Noob friendly guide for rooting / flashing custom recovery / flashing official samsung firmware with odin
IMPORTANT: you cant blame me if you do screw things up with your device! all these instructions are based on my own experience only with my i9305 LTE. i cant guarantee that this will work with every samsung galaxy device there is! but on most of them it should work. you need to do your own research for odin compatibility and or instructions on how to flash if they differ from these steps below!
IMPORTANT!!!!: fellow i9305 users! if you have never flashed android 4.3 and above before and you are on 4.1.2 or older, you have the old bootloader without KNOX, which is good :good: but if you do flash 4.3 and above stock official you will get new bootloader with KNOX and we all know that sucks!! so flash only stock 4.1.2 if you dont want the new KNOX bootloader!! more info about KNOX here
NOTE: these 3 operations --> rooting / flashing custom recovery / flashing official samsung firmware should be done separately, you cant do all 3 at the same time !! if you need to perform all 3 operations, the logical flashing order would be like this: 1st. official samsung firmware / 2nd. rooting / 3th. custom recovery
NOTE: please ensure that samsung KIES software is not running in the background while using Odin, because KIES and ODIN dont go along!
NOTE: these instructions can be performed for other samsung galaxy devices as well, using the device specific files ofcourse
ATTENTION: warranty will be void hereby!! steps to root device / flash custom recovery / flash official samsung firmware in this order:
1. download Odin3 v3.09 from the link above and unzip, then right click odin3 v3.09 and ''open as administrator'' on your pc
2. download CF auto root / custom recovery / official samsung firmware from the links above and extract/unzip where needed to get .tar md5 file
3. in Odin, in the ''option'' section you should check the boxes of auto reboot / f. reset time and uncheck re-partition!!
4. enable usb debugging in your device in developer options, if you dont see developer options, go to ''about phone'' and tap the buildnumber 7 times and developer options should be visible now (this part is not strictly necessary, just in case if your device is not recognized by pc or odin. generally it is recommended to enable usb debugging with file transfers between device and pc)
5. turn off device now, and put it in odin downloadmode by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN - HOME - POWER buttons at the same time till you see the black screen with white ''samsung galaxy sIII GT-i9305'' text, then you let go the buttons, now press VOLUME UP and it will boot into downloadmode
6. in odin, click AP button and select the CF auto root / custom recovery / official samsung firmware .tar md5 file that you have extracted/unzipped earlier (in odin under message box, it should say blablabla.tar md5 file is valid!)
7. now connect your i9305 to pc with usb cable (in odin under message box, it should say added!)
8. now your ready to hit START button, after finished (in odin under message box, it should say removed!) your device will reboot and will be rooted / installed custom recovery / installed official samsung firmware in the left upper corner you should see a green box saying PASS, you can disconnect from pc now
This is how you boot into recovery to check it after you have flashed/installed it: press and hold VOLUME UP - HOME - POWER buttons at the same time till you see the black screen with white ''samsung galaxy sIII GT-i9305'' text, then you let go the buttons and it will boot into recovery
To make sure you are rooted, download root checker app from playstore
After rooting, there is a chance that after reboot some message like ''supersu has stopped'' will popup, DONT worry read further...
After you have rooted the device, there will be a app called ''SuperSU'' among your apps, but its a older version of the app and its ''SU binary'' needs to be updated. go to playstore and under my apps search for supersu, it should state that it needs to be updated, do that and restart your phone. you can also flash this UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip in your recovery if you prefer so, both do the same. Configure the settings of supersu after the reboot as you like. for those who got the KNOX bootloader, while updating SU binary, supersu should ask you to deactivate KNOX, just accept and proceed
Congratulations that's all !!
Useful info and important tips for flashing with Odin or your recovery:
- first of all, dont flash any custom rom/stock firmware/custom recovery/custom kernel other then what is made specifically for our i9305!
- it is generally recommended to make a nandroid backup in recovery before taking any action!
- before using odin, make sure your device has at least 50-60% battery level. why? because, if your phone goes off suddenly while installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or installing mods etc. your phone might get bricked or go dead permanently. no one wants that, right?
- flashing ONLY official stock firmware will not raise the flash counter! and you will not void warranty
- do NOT turn your device off or pull the battery while flashing!!
- any problems, try these few things: update usb drivers, and restart your pc; different cables; different usb ports. other solutions may include redownloading the file
- full .tar md5 files are very large and can take as long as 15 minutes to complete. smaller files such as recoveries normally only takes 10 to 20 seconds
- if you are currently rooted and intend to flash a stock firmware, you will loose root!
- always READ instructions carefully! RESEARCH before posting your questions! refer to i9305 Q&A thread for questions and answers / additional info / assistance, if you need to...

ODIN buttons explanation:
BL refers to the bootloader
AP refers to the build version of the software/firmware
CP refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. it contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either
PIT refers to the Partition Information Table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. its very likely you may never have to use this, at least i hope so however KEEP IN MIND there is a HIGH chance of bricking your device with a bad partition table if you do this wrong!! dont forget to check the box re-partition if youre gonna use it! Thanks @lyriquidperfection for the pit file here
if the package only contains one .tar md5 file then it will have everything, AP+BL+CSC+CP, in one file
a stock firmware downloaded from sammobile or samsung updates will contain all of these in one .tar md5 file
if it has multiple .tar md5 files then:
the .tar md5 with modem/CP in the name is the phone/baseband part of the package
the .tar md5 with CSC/multi-csc in the name is the csc part of the package
the .tar md5 with code/AP in the name is the AP part of the firmware package
the .tar md5 with BL in the name is the bootloader part of the package
if this is the case you will need to put these .tar md5 files in the specific areas of odin to flash the update/stock rom
Step 5.
I am and will not be responsible for any kind of damage to your device, flash at your own risk !!!
All credit and thanks goes to @Chainfire - @Dees_Troy - @Phil3759 - @JustArchi - @Pheoxy - @SdtBarbarossa Thanks a LOT !!

you have to flash it with odin. download odin from OP
if you dont know how to use odin then google about it..

Isn't CWM 6.0.4.7 the version built for CyanogenMod ??
I'd personally still leave a link for the original 6.0.2,9 because not all CWM .zip files work with the newer version.
I've personally used TWRP for a long time now and it just got better with the app they released to go alongside it (search for TWRP on google play)

of course works mate, works with me every damn time :laugh:

Question, on my Note n7000 i have CWM 6.0.4.8 and it's rather nice in the way that the touch works. It's not touch enabled like Philz, the screen acts more like a touchpad.
You swipe up for up, down for down. It's not one swipe, one slot, it's more like scroll, like the touch device on the N1, or the original Desire.
You swipe right for "Enter", left for back.
Can we have this?

would like to help you, but im no developer nor im a programmer, you could ask a dev. to do this

time to update.. SuperSu v1.99 !

Bump

Could you guys explain why you prefer each recovery ? I prefer TWRP because it's more ergonomic and easy to use , you can select multi Zip flashing , the "format /system" is in wipe settings , you can do multiple wipes in one click , it's a true time gain

3. Open terminal and type in these lines: (be sure to change the below)
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

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.

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

This just keeps getting better and better.....thanks millions....Avi....well collated recovery thread.....its has everything we need....
Thanks for this post, man. I'll try the Stock Recovery for the OTA I've been getting since months. Because I've read somewhere that OTA only works on Stock recoveries.
Edit: The Stock recoveries here are S003 and S011. Mine is S009. Which one should I try?

First thing is
Please dont quote whole post.
it is posted by me only and just few post above on same page.
Ur screenshot is very poor cant see anything please re upload with good resolution.
after pressing that download button u need to connect ur phone in switched off condition.
r u doing this as instructed.??
Please explain the process ur following?
Ur porting cwm means??
Or u mean to say flashing/installing??
which cwm ur using please specify.?
ow! sorry for the way i had posted the thing but thanks for the way you replied- it was quite Quick!!
so, herewith i have attached the zip file (for the better resolution) and jpg file as well (size i could manage within the limitation of this forum) of screenshot where i stuck...View attachment 083.zip
yes, i connected my phone in switched off condition after pressing download button...
i had followed exactly the same way as you have explained for the non-rooted device....
and it was newbie thing that i had written "porting cwm" instead of "installing/flashing cwm"...yes, i was trying to flash/install cwm...
recovery i tried to install is:- [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0
Thanks for helping me...
sorry i had just forgotten to mention the scatter file i had used....obviously yes, it is the same as you have uploaded as:-
avi3230 said:
Install spflash tools
download recovery.
rename it to recovery.img
download scatter file.
Put scatter file and recovery image in same folder.
open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the scatter file
(MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt) and ignore any message that may appear.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
however, i had to rename it as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php
also note that i had put zip file of recovery [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0 and that scatter file in same folder as well....
kindly check if i had done any mistake there...
i have attached the scatter file to which i had renamed...
sp flash tool stuck at download mode?
ok may be i have found the mistake while posting just above the procedure i had done!!!
sp flash tool stuck at the download mode may be because i had done mistake (if it is?! ok, i cant confirm it until i can get xolo q3000 back to me or until someone here can confirm that yes, this was the mistake) as below:_
i had downloaded zip file of recovery
then i had downloaded scatter file of xolo q3000 as mentioned in my previous post
i had renamed the scatter file i had downloaded as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php (may be silly newbie thing here!!!)
i had put both those files in same folder
and did rest of the procedure as mentioned by avi3230 (OP) here in same thread for non-rooted xolo q3000 just a few posts above...
...and what should i have done?
i should have downloaded only the zip file of desired recovery and then if i extracted it, i could find that there are all the necessary files including recovery.img and scatter_file within the extracted folder!!!
i would like to attach screenshot of wrong thing i had done:- image named as "wrong"
and what i should have done is may be here:- image named as "may be"
i think i was trying to install zip file instead of recovery.img that should be there in extracted folder of recovery.zip along with the scatter_file as well...so, here now i have got where and why i had confused
Put scatter file and recovery image in same folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok, if zip file of recovery has properly zipped, has properly downloaded and if it has properly extracted then you should find both the recovery.img and scatter_file within extracted folder....if not so, then you should put (get together) the scatter file and recovery image in "same folder" means in extracted folder....
confused? then i can only say sorry for my english but why i had posted the whole thing here? may be because someone can find that what kind of silly things those can be done by newbies....and if so, they can help....

just to add.... tip1: use usbdeview (g00gle) to remove all usb devices before adding your mobile device.
tip2 (based on my experience): try a previous (older) clean version of w!nd0ws also before giving up.

Yeah already seen that no support for philz now.
TWRP is bigger in size and u need to change partition size of recovery.
which is another headache for TWRP.
I already have it but again u need to flash whole stock rom again as whole
preloader boot recovery will change.

is it fully working on both bases - jb and kk? does it allow jb/kk rom switching? what are the drawbacks of flashing whole stock rom again?
what if we make full backup of data (call log/sms/mms/dictionary etc.) and also apps+apps-data using my backup app......
....... - can those be restored in the new setup and be up & running? if so, i don't foresee much troubles. do you?
you being much more experienced, please elaborate. thanks.

As TWRP is larger in size most of the time it wont boot in recovery.
also backing up of recovery wont work on 7mb recovery partition in any cwm based recovery.
So i feel we should stick to philz.

I already have twrp made for device which is easy.
its size is more than 6mb which is the issue.
u can change size of recovery to almost 11mb but then it wont boot in recovery specifically on 6589 chipsets. then whats t use.
to make it boot in recovery we need to change values in preloader.bin which is difficult task.
if anyone working on ubuntu please make an kernel with drivers files from this source.
if using this kernel twrp is less than 6mb then everything will be fine.

Original Thread
Code:
What's new in 3.0.2-0:
Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
Add Greek translation to some builds.
PhilZ Recovery
PhilZ Touch is a CWM Advanced Edition that adds all the features you could ever miss in CWM.
It is a well proven recovery for many phones.
It also adds a full touch interface a completely configurable GUI.
Download
PhilZ 6..4.7 (N900)
CWM Recovery
ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) is a replacement recovery option for Android devices, made by Koushik "Koush" Dutta. It is based on the Android 2.1 (Eclair) recovery image (updated to Kitkat and Lollipop). Features include Nandroid backup, adb shell, advanced update.zip options (ignore asserts and signature checks), and file browser for choosing update.zips
Download
CWM 6.0.5.0 (N900)
CWM 6.0.7.0 (N900)
How to
Install Recovery:
Simply flash the .tar file by odin.
OR
Extract the recovery.img file from .tar file and flash it using Flashify.
Install the theme:
The theme zips are flashible now.
Download the theme of your choice.
Flash it as normal zip in recovery.
Done
Restart to recovery.
Change the theme:
In Materialised settings, select CHANGE THEME.
Select the theme zip you want to use.
Confirm the change.
Remove the theme:
In Materialised settings, select the delete icon on the app bar.
Confirm the removal.
Alternatively, delete the ui.zip from /sdcard/TWRP/theme with a file explorer.
Change the recovery splash screen
In order to change the splash, one must unpack the recovery image, replace the splash and then repack the image.
General prerequisites:
Make sure the splash screen you want to use is in .jpg format and matches your screen resolution (e.g. 1920x1080).
Download a stock TWRP recovery image for your device.
Samsung users have to download .img files or pull them from the .tar files. Repacking .tar files won't work.
Change the splash while in recovery:
Download the AIK Mobile Installer
Flash the AIK zip in recovery.
This will install the required scripts and binaries to \data\local\AIK-mobile.
In Materialised settings, select CHANGE SPLASH.
Select the stock TWRP .img file.
Select the .jpg file you want to use as splash screen.
Set options:
Make Sure
If Automatically install... is unchecked, the repack will only be created and saved to the same folder as the stock TWRP image.
If checked, the repacked recovery will also be installed on your device.
If Include current theme... is checked, the theme in its current state (accent color) will be included in the repack, replacing the stock TWRP ui.
The ui.zip will automatically be deleted from /sdcard/TWRP/theme, as it is no longer required.
Be aware that changing the accent color won't be possible with an integrated theme.
In general, I'd recommend to not include the theme into the repack. By keeping the ui.zip, there's always the stock ui as a fallback option in case there's something wrong with the theme.
Start repacking/flashing with a swipe.
During the process, Repacking in progress... will be shown.
Install image files while in recovery:
The theme currently utilises the Flashify script by @osm0sis to install boot, radio and recovery images.
The script comes with the theme and will automatically be installed to /sdcard/TWRP/flashify if required.
On the Install page, tap on Install Zip.
Select Install Image.
Select the .img file you want to flash.
Select the image type.
This selection determines the target partition. Make sure not to flash a radio.img to the boot partition...
Start flashing with a swipe.
Use the AROMA File Manager:
AROMA File Manager is not part of the theme.
The theme just contains a "shortcut" for directly starting AROMA FM, rather than going through the "install > flash zip" procedure.
Download this Flashable zip.
Flash the zip in recovery.
This will copy the Aroma FM package to \TWRP\aromafm.
In Materialised settings, tick the option to use Aroma FM.
From the main menu, the theme will now start Aroma FM instead of the TWRP file manager.
Resolve common issues
When I reboot to recovery, the theme isn't applied. Any ideas?
This is most likeley due to wrong naming of the theme folder or the ui.zip.
Make sure the folder is named "theme", without capital letters.
Also check if you accidentally renamed the downloaded zip to "ui.zip.zip" (common pitfall when renaming the zip in windows explorer).
When I reboot to recovery, I get a "recovery bootloop". Is my phone broken?
Nope, this is most likeley due to a bad download.
Please download the theme again using another browser or app.

Wow thanks men!
very nice thanks:good:

thank you very much!!

Thanks Alberto, i managed to build a TWRP and a CTR recovery for U300.
Unfortunately TWRP have no working touch because of a kernel issue, but you can use OTG mouse to work on this... Later i will try with latest 3.03 rom and share with community. Regards

Download and Install correctly Mediatek Preloader drivers before using Flashtool

Pre Requisite: Unpack all files in a directory on desktop;
- Rename U300 Carliv CTR.img into Recovery.img (if you wanto to flash CTR recovery)
- Rename U300TWRP 3.02 No Touch.img into Recovery.img (if you wanto to flash TWRP recovery, but remember that you need OTG Mouse to use this recovery)
1- With flashtool load MT6750_Android_Scatter.txt
2- Select download and connect smartphone to pc (smartphone must be powered off)… in few seconds will start the process and the new CTR/TWRP will be flashed
P.S after flashing, enter immediately in CTR/TWRP at boot using POWER and VOL + keys at the same time until Logo; it will appear a text menu with 3 options, choose Recovery (first row) with vol- and wait the loading of Custom Recovery.
Please NOTE that CTR recovery could access internal memory that is named ExtraSD (so in install menu, choose zip from ExtraSD).
Move in CTR Recovery with Vol+ and Vol - and confirm with Power key.

System.IMG Repack
In order to customized my UHANS U300, I already unpack and repack my System.IMG with various software, tools, script, Cygwin, android kitchen, Assayed Kitchen and also through Linux Mint and Lubuntu... but my phone stuck during boot. (Only display boot image from logo.bin). I believe my repack System.IMG's size was correct but the phone still stuck, and checksum failed. (I disable checksum by change switch from "1" to "0".
Can anybody help me, how to get rid of these?
Thanks in advance guys.
I bought it off ebay cheap (for £35) even though it's almost £200 on gearbest etc. I don't think people would want to clone this phone but wondered how it could be that cheap. My kernel version: 3.18.22 is this the latest update for the phone? I did a factory reset since when I got it it was already set up (even though sold as new) I could see an after-image of the Chinese seller so wanted to be safe rather than sorry. Hope someone can help in getting the most out of this phone/remove bloatware etc and how to check everything's ok?
Also any way to upgrade Android?
