Before flashing Cyanogenmod I really need to install ClockWorkMod? Because when I press power + volume some kind of pre-installed CWM appears and do have all the function I need (wipe/factory reset, select update from sd card etc) Can't I Install Cyanogenmod from there?
Sorry if I have bad english :angel:
Yes, you do need to install CWM. Also meaning of pre-installed CWM, it is Samsung Stock Recovery. It is very easy method to get CWM on your note.

Thanks for answering! I got it, but I have another doubt, If I install Cyanogenmod in my device, I will have lower graphics in-game? Something like no developer optimisation for my ROM (no antialiasing, poor texture quality etc)? Or This depends of the device not the ROM?
flashing CWM also is very important because it has Backup and restore options which are not included in stock recovery
1st thing I do for years is taking nand backup to restore in case on any failure (which happens alot with trying roms and mods)

There is some way for I get custom Android themes and apps with samsung's ROM? Like update the apps to custom android apps? Can I substitute the notification bar too?

Get Apex launcher or one of the other launchers available. Easy to theme and remains stock.
I don't believe you should have problems in games as the cm10 team use the aosp or aokp rom. Straight from google like on the nexus series. They then tweak and theme as they please...

Ok, I I'm going to install Cyanogenmod, but I have Windows 8 so I need to disable driver signature enforcement, I've already did it, long time ago, to Install jelly bean on my Xperia Mini Pro, I need to do It again every time I'm going to install any custom ROM or it's a lifelong kind of thing?

Every time I flash a custom rom I simply download the zip file and copy to the sd card. Flash using CWM...
Never disabled anything on my PC and it always works. I too have win 8...

So how did you flashed CWM? Cyanogenmod official wiki tells me this:
"NOTE: On Windows 8 you must disable driver signature enforcement in order to use zadig"

You're using Heimdall, not ODIN.. ODIN easier to use though Heimdall good too.
If you are rootedalready you can also use Mobile ODIN, pro version to be safe.... Easiest way I know how...

Yep, that should be ok... Root and CWM first then CM10...
Just a suggestion, in ODIN untick "reboot". This way you can go to recovery before it reboots and changes back to stock recovery... It does this so you do need to boot to recovery afterwards manually. volume up + power until logo appears then release power button... Then you can flash CM10 but make sure to follow all the steps...
Oh yeah, in ODIN, DON'T TICK REPARTITION... You will end up with a big problem if you do...

I bought my S3 used and it was already unlocked but from what I can tell still had the stock ROM (base version says it is I535VRLF2 but DEVICE STATUS says it is modified). When it powers up, I do not get a CWM or TWMP screen -- it goes directly to the normal startup so I am not sure what the previous owner loaded/did. I do not see any folders in the root folder (using ES FIle Explorer) for CWM and nothing in DATA/BACKUP (EDIT: just saw build number is VRALG7)...
Today I got a notice about an OTA upgrade (to HE) and got help on how to freeze it (as I did not want to lose root and all the customization I did to some files) but now I am wondering what changes were made from F2 to HE. I did find a post that talks about the HE upgrade.
Was F2 the previous OTA for the S3, or did my phone miss other OTAs? And if so, I am missing out on some important changes where I should let the OTA happen and then go and unlock the phone again? I read a number of threads about 'the new radio' which I assume is software to improve the phone or WIFI. Am I missing out?
Thanks

I don't think you are missing out on anything to be honest. I did update mine and reroot without any issues, but can't really tell a difference. I would still do it so I can have the latest update on my phone since this one doesn't lock anything that we can't get back into.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
There has been only three official releases, F2,G7,and HE. Since you are at G7 I would go ahead and OTA HE. Latest ROMS are based off of it plus you will have all the latest firmware and modem.

Thanks for the reply. Will that break either my root or unlock (actually, I am not sure what state this phone is at since I did not do it -- I do find SuperSU in APPS, and have granted SuperUser to programs like Titanium Pro but there is nothing for CWM or other ROM managers...)?
Frank
If you did an OTA to get to G7 your root is probably gone. You said you have Titanium installed, try to use it. If not rooted it won't work and will advise you so. If this is the case do the OTA to HE and then you will be up to date stock ROM wise.

No, sorry, I must not have explained it correctly. Titanium Pro, ES File Explorer, etc works fine, and I can edit/delete/freeze, etc no problem. So it is still rooted (or unlocked, I can figure out which is which). I would update to HE but only if it did not mess up what I have....

Ok I understand now. Root and unlocked are two different things. You can flash an HE ROM and not lose your root. Unlock in your case I think you are referring to the bootloader. It will have to be unlocked prior to flashing custom ROMS. Get an app called EZ Unlock from the Playstore and it will unlock bootloader for you if it's not unlocked already.
I recommend CleanROM 3.1 if you decide to flash. Hope this has helped you some.
I'm trying to revert back to custom because i lost my IMEI but the process I was following required me to flash "VRALF bootchain" 2x and then flash "HE package" but i dont know where to get the HE package and i tried flashing root66 and VRALHD but they both failed can someone help me?

I am not interested in loading any custom ROMs (although I am hoping we get the official JB soon). The only thing that is of interest to me is to be able to run certain programs that require superuser access (e.g. Titanium Pro) and to be able to edit and delete files in the root directory. So I assume all I need is root, and I don't want any OTA updates to take that away (or overwrite files that I have modified or edited that deal with the OS). Maybe that is why I cannot find any reference to CWM -- the previous owner only rooted it but did not unlock it....

Got just the thing for you. First test to make sure you have newest CWM. Power down, Hold volume up,home button,and lock button at same time until phone flashes twice then release. This will put you in recovery and you can see what version you have. The latest is 6.0.1.2. If not you can find newest version or a touch version right here at XDA. Then if you want just a rooted HE version here you go.

Or you can download GooManager and flash TWRP for a more user friendly touch recovery. :laugh:
And flash the same rom from Scott.

OK. I have 6.0.0.8 right now. I am surprised it was there, as with my Nexus and my TP on a cold boot it would show CWM at startup. And there would be folders in the root directory (/CWM). But yes, I have CMW.
And OK on now being able to download and install a rooted HE. But most are saying it either does nothing or makes the phone run a little hotter, so unless I see a pressing need, I will just stay with what I have.

I had tried TWRP with my HP TP and although it has a nice interface, one time, on loading a new nightly, it TOTALLY messed up my TP. I thought it was bricked. I ended up having to do a complete restore back to WebOS using WebDoctor and a lot of what I thought was code-level input via the PC trying to bring it back to life. Since then, I have only used CWM.
Thanks for the input though!

It is personal choice. I have not had any problems with it and have been running since device was released for pre-order. I run whatever recovery seems to be most stable for the device. CWM for Tbolt. Amon Ra for Rezound. And now TWRP for S3. Have seen more bricks and failed flashes contributed to CWM so I stick with TWRP.

The OTA installed with a custom recovery installed? Interesting. Usually OTA's fail if anything but stock recovery is installed. I only lost root but restored root with OTA Rootkeeper with stock recovery. Good to know that custom recovery can be installed and still get OTAs!

I wouldn't expect wonders but I'm using CM10 and it's definitely an improvement.
I just rooted and unlocked my tablet last night. Doing some reading atm and it looks like my next step would be to install CWM/ROM Manager and then go to town with the ROMs. My question though is what can I do without a Windows desktop/laptop? I'm currently deployed and forgot to bring my laptop charger. I had enough battery left to root my tablet and thats about it. Then I unlocked it with only the tablet. Do I need to use a computer for most ROMs? Or can I download them directly to the tablet and then install them? I've also got a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0(stock/not rooted)...can that be used for anything that might require a desktop/laptop?
Is Goo Manager better than ROM Manager?
Do not use rom manager. You will brick your device!

You can use Goo but have to be rooted to do so.
Other way is fastboot. You'll need to be able to use a cmd prompt and have the adroid sdk installed.
Download the TWRP 2.3.1.0 version from the goo website (rename to twrp.blob) and use the following commands to to flash it whilst the tablet is in fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

If it's still at the pretty much factory default for most manufacturers (i.e., FAT32), you'll be fine. How are you going to get the custom ROM file on that card?

A couple of questions to add since I am in a similar situation with a new, locked tf700. I've read as much as I could about everything but I just want to be very certain of the order of things I have to do.
I'm on ICS (.26).
1. unlock
2. nvflash
3. update to jb (should i do .20 or .23?)
4. flash twrp
5. flash cleanrom
Is that all?
Or should I root in ICS and use OTA rootkeeper and use goomanager at JB?
Thanks for the help!
Hi guys since today im a proud owner of a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 stock 4.1.2, but now comes the question, is it possible to Root it without flashing anything?
I only need root access to install a few apps, FolderMount, Titanium, Root explorer, etc.
I own too a Galaxy S2 that I rooted by the method of "rooting without flashing unsecure kernel" is it possible to apply the same method to the Note 10.1?
THANKS for any help given.

Welcome to the club. Take a look at all the sections for the tablet and make sure you read the stickies too.
Method #2 and youl be good to go.

Let me ask you this, why no flashing? As far as I know it's either Odin or flash. You need to get a custom recovery on it in order to root.
---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
Also with the s2 the recovery and kernel are in one. This is not.
Thanks for your help and time spent helping me, but I think I will pass the root on the Note, I thought there was a more easier/safe method like that on the S2.

There was an Exynos exploit method but Samsung patched the security hole a few updates ago.
The method in the link that was posted does alter your flash count and that can be correct but you are the owner of the device and if you are not comfortable flashing you tablet I wouldn't.
I have flashed mine and tried a few rom's but I always ended up resetting my flash counter and going back to stock.
Folder mount works great and that was the reason I rooted in the first place but you can store your files on the ext drive and transfer them back and forth manually but I found with my fast wifi I'm better off re-downloading the data along with "Helium - App Sync and Backup" to backup and restore my data and you do not need root, only draw back is that you have to have a computer connection for backup and restore to work.
.
Yes, its just a matter of not feeling confortable, and there is also the risk of blocking the camera. (had a similar issue with 4.1.2 on S2 needed to downgrade to 4.0.4).
But it seeems to me a bit odd that to grant root access we need to flash the rom.
I don't think you read that right. You're not flashing a ROM, just a custom recovery through ODIN, then a root app. It's actually very simple. (Any simpler and I would be concerned about rogue app exploits)
Fyi: I'm also new to Samsung devices and bought my tablet this week. Rooted it this morning by following the stickies, but sticking with the stock ROM for now. I'm more than happy with the tablet so far.

There is no flashing a rom with method 2. You Odin the custom recovery then you have to flash the superuser into the system. You need superuser to get root and Odin is the easiest way.
Trust me we have all been in your shoes about being nervous, I've been doing this a long time and this method is really easy.
You can also use this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002
It does require ODIN but as has been stated this is the norm. You are not replacing any kernels or flashing another rom, you are just adding the root components. Using this method also leaves stock recovery intact...
If you woory about flash counter then run triangleaway after to reset the flash counter and recoveries....
I found doing this, doing a factory reset from settings then reflashing the Stock rom using Mobile ODIN pro gave me a stock standard, but rooted, rom with all statuses "Official" and 0 flash count....
A lot of work I know but then worthwhile things generally require it...
Ok, I followed the Method 2 made everything like on video, after pressing Power+Volume Up, I entered on STOCK Recovery, not the CWM,even so, I apply the .zip and I get:
MANUAL MODE
--Appling Multi-CSC....
Applied the CSC-code:LUX
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
--Install /sdcard....
Finding update package....
Opening update package....
Verifying update package.....
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:signature verification failed
I also retryed and turned off auto-reboot in Odin before starting the process but I get the same thing, now what should I do?
Its not rootable?
Ok, Its finally rooted, What I had to do,
On Odin unthick auto-reboot, When Odin finished doing its thing, dont shutdown the Tablet but press Power+Volume Up and go directly to CWM recovery and there follow the rest of instructions.
Thanks to everybody that took time to help me, thats why I love this forum.
A BIG THANK YOU.

I had already read that stickie and if I have correctly read, Method 2 (and the others) involves Odin and flashing something and that is what I dont want.
Isnt there a way to root without flashing?

I see that I'm probably too late now to answer the OP.
But maybe others can be interested.
I find that the easiest way to root (without odin and without installing a custom recovery) is Framaroot.
It uses some Exynos exploits, and has been also recently updated by the developer to counteract Samsung's patches.
It may work or it may not work on some devices and with some of the more recent firmware.
In any case giving it a try doesn't cost anything. It's just an app.
If it works the app can also be used to temporarily remove the root.
For me it worked with Firmware N8000XXCLL3 and I know that it works with some more recent fw too.
Furthermore it doesn't change the counter and even the Devices Status remains "Official". Well, actually the devices status may change to "Custom" after few days with the tablet on, but it returns Official after a simple reboot.

I don't use CWM, but see if there is a signature seeing to turn it off. Also make sure your md5 of the zip is correct.

What were your options on the page right before that? What option did you select to initiate that?
Maybe try using the files from here instead:

Where should i look for a signature ? I have downloaded the file 3 times, just to manke sure that i wasen't bad.
Before that, it was the page where i choose "apply update from external storage"
I have tryed the CF, still the same

I would use the touch cwm, and what rom are you trying to install?
hey all, as the title states. cwm 6.0.3.3 is now available to flash through rom manager. just flashed a few new zip's and did a backup and restore without issues. I thought I would create this topic due to the fact there are so many questions floating around about different and stable recovery's for this model. happy flashing!
Thx.
Used SGS4 Flasher to flash it.
Everything works.

Available through rom manager? Bull. I get the "blah blah unsupported blah blah" message.
Downloaded manually from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
It shows 'ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3' (after restart) and it works.
Hi,
I just bought ClockworkMod ROM Manger in the google store, simply to support the great work done.
But now I'm a little disapointed, the 6.0.3.3. supported for my I9505 is not in there, even if it is an official release (not as touch nor normal)
and
I can not find things like the cyanogen mod stuff in the ROMs area like I was used to even in the freeware for my former I9100 before.
Is the support/update within this tool so slow or even have you stopped updating the content of the ROM Manager?!
As I said I'm a bit disapointed now!
Around 5€ for that is a bit much then, isn't it?!
CWM touch you can get for free in here and the reboot to download/recovery can be set by a menue update which can be flushed.
So whats the tool then good for and worth 5€?!

You don't even need a modding to directly reboot to recovery or download mode: simply install this free app from the Google Play (root needed):

Worked like a charm via SGS4 Flasher! Thank you for info.
I clicked device not listed and an option version 2.x or 3.x comes up. Which one should I pick?

I'm currently on 4.4.2. I ve been doing a lot of reading so bare with me. I'm simply getting tired of my phone, its been getting incredibly slow lately so I've thought about finally rooting and getting rid of the bloat. I should have done some roms before it was too late to get anything custom. I realize my options are incredibly limited now so I'd at least like to root and flash the debloated rom that seems to be the only one available. I found the sticky in the development section with all of the links to the only files available for 4.4.2 but when I attempt to download the root file, my computer flags it as a trojan so I can't go any further. What's the deal there? I"m on windows 8.1 so it it just my computer stating its not safe when it really is or can someone point me to a root file that will work.
Any programs that I need to download as well on my computer to flash this and anything else. I had my last phone set up well with custom roms but its been a little while so i'm out of the loop currently.
Thanks :good:

Why not just download it to your phone? Unless your using Odin then I can understand the need for a pc.
From my CM11 S3
In years past I just downloaded the apk file, connected the phone to my laptop and then ran the file in order to root. I thought it had to be done that way.

Well it would only make sense for the laptop running Windows to flag a android file which is an apk file as a virus. Windows doesn't and can't open it. If it's towelroot your referring to then yea downloading it to your phone is a lot easier

That makes sense. I took your advice and just downloaded it to my phone, loaded the towelroot and rooted. Simple. Also download safestrap and busybox. I rebooted and in safestrap created a backup file. This version is a bit different than the last that I'm use to. Is there a location that it saves to on my phone ? I thought I'd copy it to my computer to keep a backup there also.
I'm trying to get use to the differences but seems fairly simple. Is there a specific method to flashing a rom thru safestrap? Or do I just drop the zip file to my ext sd, reboot, wipe and flash via safestrap? Thanks for the help.

That I'm not sure of, I'm on an unlocked bootloader. May want to check in the safestrap thread
I know a little about how safestrap works. You utilize what's called a rom slot basically making the main rom as secondary and whatever BL rom you flash as the default one

Ya its a little confusing to me. It sounds like you use a rom slot to flash a rom and keep the stock one available to switch back to if need be? But it seems that people are flashing a new rom into the stock rom slot for better battery life. But that would mean then that the stock rom is no longer available to toggle to?

If you flashed on stock slot you only have one O/S to work with and it's recommended to use stock slot for better battery life. Safestrap is using TWRP for backup, restore and other functions so when you backup you should keep your backup on your external SD card. When you select backup, you should choose external sdcard and it will create a backup in the TWRP folder on your external sdcard, then make a copy on your pc if needed. Don't ever keep your backup on your internal storage because some day you're so drunk that you may wipe the internal by mistake..lol
