Odin vs Recovery, which is better for flashing the latest Philz recovery? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which is the better method, flashing a new Philz recovery via ODIN, or flashing it via a custom recovery.
Also, can flashing the wrong custom recovery hard brick my phone?

Just flash the new recovery through your current recover
I was on PhilZ and i flashed the latest TWRP through PhilZ no problems
Not sure about the question, maybe

[Q] stock recovery or cwm??

wat is the difference between flashing with stock recovery and flashing with cwm??
i think flashing via odin is flashing only a stock rom (but i think u can flash also a custom rom in odin) while in cwm flashing you can flash custom rom,. just my opinion..
You can only flash a few Zips using the stock recovery. CWM on the other hand, supports most of them. And CWM has a lot more options than the stock recovery. You can also backup your stock and custom Roms using CWM.
you can process the same UPDATE.ZIP files in CWM , which you also might process in stock recov. CWM contains those functions as a subset.
so there is no need for stock recov, because CWM handles all UPDATES.ZIPs just as well. plus, CWM is more feature rich.
is there any CWMs that planted to the phone? like CWM on Gal Ace...
the previous CWM is lack in something. If you delete the CWM zip youll get your HH bootlooping and error
and don't forget to mention that install custom rom via odin will raise bin counter...it will make your guarantee void.

HELP.Bricked tab3 8 SM-T310?

Please help because I messed up my tab3 8.
I was using the BinDroid ROM and today I decided to flash this ROM [JB/KK][4.3.1/4.4.2] CyanogenMod unofficial builds.
I started flashing the Philz recovery via Odin. After that I have bootloop.
I tried to flash stock firmware via Odin and still have bootloop.
Is there any way to fix this?
I am able to enter recovery or download mode.

1.Do you boot into the Philz recovery or the one you had previous to Odin the recovery? If its philz try wiping data and cache and rebooting.
2.Next check if the md5 of your download matches and you have downloaded the correct zip for your device (lt01wifi). If so factory data reset and then flash again.
3.Make sure you are using ODIN correctly. A good guide can be found here http://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-tos/300296-guide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html
I flashed the stock firmware again and still bootloop.
Then I did a factory reset via the recovery and that was it!!!! My tablet is fixed!!!
I pass the Philz recovery then and root the tablet.
So now I am with the stock ROM and rooted. Thank you!!!
Is your data lost after flashed ?
Image, mp3, video etc..

Download the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte (it's based on CWM) and flash it via CWM or use Odin to flash it.

Can't install custom recovery

I've tried to flash CWM Recovery and TWRP Recovery and it doesn't work. Odin says it's all ok, but I just always end up on stock recovery. I have the Canadian variant.
Edit: Nevermind. I managed to root it without a custom recovery, and then installed TWRP Manager from the app store, and got the custom recovery from there.

I'm on philz touch, is it possible to switch to twrp?

I heard twrp is better for flashing and such (im having problems flashing agni, i can't press next, it just freezes).

Yes,
I was on philz before, when i tried to flash twrp .zip with philz touch, it seemed to fail.....so i think you can enter dowload mode and flash twrp .tar with odin.....
