A recovery solution to bring the phone back to factory default, it will unroot you as part of the process. You do this if you can't boot or you're sending it back for a warranty.

[Q] what recovery is use

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??
I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.
Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

There is one for froyo and one for GB.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

Again, do not use ROM Manager. It does not work correctly with our phones. Whatever you need to flash, use ODIN or CWM. I'm not sure about UOT Kitchen though.
you flash UOT files though CWM, it works fine and I've done it many times.
Don't use Rom Manager.

So im using one of Dr honks's kernals. The 2.3.3 one with the messed up rainbow screen when you boot it up. Ive already had 4 problems with it and ive been running this for 3 days. Plus I cant even get into recovery. Is there a stable 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 kernal that has recovery?

All of them besides anythin 2.3.3. Stay away from anything of that build.

sounds like you don't have the correct boot loaders on your phone, and you didn't flash gingerbread properly the first time around.
follow FB's directions to get your phone on a correct gingerbread build with the right boot loaders:

keep it tho honestly because this is the only real device that sucks with rom manger and u wont always have that phone
Raver has a great app on his ROM for CWM access..it's called Quick Boot..get it from market. Remember with GB I'd use kj1 from drhonk. Only use Bali 2.3 with froyo.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Do you guys think that if I do a 2.3.5 kernal by Dr Honks that I wont have to factory rest my phone? Cuz I finally have my phone all organized and the way I like it most and that take forever.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
If u do that through CWM recovery then no u won't.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Kj1 would work best.. DL it through the phone if u want, move it to sd from the download folder (could be tapatalk folder depending on which browser u use) and flash through CWM . Should be pain free.

[Q] Samsung infuse.

Hello all wondering if I fried my phone. It is rooted and I am trying to flash the sgs v2 rom. It has been on Samsung screen for thirty minutes now. Did I screw up? Thanks for advice...
yeah probably. where did you find the rom?
look for gtgs ultimate unbrick and that should clear things up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
Used the one from rom manager. I followed all steps provided. Sorry the gtgs v2 rom. Is the one I did..
Second phone I broke. I'm learning though... lol thanks for your help..
I have rooted this phone and the other. Also have rooted my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi and I am running the new ICS rom. Love it!!!!
sorry im not familiar w that rom but the ultimate unbrick will put you back at stock and you can start over. it can be a pita at times but it never fails

If the screen turns on, you're not hardbricked, use one of gtg465x's unbrick packages.

Honestly i think ODIN is windows only You might need to torrent a windows 7 iso and just install it without a key in bootcamp. If your phone is busted it's probably worth all the trouble.
I fixed thanks for everyone's help

No problem. There's no way unless you flash a custom ROM that's as closed to stock as possible.
Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 4G LTE
^ agreed! flash a custom stock rom in recovery such as beans or synergy...thats as close as you will get to stock without using odin.
Took me awhile to figure this out.
And what I found out is you have to flash one of the stock roms before the kernel or it won't work. You have to be unlocked of course. Flash any Rom in cwm then after it installs and your still in recovery flash the stock kernel. Here's a link to the kernel
