Easiest would be to just flash mrRobinsons root66 fw. Its in development section.
Otherwise, in odin uncheck auto reboot and flash recovery. Then after flashing recovery unplug, hold power till it shuts off, tgen release and immediately press vol up + home + power (be quick). When you see blue text flash at top of the screen release buttons. Now in recovery flash superuser, reboot, and delete/rename these:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Reinstall recovery using rom or goo manager.
Done!

Need Help Getting Out of ClockWorkMod Screen

I'm stuck on the Clockwork Mod recovery screen. Due to an issue detailed here, the gist of which was accidentally installing a kernel designed for the international Galaxy S2, I no longer can use my home and menu keys, and therefore cannot select anything on the Clockwork recovery screen (i.e. "power off"). Removing and replacing the battery just restarts the phone and takes me back to the Clockwork screen. Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
HZ
use vol up and vol down to navigate. Power to select

If so just flash the stock kernel or rom.

flashing stock thru odin worked fine.

Device options power button menu

Is there a mod (without flashing a new rom) that can give me more options when I press my power button..
Things like reboot into recovery?
I'm stock, rooted, and kt kernel but would like to keep my stock rom for now.
Thanks!

Those things require some changes to framework I think. You can install quick boot from the play store and get the same thing though.
Quick Boot does need root access though.
EDIT: Sorry, reread your post and you mentioned you were already rooted. I am rooted using Quick Boot on stock rom and it works great.
Thanks guys! Good enough for now! Wonder if I can program the power button to run quick boot on press?

I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

I'm sure you're right, but while I have you does the toolkit work?

[Q] Help please! Can't boot into twrp recovery

Hi Experts,
I have a sprint note 2. It has recently upgraded to 4.3 and has never been rooted.
I just installed the twrp recovery 2.6.3.1 using odin v3.09. It's passed in odin with no fail. But when I try to boot into twrp recovery by holding (volume up+home+power), It gets into "android system recovery <3e>" all the time. There was a red triangle with a message says "no command" in the center of the screen with an "error" being briefly displayed.
And some text messages at bottom of the screen:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code: SPR
Successfully applied multi-CSC
I also tried to boot by holding "volume up + home + power" and let go the "power" when Samsung logo came up. Still the same.
The phone can reboot to stock rom with no problems.
Please help!!!
Thank you so much
If your phone has never been rooted how do you expect to have custom recovery?

Isn't installing the twrp recovery the first step to root? I'm trying to root, so I installed the twrp recovery using odin.
Restart. Odin back to MK4 stock http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
Use Phillz CWM recovery. You can find it in the development area.
For root on MK4 you don't need a custom recovery. Just use kingoroot after returning to MK4 stock.

As soon as you see 'pass', unplug the phone and take the battery out. But do it quick. Wait 5 seconds, put the battery back and you'll have custom recovery

Flash custom recovery without odin after rooting with cfroot

Is it possible to flash twrp or cwm without odin? I know you can download Rom manager and use it to flash cwm but it wouldn't boot into recovery afterwards just went into a boot loop

I guess I'll go with no which I assumed would be the answer

You can flash TWRP without ODIN if your phone is rooted.
Go to the playstore and download "goomanager" a free app
and click the menu softkey on left side of phone then select
"flash open recovery script".
Then wait til it gets done and when it's done just reboot the phone.
That's the easiest way to do it and TWRP is way better than cwm.
Good luck!
Awesome thank you so much you da best
