Is it possible to flash ROMs on this phone through CWM recovery or do I have to use Odin for everything? I'm so used to CWM flashing...
XDA Premium | GS2 E4GT
Flash zips with CWM and .tars with Odin.

Those are .exe files... They won't work on mobile odin right???
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Mobile Odin says some exe files may work. There's an EG30 factory ROM available, use that and flash EL29. Check the wiki for EG30 Odin.

Then just install the CWM kernel and you are good to go!
Fyi - If you don't like the yellow triangle on boot I'd use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM.

Just an FYI, installing CWM via the Auto Root package in the development sticky also would not trigger the yellow triangle.
Only flashing a kernel/recovery not signed by Samsung using regular ODIN will trigger the yellow triangle.
But wut if I don't have a computer and just want to use mobile odin

What are you trying to accomplish? There's a factory EG30 Tar file for Mobile Odin. It's not rooted but will get you to factory and you can update to EL29 via OTA. If you want to Odin and keep root you'll have to find a rooted ROM tar in one of sfhub's threads. At worst, you'll have to extract individual packets from the exe files or find an individual file in the resource section.

Install EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin. Then flash calkulins rooted EL29 and EL29 modem from CWM.

Alternatively, couldn't he just install the EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin, then restore a GB nandroid if he has one? This would keep him from having to install another rom altogether, and get him back to previous setup

Sure, if there is a nandroid backup that would be quickest to restore rom and user data. Still need to flash the modem as above.

Isn't modem completely independent of ROM and kernel though, so that wouldn't be necessary, unless he really wanted everything back to EL29?

It just depends what you want to restore to. You can run an EL29 ROM with a different modem. If someone says they want to restore back to a previous version, unless they mention otherwise, I give them instructions to restore modem, kernel, and ROM.
I'm trying to flash custom roms to my phone but for som reason it just goes to the little android icon. I'm on EL29 stock root and attempting to flash EL29 custom blazer rom. Anyone else having this issue?
Sounds like you have a stock recovery. Install a custom recovery via sfhub's sticky in the development forum

Here is a link to the stock el26 with cwm. Use odin/mobile odin to flash.

I have EL29 stock rooted. So I can go backwards to EL26? Also I have clockworkmod recovery which is what i'm using to flash custom roms.

Have no idea what you are trying to do. Flash kernel, flash ROM, flash Modem, create backup etc....
The stock E4GT does NOT come with CWM. If you want CWM on the stock ROM you can use EL26 or the EL29 (Rogue too) CWMs.
These can be installed via Mobile Odin or sfhub's Autoroot package.
I suggest you do some really serious reading and then do some more reading about how to mod this phone. Otherwise you will end up with an expensive paperweight.
Best and safest place to start is sfhubs EL29 stock rooted, then use his autoroot package to add EL29+CWM+Rogue recovery.
Also don't user ROM Manager OR a 'touch' recovery - you will brick your phone.
Again please read extensively before you brick your phone.
I have root I'm running aokp I have flashed many roms and what not but I just can't boot into recovery (cwm) without using Odin and flashing kernal first then I can

You have to use odin, mobile odin to flash kernels. In odin you have to hold power and volume down first then volume up to get into download mode.
I know how to get into cwm while using Odin never used mobile Odin but like if I shut my phone off and try to boot into cwm I can't

I guess I'm not understanding you completely. Your definitely booting into stock recovery. How exactly are you flashing the el26 kernel?
Send me a pm and I'll explain more to ya if you thank you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
AOKP and other ICS ROms typically do not include a custom recovery due to the high risk of bricks. That is why you are unable to get back to cwm. Read the OP of the AOKP thread carefully or you will have an expensive paperweight. On AOKP, you have to Odin EL29 with cwm in order to use recovery safely, then flash an AOSP kernel before rebooting to Android.
As stated... if you flashed an ICS ROM/kernel from a GB CWM setup then CWM won't be there. If you're sure it's still installed and just can't get to it then try downloading "QuickBoot" from the market (it's free) and try the "recovery" option.. maybe that'll work.
Even if you're on an ICS ROM and try to get to CWM you should still get to a stock recovery....
So, I flashed CM10 nightly 11/8. Dirty flash over a previous nightly, just cache and dalvik wipe. Now I can't boot to recovery, it just hangs at the cyan boot logo. Was using TWRP and I made sure to click the inject twrp box. Everything else works well and normally, aside from no recovery. I know the correct answer is to odin to stock and start fresh. However, does anybody know of a way to re-flash twrp or clockwork without access to recovery. I would like a quick temp fix for a few days if there is one. Thanks in advance!

U can just use odin to flash cwm. Look for the 5.x version thread for cwm and there's a .tar flashable file somewhere there. Just flash it in odin and you should be good. Since ur already rooted it should stick.

I'm no Odin pro. Do I need the victory pit file too? Also what box do I put the cwm tar ball in? I appreciate the help.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not flash the tar file for cwm, that is bml only... there is no .tar for an mtd recovery for this phone... sorry, but if you lost recovery on mtd, sadly the only way to get it back is to odin to stock...
Word. Thanks for the save. I didn't think of the bml/mtd issue. I guess no short cuts this time. Thanks again guys.

Ya it doesn't work if you're on mtd, you'll get error on cwm and can't flash anything, even you flash twrp, you'll get error
One solution..
Odin to stock and odin cwm again
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I think there IS (hopefully) a way of flashing MTD recovery without returning to stock. Maybe... grab a recovery.img from the ROM package, put it in SD card, and go to Terminal Emulator on phone. Then...
Command:
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
This works on my good'ol (sold) G1 and Milestone... but don't know if this works on MTD. Anyway, give it a shot

Well, I ended up Odining back to stock and starting over. After a crappy night of a bad cable and battery CPR, I got it working. I was using TWRP and I suspect that something went wrong in the re-injection process. All is well now. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions

Agat has a repacked kernel with custom recovery/cwm that works. Look for the thread in the dev section and FOLLOW THE INSTALL GUIDE. Oh and read through the whole thread too. I installed from the external sd card via mobile odin and had no issues what so ever

latest is version 0.6.8 . theres a tar and zip file use the tar for Odin. You could mobile odin as well
But you should do what you want to do in recovery and then either Odin or Flash in that recovery STOCK Kernel FK23 for best results.
