what does 'update recovery required for install' mean - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Its been over a year since I installed a custom ROM on my phone, and was about to install one when I ran into something I need an answer for. Below are the install instructions for a ROM and Ive got everything ready to go (everything is backed up, etc) but am wondering what the bold items below mean.
Downloads and installation
+ Download the Latest ROM from HERE for d2tmo or HERE for d2usc
+ Download the GApps from here
+ Copy the ROM to the SD
+ Copy the GApps to the SD
+ update recovery required for install of android 4.4.x
+ Boot into your recovery
+ Back up your ROM
+ Enter recovery
+ Make full wipe "include formating system/data"
+ Install the ROM
+ Install the GAPPS
+ Reboot - the first boot can take up to 2 minutes
+ Recommended to Reboot again after ROM is up for the first time!
+ 2 second to up ! and 1 second to restart or shutdown !
Not sure if this info helps, but Ive got CWM version 6.0.3.1 installed on my phone.
.Thanks!

It means you need to update to the latest version of cwm or twrp recovery or the install will fail.

[Q] Update From 4.2.2 To 4.4

Hey guys,
It has been a long time since I posted.
My Kindle fire is on CM SmoothRom v1.3
Kernel version 3.0.69 [email protected] #1 wed mar 13 12:18:03 EDT 2013
Twrp v2.4.4.0
I'm planning to update it.
1) what rom should I update to ? I'm looking for something fast which doesn't have any major bugs and its compitble with all of the new things.
I was thinking about InFriction ROM v11 or HellFire™KitKat
what do you guys think ?
2) what would be the exact stages I need to take in order to update ?
do I need to do something with FFF or do I need to update TWRP ?
please advise!
thanks in advance.

I haven't tried either of them, currently using OFFICIAL CM11.0 + 3.0.72 Kernel for Kindle Fire [NIGHTLIES] which is working well for me.

for cm11 (and likely the other 2 you listed) you will need to update TWRP recovery to 2.6.3.x or newer
several ways to do that
1. download http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/blaze/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-otter.img
copy to fire's sd card, then install with Flashify
2. Download http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter/recovery/flash-zip/zip-otter-twrp-2.6.3.0-selinux-recovery.zip and install in old TWRP
3. more options in my list Updating Twrp
If Gapps are not included in rom make sure you install a gapps version that works with the rom installed
I've been using http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip with Cm11
edit; Hashcode recommends gapps-kk-20131119.zip
and Verify that your downloads are complete with MD5/SHA-1 Hash Checksums

[Q] CyanogenMod 10 won't boot...

Hi, sorry for my bad english, I speak french.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone a long time ago (6-7 months) and it was working fine (I was able to use "root-only" applications).
I decided to install a custom rom, to get better performance, after getting help from many places, I choose CyanogenMod from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653961
I tried to install it using fastboot in windows, but like the last time (when I rooted my phone) fastboot wasn't working.
So I did it in linux (which worked for me before) and I installed a recovery (CWM). Then I did a backup, I copied the backup on my computer, then I rebooted, then I wiped everything (cache, data, dalvik, etc...) and installed CM10. After the installation, I rebooted, but it won't work!
It is stuck on the "boot screen" for at least 15 minutes.
What should I do?
Thanks!
From what you wrote, it seems you're s-on so after flashing any rom, you MUST flash kernel as well. The kernel is probably included in the zip file you downloaded it's usually called boot.img. You have to extract the kernel and put it in the root directory of your sdcard (same place you put the rom in).
So:
1- Wipe everything.
2- Flash rom (.zip).
3- Flash kernel (.img).
4- Reboot.
Let me know what happens.

Can't you boot into TWRP from the bootloader, using the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select 'Boot to recovery mode'?
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------
Assuming you can, it should be no problem to download a non-Marshmallow ROM of your choosing to flash from within TWRP.

I believe you need magisk.
Instead of using SuperSU try using Magisk, it's more simple has has more features compared to SuperSU.
Also I think the reason why you stuck at the bootscreen is that after you format your phone, that means your phone got no rom/ system. Maybe you can try installing the ROM from the custom one which you can find in the cross device section in Here (Exynos Only).
And each of them has the instruction on how to install Magisk to root your phone
Edit: The video you refered to I believe is for the android 9 version, if your phone is on android 10 then it's outdated for your phone

I actually tried with Magisk.. but it stays the same. Basically I replace stage 2, step 7 with Magisk instead of Supersu.
Flashing only Magisk does not mean I have any system in place correct?

My device was on Android 9 actually.. so I have the exact same version as the video shown. Today I have flashed back my device with Stock ROM on Android 10. Im not sure with the steps Im doing it is right, when should I actually flash a custom rom? Please correct me if im wrong, my stage 1 should be all correct. Stage 2, before step 10 rebooting system, I should actually flash Custom ROM? Because after formatting my device and installing Magisk on Stage 2 step 7, my device still got no rom right?
After flashing back my device with Stock ROM on Android 10, I tried to root my device again with the steps give in video (still failed, device stuck at Samsung Logo again).
Flashing back again with Stock ROM. Tried to enter download mode to start TWRP via Odin.
Then I was given a message "Only official release binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY)" in Download Mode
Now what? Does that mean I can't go flash anymore? :crying:

Yes, the steps that I did on my own by coming from stock ROM:
1. Flash TWRP from odin, disable the automatic reboot
2. If success, then manually reboot to TWRP
3. Then I formated my phone
4. Follow the custom ROM installation steps
5. Done!
note:
- Steps 1 & 2 is basically the same as what you've done.
- If you still want to running the stock ROM, you have to flash the modified one or you'll stuck on the boot screen.
My suggestion is using the Alexis ROM, which is more updated (already on oneUI 2.1), more light, has alot of features (which you can choose in the aroma installer), and built in Magisk. so you don't have to install magisk manually

is it written "Prenormal"?
there's this stage called prenormal where you failed to modified your phone for the firstime, basically you have to wait like 7 days until you can modify your phone again.
and if still failing, it will back to the prenormal stage.
so far that's what i know, correct me if i'm wrong
if not then you can try to flash TWRP to see if it works
Also the thing i realize is that to be able to flash TWRP in Odin you have to finished doing the first time setup on the ROM, idk why but that's what i'm facing back then
Are you on Android 10? If yes, i followed this video.

Not sure what actually happened, but the message is now gone after restart.
Anyway, Do you know this website (https://desktop.firmware.mobi/) instead, can I just use the ROM here to flash my device?
Not sure if I could just do the same, downlaod the recovery and boot img, then flash via Odin?

Not sure what I did again, but the message "Only official release binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY)" is now removed. I just recall I did a restart I think. I tried your video, it didn't work. I end up in the same screen which I now think this is expected case? Because once we completely wipe the phone, the device has no more ROM. So in the video, we only flash back Magisk and Disable Verify.

Never knew that before tho, but if you want to download the official one I would recomend you downlaod from the SamMobile, which I highly recommend and is already trusted by alot of users here, just choose the right model number and country and you're done!, or if you want a faster download then I recommend you to use either Frija or SamFirm which is the same, and both are tools to download firmware from SamMobile.
It will download a zip of firmware, you just have to extract it and flash it by using Odin, also for the CSC file choose the HOME_CSC don't choose the normal CSC,
if you able to get into the normal rom, then you can do the instruction that i give before
hope it works
