The problem is that my phone won't boot into Recovery like if it has no recovery installed.

Are you trying to get the phone back to a stock rom? Do you have access to a computer running KEIS?

What method are you using to get into recovery?

Yes, I have done it through Kies and when I try to go to recovery the phone go into a loop.

Sounds like you used kies to upgrade to official ics? Why would you need to get into stock recovery? What button combo are you using?

By pressing the 2 volume buttons and power at the same time

K. Sounds like you're gonna have to flash a recovery through Odin. If you're worried about the flash counter then I would flash cwm through Odin, flash counter reset and stock recovery in cwm. If you're not concerned about the counter, then just leave that part out.

Thanks for the help. I'll do it as soon I get home.

Odin wil not find my cwm recovery to flash on my computer!!!. what do I do now???????

When you hit the PDA box it doesn't bring up the tar file? It can't be a zip. Make sure you have the correct cwm file on your PC. Make sure you download the Odin file. I prefer the touch version myself.

no, no tar file. I have downloaded from several threads and unziped and they show in my computer but Odin do nothing to find them.

STUPID IDIOT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,:silly::silly::silly:. I downloaded the wrong one,,,,,........ will try again...

The PDA slot in Odin will only see specific types of files. In this case, it needs to be a tar file. Go to the link above and download the Odin file for cwm touch.

first one here is the one you want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046905
you need to use odin to install CWM, put the .tar CWM file in the PDA section of odin and press START, DO NOT PUSH ANY OTHER BUTTONS IN ODIN

[Q]CwM Recovery Won't Stick!!

I am having an issue with flashing CWM via Odin and keeping it there. I flash CWM via ODIN, I've tried 3 diff versions of CWM , Red One, Voodoo (blue one) and the 3.0.0.8 via rom manager (orange one) each time i flash one, i can boot into after flashing it via ODIN, but when i reboot the phone. CWM is gone and its back to the factory samsung recover "for all devices" nonsense. I have been able to obtain root by flashing via the SU zip method and I have root, i just can't flash a rom b/c cwm wont stick....any ideas? search returns nothing!
Thats because you need a modified kernal for cwm to stick.
Here is the modified stock kernal for a froyo rom. put this in the pda function of odin.

+1 to you.
I appreciate the kind words sir, thanks!

did you odin a cwm recovery after the modified stock kernal?
Make sure your battery is removed when entering download mode to flash cwm via odin.
Once it shows successful, remove the cable.
insert battery and immediately enter cwm using the 3 finger method.
Flash a custom stock kernel.
choose "reboot system now"
let the system boot up.
then boot back to cwm recovery and flash your rom of choice.

You could search it, but I 'll tell you how.
1. Use Odin to flash CWM recovery over the stock recovery
2. Download the zip file to install supuersu or superuser via CWM
3. Boot into recovery and flash the zip file

Did you boot the phone into download mode before using Odin to flash CWM? If you did that try using a different USB port, reinstall drivers for note, or try running Odin in admin mode.

[Q] Installing TWRP on Unrooted Note

How can I install TWRP on my unrooted Note? and Which is the easiest way to install it?
Searching through the forums I haven't found any specific instructions but if I've read correctly it seems that through ODIN is the easiest way.
Where can I get the latest ODIN for the Note i717?
Could someone be so kind to provide some instructions and links?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You don't need to be rooted to flash a rom or install a recovery. Root is for access to the system files of the rom after it boots and loads.

How can I install a recovery without having to root my phone first? What's the procedure
All the instructions I've found require the Note to rooted first.
Rom already on sdcard.
Recovery tar in Odin.
Flash recovery with Odin
Boot into new recovery and flash rom.
Rom will be rooted once booted.
Bingo, the EASIEST way th go from bones stock to custom rom.

thanks for this , man..my wife's Note was never rooted, and she wants it done, so I will try this way..
sounds waaaaay too easy though!
I didn't mention that that this method will trip the flash counter
As I don't give one care about what my flash counter says unless I get a hardware defect within my year of ownership I didn't mention that before.
There are ways to reset it so don't even worry about until the day comes where you need to.
And just where do we find the TWRP. tar...... That we flash with Odin.....
All I see is how to Install TWRP using
GOO MANAGER..... And that requires root..
Which the OP doesn't want to do....
Thanks...

flash the CWM tar first, and after you go through all the other steps, and are rooted, download and install TWRP..
Like the above poster said, but skip the root step. So CWR using Odin and occasionally, then TWRP by using CWR, done.
Ok..... So we need the CWR.tar, for Odin...
Any links please?
Then.... We need the TWRP file to put on our SD...
Any link to the TWRP too please?
Thanks for all your help...
In keeping the OP's note un-rooted...
See the super everything thread. The tar file is there. The TWRP zip is in the original development thread.
Hey guys. Thanks for the responses.
I see that some of you are recommending to odin CWR and then use CWR to flash TWRP.
On the TWRP page there is this link to the following page http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/ which has the different TWRP files and there is a TWRP .tar file. File name: openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-quincyatt.img.tar
Can I just odin the above file instead of odin CWR first?
Where can I find the latest ODIN? I've looked for downloads but haven't found it. A link would be much appreciated.
Once again, thanks.

good question.....
coul;dnt he just Odin the TWRP .tar alone??
And skip the Odin CWR all together??
PS... Thanks for the direct Link to the Latest Odin!!!!
Yup
As long as its a .tar and contains a recovery.img whichever you choose is just that, your choice.

Odin is for flashing the original firmware from Samsung. You should be able to find it here in the forum for your phone. They usually will post it either in the General or Development sub-forums. If you can't find the exact one you need, then you can check out sammobile.com, though it is usually a pretty slow download. You must use the one for your variant of S4 and can be specific to your carrier or region, depending on which S4 you have. You should only use the same firmware or newer.
odin for samsung
i will recommend try flashing a custom recovery like twrp or philz for flashing a custom rom
flash recovery image using odin or any adb boot type commands
also be device specific when u search for rooting or flashing roms to avoid bricking of the device
