[Q] Downgrade CWM6?

I accidentally flashed CWM 6. How can I flash CWM 5? Can I go over it with ODIN for an automatic downgrade or do I need to flash back to stock first? Ultimate goal is to root (phone is not rooted yet) that install Cyanogenmod. Thanks.

What do you mean accidentally flashed? Unless I'm missing something here, why don't you just use CWM 6 to flash CM?

I personally use twrp...but u can always find the tar file on xda and flash in odin

I used odin downloader to reflash the cwm recovery 5 on a Samsung Galaxy FiT. Installed cwm 6 to get that original 4.4.2 firmware but i wasn't satisfied of it, and i went back to cwm 5 to install another custom firmware cuz cwm 6 wouldn't allow me (error: Status 7).

I don't understand why you want to downgrade...philz latest has zero issues flashing any ROM..kk or not. There are no status 7 issues with his latest. So do yourself a favor and download his latest, flash whichever ROM you wish (which 90% of them are already rooted) and profit. If you want to backup your apps before just flash super su and you will be rooted. If you are on mk3 the process may a little more difficult but its still easy. Google is your friend man.

Just a question...anyone?

Ok so my new S3 comes in today and I WILL have it rooted as soon as it is out of the box. My question is after checking out several root guides I see a pattern I'm curious about. I am coming from other rooted phones obviously and many of them required adb. basically it looks like i can just boot up odin and flash a a rooted rom and recovery essentially (assuming I don't care for stock rom/recovery and counter) is this about right? I ask because If i don't have to flash SU and a stock recovery then flash a rooted recovery or something like that than i'd rather not lol.
It looks like install samsung drivers, flash recovery, boot recovery, flash custom rom, profit! is this about right? (leaving out the wipes and stuff but that is obviously part of it)

I just odined stock Rom with root then flashed cwr and then flashed whatever I wanted

thats what i meant though it sounds like i can skip the stock rom with root...or am I wrong? Do I NEED to flash the stock rom with root or SU into the stock rom before flashing a custom rom or can i just go straight to a custom rom?

You should be able to just Odin a recovery and then boot right into recovery and flash
Here's link to Odin recovery

You can use the TAR file to flash a stock ROM on your phone using ODIN on your PC, with your phone in Download mode. For example, mrRobinson's pre-rooted stock ROMs are to be flashed using ODIN.
(But yes, if you flash a mrRobinson's stock ROM using ODIN [or an original stock ROM], it will overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one, so you would have to reinstall a custom recovery once the rooted stock ROM is flashed.)

[Q] 4.4.2 stock recovery download for install via Odin for sghi317?

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place or if this question has already been asked & answered. I've been searching for an answer for DAYS and haven't come up with anything.
I recently unrooted and reinstalled the stock firmware to my phone by following the instructions and using the downloads located in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189. However, the download did not include the stock recovery and now I'm stuck at the TWRP home screen every time my phone tries to install an OTA update.
Where can I find the stock recovery file for AT&T i317 UCUCNE5 that I can install via Odin? (Which will theoretically and hopefully solve my problem.)
In that same thread, I see a file "CWM AT&T i317 UCUCNE5 Stock *Recovery* Note 2", but I'm concerned that the "CWM" means it's only for those using ClockWorkMod Recovery. Do I need to switch from TWRP to CWM for this to work?

The stock recovery file in the OP will work with CWM, TWRP, or Philz CWM.
