Hi all,
I have the latest CWM Touch currently installed. For future reference and needs, I would like to be able to flash back to this easily using ODIN. However, the recovery comes in an IMG file, which I don't think I can flash in either CWM or ODIN. So how do I convert or find a flashable TAR for use in ODIN?
Thanks!
Well an 'inside question,' how did you flash / install your current cwm, and why wouldn't you be able to use the same method of installation?

That, and what that app does is basically the following
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/download/cwm-d2spr.img of=/dev/block/mmblkp018"
"if" means "in file" and "of" means "out file", or in this case the location of the recovery partition

Another way, if you have installed ROM and want to update CWM can use this tool:
- Google play app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unstableapps.cwmrtouchinstaller
- Download older version: http://d-h.st/esM or http://d-h.st/M1y

*Required: SuperUser (ROOT access)
1. Download recovery version from here (img type): http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager/ and save to your sdcard or any folder easy to browse.
2. Install CWMR Touch Installer
3. Open app you will see FLash from other.... Choose that option and browse to your recovery.img file.
4. When flash finish. You can use reboot to recovery option on menu and see result

OKay. Thank you! I will be copy your post to 1st topic.
You just flash the zip through CWM recovery like normal? I don't own this phone, I'm trying to upgrade my father in law's phone. I'm just trying to figure this all out before messing with his phone. I do NOT want to use Odin because I don't trust third party flashing utilities (have had bad luck in the past, particularly with Odin).
how do you go about doing it manually? I understand that the SGS2 doesn't have fastboot so something like
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
???

I am aware. I had to download it from the official Samsung site when i flashed my father in laws phone the first time. But i am a mac/linux user. Odin is not a good solution because it complicates a process that should be really straightforward, eg
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
By third party software i mean not part of the android sdk. Odin is proprietary closed source and only works on Windows with a select few samsung phones, whereas fastboot is intended to be universally accessible.
But back to my initial question, do you just flash the. Zip in recovery like normal?

Using adb shell or terminal emulator:

#! please note the [xxx] should be which ever # twrp .img you choose to use
Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!

Have you tried installing the .tard.md5 posted in the OP, it should work through Odin.
Edit: I've tested the files and Odin crashes.
Has anyone had luck installing the .tar.md5 files, there's a bunch of downloads but no feedback.

I made and tested this one and it worked. I think the problem is that you have to rename the img file to recovery.img before making the tar file. Let me know if it works for you.

how did u make the .tar file out of the .tar.md5 file ?
How does one backup the existing stock recovery, before installing Clockwork or whatever other custom recovery you have?
I'm assuming you can't use Download mode, because that's just one direction, from computer to cell.
Could you maybe use a program like Root Explorer to copy the stock files to the SD card?
If this is possible, how would you package it into a tar suitable for Odin later on?
Thanks guys!

So if I extract recovery.img from Samsung's tar.md5 package, can I just use Odin to load the .img into the cell, or do I need to add a script to it?
Hi I have been trying to install CWM Recovery on my phone through it's app through the play store. I have installed the recovery (It has said in the app) but when I boot into recovery it boots into default recovery. I am running Jelly Bean and my software version is GB28. I have also tried mobile ODIN but it says my device is unsupported, when I generate a dump file it still does not work. Help would be appreciated thanks

You can't do it that way. If you want CWM, you have to flash a ROM with that recovery attached to it. CM11 nightlies, Commotio, Vanir, Liquid Smooth, PAC ROM all have CWM recovery. That is the only way you can have that on this phone.

Use Mobile Odin to flash the GB27 repack with Agat's recovery, or one of Agat's kernels (either 1.3 or 1.42f).
This is of course assuming you're already rooted and have Busybox installed.
Also keep in mind that on this device, recovery comes bundled with kernel. And flashing a KitKat ROM will probably require a little more reading [emoji6]

You should be able to ODIN flash TWRP then you will need to flash a custom kernel to get root, and flash Superuser.
I have not tried it yet though, so I have not verified if it works or not.
I tried flash clean rom via odin, fully bootup, reboot to download, installed TWRP recovery, then flashed superuser.zip. Bootloop.
There was this other article on the net about the 910C saying they got 5.1.1 but you have to flash back your booloader to 5.0.1.

Ripped the BL/CP parts straight from the firmware.
Since I assume none of you want to exactly download a 1.84GB file for just a bootloader and modem upgrade (why would you go back to stock), here are the BL/CP parts!

[DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU NEED TO REPARTITION YOUR PARTITION TABLE, OR YOU'RE IN A BAD BRICK.]
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960684492
INSTALLING THESE FILES
1. Load phone in download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
2. Open ODIN3 on your computer. (Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed.)
3. Load the booloader file in BL.
3a. Load the modem file in CP.
4. Hit the start button, and let the files flash.
5. If there are no error messages in the log portion of ODIN3, then you have successfully flashed and upgraded to the 5.1.1 bootloader.
NOTE: At this time, you CANNOT downgrade from the 5.1.1 bootloader, so take caution.
