No recovery - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use odin mobile to flash update / zip files. I recently tried to enter recovery to flash redpill kernel but phone failed to go into recovery. It ends up in a bootloop. I can use 3 button combo to get into download mode which I then flash cf-root file which brings my phone out of the bootloop.. I have downloaded recovery manager pro which says it has downloaded cwm recovery and flashed it but then it still tells me "no recovery installed"... just cant seem to sort it and im paranoid about boiting into recovery now as I always seem to get stuck in this bootloop. Below is my current rom etc setup.

read what I put, not what you think I put.....

If you want stock recovery flash this

If you need CWM, flash this

you have to flash for PDA tab in odin with device in download mode

So this has to be done using ondin on pc not mobile odin...

You can use Mobile odin too, you have to select file for 'recovery' in mob odin

Sorted it now. Flashed it through odin from my pc.. now I can boot into cwm.. still when I load up recovery manager pro its still said cwm recovery not installed so I have just deleted the app..

Try to install some custom rom through odin.
Do a factory reset after flashing

I only have .zip files of custom roms, to flash it doesn't it have to be a .tar file?
-edit-
I'm a noob at flashing, the only "type" of flashing i know is to load GIO_v1.0 at OPS and loading the .tar file (related to stock vodafone rom) at the One Package Option. If I do that it stucks to stock rom only as you know.
Sometimes after wipe phone stops on android logo i dont no why, other idea is you didnt format system to ext4 before flashing.
try to reinstall and don't forget to wipe data/chace

[Q] Odin hanging..how long is too long?

Hey guys,
I just got my phone back from repair (broken power button) and I want to get back onto CM10. I went about my usual flashing business, flashing the CWM 5.0.27 ODIN tar, then I usually flash a CM ROM to install root and change my target from SGH-T989D to SGH-T989. That enables me to install GooManager and flash TWRP. Unfortunately, my phone was stuck at the CM splash screen for a good 10 minutes, after having installed sk8erwitskill's CWM Touch (latest version, 1/11/2013) so I tried a reflash and it didn't work. I then reflashed CWM 5.0.27 and flash from there, and it still got stuck at the splash screen. I then went back into Download Mode, launched ODIN, and proceeded to flash the stock Telus tar to begin from scratch.. This is where my issues lies. Usually the Tar will take a little while, but slowly the progress bar moves along. This time though, it isn't moving:

I know that you aren't supposed to pull the battery or unplug the phone during Odin flashes, but I don't think it's even doing anything anymore..
What are my options?
TIA!
Nevermind, I did the riskiest possible thing and I pulled the plug, and tried on another computer. Way too stressful!!
Mods, please delete, thanks!

[Q] Help, TWRP and CWM somehow installed at the same time. can't boot into phone OS

So, I attempted to install Cyanogenmod via the installer, it didn't work. So manually, I went and looked up a tutorial and it said to install TWRP because cyanogen wasn't working for me. I installed that and I booted into recovery. It opened CWM, weird. So I try to start the phone, it boots into TWRP. eventually I attempt to install Cyanogen to see where it gets me, I install it and when I boot it does nothing. you see samsung logo then blackness. I am assuming because TWRP didn't get removed from it. I can still access recovery and download mode. What to do next Also flashing with odin did not fix it.
Flash a different ROM in recovery or the stock tar with Odin. Those are your only options. I also highly recommend Philz Recovery.

Do you think that it's TWRP stopping it from starting?

Find 7 Can't install Working Recovery

SOLVED
I had to flash the recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/help/recovery-unbrick-t3199938 This recovery worked and my problem is fixed.
I am trying to return my Find 7 to the stock recovery so I can reinstall ColorOS. My problem is that no recovery that I try works upon flashing. I have tried both the stock coloros recovery and twrp, and both of them have issues that don't allow me to continue.
When I flash the TWRP recovery, I get stuck in bootloop. It doesn't attempt to enter TWRP, it just tries to boot as normal. I have wiped the system and all data trying to fix the problem, so there is no OS to boot into, leading me to be stuck on an infinite Oppo logo. (I have tried to enter twrp through power+volumedown and fastboot boot twrp.img, both give me the same result)
When I flash the ColorOs recovery I can boot into it but I get a very weird interface glitch. The recovery only is shown on the right side of the screen and flashes up and down so that I can't select any options. (I will include an image of this, as it is not explained very well)
I don't know what is wrong or what I can do at this point, I have been trying to fix this for 4+ hours. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate the help.
(This is what is shown when booting into the coloros recovery)
