Whenever I try to get into my CWM recovery it takes me to the stock android recovery. I've been stuck at EG30 (which is rooted) for a while now. Is there some trick I need to know to get into CWM?

Thanks, I had already installed CWM through the root method I used when I first rooted then phone and then afterwards by using CWM Rom Manager. I'll try using this method as well, but I don't have high hopes.

Use this to flash a new recovery. There's a free one somewhere but i'm too lazy to look.

Also don't ever use ROM manager to flash a recovery.

So ROM Manager doesn't work? It's what was recommended by the first instructions I came across. Does it just not work with the Epic 4G Touch? If so, it's strange that it has the device as an option when flashing cwm recovery.

It works its just not recommended by those of us who actually flash a lot. It will get you in more trouble than its worth at times. Stay away from it and just learn how to do things I guess the longer way....
It's not like it takes that much longer anyways.

I recently purchased this SGS3, installed CWM and rooted it. Everything was going great - but then i was offered the most recent OTA update, so i reflashed the stock recovery via Odin, did the update which is:
4.0.4
T999EVLH2
same kernel
bld #: IMM76D.T999EVALH2
now, its saying the phone is no longer rooted (yet superSU is still there) but checkroot is saying that it isnt rooted, and no matter what i do, flashing CWM via Odin passes, but will not stick (as in, i boot into recovery mode and that damned stock recovery is STILL THERE, wtf?)
can anyone offer any assistance or insight into my issue.
Thanks

Flash CWM v6. If that alone doesn't fix it, disable auto reboot in Odin, after flash, reboot phone manually into recovery mode.

Can you describe for me, in the greatest detail possible, how to reproduce your exact problem?
I've done it countless times in the past days, and it has worked every time.

as have i, for myself and for others - this is the first time an Odin flash says pass but simply wont take.
Like i said, i flashed stock recovery onto phone using Odin3 1.78 while in download mode
rebooted and took OTA update a few days ago
now i tried to flash multiple versions of CWM v6, touch and regular using Odin and everything looks good, it says pass and everything.
when i reboot into recovery mode by holding powerup, home, and power - it takes me into stock recovery still.
its as if the recovery is either not being written to the right place or it is loading from another location on the device. i dont know how to make this issue happen on a phone, ive never seen it happen before myself. which is why i come to the pros seeking help - im no n00b myself, but i certainly am no developer.

now THAT version of CWM worked, dunno why the one's i had worked a couple days ago and now they wouldn't, and even the ones that i downloaded fresh - must have been the wrong versions.
for the record, i did have Odin3 3.07 also, and i tried using that one as well, so it must have needed the newest CWM, which i obviously wasnt downloading. thanks alot mate!

Sure thing. If I were to guess, I'd go with incorrect permissions on recovery.img file. I learned that lesson the hard way.

found what was probably causing the issue too - as you first suspected, but in greater detail on how to avoid this in the future:
"Apparently for those who have ran the official update by samsung are having this issue where the stock recovery is overwriting CWM recovery after reboot. Here is how to fix the issue. Credit to Max from Galaxys3root
You will need to rename or delete these two files.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
I just renamed them. I'm thinking once there is a offical update such as jelly bean that I want to update too ill just rename them back so the stock recovery will reload and allow the update."

Thanks a bunch for that information, I've been trying to get the CWM to stick and was getting extremely frustrated with it reverting after every boot. Deleting these files fixed it and I now have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed and surviving a couple boots. It took a few tries to delete the files, though, finally used ES file explorer and went in to settings to allow root acess.
You wouldn't have had any issues at all if you were using a version of CWM even somewhat recent. Because it prompts you to remove those files.

Right guys, usually I'm quite good a figuring these things out myself but this one has me stuck. I've tried loads of suggestions and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong somewhere.
Basically I've just flashed SlimBean, the Android 4.3 version. When I opened SU it says that there is no SU binary installed and that it can't install them. I researched that error message and I have tried the following.
Re-Root using Odin and CF Autroot. The process worked but I still don't have root access. (I checked that I have root enabled in the developer options)
I read that I need to flash SU v1.51 but I now don't have a custom recovery so can't flash the ZIP. I tried using ROM manager which won't work because I don't have Root access.
I decided that I need to flash a custom recovery so I downloaded one from TeamWin (the TAR/MD5 version for Odin) and tried to flash it with Odin. Unfortunately Odin detects my phone, starts file analysis, then crashes. I decided to try flashing it using Goo Manager. This said that it had worked but when I rebooted I still get the stock Android recovery
I tried to flash a CWM recovery using Odin but again it crashes. I was using Odin v3.07 but I downloaded v3.09 and it still doesn't work.
So I HAVE done some searching and tried to resolve myself but I'm stuck now. I could be missing something simple. Any ideas people?
Settings > Developer Options > Root Access then select Apps and ADB. If you can't see developer options go to about phone and tap 6x version number.

Problem solved. I didn't directly use Framaroot but when searching for it I stumbled across Philz Touch Recovery which actually did flash with Odin (strange why CWM or TWRP wouldn't work with Odin) so you did help indirectly
From there I flashed DrKetan_MultiTool-AromaVxx.zip and got my Root back.

Can you tell me how you did it? I'm fairly new and don't want to brick my phone....again.
I keep having the same trouble with root access as you described and want to give Philz a try.
Thank you bunches!

One thing I have noticed myself, that unless you are Running Probam which has Super SU as it's native Root, then you will encounter this problem. Installing SuperSu on many 4.3 Roms will break root, from what I have read and tested. Use the built in superuser instead. But it is good to know that Philz works.
So until SuperSu is updated, don't use it.

Download Philz touch Recovery and the SuperSu and Busybox flash file. Place the SuperSu/Busybox flash file onto your phone internal or external memory card. Then open up Odin and select Philz file in the PDA section. Put your phone into download mode by holding Power, Volume Down, Home, you will see the menu asking you to go into download mode. Choose yes. Connect your phone and a yellow or blue box will show up in Odin to let you know it's connected.
Leave the boxes with tickmarks and what not. Then click Start and it will flash. It should reboot your phone.
When rebooted turn off phone. Then Hold Power, Volume up and Home button to boot into Philz recovery choose install zip file and navigate to the SuperSu/Busybox file and choose it to flash. Flash file. Optional but always a good idea, wipe cache/dalvik cache after then reboot phone.

I have a t-mobile Galaxy s4 that is rooted and uses TWRP 2.6.3.0. The recovery keeps hanging at the Teamwin Blue screen. I downloaded the flashable TWRP 2.5 which is said to be more stable so can I just flash this with Goo Manager or will I have to remove the TWRP 2.6.3.0 first. If so how can I downgrade
Just flash in twrp like you would a Rom but don't do any wipes
No Boot into revcovery
I flashed the TWRP but when I try to go into recovery it opens to the Samsung screen with the blue writing and then it turns off, vibrates twice and boots normally. I did not wipe as you instructed

Download 2.5.0.2 version tar here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2 click on Get TWRP for your device and type s4 and click on T-Mobile version jfltetmo, you should flash it through Odin. Whenever you flash another recovery to your phone, it replaces the older recovery.
Where did you get the 2.5 twrp? I flash between different versions of twrp and cwm often.

Some people have huge issues with TWRP I know I did. You might want to flash CWM touch. I did and haven't had a problem since. You can easily download and flash from Rom manager. You can get that from play store. It will give you latest version of cwm touch. Easily. It should solve your recovery problems.i know it solved mine. Don't know why some can use twrp and others have nothing but problems with it. I know I couldn't use it.i needed a stable recovery and twrp was NOT stable for me. CWM touch had never given me a problem once..it might be time to give CWM touch a try...it worked out really great for me.

Thanks for the update. I finally got it installed and working. I really appreciate your help
Thank you
thanks for all the help. I finally got it working. I initially got the dl from another link in the help section but when I flashed it I couldnt get into recover so I just followed the instructions and now it works.
I reflashed my recovery partition with CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.6 and the root did not take as I tried to update binaries of the super su and tried also to run Tianium backup but that failed as could not secure root privilege. I was just messing around and went to the wipe data/fatory reset. The data/wipe completed but an Error cam in with "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!" Now the S2 just goes into a reboot loop. I read where you have to add an insecure kernel or something or other. Any ideas?.
I was reading on the forum where I do not need root to load another ROM, which is what I want to do. Fine by me just need someone to point me in the right direction. VI seemed easier than this. lol. actually i want to learn all of the file hierarchy of this android stuff. Thanks in advance.
I fixed it!
Just flashed back to my original via Odin. Thanks for any future suggestions

If I wanted to load my original ROM say from the beginning or the new JB rom as far as the S2 is concerned, does KIES work with CWM?
Also, is the CWM I have a valid one? At the top of my recovery screen says in white fonts, " CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6.

Great, thanks for the reply. working long hours today and will follow the links tonight when I get home. Let you know how it goes. hit the thanks button also. great forum! I will reload the JB. The files are still in the directories by the way, maybe not the one that starts the boot, the CWM zip is still there in the download folder where I put it. And can still perform an install of the zip (CWM) from the CWM recovery, which is all I have now. When I originally installed the CWM, there was that usualy warning that you cannot undo, which is fine. Since I have odin to flash anyway.
Im trying to flash TWRP on my v50020b but cannot seem to do it. Its currently on the stock 4.4.2 GB rom. Please can someone advise me how to do this.
Thank You.
You can use dd to write the aboot.img of 4.2.2 back. This will allow the old Loki flash method.

If you'll go down to the download Step #3 and copy that zip file to your computer and unzip it and run the bat file it will install TWRP v2.7. Of course you'll have to install the LG USB drivers and install from your computer. (Won't work otherwise) Also be sure and use the second down connection for USB on your tablet - M-something, but not the charging one.
Also - get a good reboot app so you won't have to hold the buttons.

You're quoting an old post (way back in April 2014).
1st - Do you have a recovery installed?
2nd - If so, you should update to at least TWRP 2.800
I may be confused about exactly what you are doing...now if you're only booting with the buttons (power-sound down, sound up) that is the message you get and you have to push 'power' 2 times to enter recovery. Are you doing that when you see the display of android recovery after using the cold boot, then the volume and power buttons?? And you are expecting to see TWRP opening, but instead of going straight to TWRP recovery - you're getting what you say 'Android Recovery', or Factory Reset?
Post back so we will understand please. Hope I'm not being confusing in my answers...

I know that is an old post. I was trying to flash the TWRP recovery without any downgrade of the software, since this method was suposed to work with the software version V50020b.
I simply want to flash TWRP recovery, the tablet is all stock with root (TowelRoot), but I just realised that I have to downgrade the software (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58198471&postcount=44), and wanted to avoid this! I already softbricked the tablet with only 3h of usage, and now I'm a little afraid! lol
Do you now any method that works without the downgrade trick?
Thanks.
Flash TWRP with flashify (root) - (from Play Store).
This *should* work & if not I think no harm will come ... Flashify.app just won't 'work' if things are not correct.
Good luck!

This *should* work & if not I think no harm will come ... Flashify.app just won't 'work' if things are not correct.
Good luck!

I did that. That's what softbricked the tablet!

I would shut the tablet completely down.
You should be able to use the 'buttons' to get to 'Factory Reset'. Do what you know: Power/+down then all 3. If you can't get to TWRP, it must not be installed.
Check with a command window. Be sure & use 'su'. Ask a guru 'how'...I may not be 'expert' enough!
