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.
hi
im trying to install stock rom using MiFlash: http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=armani_global&b=F&r=global&n=
but after flashing, phone is stuck on mi logo
i used the flash_all_except_storage.bat
however, i can install twrp and flash a custom rom and that boots properly
i want to flash the stock rom without losing my data
is there any way to do so?
i tried to flash custom rom but it failed i need to restore the stock recovery.
the problem is that my phone has a problem in mini usb it doesnt work when i connect it to pc
is there a way to flash rom or recovery without pc
If you have a working custom recovery, you can try to convert the stock recovery to a zip and flash it that way. If you have a working ROM, you can try to use adb commands to push the recovery to the phone.
BTW, this is not the correct forum for your phone.

You can download the stock rom from sammobile.com, extract the recovery, convert to zip, and flash in recovery.
If flashing a rom failed, flashing stock recovery is not going to help because you need to flash a stock rom.
Did you search in the ace forum?

You would need a working custom recovery. You can put a rom into an sd card and flash in from custom recovery.
Short question, I'd like to know if flashing the stock rom of the xperia S deletes the custom recovery ? I had installed twrp recovery but after flashing will I still have it?
Now I have twrp recovery with custom rom but I want to flash stock recovery.Anyone have this?

This device hasn´t recovery partition, stock recovery interface is a part of the stock boot, when you flashed a custom rom it was overwritten but if you already flashed the TWRP installer what you can do now is to flash stock boot or a backup of the boot that you´re using but you´ll lose Magisk or a custom kernel if you have it.
The better is then to set up all included Magisk not to flash TWRP installer.
