[Q] CWM Recovery Not Working

I am trying to root my AT&T S3 i747 OS-4.3. I followed the instructions to flash CWM Recovery from this website http://www.theandroidsoul.com/lates...tt-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747-android-4-4-compatible/ but it doesn't seem to work. In Odin3 it says that it passed but when i try to boot up CWM recovery it still boots up android recovery. Any suggestions or another route to root my phone that doesn't require a wipe? My end goal is to install a tether app that works on phone. I currently have FoxFi but the update to 4.3 broke the wifi mode.

Once you are on 4.3, the common methods of rooting don't always work. You may, however, try method #2 posted in the thread below. I have found that to always work. Using this option will not wipe your data but you are advised to back up frequently. Also before rooting your phone, I would suggest you check to be sure that is really necessary. Most apps, including non Play Store apps, can be installed simply by going to your phone settings and enabling installing of apps from other sources. Root would be required primarily for apps or installations that make changes to your phone's OS.

No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that a Wi-Fi tether app (or any other app for that matter) may still work on an unrooted phone as long as it doesn't need to make changes to your phone's operating system. Wi-Fi tethering from Open Garden inc, for instance, is available as an app from the play store and this can be installed on an unrooted phone.

Ok i understand now. Do you happen to know if Wi-Fi tethering from Open Garden inc works on the i747 on Android 4.3?

I was able to root my phone but i am unable to find a WiFi tether app that works on i747 OS 4.3 root. Any suggestions?

[Q] CF Auto Root - Urgent Issue Help - Starter

Hello,
I have Note II - i317
I just rooted my phone yesterday using the CF Auto Root, and It was all done, But in excitement, after downloading the Bloater app, I removed few system apps.
Now, the Home Button and nothing is responding fine. I think I removed some apps that were not suppose to be removed. Even if I factory reset, it would not work. The phone just starts and gets stuck on the AT&T screen forever.
Can anyone please guide me on what I should be doing to get my phone updated and running all well again? I really need help urgently on this.
Thanks

Rooted device and deleted crucial apps!

So I rooted my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 8.0 (TM310) and started deleting bloatware. I restarted the device after deleting a couple of bloatware and think I deleted a necessary Google app. I kept getting a popup saying "android device manager has stopped working" so I think I deleted that. Being stupid I never actually created a backup (learnt my lesson) and thought if I factory reset the device, I'll have the original apps back; this did not work and created a problem. Now when I try to setup the the tablet, the google part comes up after setting up WiFi and it asks you for your first and last name to personalise the tablet. Considering I deleted an app, it just says android device manager has stopped working and just restarts the part where I have to enter my name. Essentially I can't setup or use this tablet without the app so is there a way to actually get it back? I'm willing to try anything as there is no loss. Tablet is useless otherwise. Thanks for your time!

Install a custom ROM?

Thanks. I tried before and 2 more times after you responded with one method but seems as if it was not working so tried an alternative method and that worked.

I rooted my phone twice; once with Kingroot and then with proper method and don't kno

...and don't know what is happening know.
I rooted my phone first with Kingroot and it got its place in my phone. Then I tried to uninstall bloatware. I saw Chrome using about 45MB of space. I was happy that now I'll kick it away and other apps. But when Kingroot shown Chrome, it shown Chrome as using only 10MB and same with other apps. Original space apps were using were not shown but much less than that. Anyway, I uninstalled all of them. About 6 or 7. After uninstallation I checked my Device Storage, it was still 1.45GB as it was before uninstallation. WTF! Even now, as those apps were disabled, I got 6 or 7 Android dummies in my phone like all those are apps.
Then I rebooted my device and those dummies were gone. The Kingroot experience was pathetic. It doesn't even freed up space as expected. Well I proceeded to properly root my device. Found this thread for my upgraded-to-lollipop phone and downloaded and installed as said in that thread. I flashed TWRP via Odin and then flashed SuperSU via TWRP.
Rebooted and came to system to use. Opened SuperSU and it shown error "binaries need updating". I updated this app and used "Use TWRP to install binaries" and even Normal mode too; as said in some other thread here but no luck.
I even get "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" everytime I go to recovery mode but everything seems working fine. As with other users seeing same message, I am getting to TeamWork UI successfully (don't know why that message is displaying). Now All I want is to know is is my device is healthy? And can I install other custom ROMs. I though made a backup using TWRP.
My device: Samsung Grand Prime (SM-G530H). Was Kitkat when purchased but I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.2.
Thanks for any answers.

Download a custom rom and flash via twrp if u already backup up the stock rom. Most of ur issues will be solved already

un-root SM-T800

Hi all,
I wanted to start using my SM-T800 again. I had the last cyanogedmod installed and I noticed that I could not make Netflix to work.
Last week I tried to flash Lineage with Odin and it didn't work. The Odin msg was "establishing communication with the device" and then failed. I downloaded the official firmware from Samsung and tried to flash it without success.
This morning I flashed Magisk to try to make Netflix to work and after flashing it, TWRP asked me if I wanted to install Super SU as well. I said yes and when rebooting, it just stays in the logo forever. I can still access to download mode, though..
I made sure that the Samsung drivers were installed in my computer but I'm not sure what to do. I don't care if I lose the root.. I just need a working device. Is it possible to un-root it? What can be the issue that I'm not able to flash from Odin?
I know that there can be million reasons, but some ideas would definitely help.
Thanks in advance

I know that Netflix is not friendly to rooted devices or devices that were modded in some way. This used to manifest in Netflix disappearing from the Play Store on such devices. However, you could still manually install the Netflix using the apk file. There are repositories on the web that distribute the apks. You can google for them. This is how I installed Netflix on my Tab S (running stock MM, but rooted)
