I have the stock ROM, hardly modified except root and busybox. My updates download but do not install, saying the device has been modified. That's all fine and dandy, but WHERE does it download the update.zip so I can apply it using Mobile Odin? I hate downloading whole firmwares due to a shaky internet connection. Or a way to disable the message about modification?
If you downloaded with a browser look for a folder named download either in internal or on sd.

You can't locate it in routine folder, as it saves in fota folder, and once it failed it may not be available longer there.
Even supposed it will be there (you need to reroot to find it) and find it, it surely won't work with Mobile odin, so don't waste your time.
This can happens when your device is priory rooted, even it can't be solve with unroot
You have to factory reset, even after factory reset it's not guaranteed.
Try this
-clear data from setting - application manager - all - software update (you will find two), after clearing data reboot and check for update
If still not work
-factory reset and check
If still not works
-flash any older rom you have already downloaded with pc odin, then it should work

What do you mean by "priory rooted'?
if you have rooted in past and later unrooted.
Hi all,
Just a question about recovery.
I want to use Clockworkmod (or an other recovery) but i can't flash or root my phone.
I have a Samsung galaxy note 1 and i use "cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.zip" , I love it because i can use it with my sd card and i don't flash or root my device. ¨
I just boot on the recovery stock and make a "update from Sd card"
Is there a solution which already exists for my Galaxy note 2 to have the CWM without root or flash??
This request is for my job, and if a developer want to work with me for find a solution, you can send me a private message...
You can't do it on note2.
Unless Samsung listen this and pm you to share their sign key.
As at presently note2 doesn't allow test sign.

Do you know if it's possible for the Samsung S3 i9300 ?
Nope
It won't work on s3 as well.

Of course.... Bad news for my jobs.
I must use Ultimate Backup Tool for Backup/restore my device... But without root, the backup is not safe and total.
In any case, thank you for your quick response...
Try carbon app sync and backup
best for non rooted device.

I must configure 500 NOTE 2 et 400 S3 with the same config... It's for my jobs.. i can't root the phone
I configure 400 Galaxy NOTE 1 with CWM on a SD card without flash or root...
Just try carbon
Make backup of one (on pc) then restore on other devices. I think it can restore setting (configuration) and applications too, just os will remain same.

I test carbon and it's a very good app, but this app does not backup System param (like energy saving mode ON, config...)
This params are simple but multiply by 800 devices... to much jobs for my little hand.
i think, they have lot of solution for me but not the perfect solution like CWM..
Thanks for your time.
(i can't donate you with paypal...paypal say, you're account can't receive money...)
Giving you idea, I have never tested myself but if you want to work on it.
Get 1 device root, extract data partition from it and make tar file from it. You may flash that tar to other device.
This is my assumption only and you need to further work on it.
Your preferences should save in data only, param is just for bootanimation AFAIK, b'coz you are loosing setting while factory reset, which simply wipe data partition.

It's good idea but when you flash the other devices, the warranty is avoid? And if you have any trouble ith the device, samsung can see that you have flash the phone no?
only flashing custom recovery/kernel can be detected by samsung
VERY GOOD NEWS for me !!!
I'll try to work on it now.
Thank you very much for your advice.
No result for me because, I'm not strong enough in android development.

Hello to everyone.
I am really ready to give up trying to fix the issues that happened after I rooted my Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889V).
Rooted my phone successfully through the procedure described by Chainfire, worked flawlessly, got SU installed. The purpose of the rooting was to get rid of bloatware that took a lot of memory, battery and space. Deleted all prescribed programs, restarted my note and that is where problems started. Obviously, I accidentally deleted something that is related to contacts, messaging and keypad to dial phone numbers. Tried to manually dial the number on the keypad, I got it frozen after inputting 3 numbers (area code) and then black screen appears with the error *Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped* and it goes to home screen. Same happening with messaging. Basically, I lost 2 of the most abilities of the phone to call out/in and send texts in/out. As recommended on some forums here, I cleaned data in Contacts and Contact storage,but it did not help.
I am brand new to this rooting stuff, but it went OK, I screwed somewhere on the step of deleting bloatware from the phone. Lost any idea and hope what to do...My phone is pretty useless now...
Phone data (if it is needed to get an idea what happened and how to fix it) :
Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-T889VVLBMA3
Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Kernel 3.031-861899
Stock ROM
Device status - modified
Please, please, please HELP!!!
THANK You and Grateful!
Do you happen to know what apps you deleted? Actually it would be easier if you just get a log cat of the fc. An app like cat log will do the trick
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
You most likely deleted one of the contact system apps. It's usually better to freeze an app first (I use titanium backup) to see if there are any problems. If you have a custom recovery twrp or cwm you can flash a custom stock based rom that are usually already debloated. If not use odin and go back to stock and start over. Make sure to backup your essential files/pics first. If you odin back to stock everything on your internal storage will be lost.

I backed up everything to google servers through my gmail account, but it did not work, tried to restore it from there but it showed nothing was backed...I do not have custom recovery, so I am going with odin option then? Do I need something else in addition to odin, like original rom T889VVLBMA3? I backed up all my files to the computer HD, hopefully this time I will find files.
In odin does it matter what signature is showing in the top left corner of the screen - I saw T889V, Galaxy SIII , I3171. Do they indicate to which version of Galaxy this odin version was developed? My sorry for these obvious questions, but its better be safe than sorry (for me now). Also, I read on this forum that in addition to restore to stock rom it needs to be cache and factory reset done to get the phone back to *normal* mode and *official*. Do I need to do these as well?
Thank You a lot for providing guidance to me! Very much grateful!

Update 1.
Tried to download and install Catlog from google play, the download stuck at running line for about 10 minutes and then showed *Cannot download due to an error (927)* I guess need to go for a complete restore. What is your opinion?
THANK YOU!
Update 2. So I decided to go for a full recovery to original stock ROM T889_MTC_VVLBMA3 through Odin option v.3.07 It took about 8 minutes, but, Thanks God, it worked flawlessly and now I back to my factory shipped condition Note II
Thank You very much for participation and your advises, much appreciated!
Now I am debating with myself one question - do I need to go for another try of rooting? Major concern is that phone has too many stock applications that I do not like and will never use in m life. What would be your opinion on that matter?
Also, can you point me in right direction how to do it right way? Previously, I used Chainfire method and it worked nicely, should I go with it or there are another ways to do it (I just looking for rooting)?
And one more : there is a description how to root phone by technique from Mr. Robinson and there are links to files to be used with Odin (root66...), but any link that I used for downloading provided me me corrupted 7z archive. Do you know any other rights links to these files?
Thank you aain and best of luck to everyone!
Cheers!
I would recommend a custom rom. Jedimaster and tweaked are very popular here. Both are based off of the stock rom and are debloated. I would download goo manager and use the option to install custom recovery. This will install twrp recovery. Read up on how to use twrp. Its easy once you get familiar with it. In twrp you can make nandroids (backups) of your current rom and install others. Now that you know how to use odin and go back stock everything else should come easy. As far as root I always use odin. Checkout galaxynote2root.com there are great tutorials there and links needed for root and just about everything else.

INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY after you root the phone. Then - reboot and you'll see how it works. You should read upon the very basics of rooting/installing custom roms. Fundamental stuff. Jedi are good custorm roms, I prefer AOSP but you have to use gapps for those.
Download Jedi .zip file and put it on the external card (over 1G) navigate through custome rec, wipe cache/dalvik cashe /system; go back to main menu/install click on .zip file wherever you put it on your external card (preferred to internal) and you're done. I used exynos exploit one click root, and TWRP recovery. It's actually quite simple once go over this first time.
Hi guys I have a question regarding my recent root of my s4 on kit kat. This is what I did, I rooted with cf-auto-root and everything went smooth supersu is installed and working, then I installed twrp 2700 amd did my 1st nandroid backup and included efs in the options in the backup. So I copied over the whole folder to my external sd to make space for a titanium backup but titanium is telling me that it cannot continue due to not having sufficient space for the whole backup. Then I tried making titanium backup to my ext. Sd but it wont allow it cause the folder is not writable or something like that. So when I try to delete the twrp folder from the device I cannot it doesnt allow me to erase it not with the my files app nor with the es file expl. App.
Soo....
1. I cannot backup with titanium because not enough space. Also I cannot make titanium backup files to my ext sd.
2. I cannot erase twrp backup with regular file manager apps includin my file app.
This is what I want to do:
Since I copied over twrp folder to ext sd, now I want to make a full titanium backup so I can factory reset my phone and then restore data from titanium.
Also I want to know:
1. Can nandroid backups be erased and how?
2. Why cant titanium make backup and save them on the ext sd? Is it possible?
If anything else rises I will post it!
Thanks in advanced guys

Really quick thou... it is an app or a flashable file? Cause its coming out as an app from the play store on google results, the reason I ask is because if its an app, after the fix is done do I still need to keep the app in order for the fix to be permanent or I can I delete it after the fix is successful?

You can use the app or do the edit yourself.. You don't need to keep the app after its done

The files were supposed to be there.. If you have custom recovery reflash your ROM, or if you don't then reflash the firmware with Odin.. Or flash a custom recovery with odin and then the ROM

damn man, im so tired of twrp this is so far the crappiest recovery ive seen cause the date and time are impossible to change to an accurate one cause even when you select the timezone it is not your time. also the date when you do a nandroid backup the year is all wrong.
when i recently had the accident that the phone didnt wanna boot i tried restoring from backup but no success, also when you go to the phone settings and try to factory restore the phone through the regular phone settings, it reboots the phone into the twrp recovery then it hangs and start getting HOT and never does anything. also lts say you had a folder labeled "Old Folder" on your internal sdcard/ device storage, if you do a factory restore from the recovery which is supposed to wipe the user data from the internal partition once the phone reboots and open the file manager of choice you will find that all the previous junk is still there including the "Old Folder".
thats my opinion, why i dont like this twrp recovery and the way its implemented into the SGS4.
if you or anyone can please redirect me to a Good, stable, usable, and fully working custom recovery up to date and for the Tmo US SGS4, then please fell free to give me a hand.
and im appologize to the developer of this recovery but thats my opion and why i dislike it cause i already hada bad experience with it.
Thanks in advanced and sorry again!!!
busybox
i think that my recently rooted s4 doesnt have busybox installed. so is there an specific busybox for this model or anyone would do? any recomendations since i saw a couple on the Play Store?
thanks in advanced
To wipe internal data in twrp you select wipe data or internal SD.. That's how it should be.. and for the dates and names, you can rename it to whatever you want so you can put the date yourself.. I actually like twrp.. For busybox try busybox on rail in the playstore

Clockwork and TWRP will flash CM without a pc. Not sure about the other.

if the file is on your internal sd you don't need wifi to flash with twrp. I would recommend making a backup of(nandroid) in case you have problems that require a pc! then your really stuck!
I did backup using twrp, is that considered a nandroid backup? I saved that backup file to Dropbox, had the correct cm11, gapps & SuperSU 2.2 zip files, then I done the dumbest thing & wiped all data including internal storage I guess cause my main device is a RAZR M which has separate sd card storage, so can I use adb sideload when I get back to my PC to install that backup I made?
Thanks for ur help in advance

Since you're stuck in a hospital for a few days, why don't you use the time to read up and learn? Just sayin'.
Yes, a nandroid is a backup made with TWRP or CWM. You don't sideload a nandroid, you restore it in recovery.
So you had CM11, Gapps, and SuperSU on your SD but then deleted everything? Or do you still have them available to be flashed in recovery? If you don't have anything on your SD, boot into recovery and push either the nandroid or CM11/Gapps/SuperSU to the SD. If you don't know how to do that, you use adb push. If you don't understand that, Google it.
Yeah thanks man, I actually deleted all the cache & internal storage thanks to twrp u can do it in 1 go & I wasn't thinking cause I'm used to having an external SD that I would have files like cm11 & gapps so without thinking I hit clear on everything wiping out my all files but I gather from ur statement I can install the backup I saved to my Dropbox
Thanks to anyone who gave me advice though
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
I suppose when I get back to my PC I can just flash Cyanogenmod & be done with it
But I'll definitely keep that backup I made of stock KitKat though
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, download the backup/nandroid from Dropbox, put your phone into recovery and make sure adb recognizes it, then type 'adb push [insert file name here] /sdcard'. That command will only work if you place the backup into the same directory as adb.
Just wanted to say thanks to anyone who gave me advice & report that I was finally able to restore my nexus 7 using the nexus root toolkit
