  1. Ahh… easy. I put the stock ROM on my Note2 and CWM 5.x, used the phone for a couple of weeks and when I went to boot into CWM recovery mode my screen showed the Galaxy Note logo and then went haywire to a black screen.
    I wasn’t sure how to get CWM back on safely, and many guides talk about using ODIN in USB download mode etc, which i’ve done before but I couldn’t find CWM 6.x to download.
    ROM manager, Install CWM. Done. It really was that easy! I’m now able to do a full backup of my ROM. Next, triangleaway and hopefully my phone will get stock updates from Samsung instead of Vodafail now?
