You can't flash a recovery because you need to have a recovery to flash something.
You need to push the recovery onto your phone using adb.

how u do that
Are you rooted? If not first root your time phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29713944
Then connect your phone to PC and mark USB debuging under setting/development. After that just run install.bat file from in the CWM file you downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37462686

Hi,i accidentally formatted my system through CWM. This caused my phone to hard reset everytime i reboot the phone and i cant download anything from play store.
Plus, in storage, it shows my internal memory is 0 kb. And i cant flash using flashtool, it shows flash aborted...
Any solution?
On the other hand, will it kill my pjone if i use seus? Im unlockes BL and using custom kernel...

Power off the phone and boot into recovery the normal way. Hold the camera button, volume down, and the Power button.

Looks like you will have to odin back to stock, and reroot then. Looks like you got the MIUI that had the nuked recovery... there is a newer one i thought that had fixed this issue. If you need a tutorial on how to go back to stock you can find that here : Unroot/Unbrick Epic 4g
You can also re-flash recovery via fastboot flasher.Or just try reinstalling recovery the usal way via adb.

Where will he get a copy of the MTD Recovery to flash?
OP, what ROM did you go back to? Did you do this by restoring a nandroid? It looks like to get back to MTD Recovery you will need to Odin back to stock with repartition checked then move forward from there since you can't get into CWM. You can try ROM Manager before you go that route, set it for manual flash override, Epic-MTD and clockwork 3.x.x.x and see if it will get you into cwm. If not Odin is the way to go.

No you cant, there isnt an MTD clockwork mod that you can flash... and you dont use ADB on this phone for recovery... its Odin. Otherwise if he reflashed the Recovery through odin he would brick his phone.
And the moderator beats me to it

epic doesnt support fastboot.
You can flash a boot.img with adb tho. Google "how to flash a boot image with adb" for a tutorial.

I remember seeing a flashable cwm recovery.
That means you can flash the cwm recovery with the stock recovery.
Let me check out with this ....
Please give me the links

Yes you can flash it without cmw, you can use odin instead. After all, even if you flashed it via cwm, you will have to flash cmw again after you successfully flashed your desired rom.
If you want to flash it via cmw, it should be on zip file. Put the zip on your internal memory/sd card. Reboot to cmw and select the zip file. On flashing cmw here's the guide, read it carefully and be sure not to skip anything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128
Its all in there. Hope this helps.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
And btw I suggest root your wonder first using stock recovery, as I have heard there is a problem rooting wonder using cmw.
Anyways, if youre going to flash a rom, root and cmw will be wiped. So you have to root and flash cmw again after flashing a rom. Just an info.

I already root it. But i want to know how to install cwm with or without odin. Because acro said the best way to flash cynagonmod 9 is by cwm. So how do i install cwm on my phone?

You can install cwm recovery via ODIN. I provided the link on my previous post, it will show you how to flash cmw recovery on your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128
Here posted again. All needed files are there. Just read it and dont skip any.
Flashing cmw recovery is like flashing a firmware, just follow the steps and you wont have any problem.
Additional info: Before flashing cmw recovery, be sure to enable usb debugging. System>applications>development>usb debugging. Then you can proceed on flashing.

Yes its the 7105. And we are sure that we used the correct roms and cwm files from the correct section. rom manager also says that cwm is up to date but reboot to recovery doesnt work. it just shuts itself of. even with "adb reboot recovery"
Flash cwm via odin.

Hello guys,
i need to flash the stock recovery, problem is my i8150 is broken, when i plug it in my computer it says Unknown device same in download mode and Odin doesnt detect it. I think that something in the USB is broken. I have the stock recovery.img, is it possible to flash it through CWM?
thanks!

Impossible, you need odin or terminal emulator to flash recovery..

No, but you can try Flashify app to flash it. It´s flashing and backing up kernels and recoveries. Used it to flash TWRP recovery. No Odin nor USB connectiuon needed.
