Hello,
I am referencing this a guide on how to root 4.1.2 Samsung Galaxy 3 Verizon from this site. (It won't let me post the link)
I had already installed TWRP from the goomanager app before I went to this guide. I did run the unlock bootloader only from Odin. My samsung logo flashes fast on boot like it should for an unlocked bootloader. I did not flash the VRALEC Bootchain.
I did a backup of my stock rom that was rooted. I did a wipe and factory reset of the device then tried to install CyanogenMod 10.1.3 from the zip. It gave me an error that it couldn't open the zip file. I did a restore from my backup and on boot it said it could not do a normal boot. I had to restore with a stock rom via odin.
Do I have to flash the VRALEC bootchain? Or was that just necessary for the TWRP to be installed? If so I'm thinking when I ran the install recovery script from the goomanager app it did that already. I did not flash any of the listed bootchains after listed in step 6.
Thanks for your help

I rooted my ville c2 and installed twrp. And after that i downloaded OTA 4.1.1 and clicked the install button. But it ended up in twrp. And i can't even flash the ota.zip through twrp and fastboot. It always said error. status 7... So somebody show me a way and if you have stock recovery.img, share it please.

you need the stock recovery for installing OTAs,
flash the stock recovery and install the OTA (you dont need to relock your bootloader)
after installing the OTA you can flash your custom recovery back again.
It could be that you will loose your root after installing the OTA so you have to root your phone again.
I dont have any experience with root-keeper etc. so I cant tell you anything about it.
you will find the stock recovery for the One S C2 here:

Hey I have a D800 but the software is D80020u. Its on 4.4.2. I use IO root and successfully rooted my device. But when ever I try to install Clockworkmod 6.0.4.4. and reboot into recovery it just stock wipes my entire phone. It never switch to Clockwork Recovery.

Use AutoRec. It will downgrade your bootloader to be able to flash recovery.
Same issue here
Flashing it back to jellybean worked for me! Thank you again Xda !

Hey all,
Its been a while since I have messed around with my XT926 and I am having some trouble flashing a 4.1.2 ROM on it. What I've done so far is to RSDLite to a 4.4.2 build (one that is still compatible with boot loader unlock) and unlocked the boot loader. I was having trouble getting a recovery to flash other than epinters cwm and twrp 2.8. I tried flashing nexesue v3.6 in both recoveries but am stuck on the Motorola symbol on blot. If I RSDLite back to a 4.1.2 build can I then flash an older recovery and then the ROM?
EDIT: phone is also rooted using towelroot.
Any help is appreciated.
DID you try twrp 7.1.0?

Gents,
funny question.
I just installed by Odin the very last firmware (COI1) with custom image from here, and
looks like it is locked and now I stuck with the stock ROM...
No chance to put back TWRP...
Before everything was fine.
I tried bootloader from this post, no luck.
Any advice how to get TWRP back or just how to revert to custom image?..
You could just flash TWRP via odin by downloading a flashable zip and to install custom software you'll have to install TWRP or any other custom recovery first. After installing twrp go to install and flash the rom from there. Reply and will help you further!
That's the exact problem: after Odin I still don't have TWRP...
Flashfire is a great app that you can use to flash official firmware. Here are links to the app thread
XDA Thread
Google Play
I was able to flash official CPF3 firmware from a CM13 rom and was able to keep unlocked bootloader and root CPF3 from installing supersu zip file from TWRP recovery.
when you choose the firmware to install, only select Boot.img, System, & Cache and it will flash the firmware, and it may bootloop, just pull battery out and and back in and reboot, I can't remember if I did a battery pull during bootloop and booted into recovery to factory reset after firmware flash and it booted right up.
This is my new favorite app, you do have to be rooted. You may find more info at the app thread. But just wanted to let everybody here know it does work and it's awesome.
