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.
I tried to unroot my phone after getting stuck in a cyanogen bootloop a while back. I managed to get into recovery and install stock firmware via Odin. I did not however install the stock kernel or stock recovery. I am now in a stock t-mobile bootloop. I'm not sure what to do, I have been unable to get into recovery thus far, but I can keep trying. What can I do?

Can you get in Download mode? To work with Odin you must be in Download mode, not recovery.
If you can get in Download mode, then start Odin and flash a TWRP Odin flashable recovery:

Then at least you should have a functional recovery. From there you could either try to flash your stock ROM again, or any another ROM.
Are you 100% sure what you flashed was a good stock ROM for the T989 ?
Dont you have a nandroid you could restore?
I'm trying to put a rom on a tm-sm217s
i flash twrp, boot right to recovery and flash the rom.
no dice. it boots right back to the stock sprint touchwiz rom. however, there are some odd app- that would be with the non-samsung rom now installed. they don't work- no root.
go to boot back to recovery, can't need to goto bootloader and reflash twrp.
any ideas wtf i'm doing wrong?
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?
I am running Stock PD1 unrooted.
Is Rooting PD1 as simple as using Odin to flash the latest Version of TWRP? Will doing this install the necessary files, or is there a different method for build?
UPDATE: I flashed the latest version TWRP using Odin. Everything worked, except that when I booting into bootloader there was no TWRP, it was stock android bootloader.
What did I do wrong?
Right after flashing TWRP, you need to boot into recovery to boot into TWRP, if not, the phone boots normally restoring the Stock Recovery. As soon as the phone reboots, after the flashing TWRP, hold the Volume Up + Home Button + Power until it boots into Recovery mode. Should boot up into TWRP. Once TWRP boots the first time it will overwrite the stock recovery and become the default recovery. As for Rooting the Note 4, the only safe method is using Systemless Root, I just flashed this custom stock rom and all is done for you.

Went to flash TWRP through ODIN and got a message- custom recovery blocked by A/L. Any solution please?
Same here. Get a FAIL with any TWRP flash. Same with Stock Rom Tar as well. Stuck with no ability to flash.
