Ok I had to switch from twrp to CWM (mods would not install via twrp)

I found some instructions got odin etc.. but I screwed up. I installed the INTERNATIONAL CWM

the phone booted fine but when I rebooted to recovery it fails (black screen turns off after is says recovery booting)

now I can't get past that. anything I do always says recovery booting and fails. how do I get back to download mode to odin the right recovery?

OK got it fixed. apparently Just letting it sit for 10 mintues was enough to reset the boot trigger and it let me back into download mode and I flashed the CORRECT cwm :) hehe all good again !! pheewwww

Pull out the battery; hold volume down, power , and home button; while holding buttons down put the battery back in; when the phone vibrates let go of the power button but keep pressing the the home and volume down . This should bring you into download mode for odin
