No root No recovery? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I accidentally flashed a ROM update with no ROM. Odviously nothing booted up. I then was able to get into recovery and flash cm ROM I rebooted phone, but now I have no root.
I tried installing a superuser app that didn't work.
Is there anything I can flash, install?
I have no access to a PC. And can't boot into recovery.

If by that u mean volume, power and home button. No it didn't.I tried booting threw ROM manager and it detects my recovery, but doesn't do anything.
Is there a way to flash a ROM threw download mode without a PC. I remember the Evo was capable of doing it threw bootloader.

Do you want to get root? Or flash a rom?
To boot into recovery it's power+home+vol up

I thought you had to enable root under settings? It has been a while since I've used Cm, but I remember they disabled root access by default . It seems like he can still get into recovery.

I had root access and I'm currently running a 10.2 nightly of cm 4.3 with a few glitches. So I want to flash a 100% working ROM. I can't boot into recovery with any app due to the fact it requires su permission and I have no binaries according to su. I cant get into recovery either using 3 finger method the Samsung logo appears with the blue words on the top left, but it doesn't do anything after that. ROM manager shows my recovery as twrp so I'm in a pickle....lol
And no on turning on root in settings.

Then you need to find a computer to flash recovery again via odin, otherwise flash a rooted rom via odin.

OK so its impossible without a computer...Damn. Thanks for ur help I really appreciate it.
Last question I used Odin to get root, since I'm on a 4.3 ROM, can I still use the exact same method?

You can use odin to flash recovery and then you can flash the root.zip it should work. But I would use odin to flash to a stock rom first.

You can flash recovery without a computer.
Download the recovery image file, rename it to rec.img
Go into terminal emulator
Code:
su
dd if=/path/to/rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Be very careful when typing the second command.

That might be a problem I need to type su and since I have no binaries my terminal emulator won't have su privileges.
Right?

There isn't an option under settings --> developer options for root? At one time, they had didn't options for apps, adb, or both. You would need the both box checked for it to boot into recovery via an app. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not even sure if they still do it this way.
And it is strange that you can't boot in recovery. Instead of the power off, then hold volume up, home button, and power....have you just tried to reboot the phone and when the screen goes blank hold the volume up and home? I've had luck getting into recovery by that.
Plus, if you are running CM, there should be a reboot option for recovery when you power off. Reboot --> recovery.
Last idea, have you tried to download goo manager from the market? That works well with TWRP.

I tried goo and that didn't work.
Cm does have the reboot options, but it had to be turned on. Developer options doesnt show up under settings, but I remember there was a way to turn it on. I went under "About phone or Device" clicked on everything like 10 times and I forgot which 1 it was, but I unlocked developer options. Turned on reboot menu. Rebooted phone into recovery and although it took a while I got into recovery. Flashed a new rom and I'm back in action.

Thank u guys honestly. I could not have done it without u guys.

Glad u got it

U definitely missed it. Go to the original development section the cm 10.1 thread and I think it was 10 pages back from the last page. They posted an EARLY preview. Had a few glitches but nothing to major.
Its the first post on page 657. A few post down are the gapps.

[HOW-TO] CMW on LTE Version through Rom Manager

If you have any questions, concerns or problems, please post in the CDMA post because I will no longer be checking here.
theboo7 said:
This is a guide on how to get ClockWorkMod onto your LTE Galaxy Nexus through Rom Manager
Go to market, search "Clockworkmod"
Install Rom Manager*
Open up Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
A pop-up will come up called "Confirm Phone Model," of course choose "Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA"
Now let it install etc, then with a File Manager** with SU access, Go to system, click "Mount R/W"(if using Root Explorer) and then scroll down until you see "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"
Close out off your File Manager and go to Rom Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery"
There you go
You should be able to boot into CWM
* Free version works
**I used Root Explorer

Could be because you are on a custom ROM. I am on Android Revolution HD and I don't see it at all as well. I also can directly boot from ROM Manager directly into CWM. I never touched this file at all and I never looked for it.

Then you would follow the steps in the OP
What are the benefits to doing this final part. Is it necessary? Some say they didn't do this? Now on the Thunderbolt I didn't have to have rom manager installed and I could still boot into recovery. Is this the same? If I rename that file (which is in my system directory) will I be able to boot into cwm at any point?
Thanks I have done everything with the exception to this. Wondering if its necessary?
Edit: I guess I should have waited for a response because I went ahead and followed the steps in the OP and it came up with an android with a red triangle. Pulled that battery and booted up ok. Any info I need to be aware of? I wasn't able to boot into recovery from rom manager at first. I can now boot into recovery after reflashing CWM recovery but cannot do anything once I am in it?

Flashing through ROM Manager is just a simpler way to get CWM. And I'm not sure why you would have gotten the red triangle, unless you didn't rename/delete the file in system. And I haven't heard anyone say the couldn't do anything in recovery, so I'm not sure what the problem is there.
When I try and change the file name it says insufficient permissions??
I have root...
Cwm doesn't stick though. I always have to boot reflash recovery and then boot into recovery through from manager..
Any suggestion?

Your file manager doesn't have root privileges, so until you rename/delete the file you won't be able to reboot into CWM

This. I was using astro but changed to root explorer and changed file name. Turned phone off and went into fast boot and then recovery and it worked.
To be clear, I was able to go into recovery before. I would have to open from manager, reflash cwm and boot into recovery.
I was just unable to power phone off and boot into recovery manually. Now I can.

Thanks for the reply. I did rename it the file to .bak following the script to the t! I don't know what happened either. Since then I deleted the file entirely this time and reflashed the cwm seems to work a little better than before an now I can do things in cwm recovery. Hope nothing else goes crazy.

Yeah, that file can cause problems with CWM on LTE, although it's a quick fix, I'm sure it's being worked on for future editions. And since you've been able to flash things, when you use the volume keys to high light options, does it skip one or two every now and then? That's only problem I seem to be having.

what i know is ... you can you Volume up + home button+on.off button to go to recovery mode
so when you press all 3 together and see Samsung Galaxy on device .. release them... and it will go to recovery mode...
for me it works like that.
i am newbie to Android... so i am telling you this from my personal information.

Well you can only get into download mode. So you need to install a custom recovery using odine. CWM is short for clockwork mod recovery. Find a how to and install cwm using odine.
Another custom recovery is TWRP. I like using TWRP. Has a nice touch interface.

If you have a computer download a Rom of your liking then install meaning find the file on your sd card then flash it? I recommend something close to the stock Rom then try new ones btw make a back up of your stock rom!!!!!! P.s. Look at YouTube for tutorials on how to?

To be more clear.
You said you can't boot into recovery. You can only boot into download mode. What download mode means is that you have to install cwm from a computer using odine. You connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable. Boot your phone into download mode. Open odine on your PC select the cwm odine file and push it to your phone. Disconnect your phone from your pc. Then you can put a ROM on your exSDcard and boot into recover and install the ROM.
Do a search on xda on how to install cwm using odine. I'm not going to write how to do it here cause you can search and do it your self. Good luck

It does not. it will reboot once after it tries to boot in download mode, the goes into normal boot. Does cwm have a download mode? i can get into CWM recovery, so if CWM doesent have a download mode i think that would explain it. how would i finish the root if it didnt fully root?
If you can get CWM recovery, just flash the SuperSU package. You can find the thread with a quick search, but the files are available through my Sig. Or you could flash any of our roms as they already have root.
That is odd though...

Just untick "Auto-Reboot within odin & flash , then reboot manually power+volume up.
Another thing: I can't use odin because I don't have a computer. There's an app called flashify that installs recoveries but it still only works with 2.6.3.0. Even installing the latest version from goo manager doesn't work.

I think I will need to install TWRP with Odin -- goomanager isn't working for me. It SAYS that it has installed TWRP, but every time I try to get into recovery all I get is the standard Android recovery.
My question, please is this: where did you get the tar file for TWRP, and which slot did you use with Odin? Was it the PDA?
Thanks very much

I got mine by going to the twrp site, but I admit it wasn't exactly easy to find. You can know you're getting the right version of TWRP if you download CPU-Z from the play store and check the third page that says system; the model name gives you the store citric name you'll look for when you go to the TWRP site, but the link I gave you is for the lt03wifiue .
Have fun!

If your Odin says PDA then you need to get the latest version. There's only one spot you can use in the newest one...

I've tried odin several times to no success.Alos tried gooim or whatever its called. The tablet always goes back to the android recovery... Ive read that it can be done, also that it cant be done. So am i wasting time, or just screwing something up.... Any help would be greatly appreciated...
The easiest way to install twrp is to use goomanager. Hit menu and hit install open recovery

Goo manager doesn't work on our tablet for install of twrp.
Use the link four posts up for the twrp. Also, just check your SOC with CPUz, to make sure it's actually the right version of twrp for your tablet. But Odin is the way to go.

Power off your device, then press Volume up + power button. Release the power button when you see the "galaxy note 10.1 2014" screen

I'm hoping maybe someone could enlighten me how to get TWRP to boot into TWRP. I had CleanRom installed and everything was working with TWRP. Stupid me I thought I could help battery life by doing a Cache and Dalvik Cache wipe. Bonked my P600! I had to ODIN a new firmware, rooted and tried to get TWRP installed. I've tried the ODIN Tar method 2.6.3.1, Tried with a TWRP zip file and Goo Manager to install TWRP and none worked. When I go to recovery I keep getting the Android System Recovery. My head is banging on my desk at the moment. Would anyone have an idea how to get TWRP working on my rooted and now stock P600? I so want to get Clean 2.0 back. :crying::crying::crying::crying:
A big Thanks in advance for the help.
Solved: I'm not sure why but I tried ODIN again and TWRP install. WEIRD

[Q] How to root and install a recovery

I cant seem to find an updated guide with files to root and install a custome recovery on the sprint note 2 with 4.3 can someone help me find a link or get me the files etc?
Thanks
Recovery
I went to cyanogenmods website and ran the installer as directed. That installed cyanogenmod and rooted the device automatically, then you can download and flash any of the other custom ROMs on this site.
I rooted 4.3 with allinone toolkit clicking older variation and worked fine

My note 2 is blocking the cyanogenmod installer. It says unartherized access to a secured area on your phone without authorization has been blocked.
I'm stumped just got this phone and it is a pain to root

Do this
1. Boot into download/bootloader mode.
2. Connect to pc and use odin to flash twrp. Make sure you uncheck reboot and flash twrp in the pda slot.
3. Once flashed pull battery and disconnect from pc.
4. Press vol+ menu power buttons while inserting battery (yes it is difficult but can be done)
5. Now in recovery perform factory reset.
6. Flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36388145
7. Now reboot it will act/look weird but dont worry this is normal. It will reboot and take a long time to boot.
Now you are on stock mc2 (no knox anymore). Root using cf autoroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33278464
Now use odin once again and flash your recovery again. Now you are rooted and have a custom recovery. Oh and you have a working phone again.

Before I do all of that...I discovered I can boot into TWRP and updated it to the newest version. Then I installed the cyanogen nightly onto the phone. Everything seemed to be working ok except I couldn't get any phone signal but wifi worked. I tried loading the dirty unicornes rom and the same thing happened . I then flashed cm 10.1 and the phone worked for calls but the asop keyboard kept crashing and couldn't login to the wifi network. I tried several installs with factory resets with the same results. If I follow the directions you listed will I be able to install these roms and the phone work for calls or am I missing another piece of the puzzle?

Look for it in the development thread. The op will have a link. Use 6.07.9 version and make sure it has a zip extension not md5.

There is a newer one philz_touch_6.15.4-l900.zip would it be better?

Thanks for the help again!
