Hi, becuse samsung is just about to release a exu 2.3.4 update that will disable the usb jig from working in resetting the counter, meaning if the thing breaks , you may not be able to get it fixed via waranty. So is it now or never to root, and flash custom roms onto the divice please? Also, I am confused about somthing with regards to custom recovery. If someone would help me, I would be really greatful. (I have tryed to search for the answeres, but didn't find what I needed )
-When You flash a custom rom using odin, how do you get clockwork mod?
-Also, can you install custom roms stock or asop through clockwork mod on the galaxy s2?
-Which is safer to flash with, odin or clockwork mod?
-Could anyone recomend a stock rom please, there are so many?
I know these are stupid questions, but If you could help me in any way, I always click the thanks button. Thanks

yes your choice to make until a workaround .

You dont get clockwork mod by flashing a custom rom .
Unless the rom contains CWM in its build .
CWM and Root is the normal method .
Root + CWM .

-Also, can you install custom roms
Yes if the rom instructions say so
stock
NO
or asop through clockwork mod on the galaxy s2?
|Take it you mean asop rom again yes if instructions say so .
-Which is safer to flash with, odin or clockwork mod?
Either but CWM is probably a bit more idiot proof .
-Could anyone recomend a stock rom please, there are so many?
Stock rom its usuall to flash the latest tested release which is KH3 .

First of all my S2 usb port was not working...Now i have flashed ics 4.0.3 through Mobile Odin..But now the CWM recovery and mobile odin are not working..the apps are not working and i can not restore my mobile...Can any one give me a solution?
Phone requires working USB to flash stock via Odin
Or a working CWM to flash a Custom rom .
Or Mobile Odin to flash a stock rom .
If none of those work you can do nothing bar send it to a repair centre . However warranty is void as phone rooted and non Samsung rom you have to hope that they dont notice .
You might repair the USB port see previous posts .

I like guessing games. My guess is that you don't have a kernel which comes with CWM recovery.
What do I win?

well after you flash a custom rom you can ALWAYS flash a stock rom over it with ODIN .......and you can also flash the stock recovery so when u take it for repairs those guys wont know if u had rooted or flashed a custom rom
note: the stock recovery is for GT S5830 ONLY not its variants like i, m , t , b

Yup perfect...... He can also install CWM and take backup of Stock and flash custom.... If he don't want to use odin!
In case of repairs, he can restore that backup an flash stock recovery zip...

Odin is easier and faster. But an easier way if u don't have a PC available .!

I may be wrong on that point, but I think reverting to stock using Cwm is not exactly the same as with odin. Doesn't odin also flash the original recovery, instead of cwm? In that case, if you have to flash back to stock in order to send your device for repair, maybe the safer would be to flash with Odin.

It installs the same firmware, as the cwm backup is of the same firmware . Just the diff is that the backup is rooted .

Ok. So, do you agree with this summary?
* to revert simply to the rooted stock rom, use Cwm.
* if you have to send your phone to repair and don't want to void your warranty, flash the original "not rooted" firmware with Odin.

#1 not so correct......when u flash a custom rom like cm7 ur phones file system becomes ext4 wheras stock roms require rfs file system so you CANNOT restore your stock rom backup over a custom rom with cwm .......unless your custom rom has rfs file system(which custom roms normally dont have)..

My question is how to return to stock recovery? ( thanks in advance for any help ) also can I update my s3 via KIES while having this CWM recovery? ( notice that my phone now is unrooted )

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

mega bass beat option
I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?

Then what is this? Is it some another forum?
Hello everybody, I'm new here And I got newbie question.
I want to root and install Custom ROM'S to my device(I know how to that), I'll make my stock ROM 4.1.2 backup(in CWM). I was searching, and found, that I can un-root my device(get back warranty), but every tutorials says, that I will need download stock rom from Sammobile, but there arent firmware from my region. The question, do I will be able use my own backup like stock firmware in un-root proccess ? (Dont dowload firmaware from sammobile, but use own backup) If answer is "Yes", second question is, do I be able to recieve official updates after restore (OTA, KIES) ? Thanks for answers.
no. I mean, you will unroot but you will still have a custom recovery (CWM), and that voids your warranty

So, if I want to have warranty, I had do not touch my stock ROM ?

Probably Kies .
OTA not if rooted .

that, or follow the instructions for returning to the warranty state.
or if your recovery backs up /recovery partition then restoring the backup will overwrite CWM too
I'm confused Thanks for answers.
