Latest/safest method for recovery install

[jayinc11]

I am looking for the latest method for recovery install, and thereafter install lollipop or the most recent OS that will run on this baby. The phone is already rooted. I have read a whole lot but I am suffering from info over load now.

I did install Rashr and RomManager but neither successfully installed a recovery.

I897 has 2.3.5 rooted stock

Flash a custom kernel, and you're set. Samsung device has their recovery and kernel on the same partition
