i tried rooting my galaxy s3 and i followed a guide i apparently cant post cause its an outside link, all was going great but i didnt realize that i wasnt supposed to unzip the Team Epic root from recovery folder, so when i tried to install from zip it wasnt a zip it was unzipped. I was thinking i could just put the zip on the internal but now i cant access it i get the feeling this is because of clockwork... so what should i do? i just need to install the zip folder if i could get it on my internal, if i could figure out how to go to stock thatd be good i just need to access it again. Help anyone? i thought it said something about not booting into the rom cause it deletes some files so it wouldnt work, is it safe to just power off? (i removed the battery once, do it again?)
You need to get the Team Epic zip on your internal sdcard. If you can not get there without rebooting that is ok. You will lose the cwm recovery when you boot. At that point you need to download the team epic zip and start over from the beginning. No harm done.

so you are absolutely sure if i remove the battery and boot normally to access the internal that i will be fine and it has not deleted files?
sorry im such a complete noob at rooting and stuff
WARNING: Do not boot into Samsung's ROM without first applying our Root .zip. Samsung's OTA updates install /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, which cause Samsung's ROM to replace the recovery image you had just flashed with the stock recovery. Our Root .zip removes these files, thus preserving your custom recovery. Follow the directions below to boot directly into CWM recovery.
Ya all that says is you will lose what you just flashed, basically starting you over.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
If you flash a custom recovery and do not also flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery ZIP (or something similar) the ROM will detect that you have a non-stock recovery when it boots. The ROM performs a signature check and if the recovery fails the check it will replace it with the stock recovery. That essentially puts you back at square one.
You can then download the Team Epic Root from Recovery file and save the ZIP to your internal sdcard. Then start all over.
- Power off the phone Boot into Download Mode (Vol-Dwn + Home + Power)
- Run ODIN and connect your phone.
- Load the CWM recovery (do not have Odin reboot when complete).
- Disconnect the phone and pull the battery when complete.
- Power up the phone in Recovery (Vol-UP + Home + Power)
- Flash the Team Epic ZIP.
- Reboot.
- Enjoy your rooted phone.
If you fail to flash the Team Epic file before rebooting the rom will not "delete any files". It will simply restore the stock recovery.
Flash this in Odin instead of the custom recovery. It will root you and reboot. You can then get the custom recovery with goo manager or ROM manager.

First, I would suggest flash the Amon_RA recovery from ROM Manager. Then download the ROM, place on root of sdcard, reboot into recovery ("adb reboot recovery" or shutdown, power + vol dn, select recovery), wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache twice, and finally flash from sdcard (the ROM you downloaded). Reboot. Done.

Get rid of ROM manager. It's messy. Do it the old fashion way with a PC.
Go to Amon_RA's thread to download his recovery. Latest is 1.8.0.1.
Afterwards, download the ROM, move to your sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache twice, and then select flash from sdcard. Flash the ROM. Done.
ROM manager is just rather limited and leaves room for error. This way you get a clean install every time.

+1 on these instructions! AmonRA is my preference. Also, if you want to reboot to recovery easily from your phone, go to the market and download "QuickBoot"

From what I have read elsewhere, re-flash Clockwork Recovery.
Doesn't work.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
You're supposed to only download and flash recoveries from Rom Manager if you're on wi-fi since T-mobile caches web pages but I was able to get around this by flashing an older version (in Rom Manager) and immediately reflashing the correct recovery (without rebooting or even leaving RomManager).
Of course you can always download the recovery.img file and fastboot flash it.
me too
Same issue. Trying to boot into recovery gives pic of phone with red triangle.
- I reflashed clockwork recovery (not sure is this helped)
- manually went into recovery manager from rom manager menu which loaded w/o problems
- selected backup and restore
- perform backup
seems like it is working...
Volume-up + power. If you already did that then i dunno

newbie here, or course. back after 2 years away with BBerry, g2 cant get past recovery. i am looking for a way to get my device to turn back on... basically when i try to fastboot, it say i have the wrong image, or no image, fails to load E: sd card failed. i have acces to another G2 so i can get a copy of the stock rom image but has not worked::: i need assistance in this process. what do i need to load from the sd card to make my G2 turn back on or is this what bricking your device is? i have access to the recovery screen and can still load info from the sd card.
thanks for any info.
Are you saying your rom doesn't boot? Are you s-off? And if so can you get into recovery?
FYI - people generally don't fastboot from the SD, are you sure you were in fastboot mode and not hboot?

Saturn,
If you managed to flash CWM, your device is not that dead.
First thing I would try, is to load CWM and do a Factory reset, and Wipe cache. Than, reboot your device.
If this doesn't work, I don't see how CWM could help you, as Galaxy Nexus don't have external SD Card.
For CWM to work properly, you must first transfer your files to the virtual sdcard, than reboot to CWM and use that files.
If you can't boot, you can't put your files inside the device, so CWM is useless at this point.
So, what I would do right now, is:
1. Revert your device to stock..
Google for it. You'll use FASTBOOT or ODIN to reflash all partitions to stock ones.
This will even replace CWM for a stock recovery.
2. Flash CWM again.
Your device is probably working at this point. So, you can flash CWM again.
3. Reboot to CWM recovery and perform a backup. Keep it for future use, so you can restore your device at any time.
4. Download any roms you would like to, and have fun playing with your device!
Ps: Now I see that the original post was from Dec/2011.. Sorry for that.
Ok so i followed the instructions here. http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
I am all rooted and everything seems to be working until i tried to boot to CWM recovery to create a back up I realized I cannot boot into CMW. I was able do while following the instructions. It seems as thought my CWM flash is not sticking? I even tried to boot to recovery from ROM manger but it still takes me to stock recovery. I tried flashing from Rom Manger, it said it was successful and then I was able to boot to CWM, but after a reboot and trying to get back to it from rom manger again or by holding volume up, home and power I cannot get back to it. Why wont my flash stick.
Please help.

First, are you sure you are rooted?
Second, how are you trying to flash CWM?
You need to follow the method posted in the ATT Development forum and use the CWM that was developed for AT&T. I am using the d2att touch version.

Yes I am rooted. I am using Odin3 v3.04 to flash RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada.tar. I remove the battery once it shows it passes. Hold down volume up, power and home button. It will let me boot to CWM recovery this one time but after that once I reboot I have to redo the steps to get back to CWM recovery. I just tried installing recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.6-d2att.zip. It said it was successful but still no go.
Issues fixed! Apparently for those who have ran the official update by samsung are having this issue where the stock recovery is overwriting CWM recovery after reboot. Here is how to fix the issue. Credit to Max from Galaxys3root
You will need to rename or delete these two files.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
I just renamed them. I'm thinking once there is a offical update such as jelly bean that I want to update too ill just rename them back so the stock recovery will reload and allow the update.

I've been browsing the forums for a couple of months. Read lots of how-to guides but they all give different ways of doing the same thing.
Thought I knew a lot about computers, but feeling like a noob
GT-N7100 (international) running 4.1.1. Rooted using N7100. Backed up all my apks and data using Carbon, the backup app. I assume that if I wipe the device I can restore... so I'm good to go.
Wanted to put on a custom 4.2 rom so I picked Carbon (1.4-2FEB2003). Reviews looked favourable.
Downloaded Rom Manager v5.5.2.3. Clicked "Recovery Setup", rebooted, my Current Recovery is now Clockworkod 6.0.1.9.
Downloaded the rom using goomanager. Rom is sitting in a zip in a directory on my sd card.
Installed Mobile ODIN Lite v3.65 since I wanted to keep the flash count at 0.
Mobile ODIN doesn't see any of the files (they're zip). If I unzip them using an external zipper then I can manual select "Kernel" boot.img, but no idea what files to select for the rest of the options. Ok, so abandoned ODIN.
Back to ROM Manager. Install ROM from SD Card, however that app appears to be bugged since it's not able to show the external sd card, (extSdCard) and just shows internal memory.
Installed ROM Toolbox Lite. Install ROM from SD card. Browsed onto the SD card. Hurrah... picked the rom. ROM Pre-Installation appears, picked Backup Existing ROM, Wipe Data and Cache (shudder), Wipe Dalvik Cache. Ok. Reboot and install. OK. Phone reboots.
Into ClockworkMod.
Screen appears with a falled down droid. Options are: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset/ wipe cache partition, apply update from cache.
No idea what to pick. I'd have expected to get a "install rom from sd card" or some other such option, since "update" sounds like just changing clockworkmod.
Choosing "reboot system now" and the system comes back up as if I hadn't told it to install rom. Apply from external allows me to browse the rom but then I get ann E:signature veritifcation failed.
Hard-reboot. Back into 4.1.1.
I can plug into my computer (mac - so no Odin). While I'd like to keep my trianges away etc for warranty, it's not 100% critical.
How to progress further? Which of the several flashing tools should I use? What noob mistakes am I making?
1st Of all Every time You Flash a Custom Rom or boot into recovery mode ur binary will be increased so its pointless to use Triangle away while you are rooted , But when you decide to make ur device completely stock then use Triangle away and flash a Stock Rom which will unroot ur device and get ota updates back.
Now for flashing custom Roms its simple By Using any custom recovery Clockworkod or TWR.. etc:
1- Turn Off ur device then boot into recovery ( Vol up + Home + Power)
2- Make sure you have downloaded the Rom to your external SD Card
3- Wipe data Factory Reset ( Your External will remain untouched)
4- Wipe Cach
5- Wipe Dalvik cach
6- Finally Install Zip From SD Card an choose install Zip from External Card , Aroma Installer will popup then you can take it from here

Would you expect the Install Zip from SD Card option to appear if I'd skipped steps 2-5. I.e. if I haven't factory wiped yet, would the option not appear? Or should it always be there and there is something else wrong?
Thanks for your help BTW.

if u skip steps 2-5 you will face problems in the new rom. even worse the new rom may not boot normally due to leftover system data files n settings of the previous rom.
best way to flash is to reboot to recovery rather than using some softwares.
always make a nandroid in clockwork "backup n restore" option prior to flashing new rom.

Maybe this is where my confusion is coming from. I'm not seeing a backup option in the clockwork menu. Nor am I seeing a flash rom option, or anything other than the few options.
Those options are: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset/ wipe cache partition, apply update from cache.
That means you haven't flashed cwm recovery.

According to ROM Manager on the phone I'm getting told
"Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9"
I've tried reflashing the recovery a couple of times but it makes no difference.
I've checked clockworkmod.com/rommanager and indeed 6.0.1.9 appears correct.
Is there a different tool I should be using to put the cwm recovery into place?
Again, thanks to everyone so far for your help. This noob wants to not be a noob

When you say "in recovery" did you mean in the ROM Manager app, or somewhere else? I'll assume you meant when booting in recovery mode.
If I boot into recovery mode (from ROM Manager, click the reboot into recovery, or by power off/on with keys) I get the fallen down droid, and the following:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

I've downloaded the file (6.0.1.9) and it comes as a .img file. However, by default, mobile odin wouldn't handle it. Searched and found another post that said to rename it to "recovery.img" and... MO found it. Hurrah. Flashed. Hurrah.
It rebooted into it once. All looked good. But on reboot it's gone. I'm a lot further along than this morning so thank you. I'll go play some more!
Rename the following file

With root explorer or something.
