Root How to install a custom Recovery(TWRP/CWM) - No Computer

This worked for my SGH-T599N, and it should work for any other Samsung Galaxy Exhibit(4G).

And I know I probably don't need to say this but, you need to be #rooted.

Okay, so you want to download everything below

-------------------

Now, I know what your wondering, why do you need ClockworksMod to flash TWRP?

Honestly, you probably don't but I did that so if you like ClockworksMod recovery(non-touch) more then TWRP(Touch) then you can just keep it.

So first, you open up Rashr.
You can choose to Backup or not. Honestly, it's not needed as this isn't going to brick your phone, but if your a first time user, I'd suggest backing up just in case.

Now, once you have all that out the way, and you grant the application Root Access,(If it says "Update available" just ignore it right now)
Click "Recovery from Storage" > Now click the recovery1-cwm.img(Not TWRP) file that I told you to download from earlier, it's going to say "Warning! are you sure?" and click Yes,please.

Now, it should say something like "Partition Flashed, Reboot into Recovery?"
That's good! it means it worked! (If it said something like "Failed" then comment below, I'll help you)

Now reboot into recovery manually, meaning click "No thanks."
Power your phone completely off, Hold the Volume Up button, the Home button, and the Power button at the same time. Once the "Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SGH T599N" screen comes up, let go of the Power button only.

Now if you did that right, you should see
ClockworksMod Recovery.

It should say something like "CM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6" at the top.

Now, goto "Install Zip" (Use the volume rockers and the power button, just like stock recovery)
Now select "Install zip from sdcard." OR "Install zip from external sdcard" (Wherever you put the downloaded files)

Now select the "twrp_2.7_codinalte.zip" from where ever you saved it, then goto "Yes - install twrp_2.7_codinalte.zip"
In the text below, it should say "Flashing recovery, done"

Now, turn off your phone, go into recovery again (just like before)

And now, you should see a "TeamWin" screen when you boot into recovery.

Congratulations, you flashed a custom recovery successfully :D



Did one of the steps not work? Or did I not explain it good enough? Comment below. I'll help out!

I've had roms before lmao, It's just I like the deoxed a bit as it has my t-mobile app for my data usage and stuff. :P I usually use cm11.
 
Yes, i use T-Mobile's Max unlimited plan. :P
I got the tag from the old forums as a guest helper.
 
Whenever i flash cwm and i manual reboot into recovery, i get the stock android recovery?
 
flashed twrp with odin, thanks anyways
Well I'm pretty sure it didn't work since I didn't ah, use my mind. I renamed the file to recovery.img instead of whatever it was before on mega, so just try it like that since you were flashing recovery1-cwm.img instead of recovery.img that was most likely the problem (My fault)
 
Anyone got a working cwm link? Just feel like using something different, go back to old school for a lil bit
 
cwm-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421743
philz touch(based on cwm)--->http://www.mediafire.com/download/a92vri8sa8wnr9i/recoveryphilztouch.zip

You will need to install cwm through pc via odin. On the other hand the philz touch is flashable through any recovery you currently have. :)
Oooo nice philz it is lol I've never tried it anyway...so rashr should do the job too huh if it doesn't work right i should be able to boot strait to the from and flash my twrp again ...nice that takes care of the next 30 mins to hour of boredom lol
 
Lol thts funny
Yes the boredom here in hardcore cousin f..kin sister lovin redneck country (southeast Georgia) can become overwhelming if there's no banjos, drunkin bar fights, ductape, Meth dealers next-door getting raided, or something to flash and drown out the stupidity, ignorance, and incest oozing from every square inch of this paradise Lmao jk it's not that bad the real Jerry Springer show is 12 miles down the road [emoji23] [emoji23]
