noob question
Can I just install root update using stock recovery mode without installing CWM ?

You cant.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hi, is there any data loss with this procedure?
Does the CWM Recovery use any space on the device or card after?

Hi There,
It goes all well for these steps..
How to root ?
-Open Odin 3.07.exe
-Put your phone into Download Mod
(Power button-Home button-Volume down button,at same time)
-When you enter in Download Mod, you should get blue box on Odin 3.07
-Uncheck Auto Reboot option
-Go to PDA and find your recovery, then click on OK
-After you checked everything click on Start
-It should take around up to 30-40 seconds
- When its finished take out battery, put it again
but after putting battery back in.. i cant seem to get in CWM it just get stuck on Samsung Galaxy Screen where it shows model of the phone which is GT-I9105P. And after waiting for 5 min it automatically reboots and phone starts normal. And if i try to goto CWM it takes me to stock CWM.
Any help?
Thanks alot in advance.

Then I switched off USB debugging mode. Made Whats App system app through Lucky Patcher and rebooted. Then again made Facebook, ChipChain (game) and Times of India App to System App without booting again and again.
Rebooted and my phone got stuck at Samsung logo. Waited for half an hour but no result.
Then applied Resen/Factory setting and rebooted but no result.
Then started Odin and applied stuck recovery and rebooted but no result.
Then Wiped Cache Data and rebutted but again stuck.
Again started odin and applied recovery and rebooted and again stuck.
Then tried to unzip which is available in my SD card but no CWM available and got some failure notice in RED.
I am not able do anything. Please help me to come out of it.

Is there any good reason to convert these apps to system?????????????????????????????
Factory reset will reset DATA (user apps) but not SYSTEM. The only way is to install TWRP, delete the converted apps via TWRP recovery file manager OR flashing a full stock firmware via ODIN.

Flash TWRP via ODIN. Start TWRP and select "advanced" --> "file manager" . Navigate to your system apps folder and delete the converted apps. Then perform a factory reset again
Here are the firmware files for your phone. Official release is Android 4.0.4. Just flash the downloaded file via ODIN. You need to pick the right "region" for your phone.

How to start TWRP ?
after installing via Odin, TWRP doesn't start !!

Need help ASAP S8+ BRICKED

Hi,
I have modified the system/etc/media_profiles.xml (added a new codec profile) and after that my S8+ is stuck at the flashing Samsung logo.
Unfortunately holding down Volume Up+Bixby+Power does nothing.
If I hold volume down+power then it reboots but again stuck at Samsung logo.
My phone has the latest Nougat (Renovate Ice 7.1 with SuperSU and TWRP).
Please help what can I do?

If you cannot get into recovery which that shouldnt mess with it
The only other option would be to boot to dl mode and reflash stock firmware

I am on the warning screen.
Now how can I go to recovery? I do not have a PC right now with installed drivers, etc.
I am sure my recovery is fine so that would be the simpliest.

Thanks man, it worked I am in TWRP now.
You saved my day!
BTW why could this media_profile.xml mess up my system?
I added a new video profile to this file to enable 4k video recording to third party apps.
I did the right syntax so WHY could this file do harm to my system?

Not so easy my TWRP backup is on my pc far away from me.
BUT I has this original media_profiles.xml on my sdcard.
Only problem that in TWRP file manager my system folder doesnt show any directory just the "bin" directory so I can not paste my media_profiles file.
How can I solve this?
I am sure my system files is there, because a few days ago I also wanted to copy a file with TWRP file manager to the system folder but also did not show just the "bin" directory.
