Flash superuser or supersu zip from google
And your root is back

I think not... Latest CM10.1 inbuilts Superuser function in Settings and flashing additional su package may cause conflict. IMO the right way is to check MD5 integrity and redownload that CM10.1 package...

[Q] Rom Manager and CWM

Hi, I have my phone unlocked via htcdev. I installed CWM by alquez, but it doesn't detect it in ROM Manager. I have tried going into recovery from rom manager, then rebooting from cwm, still nothing works. Only rebbot to recovery works in rom manager. Any solutions?
The CWM from Alquez is unofficial not supported by rom manager dev i think. The same thing was with samsung galaxy ace , don't flash recovery from manager you can get brick...

1/ Download and put the CM7.2 nightly zip from Alquez on your SD card root.
2/ Go into CWM Recovery
3/ Wipe Data/Factory reset
4/ Wipe Dalvik
5/ Format System from Mounts
6/ Install Zip from SD and choose CM72 Nightly ZIP
7/ Install Zip from SD and choose CM7x GAPPS
8/ When done reboot to your clean CM7.2 install
So, for now, we can delete Rom Manager then?

It's non sense ROM.
I didn't like it too, so I just flashed sense rom.
Anyway, you can install any launcher you like, and use it as default one.
About google account.
That ROM doesn't have anything to do with google's apps, so you'll have to install gapps.
Find it somewhere, latest version is from 28.8.2011 I think.
It's .zip file, just flash it through recovery.

It was in the instructions.
I like non sense roms.Too bad WS is not officially supported by CM.
But maybe now, when most of us have the opportunity to install custom rom, we get full support.

Can anybody help with CWM7 ?
I've tried to load this onto my phone but I keep failing. The app does not load. I cannot access any recovery, albeit standard or CWM. Everytime I try from the the bootloader screen and enter recovery, The phone gives me a Black Screen with a Picture and a Red Triangle in the middle and nothing else happens. I then have to reboot the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something.
Is there a step by step guide to help make this work for me.
I have searched for a couple of days now and I cannot find anything that for me.
My phone is S-ON and Bootloader Unlocked via HTC-Devs.
Any help from you experts out there will be appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

You can download google apps package from rom manager which comes pre installed in the cm7 update.

nee help with gapps for aokp

I downloaded "[ROM] AOKP [UNOFFICIAL] nightly - JellyBean - 4.2.1 - JOP40D - NIGHTLY" (sprint galaxy nexus) and installed the supposed latest gapps with goo manager but as soon as i unlock the phone i get an endless barrage of "unfortunately x has crashed". If someone who has this rom could post a link on the right gapps to install that would be great.
Did you clean install and also did you fix permissions?

First you have to flash the Rom.
Then you have to flash the GApps package.
And then you should fix Permissions.

[Q] Failiure to install cm 10.1 with TWRP

Hey guys,
So im having trouble flashing cm 10.1 or any other rom on my samsung galaxy s3 i747m (rogers)
i have read all the other forums but still cant figure out my problem. i rooted my phone a few days ago and everything worked perfectly, i started out with cwm recovery and i kept getting error 7... when trying to flash cm 10.1 nightly.
i thought at first maybe i have the wrong file but im pretty sure its not the case.
i then updated Supersu, that didnt solve my problem either.
then i deleter cwm recovery and installed twrp with goo manager (latest version)
and now i get failiure to install....
im sure i am going through the right process as i have watched many videos and read the forums
ex: backup/ wipe cache/ wipe dalvik cache/ factory reset/ then install rom / and gapps
gapps works but i am never able to install the cyanogenmod nightly always says failiure to install..
Please help!
This is a bootloader issue. Please check out and carefully look over the information provided at the top of post #2 of the link in my signature.
thanks
Thanks a lot, i got the bootloader file. however when i use ondin, should i load it with PDA or Bootloader?

phone is samsung galaxy s3 version sgh 1747m
android version: 4.1.1
kernel version: 3.0.31-538866
The fail message on twrp comes out maybe 2 seconds after i run cm 10.1 zip.
Just says failiure to install
then i get the option to delete cache and dalvik cache which i had already dont prior to install.
do i also need to format data? it says it completely deletes everything from my phone... im worried it wipes my backup and i have nothing to go back to.

You don't have to delete data I always do to get rid of clutter
It won't wipe your sd card (that option is in advanced wipe). You should always move your backups and important stuff to your sd.

[Q] CM and Gapps version

Hello! I have managed to root my phone, but I got the set up wizard message and the gapps error. After a google search it told me I had the wrong version of gapps. However, when I go to the official gapps page, the download for cm 10.1 only works with 4.2.2 and not 4.1.2. The one for cm 10.0 is for 4.1.2, but on the hercules downloads page, the 10.1 stable release is already out (that's the one I used!). Does this mean I have to run 10.1 without gapps, or downgrade to 10.0 if I want gapps?
Trust me, I have searched for this. Any help would be appreciated.
if you are on 10.1 grab the first one on the page http://goo.im/gapps also double check make sure you have no market installed if you do then you dont need any gapps install everything from the market
Alright
Ok, I'm gonna try that. +1 thanks for you. Man, I'm such a noob. :crying: :crying:

It's circling now...it's been at it for about 5 minutes now...the wait is unbearable!
Circling
It appears to have no end to the blue circling boot screen. I tried clearing cache and factory reset using CWM, no cigar still. Any fixes for this?
The CM version is the 10.1 stable release for hercules.
The gapps version is the 20130301 version.
which link did you flash for the CM what thread point in the right direction where you flashed from ? if you booted up the first flash and gapps were incorrect it shouldnt matter when you update the gapps it wipes the old files just make sure to wipe dalvik/cache and reboot
My Idiocy
I am retarded. I decided to go and unroot the phone and flash a stock rom and try again. I then flashed twrp via odin (which I prefer now) with no problems. But for some reason, no matter how many times I clear everything and try different kernels, the device will just not root. I have tried the superuser zips from the official site, I have tried the superuser from CWM's site, nothing works. Gah. Now what? Am I stuck stock forever?

Just use TWRP to flash whatever (Hercules) ROM you want. Make sure you wipe dalvik, cache, system and data.
Alright, I will try a wipe again, and then flash a custom ROM. If it doesn't root me I will report back with the situation. Thank you for all your help!
Um, just another question before I proceed with wipe and rom...if the ROM is based off of JB 4.2.2, such as Cyanogen mod, will my phone just run 4.2.2 as part of the rom, or will it be incompatible?
EDIT: Never mind...
I love you all forever. It works, and I have gapps running and root access. Thank you so much...I really don't know what to say.

Need help asap

So... I have a note 2 (N7105) and was rooted, using winamlite rom, i then decided today to change rom and downloaded one of the new 4.4 roms, it all went well and everything was fine, i then checked to see if i was still rooted and it said NO, so i was like WTF.
i then downloaded a different rom as i wasnt enjoying the 4.4 and tried to install it, and now im stuck, when i turn my phone on, all that loads up is.......
TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT v2.5.0.0
it gives me options like, INSTALL, WIPE, BACKUP, RESTORE, MOUNT, SETTINGS, ADVANCED AND REBOOT, so when i went into install, thinking i could install the new rom, it says its flashing and then comes up saying failed, it then says.....
ROOT PERMISSIONS APPEAR TO BE LOST, fix root permissions now by swiping, so i tried that and it comes up saying failed.
can someone please help me here as i dont have any other phone to use except this N7105, and i really have no idea what has happened.
Try to wipe data/factory reset ,it might be help .

Which rom 4.4 u are flashing?
If u did those CM/AOSP, did u do a clean wipe when u flash?
I never use AOSP rom, whether that 4.4 rom has new bootloader/partition or not, u might check on their thread.
If no, I guess u can flash back 4.1.2 TWrom from odin, then u can root nd flash CWM/TWRP again.

Try to install latest SuperSU (click latest SuperSU flashable zip on Google search, find [2013. 11. 26] SuperSU v 1.80 - xda-developers, open it and scroll down until you find CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: and download it using Chrome, Dolphin, or Firefox browser.)
After You download it, go to recovery mode and flash all the file You needed (ROM, Gapps, and the latest SuperSU).
It might be help
