I recently purchased and rooted my galaxy S3 on Wind mobile (SGH-T999v) running on 4.1.1 and i have encountered issues installing roms onto the device let alone finding roms that are compatible with the phone. I am completely honest in saying that I have no experience in using android (I had an iphone before but it sucked ) but I am eager to learn the many additional features that are available by rooting. I have looked through threads on this site but I have had trouble finding roms to use. I tried installing cyanogenmod 10 by following the instructions for wind S3's on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775616 but to no avail. I booted my device in recovery then cleared user data and cache before booting the zip file for cyanogenmod. After a few seconds it would say installation aborted. Since I am new to the rooting scene it might be a simple mistake that I am making. If anyone knows some way to fix this or anything that could help that would be great.
Besides that, if anyone wants to share any good roms/themes that I could use and that would work on Wind mobile it would be much appreciated. Like I said earlier I am brand new to rooting so please pardon my inexperience. Thanks
You're probably using an outdated version of CWM Recovery. If you are rooted, go into the Play Store, install GooManager, and install TWRP, boot into recovery, and try to install Cyanogen Mod 10 using that

How do you preform an update for CWM, i used TWRP to boot in recovery mode but i dont think it did anything, then tried installing by running the Cyanogenmod zip file in recovery mode but it failed again

hey everyone. I rooted my phone a while ago and am running Gingerbread 2.3.5 and Verizon (used Odin and CMW3_Voodoo.tar.md5 to root and su-2.3.6.1x as files). I have been trying to work with new themes but most I find say I need clockworkmod fixed for CM7. I have tried to install CM7 and 10 a few times and am unsuccessful. The good news is when I do install the files, either by using recovery or Odin, the system says things were installed successfully but I can never get passed the recovery screen to boot up. Just tried and I am now on CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 and I can't get any further.
I have flashed back to stock to try this and without flashing back to stock and both ended in the same result. I cannot do a nanobackup either but I have read the Fascinate does not support this. All instructions were followed to a "t". Any ideas? thanks in advance
I have searched forums but have found nothing related to this.

I have found many different instructions (mostly identical) on installing that ROM but the link to download the zip file never works. The links open a new tab in my browser and it tells me the connection was reset like the page doesn't exist. I did find a file sc3_milestone2_full but am not sure if this is the one I'm looking for. If this is indeed the right file I will try it right away. I have been trying to get cyanogenmod 7 on my phone because of numerous themes I would want to try; they all require cwm fixed for cm7.
I know this has been asked hundreds of times, and i searched the forums for days for a way to fix it, but with no use.
I have a rooted AT&T Galaxy SIII with JB 4.1.1. I am trying to install the CM 10.1(4.2.2) Nightly version, but i always get the infamous "Status 7 Installation Aborted" error.
Yes i am sure im downloading the correct ROM zip file for my phone and carrier.
I have CWM 6.0.2.1, and i followed the steps correctly. (Clear data -> Clear Cache Partition -> Clear Dalvik Cache -> install ROM)
I have tried so many times, i also re-rooted my phone, reinstalled CWM, and redownloaded different nightly versions of the ROM, as well as other ROMS like JellyBam.
I also tried to delete the assert lines in the update-script file, but that also wouldnt work.
Thank you. :good:
And please dont hate on me, im new to rooting and flashing. :crying:
Improper recovery.

if you can boot into the phone, download ROM manager and update your cwm recovery. latest version is 6.0.2.8.
CM10 and 10.1 are picky about you having the most recent version. cheers

Hi guys, I'm having same issue but on N7000 international version. I'm able to go in the recovery mode and download mode but phone won't boot normally. It's stuck on Samsung logo so can you please advise something? How can I update CWM if that's the issue. I was on ICS 4.0.4 XXLRK before trying to install CM10.1 on Note.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I would be doing my research in an N7000 forum, friend.
Also, your post seems confusing as you seem to be saying you also got a status 7 error but then you appear to have installed abroad and are stuck at the boot logo. If you successfully flashed the correct rom for your device without any errors, pull battery, replace and wipe data in recovery. Reboot

Apologies for both confusion and using the S3 that to find some help. I just found the situation quite familiar so I couldn't help myself from asking the question
On the situation, I was able to install CWM and am able to go to recovery or download mode but the error displays when I try to update the zip of any rom.

If the phone itself is functioning fine but you simply cannot flash a new rom or rom update, you need to update your recovery. Go to clockworkmods website and download version 6.0.1.2.

I would take up this situation in the correct forum. The more we discuss your device issues the more likey you are to download the wrong file or use a procedure not designed for your device software.
If you came from stock, flashed a rom and are stuck at the samsung logo, boot into recovery, wipe data and cache. Reboot to see if that helped. If not, seek advice in the N7000 forum. Cheers
Thanks for the guidance.
I am new to all this root and custom ROM, but I have spent hours searching forums and need help so thats why I am posting.
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 I747. I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8. I managed to root my android using CASUAL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189536) and install Clockwordmod recovery v6.0.3.6
I then download and install #SuperUser. Followed by ROM Manager. (My internet research told me rom manager is the easiest to use for mac users)
I run rom manager, flash clockwork, then look to install the latest "stable" build for CM. I select install CM, format and erase, It downloads, downloads gapps, reboots looks to install CM, then I get the below error message:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
Assert failed: getprop(ro.bootloader”)==i747
(followed by many more lines of error/failed)
my phone then reboots into the stock AT&T. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to wipe my whole phone, factory reset, then install a custom ROM like CM using ROM Manager? or should I be doing something else?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Tim
I was able (after many hours of reading posts) figure out my problem.
The new CM mods require a specific version of your phone's "bootloader." I switched it to: I747UCDLK3 then re-flashed CM 10.1.2-dtatt with Rom Manager and it worked!
You'll need to download and flash the appropriate bootlegger.
This thread was very helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310
I have to say all in I invested a good 8 hours this weekend of reading posts, troubleshooting, and research as I rooted my phone for the first time, then installed my first custom rom. It wasn't easy rooting on a mac 10.6.8. Every step of the way I ran into obstacles and had to do a special workaround to root, get java 7, type commands in the terminal, install clockwork recovery, update bootloader, reflash cm rom.
Good luck!

**** IGNORE THIS POST AS FIX WAS INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS POST ********
Status 7 is from you having an outdated bootloader. follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310 and do as instructed
Ok guys I am a noob (also new to these forums) and I'm having a lot of trouble with my phone. The other day, I rooted my phone using towelroot and confirmed it using root checker. then, I downloaded ROM manager as advised by a friend. i followed the instructions and installed Clockworkmod Recovery onto my AT&T Galaxy S3. Feeling I was finally ready to install a ROM, i tried to download Cyanogenmod 10.3.1 only to have it be "downloading" for over 14 hours without it completing. From there, i did some research and decided to utilize the Cyanogenmod Installer. it seemed to work perfectly, even showing the cyanogenmod logo under when my devicec turned on, until it told me to reboot my device. i entered clockworkmod recovery mode to officially reboot it. when i selected "reboot system now" it said "Root access possibly lost. Fix?". i was given the options to say "No" and "Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su). no matter which one i try, my phone boots to the stock touchwiz OS. I have installed and reinstalled both superuser, superSU, and ROM manager to no success. What am i doing wrong?
Try flashing Philz Touch via Odin and use that to flash a custom ROM.
From what I recall, CM ROMs are already rooted.

CM is already rooted? What does that mean? I have a feeling that I will be unable to flash any ROMs due to my "possible loss of root access." Thank you for your patience as I am a noob and am very stressed out as this is my only phone.
I see two areas that are potential problems for flashing that rom. If it took 14 hours to download, its highly likely a corrupted download. But also, you may be on too new firmware. Cm uses asserts in the updater-script to check that you have the right base firmware/bootloader build. They dont update this so when newer firmware is released it will no longer flash because the script doesn't see it as allowed.
Anytime you have issues flashing something in recovery, you should copy the recovery log to sd. This will tell you what happened. I suspect it simply didn't flash, but without the log, theres no way we can tell what happened.
Also, you do not need to be rooted to flash anything from recovery. Just flash the recovery, then flash a rom from there. Nearly all roms you will ever see are already rooted. Non rooted roms are very rare and are generally only used as an alternate way to revert to stock.
I dont use cwm, but if im not mistaken, it seems to always ask to fix root. I dont know why, but I see people ask about it frequently.
I use TWRP, so try that, or philz as suggested by audit13. Just watch the flash progress for any errors and copy the log.
Hi all. I have rooted my s4 mini using kingroot. I have installed adaway and xmod because they were my main reasons for rooting. But i'd like to go a bit deeper now and learn a bit more about rooting as im a novice. But before i can do that ive read that i should create a back up, am i right in thinking a nandroid and a back up are the same thing? Well anyway my problem is ive tried to create a back up using cwm rom recovery but my device is not supported. Ive also read something aboit phils cwm recovery 6 ( at least i think it was called that) but from my understanding i need access to a laptop or a pc to be able to take that route. I dont have access to a pc or laptop at the moment so im just here to ask if anybody can advise me on how i can create a back up for my device. My plan is to learn the ropes using this device as its an old device and when im more comfortable im going to root my galaxy alpha. Any help and answers will be appreciated, im not so great with tech and the lingo but im wanting to learn. Thanks
Unrooted
Well i have unrooted to be safe. My son plays with my phone and i dont feel safe without out a back up or nandroid. I would still like info so i can reroot n get adaway back and xmod for the unlimited lives on candy crush, and sandbox mode on clash of clans. If anybody has any info that could be of any use to me, even just a link to point me in the right direction it would be great.
Try installing TWRP for backups. i am also a beginner but i tried backing up the stock rom, flashing custome roms, And restoring the backups. Done this almost five times a week.
Here are files.

Forgot to mention that my stock rom is 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I had flashed cm12.1 rom before, which triggered my knox to 0x1.
Thanks il check those out now
Yes twrp is a good recovery...i am using it too and it can be installed without a pc
Davidich could you direct me to a link or explain how i can install it without using a pc. Do i need root to install it or can i create recovery then reroot? Is it as simple as finding file and installing it by checking unknown sources. Then opening up twrp app and applying recovery? Or do i need to go into download mode to apply it? Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks
Well ive rooted again and installed twrp because i needed root access to enter twrp. When i open twrp it asks me to install busy box, i accept the request but it doesnt download. What is busybox? Do i need it to back up? Ive just read something about mounting system using terminal emulator and then that should allow busybox to download. Am i going in the right direction?
Please Anyone give me a backup of stock rom for Samsung galaxy s4 m919

Busy box can be downloaded directly from play store. As for installing a recovery without a computer well that's RISKY. There are apps that can help like Flashfire, Rashr and Flashify. These can flash various things without a custom recovery. BUT they are not guaranteed to work. My experience is with Flashfire by Chainfire. With this I was able to flash a stock ROM without a computer. But the app when I last looked was in beta stage. Also if something goes wrong you will need a computer to fix... If it hasn't bricked your phone. Sooo much safer thru Odin on a computer.
