You can get the touch version from Koush for free. It's legit. Just installed it today finally through Fastboot.
You need the Android SDK and the recovery.
If your interested and need a link I'll post it here.
(Didn't check the link already posted here.)
Is the method above with link the easiest way. Could I use rom manager.by cwm to do it from play store?
Will installing cwm erase everything on the phone

do you have root? if not, you have to use the method above.
I found a cwmr touch installer in play store. Could I use that to install the cwm or do I have to be rooted for that? Is there a one click root app or something like that or is the process above the easiest

Does that process erase/wipe everything
Also, just clarify... the process that linked still requires root? Or does it do it all together. Can I start from obtaining root access and custom recovery?
last question, if i flash update file from takju 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 through cwm with just unlocked bootloader but no root, will i still get OTA in the future? also, will the update remove cwm?

And bro just root if you got an unlocked boot loader. Ur using the most easiest device to root.
I just got the new G3 and am looking into rooting, but I'm not interested in using any ROMs.
I've done the same with my Epic 4g for the last few years, but have run into issues at times.
My question is, will I run into any issues if I just run a rooted, non-ROMed phone? If so, are there things I can do to prevent them?
I'm only looking to be able to freeze bloatware, use adblocks, get free hotspot, use backup utilities, etc. But I don't want to run into issues with sprint updates, etc.
Basically wondering what the best way to utilize a rooted, non-ROMed G3 would be.
Thanks for the help.

Easiest way without issues would probly be to get all the sprint updates before you root. Once ur up to date flash CWM or Twrp thru Odin and flash the Team epic root from recovery file while in there. Then if you dont want the custom recovery flash the stock one back after your rooted.

Thanks for the quick reply, after looking through and reading about the FreeGS3 ROM, I'm thinking of going with Twrp and flashing FreeGS3.
Though, all I'm seeing for Twrp is installing through GooManager, which requires a root. I know how to use the CWM tar in odin and flash the Team Epic root, but I'm not sure how to get twrp on before cwm.
Is there a tar file for twrp like the cwm one used in QBKing77s root videos?

Will just root using cwm and install twrp over goomanager.

Hey guys,
I am having trouble flashing a custom recovery (TWRP) to be specific on my brothers Note 2. I was able to easily do it with my phone but I didnt update OTA to the latest ATT software.
I have the latest samsung drivers installed too.
So in general.
1. My brother updated OTA
2. I use odin to try to flash TWRP via PDA
3. It says success but when I reboot into recovery it goes into the stock android recovery instead of the custom one
4. ??? perplexed
is your [brothers] phone rooted? (you didn't mention that in the post). if it is, the easiest way to install TWRP is to download GooManager from the Play Store and, once installed, choose Menu->Install OpenRecoveryScript.

He is not rooted. He is stock from AT&T but he said he did an OTA update a week or two ago.
I actually tried the GooManager to install TWRP but it said it installed twrp but it goes into stock android recovery
I'm not sure if this helps or not but when I load into stock android recovery it keeps "manually loading CSC"

so i take it [your] phone is rooted, because you have a custom recovery installed. my understanding is that the device must be rooted before you can install a custom recovery. that's why installing TWRP via GooManager didn't work.

what about ODIN doesn't it root the phone when you flash a custom recovery?
on my phone all I had to do was flash via twrp via odin and it did everything for me...

ODIN doesn't root your phone. it's the package/file that you flash with ODIN that roots your device. you didn't mention the method you used to root your phone.

flash what via TWRP? you need to reference the methods you used to flash your device, e.g., link to post. it's difficult to help without having more info. in my case i used the CF Root method which does root your phone by using ODIN to flash a package that installs SuperSU binary and APK (app that provides root) and a Stock recovery. This took less than 30 seconds. afterwards, i added my GMail account to my device, installed GooManager from the PlayStore and then used GooManager to install TWRP. hope this is helpful.

I see. Sorry for not being specific
When I worked on my phone. I installed the latest samsung drivers on the main website, used Odin 3.07, flashed TWRP 2.3 by PDA, and it was rooted and the custom recovery worked awesome (I did it similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFHZ535L7is)
However this process does not work with my brothers note 2. Which is why im confused.... I assuming TWRP auto rooted for my phone but it didn't for my brother's phone?
I will definitely give your method a try and post back. Thanks for putting up with a newbie like me! :laugh:

no worries... i'd hate to see you fubar your brothers phone, lol. anyway, the method used in that video appears to be created by ChainFire for the N7100, which is the international version of the Note 2. the method i referenced - also developed by ChainFire - is specific to the AT&T and Canadian versions of the Note 2. if there's one thing I've learned in my years on xda, it's to make sure that you play with stuff that's compatible with your device. several of today's devices go by the same consumer friendly name (e.g.,Galaxy S 3, Note 2) but have different internals (e.g., chips). if you flash an incompatible ROM, you could end up with a nice paperweight. hope you and your brother enjoy your phones.

just a quick update.
I flashed CF-autoroot, TWRP, and a custom rom! Everything works great!
Thanks for the help!
I am new with rooting my phone. I have used Rooted phones before, I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633 Motochopper how to. I ran into a problem. I click the superuser app that was installed onto my phone, and it tells me that "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated. Please choose an installation method. Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices." I click install and it tells me there was an error. I would like to root my phone along with potentially installing CWM so that I can easily install Cyanogenmod when they release a stable verison for the S4. Also would love to install titanium backup along with some Adfree apps.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
OK, so it looks like you already have it rooted.
When super SU asks that question, dont install via CWM, tell it to just install normally.
Once you have SuperSU working, Download Rom Manager from the play store and install CWM Recovery right from within the ROM Manager app.
It will give you the option to pick between two types of CWM(ClockWorkMod). The Touch version, like its name gives you the ability to use the touch screen and not only the volume up/down + Power button.
Telling it to install normally causes it to just tell me there was an error, it also tells me it is out of date as well. Titanium Backup tells me that it cant get root access and I was never asked about it.
OK, so your phone is not rooted then.
Your going to have to try rooting it again or flashing an already rooted rom with Odin.
I just tried it again, this time it said failure after the install of the superuser.apk. I just read that one of the later updates by samsung can make it harder to root. I just got my phone and i was fully updated. What Roms, are already rooted for the S4. I am actually enjoying some of the default apps that came with the phone.
Wicked (and most ROMs that don't include the [STOCK] tag) are pre-rooted...but you'll need to ODIN a custom recovery first then flash the ROM.
If you want to stay on rooted stock, follow the steps in the "root May 7 MDL" thread to ODIN a rooted kernel, and you'll be good to go.
(You don't need root access to get a custom recovery flashed)
Basically, any of your options are pretty straightforward, but they're going to involve Odin-ing stuff.
So there isn't really a way to just root my phone without installing a custom rom?
There was before the second update, with the second update rooting got just a little bit more steps

Are you still on the MDB firmware or have you done any over the air updates? Specifically the May 7 update which is MDL. Motochopper is specifically for then older firmware (MDB) and it won't work if you are already on the updated. MDL firmware. In which case you would have to follow these instructions to acquire root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41162041
I usually use a market app called root checker to quickly check if I do have root.
And yes you can be rooted on stock.

Root checker says no root. I believe it does have that over the air update installed. T Mobile updated it when they gave me the phone, because they thought I didn't really know anything about phones. I assume this means I have to follow another method to root my phone?
If you have the MDL update you have to root using the steps listed here:

This is going to sound like a dumb question but from reading all of that I need to use ODIN to install the ROOT_M919?UVUAMDL onto the phone? that should root the phone and allow me to install ROM Manager and install CWM from there right?
Also would doing this delete everything I have on my phone right now?

No, you use Odin to install one of the recoveries. You use the recovery to install the zip ROOT_M919?UVUAMD. Personally I didn't use that file. I installed the kernel in recovery and SuperSU in recovery. And no, it won't delete things on your phone.

Thank you so much, I am about to go and do this. I will use the kernel you suggested since that looks like a better option, after flashing the kernal should i reboot and just use it normally for a bit and then go to recovery and flash SuperSU?
EDIT: The steps on the thread for ODIN are for installing a rooted ROM, I am assuming its still the same steps for installing a recovery instead of a rooted ROM

Okay I didn't get any error using ODIN, however when I try and boot into CWM using Volume Up + Power it just goes to android recovery. Which doesn't have any of the options I need.

2 options. uncheck auto reboot in Odin. When Odin is done, unplug your phone, pull your battery, then boot into recovery. Or .. when Odin is done and it reboots your phone, keep holding volume up to get to recovery.

No, as in root IS required in order to install ClockworkMod recovery on to my SGH-M919?
If so, is it possible to install CWM recovery on to my SGH-M919 via Odin flashing without having first to root my phone?
Rooting is the lesser of the two evils.
A custom recovery maybe semi functional without root, especially if installing a custom rom that requires changes to files, permissions or build prop edits in order for it to work properly.
Root on the other hand gives you a broad spectrum of functionality allowing you total control of your phone, operating system and access to customize your rom of choice the way you want it.
In this world, you root then you have the option of custom or stock recovery.
And yes, typically you need root to flash CWM recovery.

You do not need root to flash cwm from a pc (odin). You DO need root to flash it with rom manager or similar app

You only need root if you are wanting to flash CWM via ROM Manager, if you're just wanting to flash CWM (in order to flash a new ROM), this is the guide I used: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jflte#Recovery_Installation

Isn't it some sort of img. file?
Not a MD5 or tar. file?
It sounds complicated for a novice flasher that doesn't understand "root" .

I see. Let me ask this, another user mentioned that if you were to flash ClockwordMod recovery in Odin with no root than CWM recovery would not function as needed since it would need some permissions only available if the phone was rooted - is this true? The reason I ask is because it is not mentioned anywhere on the ClockworkMod site that root is required.

You wouldn't be able to use apps like ROM Manager, Flashify, etc. to send commands from within Android to CWM without root, as those apps require root; but CWM will work fine if you boot into recovery and run your commands there.
What is it you are looking to do? In all honesty, I don't see the point in installing a custom recovery if you are not also going to root your device.

Not true, it should function as it should
Root allows all apps that require root to function! Apps that will allow immediate power down, sms/mms backups, timed reboots, having a simple way to manage (AND NAME BACKUPS) With text that will show date created rather than what the application (like CWM) uses. The date will look odd if you just boot to recovery and ,let CWM assign the filename of the recovery. Rooting affords MANY possibilities that would not be possible without root. It will also, allow you whether knowingly, or unintentionally wiping out the os to become non functional. Root gives you TOTAL controlability. You can make almost any change you want, but wrong moves could render the decice un-usable without first recovering a previous backup, or restoring a completely new factory install. If you're not backed up, be very carefull what you change. Also rogue apps can put you out of business as well since the system will allow any changes to occurr. Rooting removes the rules of anything that controlls the device's operation. It sorta kills all the cops of your phone's system, and makes you God. LOL
In my case, if I were not able to root my decice, I'd most likely go iPhone as 99% of their apps work , like the author says it will. Apple screens and tests each offered app whereas, android is a crapshoot! Hope I answewed your question without scaring you off !!!!!?
