Thanks, but if its not a problem to you. Can you put a step by step so I can do it like it is. Thank you. I'm really new at this. So if can help me by telling me exactly how to do it I would really appreciate that.

you could do it through terminal emulator, first you need the cm6 rom flashed then you need to download the clockwork mod 3.xxx of wich ever you want after you flashed the cm6 rom then you need to put the recovery clockwork you downloaded and rename the file inside the zip recovery.img then put it in the root of the sdcard not in any files or folder. then you go to terminal and type in
su [click enter]
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img[press enter]
then you should see a line that has the # mark and nothing next to it! and you should have the new clockwork i hope this helps you :] please do ask for any question!!

Nexus 7 4.2.1 root issue

I flashed update 4.2.1 factory image from Google website. And flashed latest CWM recovery and supersuV0.98 both. It goes well for root explorer and Titanium backup apps and so on.
Problem is, I couldn't use "adb shell mount -o remoun, rw /system" on my laptop！Only we could do is by adb shell, then type su to get root to operate system files. It seems system couldn't get completed root! Something must goes wrong... Anybody can help?

I've encountered this issue before. I ended up booting to recovery and doing it there.

So didn't you solve this problem or just go to recovery to mount system?
Now I must type adb shell to go in shell and type su to get root...

What I needed done could be done trough recovery, so once I fixed my issue ( there was no launcher installed) I wasn't investigating further.

Don't you need an insecure boot.img to use adb remount?

Thanks! I did this, fastboot erase boot, so that I lost insecure boot.img before. Where is JOP40D's insecure boot.img ? I just downloaded boot-insecure-jop40c from Nexus 7 toolkit..., it does work. Fixed.

Oh, couldn't get permanent insecure boot, even I flashed superboot from Paul...

I rooted my Nexus 7 with CWM using ADB's sideload feature. I'm using ubuntu linux with fastboot and adb at my fingertips. I simply typed in this
adb sideload (filename.zip) (Be sure to navigate to where the .zip su is located.)
example: sudo ./adb sideload supercwm.zip (Sudo on linux gives root permissions and the ./ runs the specific program in the current location)

Never accept an OTA with Custom Recovery.
You need to wipe everything and then flash a kdz.

if you have not already flashed back to stock and have adb access you can try the following command-
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

I have not yet flash the stock rom. Before attempting to experiment on below, have you tried below procedure?

Those commands are from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 and what they do is they remove the ota so that it's like you didn't take it before and may let you boot into os without having to flash back to stock, but if it doesn't work then your only other choice is flash back to stock

I've done a lot of reading on xda over the years so I know some of the do and don't when you have root/custom recovery and don't get in too much trouble with my phones

Galaxy S5 SM-G900I Asia Root?

I see there is a root out there already but it seems to be the international and not Asia.
Does anyone know an Asia SM-G900I Root available.
Thanks in advance.

hi dude i have this model as well and have spoken to chainfire and he is waiting for the stock firmwares to be released to create the root for our model,
hopefully will have to be soon, i havnt found one anywhere else for now
Brent

Flash CWM.
Once done, do a backup and try CF Root for another model of s5. If it works, report this useful anwser. If it doesn't works, say it and restore your backup.

Can you inbox me Chainfire details, i might be able to give him a stock rom.
cheers

i can also say that ive successfully rooted my SM-G900I Galaxy S5 with the SM-G900F method no problems at all!

Hey guys so does this mean we could possibly flash a SM-G900f firmware on the the SM-G900i phones?

Ooh great news!
If u flashed g900f u will have a different modem so prob best not to
Sent from my SM-G900I using xda app-developers app

I don't wanna risk it, gonna wait for an official 900I root release. Cant wait xD

Root works for the 900i atm just use the 900f cf-root method if you dont care about knox.
Is there a way that I can possibly upload the 900i firmware to flash back to if something goes wrong?
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Is there a version of CMW for G900I version. I found it one for H but it warns not to use on other variants.
Thanks

I don't kwow but you can do a backup of your recovery using DD in ADB shell and try to flash CWM for another model of s5. If it doesn't works, restore the img file using DD in ADB shell

Thanks.
Could you explain how to DD backup as ive never done that way before,
thanks

You must connect your phone in ADB and enter this command :
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096"
I don't kwow if the recovery partition is right mmcblk0p10 for your phone. The SG-900H recovery partition is mmcblk0p10 and for SM-G900F it's mmcblk0p16.
Try to backup the two partition with the commands :
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery-h.img bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/recovery-f.img bs=4096"
Look at the recovery.img size. A recovery image amount of size is 10 mb.
I think this command may be universal but i not tested it :
adb shell su -c dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Hope this helps

Thanks for all your help just anohter question.
My phone is 100% new without any root etc so how do i get su?
Should i be doing this in normal op mode on the phone as when i try recovery mode it wont install drivers or find the phone,
when u use in normal mode i get this.
C:\android>adb shell su -c "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=409

If you still have stock recovery installed then yes, you can enter it on terminal or adb shell
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/orwhereveryouwanttosave/yourstockrecoveryname.img

What is your model?

For ze500kl. Root and usb debugging.
Commands:
adb shell
su
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 > /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Recovery img will be saved in the internal storage.
This way you can back up all partitions to file img.
Then can using fastboot mode to restore partition.
Command from fastboot mode:
fastboot flash partition file.img
For example:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Partition recovery will be overwrite file recovery.img.
Partition names are in the folder
/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name

if it needs su right, so mobile must be rooted and it would have done with TWRP if i m not wrong, then what about stock recovery

Yes, this need root. When installing su, just boot twrp, don't flash them.
You can use that "temporary" twrp to flash su, and stock recovery still intact.
