It's displayed in download mode. The app you've been using to boot into recovery should have an option to boot into download mode as well.

What does everybody use to boot into recovery?... I use goo manager is their a better app

 

[Shabbypenguin]

I have been talking to some people on xda, apparently chainfire blew off the cspire sgs3

Also he did the same thing to cspire. Doesnt acknowledge its existence. I even messaged him telling him that changing the build.prop on a cspire s3 to match sprints would allow triangle away to work without issue. Nothing...

so clearly if we want something then it will be up to us to get it. since i am unable to get a refund for my apps i have purchased from him ive gone ahead and marked it 1 star.

so with that in mind we will prolly never have mobile odin or triangle away. so ill be working to make this a script that can be flashed from recovery

If it gets the job done then it gets the job done. Lol. I personally use romtoolbox pro because I don't like having alot of extra apps on my phone. It also have goo manager built in.

I also emailed him about two months ago. Used to check the playstore daily hoping to see our device in his changelog. Gave that up in about a week. We're riding all our hopes in you man.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

LMAO ok so gunna have to try something else, as using the wipe command in recovery... well yea...

perhaps if we talk money with him perhaps he will understand that language better eh?

 

[Shabbypenguin]

honestly? **** him and money. if he isnt willing to changes a few lines to add support for our device (i have clearly proven the method that works on theirs works on ours.) so that people would buy his apps then why should we try to bribe him with extra money? you guys will have a solution and it will be free and ill share it publicly for all to enjoy.

great, n4zty answer gtalk, i need a favor my download counter wont change now XD

or anyone? www.shabbypenguin.com/Stuff/saveme.zip flashing this zip will backup mmcblk0, it wont flash anything to your phone and there is no risk but i cant seem to make my device forget it doesn't have 28752384907 flashes to it it will save a file to your sdcard i desperately need that please

That folder was created by android 4.2 for multi users. (stupid and useless feature on a phone btw). If you want to continue flashing 4.2 jb roms you should leave it alone. All your old internal stuff is now in your data/media folder.
