I rooted my device yesterday and installed clockworkmod, then i was going to install a new rom on my device. But i decided to this the next day, but i still deleted
cache and did a factory reset, When i booted up i didnt find superuser and i downloaded titanium backup and the programe said i was not rooted.
So i installed visionary r12 and it said im rooted. what Now?
Now i uninstalled r12, and unstalled r14, and got everything to work,
now i want to take a backup but in rom manager when i press backup rom, it tells me
E:cant open /cache/recovery/comand
Have you turned Security Off (S-OFF)?
Yes i installed s-off before factory reset, shuld i try to do it again
In ROM Manager try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery again. Most users note that it doesn't work first time.
I find more assuring to make a backup from within CWM Recovery. Six and 2 Threes I know.
It worked to reflash clockwork. Thank you<3
No problem.

I tried yesterday to one-click root my MT3G following unlockr.
Got the Amon-Ra recovery on there, but it hung on the green MT3G splash screen when I tried flashing cyanogen 4.1.11 .
Waited like over 20 minutes. So I took out battery, and tried to boot again. Same thing. So I rebooted into recovery and tried flashing ROM again.
No matter what ROM I tried, I got a "E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)" message. (I redownloaded ROMs from different sources given the message thinking maybe they were bad or incomlplete, but nothing worked).
I finally did a nandroid restore.
Now I'm not sure where I am. Given that I restored my stock nandroid backup, my understanding is I'm no longer rooted. Though, I am still able to boot into the Amon-Ra recovery. which I thought would have not still been possible. I downloaded better terminal and tried typing "su" but it wouldn't let me continue, so that confirms not rooted, right?
Do I run the recovery flasher app again (which is still on the phone), and reflash a recovery image? Or should I delete the app and redownload the recovery flasher apk.
Just not sure how to safely retry.
You need to provide more details about your process. I actually unrooted mine previously done with Cyanogen Recovery and rerooted with same instructions on that site only this time with Amon Ra recovery image without problems. In my case I wanted the option of formatting partitions. Maybe you should try Cyanogen stable Rom first, like 3.68.1 version. I had an issue with 4.1.11.1 after I partitioned the card so I did 3.68.1>4.0.4>4.1.11.1.
Timeline:
Flashed Onyx 4.2
Flashed EugeneKernel A11
Installed OCLF through Clockwork
---everything was working fine, but im anal about my phone and decided i wanted to nandroid restore back to 2.1, so heres that time line:
Disabled OCLF
Factory Wiped
Installed JAC-OV/UV Kernel (2.1 compatible)
Went to Nandroid Restore
I noticed that the restore finished way more quickly than usual, but clockwork said it finished successfully. so i went to reboot and it rebooted into stock recovery. odd. so i chose "reinstall packages" to flash back into clockwork, and now everytime it says "replacing recovery with Clockworkmod recovery" it then goes to "Vibrant" screen, and boots back into stock recovery. (same thing happens if i simply try to reboot, i always get sent back to stock recovery)
So is this happening because Clockworkmod LagFix edition is not compatible with my 2.1 kernel?? If so, is there a way to correct this WITHOUT using Odin?? ( i tried to adb push my old clockworkmod update.zip, in hopes that it would just overwrite the current one, it pushes successfully but same symptoms still occur)
Thanks ahead! (also, since i just backed up my sdcard today, id be more than willing to wipe my sdcard, if theres a way to do that through ADB without needing to be in ADB shell)
Basically, I got rooted s3 mini with cwm for the main fact that I wanted a rom with app2sd, I got a rom with that now I want stock, so I returned to my back up of my stock (still rooted and all) and it said I had a system update (84mb) and I'm on 4.1.2 so I thought it would be 4.2.2 or 4.3 which had app2sd and it's stock, so I deleted my root apps, removed root and wanted to remove CWM Recovery, so I got Odin with my correct md5 model stuff and did it and when it rebooted for some reason CWM Recovery said install untrusted zip file, so I said yes thinking is mustn't of installed, so then it reboots to how my phone was before, everything was still there, including CWM recovery, my stock apps I deleted returned tho and now, the thing that pissed me off, the update promp returned to all updates have been installed -_- so it's a whole waste of time, any fix, is it because I never factory reset and wipe cache and ****e
Sup,
got a S4 from a mate to root. Already rooted my own S3, so I know what to do.
I flashed the newest CF Auto Root from chainfire via Odin
flashed the newest CWM via Odin too
then went into the recovery
Wiped everything (data, factory reset, dalvik and even system)
But as soon as I want to install a custom rom, it tells me "installation aborted".
Tried different roms, but none has worked.
Also tried Philz Touch 6 and TWRP but still getting the same problem.
Why does the recovery say that there's no root access if I want to shut down the device?
"Root access is missing. Root device now?"
This appears everytime I shut down from recovery. Could this be the problem?
I appreciate every kind of help
E3: uh.. After a few hours I finally got the solution.
- I installed this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824) (Stockrom)
- Flashed root again
- Flashed CWM again
- and finally I am able to install a custom rom !
I was going to say reflash root. But I see you did it yourself. Nice thinking

Hi,
This is the first time I rooted and installed a custom ROM.
I wanted Android 5.x on my new LG G2 AT&T (D800 20y) which came with 4.x.
So I
- rooted using ioroot10
- installed ROM Manager, TWRP Manager, AutoRec, (SuperSU,...)
- reboot to restore
- created a backup (checked all check boxes) using TWRP Backup, it created 2.5-3GB backup.
- reboot system, downloaded latest CM12.2 nightly from cyanogenmod dot org and put the zip file in /sdcard.
- from ROM Manager GUI -> Install ROM from SD Card and followed all prompts (reboot to restore, ...)
- rebooted a couple of times and finally booted up in CM12
- things were bad, Play Store didn't work (I tried installing GApps, it was still crashing), browser was crashing and so on. So I decided to go back.
- Rebooted to restore
- TWRP restore -> Selected the backup I had created earlier.
It started restoring but it's stuck at "Restoring system" since 3+ hours.
I'm scared of stopping it in between by hardbooting for obvious reasons, so for now I'm leaving it connected to charger.
Only screwup I think I might've done is there is no SD card on the phone, so I don't know if it's trying to restore the backup onto the backup file itself or something.
Thanks

So... you did all of this on a recovery dated before the release of lollipop?

Of course. That's why I come here for help.
I could've added that I [thought I] had clicked on stable before taking the latest ROM in the last, but just because I thought I was not making a mistake is not an excuse.
Anyway, I hard booted, and restored to D80010o using tot method. Of course it was a horror story, me being a noob at this, I spent solid 10-12 hours on my laptop.
But thanks for your help!
