Im trying to root my phone but i am having issues getting into download mode. Im holding volume down and power at the same time. The samsung screen pops up and then the samsung galaxy slll screen then it resets the phone like it should if you hold down power long enough. but no Download scrren. Am i doing this right? My ssgs2 went right into dl mode.
Is it possible to update cwm to v4 directly from the phone or is Odin mandatory?

I already rooted and installed cwm with Odin when the root method was first released. Now I want to update to v4. I used to be able to do this with my photon where we download the zip file of the newest cwm and just update it through recovery. Is it possible to do that with this device?

I'm having an issue with Odin as well after the OTA update...I've tried two different cables in different ports and reboots, and it gets stuck at Get PIT for mapping every time and after a few minutes it says that the flash failed. I have the latest file for CWM and Root from Recovery. I'm coming from the Epic 4G and have been using Odin countless times with nothing but success. I've never rooted this phone before the OTA also. Is there another step I'm skipping?
Trying to root. But I installed CWM recovery but I think my phone reverted back to android receovery.
It says "Android System recovery (3e)" at the top. Is this correct?

When you run ODIN, select 'PDA' slot ONLY (do not select Auto-reboot)....when ODIN completes CWMv4 install cycle w/ green 'complete' light at upper left, go ahead + remove cable from device, then remove + replace battery......boot to CWM recovery, then flash TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v4.zip file stored on your device............boot to system.
Thereafter, your superuser allows CWMv4 to stick, you're good to go.
