[Q] Recovery?

---

I have a question about how the recovery works. So I am a bit new to this, but does anyone know how the recovery mode works on the T989. So I understand that there is a Download mode and one can use this to flash just about anything such as a kernel or an entire rom. Now what I am confused about is CWM when one installs this using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1639673 does it overwrite the built in revovery (I actually am not sure if there is a built in recovery menu, I was looking at the ATT captivate and there is an e2/e3 recovery menu where one can flash things similary to CWM). And if it does overwrite this revocery menu is there a way to get it back? Also one more question, with odin are we able to flash CWM at all?

Thanks

Download mode is the mode you need to be in to use odin ans yes flashing CWM via odin overwrites the stock recovery allowing you to root. I would follow this guide...

Odin is a program you will need to flash your CWM recovery...and you can use Odin to revert to complete stock if needed so yes you can restore stock recovery.

Hope I helped
