Re: New recoverys for S3's that wont mount sdcards.

The updated Odin files are located here too. Skunkape's thread on how to root the GS3 has updated recoveries for new GS3s.

Thanks I just thought having a thread set to this with a clear title so people can find it easily.

Another quick update on the recoveries. People with newer GS3s can safely install TWRP version 2.6.3.0. The latest version, 2.6.3.1, does not mount the storage partitions. If I recall correctly. Skunkape's thread has version 2.6.0.0 (which works just fine too). I'm unsure about the compatibility of the versions between 2.6.0.0 and 2.6.3.0, so if you're adventurous just make sure you have access to Odin (either on your computer or Mobile Odin) to reflash a working recovery.

I haven't messed around with CWM recovery since I first rooted so I can't say which versions of that will work.

I've also heard that Philz recovery is a good alternative and can save backups in both CWM and TWRP formats. I may give it a whirl, but I need to do some more research before taking the plunge.

Re: New recoverys for S3's that wont mount sdcards.

Phils recovery works great but I did not sure about the recoveries and format compatibility. The new jrummy app Roman installer flashes recovery from the os. And cm11 WILL NOT flash on anything but the newest cwm and twrp. I'm not sure if these modded ones are compatible.

Hey if you could shoot me a few links I'll test em and put em up. I've got a newer s3 and can test functionality cuz my girls got an older one.

Anyone else hear an echo?

Some progress.... link.... https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_d2/commit/b0cd8e73f2c8a34760e3f88843d6a217bd8032c8

 

[tooandrew]

I'm unsure what that is, forgive my ignorance. Is that uncompiled code for a modded version of the newest recovery, or...? If so, is there a compiled version? A zip, or an odin flashable tar? Even something to push via adb? I have had issues with adb but I'm sure I can figure it out.

2.6.3.1 had some problems, so team win may have taken it down.
