[Q] Recovery?

I have a question about how the recovery works. So I am a bit new to this, but does anyone know how the recovery mode works on the T989. So I understand that there is a Download mode and one can use this to flash just about anything such as a kernel or an entire rom. Now what I am confused about is CWM when one installs this using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639673 does it overwrite the built in revovery (I actually am not sure if there is a built in recovery menu, I was looking at the ATT captivate and there is an e2/e3 recovery menu where one can flash things similary to CWM). And if it does overwrite this revocery menu is there a way to get it back? Also one more question, with odin are we able to flash CWM at all?
Thanks

Download mode is the mode you need to be in to use odin ans yes flashing CWM via odin overwrites the stock recovery allowing you to root. I would follow this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194
Odin is a program you will need to flash your CWM recovery...and you can use Odin to revert to complete stock if needed so yes you can restore stock recovery.
Hope I helped

How to get a recovery on M919UVUAMDL?

I read the topics. Tried flashing all 3 recoveries through ODIN and NONE work!
After booting, it takes me back to the stock Android recovery.
Does anyone know how I can get the phone rooted and with Clockwork of TWRP?

What did you try to flash via Odin?
Were you flash in the .tar files?
Why not just try CF auto root? It will get you rooted quickly and painlessly then you can use ROM manager to install recovery
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Looks like your recovery is being over written.
Follow the instructions in the stickies.
Your close

[Q] Can't acces recovery mode after succesful rooting.

Hello. I have successfully rooted my sgh-899v and I have have used this method.
galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method[Can't link it properly because I do not have 10 posts yet]
Now whenever I try to go into recovery mode, I have the samsung logo which breaks down. After a while it will boot and I can use it. It's not bricked. It just won't go into recovery. I have installed Titaniumbackup and ROM manager and I don't know what to do. The cwm that I flashed through Odin said cmw6 but when I choose the version on ROM manager for recovery setup, I chose ClockworkMod 3.x+ and my phone says current recovery at cwm 5.x.x.x and I still can't acces recovery mode! Please help it is very frustrating for me. Thank you for reading.

If you have root access use an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot

Will the app you sent allow me to boot into recovery mode even though I don't currently have it? I'm scared to do anything to brick my phone. Please reply and thanks for the reply.

If you dont have a recovery which u should yes it will allow you too if you have root access and if you want to install twrp recovery install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager and open the app hit the menu key you should see a list of options one being install openrecovery, tap in that one it will ask if you are sure you want to write recovery image to your device just click yes and bam you should now have a recovery

How did it go?

my phone is doing the same thing. i rooted it and then i tried to boot into recovery to install a ROM. the logo comes up and then shakes all over the place and then goes to a black screen. then nothing. i have to press the power button and it boots up normally to the regular phone. i downloaded goo manager and tried to install a recover but it loads for a second and then says no recovery found.
is there a way to install a custom rom using odin? i can bypass recovery using odin right? or does that not work?

You can install a custom recovery using Odin (twrp being one of them). Very few roms are installed using Odin.

Having problem custom recovery not sticking after odin flash.am on stock 4.12 w/root.have used odin 1.85 & 3.1.have tried twrp & cwm.always reverts back to stock recovery at reboot.
There used to be a unbrick/back to stock app w/root for earlier galaxies.that kept me out of a lot of trouble.since I'm on att note 4 w/locked bootloaders,I haven't paid much attention to what's available now.
any ideas why recovery isn't sticking.any help appreciated.thnx

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to boot into recovery.

Thnx for reply.before I saw your reply,I tried the rashr app from playstore.it worked first try.i had tried goomanager,quick boot and some of the other apps with no luck.
Thnx again.now I can flash a more current rom.

[Q] Difference between CWM and Philz recovery?

Hi guys,
I already rooted my grand phone and had CWM 6.0.2.3 recovery installed through ODIN.
I recently came across the Philz recovery for our Grand.
Just want to know the difference between the normal CWM and Philz recovery.
Also,the thread states that we can flash this in our recovery as a zip file.
how can we flash a recovery inside a recovery???
sorry if it is a stupid question...But just curioud to know!!!

Well... philz recovery has more advanced options , good interface , etc.. its just another recovery like cwm , twrp etc..
They are all meant for some basic purpose , but some have advanced features .. that's all

You are able to flash a recovery from inside another recovery because the what the zip flashing does is mount your system files, in this case the recovery partition and overwrite it with custom files. So the next time you try booting into your recovery, instead of the old files, your phone reads the new custom files and loads them into the temporary memory for your use.
This concept applies to stock as well as custom recovery. Whenever you hold down the three buttons, the phone is programmed to read and load a particular partition, the recovery partition, into the temporary memory with admin privileges.
So the recovery you are using right now is in the temporary memory, only available till that very session, that's why its not a problem for it to overwrite it's own files

Please Help: No OS Installed

I've been at stock root for a long time, and after being nagged about the OTA update to 4.3, decided to install Smoothest Note2/3 Rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582027
Before doing so, in TWRP I made a backup and also copied that backup to my PC. I also used the app MyBackupPro to back up all info and copied that to my pc as well.
I believe I followed the instructions properly to install the Rom, but am now told there is no OS installed.
I can access both TWRP and download mode via Vol up/down home and power. But that's about it at the moment.
Can anyone help in getting back up and running? I think/hope I can use the backup on my pc to reflash to the phone?

I just tried to flash Phiz v 6.01.2 tar.mdf via Odin. And although Odin says PASS and complete, I have lost recovery, including the TWRP that I had.
Now I just have download mode. Can I flash a recovery image via Odin to get it back up? I'm starting to get myself a little worried now
