Need some help flashing ROMs etc........ I have CMW 6012 recovery on my GS3 i747M trying to flash through ROM Manager Premium 5021, when I try to flash into recovery my phone is not listed in the drop down menu in fact no GS3 devices are listed.
I wondering whether I have a bad version of CWM or have a different problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Reinstall cwm using ROM manager
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
i read somewhere this is a glitch in the app and that it was being looked into.. wish i could remember what thread i read that in.. I read it maye 4 days ago in one of the noobie stickies i think.... so my suggestion would just be to manually flash from cwm recovery

Re-installing cwm from ROM manager didn't work, it still wants to know what phone I have and it isn't listed. I have uninstalled cwm, reset my phone to factory settings and re-rooted a few time now with the same results. It's mildly frustrating......
I never had this problem with my S and S2.
Any more suggestions welcome.
Try team win recovery project(twrp). I never heard of anyone having an issue like yours.

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.

Good to see you fix your issue just FYI the bell phone will flash any Canadian rom or any ATT rom without problem
Just don't flash other modems than those set for this variant.

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

My i747 does the same, I've tried several time with stock kernel, Ziggy kernel and kt747 kernel but I Berber got passed the logo. I tried both, cwm and twrp latest recovery. It is the only ROM not booting on my phone so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Which really stinks because I love Galaxymod but I guess I got lucky that it worked well for me with minimal effort. There one thing I've never had to do on 5 phones and wont say it for fear of jinxing myself haha
Hello every, iv recently made the switch to TWRP recovery because of its ease of use and every single Rom seems to be recommending it as the recovery of choice. My issue is that when i go into Rom manager The option for CWM is still available. Its not that big of a deal since every time i boot into recovery it goes straight into TWRP. Its more of a nusence, I have all my CWM back ups saved on my computer so if i ever need to go back to it i have it there. I was just wonder how to fully delete it of the phone so it wont show up as an option. I deleted all the files i could think of off the SD card and the internal memory. I honestly dont know what else im missing. Anyone willing to help me out?? Please and thank you :laugh:
You sure Rom manager isn't suggesting you have the option to flash cwm over twrp? Try using goo manager instead. The backups you made with cwm if you are referring to backing up a Rom that it's called nandroid and will work with both

I posted a screen shot.. I have twrp installed and want to get CWM removed so it doesn't show up in the already installed category. I installed TWRP with Goo Manager and I thought it would delete CWM. But it didn't.

Hi everytime I flash an tw rom on first boot everything works perfectly but as soon as I reboot I get this error phone.android.com has stopped and it keeps doing it so force closing each 15 seconds..
I tried to reflash whit a full wipe various times different tw roms but it still happens??
Also while im at it dont feel like opening another thread I have cwm6 touch the latest and during a nandroid backup it says backup of /data has failed some sort of error ....
I really want to go back to tw tired of aosp any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Wipe everything and odin flash the root66 firmware. Start over from full stock rooted, but clean.
Run your nandroid again and write down the error. (Save log to sd).
Seems to me there is some corrupted data getting left behind. I'd format the external sd as well. But at least backup and delete the Android folder. (Contains 2 folders inside, data and obb). You can rename to Android-bak if you prefer. Do this before wiping and flashing root66.

The data error I had too, but on twrp and it's a known thing all over recovery threads for a while now. The error thing happened to me a while back but a root66 fixed that, you should also get the other bug fixed with in the same process.

Mobile Odin isn't hard to use at all. I highly recommend using it in place of cwm and twrp, except for when a nandroid is needed.
As for the cwm touch, have you considered trting twrp? Personally I prefer it over cwm.

There's no reason at all to be nervous about trying a different recovery. Thousands of people have been using it w/o issue. Personally I think they are both really good, I just prefer twrp. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, install cwm.
It shouldn't do anything at all to your current rom. Recovery is on a completely different partition. And you can install w/o flashing. Use goo manager for twrp or rom manager for cwm.

The T999L is the Superior Cousin T999 never was. It has an LTE antenna that the T999 is missing. Practically all the Custom Roms will work fine from one to the other.
If you want to flash custom Recovery then use Goo Manager and hit Install Custom Recovery Script.

You need to use ODIN to flash that Version. There's plenty of Tutorials on How to use ODIN.

Could be your Bootloader is locked.
Are you absolutely sure you are successfully Rooted ? Please use Root Checker App if in doubt.
When you tried to flash the Recovery via ODIN, what was the error ? Can you post a screenshot ?
With due respect "Everything Fails" doesn't really tell me squat.
I'll do that when i get back home.

i tried it via odin again and it worked i have no idea what was wrong with it, thanks for finding those TWRP files for me.
Do a quick search before going any further. I have a T999L thread that answers most any question you may have.
