Flashing a Recovery image from a Mac? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've just rooted my GSII LTE and want to flash a recovery image now but I only have access to a Mac at the moment. Is it a bad idea to use Rom Manager; I hear a lot of people warning to stay away from it these days. Is there another way I can flash a custom recovery from a Mac?
Thanks.

Odin for mac I guess.
Either that or windows virtual machine/bootcamp.

If you rooted then use goo manager to flash twrp. After that you could flash any recovery in our Dev section, as long as its in .zip format

how did you root? didnt you first install cwm to flash the su files, if so you have a custom recovery already installed, now you can just use zip files to install a diff recovery or do what cdshepherd stated

You can do it easy!
I used this and it worked flawlessly. It is in some other language but all I had to do was click on it and then hit enter.
It is just easier, not that I wouldn't be able to do it using the normal method. But, if there is an easy way like this out there why bother.

modified 3e recovery has become an obsolete method... It is WAY easier just to odin flash the Community kernel. Instant CWM and Voodoo
My Infuse is rooted & stock Rom.
Can someone tell me how to install these or tell me if I am fine.
1. Put the phone into debugging mode
2. Run the .bat file
Do I have to reboot or something?
After running the .bat file the recovery is already modded?
Thanks for your answers.

It's simpler to get ODIN, get the Community kernel, and use ODIN to flash the kernel, instant CWM and Voodoo.
I'm not sure how to install this. I got my infuse literally yesterday and I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of installing roms. I tried to replace the recovery file using the manual 3e method but was unscessful. I was hoping to use this installer, but I don't know how to execute it. I tried putting the phone in debugging mode, and going to root explorer but there is no way to open it.

Make sure your in debug mode. Connect it to pc. Run the bat file, wait untill you see success prompts. After its all done, you should see a blinking cursor.
Test it out. I did and it does work.

Hi there! If really want to try the best way is to install sgs kernel flasher from the market, find and download the community voodoo kernel, then use sgs kernel flasher and install.
Note: there are also all kinds of video floating around of how to do a few things. May want to check those out too.

The problem I've seen with the 5.0.2.7 CWM Recovery is the inability to successfully do an Advanced Restore of selected partitions. Say you only want to restore /Data, if you try to do that with 5.0.2.7 it will fail because of the inability to selectively extract using TAR. Doing a full normal restore works fine.
Has the Advanced Restore been fixed in this version? Note, Advanced Restore works perfect in the Modaco 4.0.0.9 recovery, because it doesn't use TAR.

[Q] Replace Rom Mgr CWM with Sk8erwitskil's?

I read through the 12 pages about sk8erwitskil's Touch Recovery 6.0.1.0 and from what I can see, you can download the zip & flash using the rom manager / TOUCH cwm version from the store?
I can see the obvious benefits in the time it takes to do a nandroid backup alone!
But if you already have Touch v. 5x,is it still recommended for rogers sgh - i727R, and are there other benefits? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

It will replace it. The difference is the cwm v/s skater version is on his you scroll down and pick each item on the cwm version you touch the item you want. I accidentally hit format emmc and screwed my phone. Lol. Got it back thru Odin.

stay away from rom manager, on most custom roms when you hit the power button to shutdown the phone there is a "boot into recovery" option

And if that option isn't there an app called quickboot will do the job nicely. I agree with staying away from ROM manager if at all possible. You'll learn more about your phone plus have less chance of screwing it up.

I thought that it was flashed when we rooted my phone? Anyway, I found it.... It's on the internal memory... So I imagine that I can use touch 6.0.1.0 and flash it from the internal, or should I move it to the external sd card?
There's no problem with flashing roms with TWRP I gather, at least not from what I've read?
I kinda like the non manual way of getting into recovery

internal or external doesnt matter, if you are already have a custom recovery just install the zip file for cwm 6, if you want twrp just use goo manager since you are already rooted, either one works just fine its just a matter of preference, plus you can switch back and forth between the recoveries as many times as you wish just by reinstalling the recovery.
fyi: someone did make a tar file for twrp to install on stock and a zip file to flash w/cwm, its somewhere in the thread for twrp, once i find it ill post in the skyrocket sticky. theres also an .img file to use with an emulator or adb from twrp site

I've already flashed sk8er's 6.0.1.0 & when I rooted my phone, I used TWRP & tar with cd's guidance. When you say "reinstalling the recovery", do you mean by just flashing the alternate recovery with whichever one you are using ie; flash TWRP if you're using cwm & vice versa?

[Q] Is it safe to flash TWRP over CWM via Odin?

Hi, I want to switch from CWM to TWRP.
I tried flashing TWRP on SGH-T989 before but I started from unrooting my phone then root it (just flashed TWRP instead of CWM and flash SuperSU)
I would like to know if I can just flash TWRP using ODIN on this phone if I'm currently using CWM 5.0.x.x?
Please let me know.
Thank you

You dont flash anything. You open goo manager hit menu and press "install open recovery script" it will open up directly to the right file for skyrocket recovery and then download and automatically install. Simple
But before you do anything now on.. Read this thread about how to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622917 so you dont do something bad.

Still no recovery. Goomanager can't find recovery.So I flashed twrp and it asks for password like data is incripted. I don't under stand how the stock recovery works fine.

Ok so you installed that stock ROM via odin right? What version of twrp are u using? Go back into goomanager and try to run open recovery script again what error msg do u get? I am about to have no data for about hour. I'll come check the thread ASAP

Yes, installed rom with complete wipe. TWRP 2.5.0.0 and CWR 6.0.3.1. Goomanager "No recoveries were found for your device".

I just don't under stand why this new phone is giving me so much difficulty. I have another GS3 bought back in 2012 and no troubles at all, running Hyperdrive 16 rom works great. I've been trying to get this phone to work for about a week now. I'm not one to give up so easly, but I'm about to turn it in for warrenty. Sorry my spelling sucks. I hate being beat by software. There has to be a way.

Ok good material but a little confusing. So I need to use chome to be able to down load pit file and flash it with oden with reboot, F timer & repartion checked. Than reflash stock rom. Is this correct or I need to do something else?

Looks to be about what the directions stated, I've rarely seen Pit files referenced.
