[Q] How do I install recovery?

My ex-wife's Thunderbolt has been having problems for awhile, and recently it stopped connecting to the internet. I re-flashed the radio, changed radios, re-flashed the ROM (running SOAB 1.04), and finally decided to return to stock for replacement. So I downloaded and flashed PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310014 and decided to see if it was still malfunctioning, and it worked fine. Now I need to root/flash SOAB again, but when I enter recovery mode it acts like it's not there. It was rooted with Revoloutionary previously. What do I need to do?
The ruu you flashed wasnt rooted so you'll have to flash the recovery in h boot again.

To be clear, download recovery, then change the filename to PG05IMG.zip? What about SU?
After you flash recovery you go into the recovery and flash superuser for the thunderbolt.

Thanks, I thought so but wanted to make sure. I almost tried to flash SU first LOL! Glad I came here first!
Yea I don't think that would work lol.

Help! Tried to root after offical ics, now hanging at samsung loading screen.

My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.

Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

odin for touch cwm

You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

so correct...you nailed it...so many are trying to root with gb kernal....
I hope they go to the page I made and follow the green arrowed how to root ics...it is very super simple process to root the official ics...but ....
This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

you need to read read read read and PLEASE read
Because CMW is not a kernel
Its a recovery
People wouldn't have these issues if they read.
Please refer to the stickies before you really damage your phone.

The OP had posted that he flashed Da_g's GB kernel trying to get root...your issue if flashing CWM may be different. Hopefully you use the steps outlined by bigjoe in his post.

Rooted, but can't boot back into Clockworkmod.

I rooted my Sprint GS3 using odin with no problems. Got a pass, rebooted, went into CWM ect....
But now I can't boot back into CWM. It goes straight to Stock recovery instead. The only way to get into CWM now is to use Rom manager to reboot into it. Has anyone had this issue? I want to install a rom, but don't want to do it if I can't boot into CWM manually.
Thanks!

Where can I find his method? I don't see it in the Sprint GS3 Fourms.

Can I install cwm from RomToolBox Pro if I've rooted my VZW note 2 with exynos abuse?

I feel stupid for asking this but can I install cwm from RomToolBox Pro if I've rooted my VZW note 2 with exynos abuse exploit?
I believe you will need to unlock your bootloader first. I would go back to stock (if you already rooted) and the follow adam's instructions (run the casual exploit and flash the suckitverizon bootloader). You will have TWRP automatically at that point. I think from there you can flash CWM, but I would search that process out.

You have to be unlocked also in order to install CWM
Yes, be sure to unlock first or you will recieve the verizon yellow triangle of death and always make sure you have the stock restore file handy in case you have to odin back

Is it ok to root using this method if you just want wifi tether and freeze bloat? I dd try this and installed custom recovery. Not good, I flashed back to stock and was afraid to try again. Can someone post detailed how to safely use exynosabuse. Thanks.
Don't use CWM, it's not compatible with exFAT format for those 64 GB sd cards

I just unlocked and rooted my Note 2. I want to put CWM on it but didnt know how to put it over TWRP. So do I just go to the market, install CWM then go in the apo and flash it? Thanks.

P7510: CWM Recovery cannot run versions after 5.5.0.4

I am currently on CWM 5.5.0.4. I was previously on 5.0.2.7 and with great difficulty and after scouring the forums, I was able to find a way to get 5.5.0.4 installed and running (using this file via odi - ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx.tar).
However, in order to get CM10.1 (JB) rom on my p4wifi, I understand I need a 6.x CWM recovery. I have tried to install every possible version 6.x I can find, both in odin and via adb. It installs ok, but when I select it from bootloader, it just freezes at a black screen, so I have to reboot manually.
I have tried a full unroot / factory restore to stock ICS, then tried a fresh install of CWM 6.0.3.3 - but same problem (it installs ok via odin, but whenever I select recovery from bootloader, I get a black screen).
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how I can get a 6.x CWM working on my tab....
thanks - Adam
Did you try the one from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/? Just flash it via Odin and it should work fine. If it doesn't, then try twrp from InfamousAOKP thread.

Thanks for input/suggestions. A new 6.0.3.4 CWM became available today on droidbasement - gave it a go, but no good. Installs from odin no problems, but goes to black screen (then reboots) whenever I select recovery from bootloader menu.
Tried TWRP also, and got exactly the same symptoms.
So I guess its 5.5.0.4 and ICS for now on my SGT10.1.....
Then try starting from scratch. Reflash stock ICS, then flash cwm 6.0.3.4. I dunno if it will work, but reflash to stock always fixes problems.

Tried a flash of latest US stock ICS (with factory reset), then tried cwm 6.0.3.4 (and twrp) - no good.
Tried a flash of the Hong Kong stock ICS (that's where tablet came from), then cwm 6034 (and twrp) - no good.
Tried a flash of stock Honeycomb, then cwm 6034 - no good.
I can't think of anything else I can try.
My tablet seems to have a few quirks, and is quite particular about the custom recovery it will run. I have also had similar problems with installing custom kernals (I can install A1 Kernal for ICS version 1.59SE ok, but every other newer version of the Kernal I attempt to install will freeze on startup. Yoda's Kernal will also not cooperate).
I seem to have the eMMC brickbug (according to the app), and my bootloader is one of those locked ones (no padlock on startup screen), so not sure if these have anything to do with my issues.
cheers.
Maybe its the way you flash? Try the flashable zip and img versions of twrp. Probably won't work, but heck, just try it.
Different note, how do you know if your tab is locked or unlocked? All this while I didn't have to do anything special to my tab to root it.

Yeah - I have tried using a zip and also flashing an img version via adb, same problem.
I even had a go at trying to nvflash the 6.x CWM recovery, and that's when I discovered my SGT is apparently 'locked bootloader', because nvflash returns a "0x4" error, which according to forums, means bootloader is locked and you cannot use nvflash.
Hey you didn't told me that you had a 10.1v. There is another forum for it. I think your bootloader may be the problem. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29501723 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064793.

I don't have the 10.1V - its definitely the GT-P7510 (P4wifi). I found discussion on forums about locked vs unlocked bootloaders for the GT10.1, but it appears the GT10.1 bootloader cannot be unlocked. I can't even be sure that the bootloader is the problem.
I have accepted my tab will not get the opportunity to taste jelly bean, so I'll probably just wait for the Nexus 10 gen 2 to come out later this year. Two years use of my GT10.1 is a good run..

Adam,
I have the very same problem. I've been fighting with this for a week now and nothing will do, my tab just won't run the latest TWRP or CMW Recovery.
I researched the eMMC Brickbug and it doesn't seem to be related. If I understand it correctly, it just means your tab is susceptible to getting bricked if you try to flash and ICS 4.0.4 rom.
I think there is just something in our hardware that makes it incompatible with recent recoveries.
