Hi,

Maybe you can try to flash CWM5 with Mobile ODIN from Chainfire => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
But I think that you should flash a kernel containing CWM recovery, such as CF-Root, SpeedMod, etc.
Good luck !

You need to flash a kernel that comes with it

The counter only increases and triangle appears when flashing a custom kernel from download mode. Using mobile Odin does not touch download mode.

Hmm, never heard of that before, something you've done wrong?
Grab odin, or mobile odin & flash the odin version of speedmod.

Help with stock kernel to root, and CWM.

Hi, is there a completely stock kernel with root and CWM that I can flash with Odin, on my S2. I have seen a couple kernels but they have things like different boot animations, and different little tweaks but I just want stock ROM with root and CWM. I have never used Odin before, and was also wondering if rooting,and installing CWM with Odin is safer than using SuperOneClick, then using Odin to install CWM? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

1. stock kernel with root? Yes.
2. stock kernel with CwM (and root)? Probably yes.
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
I have not personally gone with that option and I believe most of members here do not go with this option. So, I don't know if it works as expect or not.
3. custom kernel with CwM? Yes. So far in this room, there are 2 most popular custom kernels, Entropy's Daily Driver and Siyah kernel.

[Q] Custom Recovery option for 4.0.4?

Is there any way to get a custom recovery installed on the LQ5 ICS 4.0.4 without flashing a custom kernel?
Related to that, all I'm looking for is a way to make a nandroid backup with restore option, so if there's a third-party way of doing it, I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I've always used CF-Root Kernels, but I just Mobile Odin flashed this ROM and I have stock recovery, so the backup/restore features are gone.
Just flash the latest CF-Root kernel via Odin in the PDA section and you will obtain your custom recovery. No other way for it.

From what I can see, that's LPK 5.5, right?
Can I flash it via Mobile Odin?

I'll be extra cautious, as what I'm seeing here is it might have the emmc brick bug in kernel.
So what ever you do do not wipe using stock recovery.
I'm using the save ROM and loving it. But will wait for any more news.
Though I have wiped multiple times using the dial code.
Yes I believe you just flash the latest CF-Root either via Mobile Odin or normal Odin. As atifsh said, don't wipe anything in the stock recovery as the MMC_CAP_ERASE seems to still be present and will eMMC brick your device, which is a real pain considering Samsung know about this. But it is still only a leaked ROM, so be very cautious.

If you flash other kernel and you don't re-flash then the original one some things like bluetooth will not work....
If you do my procedure you will have CMW, Root & the most important thing: THE ORIGINAL KERNEL!!! :cyclops::good:
PRESS TNX BUTTON IF I HELP YOU :good:
When I flashed the Stock_LQ5-CWM.zip above, I lost custom recovery and went back to stock recovery.
Chainfire has released CF-Root for LQ5, so problem solved.
Thanks for the input.

[Q] Able to flash kernel if phone is not root?

Hi all,
May i know if i am able to flash a kernel like "siyah" on an unroot S3 by using the default recovery mode on Samsung S3?
If yes, are there any implication as the user does not wish to root but hope to have a better kernel.
Thanks.
Siyah is rooted kernel if you flash custom kernel all kernel is rooted.And you wil flash whit Odin nhot stock recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
no you cant,
if you have not rooted and CWM not installed, only throgh odin
major kernels are coming with auto rooting..
Even if i were to use the press vol up button with menu and power key to install the kernel from there, it still wont work?
Its Kernel and not ROM... so must i still use Odin?

Wrong kernel can be flashed via Odin without root if in the correct TAR format see stock rom thread .
Custom kernel likewise if its in TAR format .

[flashing][E3 recovery] Can you flash a siyah kernel with stock recovery mod?

The question is simple. It is already written above but I cam say it again. So the question is can you flash a siyah kernel(or any other custom kernel) with stock e3 recovery? I'm only asking it because we are on the road and there is no way I could go to a computer. Thanks in advance and sorry my bad english,

Definitively not. But, if you are on the road the solution is very simple:
Buy odin mobile pro, download Siyah Odin version and flash with it.

There is easier
Download cwm image from clockworkmod site (or link in my signature / method 1) and put it in your external sd card. Apply update from recovery and you get a temporary cwm to flash all that you need

When you enter the stock recovery, apply this update from the sdcard.
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip
It won't permanently replace the stock recovery but temporarily, so you can replace the kernel with Siyah through CWM.
