i installed Resurrection rom 1.0 and i've just found out it doesn't have cwm. i can't flash anything, recover anything etc. apparently i need a cwm zip file? (fake flash?) but where the hell do you get that from?
is it safe to just go into download mode and start from scratch with odin?

the only time i've ever used odin was to flash lighning rom when i first rooted. everything since then has been via cwm.
screw it, i'll do that again. go all the way back to GB lightning. at least i'll have a proper recovery

Hey all,
Totally went back to stock...so started with DL09 and then proceeded up to ED04. I installed CWM (red) and rebooted into it and then rooted my phone. Worked great...this morning decided to wipe the battery stats...now it just goes to the Samsung (blue) recovery one. I decided to reflash with ODIN and it still just gives me the Samsung one. Any ideas on how to get this working again???
It sounds like your flash may have failed. Maybe try it again. It might be easier and more reliable to use heimdall in this situation as well.
Also, I know it's early, but this is a question and should be posted in the appropriate section.

You have to download this and ODIN to the phone ...
Code:

... What's happening is when you are booting up fully it is replacing the new recovery with the stock recovery... flash this, then flash CWM .. all will be cool!!

Heimdall works like Odin. Cwr is being overwritten by the stock kernel, you should flash a custom kernel if you want cwr to stick.

You may have to flash a custom kernel to get your recovery permanent. I did the same thing to get the ed04 ota.
1. Flash the dl09 tar file in odin, don't reboot.
2. Flash the cwm3 odin file of your choice, don't reboot.
3. Boot into recovery using the 3 finger salute (should be the one you just odined).
4. Flash the custom kernel of your choice & reboot.
That should keep it rooted & keep cwm available to you, at least it did for me. The key, fwig, is to repalce the stock kernel cuz that is what will replace cwm when it boots.

could be the culprit, try port 1 on your pc if you know it.. also no root necessary, just odin cwm and whatever rom you choose to flash should root you (most do automatically nowadays). if you're staying stock the super-one-click root method will do the job for ya

Nope cwm is for flashing zip files, odin is used to push tar files, since your pushing cwm to the phone you can three finger boot into cwm 1 time after pushing it with odin and you have to flash a new kernel right then and there or cwm won't stick, and you would have too re-odin cwm (the stock samsung kernel overwrites recovery on every boot)
Root, or root access is just super user permission to "unlock the ability to have access to all the phones files so in this case root access and cwm have no relationship
A dirty usb can certainly cause some issues...just for reference..I use odin 1.7

Hey guys,
I decided to start my phone with a clean slate and un-root it via installing the stock firmware I9300TDUALF2_I9300TVAUALF2_VAU
I've done this before and it's never been a problem, but now my phone will not start up properly. It gets to the Samsung flashing logo in the boot animation and just stays there forever (literally).
I tried 2 (from sammobile & androidromupdate) other different Australian firmwares and still the same thing.
I've flashed CF-Root on the phone, booted up into recovery and installed a few different custom ROMs but the same problem occurs, it just stays put on the boot animation for eternity.
Normally I'm able to work out this sort of thing but I'm at a loss this time
Any ideas?
EDIT: Forgot to mention,
#1.) The startup sound plays during the boot animation if that makes a difference.
#2.) I've tried flashing it from 3 different PC's, with both Odin v1.8.5 and v.3.07
#3.) When I flashed Foxhounds ROM, The whole install ran through fine (Aroma) so I don't think this is a file integrity issue.
EDIT EDIT:
#1.) The phone feels warmer than usual (not hot, just warm, warmer than it normally is when idling) during the infinite boot animation
Hmm I was going to say flash different ROM via odin. Since you have done it already. Can you try flashing different and rooted rom. See how ya go. Make sure the rom you download match the md5. I always face such issues but re flashing helps. Download any other rom copy to external memory. Since you have access to recovery. Flash via recovery. Good luck.

It's hard finding a ROM that offers a .tar/.md5 version though? Any recommendations?

great! so here's what I'm planning to do:
1. I'll flash this temporary cwm: http://www.mobilephonetalk.com/showthread.php?141995-CWM-Recovery-v6-0-1-1-For-SGS-2-Root-Method
2. then I'll install CM 10.1.
am I right?
I never read your 1st post properly,was thinking you didnt want to use a pc,and your on GB.
If your using a pc,you can flash siyah2.6.14 using odin which will give you root and CWM.
Youll need to see what the install instructions are for the rom you want in your other posr,whether you need ICS 1st or straight from GB.
Oh yeah I forgot to include that to my post. Yup. I don't want to use my pc. So, will it work?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
What does the rom install instructions say;do you have to be on ICS or GB or what.
And I wouldnt recommend not using a pc.If you get a bootloop or cant boot,you can lose recovery/cwm and the only way out of that is using a pc.
Its best to get a pc setup so you can hook your phone up to it in case of emergency.
You can use mobile odin later if you dont want to use a pc(once your rooted) and/or cwm.

The only requirement for cm10.1 is to have cwm. And I say a post saying cm10.1 can be flashed directly to gb provided that it should have a cwm because cm don't need an ics bootloader.
Ps: my phone is not yet rooted.
And yeah, thanks a lot!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Believe it or not,Ive never seen anyone or anything saying that an s2 running GB can be rooted/get cwm without using a pc.
All the advice says to use a pc or update to ICS then use recovery.
Can you not access a pc for this and the reasons I mentioned earlier.And Im away to chuck out an xp laptop that works ok with Odin.
So I had originally had TWRP/Hyperdrive on my phone, and switched to CWM/Cyanogenmod. I noticed now that I seem to have two different recoveries on my phone, because if I hold up+home+power I can go to a different version of CWM Recovery than if I use the Rom Manager app to boot into recovery. How would I rectify this? Would it involve wiping the /boot partition? I don't know where/how recoveries are stored so I don't understand how I can have two.
Doing a fresh install of a ROM has not resolved this by the way. And actually currently, I can't hold the buttons and boot into recovery at all, it gets stuck on the Samsung logo. I can only get into recovery via Rom Manager or Reboot options if I'm in android.

I would think though that flashing stock mdk would fix this as it did for me. I used ROM manager to install cwm then I flashed Philz and haven't had a problem since. Hope someone else can help you.

That's what I would have figured would fix it, because I'm pretty sure that's supposed to wipe /boot, but I found out I cannot flash kernels on my phone for some reason and when having to fix softbricks while experimenting with why it doesn't work and flashing different kernels, I had to do that whole process so many times I can go from softbrick back to where I'm at now in about 20 minutes.

So I flashed that one via Odin, followed the guide to root and everything step by step, and now that I'm back on stock kernel and want to install CWM Recovery, I downloaded Rom Manager and hit install recovery and it says everything worked but if I boot into recovery it's just the android stock recovery.
EDIT: Another thing I thought of. Could the fact that at one point I used this method to install CWM recovery on my phone have caused there to be two different recoveries running parallel?
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-r...on-att-or-verizon-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sch-i545/
UPDATE: Using this method I installed the latest version of CWM Recovery Touch but Rom Manager still thinks the normal version is installed, though now if I hit reboot to recovery from the app it actually takes me to the touch instead of a separate one. Is the app dumb or do I still have an issue? Also I cannot install kernels without tripping the count and having my phone tell me I need to go to a verizon store.

As in installing a KT kernel after rooting and having a custom recovery and ROM on my phone. Right now I have three 3/22 nightly cyanogen up and running but as soon as I install kt it trips the Verizon security and on have to flash back to stock kernel to use my phone. Booting into Odin and canceling out to restart does not let me get past the yellow triangle
