[Q] What costum recovery are you using? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my new Galaxy Note II N7105 (LTE version), and because custom recovery is first on my to-do list, I'm curious what recovery everyone is using and why. I've found the official CWM/CWM touch, but no thread about TWRP.
PS: Where can I download the right version of odin if I going flash the CWM .img?
Regards,
X-zone

This is advanced cwm for note 2
Phliz touch.
On link there zip files to flash with custom recovery. Also tar files to flash with odin
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100
Search for odin 3.09 on forum its last version now

Correct me if i am wrong but isn't the link that you provided only for N7100 and he has a N7105(LTE)edition and he should be using this version instead http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/t0lte ?

i started off Philz but been going back and forth between philz and twrp cause at times certain ROMs refuse to boot up with either of the recoveries. Also philz at times has issues with running aroma mods ,so i switch to twrp flash what i need and go back to philz so it's a matter of preference and what the situation demands.So if i were you i'd have both saved on external sd card and just use either of them if encounter issue with the other one

Thanks! I have now flashed Philz, but I have one question. When you're suppose to enter recovery mode, I've read that you're suppose to press Power + Menu + volume Up simultaneously until you enter recovery. But when I do that I only get a loop: Samsung galaxy Note 2 --> Black screen --> Samsung galaxy Note 2, etc etc. But when i release the power button I enter the recovery. Is this normal?

How to change TWRP recovery

I have a t-mobile Galaxy s4 that is rooted and uses TWRP 2.6.3.0. The recovery keeps hanging at the Teamwin Blue screen. I downloaded the flashable TWRP 2.5 which is said to be more stable so can I just flash this with Goo Manager or will I have to remove the TWRP 2.6.3.0 first. If so how can I downgrade
Just flash in twrp like you would a Rom but don't do any wipes
No Boot into revcovery
I flashed the TWRP but when I try to go into recovery it opens to the Samsung screen with the blue writing and then it turns off, vibrates twice and boots normally. I did not wipe as you instructed

Download 2.5.0.2 version tar here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2 click on Get TWRP for your device and type s4 and click on T-Mobile version jfltetmo, you should flash it through Odin. Whenever you flash another recovery to your phone, it replaces the older recovery.
Where did you get the 2.5 twrp? I flash between different versions of twrp and cwm often.
Here is the post for twrp 2.5.0.2 zip also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43469920

Some people have huge issues with TWRP I know I did. You might want to flash CWM touch. I did and haven't had a problem since. You can easily download and flash from Rom manager. You can get that from play store. It will give you latest version of cwm touch. Easily. It should solve your recovery problems.i know it solved mine. Don't know why some can use twrp and others have nothing but problems with it. I know I couldn't use it.i needed a stable recovery and twrp was NOT stable for me. CWM touch had never given me a problem once..it might be time to give CWM touch a try...it worked out really great for me.

[Q] Rooted Note falling into bootloop after CWM Install

Alright. This was very confusing to identify why this was happening, but I managed to pin point the steps which caused it to happen.
I am running 4.4 Kit Kat firmware, I also just recently rooted the phone through CF Autoroot. The next move I wanted to make was to install the CynogenMod ROM, but I did not have a custom recovery installed yet. After downloading the ROM manager app, I installed/flashed CWM and the app read that I had it as my set recovery, so I could check that off the list.
However when I try to boot the phone into recovery mode CWM does not appear at all, but instead the android logo appears with three lines of words that read:
Recovery Booting
Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit: recovery
The screen remains like this for a couple of seconds, then shuts off, then repeats. The only way I have been able to fix it is by flashing the stock firmware again through Odin, then rooting the phone the same way I did previously. It seems that setting my recovery to CWM in ROM manager is the cause of this problem, but why? Should I install CWM through other means? Is it ROM manager?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks!

[Q] Problem with flashing a ROM

Hello Everyone:
I'm having a problem flashing a ROM. I'm currently on CM 11 from the N7105 forum but would like to revert back to 4.3. I'm trying to flash Skynote Air, the vanilla version. I follow the steps provided and when I try to install the zip, im being given a system 7 error and an error on the zip file. I'm using philz touch CWM by the way. Is it because im on CM11 from the N7105 or is it the zip file? When trying to download the zip file from the ROM thread, it was coming up blank and I downloaded a mirrior. Before the CM11, I was running seanzscreams Sky Note 4.3. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Only difference is I'm using TWRP as my custom recovery.
Only because personal preference... My fat fingers press buttons on Philz by mistake. I hit reboot 80% of the time before I even do anything.
EDIT: I had a copy of Philz on my phone, philz_touch_6.07.9-t0lteatt.zip. My download flashed fine.

I had same Status 7 error. In PhilZ Touch Recovery ( in version 6.19.3 which is actually 6.19.2) in Install menu, make sure you UNCHECK "Don't allow old binary update" then flash rom. You may have a corrupt data partition (I did). If so, you'll have to wipe /data/media partition. Read my post and reference links. Has to do with the change from CWM base 6045 to 6047 .

Glad you're back up and running. .. btw, PhilZ just posted an updated CWM Touch Recovery [6.25.0] for our Note2 [t0lteatt device tree] which now automatically determines if what you're flashing has older binary code embedded in its binary-script to avoid the dreaded Status7 errors.

Now that you've got the recovery working, you can try any other touch based recovery like PhilZ Recovery or PX Recovery and don't use stock ROM as custom ROMs are faster than stock ROM, now that you've got a custom recovery, it wouldn't be so difficult for you. :laugh: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
But first confirm that the recovery or ROM you are going to flash will work with Canadian Gio (GT-5660M) or not or you will have to use ODIN again.
If You Want to Keep TWRP, you can flash the updated version (Released Yesterday) from your current recovery from here:

Kitkat overwrites recovery on every reboot. So here is the solution:
When you flash cwm via ODIN, untick the auto-reboot option. Let the odin flash the file and wait for pass message.
Now reboot directly to recovery (not to phone). You will be in cwm. From there you can reboot to your phone.
Now power off your phone and see if you have a cwm recovery.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Well that is certainly weird. Are you sure you are using correct cwm file. Can you put the link of cwm file you are using?

Try this one:

I hope your note is 7100 not 7105.

Ok, here is the problem , you must root your phone first and after you can install a recovery like Philz or TWRP.

A custom recovery is necessary to install a custom rom but you can rooted your phone with Odin PC and CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip
For example there is an explanation here :http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-note2-n7100-root-android43-xxuemk4-jellybean-523833.
You can find others in google with search "how to root samsung galaxy note 2" .
The most important before installing is to copy your important folder to your PC.
I hope that can help you.
Excuse me for my english
