[q] flashing cm7!?

when flashing the build for cm7 could i do it using ClockWork Mod v2.5.1.2 or is there a special recovery i need to flash before trying to put cm7
reason i ask is because on the MT4G you need to flash recovery to v3.0.0.0+ before flashing cm7 build
if someone could please responf on this thread or pm me would be awesome!
Thank You

pretty sure you can just flash it the regular way.. wouldn't see why not as the gingerbread roms are flashed through the regular cwm also

well sounds like you already have the latest Clockwork installed? if so, I believe UnRevoked comes with a downgraded version so I would try and downgrade the version on your phone see if it helps

Well I'm able to go into recovery it's just when I try and use rom manager or titanium backup it comes up saying the phone doesn't have root privileges so I thought it wasnt rooted properly. If I'm rooted because I can go into recovery and it shows s= off in h boot then how do I fix the privileges part of it all?

This happened to me after I used unrevoked. It ran successfully, I tested w/ rom manager and it worked. I then rebooted a few minutes later and tried using several other root apps and none could obtain root privelages. So, I flashed a custom ROM (cyanogen 6.1) then had full root access again. Maybe that will help?

ok everything went through for the root and privileges, now im having an issue flashing cm7..... is there something special i need to do to flash it?
when i try flashing through recovery using 2.5.1.2 it aborts the installation please help, ive been trying to this for my gf for the passed 2 days.
Thanks
EDIT: still same issue, what do I do to fix?

CWM not installing! GT-i9505

Can not for the life of me get this too boot into CWM.
I have used CF auto root and confirmed I have root access, I have deleted the recovery file in system/etc and no matter what I do, CWM just won't boot, it just keeps booting into android recovery. I even tried taking the battery out as soon as CWM is finished to prevent a boot into the os and then trying to boot into it, still nada.
Is there something I am missing?

Are you already rooted or are you trying to install CWM first and then root?

Sorry just re-read lol. Why don't you use TWRP? Personally I like that recovery better. Since you're already rooted just install goomanager and install it through there. Or you could also install CWM through rom manager.

Already rooted, I read a guide that says delete install.recovery.sh, which I thought I did but it is not actually deleting, says it is but just does not disappear? wtf
EDIT: just seen your edit, I used clockwork before on my DHD, that is why i chose this. Will try it via ROM manager, if all fails I shall try your recovery choice, TY.

Ok this is weird, root checker confirms I have root, I can grant things root access (rom manager, goomanager) but they always fail when setting the permissions, also can't delete that file in system/etc...so my device is like half rooted or something? Any ideas?

Why are you deleting system files? I've never had to delete anything when rooting or flashing a recovery.

install.recovery.sh installed reflashes the recovery system to the android default, I am trying to flash to clockwordmod but it just keeps booting into android recovery no matter what i do, root checker confirms i am rooted.
I am just stumped on what to do....i can't get any custom recovery on this.
Goomanager says it can not find one for my phone and rom manager says the s4 is not even supported, all apps are up to date. what gives?

try TWRP through goomanager. its better imo, and installed in seconds with no problem. didnt have to delete anything either.
oh and btw, if this is a gt-i9505 related problem, youre in the wrong forums... might help more over in the gt-i9505 forums

nah goomanager/rom manager was not installing either CWM or TWRP, however i done a factory reset of the phone, redone the rooting process and installed TWRP manually, fixed now.
Where is this mhystical forum section?

Not 100 % sure but I think if you've upgraded to 4.3 and rooted again with cf autoroot you have to then update su from playstore to get root back. I think it downloads the update which you flash through recovery and that's what it's asking you. As i said I'm not 100% Dr ketan's guides are always the best answer

When you want to root you can use CF to root.
When boot into android you need to update SuperSU first.
Then open SuperSU app and update. When app is asking you yo disable KNOX do it. Then it will work
And to root you need this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933542

[Q] lost root still have supersu installed

yesterday I upgraded to 4.1.2 from my t mobile s3.. and now that when I try to open any root applications like titanium backup and greenify it says root access needed. I downloaded root checker.. and it says *you have no proper root access*.. I don't know how the supersu is still installed?? and it can not be uninstalled..? I tried to uninstall from the settings and asked me to reboot.. but still supersu was there? can anyone tell me how to permanently uninstall it so that I can root my phone again and clean install a supersu?
note: I did not have any custom rom installed. . was just having root access and supersu. .

How did you update? I'm guessing you have no custom recovery so if you want to keep everything stock but just have root, then flash the MD5 or respective root66 image for your phone in Odin

Just because you have Supersu does not mean you are rooted. What is the version after update ?

If you want to root it use cf-auto root to root, re-enable supersu if you decide to do this

I managed to root mine with motochopper. I had some issues getting it to root because running bat file as amin doesn't work and you have to run it as normal user.

Finally gain root with motochopper, always failed before
I fail gain root with motochopper, here is what i do the last time and get root

The latest version of Kingo Android Root did it for me. Just download it, put your cellphone into usb debug mode in the configuration settings, conect it to your computer via usb and run the program.
Since I'm a new user I can't give you the link to the download site, but you can easily find it through google.

I have successfully rooted my gt-s6812 using the vroot method . The only problem i had was that the superuser file was in chinese which i managed to get fixed using the latest version of supersu. after installing supersu it will ask you to install su binaries .Update the su binaries do normal install and then it will ask you to remove other superuser or su binaries just do yes and you are done.:good::laugh:
