Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100p with CM12.1-20151023-NIGHTLY-i9100
I was recently on CM11 with CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery and everything worked as it should but since upgrading to CM12.1 I have been unable to boot in CWM recovery, it just takes me into the stock recovery. I've tried reflashing the CWM img but it has no effect.
Is this version of CWM not compatible with Lollipop? Can anyone tell me a version that will work?
I would also like to try TWRP but unsure which image to use, can anyone recommend one?
Thanks
Steven

The recovery is bundled with the kernel in the S2. CM12.1 has CM recovery by default. The only way you can have a different recovery is to flash a compatible custom kernel. You could try the TWRP kernel from at the beginning of the CM12.1 thread or Dorimanx kernel that gsstudios builds
Thanks, where is the CM12.1 thread, I'm not sure which one you're referring to?

how to install a rom without a cwm bootloop?
Make sure you're on latest twrp or cwm or don't flash aokp rom's. That should generally be it

Theres a repacked cwm touch in drv section that also has the fix.

The best is to flash recovery with fastboot to avoid the risk.
And I have aokp and no bootloop....
Hii!! :laugh:
I hope I am not making an error by posting here, I am a little new to here so be king please :angel:
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
PS: I had CM 10.2
Running official stock ROM : JB 4.1.2

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
And I think about buying a tablet, what do you think Nexus 7 or Samsung Tab 3 ?

All right guys im just going to keep this real nice and simple. Purpose of thread:
Latest CWM Recovery
Kit Kat 4.4 ROM Installation Compatible
Centralized Place to Put The Latest Recoveries
Just a heads up. This is NOT meant to be used as a kernel. I compiled these recoveries from source and only the recovery module is built therefore YOUR PHONE WILL NOT BOOT COMPLETELY AS THERE IS NO KERNEL. I made these recoveries so that users can flash
From ICS/JB to KK with ease
Flash This Over DorimanX Kernel So That You Can Update Your Kit Kat ROM
And Resolve Status 7 Errors When Flashing Kit Kat ROMs On A Out-Dated CWM Recovery
How To Use:
To Flash a Kit Kat ROM From a Out-Dated Recovery CWM Version Less Then 6.0.4.4:
Flash This CWM Recovery File (Does Not Matter Which Version You Pick Just Take The Latest) And Reboot Back Into Recovery Via The Option In The Advanced Menu
You Should Now Have A Grey Coloured Recovery With Version 6.0.4.X

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
:good:
@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?
Cwm
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.

I used to have an i9100 before and heavily tweaked it. I have a Nexus now and it is so much easier than S2 and I forgot everything. Now, my brother is got an i9100 and I would like to know how to get a custom recovery on it. I don't need root, just a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM will do.
Can someone link me how to install CWM or TWRP on this i9100? I want to install a KitKat ROM on it, such as Carbon ROM. I searched and searched but the instructions are for 4.0.4 only. Thanks

Did you get Custom Recovery with out root before? I think it is not possible cos I9100 and other do not use recovery partitions. Never ever. CWM is on same partition what kernel is. Its mixed up together. When you flash root you will have Custom Recovery
I searched in Google but i cannot find any custom recovery that compatible with i9100 flashed CM12.1 Nightlies
I need to do NAND backup but i cant find it on Cyanogen Recovery
Any suggestion?
Any links to download the custom recovery?
Any suggestion would be thanked
Here is Philz signed Recovery, which you can simply flash through cyanogen recovery.

yes it is, (just flashed this recovery from CM recovery and installed cm 12.1 nightly)
For my I9100 it doesn't work. After the flashing of the Philz recovery I've installed the last CM12.1, and the CM recovery has overwrote the Philz recovery. The same issue of ever.
Note that the option "update recovey" in the setting menu isn't active.

You'll have to reflash Philz every time you update
BTW, there's an updated TWRP recovery out, I recommend to use this one instead: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347833059
