I've flash my SGW to RZrecovery but somthings goes wrong after that , i cant get in Android and i've tried many way but still cant restore my backup .
Is there any way that i can restore back the default Recovery mode , coz i wan to do a factory reset....
You mean the stock recovery before you flash RZrecovery? Download a stock ROM/firmware from samfirmware.com and flash it via Odin. Automatically, everything will return into stock, and your phone will be unrooted.
Hope that helps.

I don't use RZrecovery so I cannot confirm this, but to access download mode, turn off your phone. After it's off, hold the VolDown+Home+Power buttons, and release the power button once the exclamation mark appears. Then, press the VolUp button to go to download mode.
You may mess up yourself if you go to recovery mode instead. Don't mix up those modes.

After all the problems i had with my Wifi using ics (arco) i decided to downgrade to stock rom but with the new baseband hoping to solve the prblm. I downgraded according to "the-e"'s guide using ODIN but, i didnt flash stock recovery because i thought i would still have CWM recovery.
Now that i want to root, the "Box" comes up when i reboot but it just restarts and doesnt enter recovery mode~ i have no recovery. I tried using ODIN again, but it cant find my phone, it says "please connect phones". Even kies says my phone is incompatible!!?
What do i do?

When using odin you have to put your phone into download mode and then plug it into the pc while opening odin. Do you did that?

I cant enter download mode?! The page comes where i have to press the volume up button but that doesnt bring any reaction. neither does volume down (which is supposed to restart the phone).
download mode is volume down+home dude
maybe reflashing from odin could work?
If not mistaken, we will lost CWM and it may go back to stock recovery if we flash a stock ROM, by the way did you manage to enter into stock recovery?
If yea just download the Zip-file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394 to get root

you should be able to odin this. Tar file goes in the PDA slot of Odin. md5sum 2b781e4515982a6b7d9586cbb3158647
http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5
It is a direct boot to safe CWM recovery. If that doesn't work, we need more info than " flashed the EL29 directboot tar nothing"

When you put the directboot EL29 kernel in the kernel slot and flash it, phone directly boots in CWM.
Did you install mobile odin from the play store OR the thread here on xda? If you installed mobile odin from the thread here on xda, then you ALSO need the flash kernel that is linked in that thread..

Did you do this - Vol up - Vol down - Vol up - Vol down until it says back menu button enabled?
You are in bootloop because that is GB kernel on ICS OS. Your phone running ICS will not boot with a GB recovery which EL29 and EL26 are.
When you are in bootloop, hold down power + Vol up until you are back in CWM. No need to odin anything..

What do u mean by keeping into download mode?
Normally you can go out this mode holding Power boutton and the phone reboots. Or you can remove the battery, press the vol up + home + power and then put back the battery to enter into recovery mode.

Hi, I had a similar problem a day ago, I corupted CWM and couldn't boot into android, When i started my phone a samsung logo appeared and then black screen, I could access download mode ( Power button, Volume - and home button ) So all you do after you enter download mode is download Odin multi downloader, and a flashable ClockworkMOD recovery, ( PM me if you want links ) and flash it into the phone, after that just reboot the phone and you will be just fine.
Press the Thanks button if i helped

Hey,
First put your phone into download mode and plug it in to your PC and make sure Odin recognizes it, then add Ancora.ops in the OPS window and the recovery.tar.md5 in the One package window. Also make sure that One package , Auto reboot and Protect OPS are checked, you should uncheck reset time because i've hear that it is causing some problems. Then just click the " Start " button and sit back, you phone will be back on in few minutes.
Just a question : Did you have any android installed when you corrupted the recovery? If yes, after you flashed the recovery the phone will reboot and will boot into android, if not then just flash the rom file if you already have one in your sdcard/internal storage.
Your phone is soft-bricked, don't worry, it will be back and running again :laugh:
I just corrupted my recovery on my phone on purpose to try if the cwm recovery works. And yes, it worked, so it should work on your phone too.
Good luck flashing your recovery, Please answer back because I want to know if this method worked.
Here are the files, just extract the rar file
Finally i have KitKat!!
Finally Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After long days and hundred tries, it works finally. The story is as below:
1- I failed to download the CWM 6.0.4.5 directly in this state using ODIN,
2- I downloaded the stock (Yes old 2.3.6 ginger bread ROM) using ODIN. However this version keep rebooting and never completed the start up.
3- With ROM installed now (even it's not booting), i tried to download older version of CWM using ODIN (CWM 5.0.4). It was successful!!
4- I tried to do the restore for my old system, but it failed as i did backup with newer version.
5- I flashed Monster ROM (4.2.2), it works wonderful.
6- I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.5 finally using ODIN.
7- Now i'm using 4.4.2 on my mobile finally.
Advice: Never do a flashing to your mobile when you are not fully concentrating what you are doing. Also, make sure to download the right tool and ROM for your device.
Thank you for everyone who tried to help me.
