Hey, I flashed CWM using the SGS3 Snapdragon ToolKit and everything seemed to go fine, Odin restarted the phone after the flash was completed. I was going to install a custom ROM and tried booting into CWM and the phone would only boot into the stock recovery. Not sure what I did wrong as I followed the directions in the ToolKit application. Anyone have a clue why the phone will still only load into the stock recovery?
Happened to me as well. I managed to sort it out by installing CWM and then renaming /system/recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p-bak (or whatever). I read somewhere here that that script would launch on reboot and overwrite the recovery with stock.
Good luck!
I see the file there, but it won't let me edit the file name. I went back and rooted the phone just to make sure that I would have permission to edit the file name and it still won't let me. I'm trying to use ES file explorer to do it, and I have the root explorer option enabled.
Does that file explorer app have an option to flip between read-only and read/write mode? I used Root Explorer - which defaults to read-only - and switched to read-write for the rename.

Alright so I tried getting a custom boot animation onto my Evo, and I don't really know if I should pay for Root Explorer just to put boot animations on my phone so I decided to try it through adb. However, when I was going through the steps and I reboot into recovery mode, I'm in ClockwordMod, so it doesn't recognize it on my computer correctly. Anyone know how to fix this without unflashing ClockworkMod?

Some custom boot animations are flashable in recovery, and you could just flash the zip in recovery, and it should work fine in clockwork, unless the scripting isn't right (i forget if it's amend or edify, but one doesn't work with clockwork). I usually use bootanimations that are NOT flashable. Just the bootanimation.zip. If you are on sense, you want that bootanimation.zip to be in the /system/customize/resource folder. if doing adb, you would simply do:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
If you are on an AOSP rom, it would be:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
You could also use ES file explorer, and enable root mode (it's free) if you don't want to buy Root Explorer (which is totally worth it IMO), . Drop the bootanimation.zip in the respective folder, set the permissions, and reboot.
It should'nt matter what recovery you're on, unless you're trying to use a flashable zip, that you can't flash with clockwork recovery, due to incorrect scripting. If that's the case, you should be able to open up the flashable zip, and extract the bootanimation.zip. At that point, you couse use one of my methods above to install it.
Thanks for all the info buddy, it worked like a dream! I bookmarked this page for future reference

You're welcome! Glad it worked for you. Enjoy your new bootanimations.
Hey guys,
I have done something stupid.
The phone.
GSM Galaxy Nexus - Android 4.0.2 (ICL53F)
Rooted. otherwise stock.
Current status - will not boot android. Will load fastboot/recovery
I was trying to change the bootanimation.
Could not do it with adb push.
So i tried by copying the .zip file to the phone.
Opened up file File expert (unsure how many use this) clicked on "internal Memory" and tried to mount for read/write.
Copied bootanimation.zip from sd card to /system/media would not paste.
Tried again. Did not paste but it did delete the stock bootanimation.zip file.
Unsure what i clicked but when i tried to open /system/media it try to "execute" it, stated that it could not find a program to do so.
Closed program.
Phone started to come up with differnt apps stating that they have stopped working.
turned off phone, reboot.
Will not load boot animation, just loads to recovery!
I think I will have to flash the stock rom to solve this.
Any help would be great.

If this was my phone I'd find a nice rom, stock or not, and install it. I'd follow the dev's installation instructions to a "T".

I've just flashed the stock image, luck i remembered that i did an adb back up not long ago. so just restoring that.
Than to root and flash cwm and start again. this time i'll be careful
I edited a configuration file for Bluetooth(main.conf) in which i changed the device discoverable for value to be 0 (by default 120). then i left the folder as is (r/w) mode and saves and rebooted.
rescue mode is available(volume up - home -power)
boot loops continously
Kies not recognising when connecting when the device is turned off
there is a backup of the file at the same folder..
if you can provide me too ..how do i upload to my phone.
need help ASAP.
try installing firmware with odin
Other better ideas!
I am pretty sure that this matter was triggered because of that tweak..(editing of the file). I hope that restoring the original file would help.
Do you know about adb...?
Also i forgot where the actual bluetooth configurations file was in the root folder structure
adb will not work on device in recovery/download mode
to use adb mobile needs to be running
you can flash cwm in your mobile then upload the file and send me the link i will make a flashable zip and upload it then you can flash it
adb is running...just
Adb is running (while the phone keeps on showing boot animation-samsung logo-bootanimation-samsung logo-bootanima....) but it seems that it has permissions issues..i unrooted my phone before using adb .
i can access adb shell and list root directories but cannot enter further directories such as data\ permission denied
I donot have the file that i changed and quiet cannot remember it..
Check on your mobile and see for
data/misc/bluetoothd/
if it has files such as music.conf,main.conf etc etc..then this is the needed folder..
can you create a update.zip
like i used for rooting/ unrooting .that doesnt need CWM
that empties the directory ,because it has some backup files .bak created by root explorer
loads files from your mobile
i am currently unrooted ..do i need root?
actually adb works during splashscreen
get the original file and push it through the system, set permission and it should work
if all else fails,..... odin
download update.zip from http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...5498d4d803e6a/4fcc0dd2/7/6/3/0/8/8/update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard
go to recovery flash it you will get root then you can use adb
if it is not flashing first flash cwm through Odin then flash this update.zip through cwm
The file you sent is invalid. corrupt..?
what does this do..exactly.
i already have a update.zip and update-unroot.zip to root unroot my device
so
do i need root permission to use adb..because commands like
adb root gives"error not available in production devices"
&
adb shell
$ su
etc are showing permission denied.
if you have the original files on your galaxy y.. can you make update.zip with the above instruction
if adb works..i dont exactly remember the file path that i changed..so using the hints above please can you send me the file path
My aim here is to use odin or factory reset only at the last.
just root the device by flashing the root.zip in recovery and then use
adb shell
su
and it will work
No still get permission denied.... like always.
cd data
ls
open directory failed, Permission denied.
1. flash cwm recovery through odin
2. then upload the original file
3. I will create a update.zip and will upload it
4. you will need to flash it in cwm recovery
i will flash CWM using cwm.zip
i dont have the original file as i could not pull through adb..i hope your file may work
Finally i remembered the directory
/etc/bluetooth
the file i modified was main.conf however whole folder can be replaced from your mobile's or original one.
Thanks

flash it in recovery but it may not work as I don't have galaxy y I have a different mobile
it didnt allow installation both through cwm and recovery mode
& now
i messed up with CWM
backup-restore feature
create backup
edited the system.tar
put the original file
calculated md5 for new system,tar
edited the nandroid.md5 with appropriate editor and filled with the new calculated md5 of system.tar
advance restoore....select system files...
md5 check pass
restore fail
now boot stuck at initial screen
pretty sure even wipe data wont work
So i Had to resort to ODIN..Thanks for your time mate...
humm
I also think Odin is the last choice
This being my first post a HI EVERYBODY is in order.
On with the show.
So, I managed to unlock my bootloader via htcdev website, i slapped on the cwm recovery and managed to put a custom rom on my cell.
The rom in question is the jellyking, works fine, everything is great.
PROBLEM:
although ive tried several cm10 roms i liked jellyking the most but on all of them i had troubles getting root.
what happens is that i download es file manager, set it to give me root and mount system as RW, popup says that the preinstalled (with rom) superuser app granted those rights and that everything should be superb, but I couldnt copy files from my sd to lets say /system/media (wanted to change my bootanim) it says file copy failed, only once i did manage to copy a file but i dont know how.
The question:
when i put a custom rom, do i need to reapply the famous root.zip or maybe install busybox as my first app or maybe flash over the existing superuser app the superSU app which seems to update the root binaries sucessfully.
BOTTOM LINE:
What is the exact (if any) procedure that I need to follow to get perm root access (copy rights) to my own phone, each and every reboot.
Thanks in advance for all Your insights,
Humbly,

Hi, im new here and i need help. i've tried posting in the ARHD thread but the system informed me that im not allowed yet to post there. so here's my problem:
see, ive flashed my phone with ARHD V30 and used an app called root checker to see if my device is rooted which it positively verified so, that my phone is rooted. but when i tried to paste some files in the system/usr/keylayout, my phone informed me that said folder was read-only. so i tried using android commander, but to no avail. i tried checking my phone status using android commander and it showed that my phone is not rooted. did i do something wrong when i was flashing arhd? or do i need to root my phone again? if yes, can you point me in the right direction. im on ND3 BL btw. and i habe super su installed and twrp as my custom recovery. thanks!

Go to playstore and update your supersu if not already updated,also in es file explorer you need to mount your system to R/W to be able to copy paste things into system folder.In order to give the system read and write access open es file explorer ,hit menu key then click on extreme left of root explorer (make sure root is checked as you see in the screenshot) then click on R/W then next window make sure all the options are selected on the extreme right column,hit okay and go about pasting files in /system
