Ok. Download ROM manager and use it to install regular cwm recovery.

I would use the non touch recovery and wipe cache,wipe data, wipe systeam, then flash super wipe. Install ROM, then flash the cache wipe.zip I posted. reboot and let us know.

Also if you have an external , put the ROM you want to flash on the external sd.

Go into mounts and storage and format /system /data and cache wipe dalvik factory reset and flash this rom

After you flash that you have to re root your device use regular cwm not touch and then flash whatever rom you want

Tried flashing through the external sd card as well but no luck. It shoes Google Framework not working. is there any way around it. Its bugging me now.

SORRY man cant do that. I worked really hard to earn this cell phone and wont let it go for free. I bought it for a full price off the contract and don't think will be donating it. I am pretty sure people will be able to help me here. Its not like the phone is dead. Its working except for a few disruptions. Besides people are offering me $450 even in such a condition.

Nandroid Backup Error... Need help....

I am currently using ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2. The last few times I have tried to backup a ROM, I get : Error finding an appropriate backup handler. This happens at the end of the backup after it looks like everything is okay. Does anybody know what this means and how it can be corrected? I don't like flashing new ROM's without doing a Nandroid Backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thank you!

Try Twrp recovery?

You need to take that avatar down and put one up of Jesse "shizzle" would never come out of Heisenberg's mouth. But yes it is better imo and lots of others. Has a better track record with this phone as well. Install it through goomanager from the play store.

I agree about TWRP. Boyh are great in their own right, but I prefer TWRP by a longshot! Even has a built in file manager!
Don't worry, we were all nervous our first times!!
Seriously though, only took a few min and I was hooked!
On your problem, does cwm see both int and ext sdcards?
If it comes to it, connect to pc over usb and adb pull both /system and /data. Also internal sd.
At least you'll have some sort of backup and then id suggest odin flashing stock firmware.
Good luck!

help with Goomanager

So i have Clockwork recovery and want to install Twrp and everything i read says to use goomanager, I just want to make sure i won't brick or mess anything up using it since it seems to easy to be true. also will my previous backups on clockwork be lost, i kind of figure they would but just want to know just in case something goes wrong. thanks for the help.

Yes your cwm backups won't work with twrp. Although as long as you don't delete them you can always go back to cwm if need be.

Are there any specific steps to follow if i install ROM using Goomanager.

What's so hard about rebooting to recovery directly from the os and then flashing the ROM?

[Q] Possible hwr problem need advice.

So here's my issue. My phone no longer allows me to flash roms from my external or internal sd card safely. What happens with every rom I flash is twofold. Data connection is always lost, and any reboot causes the phone to boot directly into download mode bypassing the odin flash page. The phone recovers from this with a simple odin back to stock. However, not being able to use non stock roms is no bueno to me.
Does this sound like some internal hwr problem? Is this an SD card issue? Would love some insite.

Which recovery are you using?

Using clockwork recovery current version

Every ROM I flashed had some bugs and they started to multiply. I used Super Wipe and killed EVERYTHING.
I then loaded every zip onto my micro SD via my computer and put it in my phone. Flash and Go.
I went back to stock rooted MA7. The glitches were gone,
So my suggestion is to do a recovery of your first full backup or do what I did.

Okay will try super wipe tonight thanks

Or if that doesn't work use twrp.

Honestly after I Odin it I think Ill try twrp first. I think I've used the superwipe before

Okay, I can't find the thanks button for you guys. THis is the solution. Don't use CWM recovery. TWRP worked wonders, and because I didn't format recovery in cwm so superwipe would probably had helped as well

Glad its working now. I have never used cwm on this phone. But twrp has been smooth sailing.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Use twrp on my s3, and cwm on the wife's note 2. Never had a problem with cwm. Sounds like the problem was not doing a full wipe with cwm (and not a problem with the cwm recovery itself)? But, whatever works for you.

Also is this gonna finally solve my problem of not being able to flash out of 4.1.2? I had it on 4.2 before I hard bricked it like a dummy
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

This is the Sprint section correct? Sprint phones are US variants right? My sig says I support the S3 and Galaxy Nexus right? Your signature says SPH-L710 right? Too many rights for it to be wrong.
If you sprint phone is not one of the new ones with the issue mounting storage then yes this will work for you. This updates your bootloader, fimware/modem to the latest md4 updates.

Thanks ed. I wasn't sure because I had the JTAG done. I really thought this s3 was history. I wanna get it back to my 100% liking before I bother to fix this glass I broke. But this isn't the first time you helped me out and for that a million thanks dude

I can not get that file to show up in twrp. I can flash it through too manager but I don't really want to do that how do I get it to show up?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

You downloaded that file right? When you boot into recovery click on flash zip from internal storage that's where it should be. Then look in the download folder.
When you download files you should be able to choose the download path, so that you know exactly where it's going.
I download everything to my external storage (sd card) then using root explorer I move it to my file system which I set up, roms, kernels, apps, mods, so on....

That's because you have flashed a 4.2 rom and your internal storage has moved to a different location. It's there you just need to find the correct path.
