  2. Now you will have to flash the CWM Recovery on the phone you own. First things first: unzip the CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.zip and the Odin tool archive on your notebook.

When the plugging has not gone as expected, you can mend this by using a different USB port; or you can flash the USB drivers once again.
