So I installed this recovery successfully (woohoo!) Now the question is, what can I do with it? Obviously rooted and whatnot of course.
I also hear that there is a new firmware upgrade for this tablet specifically, and I was wondering how I could apply that seeing as the system update in my tablet doesn't work... (thanks Verizon?) but you know, just trying to get to some newer firmware.
Thanks in advance!
Here's the recovery that I'm talking about:

Hello,
Long time reader here. I finally made an account recently because I finally wanted to Root my phone and mess around with Cyanogenmod.
My question is this: I have an unlocked, unbranded Samsung GT-i9300 that I purchased from Newegg back in the summer time and I have still yet to receive any sort of update (still on 4.0.4). Can someone explain to me the whole stock updates scenario? I would have thought buying an unlocked, unbranded phone I would have at least gotten updates faster than the Verizon S3. Now.. I know I can flash Cyanogenmod and be done with it. Which I have which leads me to the last question. What happens if I flash my phone with the 4.1.2 stock rom that was just released in Poland recently? Will it work? Why wouldn't it? Does the baseband really matter as far as compatibility? (PDA? CSC?)
Thank you for your time.
I answered my own questions. Thanks for looking
I was so excited I forgot to elaborate a little.
I was successfully able to root my phone using cf root / odin, install clockworkmod recovery, install cyanogenmod 10 then re-flash back to stock using triangleaway, and a stock rom from samsung firmware using odin.
I had thought I bricked my phone when it was in an endless loop on the splash screen but I was able to get into android recovery mod and do a format/wipe/clean cache. *phew*
Hi there,
I have an international HOX+ running version 1.14.401.16 and I'd like to apply the latest updates.
When I first got the phone I dev unlocked it, rooted it and installed TWRP v2.3.3.0.
It is currently 'offering' me an update to 1.17.401.1 but I'm pretty sure this will fail to install with the non-stock recovery present...
From what I've read, I think I need to reinstall the stock recovery and (maybe) relock my device but I can't seem to find a 1.14.401.16 image anywhere?
Am I correct in my assumptions and if so, where can I get the recovery image?
Thanks in advance,
Richard.
I wouldn't bother with the update. If you EVER need to re-ruu you will find it a major pain in the ass, and there's really no plus side to updating

Hello all,
I currently have a Xperia Z2 with this rom installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-envi-rom-stock-beta-t2811710 It's rooted with Android 4.4.4
Now, I want to try Android 5.0 with Cyanogen Mod. But it have a few questions about that.
1) Do I need to unlock my bootloader for this? I'm assuming I do since I install another non-stock version of Android?
2) Is it simply unlocking my phone, and then copying the zip files and then flash them via recovery? Or am I missing something here?
Many thanks!

Did you search? These seem like very very basic questions.
1 - Yes
2 - You also need to wipe data and caches
Hi everyone. ...I am not sure I am posting this in the right section and if I am not I apologize. This may be a long shot but I had just acquired an RCA 7 Voyager II tablet Model # RCT6773W22 and it came with Lollipop 5.0 preinstalled on it and I cannot get it rooted at all. I tried pretty much every method I'm guessing because it's a fairly new update and no one came up with a workaround for it to root it. So my request is does anyone possibly have the factory image of KitKat 4.4 or earlier for this tablet and if not would anyone know a source where I can attain this image? Because I would like to roll it back to KitKat and root it because I know there are a few one-click programs that will root it with the older KitKat updates. And also another question I have is will I be able to use Odin to flash the image to the tablet or will I need to use another program or method? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
First, I had a rooted G3. Never updated it. Now, I have an H830 (T-Moble) variant. I've been rooted since I bought the phone and have never updated because I don't know how to do it without losing root. I'm still on software version H83010d (Android 6.0.1).
From what I've gathered, I just download the .zip in here and install via TWRP and then flash superSU afterwards?
I'm not completely sure what the talk of modifying boot.img or removing recovery-from-boot.p...
My reason for updating is because I want to try the Fulmics ROM or any optimized ROM for that matter. I had one on my G3 and it ran so much better.
But then as a follow up question, is the update process the same from a ROM? Do you just flash an update over the Rom and then re-flash the ROM?
Any links or answers are appreciated so I can finally figure out how to update while retaining root on my devices. :laugh:
