Install CWM on new AT&T S3 - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Why does this never work the way its supposed to for me??
Anyway, so I just got my S3 and I hate the stock ROM already so I want to go to CM (9 maybe, 10 if it works well). I'm right now just trying to get Clockwork recovery installed and working and seem to be failing miserably. At first it seemed to be going ok, I downloaded Odin 3.04 and a recovery TAR that was on the Android Authority guide for the AT&T S3. I ran the install no problems, and booted into recovery without issue. I then tried installing CM10 and it gave and Status 7 assert failure.
After a lot of digging I finally found some people saying that it was because of an incorrect version of CWM, so I dug around till I found a 6.0.1.0 tar that says its for my phone. I install that and now I can't get into recovery at all. It will still boot into the stock rom but that's it. I saw some suggestions saying that unchecking auto reboot, and f. reset time would fix this so I did that and still nothing. I can't get into recovery at all. Is there a definitive (as in this still works) guide out there somewhere??

Ok so I found some CWM tars that they they're v.6+ that I can get installed (at least I assume so since Odin says it worked) but when I get in there the version listed at the top is 5.5.0.4, should this number not match? I haven't even gotten around to trying to get it to install CM10 yet.

I used rom manager to flash its recovery. No problems what so ever.

By Rom Manager you are talking about the App you use from within the OS? So would I need root for this?

Installed ROM manager....opened it and click install recovery. Done. Yes, you have to be rooted to use that app.

Need some help please.

I have installed the cwm with no problems using ODIN. I then transfered the SU zip file to my sdcard. I booted the phone into recovery mode, found the zip file and ran it. I rebooted the phone , superuser was there. I then downloaded titanium back up from the market and installed it, it gave me an error about not having the needed permissions. I then downloaded rootchecker to see if i was rooted and it responded with not rooted. So then I ran the cwm again, and did the zip again and still not rooted. So in my ultimate noobness i figured I'd do start from scratch again and did a factory reset. Of course the CWM was still there and superuser is still on the phone. Now when I try to power the phone off it locks on the goodbye screen. I thought I did alot of reading on the tutorials and what not before I gave this ago. Any suggestions or help would be greatfully appreciated.

can you turn the phone on at least to download mode? if so just Odin it back to factory.

just make sure you follow the steps for correct model. that's how i always start from scratch. afterwards reroot (which is also included on the site i posted) and install all your stuff. come back and get your prefered rom and voila. good luck
You need to make sure it's the right su file for your ROM version. ICS 4.03 uses 3.07.
Edit, originally thought you were talking about CM until I realized you were talking about CWM.

Sorry, I'm using Darkside Telus ICS not CM. I used su 3.07 to root.
I would assume each CM ROM has it's own gapps zip.
They are either baked in or you have to flash them separate. Usually its part of the thread if you have to or not and they will be included
Deff misread you post.. my bad.. my original response would have been still my solution. I would go back to complete stock and then reroot . Just one thing. If you already done that, did you fully factory reset from withing the phone. Maybe that could be the problem. Go to settings/ back up and reset/ factory reset. This will wipe everything that was previously installed. Make sure you do this after you unroot. And then start over from scratch. You should have no issue.

Seeing as these responses your getting have nothing to do with your question .. I have a suggestion. Since you have CWM have you thought of just flashing a stock already rooted rom?

[Q] Rogers GS3 ROM Questions...

Hello,
New to android... I have searched and searched and read in a LOT of threads trying to get Cyogenmod 10 working on my i747m on Rogers.
I have found many guides and have managed to root my phone and tried installing Cy10 but got an error 7. I read that this was because of the wrong recovery version. I was told to get ROM manager and update through there. For me, however, the GS3 doesn't show up in the options.
Could someone please link me the correct files that I need? I think I know the steps, but it seems that all the files have different versions and are not compatible.
I'm trying to be very careful and not brick my phone, so I am reluctant to try anything that I'm not sure will work... I think that's why this is difficult (Rogers = AT&T? or not?, etc.)
Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to take the time to help me.
I had the exact same problem as you and what I did was flash, if I remember, cm9 and go to ROM manager and then it would show me Samsung Galaxy s3(att).
You need to update your recovery I flashed the touch recovery from the toolkit and that worked for me

Do you remember which version of cm9? I tried that last night and I still got error 7, but maybe I used the wrong version. All I could find were nightlies, no stable ones for d2att (which is what I was told was our phone)

Error 7 is means you don't have the right requirements to start with.
If you are trying to flash bell 4.1.1 on your Rogers device running 4.0.4, you must first install bell stock 4.0.4 from Sammy site or else things like will throw error 7 during install.
Read CM10 requirements carefully...
I had the same problem. I just upgraded the CWM version to the latest one using this (its the same step, just make sure you download the right recovery):

Check your build prop for device name. Maybe its not correct because of the Rom you're on. Whats the error you're getting?
Did you ever get TWRP on your phone?
I've had goofy issues with TWRP but much prefer it to CWM. Originally rooted using CWM and SuperSu and switched to TWRP when I flashed CleanRom several times via Romtoolbox pro I've flashed updated Twrp it said it was successful but when it rebooted was soft bricked! Had to use Odin and original CWM to get back in and re-install everything (nandroids were twrp backups) found file downloaded to sdcard that worked fine! Odd...
How can you wipe out all installed recoveries and start fresh? Via adb? Like to wipe Everything n start fresh advice? Running TWRP 2.4X -==

If by "installed" you are referring to the recovery program itself (and not your backups), you can only have one recovery 'installed' at one time as there is only 1 "Recovery" partition on the device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9). So if you want to install CWM instead of your current TWRP (or visa-versa), either flash the appropriate new recovery zip via your current recovery... or Odin3 flash your desired new recovery tar. Either way, it will write to the same recovery partition. If you are referring to your backups... these are stored in the designated path you selected (either internal sd or external sd)... in the TWRP/BACKUPS folder. In that folder, you will have a device id #... in that folder are your backups.
Gotcha! Thanks the way it acted I wondered if there were "leftovers" in recovery partition or corrupt data. When I reflashed CWM or TWRP via ODIN it didn't say "Passed" instead "RESET" and I had to unplug phone and manually boot recovery which sometimes took a couple tries... Only boxes checked in Odin are reset time and reboot.

Which version of Odin3 are you using? When I used Odin3 v1.85 I would get the "PASSED" but with Odin3 v3.07, I also only got "RESET" (on an WindowsXP box)... but both flashed it correctly (and auto rebooted after flash)

Root Access Possibly Lost Fix Root?

I have my N7 on bone stock, rooted with superSU 1.60 installed. I flashed the .zip made by Chainfire, and no matter the recovery CWM non-touch , CWM, or TWRP after making a backup , I hit reboot system, and I get this message every time.
Root Access Possibly Lost Fix?
THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE
1. YES fix root (/system/xbin/su)
2. NO do not fix
I've selecting option 1 multiple times and I still get the same message after a backup ,and before rebooting!! Root access works fine on all my apps and everything else I'm just curious as to why I'm seeing this via any recovery thanks. I'm sure its silly and an easy fix.

I've done this, i disable auto-update, flashed the v1.55 in CWM and rebooted. Now i cant use SuperSU anymore? tells me i have to update binaries. And i know that if i do the "root access possbibly lost" error comes again? any solutions?
In settings there is an option for reinstall as seen in the pic below click that then reboot your device , then reboot to recovery flash version v1.55 and make sure you still have the auto update feature in the play store unchecked. See if that works.

Same issue on a Galaxy Nexus running 4.3 stock rooted... SU requires an update and then the recovery thinks root has been lost (this is not actually the case)... any ideas?
lost root and twrp
so i first discovered i lost root when it said no binary found then when i was going into twrp to reflash the zip all i get is a dead android on its back with a red triangle hovering over it. Went back into adb and flash recovery twrp.img and it says successful but i still get the same thing. any one know the correct thread to point me to? ive looked but cant find this problem. my device boots fine and i can get to the boot loader just not recovery.
Same thing happens with my Nexus 4, I always hit No because it says root may have been lost even if I just enter CWM without flashing any rom or doing any action but rebooting to system

Same message here...
I am running CM 10.2 with CWM Touch and SuperSUv1.86
Is this a big problem?
I think CWM should work just fine regardless of this message right?
If anyone has truly found a "recent" fix please let us know.
Oh i tried reinstalling CWM Touch and that did not fix the problem..
Thank you all for your time and assistance.
Same, CM10.2 cwm, SuperSU 1.86, S4 MINI, GT-I9195, never got this message with CM10.1.3, nor with any other 4.2 ROM. I think it's a 4.3 issue not just with CM, I tried 2 other 4.3.1 ROMs, they all said the same thing, yrs the device still works fine when selecting "yes fix root"
My concern is to WHY does this message appear?? And it's there a way to fix this permanently?

I figured that my device was okay, I mean root still worked just fine.
I bet it has to do with SELinux...
Thanks for the response. I also would love to find a way to fix this permanently. I just did a ROM backup with CWM Touch and I didn't have any issues so this just must be some warning message that doesn't affect anything. Was a bit scary though...
Hopefully someone will find a universal fix soon...

See, I did a rom backup also with rom manager, after the backup was complete the message still appears, it's more scary if your using a custom recovery because officially my device isn't on rom managers list of supported devices. Hopefully we can get a fix for this.
I'm sure we will it's only a matter of time I guess, I've flashed 4 roms in 3 days just to check the roms and this message came upon after installing 3. However it didn't appear with 4.2.2 so it has to be something with 4.3.x roms

Has anyone gotten this message with TWRP Recovery Manager? I am thinking that this might only be a problem with ROM's running Android 4.3+ with CWM Recovery Manager.
I have a Nexus 7 2013 tablet which runs like 3 different KitKat ROM's and one JB ROM (4.3.1) and I have never gotten a message like that on TWRP.
Maybe we should just switch to TWRP until CWM works this out or unless someone comes up with a permanent solution...

Your right, my other device I'm using TWRP recovery and few days ago I installed a 4.3 liquid smooth ROM and never got this message!
It's an issue with CWM combined with 4.3 ROMS from what I've tested.
I only thought it was happening on my GT-I9195 because i was using a custom based CWM recovery, but now I know it's across most devices this message is occurring

So i just switched my Verizon SGS3 (d2vzw) from CWM Touch to TWRP Touch 2.6.31 and i go to error message/warning about the SU binary being corrupted. This seems to be just an isolated incident with CWM and Android ROM's running 4.3+
With all of the work I have been doing with my Nexus 7 FLO + TWRP Recovery I decided to go ahead and switch my phone to TWRP. It was kind of hard to switch because I started out with CWM but I have just quickly become such a fan of TWRP.
If you don't want to wait for CWM to fix this issue which i am sure they will in their next update try out TWRP i think you will like it!
If you want an easy way to install TWRP recovery manager use the app "GooManager" from the Google Play store and use the your menu button on your phone and choose the open install open recovery script.
Or you could just as easily download the recovery image file from the official TWRP website and flash it with the app flashify.
Don't you just love technology!?

Root issues (moved from Virgin rom as requested) Help

I am trying to upgrade my Virgin ROM to the 9.12 build but get a fail upon trying to flash it. The background.... I'm using TWRP recovery and have tried the chainfire root method. Here are the results:
As you can see you can see some conflicting information... all shots were taken in sequence. I'm thinking the fail in twrp is coming from the system not having root but the info is telling me otherwise....

Do you have the latest SuperSU version?
I'm a little lost at what you are saying.
You flashed a rom, and it said fail, and you think it has to do with Root?
If you have TWRP installed it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not. It's going to over right the system partition regardless if you have root or not.
So it's either a bad download or bad transfer for it to fail.

I do have the latest SU version by chain fire. And maybe I'm doing something wrong the because I am running the virgin gpe ROM now and that flashed in twrp with no issues. Now when I go to install (after wiping) and select the 9.12 update that I downloaded it hangs on trying to open the zip and fails... I haven't changed any twrp settings but in the write options of twrp what boxes should be checked because system is not by default... Thanks for the replies!

You can give CWM a try, I've been using it for a while without any issues. Out of curiosity what version if TWRP you are using? I think most people recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2. I'm using the latest version of CWM.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using xda app-developers app
If all else fails, just start from scratch, get stock UVUAMDL tar, flash it with Odin, make sure to do a factory wipe after you flash it, sometimes bootloops occur if you don't. You don't even have to go past the first screen where you pick the language. Just shut it down from there and boot into download mode and root with Chainfire with Odin, then shut down and boot up again into download mode again and flash custom recovery tar of ur choice with Odin. Then download whatever custom rom zip and install it via custom recovery.

If all else fails, just start from scratch, get stock UVUAMDL tar, flash it with Odin, make sure to do a factory wipe after you flash it, sometimes bootloops occur if you don't. You don't even have to go past the first screen where you pick the language. Just shut it down from there and boot into download mode and root with Chainfire with Odin, then shut down and boot up again into download mode again and flash custom recovery tar of ur choice with Odin. Then download whatever custom rom zip and install it via custom recovery.

heyyy saw your reply in my thread.
just as @byron1985 suggested there, it sounds like you got a bad download. the flashing scripts are essentially exactly the same from previous version. the flashing process has absolutely zero to do with SuperSU.
edit: re-read. so you've verified the download. if you had success with CWM previously, i would go back to that. i do not use TWRP.

Im going to give the twrp 2.5.2 a try as it seems most of my troubles keep happening on the 2.6.3 build. Hopefully that works either way its back to CWM for me as well. Thanks again for taking the time to help out and again sorry about hijacking the thread for a page... Your ROM is absolutely perfect so I appreciate the efforts and time!,

SOLVED... tried 2.5 version of TWRP and all went well... odd but apparently my device doesnt like 2.6 versions of TWRP! Thanks to everyone who helped me out and gave me suggestions and thank you to the dev for taking some of his time to assist! It was a great help to me!
