Hi guys,
I own both a Galaxy S2 and Ace2. I have already installed CyanogenMod on the S2 and I am about to do the same on the Ace2 using an unofficial release. I have noticed differences in the procedure between the two devices and I would like to understand these differences.
On the S2 you first need to install a custom recovery (ClockworkMod) using Odin before flashing the Cyanogenmod zip. The reason for this is the stock recovery will recognise that Cyanogenmod is a custom ROM and will not permit it to be installed directly.
However on the Ace2 it seems that you can install Cyanogenmod directly from zip using the stock recovery. Does the stock recovery on the Ace2 not have the ability to recognise custom ROMs or does it simply not care?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know about recovery recognision but I know that installing Custom ROM on Ace 2 is easier than on S2. You just need to flash the zip with Cyanogenmod but sometimes Custom ROM's need newer recovery so then you must install temporary CWM recovery to flash that kind of Custom ROM.

Howdy, one thing i want to ask is which recovery can i flash with my unit s5660M (with letter M). I tried flashing CWM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493932 under MyRoms because other links were dead. He mentioned that this recovery can only be used when flashing HIS rom. I tried flashing other rom not coming from him and didn't worked. I want to flash CM based rom. What right recovery can i use? Can i flash recovery for s5660 (without M)?

Just note, to install 4.4.2 roms you need on 4.2 STOCK, then flash newer recovery->flash it. Now just go to download mode and flash 4.2 STOCK via odin, flash CWM and 4.4.2 roms
Press thanks if my post helpful

Try to install the CWM mentioned in pawitp's CM11 thread. It should work for all Kitkat ROMs.
Another possible problem is incorrect driver installation or damaged USB cable, that maybe what's preventing your device to download from Odin.

Thanks so much for this - I have looked at the how to install the rom but can i ask one question? I tried to install the custom recovery in TWRP which found the device but when installing it ran the TWRP 2.6 and not 2.7.0.1 and when i tried to reboot in recovery i got a bootloop so had to reflash the stock rom. I am not sure if this caused the bootloop but because I dont want to make the same mistake again so can you step me through how to get the recovery ready prior to Intalling the rom in twrp??
first you must be on the 4.4.2 bootloader to flash this rom (flash P605XXUCNE2 with odin) 2 :make a fullwipe 3: flash TWRP 2.7.0.1(LTE) with odin 4: flash xKat v3.1 .The end
I'm quite new to this android ROM thing, but I want to install Cyanogenmod 11 in my S4 mini duos. It happens that I want to make a full system image of my actual android, so that I can make a backup in case I don't like using Cyanogenmod. I've found out that CWM can do that, but the ROM Manager found in Google's app store doesn't officially support my device. Is there an unnofficial install of CWM that works with S4 mini duos? Or is there another way to make a full system image of my android?
In original android development you can find cwm recovery by ARCO, philz touch recovery
In android development you can find twrp by f4k.
Thanks! Now I've succesfully installed cyanogenmod, and now I have a backup of my previous phone state.
Hello, i'm new in custom recovery etc. My problem is. I have Alcatel OT4027D(pixi 3 4.5 3g) with TWRT and installed cyanogenmod 12.1 . This version for my phone has too much bugs so i decided to get new custom rom (this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65298270&postcount=629). But the problem is, this rom needs to be flashed by CWM and i get TWRM installed. How can i change TWRP to CWM. Can this video helps to work? Should i got softbricked with this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDah3BWrK0o Best manual for change TWRP to CWM please? Thanks for helping, have a nice day
