Are u familiar with Odin? You can't flash anything in stock recovery so you need Odin to flash the cwm recovery

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

You also need to go and change a few file extensions if you are planning on staying with any stock ED build the file names to edit and a description are here if that is what your after. Its down the OP a bit but before the first reply post.
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.

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.

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?

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.

Hey guys
this morning i woke up with my s2 telling me that there is a firmware update
I said yes, my phone reset itself and just samsung s2 with a ! triangle appears
I can get into download manager
I want to try odin, I've download a few things but for the PDA part it looks for a .tar .md5
I extract the Rom zip but there is nothing inside of it with those things... so i cant flash anything
please help??please :$
Then try another zip instead?
BTW Zip is for Recovery but it seems like you know this since you knew that tar/md5 files are for ODIN
Flash Siyah maybe? you can get the .tar from here
Make sure you put it in PDA and re-partitition is NOT checked.
Cheers.

To root, flash a custom kernel using Odin.
Think about to see if the Kernel or ROM is compatible with your SGS2 and with your version etc.

Hi everyone ..
I want to flash the latest Omega 4.4.2 rom and the developer strongly recommends to install TWRP recovery. I already have CWM recovery so I installed TWRP recovery using GooManager and it did tell me that it was successfully installed, but whenever I try to reboot into recovery, it goes to CWM instead!
Can anyone please help?
