How to Flash a Custom Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE
If you are one of the users of the HD LTE variant of Samsung Galaxy S2 smartphone, then we have some good news for you. The developers over at XDA Forum have successfully ported the ClockworkMod Recovery to Galaxy S2 HD LTE phone and the following guide explains how you can install the same on your SGS2 HD LTE smartphone.
I. Before You Begin:
1. The custom recovery will replace the stock recovery on your phone. So, you won’t be able to boot into the stock recovery afterwards.
2. Make sure your phone is fully charged, so you won’t face any problem during the process.
II. Downloading Required Files:
1. Download the Odin Tool from here.
2. Download the ClockworkMod Recovery Image from here.
III. Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on Galaxy S2 HD LTE:
1. Download and place both the Odin as well as Recovery Image onto your Desktop,
2. Extract files from the Odin archive to your Desktop.
3. Double-click the Odin3_v1.85.exe file to launch the Odin Tool.
4. Turn OFF your smartphone using the Power key.
5. Reboot your phone into the Download Mode. To do so, press and hold Volume DOWN+Power keys together.
6. Press the Volume UP key to enter the download mode.
7. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable that came with it.
8. From the Odin Tool, select BOOTLOADER option and choose the Recovery Image you downloaded earlier.
9. Do NOT modify any other settings in the Odin, hit the Start button to commence the flashing process.
10. As soon as it has finished flashing recovery, your phone will reboot.
Great job ! You have successfully installed the ClockworkMod Recovery on your Galaxy S2 HD LTE smartphone. The custom ROMs are now a click away from your phone.
You can now root your phone using the ClockworkMod Recovery. Please see our guide on how to root Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE.

How long should it take? Seems like instance in Odin: All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
yet the phone is on “Downloading…” for like 15 min now….
It shouldn’t take much time to finish.
In your case, it seems that the Odin didn’t flash the recovery file, that’s why it says “succeed 0”. Reboot your PC and try doing the procedure once again and make sure that you follow all steps carefully.
Hope it helps!
