Best bet is to just put CWM on the use the zip file to do it

Go to the dev thread and look for the CWM thread and get the tar file and flash that then just use osimood. Based off stock

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593&page=6 here you will find the stock recovery file. You flash it the same way you flashed the custom recovery.

Only if you flash with ODIN.....
If adb, using "dd" command, not necessary.

True but I thought you did not like the "Data Destroying" command?

Of course it can be used, but with care!!!
I agree....
there should always be a warning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
It is jokingly said that dd stands for "disk destroyer", "data destroyer", "death and destruction", or "delete data", since when used for low-level operations on hard disks, a small mistake, such as reversing the if and of (input and output) parameters, could result in the loss of some or all data on a disk.

We already had one poor guy "brick" with "dd" misuse:

I read the forum before as i have made a bookmark of it in my browser. Actually, i'm confused because there's Odin Multi Downloader and the older one, right?
Sorry ,
but why would one want to remove
CWM ? Is there some issue with the software or is it a warrenty thing?
Apart from personal gusto, of course.

Because updating via OTA(OverTheAir) is (yet) only possible with the stock recovery.

sorry guys for this question, but the reason why i want to remove cwm because, if someday i had to sent my phone to the service center i must remove cwm, if they found out, maybe they will decline my phone..
Flash back stock FW...everything will be restored....
What's the point Binary count to show phone is rooted is there as I know Samsung don't bother if you have rooted in Malaysia.....

bro i already have the drivers .... gotta flash something with odin still searching what is it
ur help is appreciated .... there is no shame in not knowing .... teach me plz
What exactly did you flash? Which specific phone was it made for? Is your phone completely non functional currently? can you get into clockworkmod? If you can, assuming you made a backup b4 flashing anything use it.

You can flash your stock recovery/kernel/radio/firmware via Odin through that screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374868
follow the odin tutorial there to get back to your stock firmware via Odin then you can root again or install CWM
next time you decide to mess with your software MAKE SURE ITS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE SPECIFICALLY

You must have searched in a book on your coffee table or something, because you can't go more then half a day without an "ICS OUT YET?" post on here. There is even a semi-long thread called "ICS progress for the samsung SGS2 LTE" sitting right on the first page of this same sub section.
So before you try to be so sarcastic and snappy, use your head.
The Dev section has the roms. Use master and slaves new beginning.

Just got my SGH-T999

I've been researching rooting and installing CWM for awhile on this phone and I think I have it figured out, just let me know if I am out of line.
I found a pre-rooted ODIN image of jellybean from root66. I'm thinking of flashing that first to get root access, then download rom manager and flash CWM recovery.
Just want to make sure I don't brick this expensive phone.
Yes man . You got it right

I was on CWM before but devs lately are recommending TWRP
go to android development thread at top of page read the sticky notes for directions
all versions of CWM work with our t989d
easiest way to install CWM is Rom Manager from the app store
but you must root your phone first
just in case you did not know hope this helped m8

If you are flashing first time
you want the *.tar file
so you can use Odin to flash the recovery

[Q] CW. 6.0.4.3 or TWRP 2.6.3.1

Hi there!
I tried to flash CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 (rom manager) either from the app itself, and with odin. In both cases, the update didn't work. I flash over and over again, but the version stuck at 5.xxxx. Then I tried to flash the TWRP 2.6.3.1, but my phone stuck in a recovery boot loop. Don't worry! I did a nandroid before and been able to flash back my rom. Is anyone has any ideas why I'm not able to flash the update? I'm running dirty unicorn rom, on a samsung sgh-t999v (videotron canada). I try to flash the kitkat update, but I need to do the CWM update first.
Thank you!
