[GUIDE] How to Flash in Custom Recovery

[jay28w]

Yes... This is an issue with all recoveries. I will let you know how to rename the backups when I get off work. There are certain requirements in the name you must follow.

Lol... I have. Just not in this thread..

To rename the backups go to the cwm folder / Backups hold press and hold the file you want to rename choose rename from the menu. Name it what you want but you can't have any spaces in the name.

Example: 12Dec2012_Wicked_Sensations

Excellent, thanks for the info. This makes my ROM management exponentially easier.

Hi I recently flashed the LiquidSmooth Jellybean 4.2 ROM on my s3 and after i flashed it i hit reboot but it only loads to the samsung screen and then just powers off and repeats this over and over. It vibrates when it turns on then it never gets past the samsung screen.

Did you factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache?

Okay when i first flashed turns out i forgot to flash gapps... I restored my phone to stock and will retry with a new nandroid backup and this time flash both the rom and gapps before rebooting. I downloaded (what i believe to be) an updated version of the ROM. I will retry and post my results.

I did all of those... after some research on where i got the ROM it turns out i needed to install another kernel..... I was recommended KTZ's 4.2 Kernel and right now I am about to reboot to test to see if it will load the new ROM.

alright im stressin out... still getting this bootloop after ive done everything i was told.... including the gapps and kernel flashes nothing changes.

edit: okay i am an idiot. I noticed i actually downloaded the ATT kernel not the SPRINT one. Ill retry everything with after flashing the SPRINT Kernel

Good luck tell us how it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

s how it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Everything worked out after the kernel swap from ATT to SPRINT. After playing with the ROM a little I decided I liked touchwiz a lot better so I swapped to the FreeGS3 ROM/TouchWiz Recov and it made flashing and installing much easier. I used this guide every step of the way. Thank you so much for making it usable for all levels!

Are you rooted? Did you install a custom recovery? Which one.

Also, you've posted in Galaxy S3 forum. You might have better luck here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/

Skunkape60, thanks for this post very informative and easy to follow. I have a question for you, I have a gs3 4.4.2 for sprint and I am not sure which recovery should I use, is the cwm 6. 0.4.5? and the same superuser posted on the how to root guide? Thanks!

UPDATE,
Uploaded superuser v2 from gs3root and I am rooted now, thanks for all the help.
