Recovery is baked into the kernel. If you flash a recovery separate from the kernel, it will only persist until the next reboot. If you want a specific version of CWM, you're going to need to run a kernel that has it if you want it permanently.

So replace the kernel? , can you give a link ?

Go read the kernel threads in the two development sections.

Either:
- download a stock ROM from Intratech's ROM thread in the dev section and flash via Odin
- download CF-Root matching your current kernel version - this will give you CWM recovery back! (so you could restore a backup you maybe made using CWM)
hi im a bit of a noob but pls could you send me some sort of link for this method thanks

[Q] CWM touch recovery?

Hi, I've got a GSII, it has LPQ ROM and it's rooted via CF-Root.
It has a CWM v5.0.2.7.
How to install CWM touch recovery?
Thanks!
I'd recommend Siyah Kernel found here. Alpha 7 is the most up to date and suppots LPQ.
I saw that but I don't want to change my kernel at the moment...
From ROM manager....scroll to the bottom of the main page. It gives you the option to flash the touch recovery.

U can install touch cwm but it will disappear after reboot, you need kernel with it

Flash one fom rom manager but it is preferred 5.5.04 1.5 from chainfire using odin. The way you rooted your phone.

This is the non touch version...
I've just restored a back up from 6.0.1.2 in tar mode with no problems. Have you tried switch backup modes to avoid using the Blobs folder

help with basic rooting and flashing roms

hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.

Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
Cheers.

Hi
Before, rename your post name. Not correct, use "[PHONE MODEL][PROBLEM TYPE (here Custom ROM)] Freeze on boot.img flashing".
Thanks.

No need to root to either flash CWM or a Custom rom..
just flash CWM via recovery mode and then flash a custom rom via CWM...
thank you,
