Power off the phone and boot into recovery the normal way. Hold the camera button, volume down, and the Power button.

Looks like you will have to odin back to stock, and reroot then. Looks like you got the MIUI that had the nuked recovery... there is a newer one i thought that had fixed this issue. If you need a tutorial on how to go back to stock you can find that here : Unroot/Unbrick Epic 4g

You can also re-flash recovery via fastboot flasher.Or just try reinstalling recovery the usal way via adb.

Where will he get a copy of the MTD Recovery to flash?
OP, what ROM did you go back to? Did you do this by restoring a nandroid? It looks like to get back to MTD Recovery you will need to Odin back to stock with repartition checked then move forward from there since you can't get into CWM. You can try ROM Manager before you go that route, set it for manual flash override, Epic-MTD and clockwork 3.x.x.x and see if it will get you into cwm. If not Odin is the way to go.

No you cant, there isnt an MTD clockwork mod that you can flash... and you dont use ADB on this phone for recovery... its Odin. Otherwise if he reflashed the Recovery through odin he would brick his phone.
And the moderator beats me to it

epic doesnt support fastboot.

You can flash a boot.img with adb tho. Google "how to flash a boot image with adb" for a tutorial.

Note ii won't boot into cwm, only stock recovery

Hello,
I was trying to flash a kernel but after some reboots I noticed that the phone won't boot in cwm but only in the stock recovery. I reflashed cwm through rom manager but nothing happened. I then tried to install twrp but again nothing happened. I was told that I have to delete 2 files inside system to make cwm stick but the files do not exist for a reason. Please help me guys!

You need to flash cwm thru odin it happen with me
Search for cwm.img in google download the file and flash it with odin
It will work

I guess its for N7100 model, right? I just dont want to mess it up again.
Also in odin - no checkboxes should be ticked except "auto-reboot"?

Just click the link and download page will have file description, and I am sure you will find model number of device for which this recovery is.
For Odin
Option remains same as you flashing stock rom
You can find instructions in details on 1st post of 'all in one n7100' on my signature.

I did it, stock recovery running again. I need to get the CMW now. Do I do it in the same way? Only different file?
I see it here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager , but its an img.file...? Am I missing something?

Yes i want CWM.. But as i am rooted already i already have SuperUser.. So do i need to flash that again with busybox?? (dont want to go into bootloop)
And flashing stock recovery wont wipe all my data i hope!!

odin recovery question

I just got a Note 2 and downloaded Odin and a TWRP recovery and tried to flash it but it doesn't say succeed until two minutes later after the phone completely reboots. When I reboot into recovery its still the stock recovery.

Did u root it before you flashed recovery? You didn't mention it. That needs to be done first

Didn't need to. I got it to work. I unchecked auto-reboot and it worked. All I did was flash the TWRP .tar and flash a rom. Rooting first was not needed.

Agreed...
Root is not needed if a user wishes to:
Make a pure stock backup....or current rom backup...
Flash another rom that already contains root...
Recovery is generally only needed for those functions anyway...(that's 90% of my time spent there)...
Everything else is a bonus....courtesy of our generous development team....g

Anyone know where I can get the most recent stock system and stock recovery tars to flash in Odin or what they're called? I have to go back to full stock.

Do I need to restore to stock to go back to touchwiz?

I am trying to go from cm10.1 to a 4.3 ge ROM and for some reason I can flash and get it to work buf once i reboot the phone i get stuck in a boot loop. Ive tried a few different 4.3 roms and always get the the same boot loop after rebooting.
Am i doing something wrong? (wipe/factory reset and format. Then flash rom)

Read around and found that it is twrp giving me problems. Is there a way to flash cwm via twrp?

Yeah. Just use a flashable CWM.zip rather than a Odin flashable .tar.
Also, it's TWRP 2.6 that is casuing problems. TWRP 2.5.2 works fine. You can find the download for that in the TWRP thread in the DEV section. You'll have to search the thread, but it's in there.

Yes, just get the zipped version of CWM, and it should be installable thru TWRP. Flash it the same as anything else.

I cannot find either the cwm zip or twrp 2.5.2

The flashable CWM zip is buried in the CWM development thread, not in the OP. As far as TWRP 2.5.0.2, the Odin flashable tar and .img is here.
