But I'm using the stock recovery mode & and there is no toggle option??
when I load any zip file (root or the CWM) from the stock recovery the installation aborted due to signature verification failed.

Ok can you please show how to do it, coz I also try this method step by step but it wont success.
every time I boot in recovery mode the old stock rc loaded instead of CWM, please help.
I used Odin 3.04 & touch CWM last version tar file.

For flashing via Odin DO NOT BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE. Boot into DOWNLOAD MODE. here is a description below.
The Samsung drivers must be properly installed and phone recognized prior to flashing with odin.
1. Open the "Odin307" folder and right click on "Odin3 v3.07.exe" and choose run as
administrator. Odin will open.
2. place your phone into download mode. Turn off phone - press and hold volume down, home
button and power button at the same time. When you see the warning push the volume up
button to continue.
3. Plug your usb cord to your phone and computer and wait until you see any number and com
in the com
4. Check the PDA block and browse to the tar file you would like to flash.
5. that settings are correct for what you are doing
When all this is setup Odin should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. If everything looks like the picture, click on the start button in Odin.
Please do not mess iwth the other options in Odin.
