as you do with every update that is not OTA
Download the update file and rename it to update.zip
Move the file to your phone's /sdcard directory
Reboot your phone and when it starts booting back up, hold Volume Up + Power
Select Recovery
The phone will reboot into recovery but first it'll show an exclamation point and a triangle. At this point, mash the Power and Volume Up buttons a few times until the recovery screen shows up OR if you have rooted your phone and have installed CWM you will see cwm's menu...choose update from sd card and then find the update.zip file
Select Apply sdcard update.zip
Reboot and enjoy (hopefully) Android 2.3.6

Since the file said GRK39F-from-GRJ22, i use cwr to restore stock grj22 with its original radio, then use cwr to flash this posted file. Thats all.
Pls check if ur stock grj22 is using it's stock radio if its a backup. I got error the last time when i flash original 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 with a different radio.
Not sure about this but im using Tmobile's set

ClockWorkMod Recovery for the Incredible has been updated to v2.5.0.5

You can use unrEVOked v3.1 to flash a custom recovery.
Does it flash radio images???
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Sort of.
No amount of recovery modifications is going to allow you to flash unsigned radios magically.
I suggest installing this, but don't try to flash a radio or anything -- it won't work.
I believe that it will now allow signed firmware updates (like those that come with RUUs). Clockworkmod will now correctly boot you to HBOOT and install the update. You will lose clockworkmod when you do this if the firmware update includes a stock recovery. You cannot mod the firmware update
So, I suggest installing this; but wait on any firmware flashes.

So I just tried it on unrevoked windows and every time it just gets stuck at trying to push the image through. Going to redownload it and see if it's the image itself.

Would it be possible to add and option to Power Down.
Yes! Finally got .0.5 running. The img never pushed through so I just downloaded the zip and ran it as an update. Beautiful.

I flashed to the latest ClockWorkMod and everything seemed to go fine. It rebooted into recovery showing the new version, but I recieved the error below when it completed. I know after this step it usually reboots the phone and starts back up, but for some reason it didn't. Everything seems to be fine but I just want to make sure for my own sanity that this error won't do any harm to the phone.

No, that is a known issue. It is the "Windows is retarded." issue.
Don't worry, it just didn't reapply root to your phone. Since you were already rooted, nothing is amiss.
How do you update this from unrEVOked on PC?

Hello,
I have compiled two new recovery images for us from source.
ClockworkMod
The first one is ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5, based on the new Gingerbread sources. It is NOT an official ClockworkMod build and is NOT perfect. Do not bother koush about it, he will ignore you.
This recovery has a new font suited for our low resolution screen, and features orange text, as well as some nice new features. It's generally an improvement over the old ClockworkMod we have.
Download ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5
Amon_RA
I have also compiled us Amon_RA recovery based on his v2.0.0 sources. Again this is neither official nor perfect. Don't bother Amon_RA, he will probably ignore you too.
Download Amon_RA recovery here.
General info:
Both recoveries are reported to have bugs with sd-ext mounting, but other than that they seem to work okay.
Devs: It is worth noting that ClockworkMod 3.x only supports installing ROMs using Edify, (i.e. updater-script and binary), and not Amend (update-script). This is because Google actually got rid of Amend in cupcake. This DOES break installation of Sense ROMs, and so I advise devs to try out this recovery and try to move to the Edify method. Everybody else, be patient in the meantime.
You can flash either recovery using unrevoked (select custom recovery image), or using fastboot when we get S-OFF from AlphaRev (still waiting )
Feel free to contact me if you are having trouble, but I will probably only help you out if you are a dev (for now anyway).
Have fun
Reserved
wowww nice work jacob... will try them... Esp the AMON_RA recovery... i was waiting for it.. great work as usual... thanks...
Rocking Clockwork although I might try amon_ra, never had it before. Can't wait for alpharev, it'll make it SO much easier.
Does this version of clockworkmod correct the bug for charging while off ?

You can (if you have'nt already understand that) with the help of ROM manager install SU again and that would probably fix your problem with superuser app.

In Unrevoked, you specify the custom recovery (recovery.img) with CTRL+R or File -> Custom Recovery. You don't put it on the SD card, you stupid moron.
I rooted my phone yesterday and tryed to install cyanogen 10.1 for android 4.2.2, however instead of putting the zip file in the sd card i had put the extracted files, which was a big mistake, as i had wiped out data and then booted as i couldn't find the rom (i am practically a noob since i was doing all this following a guide but i had mistaken zip files for extracted files). Now when i install rom manager it is hard for me to flash anything as it gets stuck in the screen that says "reboot from sd card" or something like that and when i press ok, it gets stuck in that screen, can someone tell me how to install the rom, im thinking of installing probam
can u also tell how to go into recovery manually, i have clockworkmod recovery (5.x.x i think)

You really don't have to be this rude. We all know that it's annoying to see these threads every two days but that's not an excuse for breaking the rules.
For OP: Search the Forums for Root, Bootloader Unlock and Custom Roms. You should read everything before trying something to prevent damage or you'll probably create a "I bricked my phone! Help!"-thread in two days
The key combo for recovery is vol down + power and release power when LG logo appears or it will reboot (a one minute search for "manually access cwm", just saying)

OK in order to flash custom rom you are required more than rooting.
those are the stages you must fulfill in order to flash :
1- Root :as u say u already rootd " u can check if u rooted properly or not by root checker.apk at play store"
2-Unlock bootloader :you can choose between any ways i prefer two ways 1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263627
b- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020
"you can check if bootloader unlocked properly by hiting 3845#*880# then bootloader then checkbootloader the unlock " u should see this "
3- flash custom recovery : i prefer CWM through that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298420
4- Flash to custom ROM : a- choose ur ROM ,download it as zip file - download Gapps if u like b-put them in to sd card and boot in recovery " power + vol-" choose to install zip file - install first the ROM then GAPPS " optional " - DON"T FORGET TO WIPE DATA AND CASH " after installation to be stable

Hey, folks.
First-time listener, first-time caller.
My Galaxy SIII GT-I9305 originates from Hong Kong.
When I bought it (used, on Kijiji) it was running 4.1.2
When 4.3 finally became available for this model a couple of weeks ago I bit the bullet and installed it using Kies.
I knew 4.3 had issues but I went ahead anyway because I live dangerously, dontcha know.
Today I decided I wanted root so, instead of taking my time and reading the sage advice of kind people like you I jumped right in with ODIN and Chainfire using Instructions I found on these forums and elsewhere.
The rooting procedure seemed to go off without a hitch. Then the phone booted up. Then this started happening:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Selecting "Update" brings me to this:
And anything I do that requires root gives me this:
I tried re-rooting using a different version of ODIN to no avail.
Posters in other threads suggested re-installing SuperSU.
I tried executing superuser.apk using ES File Explorer and got this:
Incidentally, in Download Mode I can see that I've triggerd the Knox Void Warranty Flag, not that I have a warranty.
At this point I just want to get my phone to work as it did with stock 4.3.
What's my quickest route there?
Upgrade SuperSu
Fails in recovery format system cache data and sdcard.
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin.
I don't think the root operation was successful; the Root Checker apps I downloaded hang when I check. I tried launching Titanium Backup and it hangs, too, at "Asking for root rights".
In fact, any time I launch any app that needs root I get the Security Information warning as in my first screenshot.

I don't have a custom recovery installed. Should I install one? TWRP?
Mounts and storage? What do you mean by that?
Format? As in I should boot into recovery and choose "wipe data/factory reset"? Can't I do that from stock recovery?
Is this something I have to do before I flash the stock firmware? After?
I'm really confused.
p.s. as it turns out the download from sammobile's host, terrafile, has failed six or seven times now. Are there any mirrors?
Rooting is not working withe. The same problem as post 1 has. What is going on with these phones...
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
Root problem
I too had root problems-rooting OK and then losing it on a restart.This is a GT-I9305 LTE,XXUEMLl5 EE UK firmware and Cf Auto root downloaded from Chainfire's site.I did find 2 versions of the Autoroot file slightly different sizes but both work (up to a point-read on).
So,initially installed 4.3 firmware with PC Odin and Autorooted with same setup.Here's the first catch.As stated by Chainfire,the phone should reboot into stock recovery.If it doesn't you need to do this "manually" and then just reboot-see Chainfire thread.2nd catch.I read somewhere that "Fix permissions" could upset the rooting process,so I wouldn't do that whilst in stock recovery at this stage.
You now should have a rooted firmware but my problem was that if I restarted I would lose the root
My solution was to use Mobile Odin Pro.I know it costs but it did work for me and that make's it worth every penny.Read on.
Whilst you've still got root install the firmware again with MO Pro.This installs root and SuperSu using Everoot.Reinstalling the Supersu or upgrading will possibly tell you that your SU Binary needs updating.When I tried "Normal" it didn't work.At the moment you don't have custom recovery installed,so using MO Pro again install TWRP using their "Open recovery tar" and try updating SU by selecting TWRP/CWM.When script has installed reboot and no more prompt to update binary.I didn't try CWM.Read somewhere it might not work.TWRP does.
Now I have a rooted phone with stock 4.3 on it.Root survives a restart and much use removing all the bloatware that Samsung provide for us.
But that's another story.
I hope this post helps those with root problems.Going through the stages above,working,not working,took a long time but I do now have a rock solid fast 4.3 phone.
Anyone fancy a KitKat?
P.S.Just booted the phone into TWRP and tried fixing permissions.Thankfully still have root but it had a think about it!
Good news:
I managed to update SuperSU— not through Play store but using the superuser.apk file from Chainfire's 1.89 update. It's funny because the version already installed was 1.89.*
I extracted the apk from the package, put it on my external SD card and launched the file using ES File Explorer.
What's also interesting is that I had to try this several times before it worked. Somewhere along the way I also wiped the phone's cache in (stock) recovery mode, although I can't, this morning, recall whether I did that immediately prior to the successful update, although it was definitely some time prior.
*I guess it's not unlike in Windows, when, say, a NIC stops working suddenly, usually a quick driver reinstallation does the trick.
Hey guys, I'm new here..idk if this is the right category but here we go: I tried to upgrade the software from the phone and after reboot just went in recovery mode and I found out I have no android. After that I copied stable cm 10.1 gapps on my sd card then I tried to install the zips, everything seemed ok..I restarted the phone and it went straight to recovery mode. I did the same thing with the android 4.4.2 MoKee and happend the same thing. What should i do?

Hey guys, I'm new here..idk if this is the right category but here we go: I tried to upgrade the software from the phone and after reboot just went in recovery mode and I found out I have no android. After that I copied stable cm 10.1 gapps on my sd card then I tried to install the zips, everything seemed ok..I restarted the phone and it went straight to recovery mode. I did the same thing with the android 4.4.2 MoKee and happend the same thing. What should i do?

I had stock JB and I had this program in menu "Software update" and it was an 19-25 mb update..I downloaded and I installed the update then the phone rebooted and it went in cwm recovery. If I install a custom rom everything seems ok, after reboot it enter straight to recovery and I don't know why.

If you set up working stock JB follow this:
*prepare custom ROM, kernel and Gapps then copy to SD
*if you want CWM download this: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-p880.img, then copy *.img file to a folder where adb is installed and rename it to recovery.img
*boot to fastboot mode (adb reboot oem-unlock)
*install recovery in fastboot mode (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
*power off, then boot to recovery
*flash ROM, Gapps and kernel

You don't really need different kernel, for first start I suggest you official CM11 nightly
Hit thanks if it helps

I recommend you not to use this kernel, it is deprecated. Try without flashing different kernel first. Which CWM did you download? From link I gave?
EDIT: Have you done formats of /system, /data, /cache ?
You bugged out your device. OTA doesnt work properly with custom recovery installed. Reflash kdz to fix the issue,but try grabbing everything you need from via adb from recovery first as you may have to do hard reset from stock recovery which will format your internal sd (in case you dont know how to flash custom recovery via fastboot)

You can reflash or put phone to stock state with using lgmobile support tool. Just put phone in S/W mode (volume down and USB cable plug in) and in dropdown menu select update recovery

yes, you can. the bug you encountered only happens when you use OTA with modified stock firmware.
good luck :good:

Ok, I got it. Thank you! One more thing, I swear it! When I try to root my phone (I follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502 ), the SystemBackupTest doesn't work, I googled the problem and I found nothing.
