Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 and when trying to put an apk into the system/apps folder I accidently the apps folder out of the system folder and now it dosn't start. It runs through the boot animation but then displays a black screen playing the force close vibration pattern. But it boots into recovery and download mode fine so I may as well try a factory reset. So I did and still the same. So now all I can do is flash a ROM. And the one that I want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689310
Cannot be flashed by Odin but only CMW. So now I have to flash a new kernel to get CMW, This one:

But is it wise to do this in the state my device is in? And also I don't have usb debugging enabled.
Can You help?
I dont have hardly any experience but from a general from a general idea/thought, why dont you flash the latest official rootable firmware from Samsung, thus succesfully rooting it, install CWM recovery, from there install the rom you were talking about

I know that is the sensible idea but i'm not a one for flashing roms or kernels as I get worried about bricking and I would prefer to do it all at once.

Buut yeah, factory resetting only wipes the /data & the /cache partition, if you don't have stuff in the /system partition it won't start.
Just go to your device's forum, follow the procedure and your phone will be running like butter again ^^
Its almost impossible to hardbrick a Samsung phone ;-)

I feel really silly asking this question cause i'm new to all this you see but what procedure?
Dosn't matter now. Fixed it by installing a different ROM

Hi all,
You may need to bare with me a little with all of this, I'm extremely new to it all.
I picked up my Nexus S on Monday after previously owning an iPhone and then a Windows Phone 7 handset, firstly I have to say that I can't believe I didn't get an Android phone sooner - they're leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in my opinion and offer a much better!
With the help of a set of instructions I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery to use Clockwork 3.0.0.5, from there I was able to install Superuser from the ZIP to root the device.
Everything is working and rooted but whenever I try and get into the Clockwork recovery it keeps chucking me into the standard recovery, I've tried from the bootloader and from ROM manager.
The problem I have is that I can't backup my ROM because it just takes me to the standard recovery and sits there.
I had a look around but couldn't find anything relating to this on the forum.
There was mention of something called 'sgs kernel flasher' but it states it wont run on Gingerbread which I'm running.
Any ideas?
If you have any questions of something I may have missed out I can answer those!
Sosmething very similar to me recently. I just reflashed the clockwork recovery via adb/fastboot and works like a champ now.

Thanks for the help guys, as I said I'm quite new to all this so sadly the thread title:
"Q about cwm 3.0+ and 2.3.2"
Didn't quite stick out to me!
Problem sorted now though, all backed up and new ROM installed - happy days!
Im getting graphic glitches on all of the ROM (Sense or Cm9). This has been happening after i installed the cm10 8/22 build.
Can anybody please help? Sometimes the screen goes upside down quickly.
p.s its hard to get screenshots of the glitch because they happen so quickly.

I notice you are on Viper's new ROM. I am too and I never got this, not on any Sense ROM or AOSP. My suggestion to you is to start from scratch. Wipe everything, reformat your sdcard (which requires more wiping, so back up on computer), and install a fresh ROM. If you cannot access your sdcard at all, check the dev section; there is a thread to recover bricked devices and undetectable sdcards. Be ware, you may loose everything on the card, pics and all.

after a reboot my sd card came back. wtf? I tried all of that I'm still getting random graphic glitches. I think the cm10 ROM messed up my graphic driver?

No chance unless you installed without a wipe, and then it's slim. Maybe your accelerometer is busted.

I've tried to clear dialer cache/data as well as HTC Sense cache/data but it didn't affect this. Anyone have any other ideas?
Anyone? Just to add a little extra, the phone is completely stock, no root or anything like that.
Are u on custom rom?
If yes reflash it and wipe cache
If no, flash stock rom

Did you install any application which interact with phone dialer? It might be a third party application causing it.
If not, then try to backup your sd card content and perform factory reset after. See if it helps.

As said, my One Side hasn't been rooted and I'm not on a custom ROM. I don't know what caused it, it just seemed to happen. Not sure if I really want to reset to defaults as it's a huge pain to put everything back as it is.
I can't find any appear that interact with the dialler either.

What is your Rom version? Have you update to latest rom? Can issue disappear after restart device? Mine is fix after restart device.
Whats going on people!???
I use to be up here all the time rooting every Android device I have owned and recently last year I went and switched over to Apple. Very pleased with their products I still decided I wanted to try an S3 out so I just got my hands on a Verizon S3 and wanted to root up and put a custom ROM on it, my main concern is the battery life on this rascal and I really want a ROM with great battery life.
What thread or video have you guys followed to root your device because I see a few diffrent videos on Youtube but I see that the rooting process is different for different carriers rooting. Any help would be greatly appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction in trying to root my S3.
Thanks!

Yeah I have it rooted now but when I try to flash a ROM it keeps giving me an error saying
E: Failed to verify whole signature?
I looked it up and I see that they say you need to dowload a new or different recovery but where do I get another one from?

Download the E-Z recovery app from the play store. It is helpful for flashing a new recovery like clockwork recovery or twrp.
As far as battery life goes...

That is stock non rooted.this is the first phone I've had that I had no reason to root.
With that battery life keep in mind that at my kids party I snapped off about 300 pics and 5 2-5 minute videos

Use the unbrick methods from WugFresh tollkit
Go back to kitkat
try erase everything with the file manager inside TWRP

Try ad blocks, anti-virus (paid and free)
I dont known more what to do. Anyone can help me ? i'm considering send the phone back to de dealer to they resolve ( can be 2 weeks without the phone)
