I have the Boost Mobile s2. I rooted it with the framaroot.apk but I don't know how to put a custom recovery on it so I can make backups. I have the gc01 which I updated my phone with on Kies. Which recovery do you recommend and how do I put it on my phone? I'm a bit of a noob on this so please help.

The safest custom recovery is EL26. Personally I use chris41g's. It can be found here. Just flash the tar using pc Odin, reboot into recovery, and you are good to go. However, make sure before you do that you save a stock(or custom) zip kernel of the rom build you are on so you can flash it once you are done in cwm. Personally, I would use Agat's kernel, flash it after you do your backup, that way you always have cwm good luck. I'm on Boost too. Let me know if you have any questions.

Where do I get EL26? I'm a little apprehensive about using pc odin. I soft bricked my phone using it a couple of times. Like I said before I'm on gc01 and I used framaroot to root the phone and had to flash an fi22 kernel and update to jelly bean through Kies again. I'm not an expert when it comes to Samsungs lol. I had an HTC before and it was so easy lol. I love this phome though. I attached a screenshot of where I'm at.

The link I attached has the EL26. I understand your frustration, but I assure you if you do it right, it is completely safe. But if you insist on not using it, you can use Mobile Odin since you are already rooted. It's in the play store, and worth every penny. But pc Odin is free . Your call. Either way, make sure you have a gc01 kernel in zip format to flash back to after your backup.

That's fine. That's what we're here for. I'd rather you ask pre-emptive questions and get it right than brick your phone by doing something wrong . Here's the link for the GC01. It has cwm too, so you can use it as your daily. And to answer your question, no, you don't need a "rooted" kernel. As a matter of fact, the kernel you have now is stock .

If you downloaded the zip, then yes. If you want a good, stable kernel that has custom recovery, let's do this. Download the tar of the GC01 and flash it using Mobile Odin. That way you don't have to use EL26 at all. . Just flash it, reboot into recovery, and cwm will be included in the GC01 kernel so you can do backups/restores with that.

Which version?
Or for what? Depending on your answer the recommendation could be different.
Most popular is Rogue recovery kernel which is based on cwm 5.0.2.8.

You had CWM where did it go? Nah just messin man... OP try to be a little more specific, what did you flash which caused you to loose CWM? What setup are you currently running? Which recovery are you looking for?
Boy, what a newb... my internet is down and Im just a little pissed, sorry for the lack of info.
I was on a stock EL29 rooted rom w/ cwm. I flashed a TSM rom and poof, all I have left is stock recovery. I want a GB version of cwm ( I don't care which version as long as its stable) as well as a good kernel/modem/rom if you have recommendations on those as well. I just need something stable and that has hacked hotspot included. Also, can you not flash .zip files with Odin?
Thanks guys, my bad on the newbish thread starter.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
IMO if you want hotspot on GB, the simplest way is foxfi, no root required.
Assuming you have root (either pre-rooted or using auto root for the earlier versions), the auto root package has a collection of all the various kernels repacked with CWM for you to install.

I'm totally new to Samsung too. I use HTC. But I got my mom a gnex and rooted it with a custom recovery to maintain it properly for her. Maintaining Sammy is different from maintaining HTC.
How do I get the stock recovery back so I can take the firmware ota? I dont see a firmware ota I can just fastboot or recovery flash and the gnex forums are a total mess.

I am assuming yes. As using Odin you just need the right file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
download the 6.5 .TAR file and follow the video.
put your phone in download mode.
open ODIN, make sure only auto reboot is checked
load .tar file into pda slot.
hook your phone up to the cable. (you'll see a yellow box with COM:xx) means your connected.
press start.
Wait until phone has rebooted. Good to go

I sent you a reply in pm, asking what Rom you wanted to flash. AOSP roms use ics modem unless it says specifically in the op to use something different. You already have cwm on your phone with Garwynn's kernel. However, I recommend flashing a safe kernel with cwm(el26) either using Odin or Mobile Odin. You can also download the zip version, reboot into recovery, and flash it worth Garwynn's, because he has Agat's recovery(cwm). If you do it this way, just reboot into recovery after and you'll be on el26 kernel. Wipe everything, flash your rom, modem, reboot, enjoy!

Hmmm...I have never heard of this rom, but of course I do not really go outside XDA to flash. But from what it looks like, it is simply a stock VM rom, with some goodies baked in. And if you are running gb28 modem, that's all you need. And you can try flashing this with Agat's recovery(Garwynn's kernel), but I think the op says that as well. But here's what I would do. Since the recovery link is sxtp's site, and it actually says e4gt in the name, then you should be ok flashing with what you have. Let me know how it goes!

Rooting is rooting. Once you're rooted you can flash whatever you want. Just follow the guides and you'll be fine. If you figured out how to root htc, this is a breeze!

Yes, through odin, but if you want to flash custom roms, use el26 custom recovery. Roms come with their own kernel, some custom. But is you are rooted, and want to stay with your jb stock, you can flash agat's or garwynn's custom kernel, both have cwm.
