I'm on 9300XXUFME7 – Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
I haven't installed any custom recovery yet.
But i want to install philz advanced cwm or ClockworkMod Recovery
I heard that philz advanced cwm is the best
I have a few questions so plz help me
1. Which Recovery is the Best ?
2. Does installing a custom Recovery void Warranty ?
3. How do i uninstall a custom Recovery and revert back to stock Recovery ?
4. Does flashing Rom's uninstall custom recovery ? (Like flashing un-root our device )
5. Does Rooting is mandatory to install a custom Recovery ?
6. Does Custom Recovery is mandatory to install Custom Rom's ?

1. Which Recovery is the Best ?
=> not allowed to ask , but select one that includes a SDS fix e.g. Philz
2. Does installing a custom Recovery void Warranty ?
=> I would guess so
3. How do i uninstall a custom Recovery and revert back to stock Recovery ?
=> flash a stock ROM, or try to find a flashable stock recovery zip
4. Does flashing Rom's uninstall custom recovery ? (Like flashing un-root our device )
=> only if flashing a stock ROM that includes the stock recovery, custom roms usually don't include one.
5. Does Rooting is mandatory to install a custom Recovery ?
=> not sure about that as you also can flash roms without root via Odn
6. Does Custom Recovery is mandatory to install Custom Rom's ?
=> not 100% sure, whereas see (5). custom recoveries nevertheless will give you more options to e.g. backup

see answers above.
Just to add to the above regarding 5 and 6.
5) You do not need root to flash a recovery. Just Odin. You can flash a recovery then flash a custom ROM directly without having to root your stock android rom.
5) Most custom ROMs are .zips for recovery. Its rare you find an Odin flashable custom ROM. Sometimes the early versions of Leaked samsung ROMs are Odin flashable and rooted but that doesn't really count.
Can anyone provide me a link to Flashable Stock recovery zip ??
So, If i flash my phone with I9300XXUFME7 – Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Do i get my stock recovery back ?
I would recommend flashing via odin. You can get stock recovery from any stock rom or cf autoroot.

As rootSU said every stock ROM has it. If you got mobile Odin you can select the zip and just eject the recovery partition I suppose. This will enable you to just flash the recovery without Rom.

meaning - can I just inter recovery (without odin) > and just flash a new rom + rtl ?
or the root is the thing that letting me do that from the first place ?
THX
You dont need root to flash anything.
Use odin.
(do some reading before attempting though & dont rush your first flash - be sure on everything!)
Good luck.

If you want to flash a custom ROM via recovery, you'll need to have CWM recovery. The Samsung stock recovery won't work. You won't get CWM recovery without root, so yes, you do need root if you want to flash custom ROM via recovery, or you can just use Odin to flash any stock or Odin compatible custom ROM. For Odin, you do not need root.
Hi, I have a Galaxy S2 with stock ROM 4.0.3 and stock Recovery. I wanted to know if there is a way of flashing Custom Rom without rooting the phone or ADB. Would this method work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 I would just proceed till the step "Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear." Would this work? i need custom recovery so i can flash a custom ROM.
Thanks again
No you cant flash a Custom ROM from stock recovery, you need a custom recovery and root access on your phone for flashing custom roms
the method you linked is only for rooting, the recovery appearing is only a temporory one from which you can only install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip.

I didn't test it myself, but I think that it will work.
If the custom ROM is provided as Odin-flashable tar file, you don't need a CWM recovery to flash it. Just put the ROm tar file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone.
Only if the custom ROM is available as CWM-flashable zip file, you need to flash a kernel containing CWM recovery first.
I prefer to flash CF-Root kernel from Chainfire with Odin. It contains CWM Manager app and CWM recovery of cause.
When you are in doubt, stick to the flashing instructions of the ROM developer - usually in the corresponding ROM thread.
P.S.:
As soon as you have CWM recovery, create a nandroid/system backup.
So you will be able to go back to your current system, if something goes wrong with the new ROM.
Good luck !
Oh cool, lemme try it

All you need to do is download cwm recovery from here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager in your SD card and flash the Dowloaded zip from stock recovery .
Once you flash, your stock recovery will be converted to cwm recovery
After that flash any custom rom of your choice. Simple and short

No you can flash any ROM you want, just like any other cwm.
I have used it multiple times, but the Queston is can you do it the first time, before you choose that busy box installer.
Edit: yes you can flash any rom just fine
Pressed quote twice..

exactly that is the step you asked about, will not work.....
I can confirm it works.....
Flashed new dx9 after full wipe.
From recovery choose the cwm zip
From that touch cwm flashed aosp rom.
So it works just fine.

thanks a lot man.
er no you dont need root....
1. Download any version of CWM from here
2. Get desired rom (kernel too if you want)
3. Place everything in Externel SDcard
4. Boot into stock recovery (Power+Home+Vol up)
5. Use stock recovery to flash CWM
6. Backup Current stock rom
7. Wipe the usual
8. Flash Custom rom (Or just kernel)
9. Reboot
10. ?? Profit ??
Now you got Custom rom or Kernel + Full stock rom backup (can always get stock rom from sammobile if you lose it)

Ok, but I figure if your going to flash a Custom Rom you might aswell be rooted.
well i just rooted my phone using method 1 of universal root method i.e: using stock recovery for updating supersu. well my question is after i do the temporary cwm is it ok to intall a custom rom from there ? or i have to do the cf_root for custom rom ?

Yes, aslong as you have cwm you can then flash zip of your choice. The zip will also flash new kernel which has perm cwm.
Depending on which rom you flash, afterwards I would then go back into recovery (cwm) and flash Siyah kernel.

Thanx case solved even though the rom didnt work i know it takes abt 5-10 mins after new rom bt it took more then 20 and it didnt go past the new boot image.. Ill try a new rom
I recently got a friend's GS2 (i9100T) which has stock JB 4.1.2 on it.
The friend has no idea what other roms and versions were installed on the device.
He wants me to root, install recovery and a custom rom (like CM or AOKP).
I've heard that depending on whether or not 4.0.4 was installed at some point on the phone, I could brick it if i wipe data in CWM during the above process. What precautions should I take to make sure I don't brick it?
(again, currently installed jb 4.1.2, I want to root, install recovery and then flash a custom rom).
Thanks
First of all take a nandroid backup (search around xda)
To root your device go Here read instruction, download philz same as your device model (PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery (i9100T))
flash via stock recovery.

1. Do I have to root before I flash this kernel/recovery or will flashing it make me rooted anyway?
2. I assume that after installing this kernel/recovery I can then flash whatever ROM I want (in CWM) and safely do wipe?
Thanks

You are going to root your device right? so flash via recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
after flashing this kernel your device have CWM recovery and superuser,
Yes you can flash costom rom that is compatible with your device model (i9100T).

Great, thanks. I don't really care about rooting at this point, all I wanted was to (safely) get the phone to have CWM+non-dangerous-kernel so I can easily flash CM or AOKP (which are default-rooted anyway).
You've been helpful, thank you.
You say you're on 4.1.2 now? Don't stress at all about the brickbug. It only affects ICS 4.0.4 with the stock kernel (or any kernel which hasn't disabled mmc_cap_erase). So you're not brickbug susceptible at all. Only if you're on 4.0.4 do you need to worry about it. Doesn't matter if that's been on there in the past, if it's not on there currently, it can't affect you.
