[Q] Updating CMW5.5.0 to newest CMW - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I want to flash to new Archdroid ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S III 9300.
From the info i found on this forum, i have to update my CMW505 to the newest version.
Is this possible by flashing the cwm-touch-i717-6043.zip file with the current installed cwm version? Or do i have to use Odin to instal the new version? ive been searching for it, but found no clear answer so far.
Thanks in advance.

i717? it is a at&t note! don't flash a galaxy note recovery on a galaxy s3, this could break your hardware!!!
in fact if you flash archidroid it will give you the option to flash the newest philz touch recovery (it is based on cwm with extra features). after selecting this option in aroma it will reboot your recovery and you will have the latest one, after that you can flash archidroid without problems.
btw: there is a q&a thread for archidroid

But flashing archidroid or any other latestrom requires minimum 6.0.4.4 Cwm so he can't flash it until he is on that our newer.
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...

Root phone - install CWM - backup your present rom with CWM - download required rom - wipe/factory reset phone - flash rom. If previous tut was vague there are others search.
Phone is already rooted and I know how to install ROMS thats easy i'm talking about installing a recovery like clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.6 I think is the latest

To go back on a stock NeatROM:
Go to recovery
Flash Philz kernel from external SD
Reboot recovery
Wipe data/clean to install a new ROM
Flash ROM or restore your nandroid
Reboot device
Is it Safe ?

Yes if you read OP on Neat rom kitkat 4.4.2 you will know and yes it's the only way to go back to stock.
The zip is so big because it is aroma rom and having lots of mods.

kernel is not equal rooting or recovery.
read the guides & howtos to know what is the difference. anything explained there.
a good start is cf-auto-root to root your phone, after that continue reading.

I have read somewhere that by flashing a 4.3 rom can cause efs issues. So is it better if i flash a sammy 4.3 rom with odin? And then I can flash a rooting kerenel and a recovery right??

it is correct that it can come to problems when upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3 because Samsung introduced some changes that also effect EFS (e.g search for EFS v2). There are a few threads already that mention how to upgrade the best way, hence I would propose you to search them as I did not upgrade to a Samsung based 4.3 rom due to the fact that I am using SlimBean (AOSP based). Therefore I do not want to recommend you things that might be wrong.

No you cannot but the fastest way to get from stock 4.1.2 to Kitkat 4.4 is to
1. Download this into external SDcard
2. Download my recovery and what ever ROM+Files you need into internal/external
3. Flash first file in stock recovery
4. Flash my recovery, reboot back into recovery
5. Wipe data+cache (factory reset)
6. Flash the ROM+Files
7. Reboot

@Grift, must say have been following your work/posts for sometime now and find/enjoy the way you can explain a lot of ( detail ) clearly without using many too English words. haha.
Thank you very much for this post & code CWM kk compatible.
foot note/tip. upgrade/flash Direct from ICS404 to KKat is possible But the user Must Format /system /data /cache within CWM Kkat as normal factory reset doesn't work for such a big version jump.(my thoughts/theory only).
Usual warning Nandroid backup First as all Rom data Lost doing it this way.
Copy of request below if possible. @Grift. If possible can you release a Temporary version of your (CWM kitkat with out kernel).
Similar to what Philz was releasing for GT i9100.
Reason for request. Is at moment Dorimanx kernel has older cwm. So when I flash permanent CWM kk compatible then re-flash Dori it can break 2nd ROM boot access/entry.
Therefore if possible a Temp version of what you are doing/releasing would be Perfect for my & others dualboot kitkat problems.
Thanks in advance bmad.

I believe you do need the sources. From what I see you work on the Desire HD (Ace) ? Either you download the sources and compile from there or you can try Koush's CWM builder ( just search CWM builder on google ). As for source code Cm10.2 source can be upwards of 10GB easily. For the DHD im not sure if you guys have official CM11 source?

We've got unofficial builds of cm11, and most devs have release pretty stable device and kernel trees. Thanks, 10GB isn't bad at all, but will it require me to setup my Build Environment differently?

Hi
I do not know about korean device.
But on i9100 international you have to root your device, then For installing cm13 for instance you have to repartition first and install twrp 3.x.x and cm13 and gapps which you do by flashing zip-files in recovery (Not with odin).
You should search for the developer @CNBLACK who made 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 roms for i9100 and for korean devices aswell (named 250 or similar)‘

On i9100 int. you can flash philz cwm6 stockkernel.zip which has root by using stock-recovery because it is a zip-file (no need for odin)
And If you flash isorec twrp it will not show up If are not on an isorec-kernel.
So after installing philz use again recovery to install latest latest cm11 20161119 by @zjq985062714 i9100.zip (has isorec kernel) and isorec twrp 3.0.2-1.zip by @the.gangster.
Again this works without odin just using recoveries.
Then you can do repartitioning and flashing cm13 of others.
This is How i do it always On my i9100 international.

Hi
Maybe you overlooked it in my Post.
I wrote you can install philz Kernel by using STOCK - RECOVERY. On switched off device press 3 buttons at the same time until stock recovery appears ( Volume up-, power- and home-button).
Then move to "apply update" and choose philz.zip from SD card (of course you have to copy it on
card first).
Reboot System.
Switch off device
Reboot in recovery using 3 buttons and you will have custom recovery to continue.

Hi
Maybe you overlooked it in my Post.
I wrote you can install philz Kernel by using STOCK - RECOVERY. On switched off device press 3 buttons at the same time until stock recovery appears ( Volume up-, power- and home-button).
Then move to "apply update" and choose philz.zip from SD card (of course you have to copy it on
card first).
Reboot System.
Switch off device
Reboot in recovery using 3 buttons and you will have custom recovery to continue.

Hi
This is strange. Philz kernel is well known as a safe kernel which has been used by many people.
Did you look for the correct version for your device ?
I am not sure but it should be PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSD-OXX-4.87-signed.zip (or similar)
Anyway you could try to make a Backup in recovery.
Then i would flash cm11 and twrp which i mentioned before.
In case you flashed wrong kernel flash correct PhilZ kernel or cwm 6.0.4.7
Then flash cm11 and twrp.
Just want to say once more all this works fine On i9100 int. and i do not know if your device is different in any way.
Did you read the threads by @CNBLACK which i recommended?

Okay, I checked this thread.
You must upgrade to Stock JB Firmware.
And If you already to use Stock JB, Check my SGS2 thread (u1skt).

Eureka!!!! i have found the problem and solution!!!
as i've previously said, my phone was rooted using kingoroot. once i have installed philz, it start bugging. So i though myself maybe there was a conflict between superuser by kingoroot and superuser by philz. i tried to unistall kingoroot but i was unable tu unistall superuser (don't really know why). nevetheless i have disabled the kingoroot superuser in application manager and the problem just disappeared. now my phone is working perfectly. i have repartitionned it in 6Gb internal and 7Gb USB. i'm ready for the next step.
thanks a lot Sensei

sorry but i'm confused. as i have mentionned in my post, my phone was originaly a SHW-M250S but i have convert it in gt-i9100 by using a pit file and flashing a new firmware. so i should continue by flashing cyanogenmod for SHW-M250S or for gt-i9100?

Glad your device is working again.
Please keep in mind that (on i9100) you have to increase the SYSTEM partition to 1 GB or more If you want to flash any cm13 or cm14 rom.
As far as i can see you increased only data (internal) partition.

Hi again
My opinion is: once the device is converted to i9100 it should behave like one.
Maybe anybody can confirm this.
If it were my device i would make a
- backup in recovery (important!)
Then i would have a go and make
- clean flash of latest cm11 + gapps + twrp 3 ( i think i mentioned the Files before).
If it works - fine! (and can think about flashing other roms).
If it does'nt work: restore the backup from recovery .
But it is your device and your decision.

Hi
cm11 should not make any trouble at all.
I do not know why this message turned up.
Please tell me what exact Recovery you used for flashing (e.g. philz cwm 6.0.4.7) and which cm 11 you flashed.
Maybe the Recovery should be updated to latest.
Still I wish somebody would confirm that your korean converted device can be treated as an i9100.

Hi again
Just did some searching and a reason for this error is as I supposed:
You have to update the Recovery.
Flash in present philz Recovery the "cwm 6.0.4.7".
Then use this Recovery to flash latest cm11 + gapps + twrp 3

hello!
thanks TriboDoP but i'm sorry i thing something went wrong for me. i have install philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip as you said but after that my phone just brick. fortunately i have reinstalled it USING ODIN!!! (i had no choice and i desperately tried with odin and it worked). Now i have 2 questions: 1) why did i got a brick after installing philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip??? 2) now that i see that i can flash using odin is there any safety alternative with ODIN to install android 4.4.2 or 5.1? any other suggestions will be appreciate.
really, thanks for your help. i really appreciate
