I used a root method on youtube today. SuperUser wouldn't work because the binary wasn't installed. So I tried to reboot and go into recovery, then I backed up and erased the data etc. So it failed on the AOKP rom that i was going to install then it wouldn't let me restore. So using ODIN fastboot i flashed over CWM 5.5.0.4. I think one of the new CWM recoveries has USB Storage Mount but on there website the zips only come in .zip and not .tar so I can use odin to flash it over. When I try to flash the stock ROM (.TAR) (619MB) through odin it fails. Someone please help me

I tried to flash a ROM and accidentally deleted the Recovery files on my phone (running 2.2.1 EC05), and even after re-flashing stock I can't recover the E: Drive information. Any suggestions on how to restore the E: Drive on my phone, so that I can flash again. I was able to root the phone using Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 however even the recovery mode of that will not allow flashing a new ROM. Any ideas anyone because I really need to flash this thing, I'm going through withdrawals.

That Rom is based off Kobridges FL16 deodexed JB Rom. Since we do not have source, the stock kernel only has stock recovery. In other words, you will not have cwm after flashing because of the stock kernel. What everyone is doing if they want to load zips is use mobile Odin to flash EL29 direct boot cwm or el26 cwm. Then flash whatever zip you need then flash stock TW JB kernel and reboot. Once you flash the stock kernel, it removes cwm.
Steps how I do it
DL EL29 direct boot cwm, save on sd
DL any zips you want to install
DL mobile Odin
Use mobile Odin flash EL29 direct boot cwm
When phone reboots to cwm, flash zips
Flash stock FL16 KERNEL
Reboot
Flashed a new recovery over, tried to install supersu from a rooting process. Rebooted into recovery then backed up rom, formatted everything etc. tried to install several different roms using TWRP and Clockwordmod. CWM gave me a status 7 error and TWRP gave me the error updating binary script. It also said that i had no root and would like to install super su to root it. i said yes and then rebooted and it still did nothing. the only thing i can install are GAPPS files and files that ARENT ROMS. Im stuck and I need desperate help on how to fix this. ODIN wont flash the stock rom thats a tar file but will flash recoveries. PLEASE HELP ME

First install a temperory CWM recovery by Odin and via that install which ever permanent recovery that u want this method helped me and i m sure will help u too.
Hit thanks if it helped
1-Use Root Genius Application to One-click root your Grand i9082 (www.rootgenius.com) it's a windows app, (you need to install Grand i9082's drivers on your PC before rooting)
2-Download the Recovery's image (.img file) and transfer on device's SD card or internal memory
3-Download "Rashr" from Google Play
4-open Rashr
5-Make backup of stock recovery (incase something goes wrong)
6-Click Install recovery from storage
7-Select the Recovery's image (.img file) in Rashr and install your recovery
8-Reboot and enjoy!
Recovery Mode not working
I succesfully rooted my i9082 using Kingo root. Then, I tried flashing CWM using Odin3 in download mode. Even after successfully flashing, the phone doesn't boot to recovery, it stays stuck at the Samsung boot logo. Even the stock recovery seems to have disappeared. The phone boots normally and into download mode, but I can't seem to access recovery or even bootloader. I have tried several different custom recoveries, and my custom BIN down is at 7 counts. Some applications I got off the Play Store say that I have no available recoveries installed/recognized. What do I do?
I also have same problem......!!!

Flash recovery again, try using Rashr app. If not work, might want to try flashing thru Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Free mobile app
I've had AOKP & TWRP installed for nearly 3 years. The phone started rebooting occasionally when I would go to manage apps and kill an app. It finally got hosed really good on the last reboot and it got stuck in a TWRP boot loop. I was able to use odin to reflash TWRP and after the initial flash I could get into TWRP recovery. Unfortunately I don't have any of the necessary image files on the sdcard. I then tried to flash a converted AOKP zip (now a tar converted with toolkit). I am not able to get either the toolkit or adb detect the device although I am able to flash with odin. I flashed the AOKP tar image with odin but now when it boot it stays on the Galaxy Note 2 screen and goes no further.
Now I can only get in download mode and since odin seems to be the only thing that is working for me my question is can I use it to flash AOKP and GAPPS (both of which I have on computer)? If so, what format does the AOKP file need to be? img, tar or what? Also can I convert the gapps zip file to a tar and use odin to flash it?
Much thanks in advance. I plan to purchase a new device soon but would like to get this working again as a backup.

Use a stock/rooted .tar image to restore the device partition structure.
It contains the PIT for remapping...
Once a stock rooted rom is flashed and running...flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 via Odin...
Then create a nandroid backup to SD CARD..
You can then flash AOKP and GAPPS as .zip files...in TWRP
It's a bit more work....but you'll have a clean backup and a way back if trouble hits...along with fresh partitions...g
I recommend flashing back to stock, get the phone set up using stock, install TWRP, take a nandroid backup, and then flash a custom ROM.
