You need to first root your phone and get superuser in first before you do anything with clockwork mod. You can find out how to root by going to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735561 or if you aren't using tmobile, just do a search on the forums

Yeah, after you odin that you should have rooted your phone. Then you can flash clockwork mod and flash it to go to recovery.

I returned my phone to stock and re-rooted. Once my phone rebooted i download ROM Manager and flashed CWM for the Epic Touch.
I then downloaded Quickboot to boot into recovery but it won't through the app or manually. What am i missing?
I have an SD card installed in the phone. Thanks.

I cant boot into recovery that way or through quickboot. Its like its not installed. I've booted into recovery previously whenbi had this phone rooted so I know how
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Do you HAVE a recovery? If nothing is working, I sure hope you have ADB because that's all I can think of.
connect your phone to your PC
open the command prompt (anywhere is fine, you're not moving files)
run [adb devices]
check for your device. (make sure your phone has "USB Debugging" checked)
run [adb reboot recovery]
That WILL reboot the phone into recovery. If it doesn't, then my only guess will be to flash a recovery into your phone. You can actually try doing that now before ADB, if you want.

I have a Koodo Samsung Galaxy 2x sgh-t989d. running ICS 404 .I have been attempting to root and run a custom mod.CM9
I installed cwm recovery and was able to root, but made a mistake and I dont believe cwm recovery was installed correctly as I was not properly in download mode when I ran odin.
Was able to achieve root, but phone had odd quirk that it would hang on shut down. Had to remove battery.
I installed cm9 but it hung on boot screen animation so i restored but the hang on shut off remained. I then attempted to reinstall CWM recovery again using odin. thinking it didnt install correctly the first time....bad idea
Result: now when I try to access CWM recovery the lines are double spaced and I cant do anything but reboot.
Is there a way to repair the cwm recovery or flash my phone back to stock?
I am a total noob and hope this is the right place for this and would very much appreciate any help I can get.
If you're rooted you can download ROM Manager from Play, it will flash CWM for you.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately No I had tried to restore to factory because of the hanging on shutdown so I am stuck with the phone unrooted. I can access the CWM recovery folders via the sd card, so its really a matter of fixing the CWM install without root.
I have noticed that there is a koodo stock signed zip for my phone on this site which i have downloaded. Is there a way to flash that onto the phone bypassing CWM.
My phone is still operational and so I am a little afraid of making it worse.
If you can get your phone in download mode and connect to odin the you should be able to restore back to stock rom/recovery and perhaps try the process again..

Yes, I can still get into download mode and hook to odin.
Oddly I installed CWM the first time with odin, in recovery mode I believe, and it installed with an error but it worked.
Reinstalling CWM using odin in download mode is what messed up CWM in the first place, so I was a little afraid to try it again..
I clicked pda and pointed towards recovery.tar.md5 as per instructions that I cant link to yet.
so your saying I should try it again?

I don't know if there is an odin flashable stock koodo rom in the development thread yet. You could need that to do it..
However if you are having problems with cwm there is an odin flashable twrp in the dev thread.. Once you install that you can flash superuser and root your phone.. Or even go back to cwm if you choose to

It doesn't use .tar files and neither does cwm I think what you are referring too is .zip files..
Unless specified you can flash anything in this forum with twrp. Some roms require cwm but once you have a working recovery on your phone you will easily be able to switch from one to the other

CWM is the problem if I boot into recovery mode the menu displays, but is double spaced and unresponsive as if its not loading correctly.

You must be in download mode to use odin.. Otherwise it won't detect your phone...Open odin then Hold Vol down + power the release power once your phone vibrates then connect it to your computer with usb.. Then you should be connected

Ok so I installed TWRP in odin mode as suggested and it worked. Now if I enter bootloader or recovery mode TWRP runs first hurdle cleared. so I will try and flash the new rom now.
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 ?

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.

After rooting the device, did you install a custom recovery? you can download goo manager in the play store and install TWRP recovery and reboot to it. If you already have the recovery installed and cant boot to the recovery then use adb to reboot it. Or another way is download terminal emulator and reboot using command lines from you for...only if you have root.
are you on stock or non stock recovery .. And to get into download mode . As far as i know from a off state hold down vol down and power button . to get into down load mode and its vol up to recovery ..
Not tried on my note but its how it goes on the note 10.1 tablet and other samsung devices i have had

Negative, only stuff I installed after the root was superSU and titanium backup.. both of the paid versions. .. When I power up holding vol+ Home Power instead of any upload option I just get the following
Reboot sys now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Tried wipe data/factory reset to clear the root mod (multi-csc), but basically just wiped my phone of everything else except the root, lol, so at that point I figured I should ask for help..

that is the stock recovery. You need to get root again since u factory reset it. Once u get superSU go to play store and download goo manager to install TWRP or if you prefer CWR then install rom manager.

Done, said it might reboot, nothing happened though. So from here what should I expect or encounter? Is there more I need to do....or should I be able to follow all the standard go by's to rom flashing? Appreciate all the help by the way from you folks..:thumbup:

reboot again and hold vol up home and power until samsung appears then let go of power, but still hold home and vol up until recovery comes up. from there you can select to install zip ,which would be your rom. make sure to do a clean install (factory data wipe, wipe cache) Then use the instructions the op has up from where you downloaded the rom. should be good to go.

I'll tackle that when I get home from work in an hour and have a computer to post on, just in case. Xda is blocked here at work ...damn government firewalls:thumbdown: Do I still keep the rom zipped when I transfer it to the phone if I'm using goo manager as compared to Odin. ..?

Will do, so should I download roms to my desktop and transfer them using Kies, or is it better to download directly to the phone. .. just looking for advice..

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
