No root but success on cwm? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

It doesn't apply the zip file in cwm.. I'm guessing I need a different su? Can anyone post what they used & were successful with?

After odin put the su zip in the root of your sd reboot recovery then flash the zip reboot and su should be in your apps fully working

Hey dvtmg, which root method did you use? Most likely, you have the stock android recovery which will not allow you to do a nandroid backup, or flash roms. You will need a custom recovery (CWM, Rogue, ACS) to begin either of those processes.

If you run auto root I think it's option 3 to add cwm. Not sure though but check it out.

Yes option 3 is for installing CWM only. As far as a rom I would recommend calk's it will give you the features you are looking for.
Thanks

Just flash the twrp recovery file through cwm and it will handle the rest.

You can use Galaxy Note 2 toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956)
Use it to flash back to stock recovery and then use the tool again to flash to cwm.
Thank u guys for all the response. I got it without problems.

Installing a recovery

This may be a dumb question but to install a recovery from goomanager... You have to be rooted right?
I'm stock now and trying to install a custom recovery and then flash roms... Are there any custom recoveries you can install from Odin?

You need root to install custom recoveries also to flash ROMs. You have your choice between twrp and cwm. I know twrp has Odin flashable files on their site. Easy as pie.

Is this the way by flashing a whole new stock rom with root injected? Trying to avoid that if possible.

Bah there a simple way hut trips then flash counter ( which does matter because we can clear the flash counter)
Its just say casual rooting I think. Its intended at&t development section. Its a one click deal basically. You need to be rooted to do anything with odin

how do I delete or uninstall twrp recovery and back to cwm recovery

I need uninstall twrp recovery for my galaxy W. Please help me
I believe you just need to flash CWM on top and it will be replaced.
I recommend adb method.
