I would think you need to Odin a custom kernel/recovery then flash a super user.zip file. Also you would need to get the super user app from the playstote

Ok could you give me some instructions on flashing kernel/ recovery with odin?
Never mind they have odin one clicks for kernels

You want to brick your phone dude? Its not for our phone. !! And its not even recovery flashable.
He is just posting if some of our dev can make it work on our phone .
You need to extract those media files from zip to work.

I wasn't being a cry baby I was stating it didn't work. The camera or keyboard isn't for our phone but they work by flashing. Plus he didn't say it was for developers so i didn't know. Don't jump the gun "dude". A lot of people post things for others to try that's all i was trying to do is to help him know they didn't work. I read but nothing says developers only.

Clockwork vs twrp

Hey so tell us what recovery you like and don't like and why?
I was using twrp but stopped because it screwed up my phone and was having problems flashing some Roms. I just don't think it does a clean wipe just works to fast..... So far clockwork cleans ,wipes more securely and have no problems flashing Roms...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I see this thread getting out of hand and going south quickly. I'm gonna request a mod step in and make a bold suggestion to people on how to keep it clean and not go south. Also make a poll for the thread, makes it look better and more official..
I prefer TWRP, I've been on it since I got the S III (May of '12). I test roms for 3 devs on this phone, and never had an issue. I used to use CWM on previous phones and never had issues there either. I just prefer TWRPs UI.
from the moderator
I ll leave this open until the flaming ensues ... then It will get closed....
The Rules to posting here are :
Post respectfully
Post facts or outline points you see as preferred
Do not flame others points
Follow the rules of XDA
You all do that ... this thread will be a good thread...... if not...... it gets closed.
Thanks ~~~ oka1
I should of posted this with the post I started...
The Rom that gave me problems with twrp was darthstalker but was able to flash with clockwork... Maybe it was something I did wrong.... Don't know.

Both are great choice is yours.
As said all phone are not same so sometimes depends on your devices.

My Galaxy S3 is the only phone I've ever rooted and CWM has never failed me. Never used TWRP but I'm happy with CWM.

I've used both and like both, settled on twrp mainly because I find it a little easier to use. CWM looks nicer IMO. I dont' think you can go wrong with either.
I prefer TWRP but with the 4.2+ ROMs I flashed that have the 0 file I have to use CWM.
I'm sure there's something I can do to fix this but I've tried via Google search and have only has luck with CWM. So here I am.

I'm confused. Does cwm not give you the emulated /0 file structure?

Cwm now has a new touch screen have you tried it yet?

Yes. No clue what he's talking about.
I've not been able to find my recoveries in twrp whenever I flash an aosp ROM .
so I have to use cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I have used both, they both seem to work perfectly. I just prefer cwm
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I use twrp because you can name your back up files. That's probably the only reason I use it. It's UI is more friendly because of the buttons and I'm pretty sure you can theme it now, but I haven't tried that feature yet

Yes, that had happened to me multiple times as well, restoring of backups failing. For that reason I stick to CWM for now. Otherwise IMO TWRP is superior.

I do not backup and restore very often, but twice I have made a backup and restored because I was testing a ROM...but both backups failed and left me to clean flash my ROM again.

Well I was able to using a app. Im cursed with having a broke volume down button, so that was my only choice since i couldnt get to download mode without rooting and using a widget to reboot to download mode.
I have to dig around for the app but I know I saved it just in case...
Actrully found it I used a app called framaroot.

Interesting. It's worth a shot OP. Worst case, it fails and you uninstall. If it is successful, you can install mobile odin, then get the latest gb27 tar, and money. While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem . Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Hopefully it works for you. I don't see why it wouldn't. Might be more complicated but it worked for me. but of course YMMV. Just follow what jdsingle76 said you you'll be good to go.
