Hello Vatsalbh9, follow the steps in video to root your phone.
1. Yes you need to root your device to use custom recovery.
2 & 3. You need to use odin first to get cwm recovery installed in your phone. Follow video steps.
4. When you have installed cwm recovery mode with odin, just go to recovery mode (keep holding vol up+power+home button until samsung galaxy grand gt i9082 logo appears on screen). Der you will see backup option. So make a nandroid backup in your external sd card and transfer that backup (clockworkmod folder in your ext sd card) in your laptop or pc for future use.
Download the files given in the description of the video.

Also I would suggest you to make efs backup. Go to the following thread for making efs backup

No need of downloading stock rom, just make a nandroid backup for future use if you want to go back to stock rom. Download any of the custom rom given in the development thread.

Follow these steps for nandroid backup :-
1. Enter into recovery mode(vol up+power+home button)
2. U will see many options like - reboot system, install from zip, wipe data... Bla bla bla... And BACKUP AND RESTORE
3. Select Backup & Restore option.
4. Once u select it, again many options will come but choose backup on ext sd card/sdcard01
5. Nandroid backup will take around 5-10 mins depending upon your data size.
6. Once the process is complete, you will see a text written on bottom of screen 'Backup is complete'.... Go back to previous menu and reboot your phone.
7. You will find "clockworkmode" folder in your ext sd card. This folder contains your nandroid backup. Transfer this folder to another safe location like pc or laptop.
Note.. While in cwm recovery mode, use vol up and down key for navigation and power key for selecting any particular option.
Also dont increase comments for saying thanks, just press the thanks button
For installing any custom rom, download and save the rom, GApps in your ext sd card and flash them in cwm recovery mode.
Steps for installing rom will be given in respective rom threads but generally these steps are to be performed :-
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Install rom(zip)
Once installation is complete, install GApps
5. Wipe cache partition
6. Wipe delvik cache
7. Reboot your phone.
First boot of every custom rom will take a longer time to boot.. Varying from 3-10 mins, so dont panic.
Also some custom roms require latest version of cwm recovery, so before installing custom rom, download the recovery and flash it..
1. In cwm( if it is a zip file)
Or
2. In odin( if it is a. Img or. Tar file)

Redo the process.... I think cwm is not installed on ur phone yet. When you see pass in odin.. Just remove the battery manually... Wait for 5-6 seconds.. Den reboot your phone.. Once a normal reboot is completed... Den go to recovery mode....
Hope u get it this time.

Ok...
Is the CWM provided in the YouTube link is latest ?
Cz if I want to install latest rom will it support ?
And is it necessary to flash supersu via CWM for installing custom rom ? Or only CWM is enough ?

No it isnt the latest version, but it will help you to proceed further. Once you get this cwm recovery mode, you can easily flash latest version as well.. And there will be a link given for recommend recovery in rom thread.
No it isnt necessary to flash super su as all cm11 based roms have inbuilt super su with them.

I already have custom ROM and 4.4.4 KitKat . I am very happy that I did it by the help of XDA forum
When can i get Android L update .

Seems like you dont have usb drivers installed properly in your pc. Does the ID:Com turns into blue color when you connect your phone to pc? If not then install samsung kies first on ur pc.
See d screenshot... The portion circled should be blue... Before hitting start.

Yes sir it turns blue...it says about ID:COM(3) something...
Odin says added...
Then only I start Flashing...

1. Use this recovery by pawitp
2. Untick Auto reboot checkbox in Odin.
3. Once Odin shows pass, remove battery, wait 10-15 secs, re-insert and enter Recovery mode (by pressing Vol up +. Power button + Home keys at once until u see boot loader screen and release immediately).

Before you start odin kill kies at background using task manager else it will fail

I didnt immediately took off the battery... I let the fon boot after flashing... I think im making a mistake there... cz I had checked auto reboot in my attempts...

Now im gonna try by unchecking auto reboot option...
When Odin will display Pass, I will disconnect fon from usb and then take off the battery...
Will wait for 15 secs and then will try to boot into recovery mode...
Hope its all done... Fingers crossed...
And I have to release all three buttons(up+home+power)when galaxy grand logo appears... is it right ?

Install RSDLite on your PC. Use WinRAR or 7zip to decompress the. gz file you downloaded (there is an sbf file inside - the clean Froyo firmware you want to flash - and save it somewhere.
Take your Defy and press the power and volume up button and release after some seconds so that you enter the bootloader mode (you see some white text on black ground).
Connect the phone via USB with your PC with RSDLite running.
In RSDLite click the button with the three dots and open the sbf file you extracted.
Hit the start button. Now it starts flashing the firmware, takes a couple of minutes.
When it's done the phone reboots and is running a Motorola Froyo firmware (not rooted or something, it can't really be called a ROM). If you want you can root, install CWM again etc and put your ROM in it again.
Almost always when your Defy is doesn't boot anymore or is somehow broken softwarewise, you can use this method to repair it.
thank you for your time.

If you want the recovery menu you need to install 2ndinit. http://goo.gl/5P89P
Open the app and install the recovery menu with it, then reboot (some say it is safer to reboot even two times). You get the blue LED after powering the phone on, you have to press volume down then. There you can get to the custom recovery and wipe data, cache, install zips from SD etc.

[Q] Cant enter CWM recovery mode

Hi, im new here. I here to ask. I want to root my galaxy grand duos (jellybean 4.2.2 not 4.1.2), but after i flashing CWM with odin, it doesn't work. Odin say "0 failed/1 successfully". And i saw the PASS text and my grand is rebooted successfully. After that i try to enter CWM recovery mode by pressing "Vol Up + Power button + Home". It took me to recovery mode but not CWM. It took me to Regular Android Recovery. Please help me with this. I want root my phone.
Did your device really reboot? In my case I had to take out the battery after Odin flashed cwm...
that's exactly my problem too. i can't access cwm recovery mod. it goes to stock recovery instead. i was able to access cwm recovery mod once but i didn't have superuser on my sd card. it was on my pc. so i rebooted my phone and the next time i tried to access cwm recovery mod i was unable to do so. seriously need help!!
Samsung stock flashes stock recovery on boot if a custom recovery is present... usually in cwm a notification appears when you're about to boot from cwm to ROM, asking to fix the stock recovery reflashing...

Thanks for your reply. But still not working. I tried that 5× and still not working. I cant do anything. In normal recovery, i cant install Fix-recovery.zip or anything. I cant root my phone?.
Just follow step by step
1)connect your phone in download mode to pc/lap,make sure you have installed Samsung kies properly as odin will detect the drivers
2)check if the 'ID:COM' tab in odin is turned blue
3)now if its blue everything is fine and now with your phone connected,with 'ID:COM' tab in odin turned blue,select pda in odin and select cwm zip and untick auto reboot in odin.
4)then once u have selected cwm zip in pda and unticked auto-reboot hit START in odin.
5)after it says passed just unplug you phone and enter recovery manually by pressing VOL UP+POWER+HOME,now you should have cwm recovery
6)in cwm select install zip from sd card choose zip and select fix recovery.zip
7)after cwm says installation complete now again select install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card and select update super su zip
8)FINALLY reboot system now and now you have a fully functional cwm recovery and have successfully completed rooting process:thumbup:

Like iceyhotguy suggested, follow the instructions in the link he provided. Here.
Just Sharing
Well i had a same experienced with CWM acting like that on a Galaxy Grand, so i just share what i done to fix it.
The first i got my gadget, i let it update and all, and choose to Root it using CWM method.
at first it was goin well, Then i start going deeper by deleting stuff on system that i think i dont need like KNOX and others (Im acctually a NOOB do help me with what can i safely
deleted). what happen next when i restart my Phone, all stuck on the SAMSUNG Logo. so i redo the usual Flashing of Stock ROM n Reinstall the CWM. but its not working anymore.
The CWM like just gone from the Phone. after fiddling around, i realise when flashing CWM using ODIN3 v3.07. "i cant uncheck Auto-Reboot", i dont know why i cant, it just like
that. Luckly i still got my old backup of ODIN3 v1.85, in which i redo all the flashing and i can even uncheck the Auto-Reboot thing. Oh because the auto-reboot its
tick off in ODIN3 v1.85, after flashing, unplug ur phone and while in its download mode, press the button to straight away go to the recovery, if u reboot it all the
flash will not work. And Pooof all my problem fixed.
Got my Phone system back, CWM and Root working unlike before. Hope this Help people havin a same issue. sorry if i write somethin wrong since im a NOOB.
Press Thanks if needed

Which partition did you use to flash it??
Try this method
Go to play store .. Then
download rom manager from clockwork mod
and follow the steps.. That should give you cwm. Now flash philz recovery zip using cwm..
or if you are rooted
download goo.im app
click on menu and tap on open source recovery .. it will give you a notification for twrp.. click on ok and it will download and flash it..

you are doing something wrong...
4.1.2 should not have any issues with Philz recovery...
just flash the latest philz..using ODIN and use the pda tab to flash it..
use .tar file..!
if you still have issues rename the file.. remove .md5 and just make it .tar.. it works..!
Flash through phone if possible (not through recovery mode but from ROM toolbox or something.) It's more reliable.

if you still have issues rename the file.. remove .md5 and just make it .tar.. it works..!

I think that also
I will try to rename the from from md5.tar to .tar
I flash recovery, root and roms by odin for different devices I don't face this problem
I flash CWM into my device last time also had the same problem. Mine is N7105.
And I rooted + flashed CWM few of N7105 (belongs to my friends), also had the same problem.
But, I managed to succeed finally.
What I did was very simple. After ODIN pass, device will reboot.
When it reboot, don't let it pass the 1st screen. I mean by the time your device showing "Galaxy Note II bla bla bla", don't let it pass it into the 2nd screen.
Once it reboots, you have to as quickly as pressing vol up + power + home, in order to get into recovery, a.s.a.p.
after that, you can see that CWM is installed on your device instead of stock recovery.

stock retrival not possible from Cyanogenmod 11 on Samsung Galaxy Grand duos

I own a Samsung Galaxy Grand duos GT - I9082, running on CM 11, PHILZ 6.0.4.5 Recovery, I used Solo launcher as default, now its not getting out of it,My concern is now I am not able to go to stock, I have tried flashing JB 4.1.2 tar.md5 file thru odin 3.07, One thing I am noticing while flashing in odin is it says not responding until the file appears in the pda box, after that every thing works fine, pass msg comes on the screen, but after that it re-boots to the same CM 11, I have also tried doing factory reset, cache & dalvik cache wipe after the flashing, but it never comes back to stock. I am even trying to flash the selinux support recovery, but the same thing happens, after odin pass msg, if i check the recovery its the same PHILZ 6.0.4.5 Recovery. I am really worried that has my phone been bricked.
I have even tried doing format/system, factory reset, cache & Dalvik wipe. usb debugging is selected in the developer section. Can i get the original stock flashed from the samsung ? pls help asap, thank you.

If you still can't get to stock it means Odin hasn't even downloaded the firmware into the device. Could be hardware problem (check your USB cable) driver installation (make sure you installed the drivers correctly) or you simply didn't follow the correct procedure.

Btw, it helps if you manage to post a screenshot of what's written in Odin's log box and post it here...

Now that is really weird... :/ I don't know how to solve it, sorry. Looking at Odin's logs, it's supposed to flash correctly. Maybe someone more knowledgable than me can help?

I have never ever seen such strange problem in the 1.5 yrs of my XDA years
Something is telling me that the system partition is not writable (hence not accepting delta file?)
Can you try to copy a file to /system partition ?
I think you may need to flash a .PIT file

The delay in Odin, or the stopped responding moment, like you mentioned is from the md5 check Odin performs to make sure the firmware is valid. And the sd-ext partition is something that isn't used anymore since JB, nothing to worry about we all get that warning when we wipe in recovery.
Sadly, it's hard to tell what could be wrong, or what you could be doing wrong, just from the problem. But the main thing is, phone is always recoverable, just make sure your data is safely backed up on your computer.
If you haven't already taken your phone into the service center, can you list each and every step you are taking to revert to stock? And I do mean, each step, even boot into recovery, boot into download mode, flashed this recovery/firmware etc, more the details, the better. This way me or other members can analyze more accurately what could be the possible problem.
where can i find this .pit file it's of cm 11 or.........?
It's always better practice to have a recovery before trying things that may ruin your precious time.......
Look for stock files for your smartphone galaxy grand ..... Put files sometimes comes within that file or you have to find it manually by googling...... ?????

can u suggest any of the knowledgable senior member to solve this problem, bcoz I luv my SGG.
Thank u so much for the concern shown. I have regularly been switching b/w roms [ stock & custom ], my favorites are cm & carbon, i have used recoveries of chotu CWM-TOUCH & Philz touch both ver. 5.15 & cwm - selinux support, now i am on 6.0.4.5. I am running CM 11 now. launcher is solo kikat. I have done nandroid backup of all Roms, I have tried the restore option from clockwokmod / backups, not working out. I am using the following procedure to revert to stock :
1. check debug mode in developer mode
2. to the download mode by pressing volume key downwards & power key & home button at same time wait for the logo to appear, Followed by ODIN Mode, & then press the vol button upwards.
3. open odin, i have a version of 3.07, check only Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time, nothing else, clicking on the PDA, selecting the 4.1.2 I9082XXAMC7_I9082OJVAMC1_I9082XXAMC4_HOME.tar.md5 file, and pressing start.
4. normally doing a factory reset & cache wipe & re-boot.

I was curious if this problem wasn't with what you were doing but with kitkat ROMs, so I looked through XDA and found people having similar issues. Apparently downgrading to JB from KitKat CM is an issue for a lot of users with Samsung phones.
Try this,
1.Go to your recovery, Wipe data/cache and dalvik cache. Format /system under Mounts and Storage.
2. Download and flash a 4.2.2 based stock based ROM (like GENNXT or any you want), this would bring you back on 4.2.2 kernel and stuff, so let it boot up completely.
3. Just to be sure, flash 4.2.2 based recovery with Odin from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
I honestly don't think recovery should make any difference, but I noticed a thread where the user said it was so just be sure. Then reboot back into recovery, and wipe data/cache and dalvik.
4. Go to download mode, use Odin to flash your 4.1.2 firmware, after it passes, boot into recovery (it should be stock recovery now), clear data and cache and reboot.
I think the problem is arising from all the new SE Linux support in KitKat, so a gradual downgrade should work. You can add a step of flashing 4.2.2 firmware after booting up stock based ROM but shouldn't be needed.
Let me know how it goes.
not working out ?

My phone dosen't start up only show SAMSUNG and Sensor blue screen light up??

Hello friend please help me i am in big trouble.
I have Samsung Galaxy Note2 N7100. And first time i have rooted my device viewing youtube tutorial and all are fine, going perfect, and got root on my device.

Problem is the right recovery,it seems you have the default recovery CWM.You need to flash philz touch via odin for the first time to get a custom recovery on your device ,later you can switch between philz recovery and twrp recovery by flashing their respective zip files from either of the recoveries.So first get your phone to be detected by odin and download the latest philz tar.md5 file from http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100/philz_touch_6.41.6-n7100.tar.md5 uncheck auto reboot in odin and then hit start let it finish flashing once it says pass on odin unplug the usb cable from the laptop.pull your phone's battery out.put it back in after sometime then go into recovery manually you'll see your newly flashed philz recovery.Then do the correct wipes such as wipe cache and dalvik and clean to install a new rom which will factory reset your phone.Then proceed to flash dr ketan's ROM from external sd card.
Thank you sir
Ok sir thank you very much i have done. and another my question is what is the different between N7100_ND3_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_V8 and omni-4.4.4-20140621-n7100-NIGHTLY.
Dr. ketan is a part of omni? am i right sir? And also my question is i can install Dr.ketan and omni in same time in a same device??????

No both are different ROM.Dr ketan's ROM is based on Touchwiz samsung based while OMNI rom are based on AOSP which are like the ROM run on Nexus devices.Well if you flash 4.3 ROM there's devil kernel which allows dual booting that means one can have Two separate ROMs on their device,4.4.2 Kernels don't support it yet.
Edit: Don't call me "sir",call me Pratik.
Thanks
Ok Pratik
And another question is which ROM is the best for my Note 2 N7100.

All ROMS are best ROM for N7100 ,no one will answer you which is the best ROM cause everyone uses their phone differently so what i may like doesn't mean you'd like it too.So try few custom roms for few days each and then stick to the one that suits you best.Also while responding to me click on "quote message in reply?" so i get notified that you have replied to me cause i might not check this thread often to see if you need any further help if you don't quote my post.Good luck
