I'm trying to flash CWM on my non-rooted, fully updated T210R. I'm following the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853.
Odin says it flashed successfully, and the tab reboots fine, but when I power off and boot into recovery, I'm getting the stock recovery. I've tried both the touch and non-touch versions, without success.
It's probably something small that I'm missing, but I can't for the life of me find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

1.Dont check the autoreboot. Ketut.kumajaya said something about the system is restoring recovery when rebooting
2. Try to redownload the cwm recovery.
3. If that didnt work, What odin are u using? Try 3.07 ..
4. You can also try twrp. I am using twrp and it is working great

I will recreate an autoroot package for you in my spare time. Samsung Android boot image has a known feature to patch the boot image and use it to overwrite the recovery image on every boot. This feature disabled in blackhawk kernel, some recovery has a capability to disable this feature as well.

Yes, you can flash it on stock rom (with CWM), but OTG isn't functioning yet.

I used goo manager after going to this link http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 and selecting my device. Pretty easy install from the goomanager. Then from goomanager I "reboot into recovery".

Check your build prop for device name. Maybe its not correct because of the Rom you're on. Whats the error you're getting?
Did you ever get TWRP on your phone?
I've had goofy issues with TWRP but much prefer it to CWM. Originally rooted using CWM and SuperSu and switched to TWRP when I flashed CleanRom several times via Romtoolbox pro I've flashed updated Twrp it said it was successful but when it rebooted was soft bricked! Had to use Odin and original CWM to get back in and re-install everything (nandroids were twrp backups) found file downloaded to sdcard that worked fine! Odd...

If by "installed" you are referring to the recovery program itself (and not your backups), you can only have one recovery 'installed' at one time as there is only 1 "Recovery" partition on the device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9). So if you want to install CWM instead of your current TWRP (or visa-versa), either flash the appropriate new recovery zip via your current recovery... or Odin3 flash your desired new recovery tar. Either way, it will write to the same recovery partition. If you are referring to your backups... these are stored in the designated path you selected (either internal sd or external sd)... in the TWRP/BACKUPS folder. In that folder, you will have a device id #... in that folder are your backups.
Gotcha! Thanks the way it acted I wondered if there were "leftovers" in recovery partition or corrupt data. When I reflashed CWM or TWRP via ODIN it didn't say "Passed" instead "RESET" and I had to unplug phone and manually boot recovery which sometimes took a couple tries... Only boxes checked in Odin are reset time and reboot.

Which version of Odin3 are you using? When I used Odin3 v1.85 I would get the "PASSED" but with Odin3 v3.07, I also only got "RESET" (on an WindowsXP box)... but both flashed it correctly (and auto rebooted after flash)
Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 ATT]
I tried the [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 ATT] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779 out of curiosity sake. Worked for me installing TWRP 2.3.2.3 without a hitch. Great tool from what I can see, and that's just one of it's many features. Great for simplifying things for new Android users just entering the customizing scene and regulars alike. Big ups to mskip for making this available. I can foresee myself grabbing the donate version here real soon.
And to get yourself SIM unlocked, get yourself back to 4.1.1 and give this a whirl.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982 Bought my device used, was supposedly unlocked, wasn't. Even came with an unlock code that the previous owner purchased. Firstly it's a no go on 4.1.2, secondly still didn't work when I dropped back to 4.1.1. But this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982 will set you free. Big thanks owl74 for posting. Once again XDA forums saves my hair from being pulled out.
I've searched relentlessly for a solution to this, but I haven't come up with anything, so it's time to ask for help.
I just used mskip's Galaxy S3 QCOM Toolkit v2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682) to flash CWM and root my GSIII. The recovery flashed successfully, using "recovery-cwm-lte-sgs3-v5.tar" included with the toolkit.
CWM recovery works. However, when I tried to boot the phone, I got the first Samsung splash screen, then the screen turned black, a second later the boot tune played (with no splash screen showing), and then... nothing. The blue notification light blinks infinitely, and the phone is unresponsive except for holding the power button down for 10 seconds, which restarts it, and the same thing happens again.
I can boot into CWM recovery, as well as download mode. I tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset, which changed nothing. However, when I tried to flash a stock ROM (again using the toolkit), I got an "unsupport dev_type" error. I presume that USB debugging has been defaulted to disabled now from this, but maybe I'm wrong. In any case, I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't want to claim that I've bricked it yet, when I have both recovery and download, but I don't know what to do now.
Help?
EDIT: I'm sorry, I forgot basic information : I'm using a SGH-T999 (T-Mobile GSIII).
I would defiantly boot in to cwr and do a clean install on a diferent rom. Not a back up u made with cwr but a .zip rom... n u sgould b ok.. I would try jb smooth

Looks like the toolkit installed an older version of CWM. I flashed 6.0.1.2 via ODIN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30806933) and then flashed CyanogenMod 10.0.0. Works great.

hi all!
Just received my note 2 n7100 back from insurance claim (smashed screen) and they factory restored it
rooted phone and all was fine but i forgot to use root with cwm.
So i used Mobile Odin to install CWM but now when i try to reboot to recovery it freezes and restarts. The Samsung screen flickers and flashes for few seconds and restarts.
I can get back into the phone after a reboot but i cant install CWM.
I have flashed stock rom and was able to get into stock recovery then tried galaxynote2root.com method to root and CWM but still does the same.
any help?? xx

well if you are able to install twrp or philz just stay with it , as it does the job well specially philz incase u want to try a 4.3rom for now than u need a recovery with 4.3 support which cwm has but maybe even other recovery works on it as I havent tried 4.3 till yet so better use philz and it will help u to stay away from bootloop as it works great with all custom rom

I am trying to upgrade my Virgin ROM to the 9.12 build but get a fail upon trying to flash it. The background.... I'm using TWRP recovery and have tried the chainfire root method. Here are the results:
As you can see you can see some conflicting information... all shots were taken in sequence. I'm thinking the fail in twrp is coming from the system not having root but the info is telling me otherwise....

Do you have the latest SuperSU version?
I'm a little lost at what you are saying.
You flashed a rom, and it said fail, and you think it has to do with Root?
If you have TWRP installed it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not. It's going to over right the system partition regardless if you have root or not.
So it's either a bad download or bad transfer for it to fail.

I do have the latest SU version by chain fire. And maybe I'm doing something wrong the because I am running the virgin gpe ROM now and that flashed in twrp with no issues. Now when I go to install (after wiping) and select the 9.12 update that I downloaded it hangs on trying to open the zip and fails... I haven't changed any twrp settings but in the write options of twrp what boxes should be checked because system is not by default... Thanks for the replies!

You can give CWM a try, I've been using it for a while without any issues. Out of curiosity what version if TWRP you are using? I think most people recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2. I'm using the latest version of CWM.

If all else fails, just start from scratch, get stock UVUAMDL tar, flash it with Odin, make sure to do a factory wipe after you flash it, sometimes bootloops occur if you don't. You don't even have to go past the first screen where you pick the language. Just shut it down from there and boot into download mode and root with Chainfire with Odin, then shut down and boot up again into download mode again and flash custom recovery tar of ur choice with Odin. Then download whatever custom rom zip and install it via custom recovery.

heyyy saw your reply in my thread.
just as @byron1985 suggested there, it sounds like you got a bad download. the flashing scripts are essentially exactly the same from previous version. the flashing process has absolutely zero to do with SuperSU.
edit: re-read. so you've verified the download. if you had success with CWM previously, i would go back to that. i do not use TWRP.

I accidentally installed the wrong kernel on my Galaxy Note 2 (T-Mobile T-889). I think it was a kernel for a GT-N7100. With the installation of this wrong kernel, it changed my custom recovery from TWRP to "Devil Recovery". This recovery does work, and I am able to do things with it. With it, I reinstalled the original kernel back and the phone is working (whew!!). So all is well in that regard, but I cannot seem to fix the recovery back to TWRP. When I use the Devil Recovery to install the TWRP zip (which worked ok before) it fails. I tried using Goo Manager as well, but it also fails. Is there a way to wipe this recovery so that I can reinstall TWRP??
Thank you in advance!

Good thought, and I apologize that I didn't write that into my original question. I did try to use Odin, but since the phone (sort of) thinks its now a GT-7100, I haven't been able to get Odin to recognize (connect) to the phone. I'll keep working at it!! Thank you for the idea though!
