Having issues getting CWM installed.
It looks like its working in Odin and says Passed but when I reboot my phone to go into recovery I am just greeted this same screen everytime.

Odin:

Code: 
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> recovery.img
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!! 
<ID:0/004> RQT_CLOSE !!
<ID:0/004> RES OK !!
<ID:0/004> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

Site I am using says...

Q: After installing recovery and reboot, I don’t see CWM recovery just stock recovery, what’s happening?
A: That’s caused by some stock firmwares writing over the CWM recovery. To get around it, run ODIN again to flash CWM, then pull battery out when you see “PASS!” in ODIN, then boot straight into recovery by putting the battery back on and using the buttons, you should see CWM recovery now!

But this doesn't work either...

Any ideas what's wrong?

Swarfega, have you rooted using CF method beforehand?

Edit: could you enable your trust mate? I had a few issues with a few CWM recovery builds but I finally found one that worked for me, if you like I could link you to that via PM.

Really don't like any cases for this, they all make it feel so fat! Such a good looking phone when it's naked but I know I'll scratch it or worse! Argh what to do?!!

Just chill... It's just a phone at end of the day, in two years time it will be obsolete.

Just use it :)

Obviously don't chuck it in your pocket with other items to avoid the screen getting it

Never seen the point of having a slim nice looking phone then covering it all up and making it fat :p

Between my Desire HD, S3 and new S4 - I've 'suffered' 2 marks between the 3 phones. 1 was when I threw the DHD against the wall, and the other was trying to get the usb cable in the S3 during the night. (And neither marked the actual screen!).
 
I got the Neo Hybrid which is a thinish case. Personally though it still makes the phone bulky so my phone has spent the past week naked.

Soo true!

But if it drops on concrete/outdoors, it could end in tears.
 
After dunking my S2 into a sink full of water and my contract nearly being complete I am looking at S4 contracts.

I am looking at the usual CPW and P4U bunch but is there any online retailers worth looking at?
 
Really liking the phone, had hell getting old SMS's from the old phone to show up as messaging kept crashing out on me, so started over!

Swiftkey is a nice touch, but is a pain to get used to, still finding my way around the pnone, and things like the gallery seem a bit random, like everything is throw in, can't find a way to reshuffle pics or seperate movies that were imported from my iPhone!

Any advice on good stuff to get for a start to get me learning things? :D
 
Does anyone have a copy of the sky now tv apk? Or could pull it off their S3 for me.
Officially it doesn't support the S4 so I can't get it from the app store but I reckon it'll work if I sideload it.

Use Quickpic for photo gallery - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en

much better than stock imo, cleaner and nice few options is setting like auto rotate pics on orientation, gpu acceleration, nice animations.
