Okay, I'm not sure what's going on with my phone this time, but... I was assuming that whatever I used to flash my phone to the EL29, I figured it came with recovery. I thought whenever you Root your phone, you automatically get the recovery app. Well, for some reason, I don't think my phone has recovery on it.
(my battery is full)
I tried to go to recovery.
By doing volume up + power. It goes to the Android System Recovery <3e>
It says "E: update file is backed up: Reportedted
#MANUAL MODE#
--Updating application...
Installing Apks.
Successfully updated application."
So I click on reboot & then it says E: file is written... Update success
Then my phone reboots, and when it comes back on, my battery is completely dead.
Then I keep getting a pop-up that says Attention : no firmware update is available.
I use different apps, that say that my phone has root access, so that's why I assumed I was rooted.
But I don't know what's going on.
is there a different way to get into recovery? Am I doing it wrong? Do I not have the recovery on my phone??
Anyone help me out with any of this, I would really appreciate your input. Thanks

You only have stock recovery, it can only flash official signed files from Samsung/sprint you need to use the autoroot package from sfhub to put either cwm or rogue recovery on, look at the stickies in the dev forum you will find detailed information to help you achieve this

Root and Custom Recovery are 2 separate things. You can have one without the other. If you flash custom recovery in Odin, you'll get the yellow triangle and increase your flash count. There are ways to reset, including USB jig and upgrading to ICS and using Triangle Away. The pre-rooted ODIN OneClick packages give you root, but flash stock recovery so you won't get the yellow triangle nor increase your flash count. Then if you want CWM, you can just use the Auto Root package to install it.
Whenever you boot into stock recovery it tries to install the pre-installed Sprint apps and then when you boot into the first time after going to stock recovery, it searches for firmware. That is just the way they made it work.
I don't know how you initially got EL29.
If you still have root access, the Auto Root sticky can install CWM pretty easily. Just choose Option C and install EL29+CWM-Rogue
If you don't have root access, you can flash the EL29 ODIN OneClick. The link is available in the Auto Root sticky. Choose the NoData version which won't reset any of your Android User Data.

Alright I used the autoroot method from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Now I'm the late adopting noob here but I tried to flash CWM from their rom manager application and after selecting my model it claims it was successful. If you try to boot into recovery it does the normal one. If you try to reboot into recovery from rom manager it gets stuck at the android dude with the exclamation after a short loading bar.
I have watched a couple videos about using ODIN and all. But I was trying to do this without changing anything. If I have to thats cool as it seems there are some stock repacked roms that would be comfortable to someone new like myself.
Phone is currently rooted, EK02. The only thing I ran into was some talk by the Galaxy Nexus rooters saying something about renaming/deleting a file. Most of the things I run into no one ever says how they fixed it just that they did.
Can you just revert back to factory condition (using the same script you used to root and install CWM) and then try again? Or does it produce the same error?

When you say "rom manager" are you talking about the Auto Root package or some other application? I'm thinking some other application because you mentioned "reboot into recovery from rom manager"
All you needed to do to get CWM was, after rooting with Option A, choose Option C and install EK02+CWM.
If you are now asking how to get back to something working, you can ODIN one of the factory restores.
This is my question:what install program should i use for putting cwm on my phone,odin has more options and is more dynamic in it's functions,while e4gauto is simply for recovery placement,yet i never hear(read)anyone speak of it?Can someone give me some info.thanks

Well it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish and whether you're on ICS our GB.
i say go with ODIN
mainly just for installing cwm recovery on gb,since the majority of rom flash directions are coming from el 26 w/cwm....

but why is my question if all your doing is installing cwm....why does no one ever use it?odin has more functions?
If you flash a kernel not signed by samsung using ODIN, it will trigger yellow triangle and increase the flash count (which can be reset using USB jig, or if you are on ICS, using triangle away)
Auto Root (e4gtauto) and Mobile ODIN flash the kernel through a different method which does not trigger the yellow triangle nor increase the ODIN flash count)
If you are doing it from PC, Auto Root is pretty simple to use. If you are doing it from phone, use Mobile ODIN. You can treat the Auto Root package as a repository of stock and CWM kernels in that case so you don't need to download them all separately (just open the zip file and look in the copy2sd-img/000root folder)
thank you,
some call it the long way to flash but i always use auto or odin to go stock to flash a rom.i've read those are the most secure ways to do it.
I was able to use Odin1.81 to restore the stock ROM (2.3.4) with root to my S2. Everything was good. Then I wanted to flash CWM Recovery. I tried two methods:
1) Installed ROM Manager from Google Play. Install CWM Recovery from there. Device selected as 'Epic 4G Touch'. This didn't work after reboot. Instead of entering CWM Recovery, the device went to 'Android System Recovery 3e' menu. It seems that Android has some built-in protection system from being flashed.
2) Restored stock ROM again, then flashed CWM Recovery 5 from Odin1.81. Now I could enter CWM Recovery, but I noticed the power on logo changed from "Samsung Galaxy sII" to "Samsung Galaxy sII I9100". A yellow triangle with an exclamation symbol appeared in the center of the screen. This bothered me a lot.
Does anyone know what correct steps should I follow to root my Sprint S2+install CWM Recovery?
Thanks in advance.
For number one. NEVER use rom manager like they brick our phones.
Use sfhubs el29 one click.

Use sfhub's auto root utility or download and flash Agat's safe kernel + recovery (which can be done through ODIN).
Then use Triangle Away to remove the triangle.

OK as was mentioned DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER! Unless you want a pretty paperweight.
Use sfhub's one-click(s) to add stock+root. You can use either the EL29 for GB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 or FF18 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 for ICS.
Then use sfhub's Autoroot to add a CWM recovery [either Rogue for GB or Agat's for ICS] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Find and follow the instructions. They are very detailed and precise.
I would also HIGHLY recommend doing a whole lot of reading. Read the stickies, read the OPs and the follow up posts too. A little time and patience will bring rewards. Haste and carelessness will surely kill your device.
Good luck.
Thank you, daniel4653, garwynn and leaderbuilder. You are all very helpful. I am going to try EL29 and Autoroot script.
Backstory: I successfully rooted and installed CWM following Mr. Robinson's directions, the OTA update came out and I installed it prior to the threads explaining how to keep root, so I'm back to being unrooted on UCLH9. I no longer have CWM working and no root.
I'd like to install CM10, I'd also like to backup my Apps with TiBu first but that's not the end of the world if I didn't. I'm assuming that I could simply follow Mr. Robinson's guide again effectively going back a revision but then I read that if I do so I may screw up TW if I don't factory wipe prior to doing so. I'm under the idea that if I can get CWM back on the G3 I'm good to go but getting it rooted now seems to be the difficult part.
I guess I'm a bit confused as to where I need to start. If I could basically get a step by step of which way to go that would be great.
If you are not worried about tripping the flash counter and using triangle away app (I use it all the time without problems) you can flash this tecovery: http://db.tt/QYcH2jBM with Odin, reboot into recovery and flash superuser. And to reset the flash counter use the triangleaway app.
So I still have Superuser installed from when I rooted previously, if I flash that version of CWM would the SU app I have start working again you think?
Also, so I don't screw this up, could you quick outline the steps in Odin? I assume it's similar to what I've done before, choose PDA mode, Auto Reboot and F.Time checked, select the recovery and flash?
The SU won't work until you update the binary or reflash it.
You got the right steps for Odin.
No love.
I followed this thread using the S3 Toolkit as well but every time I flash CWM I can only get to 3e recovery. From the last few posts in that thread it looks like I'll need to revert back to an older firmware, root, install CWM then flash CM10.
Any issues with simply following Mr. Robinson's guide again and reflashing the older firmware? Should I do a factory reset? Or should I simply wait for a LH9 root injected image?

I had a similar problem in that the wrong recovery appeared, 3e rather than something else. After about the third time (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/), I reread the directions and saw this:
"Q: I keep getting stock Android recovery instead of ClockworkMod Recovery!
A: After rooting, erase /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using ES File Explorer with Root and Write enabled. That will make CWM stick. This is due to newer software versions overwriting your stock recovery on reboot."
I followed the instructions and got CWM with "install from SD card" as an option and I am currently enjoying Slim Bean 2.6 on my i747.
Download http://db.tt/XfHZr7Yh go to Odin uncheck reboot, flash recovery. When reset message appears remove battery. Reinstall battery hold vol up home and power buttons to boot into recovery flash that file it will remove stock recovery, flash SU. This should work.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for that link. Unchecking auto-reboot and pulling the battery was the key! Rooted w/ CWM installed. CM10 here I come! Now all I need to do is decided on nightly or M2 when it drops...
I was able to install custom recovery the first time i rooted my new 4.1.2 device, now after trying dn3 rom and reflashing between different FACTORY firmware flashes from 4.1.1 back to 4.1.2 several times i am unable to install any custom recovery through odin. Also tried using goo manager method for twrp.
Triangle away does not work for me.
I used stock recovery wipe /delete /wipe cache after every single time, with no luck to fix. Every time I try installing cwm or twrp(goo manager) it reboots as if everything is fine but still goes back to stock recovery. My binary count is around 12 now.
Am i doing something wrong?
This is the first time i encountered this. I have a t-mobile t889.
thanks
Do you get error message using odin, are you using the latest odin

Slow down.
Flashing FACTORY Firmwares UN-roots your device.
So you'll need to re-root it. The easier method, since youre using Odin, is to grab one of the Root Injected Firmwares found in the Developmet thread (its pinned. Find Mr.Robinsons Thread)
Once its successful you can flash the recovery and clear your counts.
