samsung galaxy s3

cwm recovery 5.5.0.4
Flash one of these in CWM:
CWM 6.0.4.7,
Philz Touch 6.26.6, or
TWRP 2.7.0.0
Afterwards, restart your phone into recovery, and try re-flashing the ROM you wish to run.

Hi All...
I was trying to install a new ROM, but before, i wipe the user settings, cache partition and dalvik cache...
Since the new files was not ok, the instalation was aborted... The previous rom (villainROM 3) kept looping around and around and did not boot.
So, with ODIN, i flashed an official ROM, like i've did before, installed CWM APP and try to boot into recovery mode, but now, all i have is android system recovery... The CWM recovery is not there...
I've already installed rom manager and installed CWM Recovery from there, but still no sucess...
How can i revert this and have CWM recovery so i can install roms again ?
Cheers,

Hi,
I am not unfamiliar with rooting a phone or loading a custom ROM, but im unsure about upgrading now that its no longer stock.
I have a GT-i9100 rooted and currently loaded with CWM 6.0.3.2 and Paranoid Android 3.60 (Android 4.2.2). I would like to upgrade to KK 4.4.2 Cyan Fox. What i want to know is how to go about this without killing my phone.
So far, from what have seen, i need to upgrade to a newer CWM that is 4.4.2 friendly, like This one by -Grift-. But the CWM 6.0.4.7 is a .zip, how do i load this? As far as I know only .tar files work when flashing with ODIN. You cant update from 6.0.3.2 to 6.0.4.7 from within CWM recovery mode using a .zip can you?
Once the CWM 6.0.4.7 is on, i should be able to load the ROM and GAPPS from the .zip files and boot into the new 4.4.2 OS right?
Will i need to wipe data and cache once the new 4.4.2. ROM is loaded, before i boot?
Would appreciate any input on this. Thanks
Although senior members might demand not to post such queries as they have become too repetitive, yet I'll be delighted to help an "inexperienced" user such as you, sir. As you already know about CWM 6.0.4.7 and its importance in flashing KitKat ROMs, the only way to update your CWM 6.0.3.2 or any version is by downloading the CWM 6.0.4.7.zip and placing it on your SD card. After that, boot into recovery and flash the .zip file. DON'T reboot your device just now, instead, navigate to "Advanced" and select reboot recovery (the option is usually there depending on what recovery you use and how it customized). As simple as that, the phone will reboot but only the recovery and you'll see the updated CWM 6.0.4.7. To flash the required 4.4.x KitKat ROM, previously place it on your SD card and choose to install .zip and browse to the location of the file depending where exactly you placed it. Wait till the installation has finished and then WIPE data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache. Flash the Google apps you need after that, and there you go, KitKat on your i9100. Note that wiping the data partition is crucial, so flash responsibly and don't forget to make a nandroid backup
MY PROBLEM : When i wipe the dalvik cache before flashing a new rom, the following message shows "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]", and i always get stuck in bootloop. So i have to reflash cwm(6.0.4.5)via odin. Even after reflashing, when i go in the recovery and again clear the dalvik, i get the same message ,and again,the device gets stuck in bootloop. So this means that everytime i have to flash a ROM , i will have to reflash the cwm via odin,because of the above mentioned error. I have got the following questions :
1) How can this issue be fixed? (I searched the q&a and the fix for the bootloop was given that reflash the cwm, but that didnt fix the E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] error)
2) Will flashing the latest philz recovery fix this error E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]??
3) If i flash the latest recovery by philz, will the nandroid backup of my stock rom made from my old cwm recovery 6.0.4.5 work with the philz recovery, or will i have to first restore the stock rom via cwm(6.0.4.5), update the cwm by flashing the philz recovery,then make a nandroid backup of my stock rom via the philz recovery?
Are u following the proper order? You first need to wipe the cache and then wipe the dalvik cache. Otherwise just flash stock ROM vi odin
Hi, So I just recently flash my philz recovery over TWRP recovery, Because Twrp can't read my memory card when in recovery mode it always says "E mound Failed" now I'm stuck on phiz I already wipe everything restart etc, when I'm trying to turn it on, It always on Philz, help please? and I do have 2 recovery now when trying to reboot on recovery using Philz it will go to twrp
I tried installing back to noot v9 without back-uping on my s3 using clockworkmod and it gave me error status 7. I tried repairing it using odin and this rom stockroms(dot)net/file/GalaxyS3/i9300/stockrecovery/International-GT-i9300-StockRecovery.tar. Odin sais that everithing went ok and shows that big green pass icon, but everithing it did was to delete even the cwmr everything that remained being android system recovery. Also, it can't mount my sd card (I tried formating it as NTSF and FAT32).
PS: I don't know if my phone is original.
flash latest twrp
No. To be sure, that everything works, exec factory reset in samsung-recovery and reboot.
he have cwm, he should flash latest (cwm end suporrt in 2014 )
only twrp, that rom work for me
Android system recovery isn't CWM. CWM or TWRP aren't ROMs. Read&understand 1st.
read again rp158
he use default recorvery for repartition,
bisoros
check checksum rom.zip and flash custom recovery again, full wipe and try again
