Hi there, just bought a new N7100 and because I'm using Linux mint I decided to root my phone using Exynos Abuse and to be honest this was really simple....Then I installed ROM Mnnager, and set up CWM recovery from within ROM Manager. Now then, CWM has installed but whenever I try to reboot into CWM I just get stock recovery....
Is there a simple method to resolve this problem????
Thank you in advance
Delete the file named recovery restore.p or something via root explorer.

Thank you for your quick reply however I cant locate this 'recovery restore.p' to delete it. I've tried looking in system, sys, root and almost all other folders via Root Explorer cant find it. Any ideas??
Thank you
Download the recovery from cwm site.
If it is in .img format then rename it to recovery.img and flash it via mobile odin.

This is a guide on how to get ClockWorkMod onto your LTE Galaxy Nexus through Rom Manager
Go to market, search "Clockworkmod"
Install Rom Manager*
Open up Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
A pop-up will come up called "Confirm Phone Model," of course choose "Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA"
Now let it install etc, then with a File Manager** with SU access, Go to system, click "Mount R/W"(if using Root Explorer) and then scroll down until you see "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"
Close out off your File Manager and go to Rom Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery"
There you go
You should be able to boot into CWM
* Free version works
**I used Root Explorer

Could be because you are on a custom ROM. I am on Android Revolution HD and I don't see it at all as well. I also can directly boot from ROM Manager directly into CWM. I never touched this file at all and I never looked for it.

Then you would follow the steps in the OP
What are the benefits to doing this final part. Is it necessary? Some say they didn't do this? Now on the Thunderbolt I didn't have to have rom manager installed and I could still boot into recovery. Is this the same? If I rename that file (which is in my system directory) will I be able to boot into cwm at any point?
Thanks I have done everything with the exception to this. Wondering if its necessary?
Edit: I guess I should have waited for a response because I went ahead and followed the steps in the OP and it came up with an android with a red triangle. Pulled that battery and booted up ok. Any info I need to be aware of? I wasn't able to boot into recovery from rom manager at first. I can now boot into recovery after reflashing CWM recovery but cannot do anything once I am in it?

Flashing through ROM Manager is just a simpler way to get CWM. And I'm not sure why you would have gotten the red triangle, unless you didn't rename/delete the file in system. And I haven't heard anyone say the couldn't do anything in recovery, so I'm not sure what the problem is there.
When I try and change the file name it says insufficient permissions??
I have root...
Cwm doesn't stick though. I always have to boot reflash recovery and then boot into recovery through from manager..
Any suggestion?

Your file manager doesn't have root privileges, so until you rename/delete the file you won't be able to reboot into CWM

This. I was using astro but changed to root explorer and changed file name. Turned phone off and went into fast boot and then recovery and it worked.
To be clear, I was able to go into recovery before. I would have to open from manager, reflash cwm and boot into recovery.
I was just unable to power phone off and boot into recovery manually. Now I can.

Thanks for the reply. I did rename it the file to .bak following the script to the t! I don't know what happened either. Since then I deleted the file entirely this time and reflashed the cwm seems to work a little better than before an now I can do things in cwm recovery. Hope nothing else goes crazy.

Yeah, that file can cause problems with CWM on LTE, although it's a quick fix, I'm sure it's being worked on for future editions. And since you've been able to flash things, when you use the volume keys to high light options, does it skip one or two every now and then? That's only problem I seem to be having.

Same here. You gotta go slow. I selected the wrong option many times.
So I can't flash any rom because my phone is stuck in bootloop. I accidentally removed mediaprovider.apk and now the phone is stuck in bootloop. the drivers won't install and it says "device failed to install drivers in windows" Please help.

Go get the drivers on the samsung website.
I used the ToolKit for the S3 to install the drivers and you don't need to have your phone plugged in to install them. Here is the link to the ToolKit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665.
Are you able to get your phone in download mode at all?
Belive me, I tried all kinds of methods to install the drivers and it's failing to install them. The drivers just don't want to be installed so I can't transfer the rom into the sd card and since I deleted the mediaprovider.apk, I can't download stuff either.

Yes. But their are several options to re root and install cwm. I personally use twrp but the toolbox is the easiest method in my opinion to do it all for you.
Toolkit- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
TWRP- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793224
Edit: if you have a backup saved onto your SD card then you should be able to restore it once you get cwm on. Your backups from cwm will not work in twrp however unless you move them to the correct folder. Sdcard\twrp\BACKUPS.

I don't know which stock ROM you used, but Jellybean (4.1.1) gave my superuser app fits. I used Chainfire's Supersu.zip file instead of the superuser.zip the second time, and the phone has been fine ever since. I think I you should use it instead of that superuser.zip file if you haven't already.
i worked it out,i wiped the device and flashed the same rom that come with root in it.and everything fix now.
thanks to all of you that tried to help me.
by the way this is the rom- http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...747UCDLK3.7z&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13593235906782
Note that it has the same Supersu app that I uploaded as a zip file. That other superuser.zip file can sometimes cause you problems.
ALSO IN THE FUTURE:
PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON TO ALL THOSE WHO HELP YOU.

or rom manager lets you download the latest recovery I believe.......or you could just use TWRP unless all your backup are in CWM
Make sure your phone is rooted .. and then go to google playstore and download rom manager and select your model from rom manager and. Thats it ...

Yeah this is what it says in flashing instructions:
For Odexed, Deodexed, Kernels, and Modems use CWM or TWRP to flash.
__-- Data will be preserved.
For Factory Image use Odin.
__-- Unzip the downloaded file and flash ".tar.md5" via Odin. Ignore "SS_DL.dll". Will LOOSE data and root. Back to Factory State.
____-- If you boot loop go back into recovery, do a factory reset, and reboot.
What does that even mean. I download the modem file and then...

And then you put it on the root of your sd card then boot phone into recovery (thats if your rooted and have a custom recovery , like cwm or twrp ) (get into recovery by having phone off press volume up and home center button and power button all simultaneously until I see the galaxy note II as creen let go of power but hold volume up and home buttun until your in recovery , then let go of buttons ) then go to install if in twrp navigate to the root of your sd card and selct the modem zip and press flash after that reboot and you should be good.

Thanks, I don't know whether or not there is a custom recovery, as I just got the phone and it came with the Jedi rom, not sure if that is cwm or twrp. And I've never rooted a custom rom or other zip before but this post certainly helps.
How do you put it in the root of SD Card? The internal one in the Note 2 right? Is there a specific folder I put it in?
And which file am I taking from the modem download? Just the .bin? Do I rename it?

Do yourself a BIG favor... slow down!!!! Start by doing a LOT of reading. Search button works great here... use it! You've never done any of this before, and if you do something wrong you are going to be posting "My phone won't boot" or some other thread that says your phone is dead.
Since you just bought the phone and it has a custom ROM, it has a custom recovery. Start by making a backup in recovery, and save to your sd card so you have something to fall back on.
Don't be silly an be too anxious and brick your device.
NO problem, if you have the jedi rom I can guarantee u have a custom recovery so just go ahead and take the steps I told u and u should be good . Having any trouble Pm me or watch some Youtube videos .

Based on your questions, DO NOT ATTEMPT to Flash the modem. You need to read up much more BEFORE YOU START.
One, wrong flash and you are screwed. Make sure you back up your EFS partition before you start so you dont loose your IMEI.
