[Q] how to root and get storage to mount - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So I tried rooting my phone last weekend using every method i could found possible for this phone and i always get stuck on the same part...I cant get twrp or cwm to mount on my phone! ive read a thread about how to flash a working one thru adb(i have no clue what that is) and odin but i cant figure out for the life of me how to do it. Is there some way that I cant install my root and the recovery at the ame time without all the extra stuff? Sidenote...i got my gs3(i have the purple one) back around the end of August and it has version 4.1.2. Sorry if im asking a stupid question but im new to this phone mod stuff

You probably aren't using one of the modified recoveries for new phones.

how exactly do i do it though? I dont have the abd thing thats mentioned and i think i tried it before with odin and it screwed my phone up

You'll need to use Odin or learn to use ADB.

[Q] Need help please

I've just put the new 2.3.2 ROM on my HTC Incredible and now when it boots up it goes to a black screen and vibrates 5 times. I can get into recovery but anything I select all I get is the Clockwork Mod Hat logo. So I plugged in the USB into my PC and tried it again and I'm able to see the Clockwork Mod menu but now I cannot mount my SD Card to do a restore. I've removed the SD Card and verified it is accessible and has data still on it. I'm stuck....
Lyghtnin
what 2.3.2 ROM are you talking about?

And I'm sorry but I have to ask, are you using the trackball to select in CWM?

Not really... Some ROMs actually restore your wallpaper when you sign in to Play Store. My old Sony Xperia did it every time I reflashed.
that home launcher is niceeeeee, has some cool widgets too. i'm impressed.

so they removed the option to display battery % but kept that stupid ATT logo in the nav bar. derpers.

@scott0,
I think Google restores your background from the backup it keeps.
rom working awesomely and mhl working just as great =D i'm one happy camper
Still getting stuck on the LG logo on bootup after flashing the rom. I wiped data, caches, from within CWM. It just won't boot. Unsure what I am doing wrong here. The instructions are pretty simple.
Been using this for about 10 mins. This thing is incredibly smooth!!!!!!
I just tried the oldway of flashing this.. Being I am stuck in CWM on my phone from yesterday.
Downloaded and than pasted on SD card put it back in the phone pulled the batery. Then I flashed it twice, rebooted and still in CWM yet it said installed on the bottom of the screen I got the Install Completed.
I have NO clue what is up ... Can't return it wih CMW sitting on it for sure...

[Q] Won't boot after flashing newest jellybam

Hello everyone,
I recently tried to flash the newest JellyBAM, 7.0.
I have tried to use the standard process of factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik and I have also tried to format system in that process. When I install zip, it works fine and then i go to reboot system. the farthest it will go is the Samsung screen. Why is it doing this? I went back to recovery mode and flashed my old ROM but I'd really like to try JellyBAM. Any help?
Try redownloading the Rom, probably a bad download

How to install clockwork mod on latest update

AT&T had to swap out my e980 after my charger port failed. The one they gave me has the newest update install (E98020g).
I have successfully rooted it with no problem, however when I try to install CWM using the freegee method which is what I used on my last e980 it fails.
When I boot freegee I get.
Error
Exception thrown waiting for command to finish
Error
Your aboot is not supported on software version: E98020g
Is there another way to install CWM on the newest update?
2 choices, tot back to 4.1.2, or find the apk to install cwm.

I tried the apk method using http://www.andromods.com/apps-mod/how-to-install-cwm-recovery-on-lg-optimus-g-pro-e980.html but it did nothing .
I did find this one but dont want try it unless someone can confirm that it works

I too just got a new e980 4 days ago. I had more problem get it to root than installing the recovery. I had to used root master instead of script rooting that many used. Once it was rooted I had no issue installing the recovery with free gee. Try rom manager, it dowloads the recovery than install on your device. Else you can try download the img file from cwm site and use adb and fastboot to install it. If you have problem install the recovery even with the rom manager, I check root again and make sure it is properly done.

How did you root your phone? Did you use the script where you have to run a dos batch file? That didnt work for me because att locked the boot.img file or something, I had use something called root master instead. Check again and make sure you are properly rooted.

There you go! Just click on the down load link that begins with "vroot". Since the instruction is in Chinese, you probably should watch some youtube videos that show you how to install the program. Justdo a youtube search on master root.

Did you reboot after installing the GPRO apk? If so that's what's wrong. This method worked flawlessly for my E980!

Your best bet is to flash that mod twrp. If it fails,I suggest u flash that ruu

can someone help me i cant boot into recovery, and apps are still FCing.
Symptoms:
-Unable to boot into recovery/bootloader
-Force closes system app or installed apps
-Stored settings changes on reboots
-Random reboots while phone is idle
-Constant reboots while restarting it and doesn't know when it will boot normally.
All above mention symptoms are related to HARDWARE FAILURE! Bare in mind that not all of them you'll see it on your device. But any of one you face,will might probably having chance of hardware failure.
You or here on xda users can't resolve your issue. So don't try anything from now on wards. Use it as is. Or sell it and move to another device.
Unless you have some local cheap repair shops where they might evaluate the issue then fix it that way,rather than calling into HTC service center.
And i forgot to mention, you probably have question in mind, How i know? My device is dying too. It reboots constantly before it boots normally,though it works fine. So symptom may vary device to device but cause is the same.
