hello guys, greetings from indonesia!
I have a questions here :
I installed custom ROM from LorD ClockaN (IceColdSandwich), then I think I Installed wrong the custom ROM, and I try to re-Install the ROM (IceColdSandwich).
The Problem appears here. when I already installed the custom ROM, I get my device screen "white background with HTC logo", and cant do anything about it. I try to hard-reset (unplug the battery), and I go to recovery, my device screen show "triangle with sign orders in device" logo. Then I push Up+Power, I try to install update.zip (which is IceColdSandwich),
and I got :
Installing /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-03_29_2012.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Disable signature verification in your recovery, wipe all partitions and reflash firmware, if it doesn't work, redownload it and try again with every wipe(don't forget about them)

when I go to recovery, the "triangle with sign in device" logo appears, This always happens when I go to recovery mode. And I cant see "disable signature verification".
Available Option in this Recovery is :
Reboot system now

That is the stock recovery...you won´t be able to flash a custom rom from there. Check is you are S-OFF or it won´t work.

Ok, I am sending you a PM.
Try this software it is what i have used 4 times not to put on the right recovery mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821 works great
I have the Galaxy S III SGH-i747m model on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROM on the Canadian Rogers network. (I live in BC)
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to install a custom ROM. I have rooted and installed Super User, and have flashed the TWRP Recovery ROM v2.4.1.0 I still have the stock kernel and haven't mucked around in the permissions besides installing SuperUser SU app from Google Play store. Right now, I have managed to wipe out my entire internal storage. I have everything backed up on the google server, so I'm not too worried, but I have no OS right now. Regardless, I have tried many times with many different custom ROMs, and everytime I get a Status 7 error and a failed ROM flash. I have been trying for weeks to find out what I'm doing wrong, but can't seem to find anything that works. Can anyone please help me out with a step by step guide to install a custom rom? Heck, even to re-install my stock ROM would be better than nothing at this point. The last guide I tried to follow was Cyanogenmod 10.1. The file was called Liquid Smooth.
I currently have the ROM file and the gapps pakage on my external SD card, but, everytime I try to install it I get that Status 7 error.
Thanks in advance.

did you just wipe data/factory reset or did you also format /system?
you're getting the status 7 error because you arent using the latest recovery version. hit me back

make sure you have the correct ROM and gapps (compatible with your model). then i would try a different recovery.
you could download this flashable clockworkmod recovery zip and place it on your external sd card: http://d-h.st/8qP
it's not a touch version. you'll have to use the vol up and vol down buttons to navigate and the power button the select.
in twrp, mount external sd and then flash the CWM recovery like you would a rom. reboot into recovery.
make sure the external sd is still mounted and flash ROM & gapps twice. reboot

I can't seem to do anything now. Did I brick my phone?
Can you not get into recovery any more? If you can why dont you post the links for the rom you are trying to install and we can tell you if its the right one. Also do you have a external SD card to put the ROM and Gapps on

he has the rom and gapps on the external already.
if you can get into download mode, i'd try restoring via odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware
1. Extract contents of the zip/rar archives
2. Wipe data-factory reset/cache/dalvik-cache
3. Plug phone into PC
4. Place the phone in Download Mode (vol dwn + home + power). Press volume up when prompted
5. Open Odin and ensure the COM box is highlighted, detecting your device
6. Uncheck the Auto Reboot option
7. In the PDA box, select the .tar.md5 file you downloaded
8. Flash the file by hitting Start
9. Once you get a Success message, pull the battery and then replace. Immediately go into recovery (vol up + home + power. release power button at Galaxy S3 logo and/or vibrate).
10. Select Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache. Reboot
you can then do some research and decide what files/procedures you want to try if you wish to root again and flash custom firmware
Thanks for the help guys. I am attempting to restore my phone right now. Will let you know how it went.
OK! Up and running! And I have it rooted with the latest TWRP recovery image installed. Now I just need to find a good custom ROM. Thanks againg guys!
Hey guys I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2235366
I used a file called "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar"
Everything goes well and I get a green pass from oden3, the phone reboots. But superSU is not installed and when I check "Root checker" there is no root....
I have 4.1.2
Thoughts?
Just download superuser and simply place it on your phones SD card it's really easy

Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.
I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js

It wouldnt brick the phone but if you are seeing the red android then i was mistaken about what your issue is so disregard. Is your phone new? I bet the issue is related to one others are having where recovery cant mount partitions. To confirm that try this. Download this and place on pc http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/AUTOBOOT_RECOVERY/SPH-L710_TWRP_AUTOBOOT.exe
Its a odin one click that will autoboot you to twrp recovery just open it and click start with your phone connected in download mode.
Download this and place on your sd card. (preferably external)

If you can successfully flash that zip, it will root the phone.

You want to press install then hit "up a level" until youre in the root "/" directory. Then choose "external_sdcard" then tap "root.zip" and swipe to confirm at the bottom.

It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.
But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.

The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.
Somebody help! after I root my tab 3, and I back up my files using TWRP Recovery, I did wiped data after that I shutdown the tablet and a message appear that says I have no OS and my device is not rooted "do you want to install superSU? I choose do not install and it shutdown, and when Im turning it on it always stuck at SAMSUNG TAB 3 logo when I do TWRP Recovery and check restore, there is nothing on it

When I booted in recovery. It asked for password {( I tried to enter my default password but it didn't worked)}
I even tried to reboot my phone but it got stuck on boot logo...
FIX---- 1) Skip the password step
2) Then wipe data.

The only problem for which i am concerned is the bootloop as i have watched many you tube videos but when i go in comment section there are lot of problems faced by people. Please give link to the tutorial you used to flash TWRP and rooted phone without problem.
Please
you can install "lazyflasher" after doing the root to start normally. I had the same problem and with this it was solved. I installed everything from the SD and my device is a Redmi 5 plus.

How is "lazyflasher", you can explain
the only solution is install another recovery such as redwolf for sure
Use red wolf recovery, it also supports incremental OTA update. Also built in magisk or supersu root. No need of lazy flasher.

Don´t confuse Wipe data with Format data.
Wiping data you will delete all the data from the apps. all the settings such as wifi, hotspot, brightness, location, language, keyboard preferences, etc and all the apps that you (the user) installed after to reboot to system.
Formatting data you will lost also all the folders and all the files in your internal memory such as music, pictures, etc., some of those folder needed for android to work will be created again while device is rebooting but your personal files will gone
You don´t need to lost everything just to install TWRP. Are you going to unlock bootloader or already did it?
