[Q] how to install custom recovery without heimdall\Odin - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My phone is a rooted (via Exynos Abuse) GN7100.
I would like to install custom recovery.
In my previous HTC Desire Z this was dead simple:
Root, install rom manager, tap "flash clockwork mod" and poof we are done.
How do i do this sans-odin\heimdall?
Thanks

I am not sure I understand.
I only want to replace custom recovery, not custom rom.
How do I make sure it doesn't replace the ROM completely ?
It only has "Flash ROMS"

Simply flash it with mobile odin
If you have tar file for cwm, use 'recovery' tab in mobile odin
Or
If you have cwm recovery in flushable zip, use ota/update zip tab in mobile odin to flash

Goo manager asks you to install a custom recovery before it will allow you to flash a rom.

every CM10 based rom gives some sort of error
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att" e:Error in /emmc/cm-9-20120720-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip (status 7)

Yes. Instructions can be found with a quick search.
Download mode -> ODIN to stock -> Put ClockworkMod recovery on SD -> Install CWM using stock recovery -> Happy flashing!

No. You don't use ODIN to flash cm10. Error 7 happens because of outdated recovery. Download ROM manager from the play store, install cwm through it and after its installed ...boot into recovery and flash cm10.

Ok, did it, and got the green pass light on odin and had him go back into recovery and ONCE AGAIN, back into the STOCK recovery.
I'm losing my mind with frustration!
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Also, why doesn't this work?

He rooted it I wasn't there when he did it.
It sure seems rooted it.. Super user is there and I already flashed a rom
But again, every CM10 based rom gives some sort of failure
and his recovery goes back and forth on its own from CWM to stock, its very strange
What recovery version does he have?

The one from goo-manager
Whatever goomanger puts on there.
The problem is, if he loads goo manager, tells it to download the recovery and reboots into recovery the recovery will there.
If he reboots a few times and then goes and reboots into recovery it will revert back into the stock recovery.
WTF!! lol
All you need to do is to install ROM manager from the play store and from it you can install the latest cwm recovery easily.

Yes, we installed Rom manager and when he clicks "flash clockworkmod recovery" he gets an error
I gotta wait till he gets home so he can tell me what the error is again
thanks
Ok I forgot, he doesn't get an error message when he goes to install the clockwork recovery via rom manager, he gets a message that he has to choose a phone and in that list there is no GSIII
which model should he choose ? THANKS
Yea so ok, something is seriously screwed here,
I had him flash the CWM recovery the third on this list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28612095&postcount=558
Had him reboot into recovery and flash that zip, it was successful, I had him reboot into recovery from the touch recovery that we installed from goo-manager and he was indeed in the CWM recovery
Had him reboot the system, then again reboot into recovery from rom manager and sure enough it reboots into the stock android recovery.
Something is seriously wrong here.
I am totally at a loss
It has something to do with the flash counter. Since I'm not sure about it I would have him re root his phone using the toolkit and flash a recovery with the toolkit and see what happens.

Are you trying to root a kies/ota update? Canadian carriers put in an install script that removes custom recovery at every reboot.
Look for install.sh in the root of the phone's file system.

how you planning to flash this CWM zip without CWM already on your phone....are you using TWRP?
If your already rooted go to the play store and get goo.im app and from there install TWRP. In goo reboot to recovery and do a backup, then install the rom of your choice following there instructions. If your not sure do a search on rooting and installing roms.

Help to install Simplistic Control app

I was trying to install the Simplistic Control app but I don't know how to flash the framework zip. I tried via recovery mode. Just selected "apply update from external storage", select the zip files but got the following error:
"E: Signature verification failed"
What's going on?
Thanks in advance!

You need to have cwm or mobile Odin to flash it
For cwm - flash philz recovery then you will able to flash it
Or
Download mobile Odin and use ota/update zip option to flash it.

Sorry for the question, but how can I flash the Philz Recovery? Via Odin?
Could you please indicate me te latest version for the N7100 (Philz Recovery)? I search (and found) but its a little bit complex for me. I just have to make sure.
I have the stock rom already rooted.
Tks.

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

Uncheck auto reboot in Odin. Once the flashing process finishes, remove battery, put it back and press volume up+home+power. It will boot to CWM
