Help Galaxy note 2 n7100 not booting into recovery

Hello,
I rooted my phone successfully and can easily take advantage of it but my cwm recovery is not working . When i press home+power+vol.up buttons together , the screen flashes for a sec and then again the phone goes off.I'm using it on jellybean 4.3. I want to install custom rom on it but the recovery is not working. So ,plz help how to install recovery.

Hello there! Welcome to AF:)

I've added some more info to your thread title to attract more views and get more help.

Sometimes booting into recovery can be tricky. In this order, hold down the home button, then while holding that button, press and hold the volume up button. Now, with both of those held down, press and hold the power button. When you feel the screen vibrate, let go of the volume up and home buttons while still holding down the power button until the recovery screen shows.
Try that:)
As far as installing a custom recovery, steps 7-8 did not work? --or did it indeed work, but now you are having issues booting into it?

That first pic looks like download mode (odin mode) accessed when you choose the volume down button in the 3 button combo, instead of the volume up button in the 3 button combo (to access recovery).
The other 3 pics just look very odd, as the screen looks borked :eek: unless it was just when the pic was taken.

Try reflashing the recovery via ODIN and untick the "reboot" in ODIN. When the process completes, unplug from the computer, pull the battery, reinsert the battery, then try the 3 button combo to get into recovery.

I did the same but its not working.. But when i switched the phone on, there comes a notification of the su app that SU binary needs to be updated ... I tapped on that and a dialouge box came saying to install the binary and also giving options to install it normally or by cwm or twrp. So what should i do?

And yes the first pic was of the download mode.
Or should i reroot my phone from another site or something??
