Go download the stock images and pull the recovery.img from them.

You can get stock recovery off the Motodev page.
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
You need to sign up though, which doesn't take long at all.
Surely the image on Motodev is for v3 of android so it won't be the stock recovery from 4.0.4
I don't want to re-flash my entire Xoom again as recovering apps etc is a pain...

Who has the VM USA Galaxy S2 variant, what did you flash and are currently running? I am curious to know what others use as daily drivers, what has worked for them, and how they went about obtaining it.
I have looked around but to no avail in the last few months have I seen a huge dev support for SPH-D710VMUB. I have successfully updated my phone to sxtp GB28 Rom w/ root and MidnightRom but have not tried CM10.1 because of rom issues and flashing confusion.
I have recently flashed CarbonRom (LOVE IT) because it was listed in MidnightRoms goomanager app under "other compatible roms". At the time I did not know it was strictly for Sprint but it took okay. Everything seems to work flawlessly except data of course (no 3G/4G therefore no MMS, GPS, etc.) I have looked at APN apps (have a thread made for that), but no luck on getting any of it to work.
Check out my thread on CarbonRom. I'm thinking of close it down since I have this one up now. It has images and links however.

Found another awesome rom called ReVolt:

Check it out. Probably need to flash a Sprint ICS or older modem to get data to work on Virgin Mobile.
Btw, I did get data working by flashing a Sprint ICS/GB modem. Check out my thread on that.

I'd like to introduce another awesome ROM called Domination. Go check it out for the E4GT.

Note that these are ROMs that I have tested. There could be more out there!

If you want to recover your touchwiz nandroid coming from a CM10 based ROM or clockwork mod recovery, you will need to restore first time using CWM then when your new ROM and recovery are flashed, boot up system then go back into recovery (which should now be Agats) and restore the nandroid one more time doing this.
The reason being, CM10 CWM is not fully compatible with TW basedbased ROMs and so they won't fully restore your ROM. I figured this out myself.

Did you use clockwork to install those? If so how did you install it?

The best ROM I have found for my Samsung Galaxy SII is "RootBox-JB-i9100-V4.0". Long battery life, super fast UI, all latest utilities and features. I love my SII with this ROM

It's a little complicated than that. Remember, on Samsung phones, the rom and recovery are intertwined. Meaning when you flash your ROM it will have a recovery specific to that ROM. CWM/CM10 recoveries aren't fully compatible with TouchWiz Roms. You'll need an altered version of CWM/TWRP for that.
I went and flashed GB28 rooted with Agats recovery by sxtp developers. It has a full tutorial on that page. Specific to virgin mobile. You'll need to download the drivers and software and its pretty straight forward. I'll post a link.
If you want to go from there to a CM10 based ROM afterwards, I can help you.

No. Most all of the ROMs you flash will have root access in one form or another. TW will have SuperSU and CM10, SuperUser/BusyBox most likely. So don't worry about root. And when you flash a ROM, you will be flashing its new recovery also. No, it should not mess anything up if you follow the method specific to the ROM.

Here is what I would do: Use Odin (mobile or PC) to flash a rooted version of your stock ROM. It could have a recovery to it or not. If not, then after you flash the stock ROM, flash a compatible recovery. I used Agats for TW. Once you have that, download the CM10 zip, boot into recovery. It is advised you follow their instructions however this is how I did mine. It worked for the most part.
Once you are in agats cwm recovery, wipe data/ factory reset/cache/dalvik. Don't think you need to format, but to he safe it'd be system/cache/data (check on that). Don't format internal or you will lose everything (like backups and zips among the important). You can then flash your ROM and gapps.
Reboot, will take a little while. Then go back into recovery when you can (it should be a new recovery that came with the ROM). Do all of the same methods above for a clean install of your ROM in this new recovery. Boot, and you SHOULD be set to go. Hope this helps.

You can google virgin mobile galaxy s2 gb28 recovery. It'll be on sex tapes forums. Follow their guide and they will have rooted and unrooted versions of the official jellybean release with agats. Also look for a user named TheBritton who has, literally a "noobs guide" to all ROMs/methods with links, for our phone. I'll find a link.

Yes, it did for me. I used Mobile Odin Pro because it was updated to recognize our version of E4GT. Try it on the free version and see if it takes.
How do I know if it took?

Is it done? Boot into recovery. Download ROM toolbox and use its Rebooter menu. Or do the manual way.

So you have the recovery flashed then. Which? Agats is for Touchwiz based ROMs not Cyanogenmod technically. Try my method. Go to sxtps website and look for GB28 w/Agats recovery. Flash a touchwiz ROM, like MidnightRom, then try CM10. (Or one of the better ROMs mentioned in this thread).

I don't have enough posts to post in the thread for Jamal's 4.2.2 Google Experience ROM, but this was so close to stock that I got a 4.3 OTA update!. Sweet!
Thanks, jamal!
Well, I guess that didn't work since I don't have a stock recovery. Anyone know how to bring an OTA update into recovery?
Recovery isn't your only problem. Even if you flashed the stock recovery, it'll fail at attempting to flash the bootloader or modem.

I'm having difficulty updating to 4.2.2 for reasons still unclear. Any chance anybody here has a clean boot.img for plc_cl (cricket wireless) with the new ota (4.2.2 with touch 5) included?

download and install BMM from gplay and hv a look at the dev section.....:laugh:
First warning: don't flash 2.3 fxz or any other fxz not for AT&T or you'll have a brick
Now we just care about BMM, don't install other recoveries
If you are on 4.0.4 official, just go to PS and install BMM (Boot Menu Manager), usage is around
