3. Open terminal and type in these lines: (be sure to change the below)
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# reboot recovery
Method 3: The easiest
Using mmmeff's VZW GS3 EZ-Recovery ~ multi-recovery flashing app
Method 4: (for TWRP)

- [Stock] Vzw Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned
- [STOCK] [I535VRALF2] Stripped, Rooted

- [ROM][HYBRID][Jellybean] PARANOIDANDROID v1.9.1a
- [Rom][7.23.2012][VRALG1]NoSympathy's Stock OTA 100% deodexed, zipaligned rom

- Unofficial K-EXEC & CM9 (Beans)
Required Files / Downloads
CM9 ROM: http://goo.im/devs/BeansTown106/SGS3...CIAL-d2vzw.zip
K-Exec Clockwork Mod: http://goo.im/devs/BeansTown106/SGS3...w_recovery.img
Gapps: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- (Invisiblek) CM9 UNOFFICIAL D2VZW and CM10 UNOFFICIAL D2VZW ( need [URL="http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip"]Google Apps also. )[/URL]
1. Download a ROM of your choice and place it on your SD Card.
2. Reboot Recovery (from Rom Manager or *vol up + home + pwr*)
3. Make a backup
4. Do a factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik.
5. Flash the ROM zip.
6. Reboot once finished.
Getting a Custom Kernel: (This will replace your custom recovery)
You could always go back to your custom recovery by reflashing it in the method above.
FLASHING A KERNEL IS THE SAME PROCESS OF FLASHING A CUSTOM RECOVERY.
Method 1:
- [KERNEL] invisiblek v2 - i535 (direct download - kernel-invisiblek-v2-3.0.8-i585.img)
- [KERNEL][STOCK][BETA] b00sted-v001 (2012.7.14) ( 2 types of kernel, one for Stock, and another for CM9 )
1. Place the .img to your SD Card.
2. Open terminal and type in these lines: (be sure to change the below)
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# reboot recovery
Method 2:
Using mmmeff's VZW GS3 EZ-Recovery ~ multi-recovery flashing app
*****The kernel replaces your Custom Recovery.
To boot into the kernel, you'd have to boot into the recovery partition, which is:
1. adb reboot recovery
or
2. (vol up + home + pwr) when the phone is off.*****
If you flash your custom recovery back, the kernel will no longer be in place.
So you can either have a kernal or a custom recovery.
Method 3: (Kexec: Custom Recovery + Custom Kernel)
To boot into the custom kernel, you'll have to flash the boot_emmc/sdcard_boot.img.zip from the recovery. If not, youll boot into the stock kernel.
- [KERNEL] invisiblek v2 - i535 (direct download - kernel-invisiblek-v2-3.0.8-i585.img)
- [KERNEL][STOCK][BETA] b00sted-v001 (2012.7.14)
1. Download and install mmmeff's EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3.
2. Launch the app, and flash the "CWM Touch" Recovery. ( IT HAS TO BE CWM TOUCH)
3. Now this is when you decide if you want to have the zips, and kernel on your Internal SD or EXT SD.
Internal:
1. Download the kernel of your choice, and rename it as "boot.img" and also download the boot_emmc_boot_img.zip file
2. Place both files in the root directory of your Internal SD Card. (/sdcard/)
3. Reboot into recovery via the EZ Recovery app or while holding (vol up + home + pwr) while the phone is off.
4. a. Press "install zip from sdcard"
b. "choose zip from internal sdcard"
c. Scroll down and choose "boot_emmc_boot_img.zip"
d. Choose " Yes - Install boot_emmc_boot_img.zip"
5. If you did this correctly, the phone should reboot mid way of installing the .zip file
External:
1. Download the kernel of your choice, and rename it as "boot.img" and also download the boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip file
2. Place both files in the root directory of your External SD Card. (/mnt/extSdCard/)
3. Reboot into recovery via the EZ Recovery app or while holding (vol up + home + pwr) while the phone is off.
4. a. Press "install zip from sdcard"
b. "choose zip from sdcard"
c. Scroll down and choose "boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip"
d. Choose " Yes - Install boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip"
5. If you did this correctly, the phone should reboot mid way of installing the .zip file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. You now have a custom recovery and custom kernel running simultaneously.

The Wi-Fi hash instructions are in that thread.
If you use the EZ recovery, you do not have to add the recoveries to your phone, they are included in the app.

need to add the goomanager method to getting TWRP recovery, once rooted install goomanager, launch it and hit menu button and select launch open recovery script and then it will find the latest version for your device and it will install it from there for you

Thanks for the guide, I would probably suggest adding that you need to rename the "root_66.tar" file before flashing. I had to rename mine "rooted.system.image.tar" for ODIN to recognize it, thanks again though

Great guide maybe add information about kernel kexec

[RECOVERY][Unofficial][ICS] TWRP 2.2.1.4 Custom Recovery (DOES NOT WORK WITH MTD)

Hello, Infusers...im back and ive brought with me TeamWin Recovery Project! Official TWRP website: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2
What is this?
-Its an alternitive to CWM recovery
What are the advantages?
-Full touch screen interface
-Built in file manager
-keyboard (gives you the ability to name your backups...or rename other files from with in recovery)
-clock
-battery percentage
-swipe to confirm flashes/wipes (no more of the "no no no no yes no no"
-themeable!!!
-and more!!!
***DOES NOT WORK WITH MTD JELLYBEAN...yet***
Unfortunatly our recovery is built into the boot.img after flashing any ics rom you will lose the twrp recovery and get cwm recovery again...just tick the box to re-inject twrp before sliding to confirm your flash...or go to advance options and click on re-inject twrp
Download:
TWRP
Flashing Instructions (does not effect your current set up/kernel...only replaces CWM)
1) boot into recovery
2) flash zip
3) reboot
4) next time you go to recovery you will have TWRP
5) Flash this zip after every new rom flash to keep TWRP
***important for updating***
-if updating twrp from a previous build make sure you disable "re-inject twrp after flash" if you dont it will reinject the old twrp
-If coming from gingerbread you have to boot into your ics or jb Rom before being able to flash the zip...after that you can flash after every Rom flash
how does the zip work? i thought it was built into the boot.img?
Credit goes to smasher816 for this..he made an install script that takes your boot.img of your rom, then takes the recovery ( ramdisk-recovery.img) and injects it into your current boot.img...leaving the actual kernel untouched!
Satandard Disclaimer
Use this recovery at your own risk!!! im not responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, your friends, your family, or anything but i will do my best to resolve any and all problems you may encounter
Thanks/Credit:
TeamWin-Recovery/source/compiling instructions
Entropy-CM9/kernel/guide for compiling/source
JT-for getting us ics in the first place
JScott30-sold me his infuse which allowed for me to do this
Smasher816-your install script has allowed for an easy recovery flash
Did i miss anyone? -let me know...dont want to leave any one out

TWRP THEMES

-keep in mind that themes can introduce bugs...so use them at your own risk...if your intrested in creating your own them check out this: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2themers
-themes must go in this directory /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ and it must be named ui.zip -reboot to recovery and it will be applied...thats right just reboot no need to flash!
My TWRP Themes -hosted on goo.im (soon to be featuring every color of the rainbow...and then some)

This is a great addition to our community, Thanks for bringing it! :victory:
Edit: I presume it still not compatible with JB, am i right?

At the moment no...its built into the ics boot.img -so flashing this would give you an ics kernel
Not sure when and if ill be able to bring it to JB...will have to wait for TeamWin to update it for JB
EDIT: i think i know how to let people use this without messing with there current kernel/set up...gotta test the theory first
Edit #2...theory correct...no more will you have to flash the boot.img or CM9 to get TWRP...OP will be updated shortly with details

Omg. Mg this is awesome downloading as of now
Edit: can the boot.img be flashed with sgs kernel flasher?
Edit#2: saw the zip flashed it and it works like a charm.
Sent from my AOKP'd Infuse 4G​

OP updated...just download the zip and flash it-next time you boot to recovery you will have TWRP...just make sure you mount system before flashing...
EDIT: if my other theory is correct...this may now be compatible with JB...gonna download cm10 now and test the zip with it...will report back later

not sure...but you can download the zip and flash that instead in recovery...it will not mess with your rom or kernel

works with jellybean...just mount system and flash the zip...

Recovery updated...fixed the sdcard error, as well as edited the updater script to mount system...in other words you dont have to mount system in "mounts and storage" anymore just download and flash
currently only known bug at the moment is not being able to create a backup...im looking into it
EDIT: Just found out there's a way to enable the recovery to auto insert itself after every Rom flash...currently working on it...if it works then one flash and you will have it for good! It will be added to the advanced settings I believe...so you can enable the auto insert or disable it if you wanna go back to old cwm...
EDIT 2: alright...misread...it doesnt auto insert :/ but still useful tho heres what it does: after flashing a rom instead of flashing the recovery zip again you go to advanced options, in there on the bottom right corner you will see the option to "re-inject TWRP" it essentially does the same thing as the zip...so if you delete the zip or dont wanna flash the recovery zip ever again just use that option after every rom fash and it will inject the recovery into the rom
ill include the re-inject option in the next update (when i figure out and fix the backup problem...) unless you guys want that now...just dont wanna do a bunch of tiny updates in one day lol...i feel like that would be annoying for you guys

Been getting tired of CWM so i am gonna have to try this out. Thks:cyclops::good:
BTW. Doesn't the face plate on the Otterbox case mess with infared sensor in detecting during calls.
I got a Ballastic case the other day and i couldn't seem to hang up a damn phone call after rebooting

I fixed it so that when you flash it you no longer need to mount system...if you have the twrp 2.2.1 sdfix then you no longer need to mount system (I added the command in the updater script to.mount it)
Sooooo...just download, flash and enjoy...
Anyways...two days of non stop compiling...and I'm only doing recovery...don't know how the guys (Scott) at the CM10 thread do it...I'm pooped, time for bed
Also I don't use my infuse as my DD...so I don't have a sim in it...I use it for development only...my vivid is my DD

You can flash it after a Rom flash
You can flash it anytime...but if you flash a Rom make sure you flash this again

Thats not recovery problem. Once charge the Phone upto 100% allow two cycles of complete battery drain and analyze battery life.

As of now I'm using a deodexed modified cooked stock ROM. I have not ventured into custom Roms. Will be definitely checking out the best one and port it but I can do that only in free time like Saturday or sunday. Just tell me if you know a good one.

Almost.
I can use either internal SD or external SD at any given point of time. There is some issue with mounting card on /storage/sdcard1. I can mount either on /storage/sdcard0.

can u make TRWP for e3 @OP

We need twrp from a similar device to port it. Other issue with twrp is the size of the recovery. It is bigger than the partition space alloted for the recovery on the device. We would require other tool to increase the partition size of recovery first to enable flashing the the bigger image. So its not straight forward as cwm in our case.

Found out the issue. The recovery is showing a different device vendor (Huawei) and the original boot.img is showing another vendor (HTC).
I had to white-list the vendor in linux (udev and ~/android/adb_usb.ini)
Now it is working fine.

yes there is another way if you have recovery installed. Just tell us what ROM you are on (your 4.1.2 ROM name) and try to find out if you have CWM recovery(volume up+home+power). Let us know this this then we will proceed.
@ASMI1 :He is on a 4.1.2 OS means he have a custom ROM and re-partioning is not mandatory because he is comming for a CM10 base.

If you like the jelly bean 4.1.2 (CM10) by Dhiru, surely you'll like the CM10.1 version.
It is in here. Review it for more details.
You will need the latest CM10.1 in Dhiru1602's downloads and this gapps..
Download both on the SD card. Then, basically this will be the instructions to install it:
Code:
Upgrading from previous versions of CM10
1. Reboot to Recovery.
2. Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash.
3. Flash Google Apps.
4. Reboot
PD: By the way, you can use the Reboot -> Reboot to recovery option you've mentioned.

try to remove the rom zip from sdcard and copy it again from pc, this worked for me when I tried to install slim CM 7 by TheFrankenstain (here the thread if you wanted to try it..rom link here)(You rom is awesome TheFrankenstain...thank you)
If this didn't work then try to redownload the rom (don't use your phone to download roms...bad idea).
to make sure rom's archive is not corrupted, check you rom MD5 sum (Dev-Host server provide the correct MD5)
HashCheck is a good tool for this.

BE CAREFUL...You can only update to CM10.1 rom (or any other rom based on CM10.1) only if you have CM10 Alpha4 rom (or any other rom based on CM10 Alpha4)
But in your case (you have CM10 A3), you have to follow the whole guide mentioned in the second post.
This is what LoLaTiOn said:
How to install
Warning only for lasted base CM10 Alpha4
if older base CM10 Alpha3 Full KPE please !!!
- Wip Factory
- Format/system format/emmc
- Flash Carbon and gapps
- Reboot recovery
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Flash first clean for mandatory starting
On CM10 Alpha 3 and all other basic Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS, JB

thread here.
If you are worried about your data make full backup using recovery and you can restore your apps or your full rom at any time...clean Install is always recommended over updating from previous versions.
BTW...I think full Nandroid restore is dangerous due to different partitioning in ICS/JB roms so it's recommended always to reparation using odin and install full firmware again.
Also, any custom rom is rooted and deodexed and has CWM recovery pre-installed.
sorry for my bad english

it means that if you have a base older to CM10 Alpha 3 then you should proceed with full KPE,,,
so IF YOUR CURRENT ROM IS ON CM10 Alpha 3 I would suggest just flash CM10 Alpha4 base ROM by Dhiru then,
-Wipe Factory
- Format/system format/emmc
- Flash Carbon and gapps
- Reboot recovery
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache

No, to upgrade from previous version of CM10 follow this:
1. Reboot to Recovery.
2. Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash.
3. Flash Google Apps.
4. Reboot

here where to download CM10 A4 and google apps(20121011 for CyanogenMod 10.0.x) (thanks to master dhiru1602).
BTW, in the past we used to install XXKPE stock rom (pit, bootloader, PDA, Phone, and CSC)(this is what meant by full KPE) and then install DDLF2 as PDA in download mod. But now full DDLF2 is out so we don't need XXKPE anymore to make clean install, you just install full DDLF2 (pit, bootloader, PDA, Phone, and CSC) the same way you install XXKPE and then proceed with installing your custom rom.
it is recommended to make clean install always before installing any custom rom (CM or rom based on CM) to prevent any issue (installing custom rom over another custom rom may cause some problems like lags and no signal issue...etc) just make clean install.
I advise you to upgrade only if, for example; you want to update to REMICS rom and you have previous version of REMICS rom or you want to update to carbon rom and you have previous version of carbon rom or you want to update to CM10.1 A8 rom and you have previous version of CM10.1 A7 rom...Do you get my point?

The CWM mod for my 501D does not seem to work as rebooting into recovery mode freezes the phone into the "cloudfone" booting image. And it also does the same thing when I try to boot into recovery mode. Is there a way to flash your custom rom to the phone with the use of a software? Thanks.

Please repeat the steps here in installing CWM in our phones: http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=1136946
Because it is better to have a CWM working so that you can also flash my repartition tutorials.

I am sorry. But I already did follow the thread you were referring to before I requested/posted for some help. I have read about Flashify, can I use it instead to flash your custom rom? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798257) Or can I go ahead with Magic TWRP rather than CWM (since it does not work on mine). And then just use Magic TWRP to flash your custom rom?

I really recommend you use carliv or cwm recovery because if something goes wrong you can still recover your bricked phone. But if you use flashify then you got an error while flashing the rom. Then dont blame me if you brick your phone thus you cant anymore flash a stock rom to repair it cause you dont have a working CWM. If I have the ability to install a cwm in my phone so you can cause we have the same phone.

Thank you. I know I can't just blame anyone except myself if I brick my 501D phone. That much I already know. But your suggestion did not work on my android phone (since I already went through it many times without success). Have you tried Magic TWRP? Or some other way of having a custom recovery? If not, then all I can do is be patient with my buggy phone

You can follow an alternative step in installing CWM recovery on our phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519432

Okay thanks. Will try this and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck

Good news! Flashify was able to successfully flash CWM Having gone into CWM recovery mode, CWM reported a "bad" rom while attempting to flash your custom rom. Will download another copy of your rom when I am on a faster connection. Thank you for all your help.

Okay thats great because I am planning to upload a new custom rom for our phone.

Then I'll wait for your new custom rom just flashed the deodexed stock rom two days ago, will use it for the meantime.

I was able to flash the kalawakan rom unfortunately I did not like it. So I went back to the stock deodexed rom. flashing the backup via cwm did not work either. I had to flash the rom from start. FYI.

My cloudfone 501D shuts off intermittently without any warning. I thought that reflashing will solve the problem. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

nice

Ask lng po .
Pwede po bang iflash na yan kahit naka kalawakan rom v2 lng po ako? o kailngan pang ibalik sastockrom ng cloudfone 501d ?

Just do the proper wiping to avoid any conflicts and YES you can flash it eventhough you are already at Kalawakan Rom v2
