I recently upgraded to 2.3.5 and would like to root my phone to remove crap apps. Is there a simple, one click method to make this happen?
Thanks in advance

Nope. One clicks don't work on 2.3.5. You need to use Odin to install CWM 5.027, then pull the battery before it boots, power up into CWM first then flash a custom GB ROM.

Why not just have him install the gb3.tar kernel instead of "pull the battery before it boots" much easy and less fearfull.

Does that have clockwork in it too? Usually I say uncheck reboot in Odin but then you still gotta pull the battery and pop it back in then boot to CWM. Didn't mean to be scary..lol!

No but it qbkings tutorial he says to flash the kernel first.... then flash Cwm just saying it would be less chance of error. Something in the stock kernel has a script that searches for cwm and causes it to delet after the first boot anyways.....

Exactly! And no worries about it overwriting recovery as long as you flash a custom gb rom (there is a mostly stock one if trying to stay stock) as the kernel will be included with the rom... don't let biggorn scare you... its not scary to pull the battery after odin ;-)

There are videos in the General subforum. Search for qbking77's videos in the stickies in the top and there is also a thread with videos on How to root the OTA EI22 or Google update.

The Odin kernel trick worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the help, my Epic is now rooted and has superuser access. The primary intent of this project was to remove all of the crap-ware and now that that is accomplished I have to ask...now what? What other things should I look at to make it faster and better?
Thanks again.

Flashing a custom rom.... and a custom kernel.
Suggestions: legendary 2.2 and the samurai or shadow kernel
MarcusantRom revival v2..... just go through the android development forums to see which rom you'd like to use. Just be careful what your trying to download thought. If your Rom is BML or MTD then you have to download that type of kernel.

U don't even have to pull out the battery is instantly boots up into cwm that's what happened to me when I got my replacement that was already on ei22 I just connected to odin and flashed the latest cwm and had a rom already on my sd card so I just flashed the rom when it opened cwm for me
Its very easy and no worries and if it doesn't open cwm its not like your phone will brick or anything u just need to try again. To flash a kernel would be easy too

Some phones didn't boot into clockwork. They hung at the black screen. Remember every phone is different so those of us post answers that try to cover every possibility. Great for you that yours booted into CWM...go play the lottery now...LOL.

qbking77 has a 2 part video on it that is very step by step. just follow it and you will be fine. from what i remember just 1 extra fie to odin and you need a file on your sdcard. it was pretty gravy. have fun and mistakes are a short odin back to the beginning
edit.
haha forgot there was a second page..... use remember you can go from bml to bml, or bml to mtd, mtd to mtd type roms. YOU CAN NOT JUST FLASH FROM MTD TO BML!!! you must odin back to ec05 and make sure repartition is checked and use the victory pit. happy playing
just remember though... after reading the information on these forums, and you are still unsure or whatever... ask questions, ask questions , ask questions...
Well everything is running great but now Sprint is trying to upgrade my firmware to EL30. Will this do away with my new found rooting and can it be re-rooted if it does?

It will fail to update since your rooted you have to go completely stock to upgrade and once upgraded its the same root process with the exception of using a different kernel.

You can root EL30 the same way you root EI22.

Been looking around and still not sure of how to. I want to update my recovery (non-touch) for CM10.
On their website theres a link for recovery 6011.
I am runing on 5.0.2.6 (think so, my phone is on the 10 min reboot time now)
Do I really need to update ? And how is it suposed to be done.
Thank you.

While, its not necessary to update your recovery, its nice to have the latest versions of any software, including recoveries. Bug fixes are typically ironed out in the latest version. In the case of CWM, Darkside scripts are no longer required. To update your recovery, download the zip, and flash it in your current recovery. Then reboot your recovery, or your phone. When you go back to your recovery, the new one will be there.
Make sure the recovery is for our phone

Whats the diff between touch and hard recovery ? Beside the fact that i guess you can use the touch screen
Hey guys, I'm brand new to xda and I recently rooted my phone. I'm considering flashing the AOKP ROM, and I've got two questions at the moment.
1.) I see that it is very strongly suggested to do a nandroid backup of your current rom, and download a "custom recovery" app. I created a backup using the "Rom Manager" app by clockworkmod. My question is, is the Rom Manager considered a custom recovery, or is that something I need to download in addition? The backup I created is already on my phone, and a copy of it is on a spare micro sd card.
2.) Now that I'm rooted, should I still install the software updates from T-mobile? Or is that unnecessary?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Btw I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III
1. If u use rom manager to flash CWR then that is it. U can check it by click on recovery in rom manger
2. No u dont have to updated anything unless the Op stated.
3. I would suggest you to back up yoir imei. Just in case u lose it during flash. Most ppl recommed using Twrp instead of CWR . Becuse ppl report of losing imei usinh cwr. But am not sure. Hope that help

ROM Manager is used to flash a custom recovery. Hit the "download Clockworkmod" button in the Rom Manager app. That's your custom recovery.
Now that you have a custom recovery, updates from T-Mobile will NOT install. You don't need them anyways.

This.
Ignore what the other guy said.
Once you boot into your recovery with some key combo (I don't know what it is for your device) you go into 'backup and restore' I believe its called in clockworkmod and perform a nandroid.

Thank you.. I can still do the back up even if im running custom rom right? running xquisite v50 and will do this first before upgrading to the latest v70.. and i thought a CWM backup before flashing is all i need..
what s TWRP? Is it another form backup? its an app for my phone right?

Mike, the link I provided was to back up your IMEI and nothing else. It is totally independent of backing up your ROM.

I would definitely back up your IMEI just in case. There have been a lot of users that have randomly lost it and they lost data connection because of it. If you have a back up of your IMEI you can easily restore it and get your data back.
I have the TMobile Galaxy s3 rooted on most recent stock firmware. I installed a new font using rom toolbox after backing up firmware with TWRP, so it though. After installing the font I got a message telling me to reboot for changes to take effect. Reboot hangs at the glowing Samsung logo. I have rebooted in to recovery and it comes up with CWM recovery vice TWRP some how? I know I flashed TWRP through rom toolbox but it didn't take apparently. I did get a message that backup was successful. CWM will not recognize TWRP backup. I need a flashable zip for the correct TWRP recovery. Could someone please point me in the right direction for the TWRP recovery file or to get me out of this boot loop. Should I just flash the stock firmware?

I was able to get the team win recovery but the backup I made did not show up there either. I guess I will have to flash the stock rom and start over again. I don't know what I did wrong, thought I had backed up with TWRP. Kinda weird how stock recovery comes back after a new one is flashed. If I reboot into recovery now I get stock after being able to access TWRP and rebooting. Next time I go in I am back in stock? Don't know I will have to find a fix after I get back to stock.

Hi,
I'm having issues installing CWM Recovery on my Rooted GN2. It's the Canadian variant, SGH-I317M.
It does go through the process of flashing the recovery, but never gets to saying PASS in ODIN. When I try to get into the Recovery, it still has the stock Samsung Recovery. It does, however trip the flash counter.
I'm followiing the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988785
This is what I get after flashing in ODIN.
Maybe a bad download? Have you checked to see if it installed? I dont usually recommend this but koush's Rom Manager supports our device now, you can use the app to flash it if your already rooted:thumbup:

I was able to install CWM by following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36201055&postcount=54
But I'm starting to think that it may have been my fault the whole time...
While doing the 3 button combo to try to boot into Recovery, I was using Vol-DOWN, instead of Vol-UP. So I was going into download mode. I'm going to try flashing the CWM through ODIN again and see if I was just an idiot the whole time.

It looks like I was just an idiot the whole time...

I thought of cleanROM but it is pretty stock. I feel if im going to flash any rom i might as well go with something modded and tweaked rather then stock, while keeping most of the note 2 and s-pen features. If i start finding them being a little buggy or draining my battery or anything, ill settle with cleanROM and just flash some custom mods.
i flashed my CWM through MobileODIN. worked like a charm. then i ran into issues with backing up to extSD, which ended up working after i formatted it but i took way longer then onto internal SD.
i know its off topic for this thread..Any suggestions or thoughts on the JEDI X9 and SKYNOTE roms will be great guys. Im all backed up and ready to flash pretty quick here.
I guess you have custom ROM. You must root and rename recovery restore files before you boot to android or stock recovery will be restored.
