KINDLY HELP ME....!!

There is no need to root a phone before installing a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP.
I would use TWRP in place of CWM as CWM is no longer being developed.
If you install Cyanogen recovery, it will replace your existing recovery. I find TWRP to be more flexible that Cyanogen recovery.
LP Cyanogen is cm13 and you should use TWRP to install cm13 ROMs. The AT&T s3 i747 is also known as the d2lte and d2att. ROMs designed for either of these two devices will work on your phone (although maybe not 100%). There is no official CM13 ROM for the s3.

@audit13 , just a quick question ; (because am certainly not as up to date with the wonderful s3) but isnt cm13 MM ? or am i wrong:what:

My bad, yes, MM is CM13, LP is cm12.1. Thanks for catching my mistake
I guess I'm spending too much time bouncing between the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Note 3, s3, and s4 forums!

I came across the different threads about bootloader...i have the bootloader version (I747UCUFNE4).Is that safe to flash the CM-12.1-20160212-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip on my above specified device without bricking my device????

Cm does not touch the bootloader or modem so you should be fine but there is always the chance the something else goes wrong.

somethng what??????????

Power failure, corrupted file, phone becomes disconnected during s flash, etc.

how is it that i use CWM touch recovery to flash above said lollipop and its image....?is it ok for me to do so???can i choose both the above said cm-12.1-20160212-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip and cm-12.1-20160212-NIGHTLY-d2att-recovery.img at same time to install lollipop on my d2att??
I am saying CWM touch recovery because TWRP manager hangs installing the latest recovery on my device may b it is because of i use ROM manager firstly to install the latest CWM recovery?
please give the guide of simple steps on this thing......
waiting anxiously for your kind reply.....!!:fingers-crossed:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65292709&postcount=2

Sorry again but can i use CWM touch recovery to flash CM12.1 and gapps from the micro SD card????
above you said that CWM is not works with CM13 but i wanna use CM 12.1.
you should use TWRP to install cm13 ROMs
Click to expand...

@ audit13

i believe what @audit13 said was CWM is no longer being developed. twrp recovery is preferred by most people because they are still making it better. CWM hasnt an update in years.
also if you currently have cyanogen recovery it will be wiped by flashing either CWM or twrp.
yes you can use CWM to install CM12. but again ; twrp has more options and most people prefer it.
so ..... i personally would use twrp to install anything before i used cwm.
remember to make a backup of current setup just in case something goes wrong so that you can still have a working phone.
"err on the side of kindness"

Thanks for the guidance....because of both of you i able to flash the lollipop on my D2att without damaging or bricking...thanks alot again @audit13 @mrrocketdog :good::good::good::good::good::victory::victory::victory::angel:

@wajihbhat , that is awesome! p.s. love the screensaver.

[Q] Root for SM-P605 kitkat

Hey
I been looking in the forums, but I havent be able to finde if there is a root for kitkat.
Do anyone know if that is one and if so, can you plz link to the thread
Thaning you in advance
Yes: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu
Although I have a p600 and his method worked fine for JB and KK.
Don't use the P6700/601 cf-autoroot on your P605. It will brick it...
The old cf-autoroot is for JB and doesn't work on KK...
Go to the Original developement thread and look at the TWRP 2.7.0.1 thread. It will supply answers and links...

Root p605kitkat 4.4.2
Hi All, hope I'm posting this is the right forum .Im quite a beginner in Android terms so please be patient with me ...
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 sm-p605 and use it while travelling , i dont have a computer with me most of the time so i rely on the tablet for most of what i do , yesterday i have updated to android 4.4.2 kitkat , whitout knowing i would loose full access to my 32 Gb SD card...well that made me quite furious as most people...so i decided try rooting it , after backing up all my files i used CF Auto Root ( CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605.zip , well that didnt quite work as i was getting
the boot loopwith the message RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING, after much reading i was able to recover the tablet to boot back , no rooting was done but im pretty sure i triggered knox and voided the warranty ....anyway i still want to try getting full access to my SD card, either by rooting it or any other way ,if there is a valid file explorer app without root i am keen to know, or if anyone can show me the way to root this device I will really appreciate.Device Details:
AP605ZSUCNE3
CP: P605ZSUCNE1
csc605OZSUCNE3
KitKat 4.4.2
With all do respect TWRP 2.7.0.1 does work on 4.4.2
I have it working myself.
Now To gain root on 4.4.2, install Autoroot - Chainfire for the SM P905
Then search the forums for a P605 recovery (Its somewhere here)
Youll get full root with original stock recovery. Then flash TWRP 2.7.0.1 and then youll be fine.
Remember the current TWRP version on the main post isnt the correct version...Further into the thread there is the correct version.
Need any help. as per always im on Facebook and Am happy to teamviewer in

Mate, you were told cf-autoroot DOESN'T work and will screw things up... Why did you flash over something not working right?
You needed to find the stock recovery first, then flash 2.7.0.1 (not 2.7.0.0) to get TWRP installed. You then flash latest supersu using TWRP. This will root your device and give you a custom recovery..
The only thing is TWRP can't make a backup to the External sd card if you have it formatted exFAT...
Best advice, flash stock rom (kitkat only) again using PC ODIN, try again...

0. If you screwed something up, flashed a wrong recovery, flash the stock rom again. If you are stuck in a boot loop, there is plenty of thread about how to boot into odin mode from there.
1. Download attached TWRP 2.7.0.1, it works with P605. I have it myself.
2. Start the tablet, download SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip, place on SD Card.
3. Reboot into Odin mode, (VolDown+Home), flash TWRP. If your recovery is being restored, don't tick Auto Reboot in Odin and turn off manually after flashing, then boot into TWRP.
4. Boot into TWRP, reset to factory settings. You will be asked if you want Root at some point. I think it's when you reboot, I don't remember.
5. When booted into Android, see if SuperSU downloader app is there. If no - boot TWRP and look around, because you missed something.
If yes, reboot into TWRP again and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip.
Congrats, you are now rooted.

Attached version works with 4.4.2 Nordic.
After you flashed wrong recovery and have "zebra screen", Make sure you flashed stock firmware after that. Don't try flashing anything else before you flash stock.

I understand you. Are you sure you're not missing anything? It might help to flash stock NEE again. In my case I ticked "Update boot loader", do you mind trying that?
Remember, TWRP is VolUp+Home. It should display colored text in the right upper corner on 2014 logo when booting, if it's entering recovery mode.

[ROM][d802] Recovery Flashable PURE STOCK EUR OPEN 80220f (+ root)

Made this from the new 80220f open EUR kdz.
This is the complete LG KK 20f ROM - nothing missing or messed with.
You can flash SuperSU and get root if you wish - your choice.
I provide this assuming you have an understanding of the terminology used below and appreciate that any flashing activity has some risk.
I strongly advise against using any form of restore from previous backups, such as TB or Nandroid.
Once the process is complete, custom recovery will be lost.
Method:
Download both the ROM zip file linked below and SuperSU zip file (if you want root) and copy to your SD card.
You need to be already on Rooted JB, Rooted KK or PURE CM11 with either TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 or TWRP 2.7.0.0 (nothing else).
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Wipe: System, Data, Cache. Dalvik (nothing else)
Flash the ROM zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik (nothing else)
Go to the Mount page in TWRP and select System (leave the other defaults alone)
Flash the SuperSU zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings
Reboot
Done
Don't use AutoRec to flash TWRP - you will lose Knock code.
Alternatively - if you have flashed TWRP on another KK Stock ROM (using AutoRec), you can full wipe (not SDCard) and flash this directly without going back to JB.
Download from here:

if we just edit the updater script and remove the recovery partition , our recovery wont be wiped just note that you should never take any OTA while u have custom recovery.

Yes,you will lose your custom recovery if you install this stock rom. But don't care about it.You may use AutoRec and your recovery will be back :good:
Edit : Hmm i think knock code will unusable if we flash TWRP with AutoRec.
Edit 2 : Aarghh i misunderstood. After using AutoRec and we will install any kernel with knock code support.
Flashing this rom is basically just a means of going back to stock. Of course you can use autorec to recovery and then flash a custom kernel to get knock code back, its up to you what you want out of this.

If i'm not wrong,the alternative method is not addicted to keep custom recovery. The custom recovery (whatever you have) won't be there after flashing this rom all the way mate.:good:

Precisely!
If someone already has Custom Recovery, and isn't overly bothered about preserving it, then this is potentially quicker and easier that then kdz method. And with easy root. Big plus point.
If you want a completely Stock experience of course.
What we don't know is how much development LG have done with the kernel. So, if one uses Autorec, any benefits of a later LG stock kernel will be lost.
Enjoy!
I am on v20d stock kit kat rooted with ioroot. D802 model. Does this flashabel rom include bootloader? Cause to have a custom recovery, I will have to use autorec app, which will dowgrade my bootloader. So will this rom work if the recovery has been flashed with autorec?
And also flashing this rom means that stock recovery will be flashed too?
I installed this 20f. it corrects problems ratio with slimport on small screen.
Just updated to D80220F. I can confirm that there is a Google Folder pre created. Havent noticed much else yet. will keep you updated.
Whole system feels super fast. Is it just me or is this faster than 802D/802B?
Knock on seems more reliable. Senses it way better and ignores ghost touches better.. Auto brightness seems to be managing brightness better too.
i have twrp 2.7.0.0 custom recovery, and i'm on d802b firmware (kk stock) with dorimanx kernel...
just 1 question to be sure (because i didn't quite get the OP):
- will i lose twrp if i flash this zip? (if yes, how do i get custom recovery back and safely?)
thanks in advance
Not option for ART
---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
60nine yes you lose twrp. It is for return to official.
ok, thanks... and how do i get twrp back? is it even possible?
on that matter - can "recovery.bin" from this zip be replaced by custom recovery .bin file?

Can you make a tutorial or write it down how you did it??? Because I wan't stock rom but don't want to lose recovery....
First root, and autorec for instal recovery. But you need a custom kernel .

read a little before
ok, so autorec works for 20f... all i wanted to know... (i don't care for knock code, i just want knock on to work)
the OP was a bit confusing - maybe it needs to be updated with a basic FAQ...
if anyone tried to flash this, then used autorec for custom recovery and flashed latest dorimanx 5.7 kernel - please confirm if knock on works (not knock code)
thanks in advance
Not kernel just autorec

[Q] How to flash CWM on Xperia S Stock JB?

Hi all,
I'm messing around with my girlfriends Xperia S and śtuck on installing a custom recovery (CWM seems to be the preferred one on the S).
The System:
Stock Sony JB
Build 6.2.B.1.96
What I already did:
Root
Backup TA
Unlocked Bootloader (official way via Sony website)
What I already tried to install custom recovery:
RecoverX App on PlayStore -> Recovery not booting when tapping the sony logo while booting (black screen for some seconds then reboot to Android)
Xperia S Dual Recovery (Linux script) -> Installation successful but no chance to boot one of the recoveries via Vol +/-, no blue LED, boots directly to Android
What I'm trying to achieve:
Install CM 11 with root access
I'm kind of experienced with HTC phones and my OnePlus One so not a complete noob but it looks like Sony phones are a different thing.
I read about the need to flash a custom kernel which includes the recovery but there are seperate recovery threads on the other hand. The sticky role up threads seem out of date.
Been reading since yesterday but this only lead to more confusion.
I hope someone can help me out getting CWM (or any other recommended recovery) on this phone to install CM 11.
And how to remove the recoveries I already installed and don't work?
EDIT 13:58
After further reading this looks like the way to go:
[RECOVERY] CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.2.7 for Xperia S (UnlockedBootLoader){JB}[20130824]
Correct? I don't want to end up bricking the device by trying different things. Can I flash CM11 ROMS using this recovery? The post says "do not use this for flashing CM10.1 (u will need to use the CM kernel for that)" which keeps confusing me ...
And how do I remove the recoveries already installed (list above) but not working?

First copy the zip of CM11 ROM to the phone.
Then on PC, extract the boot.img (this is the custom kernel with recovery for the ROM) from the ROM zip and flash it via fastboot using the flashtool software. Then You will have a twrp installed in Your phone due to it. Now boot into twrp and flash the ROM.
Note, after You flash the boot.img, You won't be able to boot into stock firmware. You will have to flash the CM11 ROM.
Also, if the recovery are not accessible, they are probably not installed, so no need to remove them.

Thank you very much for the instructions, now there's less confusion :good:
So let's see how it works with Paranoid Android. I'll report back afterwards.
Any Android 4.4 ROM recommendation as a stable daily driver?
Looks like there is no up to date standard CM11 build for the Xperia S

From what I have been reading, PA does seem to be stable enough to be a daily driver, just find the correct build of it. I don't know which one is as I don't use it much, do ask in the thread.
I would suggest Carbon ROM too, but it is currently having some battery drain issues, the battery works for hardly an entire day.

[Q] Total noob here, need (probably very basic) help

Hello, first time poster here!
I bought Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 and I want to flash CM 11 on it, because the stock Samsung's ROM is very bloated and slow.
I am looking at CM 11 from NovaFusion, which can be found novafusion.pl website.
I have currently downloaded:
cm11.0_codina.nova.20141215.zip
pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150106-signed.zip
I chose pico gapps because I want as less bloat as possible (only actually need Play Store).
The problem is, I don't know what to do next...
Now, I have a few questions:
Can I just flash CM trough the stock/default recovery mode that is already on the phone?
Can I use Odin to flash CM? If so, where is a trusted Odin download?
How do I restore the stock ROM that came with the phone if something goes (terribly :silly wrong?
Is it possible to reset flash counter and any other traces of root & custom ROMs on this phone in case I want to return it to warranty?
I added the "About device" info in the attachment!
1. flash it trough cwm temporary
2. no, you can't. novafusion didn't release Odin package for codina now.

Thanks a lot for responding!
Can you link me to CWM for this phone?
Also, how does the "temporary" mode work? Does it load up recovery from the microSD card? Just curious.

Hello, first time poster here!
I bought Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 and I want to flash CM 11 on it, because the stock Samsung's ROM is very bloated and slow.
I am looking at CM 11 from NovaFusion, which can be found novafusion.pl website.
I have currently downloaded:
cm11.0_codina.nova.20141215.zip
pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150106-signed.zip
I chose pico gapps because I want as less bloat as possible (only actually need Play Store).
The problem is, I don't know what to do next...
Now, I have a few questions:
Can I just flash CM trough the stock/default recovery mode that is already on the phone?
Can I use Odin to flash CM? If so, where is a trusted Odin download?
How do I restore the stock ROM that came with the phone if something goes (terribly :silly wrong?
Is it possible to reset flash counter and any other traces of root & custom ROMs on this phone in case I want to return it to warranty?
I added the "About device" info in the attachment!

1. Well, I think the stock recovery doesn't allow you to install zip from sdcard. That's why we use CWM instead (plus it does more things than stock recovery). I recommend CWM
2. No, Custom ROM should be flashed through CWM, I think...
3. You can backup your current ROM (includes apps installed) through CWM and if something goes wrong, you can easily restore it from CWM again. BUT, if somehow you can't get to CWM, you can use ODIN to flash stock ROM and your phone should be back to its original state
4. Yup, it can be done from CWM or ODIN.. same method as in my 3rd answer
PS. I only gave answers to stuff I've done before.. basically, my answers are based on self-experience hope it helps!

Mm.. from what I remember... Temporary CWM will not replace your stock recovery, and you will need to flash the CWM everytime you want to get into CWM Recovery .-.

Here : Temporary CWM.
Thank you everyone, I got CM 11 working easy and nice! :good:
Also, looks like the NovaFusion CM 11 ROM did something to the recovery, now it always boots to CWM even without a microSD card.
Does that mean that I can't get back to old recovery? Can I just flash stock ROM and get it back?
P. S. everything is so damn fast and smooth compared to stock ROM!!!

Yes, Custom ROMs like CM 11 have CWM Recovery or TWRP instead of Stock Recovery because they have functions such as backup your system and more. If you really want to have Stock Recovery then you have to flash Stock ROM using Odin.

Right. Probably that's why most of the people here use Custom ROMs.

[SOLVED] SGH-i317 Custom Rom Installation (No Rom Works)

Hi,
I have tried to install many custom roms but all get stuck on their own boot logos
eg
*Resurrection remix 5.6.5 marshmallow was stuck on its rr logo ( Tried installation with twrp 3.0, 2.4. 2.6 but still same thing)
*Cyanide 5.1 also gets stuck on its boot logo
Phone gets passes note 2 thing but gets stuck on respective roms logos i install
# Yes i Rooted phone before installation
# TWRP 3.0 installed
# Did clean installs (Formatted EVERYTHING and installed)(Read somewhere twrp cant format stock stuff properly, i dont know) Should i try different recovery? (Please suggest best to install RR Marshmallow)
# Presently I m on stock 4.4.2
# tried this too >> custom rom zip install >> SU Install >> Gapps >>restart (Did without SU install too but doesnt work that way too)
I got it SOLVED finally
HOW?
Yup sure i ll tell how
I followed the following steps
1. Flash stock rom ( I mean stock rom by odin, Not factory reset or anything (as that didnt work) and my baseband was also lost (showed 'Unknown'))
2. Didnt add anything to it (gmail account or any settings etc)
3. Booted it completely once again ( restarted after first boot)
4. got to Download mode
5. Rooted it using cf auto root ( for sgh-i317m as i m using same phone)
6. restarted
7. got to Download mode again
8. Flashed twrp 2.8.7.0 from Odin
9. restarted again
10. got to Recovery
11. Flashed Resurrection Marshmallow (I think 5.6.5)
12. Flashed SU manually after that
13. Flashed OpenGapps Mini 6.0
14. Wiped Dalvikcache / Cache
15. Reboot
16. Wait for about FIVE Mins and
VOILA....
Enjoying new Marshmallow
Hope this helps someone who is also stuck in my situation.
Thanks for all your help
are you sure that should work? you have i317 and as far as I know it differs from N7100 and N7105
I too am experiencing the same issue, I have an at&t SGH-i317
I tried latest TWRP as well as CWM and Philz recovery
I tried like 4 different ROM's some based off stock and some based of Cyanogen mods.
I even wiped cache and davlik cache after ROM install as suggested by some of the threads, I actually tried every combination I could think of and all ROM's get stuck on the boot logo splash screen.
Is there something I am missing or doing wrong, this is certainly the the first phone I tried this on.

Can this be because of stock kernel? Because i m still on stock kernel
And thats the only thing i didnt change, despite all other random changes in steps to follow to install custom rom.
First and foremost TWRP 3.0 might be your problem, Its buggy and doesnt work right some people couldnt install it and all others have had issues with flashing roms, I would downgrade twrp to 2.8.5 if I were you.
the only other thing I think you already said you did but when you wipe go to advanced wipe make sure system is checked so system, cache, delvik cache, and data...but I think mainly TWRP is probably your problem.

I m gonna go to twrp 2.8.5. Hopefully it works. Will be back with results soon.
i get this error after installation (Using twrp 2.8.5.0 now)
"unmount of /system failed; no such volume"
Probably this is cause?
How to fix it?
and
I m using twrp for t0lte (i have SGH-i317m) I hope its all right with that.

Actually yes I never updated the kernel, and now I am wondering if that is the reason why. Perhaps the latest ROM's need the latest kernel. Unfortunately, the links for that are down, if anyone can repost please.
[UPDATE]
I found the latest kernel and flashed it within Philz latest recovery and sure enough that did the trick, now I got two ROM's I tried and both booted fine. I guess that's the fix.
that's weird, I'm using stock kernel since the 1st day and never had boot problem. See if your emmc chip is sane or insane

Stock kernel with latest 6.x ROM's? Only thing I can think of is your stock kernel was updated with an Android update, since this isn't my phone I din't know how on queue my family member who owns it was with updates. Everything is working fine now I just settled on a ROM after trying a few, so I think my emmc chip is fine.

I flashed AGNI kernel but the results were still same. Now gonna flash http://d-h.st/JUm as xtacydima suggested(Thanks).
Hope it works.
Will be back with results soon.
Do i need to update modem? to install RR (Marshmallow)?
With http://d-h.st/JUm as xtacydima suggested
It doesnt pass note 2 logo
Just goes blank after note 2 logo, So i think it isnt supported.
i m on 4.4.2 stock now.
Another thing i note is that my baseband is "unknown".
Any suggestions?
