If you need CWM recovery only for a special action, you can flash "injected" CWM temporarily.
Have a look here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105 (Method 1 > Instruction 2).
If you need/want permanent CWM recovery, then you have to flash a kernel containing CWM recovery.
E.g. SiyahKernel, SpeedMod, etc. ... nearly all custom kernels have CWM recovery.
If you want a stock kernel with CWM recovery, then flash the corresponding CF-Root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root) or PhilZ-CWM6 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31310851) for your ROM.
Good luck !

Hey XDA,
I finally rooted my GS2 yesterday. I want to install a Custom Rom and before that I went to check CWM Recovery and found out I have version 2. I know that the latest version is v5 and that v2 doesn't have all the options v5 does.
I've searched for an answer to my question and I know I have to download the update, and flash it with Odin in the PDA section. Problem is that all the guides I've seen say: "you can now root your phone with SuperOneClick"
After I flash the CWM v5 update, do I loose root and do I have to root again?
Can you still please explain how I can update it?
Thanks!
What are you asking about .
One CWM recovery that comes via rooted flash v 4 or v 5

I'm already rooted but the CWM app in my phone is v2 and I need v4 or v5. After reading the "NEW HERE" guide, I found out I'm not booting into CWM Recovery but it boots into Stock Android Recovery Mode, even after I choose the option to do it in the app. I went into the CWM app and it says the Kernel is unknown.
What can I do?

Who says and where is this CWM 5 i dont think you are reading the instructions ,
After reading the "NEW HERE" guide, I found out I'm not booting into CWM Recovery even after I choose the option to do it in the app
Then that tells me you do not have a phone with CWM recovery installed .
Why well CWM MANAGER v 2-0 boots fine to CWM Recovery v 5 .
Root + CWM 5 from here flash via ODIN .

Please note once more CWM recovery is not CWM manager and vice versa .

I think I got confused.
My problem is: I can't boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery. I just can't. Yes, my phone is rooted, I did it yesterday, I know it's rooted because I can use Titanium.
I followed this guide to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I chose this insecure kernel from CF's thread: CF-Root-SGS2_CE_XEN_KI2-v4.2-CWM4.zip
In my phone, I have an app named CWM, I click the app and it gives me the option to boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery but when I click it, it takes me to stock android recovery.
Hope this can help you help me!

That thread contains multiple ways to root, but judging by your need to flash a kernel, I presume you followed the guide which tells you to flash a stock kernel afterwards. In doing that, you removed CWM recovery.
To keep CWM recovery, you have to install a kernel which includes it (such as CF-Root). Easiest way to get it back is to just re-flash the CF-Root kernel you already downloaded.
Yes, you're right, I chose the guide that told me to flash a stock kernel afterwards. Thank you for clearing this up!
When I flash this kernel again, will I have to use S2 root to root it again? or will it remain rooted?

As the name implies, CF-Root is already rooted.

1. Download Siyah kernel .tar Odin version here: www.gokhanmoral.com/
Siyah kernel comes with touch recovery, so you can simply do without any hardware button once you get to the recovery.
2. Download QUICK reboot here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&feature=search_result
-You will need the app once you have ROOT access to boot to recovery.
3. Download any custom ROM of your choice. Also read the flashing instructions
4. Flash Siyah kernel via Odin
5. Use quick boot to reboot your phone into CWM recovery
6. In CWM recovery,
- Backup your present ROM
- flash the Rom following the flashing instructions on the first post of the ROM's thread
- flash Siyah kernel again
- reboot phone
Done.
Notes:
1. The guide above will only work for GT I9100, I9100P, GT I9100T and GT I9100M
2. The tutorial will not work for GT I9100G

Sorry for the noob question, but i really need some assurance before i proceed
My goal is to install CM10 for S2.
So in order to do that i need to:
1. Download ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 and flash the kernal via odin
2. Download SuperOneClick to Root my S2
3. Proceed with CM10 flash -> then Factory reset.
So that's about it right? backup has been done. anything else i need? What about modem?
So pointer would be great. I'm kinda rusty, left the android scene for years.
PS - My S2 is stock, no mods.

Quite right.
You need CWM recovery to flash CM10.
The easiest way to get it IMO is to flash a rooted kernel which contains CWM recovery.
You can use SiyahKernel or PhilZ-cwm6 kernel ... it's your choice and depends on your current ROM version.
After flashing the kernel, your phone will be rooted and you will have CWM recovery.
You should create a nandroid backup in CWM recovery - just to have a complete system backup of your current ROM.
Then you can flash the CM10 in CWM recovery - stick to the installation instructions of the ROM. You may have to wipe data/do a factory reset.
Good luck !
So if i were to use PhilZ-cwm6, i dont have to use superoneclickroot? Correct?
- so no need for odin right?
About choosing PhilZ kernel, mine is XWLP7, so, i would download XWLPZ kernel? Correct?
im nearly getting it LOL.
You don't need superoneclickroot when using PhilZ-cwm6, it's already rooted.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270 and search for XWLP7 and download that kernel (I'm not sure XWLPZ is close enough in version, but as there is a XWLP7 kernel there, I would use that.)
superoneclick is obselete. If you have CWM then theres no need for Odin. You get CWM with almost all rooted Kernels. If you aren't currently rooted however, you wont have CWM. Imo, the best way to go from no root > root is to flash a rooted Kernel via Odin, and yes your kernel version should correspond to your ROM version.
how to root galaxy s2 i9100 official jelly bean without using odin or computer.
i mean direct installation of cwm and superuser through custom recovery. i want soft root only for using titanium backup and other root apps not for installing custom roms. just a soft root without changing the kernel.
You need odin.

Basically this is a combination of Chainfire's root for galaxy note and DoomLord's tool for easy rooting.Worked perfectly for me on my Galaxy S2 KF3.
So no need for USB jig to reset counter and no need for ODIN.
1. I rooted my SGS2 through DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit). [16/Nov][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit) - xda-developers
I am not sure this method works for everybody, but I was on KF3 Kernel and got root in less than 2 minutes.
2. Now getting the custom recovery to flash ROM's and without using ODIN was the difficult part.
ROM manager to flash CWM Recovery gives error signature verification failed as you are still on Samsung Android Recovery 3e.
3. I downloaded the InitialCFRootFlasher.zip from the 2nd post of Chainfire's thread in galaxy note forum [22.11.2011][CF-Root 5.0] KJ1/4/6, KK1/9/A - su+bb+CWM5 - xda-developers
4. Extract the above downloaded file where you will remember.
5. Download the CF Root Kernel for your respective device. Instructions on the thread itself for which Kernel to download. In my case I downloaded from Chainfire's SGS2 root thread CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip
6. Extract the downloaded CF-Root kernel till you get a zIMAGE file.
7.Place the zImage file from the CF-Root kernel in the zImage folder from InitialRootFlasher
- Start "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
8. If all went you will have root+CWM Recovery +CWM Manager . No binary counter increase, no ODIN..
Once again its Chainfire and DooMlord's method no credits to me, just posting this if somebody has problems installing CWM recovery and CWM manager as I had trouble after gaining root from DoomLord's method.
You could have just done a google search for this ..

I think this is a CWM recovery you can flash from stock recovery. Let me know if it helps.
