Anybody know where to get a recovery that I don't have to flash and don't have to be rooted because my coms down and I can't root it. Z4 doesn't work

If i was to recall, it's not possible to get a custom recovery without rooting it.
You could always use stock recovery if that's what you want? ^^
Well that's just it I don't have a recovery anymore it died (personaly idk what happened to it it just stoped working and froze when I wanted to get to recovery..)

You got to have root or your phone won't let you install a recovery. Once you have root, you can install CWM recovery via the RomManager app (free in Play store) according the the sticky in the dev section...

CWM
Follow the instruction's of that thread then download Rom Manager on your phone & install the recovery for SK4G also then reboot into recovery then reinstall package's . Enjoy .

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

As said above, just go to playstore and search for rom manager, by this way you won't brick your phone.

Use Rom Manager and flash Clockwork mod
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
use rom manager with precaution go to a good coverage area then use it
but i suggest u not to use it
as of myself it took my phone to fastboot mode twice
use terminal emulator method
but u should be rooted
download any recovery image(google it) and flash_image(google it )
place the flash_image in /system/bin and change it permissions and then place recovery.img into /sdcard/
and open terminal emulator (download frm market)
and type
su
and press allow
now type the following
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and if i helped u press thanks

If you achieved root then why not just download ROM manager (play store) and flash CWM through the app or if you want TWRP instead which I recommend the get the goo app from the play store and flash TWRP through that app in the same manner.

I've been scouring the forum for information on how to resolve my problem but none that really help me with my specific problem
I want to re root with clockwork but can't find anything on it

Completly factory reset your phone n try rooting again . If it fails, you need to root using the same software as you did earlier

So with my original method I've rerooted my phone. How do I install clockwork mod on a rooted phone if it wasn't installed in the rooting process?
Take a look at the "goo manager " app and TWRP instead of CWM.
But CWM also has an easy install app if your phone is supported. Just see if it is or not and go from there either way.

I'm on Rogers Carrier OEM firmware right now and I'd like to flash the international firmware as to rid bloatware to my Note 2.
Which app would you recommend me to backup my rom with?
I've successfully rerooted, I found the problem with my phone. After it had been unrooted it needed to be rebooted in order for some effects to take change. So through the original method of CF-Auto Root, I rerooted my phone. I've installed the standalone ClockWorkMod app but it doesn't seem to make back ups properly. Through the app I hit back up and it shows the time stamp I hit 'ok' and my phone shuts off and starts up in recovery mode only not in ClockWorkMod but Android system recovery <e3> or something along those lines with only options to: reboot, install updates from adb, wipe data, etc.
What am I doing wrong?
Try installing the recovert img using clockworkmod before backups, because its not an app error, it is a user error. Using chainfires root method means no cwm. Using odin or lemme guess, you have a gs3, unified tool kit you get cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What recovery do you have right now? If it's twrp (team win) do that go with clockwork mod. Twrp (goo manager) is by far (in my opinion) the best and user friendly. But it's your call. And you don't have to un root and re root to do it. You just have to flash the new recovery via bootloader and it will work. For rom choices I personally like jedi xpx and jellybam. With jedi xpx you can overclock the sh*t out of your note 2 to 1920 and it's still stable.
I've used many recoveries and twrp is my choice hands down. And yiu make back ups easier. So dont unroot again and re root. Just download the latest twrp and flash through bootloader. but to each their own

I'm on the Galaxy Note 2 i317m in Canada. Clockworkmod isn't letting me back up, everytime I get the box with the timestamp to create a back up I hit 'ok', my phone reboots into recovery mode and its the stock recovery, so no option to restore. Also when my phone's model isn't listed in the clockworkmod flashing menu within the app. Is my phone not supported? The N7100 is the one listed when it asks you do confirm a phone model.

I'm going to recommend that you DO NOT use the dd method posted above. Its dangerous. If you were to type the wrong partition, you could very easily brick your device.
If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
Or use rom manager

Using EZ Recovery and those recovery img files at that link work for me to get an older recovery installed. Also verified that I can successfully reboot the phone from recovery again.
