What do you mean by permanent ?
In case you will find a another recovery which is compatible with your device, you can change if you want.
I don't understand this question ?
Normally we says that for the root! not for a recovery.
If it's for the root, yes, it's a perm root

Bro m saying that , is this cwm installs internally to system ???
as in mmx devices the cwm installs permanent to system and we dont have load it every time we wanna use this, i mean we dnt have update.zip file everytime..

Not really.
I tried with other source after resetting the fone to its defaults and everything went fine. Just waiting for a serious custom ROM meanwhile.
Thanks for your answer.

After installing CWM, stock recovery sends you to CWM, so I decided to do a backup, then rebooted, but I couldn't get back to CWM again. Is there a different button combination to get to CWM? Or is it there was any problem at installing CWM with the boot stuff in the stock boot.img?

Help Needed Please

I am sure this means stock recovery rewrites recovery everytime I reboot to recovery. CWM installs, but it seems the phone overwrites stock.
It's the only explanation.

have the same problem, can't do anything.
it seems like there's no way to have a definete version of CWR on s6802....

CWM recovery is not there after reboot.
While installation, CWM is getting installed and open successfully. But after a reboot again switches to default recovery.

do these processes deal with unlocking bootloader?
I m a newbie here, sorry if this is a silly question.

Works amazing, thanks a lot for this guide, mate!
I've rooted and installed CWM today on my friend's S6802 with XXMC1 baseband ver. upon this guide. All went perfectly well.
Even after installing CWM, reboot to recovery mode brought me into stock recovery, but no problem about that- I've choosen again "update zip" function to reinstall CWM and it goes perfectly well.

[TIP] Getting new recovery to stick

When installing a custom recovery, in some situations, it might not stick -- the stock recovery may be stubborn.
It has been suggested that, when installing via Odin, you can make sure to NOT check the "auto-reboot" and when Odin finishes, pull the battery.
I have found another way: leave the "auto-reboot" checked, but be ready for it -- when Odin finishes and the phone starts to reboot, hold the volume-up and home buttons down so that after reboot it goes into recovery mode instead of booting into the normal operating system.
This seems to allow the recovery (TWRP in my case) to take hold henceforth.
HTH

Good tip, I've been doing this when sometimes I accidentally press to reboot normally instead of recovery and its worked everytime

Reboot your phone in download mode by pressing and holding vol. down + menu key and then power key.
Select above pit file from PC Odin under PIT tab and start flashing.

I advice you to restore your phone this way:
Go to sammobile download the latest 4.3 rom from your country.(1+ gb file)
download odin 3.09
flash it with ONLY autoreboot and reset time marked.
DON''T! INTERUPT THE FLASHING OR YOU HAVE A DEAD PHONE.
and use an original cable with about 80% battery.
After the flashing process you see this:
A flashing blue light with the samsung logo.
Short time later the light goes out and you can enter your phone to configurate your settings.
In the worst case if the phone hangs at the samsung logo
go into recovery
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe cache partition
and reboot
Let me know if your interested you can root the phone further (safe).

Here's the detailed steps to install the Stock Firmware for your device:
1. Head to the download page, this is the UNmodified firmware provided ‘as is’ from Samsung/carrier servers.
2. After download is complete, extract the downloaded file and you should get a MD5 file.
3. Enter the download mode form your device [normally by holding the volume up button + home button + power button]
4. Connect your device to your PC.
5. Start Odin.
6. Odin should recognize your device, and you can tell so by seeing that the first slot from the upper left is taken, if not then you need to install a driver for your device. [I personally just download Kies and it automatically download the proper driver for your device]
7. Click on PDA from Odin and browse to the extracted MD5 file.
8. Press Start.
9. Do not unplug your device until the process is fully completed.
10. The phone will reboot and you should see a Pass! on Odin, which means the process was successfully accomplished.
Don't proceed with any step of the past steps unless you fully understand every single one of them, if you have any difficulties understanding anything feel free to ask!

Unable to root S3

So I was trying to root my gf's she today and tried to flash twrp using Odin and kept failing. I then went to recovery to just wipe the cache and noticed something I've never seen before. On the bottom of the recovery screen out mention something about manual mode and multi csc from at&t. Is this the reason why I'm not able to root? And of so what is the steps needed to take in order to be able to root it and possibly install a custom ROM?
Thank ya!

The things you read on the screen will not prevent rooting the phone.
What version of twrp and Odin are you using? Is the the phone providing error messages during the flash?

It depends on the version of Android you're running as 4.4+ has a few additional steps beyond the normal guides.
Generally the steps are:
1) Install Samsung drivers
2) Hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together until you see a warning screen
3) Open Odin but uncheck reboot, install TWRP
4) After Success, remove battery and unplug usb
5) Hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power button together
6) Go to Advanced File Mangaer and Mount System Partition
7) Go to File Manager and delete:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
8) Install SuperSU
If you don't find those files in the File Manager then don't worry about it. Most of the steps I got from: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-android-4-34-4-2-new/ which is a great guide but kind of skips deleting those problematic files (as they will essentially on reset put you back to the native recovery).

That's the tutorial I used. And I've done this to several Samsung devices but without the problem of not being able to flash the .tar at all.... Just keeps saying failed. Could I possibly do cf auto root and then flash the recovery from flashify or twrp app?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

Maybe try a different version of Odin? Is the Com turning yellow?
I had run into a problem where I one version worked and another didn't.

as suggested, try Odin 3.07 and maybe philz touch instead of twrp.

SHG-T989D : TWRP installed successfully, but won't start in recovery mode

Hi everyone,
It has been two days now that I cannot go through what looked at the beginning like a rookie issue. I have a SGH-T989D, I used either heimdall or Odin (I had to try both through this process) to install openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-hercules.img (or many others like twrp-3.0-hercules-custom.img). Every time it ends up well with either Odin or Heimdall, but if I check options to let the phone reboot after the flashing process, then I cannot access TWRP in recovery mode, but only ODIN MODE. If I uncheck the reboot option after flashing process and I manually restart the phone at the end in recovery mode (volume down + power button), then systematically I go to ODIN MODE and get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I get it every time, for any twrp file.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi: to get to recovery you have to hold down both the volume buttons and the power.
