and enjoy
All you have to do now though since you flashed the ROM is:
1. DL the FE16 + Kernel (Or whatever kernel you prefer)
2. ODIN/mobil ODIN el26 CWM
3. Flash Rapps
4. Flash s-voice patch
5. Flash kernel
6. Reboot and enjoy
You will always lose CWM on all ICS Kernels as I do not know of any that contain CWM. I know there is an ACS kernel out there with there recovery but that's it, no CWM. I hope this helps

Yea, you have to re-flash EL26 kernel then flash what you want then reflash the FE16 or 20 kernel and then reboot
CWM won't work most proper till we have kernel source

ok one more question - the repacked kernel on the Frankenstein post is a .zip file, so Mobile Odin doesn't pull it. Is there something I should do with that file or should I just pull a kernel from this thread? [KERNELS][CWM][ODIN] Kernel Repository - Download Them All Here

Flash that after you patch up everything in CWM then reboot don't worry about unzipping it
Okay, so I tried to Mobile Odin the EL26 Stock CWM and it said it flashed, but then it didn't reboot. I was going through the Odin thread where someone else had this problem, so they force stopped the app and rebooted manually, and it worked. Well, i did that, and now I'm stuck on the Samsung Galaxy boot up screen. I pulled the battery, and put it into recovery mode, and there was CWM, but it wouldn't install the files (said they were bad). tried to restart the phone again, and back to the Samsung Galaxy screen.
Did i f*** it all up?!

your probably either going to have to odin from pc, or redownload the rom/kernel files to your sd card and flash from sd thru cwm if it says the files are bad. What is the exact error cwm is giving you? as long as you make sure you are using el26 cwm to flash ics roms you will be fine and wont brick.

Well I'm already on the ICS rom. i was trying to load the patches (S Voice and Rapps). it says:
E:Can't open /sdcard/Rapps_RemovedAppsV4.zip (bad)
But the other issue is that my phone is stuck in the bootloop of the Samsung Galaxy screen. So even tho I'm on CWM right now, nothing else is working.
Sounds like bad downloads of the files getting that error in CWM. For some reason FE16 does not reboot when Mobile odin is run so for future reference just flash it and manually reboot into CWM. If both of you have CWM you are still good, just flash the FE16 Kernel and should boot back to ROM and you can retry after redownloading the files. If you cannot get to CWM you might have to PC Odin. Sorry this didn't work for you guys. hopefully we can get you up and running.

hey guys
let me start off by saying i am a noob to this site and android in general , ive learnt a lot from my galaxy s2 .
now i got the s3 , ive rooted it .. however i tried to upgrade to 4.1 awhile back . kept getting error .
anyways i want to upgrade to jellybean im sick of waiting like everyone else.
cm10 seems like a good rom , ive read a lot on this forum, could some one tell me what the first step is do i flash cwm first on the rogers stock or do i have to put ATT stock on it
thanks
cheers
Hi!
Welcome to the site! You'll really love the community here!
Here are some simple instructions I found for you: http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...elly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-preview-104742/
Just make sure you download the latest CWM from here (6.0.1.2 currently): http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att.img
And flash it to your device.
Then follow those steps, wipe/format data partition, as it says there. CAREFUL make sure you download the latest CyanogenMod version from here too, the top one on the list is always newest, latest version came out today actually: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Let me know how it goes and if you're enjoying it! Tried leaked version of JB on my S3 with Telus in Canada and didn't like the bugs in there...so let me know if the 'CM Finishing Touch' on there is really better than stock!

thanks man. i will give it a try soon and let you know..

Yup! Start off with CWM Recovery flash, when that's done, transfer file to device (internal sd card) and from the ROGERS stock rom you can do the apply update from zip option in CWM.

If you get the SGS3 All-in-one toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 , you can install CWM from it just make sure you have drivers installed, it can help you with that if you don't have them, and enable USB Debugging.
If that doesn't work, which I think it should, try to use this link a bit. Download the version they have it should be pretty recent.

Quick question, I flashed CWM recovery using the terminal, and I see it when I boot into recovery, but when I go to ROM Manager to flash CM10, it says to flash CWM Recovery, and won't let me access the list. I would've flashed CWM from ROM Manager, but the S3 wasn't on the list of devices. Is there anyway to get around this?

Hi there!
Basically you must first but the CWM ZIP file on your internal sdcard then boot into CWM, from there go to install zip file or something like that, then select from SD Card, find the zip, you're done!
Don't forget to do a factory reset through CWM before the CM10 update and maybe after too.
Let me how it goes,
Michael
Never liked CWM, I personally love TWRP as a recovery. Go to the app store and download GooManager.

Hi,
CWM = CWM Recovery; same thing just shorter .
The ZIP file for your rogers phone can be found here: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Click the one at the top of the list as it is the newest.
Don't worry about the ROM because worst case scenario if you want to downgrade to stock, you can re-download it online and re-root.
For the apps, it depends where your backups are, usually, in TitBak, the backups are stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup which will be safe as formatting to factory settings and data partition in CWM doesn't format the internal or external SD Card. But I am not responsable if it does so be careful!

That would be with Odin you would redownload the Stock ROM for Rogers and then flash it. To reset counter, you can download the app TriangleAway for free from the Play Store and with root, it resets the counter. Then you can unroot.

You'll also need to install the d2att recovery for your phone. Our telus phones have d2can in the build prop and can make flashing a pain.

I had a boot loop though, so I had to re-clear my data and cache then flash 10.1 again and now all is well. Restoring my backups now.

Our Telus phone is a d2can build. The at&t model is d2att. The phones are identical, because the majority of the roms are made for the d2att it's a lot easier for us Canadians to flash that recovery.
The recovery is either clock work mod or twrp made for the d2att.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
d2att is the at&t variant of the S3. Having a d2att based recovery installed will allow you to successfully flash the at&t ROMs.
If you're still getting an error, You may have to edit your build.prop. Or, possibly Odin flash the cwm recovery in the root from recovery method found in the general section. You would then update the recovery with the cwm zip in my signature link.
I am currently on 10.1 without any issues, flashing was easy, do I still need to flash the d2att recovery?
You hadn't specified that you got it installed correctly. In that case, just stay put and enjoy your phone. Cheers, buddy!
I am trying to flash the SuperNexus 3.0 ROM to my D710 E4GT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208729
I downloaded the file and tried to open it in the PDA tab of ODIN like I normally would when flashing a device.
There isn't a TAR or MD5 file to open inside of the ZIP file.
I know that I'm missing something and I've searched around but I haven't found anything that points me in the correct direction.
Could somebody point me to what I am missing? Is there a tutorial for installing ROMS from a ZIP that I missed?

Thanks for the reply I'll check the page out that you posted.
I am a total noob. I've crept the forums and used Odin to flash a lot.
I guess, I'm surprised by the .zip comment. Not because I know anything about anything (By now this should be obvious) but because when you look at a tutorial on flashing your phone, it always points at using odin.
It's one thing to root your phone with Odin and another to flash a custom Rom. All the custom roms are zip files and in the original post of the threads they tell you exactly the best way to flash the Rom.

Yeah the instructions in that thread are not noob friendly. I hope the sticky can help you out. Use the el26 or el29 kernel packed with clockwork mod available in the kernel repo. You can find it in the Android development forum at the top. Use that kernel and recovery combo to safely flash any rom. Also going to jb you need to do an Odin rooted restore of a stock jb Rom in order to partition everything correctly. You'll be able to find this in Android development too. Sorry I can't provide much links im on my phone at work so it'll take me a bit to link.

So I went to the Kernel Download Page and all of the links to el26 with CWM were dead.
I dug around some more and found this:

I went with Chris41g's EL26 Stock CWM5 Repack
It looked like what I needed to root with recovery so that I could install the SuperNexus ROM.
Now, my phone has been stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II screen with the yellow triangle for a half an hour.
Did I miss something else?

Pull your battery, put it back in, hold the vol up and power until it loads up in recovery. Clean cache, then clean Dalvic cache(in Advanced Menu), Find the zip you want on your sd card install zip. It should boot into your new rom. The CWM repack you used is not the one I would have, but it probably is just the repack kernal and cant boot your phone.

Sweet! I'm figuring some things out now!
I actually had GB on the device. I got it from the factory yesterday. Apparently it had a higher OS on it. So I had to go put a GB kernel on it.
I couldn't find the one with CWM but this one has AGAT

once you get the phone set up, get Mobile Odin and keep this .tar files on your sd card. If I Mobile Odin back to this .tar then I can get a clean install on any new rom. this is the name of the file you are looking for, we have been requested not to provide direct links
StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5
If you phone boot loops again have thie zip as well. Pull batt, then press vol up and power to get to CWM recovery then clean and flash
EL26_StockCWM.zip
As you will see when you get more experienced, there is more than one way to skin the cat. This is what I do and it works every time.

That's great! Thank you!
I picked up the Stock EL26 loads.
To make sure I understand when you say that you can get a clean install on any new rom, you mean that you can install StockCWM-EL26 first and then throw the ROM on and it works right?
Also as a note, I have gotten the SuperNexus ROM running on my machine. I don't have 3G data yet. I'm still working on it. I installed the latest ICS modem and changed the xml file that was suggested. I then updated the permissions on the file to what the other files in the directory had and rebooted. Still nothing... I'm not sure if this is your wheel-house and you've already helped me tremendously! I'm digging around trying to find answers.
(I can't post on the SuperNexus dev forum yet. I'm going to look for a support forum or something to post on.)

First - Yes, when I want to change roms, I use mobile odin to flash the .tar EL26 CWM kernal. Pull Batt if needed and then Vol up and power to get to CWM. Then I follow the ROM developer's instructions. reboot and almost always get a good clean install.
Second - I use my phone all day for work so I dont mess with the AOSP Roms much. I like them a lot, but I cant have data/connection issues interfere with my lively-hood so I mostly stay on the TW side of things. Cant help you there, sorry...

In this step for SN, what rom did you get the xml from? "NAVIGATE TO system/etc and look for apns-conf.XML and delete it. Then grab one from another ROM that has working data then paste it into the same directory and fix permissions and reboot".
That might be the issue. You need to make sure that a) you have an ICS modem(FL24) is the latest, and make sure you're not flashing it through mobile Odin, it won't take, and b) you have a working apn-conf.xml file from a rom with working data. Dastin15's Wild For The Night is also 4.2.2, and last I checked, had working data. Might give that a go. Good luck!
