4.Click on PDA and choose The Recovery.tar, see image 2

5.Now Let's go to our device,
a. Go to developer option, now Hit ok and Check USB debugging if it is not
b.Put Cwm_SuperSU or Cwm_SuperUser, Only choose one
c.Turn your device off and boot it in downloading/download mod ( Turn it off, and Hold Vol_Down & Home & Power until you see light coming out from the device ( When you feel it booted ) and then you should see a warning, just ignore it and click Vol_Up ). should be something like image 3.

6.Now connect your android To your pc that has Odin, if done every thing correctly You should see The windows downloading drivers or Odin that printed : Com:****

7.Make sure to Have : Auto Reboot & F. Reset time & Pda Checkedd after you done Step 5 & 6. see image 4

8.Remove the back Cover of your phone ( you must do that )

9.Now Click on START in odin

10. You should see a Blue bar in the downloading / Download mod in your device

11. keep watching it, till it finishes

12.When it finishes, Your device has to reboot, Just When you see the samsung logo, Remove your battery
Now to the easy part

13.Remove the Usb from your device, and reinsert battery

14.Now you changed Your Stock_Recovery, With CWM_Recovery. Now you want to go to your new recovery, by pressing Vol_Down & Vol_Up & Home & Power release when you see samsung logo. You should see something like image 5 ( Version might be diffrent ).

Note : Your touch won't work here, Move with your Vol_Up / Vol_down and choose with Home button and go back with back button

15. Now i suggest you to make a backup if you have an external Sdcard, if not just skip

16. now choose " Install Zip from sdCard " and Go to Choose zip from Sdcard Or From internal sd Card ( Depends on where you put your Cwm_SUperuser)

17. now Go to where you have put your CWM_Superuser / Cwm_SuperSU. and click on The Home, and click yes and now wait a bit,

18. Now go back and choose Reboot System now

if you want to remove the triangle Download RootTriangleAway From XDA or PlayStore (The app is Free, but Please buy it, to support the developer )

Now you are rooted :victory::victory::victory:

This is another CWM Recovery, if the first one didn't work for you it was posted by vikassaini01 Thx for Androidnoob1961 and Mohitash for posting this

And Therer is KyleOpen Recovery ( It's a cwm recovery but does not support installing from Ext_SdCard )

Method 2 (This won't install Cwm But will root your phone )

Go to unlockroot.com and download Unlock Root pro ( The blue one )
Now install it ( it will install 2 apps one that needs a key and one doesn't )
Open it and connect your device ( Have usb debugging on ) without closing ( do not turn off your device )

Click on Root and Than it will ask you if you want to install PowerSaving app, make your selection
Than it will ask you to reboot system click Yes/Ok

Now you are rooted :victory::victory::victory:
if you want to get CWM follow steps 1 -> 12

This method will not Work for all but Give it a shot

i changed the method of the explanition a bit, THank me if i helped you

External SD card is a better idea isnt it? seeing as the phones storage space is not only limited, but also exposed to factory wipes and such. The only problem is that cheatmans kyle cwm has the internal and external sd cards switched the wrong way around so its the internal sd card inside his cwm, but in reality it's really actually the external sd card... if that makes sense

This is the cwm recovery i use (with the sd cards the right way round)

Corrected it, Thanks
But i think that Ext_SdCard is safer as you will need to wipe
And thank you and @Androidnoob1961 for the support

Quote, requote etc

well,

the initial very good idea from OP here to clear up
the messy site (t=2087177) is beginning now to end
up in a same messy place again.

can't you guys just quote the appropriate lines you refer to?
it sucks to scroll through large quotes for the sake
of reading a couple of lines of remarks been made to.

a lot of problems on the original site which caused this site
was due to this crap and also missing CR/LF,
bumptious letters, vacuous images etc.

I'm sure that was one of the main reasons why a lot of
people run including me into trouble because vital questions
had not been dignified with a response and/or simple answers
just been overseen.

at the end of the day - nobody here wants to end up with a brick!?

Great guide! very detailed and thorough. Just a correction id like to make as i was reading through though, in cwm recovery, isnt the power button used to go back?

 

[Dragon122333]

Actually no, the power button is used for nothing in the cwm recovery ( at least for the one i posted ), but it is used to select in the stock recovery

Currently there is no way to record without an app,
But, there are a lot of call recording apps on the market

 

[Androidnoob1961]

Yes you're correct, my mistake. The power button is used to go back only in the cwm which I posted earlier
