Just installed ICS, can't install CWM - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I flashed ICS vwith KIES last night, this morning i was just trying to flash the CWM Odin file, then was going to root using the files suggested from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28559853&postcount=79
Odin is showing that the install passes, but i can't enter CWM...??

---

reboot while holding vol + and - together until you see the CWM screen?

---

You might need to provide more info.
what exactly happens when from power off you hold volume up/down and power button at the same time?
i'd reflash the cwm.

---

My mistake! i thought it was only the Vol + button, not both.
Thing is, there are so many people talking about how to install CWM, but it was hard when i searched to get good info on how to boot into CWM recovery mode.
Thanks and sorry for the dumb problem

TWRP has great built in GUI functions built right into recovery. Tomorrow we will be updating to 2.2 with a working keyboard in recovery. For those interested in the current release please visit http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/96

I went with GooManager after havin issues with CWM before it was stable (guessing it is now?). I find it easier to navigate and a little better organized for my tastes.

Make sure you have good CWM file. cwm-i717-120305.tar.md5 is the one I used (Non-Touch)
I hold power + Volume rocker (center), wait for reboot, let is buzz a couple times, let go of power - hold volume, samsung logo, hold volume for another 2-3 seconds, let go of volume ... into CWM it goes.

---

PHONE MUST BE POWERED OFF
HOLD both + - volumes buttons in....then
HOLD power on until it vibrates and logo appears.
LET OFF Volumes buttons.....enter CWM

How do you install this?

---

Download it from the link I posted. Go to your download folder and click on the file. It should prompt to install. Click install.

Thanks. I figured it out.

Ok, I installed CWM through odin, it passed. when i boot into recovery, I get the 3e stock recovery.
I tried odin again 4 times with a couple of version of CWM (my counter says 4 to prove it), but booting into recovery always takes me to 3e stock. what am I missing?
I have a Rogers Note, just upgraded to ICS this morning.

It seams there is a script re-installing 3m recovery during a normal startup (probably /system/etc/install-recover.sh). I found a work around:
Copy rooting zip to your storage. After you flash CWM through Odin, the phone will reboot automatically. DON'T let it reboot! As soon as it turns off, take the battery out. Now, put the battery back and start the phone in Recovery mode (Volume + an - and PWR) - it will start CWM. Install Root or do a backup. Restart normally - it will put 3m recovery back.
I'll test renaming the script for a permanent solution...

I did as you suggested and I got root. I then went and renamed install_recovery.sh in /etc, I then had to install CWM one more time through odin and now it seems permanent and with root.

Can you detail how you renamed the file? I too have this problem.

You need to Root first (as described above). After that use Root explorer or similar app to rename the install-recovery.sh file to something like install-recovery.sh.bkp.

Worked great! Have root and CWM. Curious if only non AT&T Notes have this issue. Do you have an AT&T Note?
