I wanted to fully encrypt my phone but it just resets itself after trying to do it. I did a search and people say it's because phone needs stock recovery to do it. I'm on stock D85510L_00, using AndroidnowHD 1.6 mod. Does anyone have the stock recovery so I can flash it with flashify to encrypt my phone?

Hello...anyone have stock kernel for ATT i927? Thanks.
2.3.6 upgrage is only on AT&T i believe..
and only available through OTA...
So if you are an AT & T Customer swtich back to AT&T Stock kernel and ROM and do an upgrade..
I just installed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=806478&d=1323125030 and tried the update and it still didn't work. Is this the stock ATT kernel?
I think the problem lies in the recovery image. The update may be relying on the original recovery being intact (not ClockworkMod or any other). Thus, it may not be possible to update without having the original recovery in place. I have CWM recovery and the rooted kernel installed and cannot install the over-the-air updates. When I restart the phone after it's downloaded, my phone reboots into CWM and that's it. Rebooting into the OS afterwards gives me the message that the update failed.
While in recovery, I delved a bit into the filesystem using ADB and saw that the update files are there (this thread has a bit of what I'm talking about), but I don't think CWM knows what to do with them, therefore the update fails.
Are people without CWM having this problem? Furthermore, is there any way to return to the stock recovery if this is, in case, the problem?
Could you not use Odin and remove the CWM? Reflash a kernal without the CWM?

I never installed or used CWM. Is CWM something that gets installed with the rooted ROM? The only app I noticed installed with the rooted ROM was superuser and I deleted it. When I run AVG I still get the warning that my device is rooted, but when I type "su" in the emulator it says denied...is there something else I'm missing? Thanks.
CWM Recovery is what's installed if you have ever followed this guide. It's separate from the kernel and the ROM. On most phones, it's installed from ClockworkMod's ROM Manager, but we have to flash it via Odin. It replaces the stock recovery, but offers more features (such as the ability to flash ROMs from the phone itself, instead of having to use Odin on a PC, as well as allowing for full, or nandroid, backups of the phone).
I am ATT and I updated after I rooted with no problems. Some people reported that the update will fail if you're battery isn't mostly charged.
CWM won't be there unless you specifically installed it.
I would be interested in this too. I have been unable to get the update to go through after having flashed another ROM.
Rooted with the "no tripping flash counter" method and installed TWRP afterwards so that I can have backups of my phone.
Now, from what I understand, I won't be able to flash the eventual OTA update to JB without having the stock Samsung recovery installed.
The simple question then : how do I get back to the stock recovery ?
The more complex question : is there a way to flash the stock Samsung recovery without a full wipe ?
The stupid question : does flashing the stock LH1 ROM (no root, no nothing) via (mobile) Odin also flashes the stock recovery or is it something completely appart?
Thanks

Flashing the non-rooted stock ROM will restore everything back to stock but also wipe your data. In the 3e Recovery, you have to Reset and Wipe Cache or else it hangs on the boot logo, but I wouldn't recommend the mobile Odin, use your computer.
That's how you get the stock recovery back. Simply flashing a stock kernel and not wiping anything won't do it.
To flash the stock recovery without wiping, you would need the .img for it, and load it the way you did when following the root no trip install, but I've not actually seen anyone do that yet, so I don't know is the .img available...
My recommendation is to wait until 4.2 source hits, leaks, whatever, and stay custom... Patience...

That's what I was thinking of doing ... thanks for your clear answer though! :good:
I went back to odin to get a fresh of my gs3. I did the 4.1.1 update and now i have an issue.
I can't seem to install any recovery on my samsung galaxy s3 in order to root it.
I have tried just about all the downloadable clockworks out there and even tried twrp...its no go. I do not know why this is happening because I never had this problem before when rerooting my gs3.
Any one faced this before? suggestion?
You need to flash recovery via odin.
If you want just flash root66 lastest firmware which is in rooted version too.
Stock recovery is overwriting your custom recovery. Need to access recovery mode after you flash, but before the device can boot (so that the custom recovery can disable to automatic flashing script).

I am not quite sure what you are saying here about needing to access recovery mode after I flash...I flash the clockwork recovery mode and when i go to access it, i only see the stock.
I i reflashed odin again and decided to root using 4.0.4 ics...now it worked..I guess we can't flash over 4.1.1 anymore?
anyway, thank you both ^.^
The problem is with the newer roms, when your phone boots, your custom recovery is overwritten with stock recovery. This operation is done with a script that comes with the newer stock firmwares - it's built into the startup procedure. So when you flash a custom recovery with Odin, you need to drop to recovery mode before the phone ever gets a chance to boot into the OS, so that the custom recovery can disable this script. If the phone boots, it will wipe out your recovery. Do you understand now?

Oh now that make a lot of sense. So I was not suppose to reboot before going into recovery with 4.1.1...will keep that in mind next time!
Even though you're rooted, flash the 4.1 root66 in Odin. You don't want to go from ICS to JB via recovery, it doesn't flash all partitions. After you flash root66 in Odin, you will already be rooted. Then you can just flash a custom recovery.

If I remember correctly you can still root normally on the later builds, you just have to pop out you battery after you flash, don't let it auto-reboot, then you can put the battery back in and get to clockwork recovery.
im sorry if this has been asked before. i was very hesitant to post but ive been trying to resolve this issue for 2 days and browsing and reading as much as i can with minimal results. i am trying to update to 4.4 from 4.2.2. i initially had a hard brick but was able to restore life with the img file but am stuck there. it boots into paranoidkangdroid sometimes (which is the rom i used before it hard bricked but not the one on the img file i created...weird i think). i think the more reading i do the more confused i get. im not sure if i have to flash to stock to get the ota, or whether i can just flash a 4.4 rom. im not sure what other information i should provide. thanks for any help and again, sorry if this is inappropriate.
Does your phone boot into download mode? If it does, flash a custom recovery and custom ROM to at least get your phone into a working state.

i was finally able to get some where!
i used this method to restore my phone to 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
what steps do i have to take now to update to 4.4 and flash a custom rom?
do i first need to flash a 4.4 bootloader?
Personally, I prefer cwm over twrp.
Just copy a custom ROM to your external SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, data, system, install ROM, reboot.
Depending on the ROM you install, you may have to update your bootloader and modem.
I was using CM13 on my zenfone 2 but then I switched back to stock ROM(lollipop) but the thing is that the recovery did not chamge ...I'm using twrp recovery and I want to get back to stock recovery.... And I also want to relock the boot loader is there any way of doing that???....tnx a lot.
Another easy option would be to flash SuperZen rom with twrp. It is a stock rooted rom without all of the bloat.
