CWM problem - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello,
My problem is that I can't get into Clockworkmod by ANY way, tried many tutorials, few trials with odin but all the time i get into base android recovery. Any solutions ? ( T-mobile )

Delete/rename
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/install-recovery.sh
Reinstall cwm or twrp.

Thanks for replying. I also would be very thankful if you could tell me step by step what to do or at least thereabout ? I was always following tutorials to root / install cwm on my phone however I had never problem like this before.

There's not really much to explain. Use a root capable browser to browse to and delete the files I listed.
Then using rom or goo manager you can easily reinstall recovery and reboot recovery.

Okey, will try

So i downloaded root explorer, found recovery-from-boot.p then deleting it, shows that it has been deleted, but nothing really happens. Also the second file you told me to remove (install-recovery) isn't here I found this topic
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867719
did the same but this time when i'm tryin to get into recovery, holdin home+power+volumeup there is weird red exclamation mark or something like this in the corner of galaxy s logo, and when holding those buttons there is appearing screen exactly like in anex, then vanishing for like three seconds, and appearing again ( and same thing again and agian ). When I realease the buttons it redirects me to home screen, but when i'm trying again to load recovery it sends me to base android recovery again. I have seen that half of people trying to get CWM are having the same problem.

What phone is ^^^???
This is the sgh-t999 forum. Maybe u flashed something that wasn't for your phone?

Good eye. I missed that. Who knows, even if he was just using another pic for example purposes, we haven't heard back from him. Between the pic, the op and we havent heard from him again it makes me think he did have the i9300 anyway. Who knows.

Okay I have read instructions for our devices and I'm kind of confused. Do we need to just download the. Apk file or the zip or both? Do we flash the zip in recovery and that's it? I read the instructions and I'm sorry if I'm a little slow but it just wasn't all that clear to me.

I used the M6 file from this post on that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856 It's working great so far. The only issue I've found is that you can't exit using the back button. You need to press the home button to exit.
Also, even though the instructions say its for CWM, it's not. You can flash it using any recovery.
Download the M6 file, copy it to your SD card, reboot into recovery and flash it, then reboot and poof you're done.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

Ya i checked settings and tried both user interfaces. I'm not that much of a noob. I tried 4 browsers. It works after installing the apk file i found online. I was really pissed off. The flash installer from Google play doesn't work. Search Google for flash player apk.

Just rooted. What apps can i remove?

I dont use 99% of these apps. At the same time i dont know what is safe / not safe to remove.
I would flash a already debloated rom. Probably easier.

Welcome to the S3 family
Easiest way to root?
Download the T-Mobile image from this thread and extract the .tar file
Flash with ODIN.
Or you can choose a different method, but you will have to ODIN custom recovery onto the phone first.
Go to this thread for guides on rooting/flashing, etc.
As for the battery, read this article about battery conditioning.

Well for starters you can look at whats been removed from the debloated rom and debloat yours to match.
Additionally, you can just search these forums as there will likely be multiple threads about whats safe to remove.
Additionally+, you can buy Titanium Backup and freeze the apps one by one. If they dont cause problems when frozen they are safe to remove.

Ok thx
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Hey Mike,
I would recommend installing a custom recovery, I highly recommend Clockwork mod. Make a backup of your system to be safe, so that you can always restore if needed. Next use a file manager with root permissions, I HIGHLY recommend Root Explorer. Create a folder on your sd card called backup_bloat (or anything really). Go to your app drawer and start jotting down the bloat. I'd recommend getting rid of all the TMobile stuff, as well as most of the samsung apps. Once you have a good idea of what to get rid of, go into your system -> apps folder and look for the same icons. Instead of just deleting the files, use the multi-select option in root explorer to select all the ones you want to get rid of. Once done, move them into the backup_bloat folder. Reboot. Test your device out thoroughly for a day or two. If it works great, you can get rid of the backup_bloat folder. Any errors, and you may have removed something needed by the phone. This is my standard debloat process, and it works well for me without having to install any custom roms.
Hope this helps!

I might be wrong, but i'm pretty sure you just need to remove the file from your phone. you could use file explore and delete it, or if you're lucky then it will flash as app and you can remove it from your app list. I'm pretty sure it's the first one tho.
Hi guys,
I'm super new to Android. Bought the note 2 as the first android after 10 years of Symbian. I'm completely lost with the flashing thing on Androids.
I have few questions:
1. Does rooting/flashing delete the phone data?
2. If I flash the keyboard and then I flash the camera mod, do I lose my data everytime I add a mod?
3. What else should I do with my Note 2 to get the most out of it?
Thanks

If youre only flashing the camera and keyboard, you dont need to wipe anything, and you dont lose anything either(data). It just puts the 4.2 camera, 4.2 keyboard and 4.2 gallery. As far as other mods, just read on the thread you get them from to see if there are any warnings before flashing. But the golden rule of flashing is always do a nandroid before you flash anything.

What kernel are you currently running on this ROM? Have you tried other music players? flashed any recent sound mods?
Unless she's tried something else, I believe she's using the kernel from klin1344. Looked to be pretty up to date.

I don't think she's flashed any sound mods, but perhaps that may help?

Just AOSP I believe. It uses different source that isn't 100% open I don't think. Meaning CM and other teams have to work with what they are given, not enough for perfect. It may get 100% eventually but not right now.

Do you have the pro version? Free version won't allow you to access root. If not, ES Explorer and Root Browser are good free alternatives.
My favorite is Root Explorer, but its a paid app too.
Once you have this sorted, find the mms.apk you downloaded, long press and copy, then browse to /system/app.
(You may need to mount it as r/w. Press menu key or look for a switch/button on screen)
Rename the existing mms.apk to mms.apk.bak
Paste the new apk in the app folder. Long press the apk and change permissions to match all other apps in that folder.
Reboot and try sending a mms.

Oh and to restore a nandroid backup, you have to use the same recovery you created it with. I think you changed recoveries at some point, right?
If it was created with cwm, it can only be restored with cwm. Same for twrp.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
+1 on that. The only sure way to convert backups specific to any recovery is to restore those backups on the very recovery they were originally created on then flash your desired recovery, reboot, boot back into recovery, and create a whole new backup of the one you just restored from the previous recovery. It may take some time, especially if you have a number of backups you're wanting to convert but it's well worth the time in having all your backups in one simple recovery folder.
Gonna try one of the ones you suggested and see what happens lol I changed my mind if I can get this rom where I want it then I'm staying with it lol with your help of course lol

Doesn't matter if you download by phone or pc but I'd use pc for best results. Also, download the latest gapos 20130301 from Goo or you can use updated inverted packages if you like. I personally recommend SlimRoms gapps.
