thanks cihkey007 !
I've never tried ROM Manager because, coming from the Optimus V, I know it has caused a lot of semi-bricked phones. I decided to try it for this and it was fast and painless. I now have CWM 5.0.2.7
Just wondering, why isn't there a link for 5.0.2.7 in one of the stickies? Or did I just miss it?
You should try sk8erwitskils recovery. It is a more stable version of touch with swype gestures, volume key support, soft key support, virtual keys, AND it is open source.

Thanks, I was reading through that thread this morning but I wasn't sure how stable it was. I haven't had my S2 long enough to learn how easy or difficult it is to recover from flashing a wrong or bad recovery. I know it was a large PITA on the Optimus V.
Hi Guys,
i have a quick question, i installed rom maneger too see and when i tryed to see what roms were available it asked me to install the cwm recovery.
question is:
is it save to install the recovery true rom maneger? have anybody done it on the et4g?
can we use rom maneger at all with our phone?
It has been highly suggested by many well known devs that you should NOT use this app.
The CWM it wants to install is designed for a phone with a recovery partition which our phone does not have.
You will most likely brick your phone and would be better off dropping it in a toilet.
Thanks for the reply guys, i appreciated.
hello everyone this is my first time asking a question on here so forgive if i got this in the wrong section.
i was wondering if you all could tell me how to "uninstall" cyanogenmod 10 off my samsung epic, but without unrooting.
i like cyanogenmod but i have to get it off because i cant change phone lines within my account because in order to put service back on my phone sprint wants me to dial ##somenumbers# and a menu is suppose to pop up but it doesnt and i think i read somewhere around here that you dial those "codes" in the dialer because they wont work.
soo I followed qbkings method to root my phone. youtube title = how to root the samsung epic on FC09
then i installed cyanogenmod10 using his method again
I did this to two samsung epics since i have two samsung epics at my disposal and i would follow qbkings method of unrooting
but i tried that on of the epics but odin failed and it got completly bricked and I mean hard bricked. so i am extremly fearful of even attempting qbkings unrooting method since i completly bricked one of the epics trying to unroot it.
and i was thinking that since i followed qbkings method i just need to go to recovery mode after turning off the phone and then clear everything data and cache.
and then do the install zip from sd card and just install the deodexedFC09 zip file that i previously put on the card when i was rooting my phone.
and then that would be it but i am extremly fearful of messing with the phone like that because i really dont want to brick my phone so i come to you all today for your help on this because i am new to rooting and flashing roms on my phone so i didnt really know whereelse to ask.
Ive tried looking for help on the forums and the web but i did not find nothing so i just rather ask then ...
You can buy a jig for like $1-2 to jump the bricked one back in dl mode then flash full stock, as for the other, there is a boot from sdcard rom that will enable you to activate your phone without uninstalling cm10

Also, you can just flash a tw mtd rom to get those dialer codes woring... just flash TPR (the peoples rom) after backing up cm10... flash tpr, boot it, call sprint, do your thing, restore backup of cm10... all done...
alright ill try that but can you tell how to flash the peoples rom? or anyother rom for that matter.
i assume that i boot into recovery mode and clear everything and install from sdcard and look for the zip of the rom? im not sure if thats how to do it? if not can you explain to me how?

That's exactly right. Remember to wipe data in cwm. Use titanium backup to back up any 3rd party apps and data you need first.

do you have a link to where i can download the rom?
All ROMs are in the development subforum:

alright thanks man hopefully everything goes well.
i download the mtd one right ? since i have cyanogenmod 10
alright just to be clear
1st i download the peoples rom on my pc and transfer it to the sd card.
then 2nd I boot into recovery and click on backup ? correct
3rd after that is done i wipe data and factory reset?
4th I wipe cache partition
5th go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache?
6th install zip from sd card and look for the peoples rom and install that right?
this would be how to install the peoples rom if i have cyanogenmod 10?

Awesome your good to go... call sprint and set things up and then you can restore your backup of cm10 and all will be riight with the world...
do i flash back to cm10 the same way i just flashed the peoples rom??

You can, but its probably easier to just restore the back up you made in cwm before flashing the peoples rom...
how would i restore it ? i did make a backup of cm10..

Boot into recovery, go to backup and restore, press restore, press on the backup you just made (the name will be the date). And press restorre... once you boot into recovery, its pretty self-explanitory from there on out...
alright man thanks alot to all of yall who replied i really appreciated it. i will post back on here on the status of me with sprint and flashing cm10 back.
alright i tried to activate my phone online with sprint but it wouldnt work so i called customer service and phone is up and running with service.
once again thank you very much everyone

I had this issue back when I had my original Evo. I just flashed it back to a stock rooted Sense ROM and it worked. If it is a stock TW ROM (The Peoples Rom is), then all Sprint codes will work.
Hi,
just got my new Tab3 7" before Weekend. Want to root it and install a custom now.
Before that i surely have to install a new recovery. So by now there are TWRP or CWM Recovery. Are there any major differences, advantages or any other important things to know about? Didnt use one of them by now on any device.
Which one should one use?
Thx in advance!
YWRP vs CWM

I recommend you to google " TWRP vs Clockworkmod". At least the droidiser website gave me a general idea what this is about.
I will use CWM because I already used it on my HTC evo 3D and the CWM thread in the sgt 3 community looks much more lively .
PS: seems for me that the TWRP got an easier interface

I would suggest twrp. The latest cwm for me has some issues like I after flashing I still got stock recovery and when I finally got cwm I have nabigation issues. I use twrp with nice interface and no issues as of now
Sent from my SM-T210R using xda app-developers app
Due to switching back to stock rom (for now) i tried twrp now (before i got cwm).
Have to say i will stay at twrp for now as cwm had strange display problems (text got visible/got refreshed only after swiping the display, wrong entrys got selected,...)
twrp works flawlessly and cant get a single reason y not to use it.
Hello. I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - T210 and i think i really screwed it up. I did not make any backup, that was mistake NR one.
I got clock work mode up and running but i cant install any ROM, have tried The original Firmware, RocketTab, Cyanogenmod and cant pass the installation process and i think i cant turn back cause i got no backup and no way to install it again.
When i run any of these ROMs i get this error :
format() expects 4 args, got 5

No matter what i do, im a a bit scared know cause i think i am really close on destroying the tablet.
Can any one help me ? give me tips ?
CWM that i am running is : T210_CWM.6.0.4.7.recovery that i downloaded frome the XDA forum.
A,
panic solves nothing.
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/
when in doubt choose the most recent. zip or tar for odin.
for a rom i suggest svelte to get things straight.
then go from there.

Thank you for a quick answer, so i should change out CWM for Philz Touch ?
What is "Svelte" ? have no clue what that means.
What to have 110% solid answer before i go wreck some thing more.
Ah, of course.

svelte rom thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722582
great rom, minimal issues. philz advanced recovery is cwm with a good touch interface and more and very helpful options.
So yes, switch. All else is almost always solveable as long as your recovery is solid.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
But the thing is that the problem is the installation process, it does not matter what ROM i use i get still the same error.
And for the Philz Touch could you copy the name of the link that i should download, they all look the same and way more links that i am used to.

The reason you can't install any rom is because you do not have the latest version of CWM installed. You should always install the newest version when you install any recovery.
The newer roms are using an updater-script that will not work on CWM 6.0.4.7. Install an updated recovery and then install the rom that you want.

To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/philz_touch_6.44.9-lt02wifi.zip
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Without a backup, you will lose your data and files. But you can restore, since you can download the firmware from SamMobile.

6.0.4.9 is the latest.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12949
Choose the one with "flashable" in the name and then flash it using your current CWM recovery; then reboot recovery.

good to hear you got it sorted. CM just isn't happening yet. just watch the forum like a hawk like everyone else is...:cyclops:
If your worried about destroying your tab you prolly shouldn't have come to mod it.I know sounds like a douche bag thing to say but even putting on the flash or roms that go with the tab can destroy your tab if done improperly or even if they glitched while flash which does happen or even worse power outage when flashing.

Nono it is okey to say something like this, but the thing is i like to learn this stuff, took me about 3 days to learn how to flash a BIOS on a computer but when i got the hang of it i learned it.
I am scared of destroying the tablet but how else would i learn ? cause reading does not always help But i got it back up again. And i knew when to ask for help.
But the RocketTab looks to work well at least for know, but would love CM mod couse i have it on my S4 and when and with the RocketTab i only get android version 4.1.2

Thank you for the fast help, the tablet is up and running, gone skip for know trying to use CM mod.
