1- If you are asking about "how to install a 4.4 custom ROM for your i9100, you need CWM 6.0.4.6 or 6.0.4.7, and the recovery can do the rest for you in terms of flashing and all.
2- If you are looking for a KitKat Compatible recovery, I would rather advise you doing some searching or simply googling "CWM-6.0.4.7-I9100.zip" and downloading it to your SD card in order to flash it.
However, the only way to install the new Kitkat based firmwares for the i9100 imply you to use the latest CWM (or TWRP latest) in order to have support for metadata, and if I didn't answer your question, simply be more specific (your current ROM, OS version, Kernel... etc)

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need to install only a recovery, because a custom rom brings ROOT. I'll use ODIN, where I can find recoverys in tar format, because the one I have, is the site of ClockworkMod and is in zip.
Thanks to all.

why do you need a recovery if you are not going to install custom roms. You already have the stock recovery to whatever you are going to do

Lol, you must know that CWM is integrated into the kernel, so if you need CWM you must install a custom kernel(insecure kernel) having CWM, and all custom kernels are made to enable rooting, trying to push CWM into stock kernel(secure kernel) is pretty dangerous and you might brick your phone, and stock has its on recovery mode which you can use. Anyway before performing any wipe or factory reset check whether if you have super brick bug if you are running ICS 4.0.4, and stupid question or not try including more details about your phone.

Ok.
Before anything thanks.
I want to install a CUSTOM ROM, like cyanogem, slim bean, etc. So your idea is install a kernel, but I can install recovery and then custom rom, right?
And this insecure kernel, can you give me the link to download?
Thanks.
P.S. - My SII have Gingerbread 2.3.5. original, I don't have touch in nothing.

I can't seem to find a straight answer on how to get CWM on my player. I sort of retired my SGP 4.0 USA version from main use and want to use it for testing roms and stuff. I see all kinds of things on how to root however I installed a pre rooted stock rom on my player however I go into recovery and it says android system recovery. Is this like CWM or will I need to get cwm somewhere else. If someone could please clear all this up for my I would be very greatful
Recovery is not separate in this device, it is part of the main ROM. So your recovery will change based on whatever ROM you are running. This is typical of most Samsung devices.

So how would I install a custom rom on this device coming from a stock rooted rom? Like if I wanted to try CM 10 or 11?
All tutorials I have come across assume already having CWM

Odin/heimdall will install the boot image with recovery embedded. I don't really have more details as it's been ages since mine saw stock. Perhaps you can read up on it or someone else can help.

No just use Odin for the kernel, which includes the recovery. Then boot into recovery and do the install. Note that the cm11 kernel surely won't boot stock so you must go straight into recovery.

I just want to install Philz CMW6 on my I9100G so I can install a kitkat custom ROM; I have been facing problems with this, I tried many ROMs ( CM11 unofficial, SuperNexus, SlimRom, OmniROM .. ) but I failed everytime, I realized that my CWM was not suitable. So I started looking for it I found a good thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 after installing the CWM it goes right installing ROMs but got stuck into bootloop.
So, if someone can give me the .tar.md5 file I can flash using Odin or maybe another thing to take care of.
Thank you

Try this steps:
1. Use the method in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701) to flash JB stock + root. note that it's better to flash the kernel via recovery after it's on your external sd-card or sideload with adb. This way you don't get the triangle warning and no binary count.
2. Download the kitkat compatible CWM from here: (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip)
3. Flash the CWM and reboot to recovery (advanced -> reboot recovery)
4. Flash your Kitkat rom (with all the necessary wipes of course )

I tried this but I got stuck on boot again, and knowing that the CWM that you gived don't work :/ ( my model is I9100G I think that this is the reason ).
I have read somewhere that maybe the wipe data / factory reset is the source of problem. I am not sure where I am doing wrong
thanks

Hi again!
I flashed stock ROM 4.1.3 and my phone's is going good. but I'm having troubles to go back to CM I don't see what the problem is but I think to change the phone, maybe it's enough for it

No you cannot but the fastest way to get from stock 4.1.2 to Kitkat 4.4 is to
1. Download this into external SDcard
2. Download my recovery and what ever ROM+Files you need into internal/external
3. Flash first file in stock recovery
4. Flash my recovery, reboot back into recovery
5. Wipe data+cache (factory reset)
6. Flash the ROM+Files
7. Reboot

@Grift, must say have been following your work/posts for sometime now and find/enjoy the way you can explain a lot of ( detail ) clearly without using many too English words. haha.
Thank you very much for this post & code CWM kk compatible.
foot note/tip. upgrade/flash Direct from ICS404 to KKat is possible But the user Must Format /system /data /cache within CWM Kkat as normal factory reset doesn't work for such a big version jump.(my thoughts/theory only).
Usual warning Nandroid backup First as all Rom data Lost doing it this way.
Copy of request below if possible. @Grift. If possible can you release a Temporary version of your (CWM kitkat with out kernel).
Similar to what Philz was releasing for GT i9100.
Reason for request. Is at moment Dorimanx kernel has older cwm. So when I flash permanent CWM kk compatible then re-flash Dori it can break 2nd ROM boot access/entry.
Therefore if possible a Temp version of what you are doing/releasing would be Perfect for my & others dualboot kitkat problems.
Thanks in advance bmad.

I believe you do need the sources. From what I see you work on the Desire HD (Ace) ? Either you download the sources and compile from there or you can try Koush's CWM builder ( just search CWM builder on google ). As for source code Cm10.2 source can be upwards of 10GB easily. For the DHD im not sure if you guys have official CM11 source?

We've got unofficial builds of cm11, and most devs have release pretty stable device and kernel trees. Thanks, 10GB isn't bad at all, but will it require me to setup my Build Environment differently?

I'm running cwm version 5.8.1.5 and on stock rom 4.1.2. I am thinking of upgrading to 4.4.2. So can u just explain how to proceed with the recovery installation?
Okay can anyone help me? My odin 3.09 while flashing cwm 6.0.2.9 said reset instead of pass. Then phone turned off. After that I can only access download mode and it shows flash counter 2 times. Any help? Was running stock 4.1.2 rooted.

Hey guys,
My SGS2 just got soft-bricked, stuck on samsung logo. I didn't do nothing actually, just restarted my phone.
I have rooted phone with stock OS (latest one) on it a long time ago.
I can enter into recovery mode. Tried to wipe data with no luck.
BUT I want to make a backup. I read that if I install CWM recovery I will be able to mount USB storage to make backups. Is it possible to backup contacts using USB?
I also read that on SGS2 devices CWM will update OS's kernel so I will have to install new OS. Is it true?
Anyway, is it possible to make a full backup in this case?

"A recovery is a kernel and a kernel is a recovery"
If your current OS supports the new kernel then there won't be a need to install a new OS.

How to check if my OS supports new kernel?
What is more important is that if I install CWM breaking my current ROM and make a full backup will I be able to restore this backup on new ROM?
I ask this because I found the following warning:
"Warning: For GT-i9100 and SGH-i777, installing CWM or TWRP recovery also installs kernel. This is only recommended to install when installing a new custom ROM. Installing CWM/TWRP recovery will most likely break the ROM you are running currently as it overwrites the ROM’s kernel."

Simple. Just read the information provided by the threads. If you are on official jelly bean, use Apolo Kernel 4.15b or Siyah Kernel (Although this is outdated now). For Lollipop, you can either use DorimanX kernel 11.0 or CM12.1 kernel with TWRP by Lysergic acid (If you want to use CM12.1). For kitkat, you can use DorimanX kernel 10.45 by Me or 10.44 by Cybernetus, Gustavo kernel (make sure you install KK version) or Apolo Kernel 7.3.

It depends on what ROM you are using. If you install the correct kernel, the ROM will not break at all.

Hi! Is there any way to check the version of ROM I use on this phone? Maybe from recovery mode?
P.S.: I used latest OS which came through official update on SGS2 in Europe. It was something like 4.2.3 or 4.3.3.
If it was the last/latest/final official update, it would have been 4.1.2 Jellybean.....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Hm... That's strange... I was pretty sure I had 4.3.3 .
OK, let's imagine I install CWM with newer kernel breaking my ROM... what if I install older version after that? Will my ROM be back to work?
It *might* well be ok.....but having never intentionally installed the wrong kernel, I'm not going to stake my life on that as I have ZERO experience of that scenario....

Stock 4.3.3 doesn't exist
Samsung only provided android version 4.1.2 as the last version.
If you install a older kernel after flashing the wrong kernel, your ROM should work again. Once again, the "older" kernel needs to be the correct version for the ROM.
If you do install the wrong kernel, your ROM will not boot and will either give you black screen or bootloop or phone constantly rebooting. So you need to quickly get to the recovery using the button combinations.
