Listen to x, he knows his stuff

I have the skyrocket and also the HD
Below is the instructions to install CWM and root on the S2 HD LTE. (credit to the user dsixda)
Get the required files here
To install CWM Recovery:
If you don't already have Odin, download it from the link above, and extract the zipped file to a folder. Ensure both the .EXE and .INI file have been extracted.
Download the TAR file for ClockWorkMod Recovery (e.g. cwm_recovery_xxxx.tar, or if you want the version that uses finger touch input: cwm_touch_recovery_xxxx.tar). Do not extract the file out of it, keep the TAR file as it is.
Turn off the phone
Put it into Download mode by pressing Power and Volume Down at the same time. The device will vibrate and soon you will see a Warning screen, where you will need to press Volume Up to enter Download mode. (NOTE: You can also use the Galaxy S2 USB Jig to go straight to Download mode. I recommend you get one from eBay just in case.)
While in Download mode, start up Odin and connect your phone to the PC via USB. You should see a status message in Odin saying your device was "added".
In Odin, press the BOOTLOADER button and select the CWM TAR file you just downloaded.
In Odin, press Start. Your custom recovery should be flashed completely in a span of a few seconds, and then it should say "PASS" in Odin. If it doesn't finish and is stuck, then your file was either corrupted during the download or there was an MD5 mismatch (this is not a regular TAR file, it has an MD5 signature).
IMPORTANT: If you downloaded the "Touch" version of CWM, *avoid* using the "Reboot to Recovery" option in the ROM or apps like Quick Boot to boot into recovery. I have found that using such apps with Touch Recovery causes every subsequent reboot to go back into recovery rather than to the system. If you are stuck in this state, re-flash the recovery image so that it boots back to the system. Next time, if you want to get into recovery, use the button combination mentioned in the steps below instead. If you have the non-touch (normal) version of CWM, this issue won't happen.
To enter CWM Recovery:
Turn off the phone
Hold down the Power button to turn the phone on, and then immediately hold down Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time.
The device will then show the word "Samsung". Let go of the buttons at the exact moment you see this.
If you did it on time, you will enter CWM Recovery. Use the Volume keys to move up and down, and press Power to select. The capacitive buttons do this: Menu = DOWN, Back = BACK to main menu, Search = SELECT
NOTE: If you had flashed CWM but are still seeing the stock recovery image, then re-flash CWM and afterwards pull the USB cable immediately after seeing 'PASS' in Odin, while the phone's screen is black. Then do the button combo shown above to get into CWM.
Make sure you make a Nandroid backup of everything the first time you use custom recovery. The backup will be stored under the 'clockworkmod' folder of your SD card.
To root your device through CWM:
This step is only if you want to root the stock firmware that is currently on your device. If you are going to flash a ROM like CyanogenMod, then you can skip this section, since most custom ROMs already have root installed.
You need to first download root_sgs2hdbell.zip from the Dev-Host site linked above. Copy it to your device's internal or external SD card.
Then go back into CWM and flash the ZIP. You should now be rooted, you don't need to do anything else to your stock ROM.

great!!! since you can enter download mode I am gonna say you the easiest way to get your phone back in running condition..
*Download ODIN (google for the download link or search here in forums)
*Download a stock firmware from samfirmware (www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647 and extract the downloaded file to .tar.md5
*Install samsung USB drivers.
*Get your phone into Download mode and connect it to PC via usb cable.
*Open ODIN and check if the com port section and turned yellow(this means your phone is recognised by ODIN).
*Once the port section is yellow open the PDA section in ODIN and point the downloaded stock firmware in it.(the firmware file should be of format "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5").This format is just for example and it may vary depending on the stock ROM you dowloaded.
*Click the start button.
*Once finished the ODIN com port section will turn green and should report "PASS"
*Disconnect your phone and Power on.. wait for some time as its the first boot so it will take time so be patient.

tweeks are to to edit your build.prop and CWM(ClockWorkMOD) which allows you to create a backup point which you can restore via recovery and also let you flash ROM,MOD,etc and SuperUser is the app which comes into play after rooting which give root access to your phone/apps.
@themes:since you are on stock you can download any launcher like go launcher from market and download themes from there

so, how can i install jb or ics themes on my phone, I just want theme not the whole rom. or is there any custom gingerbread rom(stable like stock rom) for installing jb themes..? :0

I have downloaded the frankenstain rom for flashing,But when I try to enter in recovery mode The screen fades and restarting normally. Is there any other settings for installing a rom..?
BTW when I opens the CWM in my menu it shows 'this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-ROOT v5.0 or newer.It appears you are running on a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.' Is that the problem with the kernel i have rooted..?

To enter recovery mode you should press Volume UP+Home Button+Power Button.press it long enough till samsung logo passes by.. and even my screen fades when I try it manually... try it for 4-5 times till you enter in recovery and dont worry when screen fades,its not an issue...
maybe your kernel is not compatible with the present version of CWM and since its not compatible some features might have been disabled and its no big deal....Custom ROM is zip and should be flashed via recovery so that you can wipe data/cache/dalvik..

why don't you make a package file flashable root (SuperSU + BusyBox) to be more efficient

I have a question. After this root, stock recovery will be replaced by CWM. So is it possible to go back to stock recovery after rooting?? And If it is possible then will be noticeable by samsung if I go to samsung care??
I'm new in rooting....

It's not necessary to remove it, however, it's better to do so before any rom installation (just in case your rom installation went wrong and you needed to take your phone to samsung care/service center).

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and effort!
Worked like a charm!

Yes, it looks like bad wireless home network. Thanks for the info!
The method is easy and well constructed, but I want to add something else:
I think is better to add in step 4 - Copy SuperSU-v1.25.zip and BusyBox.zip to root of External SD of your Phone
Newbies will avoid to turn off their devices.

noob question
Can I just install root update using stock recovery mode without installing CWM ?

You cant.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hi, is there any data loss with this procedure?
Does the CWM Recovery use any space on the device or card after?

Hi There,
It goes all well for these steps..
How to root ?
-Open Odin 3.07.exe
-Put your phone into Download Mod
(Power button-Home button-Volume down button,at same time)
-When you enter in Download Mod, you should get blue box on Odin 3.07
-Uncheck Auto Reboot option
-Go to PDA and find your recovery, then click on OK
-After you checked everything click on Start
-It should take around up to 30-40 seconds
- When its finished take out battery, put it again
but after putting battery back in.. i cant seem to get in CWM it just get stuck on Samsung Galaxy Screen where it shows model of the phone which is GT-I9105P. And after waiting for 5 min it automatically reboots and phone starts normal. And if i try to goto CWM it takes me to stock CWM.
Any help?
Thanks alot in advance.

[Q] tablet not working properly

when i factory reset the tab and installed a rom. it started normally. i did everything normally and it showed google account manager has stopped.
so i tried going into CWM recovery mode but got me into stock recovery so factory reset the tablet and then tried wipe cache participation but shows error. I think that the problem is the cache and the dalvich. but i cant use usb debugging so i cant delete the cache and the dalvich.
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
so does any body know how to fix this
thanks in advance :laugh:

You are not reading what you are typing.
Obvious answer: If you end up in the STOCK RECOVERY you simply do not have a custom recovery installed (Clockworkmod as you wrote). Get yourself a copy of a recent recovery from AndroidAndi's download repository (TWRP, Clockworkmod Swipe, PhilZ Touch), and flash the .tar.md5 of the recovery with ODIN in download mode.
Obvious question: How did you flash a ROM, other than some OTA Stock Samsung update on the device itself, in the first place when you don't have a custom recovery installed in order to do so?
EDIT: What exactly do you mean by "factory reset"? Did you re-flash your tablet with a Stock ROM? If that's the case, then any custom recovery you had installed was wiped and replaced with the stock recovery. Hence why you now don't have a custom recovery anymore.

Odin won't recognise my tablet in Odin mode neither does my computer is there another to install a CWM recovery. By the the I do have back up on the phone if that helps.

Just to recap on the steps you should have done...
1. You downloaded the .tar.md5 of the recovery you want to install, from Android Andi's filehost, on your PC
2. You installed the Samsung USB drivers on your computer
3. You installed ODIN on your computer
4. You unplugged the tablet from the charger and powered it off
5. You took your tablet and HELD VOL-UP while you powered it back on (to get into bootloader mode)
6. You plugged the tablet in to the computer and waited for a moment while Windows was installing the driver
--- Here the story ends, according to what you wrote as you say ODIN does not find the tablet.
Well, are you sure you did the steps so far in that order? Can't be that ODIN doesn't detect the tablet when it's operational (read: no a total dead brick) and it's in download mode.
The ONLY problem possible: You installed Samsung KIES, and not just the USB drivers, on your computer. KIES interferes with ODIN. You need to exit ODIN, bring up the Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and select "Task Manager"), find "kies" and end the running process(es) - ignore any warning message.
If that's too complicated: Uninstall KIES and then find the "Samsung Mobile USB drivers" installation package ... with a bit of searching (just to assign some homework to you) you will the links right here in this forum section more than just once.
Once KIES is terminated, or uninstalled and just the USB drivers installed, start ODIN again ... now it should detect the tablet.
Once ODIN confirms that the tablet is detected...
7. Select the .tar.md5 of the recovery as the "PDA"
8. Flash the recovery. Once complete the tablet rebooted into the newly installed recovery.
As for on-device flashing. That's possible...
- Your installed ROM must be ROOTED (no root, no fun)
- You need Chainfire's "MobileODIN" (the free version from the Play Store would suffice), and you need to let MobileODIN install the "p311x flashkernel package" (I think with the free version you need to download it manually from Chainfire's thread and install it manually) - jump into Chainfire's thread and read on
Once you have Mobile ODIN installed it is just a matter of:
- Download the .tar.md5 of the recovery on your tablet once more (or transfer it over from your PC)
- Start Mobile ODIN
- Select the .tar.md5 of the recovery (should automatically be set as a "PDA")
- Flash and reboot into the recovery
However, as a fair warning ... as with every flashing of your device ... keep in mind something could go wrong (just to straighten it out that there's always room for user mistakes or murphy's law getting into the way ("Everything that can go wrong will go wrong"))

For future reference: keeping VOL DOWN UP held while powering on/rebooting the tablet takes you into the recovery in case you borked the system and selecting "Reboot" -> "Recovery" from within the _custom_ ROM's power menu is not an option (the Stock Samsung ROM does not have that option by default). Though keep in mind that this only works when the tablet is _NOT_ connected to the charger/computer ... when the USB cable is plugged in it seems to ignore the hardware keys.

Umm isn't recovery power and volume UP? At least that's how it is on my 7'' tablet and the 10'' I rooted and installed a ROM on.

Now that you mention it... yes, you're right jrc... "VOL DOWN" == Download Mode / "VOL UP" == Recovery (I failed to recall the "UP as in update.zip" association).
