Just this mitnute rooted my GS3. I used odin and the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4. Everything we smoothly, I can see Super User on my phone, however, I cannot see Clockworkmod Recovery anywhere on my phone. Do I need to install it separately?? Thanks in advance guys :good:
CF auto root is the recommended path to root, it won't install CWM.

Then u can flash custom recoveries. U dun have to use cwm. U can use others like twrp, philz. Btw dun use the apps in play store to flash the recoveries. Google search "gt-i9300 (the custom recovery u wan)" and find it.

It's recommended you flash a custom recovery regardless if u want to flash some mods or roms. It always comes in handy and you have the option to backup the whole system and create an image file, so you'll be safe, if anything goes wrong with flashing someday or you screw your system, you can always recover it with the custom recovery. Pretty amazing

You need to flash it with ODIN on your pc. Also your custom recovery that you want to flash through ODIN needs to be a .tar file
All done, thanks. just need some decent roms. can you recommend any??

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to recommend stuff here and advertise. Just look under android development and read the comments, I'm sure you'll fine a good one. Don't forget to backup your current system first and your data. When you're done, you can test out roms not worrying much about if they work or not

Hi all, ok ive rooted my GS3 and its running 4.1.2 , but my question is that im not sure its going into proper recovery mode as when i put it into recovery it doesnt look like the usual recovery screen !! ie im trying to install the Audio hack zip and flash it but it keeps failing everytime i try, can somebody please help me, also is it because it needs a diferent rom like Omega or something, hope to get some help soon, from
Brian
You need to install Custom Recovery first... (CWM or any other)
Rooting only doesn't include CWM...
Use Odin to flash it.
thankyou
Hi and thankyou for that, so when you say i have to install flash a custom recovery, do you mean i have to install a new rom like omega or something ? and yes i do have Odin.

The S3 has a separate recovery partition unlike the S2 so Kernel, ROM and recovery are completely unrelated.

You can flash what you want. There are several ROMs, recoveries and kernels.
Have a read of my "understanding the basics before rooting" thread as there is a lot of info in there that you need to read. It can be located if you follow the link in my signature to General > Sticky roll-up
well i have some knowledge but let's say i'll flash CF-Root by Chainfire this one includes root and cwm recovery (from here on i'll take care of my rom flashing) but is it compatible with my version? by doing this do I risk /efs folder corruption?

yes its compatible with your phone. nothing can go wrong if you follow the OP.
Or you can try this method also.
i personally prefer the former.
CF auto root is the most painless way to root, it changes almost nothing in the process. Then backup your efs folder before you do ANYTHING else.

i would suggest you goto android original development section and try the CWM touch or philz recovery.

By the way rooting with CF-Autoroot doesn't include a custom recovery anymore that's why you needed to flash a custom recovery separately.

Requesting that someone make a flashable zip from the newest CWM Touch Image, especially as new 4.4 KitKat ROMs are requiring CWM-based recoveries.
I understand that this can be accomplished through ROM Manager (but I'm getting a download error) or through fast-boot/adb (which I admittedly don't have the time, patience or complete understanding to do) so if someone had time to make a flashable zip, I'd imagine that'd benefit the community greatly.

I haven't flashed a cwm zip, I just use rom manager to install it. But I've gone back and forth a few times recently with no problems. Just messing around the other day I installed a 4.4 and set it up and then flashed twrp and backed up the 4.4. Wiped the phone went back to a 4.3 and then restored the 4.4 nandroid with twrp without any troubles. Apparently it's the initial install that you need cwm for, but caution is advised for now as the next time it may not work. I was bored and just messing around. As always YMMV!

I believe that you need to get the .img file and change it into a .img.tar file to flash it in odin.

I had made my own cwm touch flash zip as others have instructed. You just flash it with twrp if that's what using and use twrp to reboot to recovery to see the newly flashed cwm touch recovery. Vice versa for installing twrp again. However; just remember, backups can only be restored from recovery they were made with.

Sure. I assume you have your previous version zip in case you want to flash back? I just have latest cwm touch and twrp 2.6.1.0. and twrp 2.5 that I keep on hand.

As long as your phone is a SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 (codename used in these forums "quincyatt" is the same thing) you can use a quincyatt recovery.

Alternatively. if you have root access, then you can download the ROM Manager app from play store. When you install the ROM Manager, it asks you if you want to flash CWM or no. If you say yes, then it automatically downloads the latest CWM and installs it on your phone.
Hit thanks if i helped!

Absolutely do not use Rom Manager. You will end up with broken recovery & bootloop, and given how few people on here seem to backup stuff regularly, you will lose data when this happens & you need to go back to stock to fix it.
