Clockwork issues

I have had a little bit of an issue lately Clockwork mod rebooting my phone so that I can get to it. It just won't do it. I know I still have root...superuser pops up with its usual message...and know CWM is still there....the only way I can access it is to hook the usb up to the computer then put the phone in recovery it pops up like normal. I have flashed a couple of TIMe since this started...and yes I done complete wipes....just don't know what the issue is. I've even tried flashing older versions....multiple times. Any thoughts?......cause I'm out of ideas.

How do you normally boot into recovery?

I dont know what you would like to do with CWM but maybee you can use the Clockworkmod Manager (as Android App)...

Normally I would install a ROM starting at the ROM Manager, unless a full wipe was recommended. Clockwkorkmod manager app? Where did you find that one? Anyways, I put Android Revolution 4 on my phone last night and all the sudden it was fine. My new issue is with CM7....can't put on G-apps with out going into a boot loop...and it won't let me sideload the Market at all. I really don' know why I keep having issues like this. I do regular full wipes. Maybe it's my phone....don't normally have this problem.....I've rooted about 7 phones now and installed multiple ROMS on all of them. Thanks for the help guys.

Have you tried renaming the Android Revolution install file PD98IMG.zip and putting it on your SD card? Then you just hold the volume down button and power on. You might ask some of these guys about using ADB to do all of that stuff on your computer...or just research it yourself. They don't mind answering questions, especially when someone actually takes the time to try to check for themselves first. I can't really help you with ADB yet....I still haven't got it figured out....I just made my laptop into a dual-boot computer so that I could learn a little more about linux by using Ubuntu. Got all my programs up and running and working together...but I'm still trying to figure out how to talk to my phone. Have to add a few little things into the root of my system yet I guess.
Good luck man.

[Q] Rooting and gingerbread update

I've spent some time on the forum trying to find an answer, but obviously that didnt happen.
I have my GS4G and want to just ROOT it without installing any rom to replace the firmware.
1. If i root my phone, can i do JUST that? or are there other steps after simply rooting that are considered important for the stability of my phone?
2. After i root my phone, will i still be able to do the kiesmini/OTA gingerbread *official* (not leaked) update?
My main reason for wanting to do this is for the bloatware and increasing performance, and to just have overall more 'control' (similar to the feeling of wiping a new computer from the manufacture's preloaded poop).
I have superoneclick v1.9.5. I used it as a test on my old MT3G, and installed the GingerYoshi rom, and all worked very well. I just dont want to brick my GS4G, as i paid full price D:.
sorry if this has been asked/answered, i try to play by the rules, but just didnt find my answer.
thanks,
Greg

Super one click root 1.7 was what I used. It just roots the phone, as any other rooting method should. You can get ota fine...I always did. Never had a problem.

Just so you know there's no one-click root method for Gingerbread for the SGS4G yet. Maybe around the time the official ROM comes out there will be.

what does:
"error:more than one device"
mean?? That pops up when i hit root. I only have one phone connected to my PC.
I'm assuming its multiple instances of ADB running? Im not sure..
*EDIT* My mistake lol. still had my MT3G plugged in, my bad!
successfully rooted. Thanks

[Q] please help

hey guys i need help.
to update with lg updater it has to be with windows pc?
i didnt have the ota cause i've been rooted but i really need to update my baseband i am on mac. i used to have cracked windows but ever since i update to lion ox i lost it.
oh and is there a driver for this phone and a way to flash CWM with a mac?
oh another thing i saw on a threat long ago about a dialer code for the ota but cant find it

Haven't found anything in the way of mac drivers, sorry.
Your best bet is to borrow a friend's xp pc, or visit their house or something.
It shouldn't take you more than half hour to install the update and then flash CWM anyway so it doesn't even have to be a long visit.
Are you stock right now? Haven't been able to install CWM etc...?

No I'm not stuck. Its just I never updated my phone with the official gb
And need to update with it so I can update the baseband.
That's all.

Yeah man I definitely recommend the updated baseband my GPS is awesome ever since I updated.
Definitely get yourself to a WinXP machine though cuz the updater tool seems to be picky with that.
Plus you don't even need to unroot or revert to stock recovery either. Matter fact I was running Eagle's Blood Froyo with CWM when I updated mine and it worked without a hitch took about 20 mins.

or is it also considered a rom?
and are basebands different for each rom?

[Q] Problem with my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III

Okay, so I got the GS3, rooted it, and everything was going great. Granted, I'm a noob when it comes to android and all their fun little gadgets, I kept the stock ROM on my phone... than T-Mobile sent out the update for the phones, I didn't unroot my phone before the update. I updated my phone and it is now NOT rooted. I have tried to root my phone again, but have been unsuccessful. My phone now says its modified, and I can't check for updates... the app called Triangle Away no longer works, and I can't get my phone to say normal status. My phone is still NOT rooted, however, it says modified. How can I root my phone now that the update has come out and has been installed on my phone that originally was rooted? I don't have a backup of my stock ROM when it was rooted because the update deleted my backup that I originally had. I have a 2003 DELL Latitude C610 with Windows XP Professional installed on it, and was wondering if my laptop was compatible with rooting my phone? The first time I rooted my phone, I had to use a friend of mines laptop because I could not root it on my laptop.Thank you for reading, PLEASE HELP!

My advice would be to flash the stock ROM that you updated to, with an insecure kernel that allows root. You will also need a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (find them in the first forum link below).
You should check out the T-Mobile Galaxy S III Android Development forum for a bunch of ROM options. Here is a thread within the forum mentioned above that details all of the information you will need, along with the ROM download links and plenty of instruction.
If you are looking to stay stock, I would suggest flashing the pre-rooted T999_UVDLJA ROM, located in that forum. Since you lost root you should just use the Odin method to get your new ROM loaded. Once you are up and running, I would suggest getting a custom recovery on there ASAP for backups/restorations etc.

Okay, I will try your suggested methods and get back to you when I can.. thank you for your help

Okay, so I tried to flash the stock rooted ROM onto my phone, but the Odin program keeps getting stuck at "Get pit for mapping".. now I tried it on my friends laptop when I first wanted to root my phone and it worked, however, my friend isn't exactly willing to help me at the moment. Any suggestions? I have used multiple different cables and the cable I used on my friends laptop is the same one I'm trying to use on my laptop.. could it be my laptop that's causing the problem?

Hmm sounds like it might be related to your laptop since it worked before with your friend's box... Try setting Odin to Windows XP Compatibility mode with admin access. Unplug all usb ports except for your mouse/keyboard and try again. Hopefully that will let you get Odin past the "Get pit for mapping" issue.
Looks like this "Get pit for mapping" issue has been run across before, try reading up on it here if the above method still won't work.

Yeah, I couldn't manage to get it to work with my laptop.. I got it rooted with a different one though and made a nandroid as to prevent any problems on the future... Thanks for the help you had given

[Q] Question about root-injected ROMs

Little backstory: A friend of mine had just recently bought a Razr Maxx HD on craigslist. The individual who sold him the phone had the phone rooted. My friend didn't want the phone rooted, and specifically asked the individual to unroot it. We used the application root checker to check if the phone was still rooted and it said the phone wasn't. My friend restored the phone to factory settings and it still had the superuser application installed. Now, I personally have rooted phones before and if I have all my information correct the process to root a phone requires you to over-write the factory/stock ROM and replacing it with a root-injected ROM. My friend wishes to have his phone completely stock. The kernel seems to be the right factory/stock one, but he and I are still concerned that it is still rooted. Although there's really no harm to rooting, he wishes to get the complete stock ROM on his device. Now, the question lol. Is there any danger to keeping the root-injected ROM on his device? Could we use ODIN to put the official stock ROM back on the device? Should he not even worry that his current ROM is root-injected?

Huh. Root is just access to system level commands, and usually some exploit within the stock rom is used to install and run SU/superuser. If it has wireless provider branding (boot screen says Verizon, for example) it's a stock rom... and you're fine, just delete the SU app if it bothers you.

Hey, Guys - Thanks for the help..
I reboot the phone and it says droid but nothing about verizon. I am not sure if the Razr Maxx HD normally says verizon but my girlfriend has the phone and i will try it on hers to see if the rom is stock.
The problem is i am worried there are other things in this rom that are not the norm. It will not let you uninstall superuser at all. If you google superuser and you read about the app it does say in the App info that if the Rom you install has superuser in System/Apps then it cant be removed which is whats scaring me.
I really want the phone back to 100% factory stock as i bought this second hand and I cant take chances with anything weird in the OS.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Craig

The surest, easiest way to make sure it is stock is to reflash the phone using the Droid Razr HD Utility Tool, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970267. It will put the factory firmware back on the phone. Afterwards, there will be 2 OTA updates to install. The first one is an incremental bug fix update. The second is the JB update.
EDIT: The normal boot screen is the Motorola logo followed by the Droid animation.
