Hi,
I recently flashed CWM touch recovery on my sgh3-i747m, which was a big mistake. I rushed the process and did not realize my phone currently has no support for root. Luckily my phone still boots (after a boot loop scare). But now i want to restore the recovery to stock.
Are all the stock recoveries the same across all variants?
As in, can i flash the stock recovery using the toolkit for the AT&T version?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

hey guys, searched the forum, found some stuff matching my post but figured i would put out an update. just rooted tonight, ive done these before and i used to be a member awhile ago but forgot what email used. anyway, galaxy s2 sch-r760. recovery problem. CWM doesnt seem to offer a proper recovery and im new to using odin so im not sure where to go from here. how can i go about making a backup if i cant get into recovery? i would like to do a new rom and back this thing up asap. need a new recovery or ideas for one. any help would be appreciated guys!
You need to expand on this.What did you do to root,do you have stock or cwm recovery?
Followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928566 to root. Its a generic CDMA. Root went fine. It tells me that it has root access. I am trying to flash CWM recovery and it won't boot into recovery from the CWM option. It shows the unpacking screen for a few seconds then reboots. As of now I am assuming its stock recovery because I can't get it to boot into recovery from CWM like I was saying
Tried doing a manual boot into recovery and it turned on, said galaxy s2, turned off then rebooted. Its acting like there is no recovery at all....
No help on this guys? Anybody mod generic s2 before?
So i unlocked my phone and decide to flash a custom rom. I have an ATT HOX+ that was on 4.2.2. I rooted and installed CWM Advanced Edition PhilZ Touch recovery and then stupidly forgot to backup then wiped and installed the rom. the Rom i used AOKP Pure unofficial international. I flashed the img file first as well but didnt fix the stuck at boot screen with it saying initiating swagger. I think i should not be using this rom because my phone is from ATT. So bootloader still works, recovery still works i just cant mount my phone so i can send any more roms to try. And i cant push any zip to my phone. So im kinda stuck on what to do. Any Suggestions? Currently phoneless

Why would it boot........????
Please do some reading......
The recovery itself the CWM Advanced Edition PhilZ Touch recovery is For INTERANTIONAL MODEL
Please note enrc2b means international HTC One X+ not AT&T
Please flash this recovery and for the list of custom ROM's for AT&T model refer to this thread
Got the phone working. Finally found a stock RUU that worked. and yah i didnt do enough reading prior to flashing this rom. Thanks for your help. Hopefully a 4.4 rom comes out for the ATT HOX+ soon.
Hi All, I rooted my Verizon GS4 with this method "[GUIDE] Root for Verizon Galaxy S4 ***VRUAMDK Build Only!***" back before the first update so I have Root with Baseband I545VRUAMDK, Build JDQ39.I545VRUAMDKand Kernal 3.4.0-562219. I haven't tried to install any ROMs since then but started to get the itch so I started refreshing myself on the process and found that when I try to reboot into CWM Recovery it boots to Android System Recovery 3e. I'm looking for guidance on how to get CWM working properly. ROM Manager says I am using CWM 6.0.4.7. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

From what I've read about that issue is people have had to Odin back to stock then start over. Now maybe you could try installing another recovery like Philz maybe using Odin or try Goo for TWRP before you Odin back to mdk and go through all that.

I had a similar thing a few years ago, with what I know now I think the recovery is temporarily flashed with CWM to gain root and stock recovery is replaced after, I'd look for an actual CWM recovery to flash in.
Same applied to me using a ROM Manager, said it was v.xxx made a backup, flashed a ROM, turns out was left without a backup..... noob-old days

Thank you for the solid replies, I'm interested in getting experience with the other recovery methods anyway so I'll try those and worse case I start from scratch.
I have pretty much this same issue. I was happily running 6.0.44 CWM, installed via CWM.
Then I happened to check and see there's an update to 6.0.47. I installed via ROM manager which reported success. Except that it isnt. I basically have 2 recoveries as far as ROM manager is concerned. It thinks I'm on 6.0.47, but 6.0.44 is what boots. I'm betting it's the same issue you have.
I re-flashed Twrp trying to fix it. Now twrp is what recovery always boots; but Rom manager still thinks 6.0.47 is installed. Rom manager shows BOTH recoveries in the "Recovery already installed" menu.
Seems the issue here is the 6.0.47 when flashed via Rom manager. It bugs the crap out of me that it seems like I have 2 recoveries installed somehow. Not sure how that's possible, but everything seems like it's functioning for me.
Compare the sizes of the recoveries, one thing I've come across is when you flash a new .img in because of the NAND chip process for writing/erasing I have had 'remnants' from previous files.
In one respect it is unlikely but I wouldn't rule it out until you check yourself. It could just be left on the list as a marker that it has previously been installed.
Personally I don't use ROM Managers now, it's into TWRP Recovery and backup from there

Look Like I'll Have to Start From Scratch
I'm just getting back to this because work was crazy. No Matter what recovery I try always comes up with Android System Recovery 3e. Stock MDK and re-root it is.
Maybe try using GooManager to install TWRP after you've gone back to stock.
I recently rooted and flashed CM7 on my T-Mobile Prism, but shortly afterwards I found out that the device was still eligible for warranty. I'm in need of an upgrade, so I decided to try to return the phone to stock as to reinstate the warranty. I managed to unroot and flash the stock ROM, but I still have CWM Recovery on the device. The problem is that whenever I plug the phone in to charge from a power-off state, it boots straight into the custom recovery instead of booting up like normal. Now, I'm asking if there is any way to either prevent the device from booting into the recovery like that, or to remove CWM altogether and reinstall the stock recovery.
If anyone could possibly help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hello Everyone,
I know that this is an old phone but could you please help me to install a stock rom or one that will work.
The problem
The phone is stuck in a boot-loop the person who asked me to look at it said that have been happening since the phone fell very hard.
What I did
I managed to get the HTC dev unlocked and flash cwm recovery (the latest version). At present the phone can only boot in recovery and the bootloader.
What I would like to do next
I would like to flash a rom anyone that can work with the current firmware, I think I will be able to update it from there.
So please any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
The real problem here is that the latest firmware does not have a RUU (the HTC firmware restoration file)... CWM is not really recommended anymore, you should change to the latest TWRP, then I would recommend flashing the ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
It is as close to stock as you can get in a non-bootable state. Remember that when you flash a rom on this device well it is S-ON, you must manually flash the boot image with fastboot.
