Heres is a copy of my stock rooted NG2 ROM backup that i made with philz recovery (download supersu from playstore after boot) this backup is in .zip format so just extract the folder from it into your clockworkmod/backup folder and boot into recovery and restore it.

Hi Church,
the download link is working as for I'm downloading it now. Do you think this will fix my no sound problem?
I posted in another thread about not having sound after rooting my phone and one of the other members said I should go back to stock and reroot.
Hey churchey360,
I came across this thread and thought it was a great idea. So, I tried it and something didn't work right. I was on stock rooted NAE with Philz, so I thought this would work like a charm. It seemed to finish the restore OK, but then I can't get any cell network, no wifi or anything. Any recommendations? No big deal if not, I can reflash my NAE rom if necessary and start from there. Just thought your idea was pretty good. Thanks for posting, let me know if you (or anyone?) has any ideas. Thanks.

Will update the process into a more east to read format as soon as I can.
This isnt a question anymore because the method I will explain below works perfectly. Thanks to Gjones77, Stilesja, marcasant, Mkasik, xBTx and chrisott9628 as well as the acs team for providing the tools needed to root the OTA.
first you need to install the OTA either through the OTA method or through the Google link method.
Next you need to go to the ACS forums and Download the ACS recovery 1.0.0.5.tar.md5 file, http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Epic%2FACSRecovery%2F
You will need this file as well http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
Edit: see the 2 options below first so that you can retain CWM on your phone after reboot as samsung put a script in their kernel that will flush it out after reboot.
You will also need to have the latest version of Odin, Odin3 v1.85.
1) confirm you have gingerbread EI22.
2) download the 2 files above (you can use CWM purple version as well if you dont want the acs Recovery.)
3) Put the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip file onto your sdcard and turn off the phone.
4) Boot into Download mode by holding the 1 key on the keyboard and the power key
5) open odin and connect the phone to the computer, one of the ID:com boxes will light up to confirm it is connected.
6) put the ACSrecovery.tar.md5 file into the PDA area of odin, make sure everything is uncheck except Auto-reboot and hit start.
7) if done correctly your phone should reboot directly into ACS recovery mode.
8) once in recovery flash the Su-***** .zip file then reboot the phone.
9) If CWM does not stick due to the added script Samsung embedded in the phone kernel you should see below. There are thus far, 2 possible options, Option 1 will give you the Keyboard fix with a relatively Stock experience and Option 2 will give you a Deodexed Rom, nubernal, the keyboard fix and the GPS fix.
Thought id add something to this first:

***UPDATE***
Apparently Samsung included a script that reflashes the stock recovery upon boot, so if you install a custom recovery (ACS or CWM) it will overwrite it upon boot.

Stilesja has a fix for this, I can now confirm this works as I have tried it out my self.

Ok, I have found a Fix so that Clockwork Sticks

(Option 2)
You can also make your CWM override the built in Samsung issue as well as add the nubernal. To do this, follow the steps up until you get into ACS recovery or CWM and flash the .zip in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339579 rather than the Su.zip file. This will completely fix your GPS and CWM problems as well as deodex the EI22 version you have.

I used PDA.
I updated Superuser in the market and lost root capabilities. Uninstalled the update and it has worked fine.
I just noticed that metalblaster said "so just flash purple" after chrisott9628 said to use the ACS CWM. Does it matter which one you use?
i just assumed purple because it was odin that was being used to add it.
I tried to download the .zip of the ACS recovery, but got file not found. Anyone have a working copy/link/mirror?

I can confirm that this doesnt not infact work for me at least. Ive tryed every odin version as well as renaming the file to a .Tar rather than .md5 as well as using the .md5 and the .zip files. Its no use.
Actually as soon as i posted this i tried the file posted above to try to get CWM and it worked like a charm. You need to place the .md5 file into the pda portion of odin3 v1.85 and check only auto reboot. If done correctly the phoen should boot into CWM directly and then you can flash the Su.zip file to gain root.
***NOOB ALERT***
I asked this in another thread, but its way more appropriate here:
Would Gingerbreak work on EI22? I used it last week to root EC05 and flash Toadlife's EH17 stability rom. It installs a slightly older version of CWM (I think), but it also installs Superuser.
Just wondering.

No, Gingerbreak hasn't worked since v2.3.3 I think/
Both cwm purple and acs recovery should work without any issues.

I tried it and when rebooting, it reboots into the phone (not into CWM). I reboot the phone with the 3 finger salute and it is still the stock recovery. Odin shows that the recovery flash was successful.
EDIT - Nevermind - was using a downlevel ODIN.
Hey guys I'm new to android had an iPhone for 6 years. Just got the gs4 two months ago. I rooted the phone took out bloat ware apps using titanium back up. Have a few other rooted apps. Got Interested in ROMs and kernels so did some research looked around on here to how to do it. I downloaded infamouses newest ROM. I have ROM manager and I downloaded cwm recovery through the Rom manager. When I go to back up my current ROM and everything it boots into recovery mode but it isn't cwm recovery. The emblem doesn't come up and I believe its the stock recovery. My question is how can I get the cwm recovery so I can back up my current ROM and then wipe it and install the new one. I'm new so sorry if this is easy or anything I appreciate all the help
Download goo manager and let it install twrp then just flash cwm thru twrp . Or keep twrp and remember to flash loki doki if needed.
Wait!
What firmware is your phone currently on? MDL OR MF3?
If MF3, stop now. Do not flash anything.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
Okay I figured out the problems. When I hit reboot and superuser is supposed to grant root permissions an error comes up saying superuser has stopped working then goes into the stock recovery mode. The only thing I found with MDL in it was the baseband version 1337UCUAMDL
Your safe to continue flashing custom recovery on MDL Baseband

Going on the information you have given, if you are doing right and using the correct version for your phone, GooManager and TWRP should be working for you. However, if you go to the development section and look for OUDHS CWM recovery, directions are given in the OP about how to manually install that recovery. Again, directions are in that thread about how to do it. I do hope you are reading all of every post that contains something you are trying to do (in other words, if you use OUDHS, read the entire thread first). Good luck.

Hey thanks for the help. I got twsp recovery through goo manager and worked perfectly. I'm having such a bad experience trying to install this rom. I went into the recovery mode after backing up my current rom and system. I wiped everything out then went into my sd card amd installed the zip that is listed in the infamous page in the developers part. I hit install and then said I'm not rooted and would I like to install superuser. I slide the thing and then went to reboot and now has been stuck saying samsung and custom with an open love under it. Pulled the batter went back into twsp and tried to reboot and still stuck. This is all after I thought I installed the rom already and nothing changed except wiped my phone. Can anyone help

Are you installing loki doki after the rom ?
Hello, first time poster. I recently tried rooting my phone using CWM method. I'm running sph-l720 with software version vpaumf9 and android version 4.2.2. I installed CWM (this version SPH-L720 OUDHS Recovery) with odin with success. Then flashed SuperUser v.099. Everything went smooth until I opened up super user and tried to install binaries and it says "Install failed". I'm wondering if I didnt have the wrong beginning firmware and i needed to (but didnt) install that pre-kernel. I'm also wondering if I have to download the original firmware and have to flash to stock in order to "unroot" even though I didnt finish the SuperUser process, or is their a way to delete the super user app and try to install it again using the same CWM i have already on the phone. I hope this isn't confusing. I'm not a complete novice to rooting, but no expert. I rooted my galaxy s2 but went to Iphone for a while, but now I'm back and a little dissapointed with myself at this fail. Any suggestions? Do i have to go to stock first? Was I using the wrong files for my initial firm ware and need the pre kernel? Am I blabbering on? (yes) Thanks in advance.

Grap CF-Autoroot from here
Follow the instructions here:
Boot back to phone. Open up SU and update binaries.
Then
Go to Playstore and download/install GooManager
Open GooManager and then press the 'menu' button (capicitive button next to Home Button) and choose to install recovery (I like TWRP).
Then let it do it's thing.
If you'd like a real easy way to get 'into recovery mode' from the phone I use the Quickboot app
Also make sure that if you are going to flash ANY ROMs you follow the instructions the developer suggests - many suggest specific recoveries be used

thank you! do i need to do anything before i do this? (Like using odin to revert back to stock?)
i ask because i already have CWM installed
I did the auto root, and open SuperSU and it doesnt ask to update binaries...does that mean it is already done. I didnt find the option in the settings.

As long as your on some kind of TW/Stock based ROM you should be Okay.
However if you want to go back to straight (AND ROOTED) stock you can use one of rwhilco12's 'one-click' restores.
The one click downloads as a zip. decompress and then run the one -click. If you've never run a oneclick read here
It will give you a stock ROM, rooted, MF9 Modem, Stock recovedry, and Stock kernel. You'll then have to use GooManger method to get custom recovery.

man thanks so much. so i definitly got super user access. I'm about to do the goo manager. since you suggested the twrp i think i'm going to try that. since i have CWM recovery installed, do u think that will create any issues if I go to install TWRP from goo manager
actually i googled and it seems that goo manager will seamlessly overwrite cwm. sorry for the questions before searching. appreciate the help. i almost didn't come on here, which would of lead me to reverting to stock, doing cwm again, then being upset that i needed twrm for most roms lmao. I owe u one. If u ever need to learn how to make bad decisions, just shoot me a pm. I got u covered.
No it will just replace it.
I actually (and many around here too) prefer TWRP 2.5.0.2.
You can download the zip for that here, boot to recovery you have now (CWM) and then install that. Or use Goo to install lates TWRP and boot to recovery and then install zip and choose the 2.5.02 you downloaded and then save to your sd card
scratch what i posted here. I ended up having to download ROMmanager and update CWM, then used CWM to install the zip you provided me. thanks so much man. Do you have a favorite stable ROM you recommend using TWRP. I value your advice

Glad you got it.
As for ROMs you really have to try them out for yourself. There are some really great TW ROMs ; Sacs, negalite, triforce and others. For CM/AOSP there are a whole bunch to choose from. I mess with just about all of them. But my daily driver has to be one hundred percent working and reliable so for that I'm usually on a stock debloated and modified TW ROM. Take some time to read through the OPs of the devs and just as importantly through the follow up posts to see what works what doesn't ahs how to fix or get what you need.

I am able to root, and install twrp on my phone just fine. But I am not having much luck with Clockwordmod. I found this link which is a very organized, and comprehensive list of software including CWM. It points to this one, which points to this. My question is I don't know which file to pick. And for some reason Odin does not recognize the one I downloaded. I tried to flash the file with flashify, but I get into a boot loop. Can anyone point me to procedures and files which worked for this platform? I am running N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_SPR. The main CWM site only seems to have the latest version, which is not odin compatible, and I am not sure if it works with my phone's software. I think it is meant for lollipop?

I'm not sure what a zimage is - but normal image (img) files can be flashed in TWRP.
zimage is the kernel .
I am afraid this does not help me. Don't mean to be unappreciative. I have done some research, and saw somewhere CWM can flash zImage. I have not seen the same comment about TWRP; I tried it regardless. TWRP does not recognize zImage format. I have looked into reformating the file, but I have to rely on scripts, and I am not sure if the issue with my image is in the packing stage or something else. I want to be able to replace the packing step with a tool like CWM, which is already verified. This is important for me, since I want to make sure I am not doing something wrong and messing up the file when I pack it. Can someone please help? The original question stands; has anyone successfully put CWM on this platform, and if so please share the file(s) and procedure(s) with me.
Well I have had CWM on my n9005, which doesn't help, but have you tried on the Sprint forums? There's n900p CWM Recovery and a search brings up a number of threads to check.
One immediate thing that jumps out is it recommends using Odin 3.04 - maybe it doesn't work with other versions?

Thank you so much. I'll give it a try. I hoped for a more recent version of CWM. I just found out that I can use flashify to flash .img files; so I am gonna try that on my recovery.img file I just built. That may fulefill my requirement.

If you mean that you can use a s3 backup on the s4, then no, don't do that, i believe you can flash the stock firmware using your phone by MobileOdin or Flashfire apps...i guess, but i never tried them so i wouldn't recommend, if you have CWM recovery installed, you can try flashing a stock based ROM from development thread(if you like TW ROMs), you can also flash any custom ROM available for your model in the development thread.
