I really, REALLY have tried going through the threads and tried to figure this out on my own but I'm just stuck. A while back I got stuck in the boot loop (I guess). It was after a few factory resets. It had been rooted. Now, I can get into twrp but once there I can't seem to find any of the files that I need to flash to get it going again. When I launch the KFU it says the device is "online" and device manager reads "Android Composite ADB Interface". I'm sorry if this isn't enough info but can someone give me a push in the right direction? :silly:
Still vague bro but hey you have twrp do you have fff? If you have those things select mount in twrp transfer ROM zip and a gapps zip to your sdcard but don't place them inside a folder... leave them in the open this is considered the root of your sdcard then select unmount go to install see if you can navigate to the files you put on the kindle if so select wipe, wipe factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik, wipe system, select install tap on the ROM zip flash it when done use the back button upper right... flash gapps then select reboot and system if prompted let it boot.. I suggest this ROM or a cm7 flavored variety.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010
fff is the kindle logo with the blue (fire) lettering, right? v1.4a in the upper right corner. Let's me go into normal, recovery and reset boot mode? The only option that let's me make any progress is the recovery option and that loads me into twrp. The "mount" option in twrp gives me 4 choices, mount system, mount data, unmount cache, and unmount sdCard. Mount system and mount data are unchecked. And if I click the "mount usb storage" button it takes me to a screen that says "USB Storage Mounted -- Be sure to safely remove your device from your computer before unmounting!" and there's an "unmount" button underneath. That's all I'm seeing. I'm not trying to be vague. I just don't know what specifically is the relevant info to give. But thanks for helping out those who can't help themselves
Ok plug to your computer select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of data and system then hit the big button this will mount your sdcard transfer zips select unmount follow my instructions above...
hey man, it worked!:victory: But I'm sure you knew it would. So, is it a bad idea or is it even possible at this point to revert to the factory reset? You know, have it be totally stock? And is it just tricky or dangerous to do factory resets a few times? I like using just the stock kindle version. The kindle app is just a little funky. Or it was the last time I used it. But obviously I love the google suite. I hadn't made a back-up the last time because it was just as easy to download a few of the things at a time from the cloud. So, making a back up would be a good habit and help in a situation like this? Do you know of any good threads re: backups? And superuser is something I don't know anything about but how does it work and where should I learn more about that? Mega MEGA thanks again dude! :highfive:
Yeah if you want the best of both worlds go with rooted stock all the wipes I suggested after backing up first then flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 the standard version not the altrom thats for dualboot your miles from that
What's the process to get to rooted stock? I just made a back up

just put this on your sdcard wipe every thing but your external storage and flash it http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/dow...gned-MD5-569fe6550cfcfba68dabc3d088324a46.zip your external storage is your sd card you dont wanna wipe that
its nothing but rooted stock with playstore and it wont wipe out your recovery and fff in the process
when installing the modaco custom rom, what boxes do I want to have checked? Zip file sig is checked by default and Force MD5 check on all zips is unchecked. Good?

thanks again for all your help thePooch. I've tried installing the rom a couple of times and it either freezes or I've got the following message.
Writing Data - Writing System - Writing Boot then E:Error in /sdcard/Gr9.2-altrom-update-.....
(Status 0)
*Verifying filesystems...
*verifying partition sizes...
Error flashing zip ‘/sdcard/Gr9.2xxx
do I need to just stay with the cm10 rom at this point? what other kind of fun stuff can I do to get this working:fingers-crossed:
I believe Thepooch told you earlier NOT to download the altrom. Check your download and try again.
no doubt. Funny how this stuff works the way that it's supposed to

Thanks soupmagnet yes the altrom version will fail everytime because it needs extra partitions to work which do not and very likely will not ever exist on your device.... Intructions well it helps if they are read I gave very clear ones and I definatly said not to use the altrom........

Total n00b here so bear with me.
This is for AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 after OTA update.
I downloaded CWM recovery "cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar" using ODIN "Odin3 v3.07.exe" making sure reboot is deselected. I got the green pass after it got done downloading.
Here is what I did after that
1) Remove battery
Phone still shows the stock bootloader screen at this point.
2) Unplug usb cable
Phone screen goes dark
3) Put battery back in
nothing happens
4) Hold down vol down, power and home button
Sadly it gives me the warning screen about using other bootloaders and when I press the vol up key, it comes up with the default bootloader.
I am totally confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for any help,
Amish

Thanks for the reply
After I put the battery back on, I press Vol Up+Power+Home Button. I then see a screen with a white samsung logo that appears with tiny blue letters that spell "recovery mode" at the top left corner.
I keep pressing Vol Up+Power+Home Button at this point but the screen just goes black after that. When I release all the buttons, the phone boots back up.
Totally confused.
I am wondering if I have a valid CWM tar file here.

Once you see the screen with the tiny blue letters release the buttons immediately.

My SG3 flies througth that screen so fast its barely detectable, if you are still having trouble getting into the recovery try letting go of the buttons as soon as you feel the vibration when the device powers on. Another trick that helps is to hold the vol up and home buttons BEFORE you press the power button (if you weren't already doing this ), trying to do it simultaneously doesn't always work. You should reach A recovery, whether it be the stock or CWM.
N7100 recovery? That'd be for the wrong phone.

Good catch, I did not realize this. This might be why it's not working. Anybody can point me to a proper CWM file that would work for my device and that I can download using ODIN.

I searched the xda forum with the following seach field "SGH-I747 CWM tar" but what I am getting is just a confusing arrays of ways and different files that I am not sure work with mine or not.
Also I am totally confused about the ways people are downloading the CWM image. The two ways I found so far are
1) ROM manager which seems to be an app
Files has a .img extension
2) ODIN which seems to be a PC executable
File has a tar extension
Note that this is for a first time install of CWM on the phone. ODIN seems pretty easy to use but I cannot locate a repository for the tar files for my device. I assume some other person is compiling those from the people working on the ROM manager stuff.
Totally confusing...
I'll keep digging. That's half the fun.

Cwm is good but I prefer twrp recovery. Try it.
Here is the link everything is explained about how to install it( 2 ways of doing it)
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
I know it can get confusing around here. Just make sure every info you get is in the galaxy S3 i747 thread. And that every file you use is for i747 or d2att( code for our s3) hope this link will clarify things for you

BTW I did not use TWRP simply because most of the help website use CWMRecovery. TWRP is pretty good. I have it running on my kindle fire.
Ok so I finally got it to work. Here are my steps I did:
I have not posted any files or links to them. I don't know how to do it. You can probably search for them.
Note also that these steps can be merged once you are familiar with them.
BTW I also copied some steps directly from some websites <--- Avoid plagiarism here
----------------------------------------------------------
TO ROOT AT&T GALAXY S3 SGH-I747
----------------------------------------------------------
******
Initial Setup
******
1) Install USB drivers for Samsung AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 "ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe"
******
Install CWM recovery.
This is used to backup the phone before making any other changes
******
1) Get into the download mode.
a) Hold Down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 10 seconds.
b) When your phone resets (screen goes off), let go of the Power button but keep holding down the other buttons. Release all buttons once you see a screen that says
Warning!!
A custom OS can cause ....
...
yellow triangle picture.
c) Press volume up
The screen will display
ODIN mode
...
Downloading...
2) Once in Download mode, connect microUSB cable from your AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 to your computer.
3) When the PC is done installing the USB drivers, Open ODIN 3.07 Program. You should see a blue-highlighted box with a number.
Mine said "0:[COM3]"
4) deselect the "Auto Reboot" option
5) Click on “PDA” then choose the file “CWM-Recovery.tar” (This is CMW-recovery 5.5.0.4) and hit “Start”.
If download was successful, Odin3 will say PASS! in green
----> The following section only applies if you did the ATT/Samsung Over the air (OTA) update.
6)
a) Remove battery
b) Disconnect usb cable
c) Put battery back in
<------
7) Hold Down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 10 seconds.
8) When the screen appears with the white samsung logo and the blue letters at the top left corner, release all buttons.
This should get you into CWM recovery mode
9) Choose "Backup and restore"
10) Choose "Backup to internal sdcard"
The phone will start the backup of everything on the internal sdcard.
11) After it's done back up choose "reboot system now"
12) After the phone reboots, connect back the usb cable
13) Copy the folder located in clockworkmod\backup\ on the internal sdcard to the computer.
14) Reboot your phone
*****
ROOT the device and install the super user app
*****
1) Connect the phone to the computer using the usb cable
2) copy the file “CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip” to anywhere on your phone.
3) Perform steps 1 to 8 in section "Install CWM recovery".
4) Once in ClockworkMod Recovery (also known as CWM Recovery), choose “install zip from sdcard”.
5) Next choose “choose zip from sdcard” or “choose zip from internal sdcard”, depending on where you copied the file over to earlier.
6) Choose the file “CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip”.
7) Choose “yes”.
CWM should say "Install from sdcard complete" if everything went well
8) Choose "Go Back"
9) Reboot your phone and your AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 is now fully rooted and with SuperSU app, which is the Superuser app. It should be located in the app drawer
*****
Prevent system from overwriting CWM
*****
After the OTA update from AT&T/Samsung, the system now overwrites the bootloader with it's own on every reboot. To prevent this two files needs to be modified in the systems folder.
To do this a file explorer will need to be installed such as EX file explorer. Allow it super user access in it's settings
1) copy these two files to your computer and then delete them:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
2) Perform steps 1 to 8 in section "Install CWM recovery".
3) Reboot your phone
CWM should still be there next time you try recovery
*****
Update to the latest CWM
*****
1) Download ROM manager through the app store
2) Make sure you are connected to wifi
3) Open ROM manager and click "Flash ClockWorkmod Recovery
*****
Installing ROM
*****
>>>> You need to perform steps in "update to the latest CWM Recovery" before continuing <<<<<
1) Download zip file from the web and store on phone's internal sd card
2) Reboot to recovery
3) Choose "install from zip" and locate your zip file
*****
Install google apps if not located in ROM
*****
1) Move "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip" to phone and install through recovery.
This is what worked for me at the time I wrote this. Hopefully it will help somebody else.
Hello. I'm stuck in Android System Recovery <3e> and i need your help, thank you in advance.
I'm afraid to brick the phone and i'd really appreciate some fast help! I'm affraid the phone could run out of battery even if plugged in!
I downloaded Samsung Galaxy NoteII Toolkit V4.1.0
I installed the drivers
I started to root my phone, I chose the fifth option
"Will either push the selected root file to your Internal Storage, guide you through flashing Custom Recovery via Odin. When the device reboots it will bot to recovery so root files can be flashed + rename the recovery restore files. Or install the zip file via adb sideload after recovery boots. plus busybox will also be installed"

The toolkit told me to press any button when i was in sideload mode. So i pressed and it said "error: closed" then i sayed press any button when file installed ready to reboot (something like that). I tried and i pressed a random key and it said "error: closed" and went back to main menu and i'm still in Android system recovery <3e>
Now, i'm still plugged to the computer. I'd would like to start all over. What should i do? Reboot system now? unplug the phone? Take the battery out? I already tried power + volume up combo. It reboot and goes back to where i was.
I'm afraid to brick the phone and i'd really appreciate some fast help! I'm affraid the phone could run out of battery even if plugged in!
Edit: I took a shot and chose "reboot system now". Everything seems to work fine but Root checkers says i'm not rooted. I would like to know if i can start again without worrying about what happen?

During the step to install" super SU", i copied the the "unzipped" version of the file into the device, and couldn't install it as per video.
So i tried restating the device to try to copy the right file to the device, but now it just stucked at the loading screen (circle & square alternating, not the X screen) and i couldn't power it off too.
What should i do? Help please! Thanks!

Is it still recognised by the computer?
As in, if you plug it in with USB does it appear on your device manager?
Anyway, I would recommend using Wug's Toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389107) to sort you out.
It's pretty straight forward so you should be able to fix it easly.

No it's not recognized by my PC too. So the toolkit won't be useful too i presume?
Any other options? Just wait it out till the battery is dead?

Long press the power button and that will make it reboot, as soon as the screen turns OFF, hold down the volume down button and it will boot into the bootloader, use the volume button to select recovery, press the start button to go into recovery. In recovery (TWRP) click on wipe then do a factory reset. If it is off, press and hold volume down and power button together and that will get you to the bootloader screen.

P/S is it easier to root using that rootkit as per post above?

You're two thirds of the way there. You supposedly have the bootloader unlocked, you can see that when it boots up at the "Google" screen the lock will be unlocked, It will also say unlocked in the bootloader screen. And you should have TWRP installed if you tried to flash supersu. So.. at this point, you need to flash the supersu "zip" in TWRP. Before you start making any changes I would recommend making a backup in TWRP.

What you are using is part of the android sdk (adb/fastboot), the platform-tools folder with the usb drivers moved into it, not really a toolkit. I've never used a toolkit so I can't say a lot about them, I have the complete sdk installed, you were using part of it. Were you able to boot into recovery and do a factory reset?
You should not have followed that guide.
1st: Go to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053. Download the zip. DO NOT UNZIP.
2nd: Make sure that ADB is set up on your computer. To download, go to https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Follow the instructions to install. Open the SDK (should be in C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\, or whereever you installed, it is an execultable file. It should have a little green android logo next to it, and it is called "SDK Manager". It will take a couple seconds to open. Once it has opened, install "Android SDK Platform-tools".
3rd: Move the Super SU zip into the C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools, or wherever you installed the platform-tools. It should be inside the SDK folder. Just paste the zip there.
4th: Boot your Nexus 7 into recovery. Push and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time and boot into the bootloader.
5th: Boot into recovery. Do so by pressing the power button for a while, and eventually it will shut off, as mentioned above.
6th: Press and hold power button and volume down to boot into bootloader. Once in the bootloader, push the volume down button until recovery is selected.
7th: Boot into recovery by pressing the power button.
8th: In recovery, wipe the cache and dalvik under the advanced wipe in the wipe menu. Go back and click install. Click "apply from sideload", or something like that, I forgot the exact wording. Connect your tablet to your computer through a USB cable.
9th: Go back to your computer. Go to C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\ or wherever you installed the sdk. Press shift, and then right click on the folder that says "platform-tools". In the menu, click "open command window here".
10th: Copy the exact name of the supersu zip file in the platform-tools folder.
11th: In the command window type: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
12th: Press enter. The name of the super su file may not be exactly that, but similar to it.
13: Reboot your tablet.
I don't know if you are a noob, or very experienced, so I made this as noob-friendly as posisble, sorry if I offended you in any way. Here are some pictures.
I did manage to boot into bootloader screen 7 the option to start, but same thing happen, it still stucked at the "4 colors" circle screen. Problem is guys i couldn't get the PC to recognise my tablet even in the bootloader screen. What should i do now?

Ok i can boot to recovery mode and get to TWRP. But as my post above the superSU is not in zipped form, what should i do then? And i couldn't copy the zipped verison into the tablet as my PC won't recognise the tablet. Do i choose wipe to start all over again from scratch? (assuming that's what wipe will do?) or browse into subfolder of superSU "i.e. app, bin, etc, xbi" and install form there manually? Dam im confused without knowing any basic of rooting...I thnk you're the closest to understanding where i am now, please help! Thanks!
ok guys i think my N7 got some serious problem!!

Try and do a factory reset. Just remember a factory reset is not a restore and it will not put your device back to the way it was before you tried to root. A factory reset will wipe the cache and data, not the system. Any changes to the system, kernel or recovery that you made will still be there after a factory reset. Go ahead and dot a reset and let's see if that will get your N7 to boot up. And we can go from there.

Yep I'm serious **** now! Any more experts here have any idea? Or do i have to bring it to local mobile shop to get it fixed? Is Google able to help ?
Anyway... getting supersu installed is a non-issue if you can't get it to boot up. When you were trying to download supersu what you were looking for was the installable zip at Chainfires thread."CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu."

Nah i was just using the SuperSU zip i downloaded as per youtube link. The problem is my PC cant detect my tablet and i can't do sh**t!
Any manual hardware reset option on N7?
If a factory reset didn't clear it up you might be able to get away with just flashing the system image. Long pressing won't make it reboot?
I'll tell you how the tablet is right now, and hopefully you have some ideas where to go from here.
Atm, when i turn on and off the tablet.
but when i turn it on, it will go straight to the google screen with lock image at the bottom, then it will just stuck there
I tried going to recovery mode, and it won't come up with TWRP , and after a black screen, it will go back to boot screen
Tried "restart bootloader", did nothing too, just gone back original boot screen .
So now what? Gosh did i just break my brand new N7?

you may want to flash your phone back. so this consist of
1) read up how to access to Temp CWM
2) download and transfer the full rom to your SD card
3) do a wipe all partition and go to advanced setting, wipe cache
4) install zip and choose from external SD, point to that .zip file for the full rom and apply.
5) installation may take 10min or so do not switch it off. after installation you are good as new.
I believe this should solve your problem, normal if things get bricked is due to config file error could be [syntax, corrupted, missing, setting].
Flashing should solve mostly of it unless the file that you previously accessed require root and cwm does not give permission to the file. that is a permanent bricking.
As always, newbie should not try tweaking permission required files, you end up having bricking the device as there might be no solution to recover it due to access rights. ALWAYS have a back up file so you can at least copy the file back and chmod it.

my problem right now is my pc wont detect my phone. Ive already installed the drivers.
Same thing happened to me when I tried flashing the OTA update with my phone being rooted. You have get into recovery mode on the phone and then use ADB to put the original image back to the device to get it back to stock so it will reboot. It worked for me

here is the stock firmware.
https://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
its fine if your phone does not talk to your PC now. copy the firmware to your SD card via other means. [card reader etc]
then try my method of flashing it back to original state, you stated that adb dont work, have you tried the temp CWM method yet?
the main goal is to wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu in CWM, and cache partition and all hard reset.
then you flash back your original file.
hope it works for you.

ive read about the temp cmw method and i cant figure out how to go about it. it says on the instruction that you need to turn on phone before running the cai_dat_CWM. how am i going to do this as my phone will only boot to the asus logo? thanks
just figured it out. I need to boot in fastboot so the phone will get recognized. However, the latest build available on the asus website is still 2.17.40.12. I already have the 2.18.40.12 version. The 2.17 firmware can't overwrite the newer build in temp CWM recovery. Anybody knows where i can download the full rom? Z00A-WW-2.18.40.12?

here is the link for stock but pre-rooted img for latest 2.18.40.12 firmware,,make sure to download Z00A firmware if you have ZE551ML device.. and if I was not mistaken, you may choose to FULL UNROOT in SuperSU apps to go back to stock rom..

3. You can now see the Recovery Menu with Normally appear in other phones also - Reset, Restart, Etc Option.
