[ptfdmedic]

Don't open the file when you download it; you use it as it is in Odin.

Really nice to see you here. It's like a reunion of the OG Epic

Other than the 1970 dates it puts on all the backups, what's so buggy about it?

noobnl is great at fixing and developing stuff, but not so good at explaining it. =)

bbelos and DRockstar are currently working on the next version of this CWM recovery that fixes a few bugs like the inability to save/restore backups to the sdcard. Follow the team's Google+ page for Sprint SGS3 for the latest news.

Thanks

Just rooted my S3 today! A big thanks to everyone involved!

Would I benefit from unrooting and rerooting via the new method?

And would I lose data in the process?

Anyone else coming from the original Evo and constantly hitting the power button accidentally while in Recovery? Since the Evo's volume rocker was on the right, I'm soo use to using the right side to navigate in Recovery. Ahh, this is an annoying and dangerous habit that I need to break!

Probably no benefit if you are already rooted. It is just meant to be easier than cyber's instructions because it has fewer steps by doing everything needed for rooting in one .zip.

I installed clockworkmod.TAR (7000 kb) on the 23rd
Now when I follow the link I see CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v1.tar.md5 (7001 kb)

Are they the same? If not, what fixes were incorporated?

I see version CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v3.tar.md5 is now up. Is there a possibility of a change log?

Instructions to install CWM on SGS3 LTE variants.

https://plus.google.com/110604857968399422792/posts/8RPFmKPkLcD
Root stock SGS3 ROM by flashing a single .zip.

I need verification from a new SGS3 owner who hasn't rooted yet. Can they follow the directions in these two pages to install CWM and root their phone? Can they provide feedback on what confused them in the instructions and how we can improve those guides?

If these instructions and the new root tool .zip works as expected, then these will replace all current root & recovery threads.

i just installed cwm and rooted using these instructions on a brand new completely stock sgs3. I can confirm that everything worked perfectly, and the directions wernt confusing at all. Thank you very much.
