now i am using cm10.2 with no Gapps tell me how to fix root permission and install cm 12.1 and its gapps o it
Thank u

Before installing any rom at first flash sock rom. Download stock rom from sammobile.com flash it via odin.
Then install cwm recovery CWM recovery . Go to cwm recovery flash Supersu.zip to root ur mobile. Then Flash the custom rom which you want. Download & flash gapps from Here

Hi, What suresh said will work. if you're unable to flash Su zip via recovery then odin is your safest and fool proof way.
And as far as the gapps are concerned, though you can choose according to your liking - reading the ROM's forums give the best output~ People share their experiences with gapps.
I suggest you take a backup before flashing anything, all is well until you flash something & it disintegrates your rom experience, but you just can't go back. So never forget to BACKUP.

installation problem of cm and gapps
i have already try this but this does not work. i install the firmfare with samsung kies then root again with kingo root.after that i install the cmw and try to install cm 12.1 but it didn't work.u are telling me again the same procedure which i have already tried earlier.

Instead of flashing via kies you need to flash via odin.
The problem will be kingroot. You should root by flashing cfautoroot via odin.

installation problem of cm and gapps
ok now i am trying this

root problem
Again it is giving the same problem fix root.Root access possibly lost .now what i do.how can i send u pics of the problem?pics are not attaching here

A little information please ?

I have trued to read and search the forums, but I haven't been able to figure a definitive answer to this...
When I flash CWM on my S2 using Odin, does it root the phone ?
I usually Root (with framaroot), Flash CWM, Flash CM 11 nightly, Re-root using framaroot.
But Can I just do : Flash CWM and Flash the CM 11 nightly ? does it auto root ?
What do you mean, 'usually'? Why is it that you can't just flash each new build of Cm11 from the previous one? Why do you need to re-root in the first place?
When I rooted my phone, rather than using a one-click such as framaroot, I flashed a kernel (siyah in my case) using Odin. That gave me CWM and root. That cuts out the step you're trying to to eliminate, if I've understood your question correctly?
I'm not sure in answer to your direct question, try it and see. Hopefully the alternative method I just gave you makes it a little quicker though
Edit : you could, if flashing CWM only doesn't give you root, just flash SuperSU from there and then continue.

Well mate your question is tricky to understand :cyclops:
1. NO installing CWM wont root your device requires another process (such a framaroot)
2. Aftrer installing CM 11 you dont have to re-root the mobile because CM comes prerooted with superuser !!
3. if you had already managed to install CM 11 think that you have already rooted your mobile
just for typing the 3 points my head spins in short no need for rooting after cm 11 ....and NO cwm wont root your device

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Why do I have to install CWM if I'm already rooted ? Can't I just framaroot then install CM 11 ?
Can I do a CWM, Cyanogen install without rooting ? Since CM already comes rooted. So jut CWM using odin, then CM install ROM. ?
Other question, Let's say I root, flash CWM, flash a ROM (any rom), can I be unrooted after that and have to reroot again ? Or do ALL roms come pre rooted ?

CyanogenMod comes rooted. Also, the default recovery on CyanogenMod is CWM as well, so you can boot into recovery with volume up + home + power and flash a new build from there. You don't even need to use framaroot or flash CWM using Odin...
And yes, most (almost all) custom ROMs should come rooted unless you're flashing stock Samsung ROM through Odin. Besides, if you're flashing something in recovery, I don't think you need to be rooted.

Just to make sure that you understand everything i'm segregating your questions
1.Why do i install CWM when i'm already rooted?
Rooting is a process which just gives your overall control to your device, but just rooting wont make you eligible to flash any ROMS. Now when your install CWM (Clock Work Mod) its a unique type of recovery which enables your to flash Custom Roms. Your ordinary stock rom (your samsung firmware) also does have a recovery (stock recovery) which cannot penetrate into system files. So CWM is a must to flash roms !
Can i do a CWM and flash Cyanogenmod?
Absolutely NO!! Just because CM comes prerooted doesn't mean that you can flash CM without rooting.. CWM requires root to flash and change system files. For instance your are in Stock Samsung Firmware not rooted you just install CWM flash Cyanogenmod and you'll end up in a bootloop or softbrick. Since your system didnt allow files inside coz no ROOT!!..In the other hand if your already running Cyanogenmod (any version) you dont have to root nor flash CWM because they come prerooted and preinstalled with CWM.so you can flash on the go
Let's say I root, flash CWM, flash a ROM (any rom), can I be unrooted after that and have to reroot again ? Or do ALL roms come pre rooted ?
Well cyanogenmod has an inbuilt function to disable root and most of the Roms comes with it now it can be found in settings >developer options> and root access...but not all roms im assuming. on the other hand yes some roms never come prerooted such as (omni rom 4.4.2) where you have to flash superuser to get root. But as i said incase of all prerooted roms there is an option to disable root
hope this helps you understand about rooting and cwm :good:
Thank you both for your answers, I understand much more now.
BUT
Last two answers are in conflict. They say the opposite.
which one to choose ?

[Q] CM 11 EXPERIMENTAL NiGHTLY - Error status 7

------------- SOLVED! --------------
Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works

SGS3 I9300: Root and Custom Recovery lost after CM13 (Root enabled in dev opts)

Dear All,
Sorry if am re-posting the same, and as am new here and need an urgent help, started this thread.
1. My Samsung Galaxy SIII International (I9300) was rooted and I had CM11 stable/snapshot version there since last 2-3 weeks.
2. Yesterday, I tried upgrading the latest CM13 nightly for my device.
3. While doing so, and rebooting, it asked me the normal message "root possibly lost, fix, yes or no". I accidentally pressed no.
4. Then I noticed after CM13 was flashed, that I do not have root access anymore. Please note that at this point in time, I was not aware that it has to be explicitly enabled in developer options.
5. I came to know that I lost root when I tried to boot in to recovery (CWM) to install gapps.
6. Now, under the impression that I do not have root anymore, I tried to root again with Odin as I had been doing all these days.
- By doing that, ODIN removed my custom recovery (CWM) and flashed it with stock recovery.
- Though ODIN said PASS after reboot, I still do not have root access.
7. Removed cache, wipe data, and factory reset, multiple times but no help.
8. Enabled root for both apps and adb in Developer options, but no use.
9. I also tried KINGO root ( a very popular tool for SGS3 these days) but in vain.
10. Now, am stuck with CM13 and stock recovery and unable to do anything with ROM manager or anything else as I do not have root anymore.
11. Am able to install few apks for whatsapp and facebook for now and living with it, but it wouldn't let me install playstore apk too anymore.
Highly appreciate any quick feedback.
Many Thanks,
BR,
Shiva
I belive you need to flash the stock 4.3 jellybean rom with odin, and root it afterwards.

TWRP 3.0.0..???????????
First of all.. Update TWRP to 3.0.2, you are NOT supposed to see the message that tells you that root is gone, as (official) CM13 includes root from now on.
For root, inside Android go to Settings > Developer Options > Root > Only apps.
Do it via Odin as only 3.0.2 is available in a .tar file (latest version), should not be hard.
Not only that, but upgrading from CM11 to CM13 is not recommended, as it causes multiple compatibility issues with installed apps (afaik).
You are better off with wiping it all and install CM13 Clean, and if you decide to; you must also flash Gapps (optional) directly after CM13 (no reboot).

SGS3 I9300: Root and Custom Recovery lost after CM13 - SOLVED
Dear All,
Thank you for your valuable advice and suggestions. I used ODIN to flash back to stock ROM and now everything works as it is like out of the box. I will root again perhaps in a few days and the flash the stable release of CyanogenMod. Will keep you posted. I wish the Android M snapshot is released by then.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Shiva

No Rom booting, no twrp access ... need help !

Hello,
I have a samsung alpha from korea (G850S) and I tried to install the custom rom ResurrectionRemix so I rooted my phone using odin 3 and CF auto root, then I have installed twrp using flashify app and finally installed the rom.
The rom was apparently not stable because it has booted the first time but when I rebooted my phone it was stuck on samsung alpha logo, so I decided to install Jumbo rom.
I made a wipe (system, data ...) and install it using trwp. The problem is the instalation failed and now I have no rom and I can access to trwp anymore
I only have access to download mode and android system recovery <3e>, I have tried to instal trwp again using odin but when I press vol up+home+power I have the samsung alpha logo
With android system recovery I can have adb acess but I dont know what to do.
Could you help me ? Thank you
This happened to me with my g850f. Make official rom installation with odin. Use cf auto root again BUT you must install twrp 3.0.0.0 for higher android versions like lollipop or marsmallow. You can find twrp 3.0.0.0 or higher versions by searching xda forum. After rooting your phone you can install twrp with flashfy. You can find it in play store. Good luck
Sorry for bad english

Flashing a different Custom Recovery without a charging port (Broken charging port)

So i wanted to install custom rom(cyanogenmod 14.1) on my S3 device I realized that my device has already CWM (v5.5.0.4 :: CF -v1.5 ). I can flash cyanogenmod 14.1 with no issues but I can't flash gapps. After installing gapps, I get a lot of errors when I boot(Setup wizard has stopped). I tried 2 different versions of gapps(aroma,nano) both of them didn't work. I started to think that my CWM version is the issue. I want to flash another Custom Recovery like newer version of CWM of TWRP but as I said my charging port is broken. I just want my device to have android nougat with google apps. I hope I can find a solution
Download the TWRP App from Google play and install. You could also search for a flashable TWRP recovery und Update within TWRP to latest version by flashing the .img file.
The problem wont be the recovery. Make sure gapps is the correct one for your device. Check the software versions and cross reference them against Apkmirror.com.
Beamed in by telepathy.
That's a problem of Cyanogenmod 13 / 14.
Wipe your Cache/System/Data Partitions and reflash Cyanogenmod 14.1. Then don't boot up, you've to install the gapps package directly after that.
Make sure that you have downloaded the ARM 7.1 gapps-package.
You can flash twrp or stock rom from 'mobile odin'. Or you can download flashable twrp.zip....but flashing stock ROM requires additional download
I solved the problem. The problem was recovery and i knew it. I downloaded the apk of TWRP App from their official website. It worked flawlessly. After that i Flashed Cyanogenmod 14.1 then gapps with the latest version of TWRP and perfect! Everything works without any problem. I hope this answer is helpful for the other people having the same issue.
