Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone have found any custom recovery that may work in XT883, I need to install an update on the main system, that's why I cant use SafeStrap.
I also try to sign the update.zip package in order to make it work with Stock recovery but always fails in verification. I tried many sign methods with no luck.
thanks,
XT862 flashed to XT883.

Hi out there,
A friend of mine has got a milestone (gsm) and problems with flashing recovery and custom rom.
he says he has got root, but when he tries to flash recovery it says "no root rights" (via root console with su). moreover, his recovery is a .zip and not a .img which i was used to (am a htc hero owner). through not having custom recovery, he cant install custom roms, seems like no root on boot.
anyone can help? as the procedure on htc hero seems to be completely different i cant help him, will give him this link so he can see
thank you,

You have everything you need to know. Just ask your friend to go thru.

Hey all,
I've been searching all over for the solution to this problem and I haven't been able to find any sort of solution and all my attempts to google have been in vain. I've been having problems installing any rom from clockworkmod. I have a droid bionic with the system version, 98.72.22.XT875 the android version is 4.1.2. So I was originally trying to get the pacman rom on my phone. I flashed a clean jellybean rom from RSD and then I used bootstrap and rom manager to flash clockworkmod recovery. However every time I tried to install the pacman rom I get an error that says something similar to E: system cant find *blank* file. When I reboot my system after this the phone says that I've lost encryption and it wont allow me to access the phone anymore. So I tried downloading the cryogen mod off of rom manager and I had the same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
You cannot use bootstrap with the jellybean firmware on a bionic, you must use safestrap. It is the only currently working recovery.
Clockworkmod doesn't work either (as far as I know.. Is there even a build for the bionic?)
Clean again with an fxz, root, install safestrap app, install recovery through the app, reboot to safestrap, create a ROM slot, install your ROM to that slot, and all should be good.
(The reason your attempts were in vain is because the boot loader is locked, thus some boot-time patching and workarounds must be done)

Safe strap works great. Boot manager is supposed to work also, haven't tried it yet.

Hey guys,
I keep seeing that the 5830B is almost the same as the "raw" 5830 but for radio frequencies set; however, I´ve tried to install some custom ROMs (Slim and BlackHawk for example) and they all fail at trying to assert for a 5830. They don't mention the variant(s).
That was not a good surprise for me as I always format /system before flashing a new ROM...
Then I tried getting back to stock and found out that Winx64´s USB stack doesn´t like Sammy´s download mode, so no go trying Odin. Great!
Is there any way around this?
I I have the latest CWM recovery installed and I can dump files on the FS through USB mounting. I wouldn´t have a problem flashing a modded stock, that is flashable via CWM, but as I got so many assert failures on different ROMs I thought of asking first...
Meanwhile I'm building a Winx86 install to try and run Odin.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Hello everyone;
I'm all new to this rooting and flashing thing, and I've been reading lots of tutorials and wikis, but still some questions remain:
1. I have a carrier-unlocked i9305t (It came with carrier software and the carrier logo shows up everytime I start the phone, but it is unlocked to any sim-card in my country). Should I flash the device to CyanogenMOD 11 (which is available for i9305, not i9305t), would my phone brick? Or, in other words, what are the main differences between i9305 and i9305t and can I install a custom ROM for i9305 in i9305t?
2. What's the difference between rooting and installing a custom recovery (such as TWRP)? Will installing a custom recovery give me root acces to my phone?
[edit] 2.1. So I've found that I can root my phone through a custom recovery by flashing a SuperSu (super user) file on it. Where can I find a safe SuperSu file for i9305t?
3. I've found this tutorial (can't post the link thanks to forum rules, sorry!) for installing CyanogenMOD 11 in i9305 in which there's no mention to rooting the device: the process consists of installing a custom recovery in the phone and, from there, flash the CyanogenMOD 11 ROM. Is this correct and safe?
Then again, thanks for the help and sorry for the bad english, I'm not a native speaker.
Cheers!
You can flash any i9305 tom on your phone. The t just has to do with the frequency bands your phone uses. All you need to do is flash a custom recovery. Root is included in cm 11 so you only need to flash that

I just got a i9305T too, rooted, downloaded latest CM 11 nightly, when tried to intall zip it gave me Status 7 error, something about my device being a 'm0' and so not compartible.
I somehow wiped the stock system and can't mount USB with the TWRP... Now I'm downloading things so I can flash the stock and get back to square one.
What's going on and what can I do? Will I always have the latest CM Roms? Otherwise I'm somehow giving up this phone. Please help me.

I am a CM i9305T user here. For me, TWRP gives me error codes but then changing to ClockWorkMod recovery (latest version) solved error code 7. I used everything for i9305 for my i9305T phone and I have no problems. Try installing ClockWorkMod and flash CM + GApps.:laugh:

I have an I9305T running CM11, I found I had to use the TWRP for the I9305, as the one for the I9305T (which is not yet updated to 2.7) did not allow me to flash CM. CM works fine for me, and I flashed the modem.bin that I extracted out of the latest 4.3 update from Telstra (Aus) which gives me the same LTE network speeds as I was getting on stock.
1. No you will not brick your phone... difference between 9305 and 9305T is in the frequencies that the phone uses to connect to your mobile operator...95% is the same for all..but for a few countries is not...they use different frequencies to connect the phone to the network...so samsung releases a version of the phone with T at the end.
2. A custom recovery is for installing new ROMs on the phone...installing new mods...and stuff...you have access to internal parts of the device... it has a interface with different option....combo to access it: volume up+home+power
I recommend CWM recovery.
Root access is like administrator on windows...by default you can't access system files on your phone and other stuff...for safety reasons...rooting your phone enables access to that stuff...but if you are a newbie better not to root.
2.1 Here is the package: download.chainfire.eu/supersu - but at the moment i'm writing this the site is dowm.
3. Yes...the order of installing CM11 is:
a) Back-up first in case of failure - i don't do this cause it takes a lot of time and i don't have anything important on the phone...i use cloud storage.
b) Install custom recovery and enter custom recovery
c) do a full wipe - factory reset + cache partition + dalvik cache
d) install ROM
e) install GApps.
Every ROM has it's own install instructions...just follow them.
hey, I installed a custom ROM with twp. after the installation I figured out that the rom don't work properly(I tried any rom possible but each one had some issues ) so I tried to get back to stock and couldn't do it.
I tried putting an update file into a "dload" folder on my SD and then going to stock recovery (I flashed it manually through adb) and tried to flash it but it failed every time.
does anybody knows what should I do to get back to stock?
You can't flash custom ROMs one over another, usually each one must be flashed only from the appropriate stock ROM(s) - because their ZIP files overwrite various system partitions and in different combinations.
Also, you can't install every stck ROM by DLOAD, and neither from any unknwn state/mess (good luck, after all the phone wasn't bricked).
You should know from which stock ROM you originally started and you want now to go back (no info above?!).
If iit was one of the stock ROMs listed in the following post, you may flash the corresponding HWOTA.zip and do a Factory reset as described:
