Help needed for cwm recovery. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My cwm recovery used to work it was the latest version. Recently I tried using rom manager to flash my first rom. Well it turns out that I think rom manager screwed up my cwm recovery. Now every time I go into recovery it just shows pixels like appearing lil by lil and it turns green. Any way to fix this? And I was wondering if I re install cwm the way I did before with Odin will it mess my phone up? Or will it work. Help!!

Try reflashing your phone with an official firmware then Root it like how you did before and install CWM. It will work.
Next time dont mess with Rom Manager when you already have CWM.

Then there is nothing to worry. Download the official firmware, Flash it via Odin, (CWM would be removed) Wipe from recovery, Reboot.
Then root it and Install CWM like normal how you did it before.
Will work 100% !

Try Rom Manager from Play Store.
You can boot in touch recovery by turning off your phone, then press and hold power button + home button + volume up
Wait until the recovery shows up and release your fingers.
Edit: Or just reflash cwm recovery using cwm apps if you want to use cwm apps for backup/restore

As I suggested earlier, use ROM Manager.
ROM manager is not the way I would suggest as it doesn't support many phones and is known to have caused a few bricks! Best bet Google! Find your recovery flash it thru the one u have if possible, or do it thru bootload USB

There's a chance of it going wrong and bricking your phone, a lot of people will tell you not to use ROM manager to flash anything, downloading stuff with it is fine, but flash through cwm.
Better to be safe than sorry.

Same issue here, it installs but can't use full app lime backup etc..
I'm now using clockwork recovery touch 6. Something.
Get the .tar flash it with Odin or mobile Odin, it's pretty much the same
Just enter recovery by power home and volume up when device is off
I got it from your drop, it installed but get the same error that I get from the cf root 6.4 package .

It won't be fully compatible until Chainfire updates it for JB.
Yeah thought as much, I prefer CWM in os, also I hear it's not compatible with clockwork recovery touch too

Try flash custom rom first. Then flash hell lock kernel after your custom rom booting correctly.

Yes the rooting is the same and the link developweb gave you is the easiest instructions and it is how I rooted my I717r. However....
If after installing Recovery (cwm or twrp) and you reboot into recovery to install superuser you find out you still have stock recovery installed then you need to do an extra step. Depending on how your phone was updated there may be a script installed that restores the stock recovery. So after you install custom recovery remove your battery while it is rebooting. This will prevent the script from reinstalling stock recovery. Then boot into recovery yourself to install superuser.
Info about rooting the Canadian version is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775263
I rooted my I717r with ICS installed. I installed ICS using odin and the script was not on my phone. I believe if your phone was updated via OTA then it got the script. I have no idea if this script is carried over into jellybean or not.
Thanks a lot everyone
