Not sure which files you've downloaded and which procedure you are using, but perhaps its because the odin and recovery files are zip files and the cw mod file is a .tar file. It should open just fine in odin when you open odin.

What do u mean by Open? All u do is flash it with odin. Your computer won't open it unless you have the proper software for tar files but u don't have to open it. The other ones are zip files.

I too installed cwm on my galaxy w but it wouldn't make backups, I've been searching the forum for a while to find out how to uninstall it, do you just go in to odin and still use ancora as ops? I don't know what 'one package' to install though, any help would be greatly appreciated :laugh:

Another way, if you have installed ROM and want to update CWM can use this tool:
- Google play app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unstableapps.cwmrtouchinstaller
- Download older version: http://d-h.st/esM or http://d-h.st/M1y

*Required: SuperUser (ROOT access)

OKay. Thank you! I will be copy your post to 1st topic.

You just flash the zip through CWM recovery like normal? I don't own this phone, I'm trying to upgrade my father in law's phone. I'm just trying to figure this all out before messing with his phone. I do NOT want to use Odin because I don't trust third party flashing utilities (have had bad luck in the past, particularly with Odin).
how do you go about doing it manually? I understand that the SGS2 doesn't have fastboot so something like
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
???

I am aware. I had to download it from the official Samsung site when i flashed my father in laws phone the first time. But i am a mac/linux user. Odin is not a good solution because it complicates a process that should be really straightforward, eg
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
By third party software i mean not part of the android sdk. Odin is proprietary closed source and only works on Windows with a select few samsung phones, whereas fastboot is intended to be universally accessible.
But back to my initial question, do you just flash the. Zip in recovery like normal?

Really?
Download the latest .img file from here
Download the above file.
Using adb shell or terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-hercules-[xxx].img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
#! please note the [xxx] should be which ever # twrp .img you choose to use
Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!

It is harder to help you when you post the same question to different threads. I only gave you the link to this thread so you could download the Odin flashable CWM tar file from the OP IF you are not able to install CWM using ROM manager. Have you tried ROM manager already?

Have you tried installing the .tard.md5 posted in the OP, it should work through Odin.
Edit: I've tested the files and Odin crashes.
Has anyone had luck installing the .tar.md5 files, there's a bunch of downloads but no feedback.

CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch Odin Flashable
I made and tested this one and it worked. I think the problem is that you have to rename the img file to recovery.img before making the tar file. Let me know if it works for you.

[Q] Hi guys - Stock recovery

How does one backup the existing stock recovery, before installing Clockwork or whatever other custom recovery you have?
I'm assuming you can't use Download mode, because that's just one direction, from computer to cell.
Could you maybe use a program like Root Explorer to copy the stock files to the SD card?
If this is possible, how would you package it into a tar suitable for Odin later on?
Thanks guys!

I thought that was only for rooting your cell, not making a backup of the current recovery code.

I'm on Android 4.3, so I would like the 4.3 version of stock recovery available before I replace it with Clockwork or Twerp.

It really doesn't matter what version of stock recovery you have, they're all the same.

So if I extract recovery.img from Samsung's tar.md5 package, can I just use Odin to load the .img into the cell, or do I need to add a script to it?

Where do I get latest cwm zip?

Newb question I know, but I honestly searched everywhere. Their homepage only has .img files and I've managed to find a few relatively new .tar files but I need a .zip of 6.0.4 whatever the latest version is so I can flash it within cwm already (Can't Odin since work PC's permissions won't let me).
If someone could tell me where to get the cwm flashable zip of newest CWM that would be amazing, or how to make one myself.
Thank you in advance.
