Step by step is located on page 1 of thread. Go there and follow directions. Also if allready rooted get yourself romtoolbox or titantium backup and make backyp prior to install of new Tom. Both have free versions in market.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
Follow this and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Recovery mode in your case is Samsung's stock recovery. You use that to install cwm.

Easy way to start recovery

1. Make sure the cwm zip is on your internal (non-removable) sd.

2. Pull the battery from your phone.

3. Connect phone to your pc via usb.

4. Press & hold Volume-up

5. Insert battery

Your phone will boot into recovery. Press the capacitive menu button (left bottom button) when you see the open white box and droid. Choose 'apply update from sdcard' and select the cwm zip file.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I hope the following helps, without muddying the water:

You must do some special steps to install CWM the first time.

After the first time, installing or backing up is easy, 'cause you may use CWM. You can even use CWM to update to a newer CWM.

You can tether your phone to your PC and push the files onto your phone and proceed from there.

You could alternatively push the files onto your phone without tethering, either wirelessly or by pulling your SD card, if you have one, and using a card reader. Myself, I pulled my card and used a card reader on my PC to copy.

Once you have the requisite files you give the proper command. Again, you have the option of using a tether (via ADB) or you can install a terminal program and tap out the "dd" command. I tapped it out using the terminal because I didn't want to mess with ADB.

There may be other ways of doing it.

You said you were already rooted so half your battle is won. Don't forget you need to give "su" before you issue the dd command.

I defer to Jocala's way, if that works for you that's probably simpler to do. You can do it other ways too, if for some reason you need to.

Hi jocala,

Do you have a chinese language rom released or add a language option in settings? I'm waiting too long. Please ....

If you need me to translate them, please feel free to ask me. Thanks.

I hate this phone! Now when I try to go into stock recovery mode it just shows the icon and no menu comes up, and the only button that does anything is the menu soft key which shows some stupid message that says crap like "failed" and its installing something, but it does this everytime i go into recovery. Love to know whats wrong this time :mad::mad::mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfroehlich:
Be sure you are using vol-up, not vol-down. It sounds like you are using vol-down which takes you to download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
I would have noticed if I went into Odin mode. But it showed the recovery icon with the Android robot and the box with the arrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
You're in stock recovery, why not flash cwm and be done with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
I'm trying but I can't get the menu in stock recovery to come up so I can install cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
When you see the box & droid, press your menu key.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
I did and it shows an error message(what it looks like) for 3 seconds and reboots every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
That's odd. Just to make sure, you're pressing the bottom far left capacitive button? Be sure to also try the steps in the OP (pull battery, etc).

hey all I just left VM for TMO especially after VM wanted to raise their rates on the smartphone plans, and their data speed sucked balls... but anyway

I installed the CWM recovery (great directions thanks) and just was wondering what the lay of the land is with the different roms, as well as what can I do about SU saying my binaries are out of date- feel free to PM me with details. Looks like things are well supported here; looking forward to playing around with this...errr testing it

If you don't mind living without the cameras and front LED, I'd say the CM9 port is your best bet. It is a work in progress.

Ok, really down on my luck with this phone :(
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
What seems to not go right for you now.

I followed a few post of yours.

Rooting the zergrush wasn't working but there is superoneclick that does same.

Cwm is easy installed after rooting. Just turn phone off wait 30 seconds then push power on and volume up buttons at same time for about 6seconds release both buttons after you you see samsung logo. Press bottom left captive menu button when you see the stock recovery image within a few seconds and choose to install the zip file for cwm. That has worked many times for me with no glitches and I have bricked my cell a few times and it recovers well if you follow instructions and sometimes reread some of the post to be sure a step wasn't missed.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dwgjr330:
hey i am having a strange (another- yes haha) problem- my SD card was partitioned for the optimus V, a 1ish gig for link2sd, and 15 for regular sd use- now i put the 'formatted' card into my phone and it only recognizes the 1gig bit and my computer only recognizes the 15 gig bit- what do i do?? i have tried using MT. Partition wizard and that doesn't seem to work... I have an 8gb chip but it would certainly be a waste of a nice 16 haha

I rooted using the rush root, went to get the non rooted kernel for this phone, but the link is broken, or not supported (at least from the forum i was linked to previously) an update to that would be sweet.

Glad to see this phone has dedicated devs. I was really hoping it would- the OV has all kinds of goodness in it and that is about all i will miss. haha

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
jocala, I'd like to report a bug..of somewhat.

I ROMwiped, and flashed v1.2a and when I changed the screen density from stock 240 to 185 and rebooted, the phone automatically turned off wifi even if I kept on pressing to turn wifi back on. I was able to regenerate this bug when I reflashed v1.2a.

Just lettin' you know :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Weird, thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
actually I don't think it's the rom's fault my bad. I just flashed to the xquizit rom and did the same process and I got the wifi turning off by itself again. I'll flash back to stock and retry the 1.2a with the lcd change display. Sorry for the mishap!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] creeve4:
Is it just me or is it impossible to get into CWM recovery using the method in the OP (Vol up, then power, then release)? I've also tried many other combinations, but the only way I can get the phone into recovery is using adb.

I would like to be able to access recovery without using my PC and adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
Ok, I've fixed the problem..I first tried just flash back to stock, but that wasn't really successful (wifi error, wouldn't even let me enable it.) So what I did was format /sdcard, flash back to stock, root, cwm, flash 1.2a and changed lcd density and now it works fine :)

sorry for the mis-info earlier!

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

actually jocala, I have a question, this problem has been ticking me off since forever. Whenever I change the dpi, somehow some of the apps in the market become "incompatible" and when I change back to the stock dpi, it still says it's incompatible. What do you think might be the problem? I've faced this on rebelROM, PS 1.2a, not sure about cm9...but anyways any insight would be helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I think TB has a function to reset market items. I've never used it, but you look like a pioneering type :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
haha, I've researched about it, and most people are saying that it could be that the market scans for appropriate screen resolution for the app vs. the device and if it doesn't correlate, it shows up as "incompatible" which makes sense...

I've run into another dilemma...didn't even touch the resolution this time but it's the wifi turning itself off...I'll enable wifi..it will scan...and then 10 seconds later it will turn itself off...I've ran into this earlier when I first flashed your rom...it was actually fine at first and then I installed a custom font, which caused me to reboot, which brought me to this error...what do you think?

and I've not mentioned this earlier, but whenever I get that wifi problem and I try to reboot, the phone gets stuck in the "Samsung Exhibit II 4g Android 4G" logo screen, and goes into some sort of bootloop...gah...I wonder if it's just my device..

----------

I'd not like to go back to rebelROM.....let's hope I get a fix by tonight..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
ok I thought it was voltage control that was causing this but I guess not....I've ran Romwipe, cache, dalvik, factory data reset and flashed 1.2a over and over again..but this wifi keeps on turning off by itself....yaaarrgghhhhhh.....

also I've noticed in cwm...I get this

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

This is confusing...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
The cwm log error messages I'll get around to fixing, sooner or later. They are harmless.

Your wifi, sorry, no idea. Didn't you say it was happening with other roms as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
oh ok I was worried those error messages were causing something haha.

on rebelROM: wifi doesn't turn on, just get "error" below wifi

on PS 1.2a: wifi works perfectly after first boot, but after second time, it starts scanning, and then turns off by itself, not sure why. <-- when I try to boot from this point the phone goes in bootloop, and I'm pretty sure others haven't faced this, just me, which is confusing me...

I just did flash back to stock again, rooted, cwm'd, now flashing rebel..so hopefully this will be the last battle of the night..I'm exhausted...haha
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
Ok, I just flashed to rebel straight from stock and things are back to normal....I'll flash back to PS1.2a when I'm done with college finals...until then..haha.

I need to be able to enter recovery using the hardware keys in case the phone won't boot into the OS.

Is there a sure way to enter recovery from a powered-off state using the hardware keys?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry, I don't have your problems. For me Quickboot always works and so do the hardware keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cu2cool:
Timing is important. Press and hold Vol Up + Power at the same time from off state. From the time the screen turns white with the Samsung logo, count 3 seconds and let go of both buttons. If you wait until the next black splash screen, it might not work. The key is to let go before that black splash screen appears.

I have notes on different suggestions by folks to get into CWM from hard boot. I forget which one I used successfully, but here they are, apologies for whoever I'm failing to credit...

Recover into ClockWork Mod

Procedure 1

Procedure 2
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
Uhh, yea I know how to go into recovery mode, Ive done it a million times. My problem is when I get into recovery mode and press the menu soft button, some script runs and my phone instantly reboots, its going too fast for me to tell what its saying. This happens every attempt, and I cant install any cwm if I cant have access to stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

I cant really take a picture of the script because it goes too fast. But when im in the stock recovery mode, the menu doesn't come up like it normally should, I press the menu soft key and this script comes up and my phone reboots a second later. This happens every single attempt. So I dont think theres a problem with how im entering stock recovery. I think theres a deeper problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Try to do a odin reflash to stock. Sounds like you might have had a corrupted install. After odin reflash try one of the premade Rome. Peach 1.2a is very good as a base.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Works here with a stock phone.

When the white box & droid appear I immediately press the far left capacitive button on the bottom of the phone to enter stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfroehlich:
Procedure 2 works great for me with CWM. I'm thinking Procedure 1 would actually be for Stock Recovery, or?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] swsl:
I just checked on my phone with CWM (thanks Jocala!) , and #2 worked for me as well. I think you're right that procedure #1 may be one for stock, even though it was defintitely given for CWM.

I do remember that in one situation or another, (stock or CWM?) I did have to hit the menu button to see the recovery menu and that step is not always listed....so anyway, good to keep in mind as a possible step if having difficulties booting into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jp in ny:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfroehlich:
When you download this file with the stock browser it will be placed in /mnt/sdcard/download. The stock Files app refers to this as /download. Move it up one level in the directory tree to /mmt/sdcard (/ in the Files app). Don't extract the zip. Follow the instructions here:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] scelaschi:
FYI...once I downloaded and installed files as instructed...my phone kept constantly "scanning media files" & read "MTP Initialising"...over and over again. (will not stop!)

I assume there is some kind of "virus" in one of these files and caution anyone "not" to download any of these files as they are infected!

I did this from a "clean" phone and and had not downloaded any other item save for the files you suggested. I immediately removed my SD Card and destroyed it...now I have no problems!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
You just revealed your noobness to the entire world by assuming that these files (which have been downloaded many thousands of times) are infected with a virus. Obviously, they are not. If you would like to apologize, and admit the fact that you screwed something up, perhaps your problem can be solved.
