Hey, I'm fully rooted on the lastest update however I was wondering if we will be getting a custom Recovery at some point for this phone.
Has anyone heard anything yet?
There is no custom recovery at the moment. Hence no custom development

Hi guys, I have had my phone for a few weeks now and I'd like to ask about a little problem I have been experiencing. So, I just rooted my device this morning and flashed the new ICS ROM. Though, I realised that I prefer MIUI. So, when I loaded recovery to flash my new MIUI ROM, I was greeted by a blue 'CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7'
I don't understand this because when I rooted this morning the recovery I had was a different version and it was orange.
What I need to know is the steps I need to take to flash a new ROM from scratch. Do I need to go back to the original ROM, then re-root? Do I need to re-root at all even?
I guess I'm still kind of a noob, so any help would be appreciated and I will click that 'thanks' button for anyone who gives a good answer.
Thanks in advance, Joe.

CWM and root are not directly related.
CWM comes with the kernel.
Root is part of the rom.
Miui will be rooted when you flash it.
You do not need to be rooted to flash roms via CWM recovery.

im no expert, so dont quote me on this, but from my understanding, and what apple was doing and just about everyother device ive had that had software updates (ps3,psp) when u do the stock rom update it will install over the rom and you will lose your custom rom.
If you switch from the stock rom to a custom rom, you will NOT receive official firmware updates anymore... so as long as you don't go and download a stock rom and install it manually, your phone will continue to run the custom rom until you update / change it...

Most likely a dev will go ahead and release a flashable version of any updates so you can still effectively get updates despite not being stock.
I can't seem to find a straight answer on how to get CWM on my player. I sort of retired my SGP 4.0 USA version from main use and want to use it for testing roms and stuff. I see all kinds of things on how to root however I installed a pre rooted stock rom on my player however I go into recovery and it says android system recovery. Is this like CWM or will I need to get cwm somewhere else. If someone could please clear all this up for my I would be very greatful
Recovery is not separate in this device, it is part of the main ROM. So your recovery will change based on whatever ROM you are running. This is typical of most Samsung devices.

So how would I install a custom rom on this device coming from a stock rooted rom? Like if I wanted to try CM 10 or 11?
All tutorials I have come across assume already having CWM

Odin/heimdall will install the boot image with recovery embedded. I don't really have more details as it's been ages since mine saw stock. Perhaps you can read up on it or someone else can help.

No just use Odin for the kernel, which includes the recovery. Then boot into recovery and do the install. Note that the cm11 kernel surely won't boot stock so you must go straight into recovery.
Hello guys, I actually have a Samsung galaxy s3 i9300, I finally installed after having some technical problems the AOKP rom, but here is my strange problem : my phone isn't rooted anymore ! I don't think that many people already had this curious problem so, anyone knows how it actually can be ?
Thanks a lot

First, what ROM did you install? Some ROM's strangely don't come pre-rooted, so you'll need to install SuperSU zip in recovery to be rooted.

I installés thé AOKP's KitKat ROM with the Google apps pack
I did a backup with clockworkmod before so I kept my apps including supersu but obviously it does not work anymore I don't get it. If I install ssu ZIP in recovery will it ne enough to get back my root ?
Wow that's a problem I can't install ZIP in recovery anymore
Maybe something is missing in my phone, something like the bootloader ?

It needs a Custom Recovery & a Custom ROM(JB or Above) To Upgrade, Search In XDA or Google it, Does Your device Has These Two Means You Can Upgrade..

There is no custom recovery or a custom ROM available that I know of. The device is Vizio Co-star.
If you don't have these 2 things, does it mean you can't upgrade?
Are they are patches or can something be done if the device is rooted?
Thanks

No There Are No Other Ways, if Your Device Supports Official Updates Means You don't Need These Two..if Your Device Doesn't Support Official Updates Means You need Custom Recovery & a ROM to Upgrade From One Version to Another , & Root Helps In Flashing a Recovery, If Your Device Doesn't Have A Custom Recovery Means Root Can't Do Anything With That.. Root is Just a Assistance for Flashing a Custom Recovery ..
CM ROMs Even Have In-build Root With ROMs, So Root is Not A Big Issue Here ...
