You can't flash roms using the stock recovery, only custom recoveries allow it... you'll need to install a custom recovery to install any custom roms

Was just checking out mobile odin... that won't work huh?

Not for flashing custom roms.... that's inky for .tar not .zip files... if you want a custom Rom you will have to install a custom recovery, no way around it

Sounds good. U suggest a certain one?

Either one is fine, but imo, twrp is much nice and the recent update has made it even better... you can download goo manager and install it from there.. just download goo manager from play store and hit the menu button and choose install open script recovery.. then boot straight into recovery and install the Rom of your choice... ( I say boot straight into recovery because I don't know how you rooted your phone and Samsung has a script that reinstalls the stock recovery when you reboot, so make sure you have a rim downloaded and ready to go before installing the recovery)

Nice! Thanks so much for ur help!

[Q] HELP! TWRP and CWM installed at the same time!

So I did something silly a while back and I've yet to be able to fix it. When I first rooted my phone I flashed TWRP and all was well. Then a while later, forgetting that I had TWRP, I installed CWM through RomManager. So now I have two recovery partitions and I'm unsure of how to fix this issue. I would ideally like to only use CWM. Has anyone had this problem? Can someone give me some advice on how to fix it? Any and all help would be appreciated

One will overwrite the other. Why do you think you have two recovery partitions ?

If I reboot from RomManager I get dumped into CWM, but if I reboot manually and enter recovery it's TWRP.

You could try uninstall rom manager and then install goo manager and flash TWPR again. Then use goo manager to boot into recovery and see where it sends you
A way that would work for sure would be to just flash back to stock with Odin, using the pre rooted rom

I just got goo manager last night (I've been running AOKP) so perhaps that is the route I'll take initially. I'd like to avoid flashing back to stock if possible as it would be a lot of work to get rid of one partition. I suppose it won't hurt anything if I just use one of the recoveries exclusively.
EDIT: Rebooting with goo manager dumps me into CWM. So does rebooting into recovery manually so it seems that you were correct. I don't know what the hell the deal was earlier. Must've been a hiccup or I'm an idiot. Thanks hednik!

I have the same issue only I would like to keep TWRP and lose CWM how do I uninstall? Thanks in advance

Re-install the stock rom via-odin, it will reset you're root and reflash the old recovery. Then restore you're root and reflash you're recovery (TWRP recommended).
Edit: BUT FIRST REVERT TO STOCK

[Q] Rooted, but not rooted? Need help...

Ive searched the similar thread suggestions and my issue seems to be different...
**BACKSTORY** So I have the sgh-I317...I rooted it a while back and had JellyBEANSTALK 4.2.2 running on it for a while...phone started randomly not waking up from being locked every once in a while so I flashed back to my stock JB 4.1.2 image i had made and flashed the counter so i could take it in to ATT...since flashing back to 4.1.2 I have not had that issue so i am assuming it was something with the ROM
**PRESENT TIME** I decided I wanted to re-root and try CleanROM out...so I got all the necessary stuff I needed (correct drivers and CF Auto Root), followed directions to a T, everything passed, phone rebooted, etc. When i try and use root checker, it just 'searches'...I dont get a 'Not rooted' message or anything...tried installing titanium backup pro root; it installs but when i open it it just says its looking for root access and stays on that screen...ALSO, i do not have SuperSU in my applications but if I go into the Application Manager, SuperSU is there...I also have cwm recovery as well...so its like it partially rooted? Im at a loss right now...anyone have any ideas? Thanks!:good:

CWM Help!

I'm rooted on stock 4.1 but i didn't have a custom recovery so I flashed cwm rom manager. I was able to make a nandroid backup fine but when I tried rebooting in to the recovery, it would just take me to stock recovery. How do I fix this? Thanks, in advance!

For some phones, it seems Rom manager doesn't flash the recovery properly. Just like Goomanager, for me, will not flash TWRP at all. I prefer to flash it using MSkips Toolbox or ODIN by itself if you know how. If you use the toolbox, it will be an older version of CWM, but after you flash the older version and make sure it works by rebooting your phone into recovery, then you can flash the newest version of either CWM or TWRP in ZIP format HERE. ODIN can be tricky for some who've never used it before. The Toolbox automates this process for you.

Thanks for the help! I didn't know about goomanager until you mentioned it, and it happened to work perfectly for me so I don't have to go through all the trouble

If you prefer CWM, give Philz Touch a try, it is a very advanced version of CWM, and works great for a lot of users, myself included. There are flashable .zip files for Philz and CWM, if you install both on your SD card there is no harm in switching to Philz in order to check it out, you can then easily flash back to CWM if you want.

P.S. Knowing how to use Odin is a valuable skill, nothing wrong with having an app perform a task like installing a custom recovery as long as you also know the more "nuts and bolts" approach.

The CWM you flashed is a temporary one.
When you restart the phone into recovery, it goes into the original Samsung recovery, right? If so, then just re-flash the CWM. You'll need to do this every time to go into CWM.

yeah i'm know that, but when im enter CWM not loaded, what version do you use ? give me please

I use the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
(that thread says version 6.0.2.8, but when I run it it says 6.0.4.5)
I do not understand what you mean by "when im enter CWM not loaded". You need to flash the zip every time you want to run CWM, like you did the first time - somebody should correct me if I'm wrong.

okay i'll try it later
thanks for try to help , problem is when im get in to samsung recovery and flash temporary CWM recovery, it won't loaded, just black screen and then my phone restart.

what ROM do you use ?
when I was in stock MF1 I installed 6.0.2.8 (Shaaan thread, TY BTW) and it was temporary.
Then I flashed CM10.2 which installed me a new version of CWM (6.0.4.6) which is now persistent.
Can you develop a little bit more about your software configuration please ? ROM ? kernel ?

I have a similar problem. After i flashed cm 10.1 recovery dissapeared. I don't have cwm neither stock recovery. Any way to flash it via odin?

backup
flash stock via odin
flash cm10.1/gapps
try again see if recovery is there :/

i know this solution but i can't do the same thing every time i loose cwm because it worked before. Thats why i asked if it is possible to flash only cwm
