Hey, if anyhow could help that would be great. I followed ask the instructions to flash Clockwork mod on my t999. Odin recognized phone, i pda'd clockworkmod.tar file, it passed and rebooted. Then i held power up+home+power and entered Android system recovery. Have done a few times and i continue to get Android system recovery. Obviously my phone isn't rooted yet, just got it. Is there an alternate way to get clockwork mod or am i doing something wrong? Thank you, any help is much appreciated...

Ok, i just read the instructions again and it won't be possible to get past step 3 then
1. Copy cwm_superuserv3.0.7.zip
2.power off the phone
3. Bout your phone into clockworkmod
So if you know a way i can root my phone without being clockworkmod, can you paste a link? Because it's telling me i need clockworkmod to root phone....thanks again
Check out MrRobinsons thread in development. Very easy!

Have you installed recent LH2 OTA update? This is a known issue with this update,quite well described here. To root your phone, you should flash CWM with ODIN, then don't let the phone boot normally (by pulling out the battery), then boot in CWM once and flash root. Finally, after booting the phone normally, CWM will be rewritten, but you will have rooted phone. Hope this helps.
There's another really helpful tutorial on rooting without tripping the flash counter. It's stickied around here somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

By the way, it worked perfectly, i suggest though, when in Odin, uncheck auto reboot, so it didn't reboot after it passes, then i just pulled battery out and tried booting in CWM and it worked. Guess you can't let it reboot or you have to do it again. My last question is, do i keep my phone in usb debugging mode with root on stock rom? I had a galaxy s2 and i know some custom roms had to have usb debugging on. Just not sure if stock with root i should or shouldn't. Thanks again, i hit all the thanks meters on this one, was driving me nuts....Jake

I use TRWP is a better recovery for sg3
I flashed CM10 onto my phone a couple weeks ago, everything went smoothly. Today, I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader so that I could receive the stock JellyBean update. Well I download the update, reboot phone into fastboot, attempt to go into recovery and I get the red triangle !. I know this is an issue with the phone apparently not finding a recovery boot but why didn't my reverting to stock reinstall the stock recovery? Does anyone have any guides they suggest to get stock recovery back? (I've found a few but thought I would ask).
Now, this is understandable that my phone can't boot into recovery since I flashed CM recovery onto it and whatnot, but I attempted to boot into recovery on my girlfriends phone (same phone, NEVER BEEN UNLOCKED OR FLASHED) and it can't boot into recovery either... Is something going on here or am I just missing a huge piece of the puzzle? I don't really want to have to flash anything on my girlfriends phone to fix it, she's not into the tinkering and would rather not have her data reset. Any help would be appreciated.
And for the record, I did a search to figure this out but at the very least I can only find solutions for people who have flashed CM or similar and nothing pertaining to the problem my girlfriend's phone has.

It worked, I'm on stock ICS, but I didn't do ANYTHING after booting into ICS again and attempting to install JB and booting into recovery. Did I miss something? How do I "flash recovery"?
Unzip the factory image you get from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Then use fastboot to flash the recovery.
EDIT: red triangle doesn't necessarily mean the recovery is broken. It's just the way it is. If you wish to flash a 3rd party ROM you'll need to flash a 3rd party recovery.

I think you are confusing a few things here. First off, the Android with the red triangle IS the stock recovery main screen. (If you want to flash the update manually, you need CWM -- go into fastboot mode and type: fastboot flash name-of-recovery.img, where name-of-recovery is the recovery that you downloaded and want to flash.) Second, you need the stock recovery for an update to install over-the-air, but you need a custom recovery if you want to flash it manually.

this happened. you installed stock recovery when you reverted, whats the surprise?
and you dont need to relock bootloader to successfully update through ota. seems to me know the op needs to refine his searching skills.

So in the context of my girlfriend's phone where nothing has been done to it in the 4 months she's had it, why would it be giving the recovery error? Also, does flashing the recovery wipe the phone?
It's funny too because I just got the JB OTA but I'd still like to get this figured out.

run the update manually (found on the Update link on efrants sig) through cwm, that should give you a more detailed description of whats going on.
flashing a recovery doesn't wipe the device. unlocking will, btw. its not an error, its the stock recovery!

Alright, I think I got it... so the android with the red ! triangle IS stock recovery? I just remember on my Nexus S being able to boot into recovery and load up a stock .zip update manually without any custom recovery mod. Is this not possible on the Galaxy Nexus then? So what does the stock recovery DO other than sit there and reboot after a minute?

Hello,
I had my phone rooted and on the last stock ICS ROM. I wanted to install CWM so I downloaded the app from the Play store and hit the install recovery button. I chose the Epic 4g as it was the closest device to mine. Now when I go into recovery I get a strange looking recover multi CSC version? Very few choices and whenever I try to flash a zip they always fail authentication. PC Odin does not recognize the phone. What can I do to either get ODIN back or the real CWM? Thanks.

This is good information for others to avoid having problems, honestly.

The funny thing is I can use the phone. It works fine except that since the TAR file of FK09 did not install the modem I have no 3g but do have 4G and WIFI. If I am able to root the phone I should be able to use Mobile Odin again to install the modem file. We shall see.

Only 2 ways to flash a modem are CWM and PC Odin.
If you're already on FK09 try flashing the Rooted nodata version and see if that gets you back where you need to be.
You'll lose CWM but that may not be for too long.
You can always flash one of Agat's CWM repacks for ICS, backup/restore and then flash back the stock FK09 kernel via Odin for now.

I have attached a picture of what the recovery screen looks like on my E4GT. It doesn't matter if I try to update from external sdcard or through ADB Sideload command, everything fails signature verification. Thanks for all of the help so far.

ICS 4.0.4 (FI27?) the stock rooted OTA. I had root so I ended up using Mobile ODIN to flash the KJ09 tar file but it didn't bring the modem so I have no 3g.
I saw something about version 2e not having the signature check. I need to find a properly signed modem.bin or how to downgrade my phone to 2e.
Sorry this seems to be really obvious question, but Did you try flashing a kernel/recovery through mobile Odin?

Unfortunately since I no longer have root I can't use it. Does anyone know if the standard recovery can be downgraded to 2e?

Flashing a one click restore pkg will correct the recovery... which honestly looks like the FJ10 JB engineering build.

ODIN will not see the phone when it is in the standard recovery screen. I can ADB to it but 3e has signature verification and none of the files I have downloaded have proper signatures so they all fail.

I appreciate everyone's attempts at helping me so I will lay out where my phone is at this momen:
ODIN recovery no longer exists on my phone. When I hold down vol down+power the phone boots up normally - NO ODIN
The recovery that does come up is the Android Standard Recovery 3e which has signature validation turned on - this makes all of the files fail since they are not properly signed.
I am trying to find a way to downgrade the Standard recovery to 2e (no signature verification) or see if signature verification can be turned off in 3e.
I am hoping that getting any of the official Sprint update files might help as those should be signed.
Thanks in advance to all.

Thanks for the update.
1) Any luck with a USB jig?
2) Any luck trying 'reboot download' from ADB and seeing if that will get you to ODIN?
If memory serves.. and you're really stuck on recovery as the only option you're going to need to find a way to dump an update.zip onto the phone to get anything to flash. And here's the tricky part - I think it needs to be in a certain location. There are custom .ZIPs that have signatures on them - crawj might even be able to help with that.
If we can't get you to Odin then let's figure out how you can use the recovery to do that... recover. But let's hope we can find you a way to get into Odin one way or another.

1. I don't know what the USB jig is, where can i find info on that?
2. I have tried that from ADB and it simply reboots the phone into the OS. Seems there is no ODIN to be found on the phone.
Where would I find signed Zip files to try to restore to FI27? Thanks.

Wait... You can get into the system?
Then why not download the Mobile Odin Lite (free here on XDA), flash Agat's 0.6.0 repack and then crawj's FI27 rooted .ZIP through Agat's recovery?
That should not only fix the Odin problem but everything else!

Tried that, Mobile Odin won't work because I don't have root.
I rooted my friend's Note-2 using ODIN awhile back, then installed TWRP recovery. He's been getting the message to update, it will go through the entire process, but when booting to recovery, it obviously goes to TWRP. After rebooting from that, he gets the message that the update didn't install. I've tried flashing an update.zip from a fellow member and it fails. So, what's the best way to get his to update? If I need to remove TWRP, how do I do that? If I need to unroot, how do I do that to and have stock recovery? All help is appreciated.

I'm totally boggled here, I've never had problems like this. I've rooted my T-999, no problems there, but when I install CWM, either the non-touch or touch versions, it doesn't boot into that recovery. When you recovery boot, either manual or through ROM Manager, it just boots to the stock recovery. I've tried re-installing through ROM Manager and through Odin, to no avail. I'm pulling my hair out...help!
Just use the the root 66 method and then use goomanager to install twrp recovery. Did this process for my brothers S III last night over the phone.
I had the same problem before. Tried multiple ways but the cwm recovery will not stick, even though it appears working in Odin. Only way I got cwm recovery to install is by going back to an earlier version os.
You need to find an earlier version of factory stock jelly bean or better yet ics and flash it with Odin. Make sure it's a factory image. After that just root and install cwm recovery with Galaxy s3 toolkit. Then just install whatever rom you like.

Why do all that when you can flash the latest through ODIN; and get the correct partition tables setup, and that has root, and then install the recovery via an app? Seems more logical to me.

I was not aware you can install the recovery through an app. I'm not familiar with the process so maybe you can talk the op through it.
When I had my problem with the cwm recovery not sticking from Odin, it was when the jelly bean update was just release for T-Mobile. Just letting the op know that I had the same problem and how I got it working.

Okay I thought I was missing something. Ya the new update surprised me as well last night with ODIN not working to flash a recovery. It's available in CWM app ROM manager I prefer TWRP though which is available in GooManager via menu>Install OpenRecoveryScript>yes> so long as it says "2.4.1.0" and "D2TMO" then yes and boot recovery to install from there.
I followed mt3g's advice and did the root66 method and then installed via ROM Manager and I had success. Flashing a new ROM now. Thanks!
Cool bro.
