WOOOT IM ROOTED AND CWM modded thanks shabby!! next mod testing mike you next lol!!

 

[airtioteclint]

Will this also root my phone?

 

[Shabbypenguin]

whoops sorry got wrapped up in stuff added link to superuser zip in OP

 

[n4zty]

the process for root is different since us esteem users were used to just installing a aio root-cwm app here we first have to install clock work mod then flash root i again i gotta hand it to shabby he was more than patient i know alot but damn shabby worked his magic like david copperfield

 

[Shabbypenguin]

the plus side of this, is when you get an update no worrying about root. just flash cwm/twrp and flash teh superuser.zip again and bam the new update is rooted. no worrying about being locked out etc, this is a samsung with an unlocked bootloader

 

[mrpnut]

Your the man shabby nice job!!!! can wait Till i get my phone.

 

[nuttmeg]

MMMMM Key Lime Pie, after jelly...

Yeah you're right this is totally new. I think I got through odin and cwm successfully but i can't seem to boot into revovery to flash the root file. Its home vol up and power right?

Edit: nvm finally got it. Fyi for other newbies like me theres a internal and external sd card to choose from in recovery. Make sure u choose accordingly.

I get 4.2 in a few days. Too bad it's not KLP. KLP, or said version wont be till 5.0

Normal cwm works when installing with odin. Installed cwmt with odin, does not work. Just reboots the phone for me.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

No worries. I got kind of scared when it went into a reboot loop. I saw myself paying that $129 insurance fee XD good thing it was just booting back into the OS =p

 

[airtioteclint]

So I'm looking at my backup folder in cmw and my entire backup file is only 20.3mb. Can this be right? I know it works I restored to it.

All my other previous backups from other phones have been at least 20 times that.

depends, cwm uses a new system. make a backup and 3-4 days later decided to make a new one? it scans your files sees what teh changes are and proceeds to only back up the changed stuff

Ohh. I see. So that's what all that free spacing was about when i was backing up. Nice.

How to boot into cwm after ODIN?

 

[n4zty]

How to boot into cwm after ODIN?

manual way is rebooting then holding down volume up +pwr+ home key


heres a video

Samsung Galaxy SIII (Verizon) - Boot to Recovery Mode - YouTube

but if u are rooted already like me and prefer to have an app reboot you into recovery download a free app called quickboot it will do it for you

 

[airtioteclint]

I remember someone saying we had a race with Howardforum to see who would get root first. Did we like win?

 

[tiede]

Yeah.. No contest.
I'm the one who mentioned it.
L0GiC4L 3ViL, the HowardForums moderator who joked about it hasn't even brought it up again...
But he was thinking of having a contest for metroPCS users to attract people...
I don't think I can talk about it more though, since I don't think promoting competing forums is within the guidelines for AF, understandably.

 

[airtioteclint]

Lol alright.

 

[oz238]

Ok..I followed steps ..green go in odin...reboot and default odin menu pops up not cwm. What did I do wrong?

It wont boot into cwm until you do so. To do that install rom manager from playstore and pick boot into recovery. Lots of programs can do this but you're gonna need rom manager sooner or later anyways.
