Help installing Rom and CWM - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted my phone for the 1st time the other day using the basic CF autoroot. I have been looking into trying a new Rom. I wanted to try ARHD but it just isn't downloading at all been trying that for 2 days so thought I would try another. Downloading Criskelo at the mo.
As I don't really know what I am doing at the mo I have been looking into it. Now it always says:
"This rom will be installed by recovery mode, your device need Clock work mode recovery before installing."
And looking into how to download that i have to download rom manager and install CWM through rom manager right? Well I cant download rom manager as its "Not available in my country" i have tried variousways to get around this. Modded play store and that app that fakes your sim country (cant remember what its called)
Now my main question is how can i get around this do you NEED to have CWM or is there something else i can use or is it just not going to be possible to put any custom roms on my phone.
I live in Macau btw
Cheers

Help Needed for Roms on Wind Mobile S3 (SGH-T999v)

I recently purchased and rooted my galaxy S3 on Wind mobile (SGH-T999v) running on 4.1.1 and i have encountered issues installing roms onto the device let alone finding roms that are compatible with the phone. I am completely honest in saying that I have no experience in using android (I had an iphone before but it sucked ) but I am eager to learn the many additional features that are available by rooting. I have looked through threads on this site but I have had trouble finding roms to use. I tried installing cyanogenmod 10 by following the instructions for wind S3's on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775616 but to no avail. I booted my device in recovery then cleared user data and cache before booting the zip file for cyanogenmod. After a few seconds it would say installation aborted. Since I am new to the rooting scene it might be a simple mistake that I am making. If anyone knows some way to fix this or anything that could help that would be great.
Besides that, if anyone wants to share any good roms/themes that I could use and that would work on Wind mobile it would be much appreciated. Like I said earlier I am brand new to rooting so please pardon my inexperience. Thanks
You're probably using an outdated version of CWM Recovery. If you are rooted, go into the Play Store, install GooManager, and install TWRP, boot into recovery, and try to install Cyanogen Mod 10 using that

How do you preform an update for CWM, i used TWRP to boot in recovery mode but i dont think it did anything, then tried installing by running the Cyanogenmod zip file in recovery mode but it failed again

Can't install ClockworkMod recovery on my LG Optimus G E973 (Telus Canada)

Hi,
I'm really new into the Android world and don't really know everything yet, so please understand if I say stupid things
So, I just root my phone and now, I would like to install ClockworkMod recovery. I installed ROM Manager from the Play Store but when I want to install the recovery it says " Sorry! Until ClockworkMod recovery is availble, ROM Manager will not work with LG-E973!"
Is there another way to install this recovery please?
Thank you!

You can use freegee app, but if you are on JB 4.1.2 there is only TWRP available... but it is as good as CWM

I'm not familiar with SVA ROM so I'm assuming it is a Galaxy Note ROM and as they have different hardware you cannot install it on the Haipai N7102.
GG
Thankyou for the info, are there any other options for the haipai 7102n to install custom roms or anything?

Trying like hell to root this thing...

So far ive tried superoneclick... froze on step 7
tried manually installing superuser... couldnt verify.
tried installing a root zip... couldnt verify.
the only thing that claims to have worked is clockworkmod... except that it will NOT allow me access to any of the actual rooted functions.
i was able to download superuser (which you cannot download from google play unless rooted- that worked.)
trying to keep the OS on it now while being able to delete bloatware, for a friend.
is it purely impossible to root a stock rom? why can i install programs that requre root but i cannot use them for their intended purpose (rom manager says it cant find superuser in either of 2 locations).
what the heck am i missing?? ive been googling and trying methods for hours to no avail. cant boot into cwm recovery at all, by rom manager or from powered off (it goes into stock recovery.).
what else can i do?

Did you watch the video in the CWM thread?
Tell me your steps EXACTLY and we'll figure it out.
Finally got it to work. i guess the magic step is not letting odin auto reboot. I was afraid not to let it because its not even mine. But, i followed the video in that thread exactly and that let my root zip install correctly.
phew!

How can i create a back up on my s4 mini

Hi all. I have rooted my s4 mini using kingroot. I have installed adaway and xmod because they were my main reasons for rooting. But i'd like to go a bit deeper now and learn a bit more about rooting as im a novice. But before i can do that ive read that i should create a back up, am i right in thinking a nandroid and a back up are the same thing? Well anyway my problem is ive tried to create a back up using cwm rom recovery but my device is not supported. Ive also read something aboit phils cwm recovery 6 ( at least i think it was called that) but from my understanding i need access to a laptop or a pc to be able to take that route. I dont have access to a pc or laptop at the moment so im just here to ask if anybody can advise me on how i can create a back up for my device. My plan is to learn the ropes using this device as its an old device and when im more comfortable im going to root my galaxy alpha. Any help and answers will be appreciated, im not so great with tech and the lingo but im wanting to learn. Thanks
Unrooted
Well i have unrooted to be safe. My son plays with my phone and i dont feel safe without out a back up or nandroid. I would still like info so i can reroot n get adaway back and xmod for the unlimited lives on candy crush, and sandbox mode on clash of clans. If anybody has any info that could be of any use to me, even just a link to point me in the right direction it would be great.
Try installing TWRP for backups. i am also a beginner but i tried backing up the stock rom, flashing custome roms, And restoring the backups. Done this almost five times a week.
Here are files.

Forgot to mention that my stock rom is 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I had flashed cm12.1 rom before, which triggered my knox to 0x1.
Thanks il check those out now
Yes twrp is a good recovery...i am using it too and it can be installed without a pc
Davidich could you direct me to a link or explain how i can install it without using a pc. Do i need root to install it or can i create recovery then reroot? Is it as simple as finding file and installing it by checking unknown sources. Then opening up twrp app and applying recovery? Or do i need to go into download mode to apply it? Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks
Well ive rooted again and installed twrp because i needed root access to enter twrp. When i open twrp it asks me to install busy box, i accept the request but it doesnt download. What is busybox? Do i need it to back up? Ive just read something about mounting system using terminal emulator and then that should allow busybox to download. Am i going in the right direction?
Please Anyone give me a backup of stock rom for Samsung galaxy s4 m919

Busy box can be downloaded directly from play store. As for installing a recovery without a computer well that's RISKY. There are apps that can help like Flashfire, Rashr and Flashify. These can flash various things without a custom recovery. BUT they are not guaranteed to work. My experience is with Flashfire by Chainfire. With this I was able to flash a stock ROM without a computer. But the app when I last looked was in beta stage. Also if something goes wrong you will need a computer to fix... If it hasn't bricked your phone. Sooo much safer thru Odin on a computer.

Yes,i used flashify.First i flashed a recovery.img(downloaded from xda) and when i got a custom recovery,i flashed the last version of twrp.at first yes i get a soft brick because flashed a recovery for i9195L but then i re flashed another for i9195 and that's ok.if you want to try: from here download recovery.img ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589011 ,when you flashed the recovery...flash this one https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763032 from recovery
