I need some pointers here. I have a rooted and unlocked note 2 Verizon. First and foremost my hates off to all the devs for all of there hard work, and a special thank you to Mr. Adam Outlet for making it so very easy to root and unlock with his casual one click. Question 1 I have clockwork mod installed on my note and I also have TWRP Installed how do I switch recoveries I want to go back with TWRP but I'm not sure how. Question 2 I'm having trouble flashing ROM cm 10.1 do I have to use Odin? I recently flashed the following via cwm Sons of Android 4.2.2 kernel 3.0.70-soapkernel.base still at i605VRALL4 Can I change the base if so how or should I just leave the base alone?:good: If anyone can help me out shoot me an email [email protected]
First of all to switch recoveries especially to twrp you should download an app called goo manager. Install the recovery through its options and it will install the latest twrp for you. Very simple to do.
As for a rom you do not flash via odin. You could brick your device if you do. Only use the recovery (twrp or cwm) to flash after unlocking the bootloader.

You can go here http://teamw.in/project/twrp and download twrp for your device then flash it through recovery also.
how to switch from cwm back to twrp i605
I know not to use Odin to flash ROMs its just particular ROMs that I'm having trouble flashing like cm 10.1 etc... I have too manager already installed on my i605. OK when I open cwm recovery at the top I click on recovery set up then @ the bottom its showing recoveries already installed cwm and twrp when I click on twrp it says ROM manager has been set up to use your existing recovery when I boot into recovery it asks are you sure that you want to boot into twrp and I click yes then after it boots it takes me to cwm recovery. What am I doing wrong?
question
When downloading twrp do I download the image or tar or the zip?

Download the ZIP, put it on your SD card, and then flash it through whatever recovery you are currently using. Simple as that.
This is what i used when i needed to learn how to fiddle with the note2. Its at galaxynote2root dot com Its a really good tutorial shows you everything you need to know.

OK, I've looked just about EVERYWHERE and I can't find an answer to this. I even posted on Koushid Dutta's Google+ page but I haven't gotten a response.
I've got an SGS2 on Bell Canada. I'm running Resurrection Remix ICS Rom 9.7. I cannot for the life of me get CWM TOUCH recovery to install on the device. It always defaults to either the stock recovery or the basic CWM recovery. I've tried installing it through ROM Manager. The app says that CWM Touch Recovery has "been successfully flashed." But, alas, when I reboot into recovery, it's either the stock recovery or the basic CWMR. So, then I searched for and found a flashable zip file for CWM Touch Recovery to be flashed in CWM. It flashed beautifully with no errors. But, again, the Touch Recovery was nowhere to be found and it was just the plain old CWM non-touch recovery.
Please help! Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Just try the new alpha Siyah kernel, touch recovery included! Done!!

Don't use Rom Manager to flash recovery if you've installed the touch recovery. It will just soft brick your phone and send you into infinte bootloop. Once you flash just use Chainfire's CWM. It should work fine
If you have a question why would you post it in the development section? It doesn't make sense when there is a dedicated Q&A sectio
Yesterday I flashed my SGS2 to CM9 and MIUI v4. After flasinhg this ROMs I flashed touch recovery from CWM Recovery Mod (install zip from sdcard).
Install this zip from recovery mode.

It's a question about development and use of CWMR. It's not a basic question like, "how do I darken my screen?"

Again, it doesn't work. I just flashed the touch recovery zip file from within CWM, rebooted, and then booted into recovery using Chainfire, which is what I usually do anyway. I've still got CWM-Based recovery v5.0.2.7. :-(

I don't think that kernel supports ICS-based ROMs yet, at least from my searching. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838

TBH I'm a bit surprised that this thread is still here. And while I understand your frustration, there simply one thing you've misunderstood.
UNLIKE your Xoom / GNexus...
The kernel and recovery are 'linked' in SGS2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246131
So, unless the kernel you are trying to use actually includes a touch based recovery - and it seems that the latest SiyahKernel which does support the ICS LPQ build now - you can't flash a separate recovery alone.
So you are...um... were, out of luck I guess (assuming that the new SiyahKernel does included a touch based CWM).
Mods, please remove this thread out of the dev section please. Thank you.
Thanks folks for all your help. The Siyah kernel alpha works and has created the Touch recovery. It appears to be a modified version of the touch with arrows and buttons on the bottom, but it's still better than using the rocker. THANKS!
I was only wondering if this was available since we can't flash recovery images on the opposite recovery. I have made a recovery image in TWRP but have not gone so far to not just flash CWM and make a recovery image that will serve as my new point zero. Just curious since I only saw flashable CWM.

the link you gave to TWRP recovery was exactly what i was looking for. In the TWRP website they have a flashable option for TWRP to use in whatever existing recovery you have, that is CWM for us. Under droidstyle's guide (there's the thread also in dev section too for CWM) there is also a link for flashable CWM so now im set.
Although you already found what you were looking for, you can also download/run the goo manager app, press menu->install open recovery script. That will install TWRP.

I was hoping this way would let me get out but Ive now lost any custom recovery while in paranoid android. So what i did was while in Jelly Beans rom is flash CWM recovery to then flash Paranoid. I then decided to go back to beans, and i tried to flash TWRP zip that i has to restore my recovery. That failed an i have no recovery. I only have android system recovery <3e>. I am currently trying the goo manager to get me back, but so far i dont think im doing it right ill keep trying.
...So with goo manager i cant flash back to beans, i cant flash CWM back on, and ive: installed open recovery script to to install the TWRP img file but it must not have worked, but i cant see anything to indicate not.
Ok so im am stuck with just the stock recovery. In goo manager it says the recovery was installed but if is reboot to recovery its just crappy old boring stock and if i try to flash anything from goo manager it just reboots to that same stock recovery. Anyone know how to get a custom recovery back?

The TWRP in goo manager is not the correct one for our phone. I did the same thing and ended up in the same position as you. I used the suckitverizon file from Adams thread and odined it back on to the phone. If was in that position now I would use the newly released tool kit.
Good luck.

Im downloading the toolkit now but in the meantime did you have to restart the whole process in the 3 step bootloader unlock or did you just start at flashing suckitverizon version 2 in odin? Im just wondering how safe that is.

No I did not have to start over. If I recall correctly, I put the suckit file in the pda box and hit start. You can read up on it in Adams main thread and I know there were a few other people in the same fix.
Good luck
Toolkit saved my bacon. Many lessons learned. so if i want to restore an image in twrp say from paranoid then i use cwn to flash to a rom that plays nice with twrp then flash twrp back then recover in twrp. Now if i get stuck the toolkit has the correct twrp and cwm for the verizon note ii.
spoke too soon i though at least getting cwm was all good. However the toolkit wont install TWRP which is what i have my backups made on. i followed all the step on screen and selected sch-i605 to be flashed in odin. I can only reboot into stock recovery afterwards. :crying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051992 This has been asked (by me) and answered (by awesome folks with more sense than me).
ok it all over. CWM can be had by flashing zip in twrp or through tool kit. twrp i only regained by odining again the suckitverizon from Adam's unlockbootloader thread.
Hey,
As i don't have enough posts i have to make thread in to this silly Q&A board.
1. I have completely stock p4 (p7500) tablet with 4.0.4 android. I am wondering
is it possible to install he's/her's rom directly without rooting or do i have to
flash some other recovery with Odin before i can install recommended TWRP
recovery.
2. As the tablet is completely stock i haven't rooted it, but as with all tablet tutorials
they always flash some recovery with Odin before rooting. With stock recovery
i get these errors.
"Unknown volume path for /sdcard" so i simply can't install recovery from original named zip file.
Mr. google doesn't really help with the subject
When trying to
<code>
adb push twrp.zip /sdcard/update.zip
</code>
It simply says that action is denied, probably because i haven't rooted the tablet.
Instructions on dev forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777161
are quite short and doesn't say anything about coming from stock rom/recovery.
So is it possible to do this straight from stock recovery or do i have to pull some
fancypancies before i can use desired recovery / rom.
Waiting for reply.

Pottumaa

First flash custom recovery(twrp) with odin. Then using your custom recovery flash your root.zip or whatever the rooting zip file is named. That will get your tab rooted. But you should be able to install your custom rom with just the custom recovery installed as the rom is already rooted.

So really only way is to flash custom recovery with Odin. After that rooting is kind of useless,
most rom installation scripts have root access or superuser integrated.
And no developer doesn't provide recovery that is flashable via odin so that's why i was asking
if it is even possible to do from stock recovery.
Any experience of using heimdall with p4?

Finally straight answer. Yes, very happy.
Just for the record they can be flashed through stock recovery. Little harder than expected, but possible.
When mounted you can get to root folder and simply rename your zip file to update.zip and place it
in to /sdcard/ directory. In my case internal storage of the phone was found at /mnt/sdcard/.
Should also work if update.zip is placed in to /cache/ directory of the phone.

Sorry about posting this on here its just I cant post it on the candy ROMs fourm as I do not have the privliges or something but the questions I have is how to I get rid of cyogen recovery and go back to the dual boot one with TWRM and the other one which I have forgotten and how do I turn on find my Sony on this ROM as I have no idea where it is
Thanks for the help
You don't get Sony apps in non Sony ROM
To get your desired recovery you could check out the twrp thread, or one of the apps that will update your recovery without the need of a computer.

Goto the playstore and get rashr, give it root access.
It should bring up twrp and philz recovery. Pick one, flash, follow on screen instructions. Reboot done. If no recovery shows up you can also flash a. .IMG file
You can also use twrp manager in the play store and flash NuTs flashable zip.
Hi,
I have the i9100 device. I just flashed Samsung's default Stock ROM on it, using ODIN and it is booting.
I want to know how to install root and then TWRP on this now?
The problem is, TWRP is only releasing an IMAGE file and not a zip or a tar file.
How do I flash this IMAGE into my recovery partition? What is the recommended way of doing it. None of these tutorials are explaining this to me.
Do I have to install CWM first? I am confused. If you can give me a step-by-step overview of what to do, that would be great.
Thanks

Hi,
What I am planning to do tomorrow is
a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives me root and CWM recovery
b) Then go into CWM recovery, and flash the IsoRec_TWRP_3.0.0-0_i9100.zip - Will this work?
c) Then I go to TWRP recovery, and then install REPIT, then CM ROM, and then Gapps-pico.
- How this deviates from your quote is;
a) Why do I need the philz cwm 6 Kernel (root).zip ? Is this a pre-req for CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip ?
b) Why flash the cm 11 20161222.zip if I am going with the latest CM 12+ later?

Hi zetret
I prefer philz because it is a save kernel (can be done in many other ways like yours)
For flashing twrp3 you need isorec kernel otherwise twrp will not show up.
That's why I use cm11 which has isorec kernel.
And I can there also use triangle away ( doesn't work on latest builds).
and because large roms like cm 13/14 and I think cm12 with large gapps cannot be installed right away because installation will get stuck.
that's why I install cm11 as step in between to increase partitions first.
You do not have to boot cm11 - boot just twrp to continue.
There are many ways to do all this (could flash isorec kernel.....)
to me it's a simple and clean way without using pc

@zetret
I'm replying to you here because it is getting OT in the other threads
The best advise I can give(and one of the core rules of XDA) is start searching in XDA, searching on the internet for the answers to your questions. This site is not for spoon-feeding everyone who is new to this.
But to try to clear up a couple of things:
The original kernel partition in the S2(i9100) "housed" the kernel and recovery together. This is why when you install an older kernel(pre isorec) you are over-writing both the kernel and recovery. So if the kernel is not compatible with the rom, then you will get a bootloop if you try to boot into the system. You can still use this recovery however. You need to decide if you are flashing the kernel to use the kernel to boot the rom OR use the recovery even if the kernel is no good to you.
Isorec changed this. Instead of using the bundled recovery in the kernel(it is still there), you are using the new isorec recovery in the previously unused recovery partition(once you have flashed it there). Once you have flashed the isorec recovery it will stay there. No need to flash it again. An isorec kernel is needed to recognize and boot the isorec recovery, otherwise the bundled recovery will be used.
Please use the search function in future. This is only spoon-feeding I will give.
I apologize. These steps only work if there current Kernel you have is "isorec" compatible. For the Kernel that I had on one of my devices, I went to its thread, and searched for "isorec" and there was no mention of it - which apparently here means that it is not compatible.
If you don't have a Kernel that is isorec compatible, please follow the suggestion offered below, and get to an "isorec" compatible Kernel like 'Siyah-Dorimanx-V8.70-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE-DRAGON-TRIM". I will try this and update this thread later.

@zetret
so you still think it is not rude to say about me:
"Just ignore the other guy. He does not know what he is talking about"
(and you gave wrong advice at the same time)
and in Lanchon isorec thread you said also to me in post 546:
"........You have also shown no understanding of what isosrec means......"
So this is coming from you, a person who had at this time not even the basic knowledge about isorec
only by asking in lanchons thread NOW you found out about the need of isorec compatible kernel.
(which i already told you BEFORE in post 4).p
Now you keep in Lanchons thread complaining and blaiming others why you did not know and unterstand isorec.
You should really show some respect for people here like @the.gangster who is giving the community a lot of support and detailed knowledge in many posts.
For future...
To anyone reading in the future, this is just an overview of what to do.
#: Backup your contacts and photos to your laptop.
a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives you root and CWM recovery
b) Now, backup your current (Android 4.1.2+root) and reboot to recovery
- If at any point, anything fails, you can restore this and start again.
c) Wipe everything (Factory reset+cache)
d) Install CWM version (philz_touch_6.25.0-i9100.zip) for i9100 from here (https://mega.nz/#F!oZ1QDDbC!Ko20UNhowwIlXLVFjJsyKw!lR9AARIa)
- This upgrades your CWM and is apparently a step needed to get to TWRP.
e) Install any IsoRec compatible Android custom ROM and don't reboot
- Check this for more info: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nofficial-i9100-cyanogenmod-11-build-t3405634)
f) Install a compatible TWRP file that some people have packaged as a ZIP! If you go to the official downloads folder, you will ONLY find an IMAGE file and for new users, we don't know what to do with that.
- Search for something like recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-TWRP-3.0.2-1-i9100.zip
g) Reboot to recovery
h) You should be able to see TWRP now!
i) Now, you can install Lanchon's REPIT. If you need more help - follow wonderful guides like this to get everything up and running -

__b) For ROM installation: http://highonandroid.com/android-ho...-marshmallow-rom-using-twrp-failproof-method/
j) Thanks! and if I missed some steps and made it difficult to understand, please correct me. I failed many times and wrote this from my memory and therefore, some things may be missing.
Also, the first three steps above may not be necessary. For some reason, Step 'd' failed for me initially from Stock Rom and I had to do step 'a', but this may not be the case for you. Having that backup in Step 'b' is worth it.

To anyone reading in the future, this is just an overview of what to do.

a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives you root and CWM recovery
b) Now, backup your current (Android 4.1.2+root) and reboot to recovery

I'd still recommend you to follow either post #2 or this one which is slightly outdated but still valid. Only syntax of repit.zip changed (needs units now) and the IsoRec-twrp in step 7 is meanwhile available as version 3.0.2-1. But if you read both, you should be able to succeed.
Hi, you cannot flash it straight,
so you can follow my step-by-step tutorial for flashing Recovery +/- ROM and +/- reformat.

I figured this one out
To use Philz CWM 6, do I have to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.x? Or will it work with 5.0.1?
