(Q) galaxy s3 cwm

[Tyson11234]

I picked up my galaxy today and i'm trying to root it. I followed the instructions and pass with odin but when i try to reboot into recovery it does not reboot into clockwork recovery only into Android system recovery. I've tried atleast 10 times with same results. Any help greatly appreciated

Depending on what kernel you flash, it does not include the recovery which is located in a different partition.
So you might have to install (flash) it seperatly.

If you want an all-in-one bundle, e.g. the Siyah kernel would be good.

not sure what cwm procedure your trying to do but if your using cf root the SU already gets installed during root process.

I'm using this method since my device is the SPH-L710

Hmmm and youve definately followed the procedure to the letter? Incl not unzipping the downloads too much you only need the tar files.

If SU and cwm manager and rooting is succeeding then maybe just flash the cwm version from here

I did it this method and it failed twice. The method i was using i passed but just can get into clockwork recovery. This is frustrating never had a problem rooting phones before

I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy S3. Using Odin I can successfully flash Clockworkmod but I am unsuccessful at getting into Clockwork recovery. I've tried having autoreboot checked, autoreboot unchecked, F. reset time checked, and F. reset time unchecked. Any ideas on how to root?

Also this might be irrelevant but after turning on my gs3 for the first time it wanted me to update my phone, so I did. Could this update prevent the root?

If you're not using an International version of the phone then you need to be posting in the correct thread. Go here:

It probably was the update cause i did the update also. I'm returning mine to exchange since i only got it yesterday this time i'm not gonna install the update and see if it works

IM also having the same problem, I got my phone yesterday (sunday) and after turning on it pushed the sprint lf9 OTA update so i did. I tried to root followed the exact procedure but after passing odin it does not enter to clockwork rec. Does the OTA LF9 update re-write clockword rec??? Is there a other way to root the GS3 ??? i have the sprint version. Im kinda new with these types of procedures.

Thanks!

Yes it's the update it frustrated the hell outta me that's why i got mine exchange and didn't install the update with the new phone, after that i rooted fine. until you find a way to get it exchange you'll be frustrated trying to root. Try getting it exchanged

QBKing's updates video explains how to make it work. I had tried it a dozen times w/ various cords, ports, and computers. The problem isn't Oden per se; it's apparently the update. The new video shows how.
