Can't boot into CWM recovery anymore - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys, I tried to install the TWRP recovery image in order to install a CM ROM but have had no luck with installing the ROM. Now I'm not able to boot into my clockword mod recovery, could you tell me what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks

Try this out, see if it works, it worked for me for both cwm and twrp:

Cant reboot into custom recovery!

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser.
But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery.
I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont.
Why is this happening ?
Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .
Thanks in advance

Since you already have superuser. Why not install via Rom manager or install twrp
Recovery doesn't stick for some weird reason when flashing through Odin on that firmware

Reinstall recovery with rom or goo manager and reboot recovery.

Thats weird...so you can reboot into custom recovery a few times and eventually it goes back to stock? Or can you only boot custom once then it reverts?
First, look for these files and if there, delete or rename them.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Then reinstall recovery and see if it works now.
If theyre not there, good!....well maybe!
Have you tried any other method of installing recovery?
Try using my favorite tool, Mobile Odin.
Free lite version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
(Dont forget to download the flash kernel further down the page)
Or buy full version on play store.
Download twrp here:
http://d-h.st/pNQ
Rename to recovery.img
Open Mobile Odin and tap Recovery and select that file.
Do not wipe.
Tap and confirm Flash Firmware.
Let me know how that goes.

First of all.
Is your phone rooted, and do you have CWM recovery installed on your phone?
At the moment it isn't rooted and CWM.
root, install CWM, install rom

Yes its the 7105. And we are sure that we used the correct roms and cwm files from the correct section. rom manager also says that cwm is up to date but reboot to recovery doesnt work. it just shuts itself of. even with "adb reboot recovery"
Flash cwm via odin.

Upgrading recovery

I'm currently on cwm non touch recovery an want to upgrade. I'm not sure which one I should upgrade but I see a lot of devs suggest twrp touch recovery so I guess that one. Do I just download the recovery an flash it on cwm? An when I do have it installed how do I flash ROMs do I just select the ROM an the recovery will clear caches? Or do I have to flash another zip before like with cwm I flashed the super wipes?

To flash TWRP you to get Goo Manager from the play store.
Open it up and click on "flash rom"... it will ask you if you want it to find you one. Select that option.
It will then say it will DL TWRP. Once it is done with the DL it will flash TWRP to your phone.
And bam....your in the latest TWRP

Thanks!!!!! I did it already. When I'm going to flash a new ROM what do I have to do? On cwm der was the superwipe zip I had to flash before is it the same on twrp?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Dont use super wipe. Not good with TWRP.
Do a full backup first of your current rom. Do a complete wipe. When you hit the wipe option it will tell you all that it will wipe.
Next hit install from the main menu...choose you zip for your rom. Let it do its thing then reboot system.
All done

Installing twrp now, but would it conflict with my old cwm? Or does it get deleted?

you will lose cwm an gain twrp any backups you did will still be there in the cwm folder but you won't be able to use them cause twrp isn't compatible with cwm I have my stock rom backup in cwm folder for safe keeping just incase

Ok so I don't need to remove it, and recovery mode is now controlled by twrp? I'm making a fresh backup now anyway, better safe than sorry.

install a custom rom via sideload?

Ok so I was crazy enough to try the recent update on my rooted G Pro. It got stuck in recovery loop of course. Is there a ay to load a custom rom with out having to have a CWM recovery?
Hopefully I didn't confuse anybody.
Thanks in advance.
No you need to have cwm, twrp or phills cwm to flash custom roms. Adb sideload is available through these recoveries.
