Workaround for those firmwares have boot-recovery.p in system folder and reflash original recovery after reboot.

1). Copy CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip and Remove-boot-recovery.p.zip to your device internal memory card.

2). Boot your device in to download mode.
(Power off and then press and hold the power + volume down + home button at the same time)

3). Flash I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 with Odin with unchecked the Auto Reboot box.

4). After Odin finish do not turn off or restart the device but try to go in recovery mode.
(Press and hold the power + volume up + home button at the same time)

5). Once in recovery, flash the CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip to gain root and Remove-boot-recovery.p.zip to delete the boot-recovery.p file and then reboot.

Thank's

I should rename it to .tar ?? Because Odin doesn't accept .zip files.

Thanks!!

Sorry for the noob question, but will I have to do this operation everytime I flash another recovery?

Or is this to get the recovery to stick only the first time you flash cwm?


EDIT: I tried and found the answer. Depends on the rom.

Yes, it depends on the rom... but if the rom is the OEM from samsung, then you will have to do it...

I wasn't able to root my phone today, it was on COM3 in the first USB and COM4 in a different USB.
It got stuck at mapping for pit or something.. Then after 5 minutes it said it failed in red.

I must say I was in a Internet café and the computers were horribly slow and ****. Complete trash.
Don't even think it had USB 2.0 but only 1.0.. That's what it said at least.

Try it on a safe and personal computer.... with a usb cable in perfect condition. ..

To have any recovery other than the stock recovery and want to root you need to flash an insecure kernel that is compatible to your original kernel for instance if you have Secure BLL5 then you need to flash an insecure BLL5 or if you use Odin then in Odin uncheck the auto reboot box before you flash the recovery on your device when the flashing is done and get the pass then manually boot to recovery by pressing (volume up+home button+power button).
PS. Run Odin with administrator rights
Ps 2. Check this forum as well http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

    This is Chainfire CWM recovery ported for all GT-I9305.


    Steps:

    1. Download Odin from this post.

    2. Download I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5

    3. Unzip Odin to your desktop.

    4. Copy the I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 to the same directory.

    5. Boot your SGS in to download mode.
    (Power off and then press and hold the power + volume down + home buttons at the same time)

    6. Connect your phone to your PC using the cable that came with it.

    7. If Kies is running on your pc shut it down.

    8. Open the Odin application.
    (Make sure your phone is detected, there will be a yellow square in the top left corner.)

    9. Choose PDA button and select the I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5.

    10. Press start and wait. Your phone will be flashed and reboot when it is finished.
    (After Odin finish let the device reboot to android at least one time before applying I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5.)

    11. When the phone reboot, power it off again.

    12. Put the phone in recovery mode.
    (Hold down power, volume up and home when the device is turned off and unplugged.)

    13. After that you can flash the Root_SuperSU.1.02-Busybox.1.21.0.zip to be ROOTED to any firmware and make a backup and restore of your firmware, also you can now flash any custom rom / kernel made for GT-I9305.


    Mirror's:

    DropBox-I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5

    Many thank's to Chainfire for the CWM recovery and also to mick.wheelz for the successful test's of my ported recovery.

    To reset the counter back to 0 use the TriangleWay from Chainfire.

    6. Shut down your SGS and shut down Kies.

    (Press and hold the home then volume UP then power buttons at the same time)
    Hold them until you see SGS 3 logo with small exclamation mark in the upper left corner of your SGS. Now release them.

    After the proces will be finished, you will see something like this.

    17. Now reboot your SGS using CWM Recovery option.

    The workaround for cwm not appearing is that during the auto-rebooting process after Odin has successfully flashed cwm, u need to pull out the battery, go try it, works for me...

    Apparently this is happening to i9305 phones that have updated software in one way or another (i.e. via OTA, Kies...) the android default recovery will reinstall during the rebooting process and replace the cwm that has been flashed.

    Note that every time you need to use cwm, you need to use Odin again to flash cwm again + pulling battery trick. Troublesome but u can nevertheless have your phone rooted...

    Maybe this is the problem (check half way down where the article is updated about the non sticking recovery):

    www.androidpolice.com/2012/07/01/ha...-jelly-bean-heres-a-method-that-works-how-to/

    It was on the GNex when JB was released, but it could be the same problem. Once in recovery, see if you can find and remove a file named /system/recovery-from-boot.p

    sorry to ask, is this also applicable to Galaxy S3 GT-i9305 XXALI6?

    This is for all GT-I9305's
