[Q] Help with my s3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok first of all i am very new to the world of rooting.
i rooted my phone using cf root and then uninstalled the super su unrooting it.
after that i wanted to root again it took good 50 minutes for me to root and then my phone went into boot loop and now it would only go to download mode not recovery mode please help

Not enough details to figure out what went wrong. But it sounds like you need to flash a new rom when in download mode.

[Q] Can't re-root after flashing stock ROM [XXEMC2]

Hello all,
About a week ago I ran into a problem with my phone which I thought was a software, which actually turned out to be a hardware issue with my sim card. Cutting a long story short, I flashed the official stock rom with Odin V1.85, and it passed and everything was back to default factory settings.
Having now got my issue fixed, I wanted to re-root my phone, in order to go back to the old ROM I was using [UltimaROM v12]. However after flashing various versions of CWM I cannot get my phone to root. I'm no stranger using Odin, I can usually install a new version of CWM in 30 seconds, but my phone is persistent on not rooting. I can't work out if maybe I've done something wrong, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I've tried running as Admin on W7, but it doesn't make a difference, I'd appreciate if one of you guys could help, as I used the search bar before, but it seems no-one has had this problem before.
Modem: XXEMC2
Kernel: Stock
ROM: Stock
Use TWRP or Philz recovery .

I've tried those too, they don't work either.

The problem is the recoveries will look as if they've installed fine through Odin getting a "passed" flag, but when I go to recovery it's still the default Android recovery. Therefore no root.
What root method are you using?
Chainfire one I believe. You basically install CWM recovery, then install SuperSU from .zip in CWM.
So you have rooted but can't install recovery?
Just flash one with mobile Odin,
Nope, no root yet, because I can't flash SuperSU.zip 'cause I'm still on the default recovery.
Just use the old cf root then update the recovery or use framaroot and flash recovery with mobile Odin
cf-root roots the phone as well as changes the stock recovery to cwm recovery! is this the exact one you flashed? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

Help with getting clockworkmod in S2

Okay so I managed to root my phone using this method ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...m.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116549
And root works. Now I want to get clockworkmod on my phone. I followed some steps on the internet and ended up getting my phone bricked. I managed to get it working again. Can someone please tell me what to do right? I used odin before and that was the cause of my bricking. So i'd rather not use that again.
I went to the clockworkmod/rommanger website and i found the s2 "Download Recovery" thing. If i flash this through the android recovery system will it work?
Help me out here.
Thanks in advance
What do you mean "I want to get cwm on my phone".
That file should root your phone and install cwm.
Are you getting confused because there no icon.
Dont use rommanager as that can have dire effects on a phone.
And next time put in ALL details about your phone;model,rom etc.

If you are having official stock 4.1.2 rom then go to settings/about phone and check your baseband and then Go to philz Thread you can search it on XDA . Choose the zip one flash it from recovery you will get CWM.
Hope it helps

I mean , when I boot into recovery its the default android recovery. Not the cwm. Not sure how to explain it but even before i rooted my phone. I had to boot into recovery, and the default android recovery screen comes when you want to flash the zip. After that I re boot into recovery the android one comes, not the cwm. So yeah the icon or the blue-ish recovery screen doesnt appear

Ok,I know what you mean now.That used to happen with rachmats rooting method;a temp cwm was flashed,and when rebooted,the phone went back to stock recovery.
Several people in the know recommend using pc odin(think you said you didnt want to use it) because it is risky flashing stuff by other methods.If you use odin to do stuff,then that means it is ready to help you out if flashing by cwm or mobile odin goes wrong.

So what can I do? I dont mind flashing cwm with odin as long as I dont brick my phone again. I've already rooted, if i use odin to get cwm , will it cause problems? Is there no other way to get cwm without odin? Maybe flashing a zip?
Yes,Jeetu said earlier.

[Q] My Grand Quattro is stuck at logo screen. What to do?

Hi.
First of all, I want to thank all the users of this forum, I found many helpful things and you're amazing.
Second, my english is a little bad, so I apologize for any mistake.
Now, the problem:
I have a rooted Grand Quattro that is stuck at the logo screen (the one that shows name and model of device). I can't boot to recovery mode, only to download mode. How can I make the phone start again? I have a backup of ROM that I've made with CWM, but I can't access CWM to restore, and can't reflash CWM (device says "signature verification failed" after every attempt with Odin 3.07).
I need help, I've searched through these foruns and another places, but couldn't find a suitable answer.
Thanks for attention
Flash Fresh ROM again via odin
BTW which rooting method did you use? There are better and easy methods. Use Kingo App to root the phone.
Try flashing the stock rom again via odin while in download mode ofcourse. Because you are able to do to download mode. Right?
Then download kingo app and root your phone. Don't use cwm method unless you want to flash any other script or custom rom in your phone.
Also uninstall USB drivers and install it again.
Let me know if some new problem arises. :fingers-crossed:
Cheers :good:
Thanks for response.
I flashed the stock rom and it worked again (and I didn't lost programs and personal files )
I opened this thread because I couldn't download the stock rom from Terafile, but I managed to download and install after some time.
About your question: I rooted with Kingo app, but I was trying to install CWM, and I read in a random place that I need to chroot the install-recovery.sh. I think this messed with the phone.
Well, I recovered the device and rooted again, so thanks for helping

Where did you get the stock rom? And flash it with odin?
Download it on http://sammobile.com and flash it with Odin.
This is great platform to resolve all kinds of rooting issues....
Stock ROMs of almost all versions are available on xda itself and all over the internet......

I'd use TWRP if I were you and save yourself some headaches. From my understanding, CWM is hit or miss on our beloved Note 3.

First what version of KK where you on when you rooted your device ? Anyway pull battery then reinstall battery. Boot into download mode, then odin flash the version of KK you had before you rooted your phone.
Chances are the device won't boot. DON'T PANIC !!! Happenes all the time, just pull the battery again. Boot into download mode again, and odin flash the stock KK again it should boot the second time.
Once you get it to boot up, check and see what version of KK you are running and make the kernel , modem, and bootloader are the same.
At this point l would odin flash it again to make sure you have a clean install. Now you can root and install a custom recovery. I use TWRP.
IF you have any questions just click rom flashing basics in my signature.
Pull battery boot cold to download mode. From there attempt odin flash of factory tar image. Report back please.
