Every time I install cwm recovery and I flash anything it disappears
Locked bootlaoder stock 4.2.2 rooted

Install [NUT]'s dual recovery. As far as I know it's the only one that works properly with 4.2.2.

This happens because the recovery actually is not associated with the kenel/bootloader.
It is actually installed on the android system. However, you can avoid this by flashing the recovery again after each time you flash an new rom.
Before you reboot, for sure.

I was going to say that, but the OP states he is on a stock rooted rom, therefore it hasn't been lost because /system was overwritten.
It is true, however, that the recovery I linked to is the only one that works after the first time booting into it on stock 423 roms. If you look in the thread for CWM for locked bootloaders, you will see people complaining of the same problem as the OP.

If you use busybox 1.21 that problem can occure. Install 1.20.2

If you're just installing mods with it, then it shouldn't disappear. If it does, then report it in the thread.
If you mean it disappears when installing a custom rom, then that is normal.
It says this in the OP of the dual recovery thread -

When installing custom ROMs:
Be sure to flash lockeddualrecovery2.5.1-RELEASE.zip after installing the ROM and before you reboot, this way you will not lose recovery![/QUOTE]

no it disappears after i mount the system permissions as writable and reboot
of course i know that i should flash the dual recovery after i install a new rom
but this happened before with cwm and twrp
Firstly, (from what I am reading in various threads), the versions of CWM and TWRP available in the development section do not work properly with 4.2.2 and will definitely disappear after a reboot in 4.2.2 based roms.
Have you installed version 2.5 of the dual recovery, as that is required for 4.2.2 roms? Earlier versions will also disappear after a reboot, I believe.
If so, have you manually updated your version of busybox? This can stop the dual recovery working according to what [NUT] Says in his thread.
If none of that applies, go report it to [NUT] in the dual recovery thread. I'm sure he will be happy to help.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Define "latest" one, because if you're using 423 you need the last one.

Ummmm.... Pass on that. I just downloaded it off Google, can't remember the site, it said it was the one to root the 4.2.2.
Hi, I'm looking for some advice on the best way to remove dual recovery. After rooting with towel root I installed a version of dual recovery which didn't work . I tried to follow Nut's instructions for removing dual recovery but these instructions said to delete a number of files only some of which existed on my phone. I deleted what I could find and have tried to install the newer working version of dual recovery but I keep getting an error message saying that it is already installed. Would anyone have any advice on the best way forward or has anyone had a similar issue?
Thanks
Hi.
I had the same issue where mine stopped working correctly
I just flashed a new ftf file for version 4.4.4 and then re rooted the phone
Not sure of any other way but this was quick enough to do.

Or, just look for the dual recovery removal tool on [NUT]s download page

Cheers I think the reflashing might be the best way to go. I thought that nut's removal tool needs to be flashed and I don't have recovery working or have I got that completely wrong ?

My device galaxy s3 19305 lte is brick. It won't boot up even after I flash the original firmware from sammobile. So I was told that the bootloader is damage.

did you try a dalvik wipe? sometimes it helps
I think you need to flash twpr (you can find it on this forum) then a full wipe, after that, try another rom (i'm using for now a 4.4.4 rom, but tried several 5.02 rom's. Was working fine only a irri noise when i was caling with somebody, think my mic is broken)I would say, try also to use odin multiflasher to reset all settings of your phone, start new from the begin, It can be a nasty problem but good to fix.

If you have TWRP, you can flash anything. Root permissions apply inside the rom, not inside a custom recovery.
If you're on the recovery, you can flash anything (that your recovery allows).
inside TWRP, find a way to wipe everything except EFS. Format /system , /cache , /data and /data/media if it shows.

yes it should be possible to instal kitkat or lollipop, did that several times, but you have to be sure you're going to use the right rom's (9305 or LTE) if you don't you divice can be bricked.
Are you sure your samsung has root? please download en install root checker from the playstore, this will tell you if your samsung has root!!
i ran this rom a few days (again ihave a personal problem with my mic, on lollipop there is a noise, on kitkat or older roms not) can't find what couses the problem, sadly....

My sp stuck in boot loop
Hi guys, Please HELP!!!
So I rooted my phone a while ago and it was all fine until yesterday, when I changed the boot animation, stupidly, I forgot to rename the original boot animation zip so when I downloaded the new one, They both had the same name. Not realising this I went ahead and restarted the phone and I'm guessing the system did not know which one to use and is stuck on bootloop, is there any way out?

Heya there!
Did you make a backup of your ROM in a recovery? If so, boot into recovery and restore your backup.
If you don't have a recovery and didn't make a backup,the only way out would be to flash stock ftf file for your specific phone (C530X, area/region) using Flashtool by androxyde. THIS METHOD WILL WIPE EVERYTHING except your external SD

Thanks, I made a backup of "system and user files" using titanium backup but I'm not sure if that includes the rom, anyway I did not get a cwm recovery or such so my only option is using the flash tool, thank you for the info

Hi, if they both had the same name then the system would've simply overwritten the old one and put the new one in. If you have a backup of your rom you could extract the original bootanimation and use a flash-able zip with your original boot animation. Or just download another bootanimation that works with sp and then just flash it.
Hi,
I own a C5303 and running on firmware 12.1.A.1.205. I would like to know what are the tools I need to root. I am aware I need to unlock the bootloader as I have some experience rooting other android devices. I have downloaded flash tool but I couldnt somehow get into the bootloader. I would like some suggestions for what firmware to use and the process to root. I did not get the latest OTA update(12.1.A.1.207) from my carrier (Virgin Mobile Australia). I have also experienced the annoying screen brightness changing from time to time.
check first that unlocking the BL is possible
Do this by going into the stock dialler entering *#*#7378423#*#* a window will open
Proceed to press service info then configuration and you can find out under rooting status if it says no your BL cannot yet be unlocked (like me). if yes you can unlock
Phone must be powered down to continue
To enter fast boot to unlock the BL press volume up then while holding it plug in the USB into your device if done correctly greenlight will appear ( do this when flash tool tells you to connect your device.) Process will ERASE internal storage so backup and DRM keys will be lost so backup those as well think there's a thread for that somewhere. Good luck phone will reboot afterwards
Hey, I want to change my GApps package which has been giving me FC's since day one. It's been a month now, so I don't wanna wipe and start anew. Any Ideas??[emoji4]
I'm afraid the only way that I know of is to wipe and start over.

Yes.
Something not mentioned in the thread was if you use flashtool to unlock your boot loader (by pressing "BLU", " Unlock Boot loader" then enter the unlock code) it is much easier and will automatically backup ur DRM keys so if you want to relock (BLU, Unlock Boot loader, there will be a new button saying relock boot loader and the unlock code will still be entered) the DRM keys will be automatically restored.
This is for some versions of Flashtool by Androxyde... Not sure if its for all.
