Hey guys, can I flash CWM recovery from ROM Manager or do I have to flash through a computer with ODIN? Has anyone tried this method? Someone in the market comment of ROM Manager says it doesn't work that's what got me worried.
yes u can do that, if u do the odin way u can cwm over the odin way also if needed.

Hello,
i have a question. Can you rood the galaxy gio after installing CWM recovery? If so, how do u do that?
I taught my phone was rooted and installed cwm recovery. But now it turned out that my something went wrong in rooting and cwm is allready installed.
Can i still root my phone without installing stock rom again?
I tried to go to update from sd card in the cwm recovery, but i can not choose any file.
I can only choose between no and yes install update. If i pick install update he installs something, but it is not the root file..

Hi,
You can try this, only for Gingerbread:

Use update.zip in the recovery mode.
Helle everyone.
I am a noob here. I installed a new Android OS (i know you guys call it flashing a ROM) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but previously cleaned everything on my device.
Now I am running a new Android looks like the one before but I am not satisfied with it. What I want is that I could install any android version with zip file so I could install it using only the device no computers included and that's done by going into recovery by pressing power+volume up+menu simultaneously. I have done this before and installed android OS in a zip file. But now that I have installed this new android version I can't find "install zip from sdcard" when I go into recovery. Why is that? Can anyone else please help me please?
What recovery you have?
In TWRP:
Just press install and browse to file and click it then swipe to flash.
In Philz/CWM:
1. Flash zip
2. Install from sdcard
If you have non of these recoveries, then flash one of them using Odin (i don't know if Odin mobile would work)
Then try again..

I dont get TWRP or CWM
I don't understand what TWRP,Philz/CWM are? If you could please help me understand them!
I installed a firmware from a website (of course according to region)
And installed into my device using Odin on my PC. After that the recovery mode changed and I can't find some of those things i used to have
Like "install zip from sdcard" or "mount and storage" i lost those features. How can i get those back so i can install ROMs from sdcard?
You need a custom recovery like CWM. You can install it with odin. Your phone isnt rooted.
Sorry, what is a custom recovery and where can i get it? Do you have a link or a step by step guide concerning my situation?
I am using my N7100 posting this question and my phone is rooted, is there any application that can restore those things that i need ( for example, install zip from sdcard. How can i get this option back like it was before?
I think you're still using stock recovery as you don't know Twrp, cwm recovery.. They are called custom recovery. That give you more option than stock one such as flashing a new rom, install from SD card, backup your whole android system ( ROM), restoring it.. Blah blah blah...
First, have u root your phone? If so, you can go to these steps.
To install custom recovery, download latest Odin, then Google "cwm recovery for galaxy note 2 GT-N7100" and download that.. May be there'll be methods explained how to flash custom recovery.

Flash it with Odin, then you'll have a custom recovery called Twrp recovery, cwm /philz recovery. OK?

No, I am not using the stock market. I installed a new ROM (a custom one which has some nice features), and my phone is rooted (I use Titaniun backup). I flashed this custom ROM with this option "install this from sdcard" but now that i am using this ROM, I can't find that option anymore.
I'm a little bit confused why u don't know custom recovery and u have a custom rom.. To flash custom rom, u need custom recovery as far as I know...
OK.. Then, I think your recovery got some error
May be just reflash cwm recovery with Odin.. U can't flash with your phone now.. I installed cwm recovery from galaxynote2root.com.. Just Google how to install cwm recovery on GT-N7100 and look for that website.. Hope you'll be OK..

I installed an app called "recovery tool" on Play Store and helped me with what I wanted. Now I can flash with my GT-N7100.
Thanks anyway.
Thank you all for your help.
Hey XDA,
I have a rooted S3 AT&T running stock rom with no recovery. I would like to install CWM Recovery, however I noticed it was an .img file, and Odin can only flash .tar files. So is it possible to use MobileODIN to flash cwm recovery or am I stuck to using the adb code to flash it. I have tried using CWM Rom manager app to flash/install cwm recovery however it is giving me an error ("Error downloading CWM Recovery) whenever I try to download the cwm recovery image from within the app. So will the mobile odin method work???
Thanks in advance XDA!!
Hi, another alternative is to use an app called "Flashify" off the Play Store,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
You can use this to flash recovery images and it has some useful tools, too. I have not used it before, so I can't recommend from experience but it has great reviews off the Play Store. As for the recovery images, you can use this link, find your device and download the latest version of CWM

Again this is all information, and I am in no way, shape, or form responsible for anything and everything that may/may not happen to your device. Hope this helps!
I used a root method on youtube today. SuperUser wouldn't work because the binary wasn't installed. So I tried to reboot and go into recovery, then I backed up and erased the data etc. So it failed on the AOKP rom that i was going to install then it wouldn't let me restore. So using ODIN fastboot i flashed over CWM 5.5.0.4. I think one of the new CWM recoveries has USB Storage Mount but on there website the zips only come in .zip and not .tar so I can use odin to flash it over. When I try to flash the stock ROM (.TAR) (619MB) through odin it fails. Someone please help me
i tried to flash custom rom but it failed i need to restore the stock recovery.
the problem is that my phone has a problem in mini usb it doesnt work when i connect it to pc
is there a way to flash rom or recovery without pc
If you have a working custom recovery, you can try to convert the stock recovery to a zip and flash it that way. If you have a working ROM, you can try to use adb commands to push the recovery to the phone.
BTW, this is not the correct forum for your phone.

i dont have one i searched for one but i havnt find yet
if u can help me to find one and give me the instructions how to flash it
considering that usb socket doesnt work i cant connect it to computer
You can download the stock rom from sammobile.com, extract the recovery, convert to zip, and flash in recovery.
If flashing a rom failed, flashing stock recovery is not going to help because you need to flash a stock rom.
Did you search in the ace forum?

You would need a working custom recovery. You can put a rom into an sd card and flash in from custom recovery.
