I've been trying to root my Note 2 using the guide on XDA ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2 ). However, I can't access the CWM recovery. This is what I tried, maybe you can see where I did something wrong:
I've started Odin, clicked PDA and pointed it to the philz_touch file which I downlaoded through the link provided in the guide.
Auto-reboot and F. Reset Time are checked.
Then I put my phone into download mode, waited until the com.port thing turns blue.
Then I clicked start. Everything seemed to work fine and Odin said "PASS" or something.
The phone rebooted, but not into recovery. When I try to access recovery I see that it's stock.
According to the instructions in the guide I then unchecked auto-reboot, repeated the procedure and rebooted by keeping the power button pressed.
It doesn't go into recovery but just starts up.
When I try to access recovery it is still stock.
WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?
Can you name the file you flash?
this is XXXDDDAAA
The one linked in the guide: philz_touch_4.64-n7100.tar.md5

when i reboot to recovery, the screen freezes and the phone turns off; it happens when i install CWM through galaxy note 2 toolkit
Also, when i try to install CWM via rom manager, the download progress stucks at 0/100 and, nothing

well just flash philz recovery via odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.prehp?t=1896696 all files available here , be sure to enable usb debugging and unistall kies just install the usb drivers that will do
Note :
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
thanks; i'll try
the link you put is not working, but i did a research on the forum (i didn't know philz recovery) and i downloaded it
hope it'll work

I noticed you had the same problem i'm currently experiencing. I downloaded tolkit and rooted via Odin. My Note 2 GT-N7100 is not booting into recovery. It turns off and restarts normal. How can I access CWM recovery. What files did you download? and can I re-install cwm via odin while my phone is rooted?
Thanx in advance....

Make sure USB debugging is clicked under developer option. after this install Philz recovery through ODIN. and then flash SuperSU.
This will do.

TWrp recovery install failed
I am n7100 stock unrooted. I tried to install Twrp recovery through odin.
Everything seems to have gone fine. I followed instructions to the letter. But I failed to notice if it said pass or not and note2 booted on its own. I don't how bad it is or what I should do next. Phone working fine otherwise. Please help.

I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.
any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin

Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.

K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.
Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5
Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip
I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.
Hope this helps get you a recovery.
Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.

This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

I was able to get it into recovery but i realized i did not have my sd card in so i turned it off and put my sd card in. unfortunately i was not able to get it back into recovery i tried flashing it again with the sd card in and no luck
That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?

oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.
Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.

Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.
Edit - Didn't see there was a second page 0_o
Hey guys I'm in some trouble. I tried to flash a new ROM to my phone and for the first time ever something bad happened. It wouldn't get pass the splash screen. So i entered recovery mode again using TWRP and reflashed everything. Kernal, rom etc...Still nothing. When I tried to reboot out of TWRP it said I didn`t have root. I choose to install it but nothing happened. I tried to use odin to flash but it failed. On the download screen of the phone it said I didn`t have a custom binary installed. Anyways i tried to reboot into recovery after the ODIN fail and now I get a screen saying `Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again`. Also my custom binary count went up to 2!
This is the first time this has happened to me and it happened at a really bad time of the day. Any help would be appreciated !
Edit : I can`t get into recovery but i can get into download.
So i was able to reinstall TWRP with Odin. But I don`t know hot to get back root since my rom won`t both. I cant restore a nandroid because TWRP can`t mount anything at all. Even when I try to reinstall the rom.

The first bootloop you got would have been remedied by doing a factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik.
Odin always raises your binary counter.
Reboot into download and flash a stock rooted Rom with Odin. The Firmware error is common after a bad flash with Odin, just ignore it. You should be fine.

Edit... what Rom did you flash? Some kernels don't agree with some roms. Best to flash Rom and set up kernel later after initial set up.

Hi, im new here. I here to ask. I want to root my galaxy grand duos (jellybean 4.2.2 not 4.1.2), but after i flashing CWM with odin, it doesn't work. Odin say "0 failed/1 successfully". And i saw the PASS text and my grand is rebooted successfully. After that i try to enter CWM recovery mode by pressing "Vol Up + Power button + Home". It took me to recovery mode but not CWM. It took me to Regular Android Recovery. Please help me with this. I want root my phone.
Did your device really reboot? In my case I had to take out the battery after Odin flashed cwm...
that's exactly my problem too. i can't access cwm recovery mod. it goes to stock recovery instead. i was able to access cwm recovery mod once but i didn't have superuser on my sd card. it was on my pc. so i rebooted my phone and the next time i tried to access cwm recovery mod i was unable to do so. seriously need help!!
Samsung stock flashes stock recovery on boot if a custom recovery is present... usually in cwm a notification appears when you're about to boot from cwm to ROM, asking to fix the stock recovery reflashing...

Thanks for your reply. But still not working. I tried that 5× and still not working. I cant do anything. In normal recovery, i cant install Fix-recovery.zip or anything. I cant root my phone?.
Just follow step by step
1)connect your phone in download mode to pc/lap,make sure you have installed Samsung kies properly as odin will detect the drivers
2)check if the 'ID:COM' tab in odin is turned blue
3)now if its blue everything is fine and now with your phone connected,with 'ID:COM' tab in odin turned blue,select pda in odin and select cwm zip and untick auto reboot in odin.
4)then once u have selected cwm zip in pda and unticked auto-reboot hit START in odin.
5)after it says passed just unplug you phone and enter recovery manually by pressing VOL UP+POWER+HOME,now you should have cwm recovery
6)in cwm select install zip from sd card choose zip and select fix recovery.zip
7)after cwm says installation complete now again select install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card and select update super su zip
8)FINALLY reboot system now and now you have a fully functional cwm recovery and have successfully completed rooting process:thumbup:

Like iceyhotguy suggested, follow the instructions in the link he provided. Here.
Just Sharing
Well i had a same experienced with CWM acting like that on a Galaxy Grand, so i just share what i done to fix it.
The first i got my gadget, i let it update and all, and choose to Root it using CWM method.
at first it was goin well, Then i start going deeper by deleting stuff on system that i think i dont need like KNOX and others (Im acctually a NOOB do help me with what can i safely
deleted). what happen next when i restart my Phone, all stuck on the SAMSUNG Logo. so i redo the usual Flashing of Stock ROM n Reinstall the CWM. but its not working anymore.
The CWM like just gone from the Phone. after fiddling around, i realise when flashing CWM using ODIN3 v3.07. "i cant uncheck Auto-Reboot", i dont know why i cant, it just like
that. Luckly i still got my old backup of ODIN3 v1.85, in which i redo all the flashing and i can even uncheck the Auto-Reboot thing. Oh because the auto-reboot its
tick off in ODIN3 v1.85, after flashing, unplug ur phone and while in its download mode, press the button to straight away go to the recovery, if u reboot it all the
flash will not work. And Pooof all my problem fixed.
Got my Phone system back, CWM and Root working unlike before. Hope this Help people havin a same issue. sorry if i write somethin wrong since im a NOOB.
Press Thanks if needed

I checked and followed almost every guide on the net. But it seems like my bootloader is locked or something? It always goes into Android System Recovery instead of CWM.
I installed latest Kies. (OS: windows 8.1).
Entered Download mode, and flashed chotu's recovery through ODIN 3.07, which I think is the latest. I didnt tick any additional checkboxes except the 2 which are checked by default.
Phone reboots, ODIN says PASS, and I press vol up+home+power and once again "Android System Recovery" comes up
I have tried this method 6-7 times, and also twice using Windows 7 and i really dont know whats wrong. The phone had Android 4.2.2 installed from the start. Yes, USB debugging is enabled but I dont think it interferes with Download mode.
Is there any alternative method, or any specific reason why this doesnt work?
Simply untick auto reboot option in odin before flash...after passing and all is done..it wont reboot..(reboot over writes the cwm again with the stock recovery)..... So just remove battery after it passes and open in recovery...CWM will come.....hope i helped...
NOTE- when after you done with your recovery..there will be an option in it when you press reboot that do you wish to overwrite CWM after reboot by stock recovery...select NO..and u are good to go for next time

Another method is that first you use root explorer..and there are two simple files which gives command to overwrite cwm after reboot.....just for info...... move both /system/recovery-from-boot.p and
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh to a different location so they do not get executed. I recommend just renaming them to .bak or anything you like... Some people say to delete them, but I prefer to make non-destructive modifications that I can undo.

First of all, welcome arnab (From the P500 forum)
You need to untick auto-reboot option in Odin
Also after flashing CWM flash the Fix Recovery.zip file to stop Stock recovery to overwrite cwn

Root explorer?? im not rooted yet. But isnt there some way to do this from stock recovery and adb? or maybe from odin itself?

Nice of u to remember me!
When I flash by unchecking auto reboot, and press vol up+home+power, it goes into a bootloop (Galaxy grand screen showing over and over again), till you release the buttons, after which it boots to the OS.
i tried with both odin 3.07 and 3.04. same bootloop.
also tried philz_touch_5.15.0-i9082.tar.md5
If it's ur first time of firmware installing.. Then first install it and then wipe data and cache.. Then let the phone boot.. Then switch off. Go in recovery and untick reboot option and flash cwm... remove battery and this time it won't be boot loop

turns out that my phone was a "baffin". the usual recoveries were not compatible. I had to flash 4.2-THL-CWM-Touch-6.0.3.6-Baffin-Odin.tar

Baffin is the device/product name for galaxy grand like thunderg was for P500
But 2 users have reported only the mentioned recovery tar working for their Galaxy Grand

im afraid because the root is not official i dont want to brick my device i just got it and the root file says boot image on the root file i don't know if that safe to flash HERES THE LINK
i dont know if the root will work http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6-edge-plus/development/root-instructions-t3212573
Im flashed the unofficial root, worked perfectly. Along with this TWRP and it was smooth as well. If you are going to perform it, just be sure that youre battery is 100%, OEM Unlocked, and USB Debugging is enabled.
Even if you brick the device, there is the official firmware on sammobile so you can always go back in case things go sour.
It worked for you???

So your saying flash the unofficial root first then flash trwp in odin and it should work because again everytime i go into recovery it says installing system update then it goes to normal recovery it worked for you are you sure so flash root first then flash recovery will it be on the latest firmware that its on now??
Post your settings. What firmware are you running? Its either AOI6 or AOGD
Currently on the newest software firmware AOI6??

Yes. Get your battery to 100% then you should perform the process.
Follow the root instructions on the thread for more proper details, but it basically goes like this.
1. Charge phone to 100%
2. Enter your developer options in settings and enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. [Do NOT turn these off. It will soft brick if you do. Once you have them on, LEAVE IT ALONE]
3. Make sure to have the Samsung Drivers installed on your computer.
4. Open ODIN 3.10.6 [HAS TO BE 3.10.6] in ADMIN mode. [Right click the ODIN icon]
5. Turn off your phone then boot into ODIN mode. Should see a screen that says DOWNLOADING. Go ahead and plug that into the computer once ODIN is up.
6. Click the AP box and make sure thats the only box that is ticked. Then click the AP button and naviagye towards the custom kernel tar file.
7. Once done, hit flash/continue then it should begin. Should take roughly 3-4 seconds.
8. Once its done, the phone should reboot and you should see you have the supersu application. You are rooted!
9. Now exit out of odin and reopen it in Admin mode once again.
10. Make sure the AP box is the only one that is ticked.
11. Now click the AP box and navigate towards the TWRP tar/MD5 file.
12. Boot into ODIN mode once again and plug the phone in. Once its recognized hit flash/continue.
13. Should take about 10 seconds. Once its finished, you should be all set.
14. Reboot the phone if it doesnt do so already and make sure everything is correct. Then make a NANDroid backup.

Thank you YOUR AMAZING:highfive: it worked perfectly there's only one problem im using an OTG 64GB flash drive that plugs into the phone's charger port because this phone doesn't support external SDCARDS anyway i tried going into recovery to make an nandroid backup on my stock rom and in TWRP it wont allow me to Backup to the OTG drive it wont let me select it, its there but i cant select it anyway when its plugged in it will only allow me to back it up to internal which i don't want to do is it safe to do an internal backup because it could be erased very easly how could i back up my nandroid rom to the OTG Flash drive if you dont know what it is ill add the exact pic or mabey i can move it to the OTG DRIVE through root explorer inside the OS HOW CAN I BACKUP TO AN EXTERNAL OTG please help???
ILL ADD THE IMAGE OF WHAT I HAVE UNDER THE COMMENT TAKE A LOOK??? PLEASE REPLY BACK??
What you can do is make the NANDroid backup on your internal storage, then move it to the OTG using Rom Toolbox Pro by jrummy. It would work the same.

Twrp will still detect it if moved back to internal?

ok so i would just transfer the TWRP backup to the OTG drive removing it from the Internal to add extra space back to it then if i need to restore it for any reason i would move it back to internal? and then TWRP would detect it even though it was moved and moved back?? please reply?
That is correct. As long as the directory is the same and nothing is changed, you should be fine.
