What i did first was flash a rooted kernel with Odin .
Odin:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
Kernels :http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II/SPH-D710/Kernels i like Team Rogues Kernels
Now that your rooted boot into recover by holding volume up + power at the same time and make a backup of your current Rom
Then i just followed the install guide for whatever Rom i was flashing .
I like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578880 rom because everthings working and it is updated all the time

sweeeeet thaanks again man
so its safe to flash el26 kernal on a el29 rom??
edit: im also not rooted

What Rom do you plan on flashing first ? Some require you to flash a certain kernel for their Rom .
But it should be ok for you to flash any recovery for your first one to make a back up.

Either. I do mobile. Flash the el26 tar and it will reboot. Hold power + volume up till you get to cwm. Then wipe and flash new rom per instructions of it's op. Good luck.
Edit: most ics roms don't include a custom recovery for a reason. Always Odin to el26 first, it's the safest way right now.

My man, there really is no further explanation here. Honestly, if you can't figure out what to do with those instructions or the other 100 threads, you really shouldn't be messing with ics. I know you've already bricked one, don't make another.

The mijjz goodness rom it starts like its wrkn then gives me error mesg plus i have yellow triangle when booting
Try this:
Download the rom on ur PC
Download the el26 kernel w safe cwm (tar version, not zip) on ur pc
Place all on ur external SD card
Use Odin to flash el26 (PDA slot)
If you get a pass from Odin, boot your phone into recovery (right away when phone blue light comes on after successful flash via Odin, or pull the battery and boot to recovery manually if u missed)
Wipe data/cache/dalvik
Flash ROM
Reboot....should be good to go.
And the el26 kernel is easy to find by searching the forums.

Wish I could help you with that. But I can help you with this sound piece of advice, if you manage to get that .zip, DO NOT FLASH IT UNTIL you flash the flash counter removal .zip, so they can't tell you ever rooted/flashed on your phone. After flashing that, than proceed to flash that stock .zip...all the best and good luck to you!
Ask mrx ... he does everything stock he have bases on t989$
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yeah there were like 3 zips... Rom kernel and recovery. You turn just remove the super user after that. If anything you should be fine flashing stock ROM and kernel. No need to go to stock recovery

I can try to make a CWM/TWRP not De-odexed or rooted out of the stock T989 UVLH1 tar file and make a flashable stock recovery, once I get off work.
Edit 1:Uploading Flash-able SGH-T989 UVLH1 stock rom to Dev-host(20 minutes to finish upload) wait for confirmation i need to test it on my device 1st once is done uploading in the mean time i will make flash-able stock recovery and test it also.
Edit 2:Uploading done both rom and recovery, going to download now both and test it.

Ok testing completed, everything works as it should. The ROM zip will update your kernel to stock.
Might need to flash the UVLH1 radio 1st before flashing the stock recovery.
This is how I did it(tested it):
1. install/flash stock ROM 1st.
2. Once installation completed Reboot to custom recovery.
3. install/flash stock recovery.zip.
4. Power off to verified stock recovery.

Agat recovery

Is this really a bad recovery to be using. I always used clockwork on my HTC devices and when i rooted my epic touch i ended up with agat. Would it worth going through the trouble of installing a new recovery to get clockwork?

Sooooo, is it worth keeping or should i go through the trouble of installing clockwork.
And if i use Odin lite and flash the gb kernal with clockwork i can them boot into recovery and flash whatever i want?
And one more thing. I have a usb jig coming in the mail. If i am going to be doing all that should i wait till it comes in in case i need it or is it simple enough that i shouldn't worry.

Agat recovery is good for touchwiz based roms. I have flashed many ICS roms and zips using this recovery.
Regarding your questions if you want to flash a new rom follow the instructions in the OP of that rom, don't over complicate things. I use el26 recovery to flash roms. I load that using Odin from PC.
Its good to remember kernel and recovery are combined with this phone. Keep agat. If you want to go to jellybean get el26 kernel by chris41g. Also remember you will have a new kernel and recovery after you flash something.

I deleted it because it was a stupid question that I should have known the answer to. It was when you recover a nandroid does the recovery and kernel from when you made the android come with it.
My problem was I am and was on king kang and decided to flash a modem. I didn't realize the jb modems were only for tw roms so when I had no data I though I needed to update prl and profile. I flashed a stock rooted rom from repository, it was rooted but didn't mention had no recovery. Odin kept falling when trying to put a new recovery on. And after 5 hours of fail I finally succeed with a one click from repository. After flashing a modem (fi27) I think. I just wanted to make sure I want going to be stuck with no recovery again because that really sucked. I didn't mention this in the original question but all is well now and I'm back on king kang
