Just rooted my SG2 via CF-ROOT and want to flash the latest checkrom,do i have to get the latest revolution rom kitchen on my phone before flashing the rom via CWM?Thanks!
If you have rooted phone with CWM, simpply download the rom from CheckRom's site, copy it into you cell phone memory, restart into CWM recovery mode, perform back up, double wipe then install the rom's zip file. in case of boot loop, try double wipe again and see if this work.
Thanks man!

Have you rooted your phone? Basically, my method when flashing Vibe ROM:
On CWM 6.0.2.8 > Flash Vibe ROM > Flash Gapps > Flash SuperSU > Wipe data/cache > Reboot.
NOTE: When reboot, you will be asked to disable recovery flash, you must answer yes or else the stock recovery will overwrite the CWM you have. But I am not sure about TWRP.
Else, root your phone using vRoot (Google it), use Mobile Uncle Tools install appropriate recovery and flash back the SuperSU zip via recovery if you don't want the Chinese root management app.

Thank you for your answer.
My phone is rooted and have super su but only you can't change the CWR Recovery
I try many time to install cwr 6 0 1 5 with mobileuncle but still the old cwr not change
Better to wait for Stable Rom to try.

Assume you have checked root with root checker right? Ok, try the CWM in my thread. It's a China version CWM 6.0.2.8. The CWM 6.0.1.5 is ROW version. Choose and flash the correct recovery and you should be ok.
CWM 6.0.2.8 > Best stable recovery ATM from my opinion.
Hey guys!
So I was helping my friend flash a ROM to his S2(G) but the problem is, after flashing the zip file for the recovery in the stock recovery as is recommended in the guides here, should I reboot, it once again reverts back to the stock recovery, and not the custom one.
Can someone please help?
Thanks again.
And please ask me for any more details if necessary.
That's because the partition layout on the I9100 is different to other phones; recovery is 'baked' into the kernel & not in a separate partition. So that's why when you flash a recovery independently, the recovery will revert to stock recovery (or whatever custom recovery the custom kernel you're currently running has) when you reboot.
You need to flash a custom kernel which will give you a rooted phone + permanent CWM; PhilZ seems to be easy (search for the thread).
If you want a specific CWM version, you'll need to flash a kernel that has it.

Forget about the recovery.img. I don't know why it is there. On the i9100(and i9100T), there is no seperate recovery partition. It is bundled with the kernel. So if you have a custom recovery that is capable of flashing a lollipop rom, just use that. Once you have flashed CM12.1, the CM recovery(kernel) will overwrite the recovery(kernel) you had anyway. Which is not a good thing(not that you have a choice). Currently the CM recovery is not very functional compared to CWM or TWRP

I'm assuming you have stock unrooted firmware? The easiest way is to install philz kernel from stock(3e) recovery, then reboot to recovery and flash a newer recovery that is capable of flashing the newer versions of android. If you just want to install CM12.1 straight away just back up your efs then:
1. Download the DVLSH kernel .zip from HERE
2. Download the philz 6.48.4 from HERE
3. Reboot into stock recovery, flash the DVLSH kernel(if your firmware build is DVL**, you could probably reboot into system no problem)
4. Reboot to recovery(not system), flash the philz 6.48.4
5. Reboot to recovery(not system), follow the steps for installing in the CM12.1 thread after backing up etc
Keep the DVLSH kernel. Once you install CM, you will have CM recovery, which only allows you to flash signed .zips(which this one is)
EDIT - The philz 6.48.4 is also signed and is probably the more useful one to keep, being compatible with the newer roms

Also how good or Bad is it to be used as a daily regular rom compared to the Samsung Stock rom for the SGS2 (GT-I9100)?

Is it ok to flash twrp over cwm or do i need to remove cwm first. Hi i have been searching for this particular topic and found no definite answer. I am currently trying to flash blisspop rom on my phone and it says to use the latest twrp recovery. The problem is I have cwm installed on my phone. So my question is ok to flash twrp over cwm or set my default recovery to twrp
@onedaynerd: simply replace CWM with TWRP 2.8.6.1 by Odin. Ashame TWRP can't read/restore CWM-backups.

As far as I know, there will/can be only one recovery. Any recovery can be overwritten by the other. Just flash the new recovery and it automatically replaces the old one.
Example, If you are currently having CWM then boot into CWM recovery and flash the TWRP recovery zip file and reboot the device. Check the recovery by booting into recovery again. Now you will find TWRP as your recovery. CWM will be gone.
