Need help just making sure - General Questions and Answers

Hi, this is my first time rooting and installing a custom rom onto my phone and I just wanted make sure I didn't forget anything of do anything stupid...
Alright so I have a SG3, the Videotron Variant on 4.3 stock rom
I downloaded the drivers for my phone, am using the USB cable, and have installed Odin on my computer.
I followed this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
and I downloaded the "Videotron image"
my following steps would be to
"Extract the root66 tar file from the .7z file you downloaded.
Put phone into download mode [ with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66 tar you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot."
and third of all, i'd install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery and then install a custom rom from there
Am I missing any steps? For example I was reading about the OTA update section and I didn't understand anything...
Thank you!

Hey, i am no expert but i can tell u one thing a lot of things happened with me when i tried to flash through odin. All sorts of error popped up and i had to search the internet for 2days to get it solved. Hence i would advice you to not go through odin. For custom roms i dont think you have to be rooted. I flashed my gts6102 via cwm my first time and i dont think i had rooted it before hand. Try to look for a flashable zip file for rooting and flash it via cwm

Don't you need a battery pull?
Try Framaroot and then install rom manager and load cwm from there.

Hey, i went into boot loop after an odin flash and got "invalid argument" error since my data partition could not be mounted. I found a zip file to flash via cwm recovery that install superuser.apk and the su file in bin from xda. So i have recovered from the odin problem and have a custom rom xduosv3, rooted and running currently on my gt s6102

Odin Does Not F'n Work

Alright so once again for the 4th time I was misfortunate enough to soft brick my Fascinate all because of Odin. Even though i know how to unbrick it easily just by using the Super One Click, but its still annoying because I still l havnt been able to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I havnt gotten ANYTHING done with Odin. All its done is brick my Android. I have root, i clicked the pda button and chose the tar file (which is clockwork mod) , I put my phone in download mode, Odin detects it, I press start and this is what Odin says "failed! (succeeded 0/failed 1)" and then congratulations, Its bricked... Thank you Odin... really, what da hell am I doin wrong?? I know the file isnt corrupt because I downloaded another tar file and the same thing happened. Help me out for real

Wrong file perhaps, tar file should be the original ROM file if im not mistaken. To flash CWM, you need to boot your phone into the recovery and flash it from there.
Make sure that Odin is running as administrator. I'm confused as to how you have root before even installing clockworkmod recovery.

I used Super One Click to get it rooted. I went to Rom Manager to flash CWM recovery but whenever i click boot into recovery, i end up in the original stock version. Whatever it's called. So yeah, i checked my sd card and theres a folder called "clock work recovery" inside are some other files and a zip file. Does tht mean its installed?
On my phone, when I open up ROM Manager, there's an option that says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" - have you done that ?

Yes i do, i clicked on it, it says it installs it successfully. Yet when i enter recovery its still not clockwork. Im suppose to do it through Odin but it fails every time

This is because in newer android kernels, when you reboot your phone it reflashes recovery before booting back into android. Next time you install clockworkmod recover through rom manager, after it's successful, just pull your battery out. insert the battery again, and boot straight into recovery, not into android first. If you are able to do this, you should be able to flash a custom rom on there no problemo. once that's done, clockwork mod won't give you a problem again.
This still doesn't answer why odin won't work for you, but if you can use an alternative method i wouldn't even worry about it.
Hope this helps.
Odin not working!!!
I have just recently dowloaded the Odin programme, everything works until I try to open up the root file. It will not find it when I browse through Odin. However it does shows up when just looking via my computer, extracted and all. If anyone knows the cause of this please help!

why don't you make a package file flashable root (SuperSU + BusyBox) to be more efficient
I have a question. After this root, stock recovery will be replaced by CWM. So is it possible to go back to stock recovery after rooting?? And If it is possible then will be noticeable by samsung if I go to samsung care??
I'm new in rooting....

It's not necessary to remove it, however, it's better to do so before any rom installation (just in case your rom installation went wrong and you needed to take your phone to samsung care/service center).
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and effort!
Worked like a charm!

The problem must be in connection. It is not due to rooting.

Yes, it looks like bad wireless home network. Thanks for the info!
The method is easy and well constructed, but I want to add something else:
I think is better to add in step 4 - Copy SuperSU-v1.25.zip and BusyBox.zip to root of External SD of your Phone
Newbies will avoid to turn off their devices.
+1 thanks or thumbs up or etc. for ya ; )

[Q] how to make 2400258.cfg work on cwm recovery 6.0.2.7?

I've rooted my phone gt-p6200(ICS) stock installed busy box, mobile odin have cwm recovery 6.0.2.7. Made by aorth. updated OTA via settings--about--upgrade.. seems to download.. Got to clockworkmod E:invalid signature also installation aborted and lastly E:Invalid argument . Things that I've done
Tried to install after download.. the error above occurs
Searched 422mb on es file explorer same size as update
Converted 2400258.cfg to .zip
Tried to install it by mobile odin not supported was extracted to sd card and promted to flash manually(don't know what that means)
Tried to install it by cwm recovery apply update tried both location ext sd and sdcard error occurs
Tried both enabled and disabled signature on cwm still installation aborted
Spooffw doesn't work.. For kies Stuck at loading..
Pretty hopeless here cause I don't want to flash other than official update.. And also cause I don't know how to flash with odin or heimdall by pc. I'm noob btw forgive me for being one.. But please help..
Man, try ODIN via PC, here a little tuto.
1- Search here in the forum and download ODIN 3
2- install sansumg drivers for the tablet, or, install the kies from sansumg.
3- download the official firmware, here in the forum you can download, or via samfirmware too, unzip the downloaded file.
4- open ODIN, with adm rights.
5- turn on the tablet holding vol down, you will enter on download mode, press vol up to continue and plug the tab on PC, wait for a yellow icon appears on the ID:COM on odin, and in PDA button, you select the unziped file and press start...... wait for the tab to restart.
Yes thanks for the reply I can do that.. But I was saying that I want to use the server provided version.. Cause the official update from sites are not fully unlocked in all networks.. Are you feeling me? .. Hmmm

You are not reading what you are typing.
Obvious answer: If you end up in the STOCK RECOVERY you simply do not have a custom recovery installed (Clockworkmod as you wrote). Get yourself a copy of a recent recovery from AndroidAndi's download repository (TWRP, Clockworkmod Swipe, PhilZ Touch), and flash the .tar.md5 of the recovery with ODIN in download mode.
Obvious question: How did you flash a ROM, other than some OTA Stock Samsung update on the device itself, in the first place when you don't have a custom recovery installed in order to do so?
EDIT: What exactly do you mean by "factory reset"? Did you re-flash your tablet with a Stock ROM? If that's the case, then any custom recovery you had installed was wiped and replaced with the stock recovery. Hence why you now don't have a custom recovery anymore.

Just to recap on the steps you should have done...
1. You downloaded the .tar.md5 of the recovery you want to install, from Android Andi's filehost, on your PC
2. You installed the Samsung USB drivers on your computer
3. You installed ODIN on your computer
4. You unplugged the tablet from the charger and powered it off
5. You took your tablet and HELD VOL-UP while you powered it back on (to get into bootloader mode)
6. You plugged the tablet in to the computer and waited for a moment while Windows was installing the driver
--- Here the story ends, according to what you wrote as you say ODIN does not find the tablet.
Well, are you sure you did the steps so far in that order? Can't be that ODIN doesn't detect the tablet when it's operational (read: no a total dead brick) and it's in download mode.
The ONLY problem possible: You installed Samsung KIES, and not just the USB drivers, on your computer. KIES interferes with ODIN. You need to exit ODIN, bring up the Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and select "Task Manager"), find "kies" and end the running process(es) - ignore any warning message.
If that's too complicated: Uninstall KIES and then find the "Samsung Mobile USB drivers" installation package ... with a bit of searching (just to assign some homework to you) you will the links right here in this forum section more than just once.
Once KIES is terminated, or uninstalled and just the USB drivers installed, start ODIN again ... now it should detect the tablet.
Once ODIN confirms that the tablet is detected...
7. Select the .tar.md5 of the recovery as the "PDA"
8. Flash the recovery. Once complete the tablet rebooted into the newly installed recovery.
As for on-device flashing. That's possible...
- Your installed ROM must be ROOTED (no root, no fun)
- You need Chainfire's "MobileODIN" (the free version from the Play Store would suffice), and you need to let MobileODIN install the "p311x flashkernel package" (I think with the free version you need to download it manually from Chainfire's thread and install it manually) - jump into Chainfire's thread and read on
Once you have Mobile ODIN installed it is just a matter of:
- Download the .tar.md5 of the recovery on your tablet once more (or transfer it over from your PC)
- Start Mobile ODIN
- Select the .tar.md5 of the recovery (should automatically be set as a "PDA")
- Flash and reboot into the recovery
However, as a fair warning ... as with every flashing of your device ... keep in mind something could go wrong (just to straighten it out that there's always room for user mistakes or murphy's law getting into the way ("Everything that can go wrong will go wrong"))

For future reference: keeping VOL DOWN UP held while powering on/rebooting the tablet takes you into the recovery in case you borked the system and selecting "Reboot" -> "Recovery" from within the _custom_ ROM's power menu is not an option (the Stock Samsung ROM does not have that option by default). Though keep in mind that this only works when the tablet is _NOT_ connected to the charger/computer ... when the USB cable is plugged in it seems to ignore the hardware keys.

Now that you mention it... yes, you're right jrc... "VOL DOWN" == Download Mode / "VOL UP" == Recovery (I failed to recall the "UP as in update.zip" association).

Go to the moar secret mission thread on sprint note 5 android development page, on his instructions there is a twrp file either tar or zip. Id download the tar, flash it using odin and either boot to recovery with button combo (power+vol up+home) or if it reboots automatically after odin flash just power off, and hold combo until booted to twrp, if your not already rooted be sure to have a zip file of supersu saved, once in twrp flash the supersu, BE SURE to have OEM unlock enabled and usb debugging in the developers settings. Hopefully your rooted already, if not, get rooted by that or tutorials on here. Oem unlock deff needs to be on before anything.

You cant flash it by using that recovery menu you have in pic upload. Youll have to do some reading probably on how to root it and stuff, to keep it slim and hoping you know what to do/doing hoping your using the actual odin software on a windows pc and all of that, are you? If not, pc- go to google "odin samsung" should come up first result or close ,download odin (also in moar 3.2 thread), unzip, open odin, boot phone to download mode holding (power+vol down + home) at screen press up to continue, plug in pc w/usb. Wait until odin recognizes and drivers installed if needed. Add twrp tar file to ap slot on odin. Flash. Find tutorial on here, or moar 3.2 has step by step with odin and twrp files needed. Also check cf-autoroot for your device as i am thinking u may not be rooted or have odin installed or have an idea on what ur trying to do and not saying in mean or disrespectful way and correct me if wrong and if so my apologies, but from your images, steps, wording, i suggest browsing and reading other easily found tutorials and howtos on rooting, installing custom recovery and how to not brick your phone which is about 2 steps away from where you were at, also fixable, pita that can be avoided by using threads others have written on here. If you want additional help or have questions message me and ill guide more specifically.
After flashing twrp, you must, after checking that oem unlock is on and usb debugging is on, flash a custom kernel. I used Aurora Kernel.
