Http://blog.csdn.net/zcynical/article/details/19241595

Preface:

In addition to the first step, this method is applicable to all devices supported by the CM system. The first step is only applicable to Samsung devices because the odin3 software on the PC is used for recovery ing, for machines of other brands, you need to find another method to fl the recovery. Then, you can use this method to fl and install services such as Google Play.

Make sure that important information has been backed up before flashing the machine. Avoid power failure of the PC or disconnection of the USB cable when you use odin3 to fl the CWM recovery.

First, we should briefly introduce some tools and terms:

1. Recovery

For detailed definition of recovery, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Recovery

To sum up, recovery is a lightweight runtime environment independent of the primary Android system. In fact, it is placed in different partitions and has its own kernel. Therefore, even if the Android system on the mobile phone or tablet is damaged, you can go to the recovery for repair or refresh the New rom. Each Android device has a recovery system at the factory. However, the original recovery function is relatively simple. Therefore, we need to record the extended third-party recovery made by some open-source communities, then, the new ROM is refreshed by recovery to replace the original Android system.

2. clockworkmod rewm (CWM)

For more information, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery

Or the official website of clockworkmod: http://www.clockworkmod.com/

CWM is a third-party recovery made by koushik Dutta. It supports system backup, ADB debugging, root, and new ROM and update packages. The new version is added with touch screen support, it makes operations on Android devices more convenient.

3. odin3

This is a wire brush software dedicated for Samsung devices. We use USB cables to connect to the mobile phone on the PC end, and then use it to fl the CWM recovery. The latest version should be 3.09. I have used 1.85 for Refresh. It is also a widely used version. This tool is not available on the official website and I don't know the author. However, it is very helpful to find it on the Internet, later I also provided a version uploaded to my Baidu online storage for download.

4. cyanogenmod (cm)

Official Website: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/

There is no need to talk about this. The famous CM system, miui developed by many fans in China Based on it (that is, the UI is redone and a lot of advertisements are added ). Please note that.

5. Google Apps (gapps)

For more information, see here: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps

Actually, gapps refers to all Android apps officially developed by Google, including Google Play Store and Gmail client. However, most services are restricted by the Chinese mainland and it is difficult to connect to them. However, installing Google Play is quite necessary because it is an official App Store that ensures the download of apps from it. The apps in it are relatively difficult to cause problems such as slow running or even crash of Android devices. Of course, even Google Play imposes restrictions on users in mainland China. Few applications are poor, and most of them are junk. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with scientific Internet access to obtain us ip addresses, in this way, you can connect to Google Play in the US region, and then you can see the full version of the App Store, which has a wide variety of categories and a large number of users. This is the real Android Market.

But the problem is thatShanzhaiThe app store cannot download the Google Play APK package for installation. The methods in those tutorials on the Internet may not be able to solve the problem, therefore, you need to use the recovery command to install the gapps package, which is the most reliable and efficient.

Next we will start the official installation process.

Step 1: Click CWM recovery

First, download odin3,

The following is a link to odin3 3.07.

Baidu online storage-odin3_3.07

Then, go to the CWM official website to download the recovery ing of the corresponding device model (find your device model, and click the corresponding version number in that line to download it. The first column is a non-touch-screen recovery ing version, the second column is for the touch screen version. You can choose to download it on your own)

Http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

This should get a file similar to the recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.6-i9300.img, at this time you need to package this file as a tar file to be used by odin3, but this packaging process can not be done in windows, need the Linux environment. If you do not have Linux or are too reluctant to switch the system, you can also use cygwin with tar in Windows (TAR is the default tool of cygwin and does not need to be downloaded separately ).

The following uses cygwin as an example to describe how to package IMG as tar (similar to how to enable terminal in Linux)

First, put the downloaded imgfile in the cygwin installation directory and change the name to recovery. IMG (this is easy to remember)

After cygwin is started, enter the "CD .." command to reach the root directory of cygwin, and then enter the command:

 

tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

 

In this case, the recovery.tar file can be stored in the same directory. This file can be used by odin3.

If you are in trouble, I have performed tar for i9300 international recovery, which provides download. (Other users can go to the Forum on their own)

Baidu netdisk -recovery.tar (i9300 International Edition)

At this time, shut down the phone, and then press the volume reduction, home, boot three keys at the same time, wait for a while, press the volume increase key to continue, the phone will enter the coal mining mode, and then the phone chain to the PC. In this case, you need to disable all mobile phone management software (such as Kies, pods, and 360) on all PCs. Wait a few minutes and the system will install the driver. The volume is loaded in, and the check box before auto reboot is removed (it is very important, otherwise it is likely that recovery will not always be available). Then click the start button (as shown in) and wait until the write is complete.

After the process ends, unplug the USB cable and disable the mobile phone. Then press the volume increase, home, and boot keys at the same time to enter the CWM recovery mode. The version above is consistent with the version you downloaded, indicating that recovery is successful.

Step 2 fl the data to the CM system

Find your device here (if the device list cannot be found, you can find it in the device list on the left)

After clicking in your device, find the stable version to download in the type column. Only this version is the official version, and other versions are beta versions, which are not recommended for normal users.

After the download is successful, a zip file, such as cm-10.2.0-i9300.zip, is generated. Put it in the SD card of your mobile phone and put it in the root directory.

Return to recovery, perform double clearing, and click "Wipe cache partition" (then confirm) and "Wipe data/factory reset" (and then confirm ). Then, click Install zip. On the next page, click choose zip from/storage/sdcard1. On the next page, select the zip package that you just put into the SD card, and then confirm the package. Then, you can start to swipe the CM system, after everything is ready, return to the recovery main interface and select reboot system now. After restarting, you can see the welcome page of CM. Now, the card fl CM system is complete.

Step 3 install gapps

Here, we found the system version corresponding to the gapps package, and put it under the root directory of the SD card just now. Repeat the steps of card flushing the CM system, the only difference is that the last selection is the gap ps zip file.

After everything is complete, restart the system to see that Google Play and other applications have been installed.

The next step is to use the mobile phone science to access the Internet, get overseas IP addresses, and see the real Google Play Store application content. This part of the method has many related tutorials, you can search by yourself.
