...but im really confused by it all.
Im not new to rooting or flashing roms etc but im confused with all the different builds and my efs folder and what not.
I came from having a moto atrix and a htc desire before that.
My phone is currently on stock XXDME6 with baseband DMF1 and im in the UK.
Can someone point me in the right direction to be able to root, install TWRP recovery and flash miui v5 please?
Any help would be much appreciated.

For TWRP: HERE
MIUI thread: HERE
Once TWRP installed make sure to make a Nandroid Backup and check EFS partition.
Then you will be able to flash MIUI safely.
The easiest way to root is chainfires autoroot but that won't give you custom recovery you will have to flash separately. Dr ketan has published a gude that is stickied, you can't go wrong if you follow that and dr ketan is always helpful and friendly if your confused

Thanks for the replies.
If i root using CF auto root, how do i flash the twrp recovery?
Is it only roms built using a stock base that i have to worry about the build number then?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
You can flash any build number I think the issue is with the latest modem which once flashed can't be downgraded . There are a few threads on it. If you want to use auto root you can use something like rom toolbox pro or I used mobile odin to flash a custom recovery. Personally I recommend phils touch recovery. I think he has an all in one root and custom recovery package that you just flash with odin

Oh and Ive got the latest modem I think so I'll just have to stick with that one

If I remember correctly you can downgrade to an earlier rom as long as you reflash your modem

Do I need to root my phone to flash Stock roms via Odin? I want to flash the Stock rom and I wonder if it gonna lose the IMEI? thanks guys
Nope. But you do need root to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. There may be another method but im not familiar with it at the moment.
Anyway you can easily dl one of the stock firmwares from samfirmware.com and install using odin. Provided you just want pure stock.
And you shouldn't have to worry about losing your imei flashing stock with odin. I dont recall that ever hapoening. Besides, imei issues have been solved. Just check the dev section for info.

thanks for your reply
btw, I'm on stock with latest Tmo update now. Let say I want to flash stock without that update (stock before the update). how does it change my stock recovery? is the recovery still the stock with latest Tmo update?
I dont really understand how the stock recovery works. after I apply the update, is the update applied to the stock recovery too?
As far as I am aware it will rewrite your stock recovery back to whatever version you are installing as well. So long as you use odin and a full firmware file from Samsung.

Only time I had issues with it not working was when I dun goofed my root and I think the issue was I didn't have busy box.
make sure that is installed. Also make sure you are rooted first..
Other then that in detail say what is happening.
Exactly the same as cwm. Except all wiping option are put together in the wipe menu, you can select multiple file to flash on after another and fix permissions is in the advanced menu.

man oh man ,, for some reason i can never install cm10 on my galaxy s3 i747m rogers (att) i tried cwm and twrp both said failed whyyyyy is this happening lol
thank goodness i have backups
can someone tell me how come i cant do this, my galaxy already rooted with superuser rootuscanada file ive and my phone is unlocked what is left
???
Exactly what error is it giving you?
I just picked up my s3 yesterday and was receiving an error 7 with both twrp and cwm. Turned out I needed the latest version of cwm (I picked touch) located
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager to be able to successfully flash the latest cm nightly.
I would try updating to the latest cwm... worked for me.

The newest version of TWRP, 2.3.X, isn't supported by all ROMs yet. They made a ton of backend changes to improve performance. And I'm guessing CM hasn't included the new update-binary in their builds.

Which way do u recomend to root it . are there different ways to root some of which more friendly with custom roms ?

I been using the latest version of TWRP and flashed today's CM10 with the KT747 kernel. So, it is supported with non problems here.

Good morning you all,
I have my son's s3 on rooted stock mb1 at the moment.. was trying to update a kernel and it doesn't seem to be flashing.. the kernel name stays the same in the about phone screen... I also tried to flash the hotspot mod and it doesn't show up in the settings after flashing.. it's as of twrp isn't flashing fully.. it's says success when flashing but didn't seem to complete.. I'm thinking I may just try to update to the latest stock and go from there.. any ideas on the flashing and why things wouldn't be sticking?
Thanks

It would be very helpful to know the answers to these questions:
1. How did you attain root?
2. What recovery are you using?
3. What MB1 stock rooted ROM are you using?
4. Which kernel are you trying to flash?
5. did you check the MD5 code in the zip you downloaded?
Thanks
I obtained root using the tool kit..
I am using twrp for recovery.
Stock mb1 deoxed Rom.
Trying to flash updated optimized stock kernel..
Also retired to flash the hotspot fix zip..
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Yes.
I'd return to 100% stock and then obtain root -not- using the toolkit.
There have been lots of issues had by those that utilized that method of rooting.
First, unroot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
re-root:
follow this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEVDgjTTdg&list=PL7011CD883D5201B8&index=12&feature=plpp_video
make sure to use the newest version of CWM (6.0.3.1) I am using touch, it works well.
EDIT: the tar file available for download (that the video talks about) should contain the latest version of CWM
Good luck
If you're just flashing a kernel you should wipe Dalvik and cache. That could be where it went sideways.

I am really scared of bricking my phone and wanted to ask xda to clarify and help me out putting a custom rom on my phone. I have had custom roms on my optimus v and htc one v but never a samsung device and im scared hearing about these bugs that brick your phone and whatever odins are. Can someone give me a guide to root/put a safe recovery on my phone then explain odins? Htc devices have nothing like these sorry if this thread was pointless, if anything just point me to a thread thanks

Rooting is rooting. Once you're rooted you can flash whatever you want. Just follow the guides and you'll be fine. If you figured out how to root htc, this is a breeze!

Yes, through odin, but if you want to flash custom roms, use el26 custom recovery. Roms come with their own kernel, some custom. But is you are rooted, and want to stay with your jb stock, you can flash agat's or garwynn's custom kernel, both have cwm.

I'm assuming you're trying to install CM 10.1. If your have ics modem, flash el26, reboot into recovery, flash rom, gapps, modem, reboot, profit

So i can flash this el26cwm recovery/zip kernal in recovery? And then just a Fl26.zip [Ics modem] in recovery aswell? I think i saw somewhere that CDMA cannot flash modems through recovery.. MobileOdin does not work my GS2. {VM]

Mobile Odin can not flash modems anyway, and yes, you can flash el26 cwm in the recovery your have now, as long as its zip format. Boot to recovery, flash el26, reboot into new recovery, flash rom, gapps, modem, reboot, enjoy.

You do realize that in your last thread you was told to give more info and yet you post another with the same thing. What boot loader? What kernel? What have you done so far? Are you rooted? Did you upgrade to 4.4 and then try to downgrade to 4.3? More information of the few guys who do help are just gonna ignore you.

TWRP's website specifically says that goo doesn't work with the Note 3. Download the 2.7 recovery and push it with odin.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/198
"Goo manager has been removed due to incompatibility issues with bootloader. Please install by one of the next 3 methods."

No need to Google . the answers are right here. In original development you have both working recoveries.
