Cant reboot into custom recovery!

---

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser.
But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery.
I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont.
Why is this happening ?
Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .
Thanks in advance

Since you already have superuser. Why not install via Rom manager or install twrp

Recovery doesn't stick for some weird reason when flashing through Odin on that firmware

Oh really that's really weird. I'm sure doc will come in here and help you out.. there was another thread out there asking the same that used a different odinable cwm that worked.

Reinstall recovery with rom or goo manager and reboot recovery.

Thats weird...so you can reboot into custom recovery a few times and eventually it goes back to stock? Or can you only boot custom once then it reverts?
First, look for these files and if there, delete or rename them.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Then reinstall recovery and see if it works now.

If theyre not there, good!....well maybe!

Have you tried any other method of installing recovery?

Try using my favorite tool, Mobile Odin.
Free lite version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1347899
(Dont forget to download the flash kernel further down the page)
Or buy full version on play store.

Download twrp here:

Rename to recovery.img
Open Mobile Odin and tap Recovery and select that file.
Do not wipe.
Tap and confirm Flash Firmware.

Let me know how that goes.
