thanks that was the awnser i was looking for
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

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.

I made a stock recovery on CWM...then later I got TWRP and I like it, but if I want my old recoveries I can't get to them. How can I create an option to boot one or the other when booting into recovery?
You will have to install CWM recovery back on the phone to install the CWM backups. Just keep the install file handy.
Can he get to CWM Recovery install from his new TWRP that comes up now when he boots into recovery??
I ask this, because I have(had) CWM and used it.. Then I went and installed TWRP.... and now it works.....
BUT my backup(nandroid) is CWM.....
and while using TWRP..I want to goto CWM and press install... and cannot find the CWM.zip (within TWRP)....
Do I have to goback to Odin and reinstall the CWM??? Where would it go??
Put the CWM install zip the same place you would place any *.zip files to install. TWRP should have no issue installing CWM.
thanks Ray... I did do this.. but TWRP doesn't recognize it.. Could it be because there is only the .tar inside the zip?? it's the zip I used for Odin... maybe I should use a different CWM zip.. I know there's quite a few.. thanks....
Yes... Odin files are not usable in recovery.
You need a zip made to use in recovery.

thanks! now im back to cwm touch
This may be a silly question but I cant find the answer. I have 6.0.4.3 CMW but I want to try touch is it as simple as downloading the zip and flashing it in recovery?

If you have clockworkmod recovery and are changing to cwm touch recovery or twrp or just an update, then yes it is as simple as flashing the new zip in recovery and rebooting to recovery to access your new recovery. I believe there is a post somewhere here about creating your own touch recovery using an outdated touch zip and an updated normal cwm (changing files in the zip). You may want to search that up but touch is hardly necessary for the time you spend in recovery.

Hello,
I want to install gapps but I can't flash them because I have the standard CM13 Recovery. How do I replace the CM13 Recovery with CWM? Or is there a better recovery menu?

I have the Samsung GT-I9100.
I have the same problem.
I have installed a TWRP over the the CM13 Recovery, but the TWRP does not find any partition, or file on my System. Even no OS.
So wanted to get back to my old PhilTouch Recovery, but the TWRP always overwrites the Philz Recovey.
I can use the old Philz Recovery only one time after flashing it new with Odin. After Boot the useless TWRP is back.
How can i delete the TWRP Recovery so that my old Philz Recovery will keep installed?
Cheers,
Foh
