I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone if you flash this file to your phone.
Updated to Cwmod recovery version 6.0.3.2 for GT-S500L
I recommend you use heimdall to flash it.
I don't recommend to use odin, but I packaged it to be flashable with odin anyway . It seems some people have problems with odin YMMV.
I recommend to use heimdall
In the attachments is the original recovery.img so you can revert to stock if you want.
Bugs:
Power button is the only one that works to select current option
Requirements:
Linux:
p7zip
heimdall
Windows:
7-zip
heimdall or odin
How to install :
Using heimdall:
Linux:
Unpack it
1)7z e cwmod-GT-S7500L.zip
2)7z e cwmod-GT-S7500L.tar.md5 ; you will get file recovery.img
You could also use unzip then rename to just .tar then extract recovery.img using tar
Flash it
1) put phone in download mode
2) connect phone to pc
3) heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img or heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img
Windows :
1)unpack zip file to get tar.md5 file then again to get recovery.img
2) put phone in download mode

I guess is the same command in command line
4) heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
Using Odin: (You should be using heimdall)
Unpack zip file to get cwmod-GT-S7500L.tar.md5

Corsario_Negro for odin section and testing
I saw your post in the Gellybread ROM thread. I was gonna ask you which CWM were you using until I saw this.
I'm a Windows user, so I'll try to flash this with Odin and report back.

Thank you so much for this!
This CWM looks promising!
Just one question, can someone try installing it via S7500L's stock recovery?

Why would you want to do that, when you can use Heimdall or Odin?

Try something else then, 3 times is a lot, install heimdall go to http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ scroll down a bit and youll see the download links then try to flash recovery.img with it.

I don't trust Odin that much (the author himself agrees with it here), and I have never used Heimdall, even when I'm Linux user. I just felt safer by copying the CWM file to the phone and using stock recovery to apply the update.
By the way, my base band version is S7500LVJLA5, I'm still in total stock (no custom CWM, no custom ROM). Do you think it could work on mine?
And what Heimdall version should I use? It's said 1.3.2 broke compatibility...

Try with 1.3.1, binaries are already created and is what the dev recommends.

While I've never had a problem with Odin in the last 4 years, you make an interesting point.
I'll give Heimdall a try sometime in the future.
I know this is a bit offtopic, by have you, Elruki or Corsario_Negro, tried TheWhisp's CM 10 or 10.1?

Nope. Odin flashes tar files, while TWRP flashes zip files.

Hi guys,
First of all I apologize if this has already been asked or is not allowed.
Anyhow, do you any of you know where I can get a recovery (older twrp) flashable zip file of the latest TWRP?? Goo Manager won't download and my phone just doesn't work with Odin anymore, I can't even plug it in to a PC and have it detect as a USB device. So I'm stuck with uploading/downloading files to my phone to Airdroid and just flashing through TWRP.
Thanks!

Download the img off the TWRP site and use an app such as Flashify or EZ Recovery to find the img on your phone and flash. Start here and search for our device.

Hi just a quick question it says in the instruction that I shouldn't use .zip file link to the instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659, how can I install this recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip?
Here is the link for the tut that I follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759541&highlight=how+to
You can only flash the zip in a custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery you need to install it with Odin. You'll need a .tar.md5 recovery file to flash in Odin.

The instruction says to use this version of recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip the only problem is that it is in .zip format, does this recovery has a version of .tar.md5? Or an alternative recovery file that I can install using Odin to install the kikat custom rom? Thanks for the reply and help.

Use this in odin ] This will install twrp custom recovery. Once installed then flash (install) your recovery zip in it.
The recovery.tar.zip needs to be extracted with 7-zip.
EDIT, I edit this post to remove the the dev host link. DO NOT use the dev host file. Use the.tar.zip

You will just get a .img file. Just download "flashify" from the playstore. It will download/install twrp.
So first I should download the .IMG file then download flashify and using this app I can flash twrp
