I read that when you have 3e it doesn't allow you to have CWM. I can only access CWM through ROM manager. If I try to get to CWM with power and vol up, I always get into the default android recovery 3e which leads me to ask, how do I downgrade to 2e?
Are you sure you have a Photon 4G?
Positive

To get to Android recovery you need to press Vol down and power, then go through the fast boot menu by pressing Vol down about 5 times. It should now say Android recovery, press Vol up and it should go into cwm. Works every time for me

pwr+Vol up gives you rsd protocol or fast boot mode.depending on what state your phone is.. power + volume down gives you a few options starting with fast boot then scroll with vol dwn button and selecting with vol up button. On the photon. OP sounds strange as how he gets to recovery lol

then you don't have CWM installed. grab one of the listed ones from here http://www.motosunfire.com/clockworkmod-recovery/ and then install it via moto-fastboot or from the rom managers recovery. then you're good to go. highly recommended by everyone would be jokers v3 or v4 recovery.

if you have cwm installed on your phone and you goto recovery mode and it brings up the standard android recovery then your recovery will not allow cwm to run on your phone untill you downgrade the android recovery
when you goto recovery at the top you will probably see this android recovery (3) if so you need to download gingerbread and flash it with odin after that you should be good . i had the same problem as you and thats how i fixed it

Thanks. A very late reply and I just went with TWRP instead and had no problems. I'm getting the S4 today but I appreciate your answer and I'm sure it will help others in the future.
I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?
Anyone? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated

Sure... You can flash a rom immediately following the flash of cwm.... Did you also install busy box?
Which cwm are you trying to use? 5.8.4.7 seems to do me good....?

Before your phone boots after installing cwm in Odin do a battery pull then boot into recovery （Volume Up+Home+power) then flash your superuser/root package. It will stick then.

I tried using that CWM version as well as an older one. Both work and I can get busy box and superuser installed once it boots up. But when I power down and try to go back into recovery, CWM is gone. I do get to keep root though.

I tried unchecking the auto-reboot button on Odin 4 and 7, and going that route. Both allow me to get into CWM, where I try to flash the recovery v5.zip. Still doesn't stick unfortunately.
My flash counter is up to about 10 now, trying to get CWM to stick..

Thanks everyone. I used CWM toolkit, reflashed the stock recovery, then used odin 3.07 to re-flash CWM 5.5.0.4 and it stuck.
I'm running on SCH-I545 everytime I use Volume Up, Power, and Home button combo it attempts to go into recovery but instead it goes to Odin mode instead. I installed CWM correctly I believe through ROM Manager app and when I select to reboot into recovery through the app it does the same thing, When I do boot normally I don't see the custom symbol anymore but my root checker says I am rooted. Am I not rooted correctly. Is my bootloader not unlocked? Please help I really want to install a new rom but I'm still in stock touchwiz
You're doing it wrong.

You boot into downloader mode using Volume Down, Power, and Home.
You boot into recovery using Volume Up, Power, and Home.
Since you're booting into downloader mode, you're using the wrong volume button. Use the other one.
Or install Rom Manager or Quick Boot and use them to reboot into recovery.
Still nothing!

That is what I do but like I said it still goes into downloader even when I boot into recovery from Rom Manager.
Sounds like youre on me7 and then installed a custom recovery which you cant do. Thats why its going to download mode. Youll have to flash a stock image through odin to get back your stock recovery. The only thing me7 people can do is run safestrap.

I actually foolishly did the same before, installed TWRP and CWMR on ME7. Currently still running stock ROM, rooted. Is there a benefit to ODIN back to stock recovery? When I install safestrap, will the TWRP that comes with safestrap overwrite the other recoveries I installed before?

I havent read everything on the boot process but I believes it hijacks it and sends it into the safestrap im nearly positive it doesnt overwrite the stock recovery. I could be wrong tho. I would reflash the stock image so I would have a stock recovery but thats me.

I flashed NightmareROM. I found myself do not like it. I decided to flash ArchiDroid (AOSP ROM). I found it required Philz recovery. I flashed it through recovery (CWM). I rebooted to make sure everything is OK. After making Nandroid backup, found myself cannot boot into recovery and cannot boot into download mode after factory reset., but I can boot to system normally. I installed CM installer. It detected my phone, and I was able to boot into download and recovery mode. I can boot into download mode normally. I flashed the latest version of Philz Touch Recovery through Odin. When I want to boot into recovery mode, by pressing the combination, I find myself rebooting normally. When I press the combination, then pressing home + up only after the first reboot, I can boot into recovery. Is there any problem? I did not try to flash something
Change to stock cwm or twrp and test. I'm guessing a recovery problem as I've had this in the past with philz.

Someone flashed it, and he said there is no problem. Could be there is a problem with bootloader?
Bootloader won't be the problem. I use cwm6.0.4.4 and flash any ROM any firmware without issue. Philz is only a recommendations not a must In any ROM/firmware

Use one of the many apps on Playstore to boot into recovery or use adb. I know PhilZ sometimes can be a bit awkward to get into recovery but the others should be fine.Have you also tried going back to stock and starting again this may solve your problem.
Download and flash cwm 6.0.4.4
Can't help with something I don't use 'twrp'
Question.. Can you boot into recovery or download mode? If not mobile Odin.
And..what ROM are you running now? Are you rooted?

I can boot into download mode normally. I can boot into recovery mode, but I have to press up + home + power, the phone will boot into recovery, but in less than 1 sec it reboot, so I have to press up + home only
That's normal to hold the three button combo or it WONT enter recovery or download mode. Holding the power button alone will just reboot the device as you can see.

Ok So I with the help of ShinySide the Creator of Hispasain and TrapKernel. Have created a t900 root kernel for the new 5.1.1. you will have to install TWRP via ODIN and then flash this. This is a stock kernel that is set to permissive. It also installs the SU Binary's at the same time. I learned a lot in the last 3 days. Thank you @ShinySide
I know we don't have any Custom 5.1.1 Roms out yet but if your already Touchwiz 5.1.1 on some custom rom and only want my kernel then Skip to part 2.
Part 1
Ok if you are on 4.4.2 you will have to Odin Flash your tablet to 5.1.1 Stock. (Probably 2) times to get it to boot up.
If you are on CM(what ever version) Go into TWRP and WIPE Advanced SYSTEM / DATA / Cache / Dalvik Cache Then reboot into download mode and Odin the 5.1.1 (I've not done it this way might still need 2 try's)
Make sure tablet boots and you are now on stock 5.1.1 power down tablet.
Hold POWER VOLUME DOWN AND HOME and wait for Download Mode.
Load Odin. Connect your cable Select the TWRP.tar file . UN CHECK THE REBOOT OPTION! Flash the TWRP.tar file with Odin.
Now hold down just VOLUME UP AND POWER till you see a message at the top about Non-Enforcing recovery and then let go of the power button but not the up button. The screen should got black. let go of the volume button TWRP should start.
If you did not into TWRP You did not help the buttons right and are now looking at a Stock Recovery and will have to jump back up to "Make sure tablet boots into 5.1.1" and go from there again.
BACK UP Stock WITH TWRP BEFORE YOU FLASH !!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD !
BACK UP Stock WITH TWRP BEFORE YOU FLASH !!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD !
BACK UP Stock WITH TWRP BEFORE YOU FLASH !!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD !
Part 2
Flash My Stealthee-Kernel.zip Below in TWRP (It already is set to install SU Binaries)
Reboot and DO NOT LET TWRP INSTALL SU Binaries or you will need to at least restore the system part of your Backup. If you did not back up before and missed the 3 lines saying so I can't help you. (Will not actually sorry) You will have to start over.
Remember at your own risk.. .boom. and all that
This Kernel also has Init.d support Although the current Stock Rom does not support this by Default. I was able to use terminal emulator and make mine work and show up So I could test Synapse. I don't work BTW Not supported.

su binary does not install. su apk is present
So the kernel did install too correct? I forgot to name it correctly so it will say. [email protected] and can you check se for android status under setting about device and tell if it shows permissive.
https://plus.google.com/photos/albu...6193636469279682626&oid=110078731989156903833
I have first flashed the ROM with Odin. Then flashed the other insecure kernel with Odin. Then flashed TWRP in Odin. Then flashed SuperSu and your kernel. But it only boots into recovery, not to system anymore. Just restored to CM again. Let's hope somone will succeed making a new root tool for Samsung 5.1.1 and up.
That's exactly what happened with my custom kernel. It would boot straight to recovery.

ok you have to wipe everything except storage and flash the 5.1.1 update tar 2 times some times to get it to work. Then once you have that you have a stock 5.1.1 then flash the twrp tar. THEN flash my root kernel test. I need to know since i dont have my tablet here right now if the se android status under setting general about this device says "Permisive" or what it says" if it does then great i need to fix the librarys so sayeth the ShinySide. Or i need to update superuser in my ramdisk if it does cause i have the wrong one. thats why im asking abou tthe SE Status. If someone could answer this I'll know if i need to recompile the kernel again with a different passive fix. Just flashing 1 time the 5.1.1 TW rom will not work if you have not wiped everything. Took me 2 odins to get it running. and i was stock 4.4.2 rooted. if your on CM you will need to wipe and then flash. The tar does not seem to wipe data it just overlays it seems.

K. But Is it set to permissive in settings?
I really know how to flash. And for me flash stock rom has worked the first time. But how do you flash the recovery without first flashing @andrewnelson23 kernel ? Your kernel is not tar.md5 but zip. If you try to flash TWRP after you have flashed stock rom the recovery doesn't get flashed. I have read the post about boot to recovery while pressing start in Odin but that didn't work for me. May be you can make a tar.md5 package with your kernel?
B.t.w. I have tried flashing with Flashfire but that results in Bootloop too.

No. If you have flashed twrp while in download mode and rebooted to android and then tried to go to twrp and it took you to stock recovery IE. twrp didn't stick, you need to flash twrp while in download mode and when it goes to reboot do your key combo to go to recovery before booting to android. Or Uncheck auto reboot, flash twrp, disconnect cable, hold power button til it shuts off then go directly to recovery before booting to android.
Your post didn't make much sense to me so assuming you meant you flashed twrp, let it reboot and when you tried rebooting to twrp it wasn't there.

ok after you flash twrp and uncheck reboot after it flashes. hold down ONLY volume down and power untill you see the selinux msg on top. let it go. it should goto a black screen and then into twrp. do not hold HOME. you only get 1 chance if you boot into stock recovery you have to start all over and get back into download mode and flash twrp tar again. But once you do it 1 time it sticks and stock recovery is replaced by twrp.
