[Q] How to boot into TWRP instead of CWM? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone ..
I want to flash the latest Omega 4.4.2 rom and the developer strongly recommends to install TWRP recovery. I already have CWM recovery so I installed TWRP recovery using GooManager and it did tell me that it was successfully installed, but whenever I try to reboot into recovery, it goes to CWM instead!
Can anyone please help?

You could search it, but I 'll tell you how.
1. Use Odin to flash CWM recovery over the stock recovery
2. Download the zip file to install supuersu or superuser via CWM
3. Boot into recovery and flash the zip file

Did you boot the phone into download mode before using Odin to flash CWM? If you did that try using a different USB port, reinstall drivers for note, or try running Odin in admin mode.

[Q] Installing TWRP on Unrooted Note

How can I install TWRP on my unrooted Note? and Which is the easiest way to install it?
Searching through the forums I haven't found any specific instructions but if I've read correctly it seems that through ODIN is the easiest way.
Where can I get the latest ODIN for the Note i717?
Could someone be so kind to provide some instructions and links?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You don't need to be rooted to flash a rom or install a recovery. Root is for access to the system files of the rom after it boots and loads.

How can I install a recovery without having to root my phone first? What's the procedure
All the instructions I've found require the Note to rooted first.
Rom already on sdcard.
Recovery tar in Odin.
Flash recovery with Odin
Boot into new recovery and flash rom.
Rom will be rooted once booted.
Bingo, the EASIEST way th go from bones stock to custom rom.

thanks for this , man..my wife's Note was never rooted, and she wants it done, so I will try this way..
sounds waaaaay too easy though!
I didn't mention that that this method will trip the flash counter
As I don't give one care about what my flash counter says unless I get a hardware defect within my year of ownership I didn't mention that before.
There are ways to reset it so don't even worry about until the day comes where you need to.
And just where do we find the TWRP. tar...... That we flash with Odin.....
All I see is how to Install TWRP using
GOO MANAGER..... And that requires root..
Which the OP doesn't want to do....
Thanks...

flash the CWM tar first, and after you go through all the other steps, and are rooted, download and install TWRP..
Like the above poster said, but skip the root step. So CWR using Odin and occasionally, then TWRP by using CWR, done.
Ok..... So we need the CWR.tar, for Odin...
Any links please?
Then.... We need the TWRP file to put on our SD...
Any link to the TWRP too please?
Thanks for all your help...
In keeping the OP's note un-rooted...
See the super everything thread. The tar file is there. The TWRP zip is in the original development thread.
Hey guys. Thanks for the responses.
I see that some of you are recommending to odin CWR and then use CWR to flash TWRP.
On the TWRP page there is this link to the following page http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/ which has the different TWRP files and there is a TWRP .tar file. File name: openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-quincyatt.img.tar
Can I just odin the above file instead of odin CWR first?
Where can I find the latest ODIN? I've looked for downloads but haven't found it. A link would be much appreciated.
Once again, thanks.

please learn how to use google...
http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/
good question.....
coul;dnt he just Odin the TWRP .tar alone??
And skip the Odin CWR all together??
PS... Thanks for the direct Link to the Latest Odin!!!!
Yup
As long as its a .tar and contains a recovery.img whichever you choose is just that, your choice.

You can download the zip file here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552655
Then reboot into recovery. Then flash the zip like you would any other. When you reboot to recovery, you will have a new recovery.

See my above instructions. It is a zip file that you flash in recovery so there is no Odin involved.

Ok thank you so much for putting in the work
First I downloaded Flashify app, did you know the app comes with twrp, cwm 6.0.4.6 touch, and Philz. Tried all three the device boot looped trying to boot into all the recoveries. Had to pull the battery, and start over. Next I tried to the to recoveries I made with Flashify same result. Then I tried to flash PhilZ 6.12.9 hltespr .tar and the original copy of cwm 6.0.4.6 touch .img with Flashify no go. I figured maybe Flashify is the problem, so I used odin on my PC and tried the two recoveries I made, and got the same result, a boot loop on trying to boot into recovery mode. Odin doesn't recognize the cwm 6.0.4.6 touch .img. But I don't think that is the problem, even though the download says its for sprint note 3 its not compatible. I'm running NC5 stock rooted, with Philz CWM 6.12.9 hltespr which has been bulletproof, maybe cwm 6.0.4.6 touch is out dated, most of the posts on the site appear to be from last year ?

You could give this a try, here is the link http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963 I flashed the recovery on the bottom " n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar " it's for Sprint devices to,
picked it up on Zedomax's site. I flashed it with odin works perfect, and it is full touch with menu keys on the bottom, so you don't use the device keys. You should be able to use mobile odin to install. It's the next version after 6.0.4.6 I think ?

Rooting withot using USB possible?

Hi guys,
isit possible to root the S2 from Stock without using a PC connection via USB? Because it won't be recognized. Drivers etc are correctly installed. It seems to be broken...
thx in advance
cheers
Use Framaroot apk. You'll find on XDA in Community Apps section
Giev thx pl0x c:

thank you! :good: Now is the question how can i install CWM to finally flash custom roms?
Just search the latest cwm recovery and put it on the root of your (Internal) SD card. Then flash it via recovery, worked for me

Here, flash the latest version in ODIN (download the .tar.md5 file of latest version) and select it under PDA in ODIN. Flash it then BOOM! (No explosion intended, but you get what I mean) Your phone should have custom recovery.

Thanks, but i can not install CWM via Standard recovery because the paket signature is not signed. So i guess Samsung prevented it...
@gsstudios Flashing via Odin is obviously not possible for me...But thank you.
Is there a solution how to install a unsigned paket through standard recovery?
You need PhilZ recovery, see this post and following :

Thank you! So i flash Philz and after that i can directly flash CWM over it? Because i need CWM or TWRP for my ROM
That's correct. Flash PhilZ first, then the specific recovery for your new Rom (search for the zip file, not the tar file).
Thanks mate, worked like a charm.
