I installed CWM Recovery on my G III to play with some roms. And now, I got back to stock firmware (restored the image using CWM), and it works fine. But I heard that JellyBean is coming as an OTA update, and CWM will prevent OTA update to install, is that correct? If yes, is there a way to uninstall CWM? I don't have a backup of my stock recovery.
Thanks
You have a LONG wait for jellybean to hit our devices....but for stock recovery check the toolkit out....I haven't used it myself but read the thread...

Another option would be to wait a week or so for someone to post a cwm flashable JB OTA update. Just letting you know you have options

Yep I just said what the hell I'll try to flash cwm through ROM manager and what do you know it downloaded and installed recovery.. I'm guessing we can use the ROM manager in app now also! Feedback!

Did you flash the nightly too?
I haven't unlocked but I'm thinking about it. So, let me get this straight:
1. Unlock
2. Flash CWM via ROM Manager
3. Flash the nightly
4. Profit?

Considering your rooted yes it works.
Just flashed CWM with ROM Manager no problem.
Nightly? There are a few things that doesn't work I think like dock keyboard. You won't have Asus apps so backup them with Titanium.
You'll have to flash Google Apps also. Latest are gapps-ics-20120224-signed you find them here:

BACK UP FIRST IN CWM!!
Probably necessary to wipe all partitions before flashing (Factory reset + in mount menu, format partitions).
Can you install this with Prime running Honeycomb 3.2.1 ? As I know the bootloader from Asus is only for ICS OS.

You need to be unlocked in order to use CMW. We had someone who wasnt unlocked and tried and bricked his prime. So upgrade to ICS. Then unlock. Then install rom manager. Then flash CMW from in there. Then flash new rom.
Technically you can install rom manager now but its useless without root n being unlocked.
I am having a little bit of trouble trying to solve a problem with CWM. I rooted my phone earlier last year and decided to try some roms lately but I am now in a bad position as CWM is telling me I have a different kernel and I am unable to get the option to restore my previous rom backup. I keep hearing to use Odin which I previously used to root my phone, to update CWM in the kernel to the latest version. Normally when I update the kernel it is quite simple - just install from the zip on sd, but Odin is a complete mess to understand. I am probably approaching this incorrectly. What can I do to restore to my previous CWM backup?
Try using ROM Manager to flash CWM, this might solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply. Do I flash the CWM.zip (current version) as a rom in this app or do I use a different option?

ROM Manager - Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery - Samsung Galaxy S2.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
That did not seem to work. Rom Manager stops working and after awhile it asks if I want to wait or stop the program.
Is there a way to get this to work through odin? I am unable to reset to the default firmware as some files are irretrievable now.

Do not use rom manager. Flash cf root kernel with odin and you'll have cwm recovery.
Hi guys,
I have spent two nights reading many methods of rooting and flashing already, but I yet to come across a way to install CWM Recovery for my GT-I9100M without using a CF-root kernel.
The thing is, I want to keep the official 4.0.3 firmware I got from Kies.
I already figured out how to root without using a CF-root kernel. He does not have a CF kernel for my version anyways.
Back to my question. Is there a way?
I tried flashing the ZIP from ROM manager's website, but the recovery is only temporary. The next boot, it goes back to stock recovery.
In my Xperia X10, I could install CWM Recovery using a program after rooting. Not sure if I can do it for SG2.

You can flash kernels and you will not lose your official firmware.
All you would have to do is root your device and make a nandroid backup before you flash anything. Then you would have a copy of your firmware. Worst case, if you lose the backup, all you need to do is go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware and flash through odin.

I see. Custom kernel is the only way to get recovery.
One other question though, is it okay to flash a ROM using a temporary CWM recovery (ie. recovery flashed indepedent of kernel)?

I would like to try 10.1 instead of the version I am on now (20121208-nightly-p4). It is recommended to upgrade to the newest recovery, but my question is, is it possible to use that recovery if I want to go back to cm10 or do I have to downgrade then?

After installing CWM v6.0.2.3 on my p4vzw, my tablet booted fine into CM10 before I did the flash to CM10.1.

Definitely load the CWM v6.0.2.3 first. Afterwords makes sure you have latest ROM manager. Backups move to a new location and you won't be able to find pre-10.1 backups easily without these updates.
Good luck.

I'm currently on 10.0 with the latest nightly. My ROM manager cwm is at the latest version 5.5.1.4 recovery 5.8.3.1. How do I flash the latest recovery 6.0.2.7 using mobile Odin. Do I need to to update to 10.1? I have no issues with 10.0 and my current recovery.

You need to update to the new recovery before going to 10.1. To use Mobile Odin just download the recovery image from Droidbasement. In Mobile Odin click on the Recovery button and browse to the recovery image you just downloaded. Select it, then scroll down and select the Flash button.
To answer your question, you don't "need" to upgrade, but it's the only way you will ever get Android 4.2 on your original Samsung 10.1 WiFi. Samsung apparently has no plans for further updates.
Good luck.

Hey Guys,
So I was running the google experience rom v3 and I decided to head on over to another rom but forgot to wipe before hand and my phone got a little wonky. I eventually ended up doing a complete Odin factory flash which brought me right back to VRUAMDK, when I went to install the OTA update to VRUAME7 my phone would reboot but would not apply and changes and I would get a notification telling me I cant update. I used an Odin flash to the VRUAME7 stock rom and that worked but for some reason I cant flash any sort of recovery now. Booting into recovery just brings me to download mode. I've tried flashing a recovery with Odin with failures on the write. Did I seriously F&#$ up my Nand? I just want to be able to run a recovery and have my GE S4 back Any help would be majorly appreciated.

The VRUAME7 firmware patched the Loki exploit and therefore you can not install a custom recovery. Right now all you can do is root the device also there is no way to go back to the VRUAMDK firmware.

Wow, am I really that oblivious? apparently.. any reason why this might not work on VRUAMDK either? pretty sure I tried flashing through goomanager on that and ran into the same issue..
