OK, I'm helping a friend with his Csouth showcase... He is rooted using the z4 root method. But i cannot seem to find a valid recovery.. And im coming from an HTC device so the whole samsung thing is alien.. I know what I'm doing but ive never owned a samsung device so I'm asking y'all... What is a recovery I can use, something other than Clockworkmod? Or if it's only Clockworkmod can y'all paste me a link to the latest version. I understand rom manager won't work. And I saw the sticky but something about flashing the recovery from recovery didn't sound right to me.. So I'm asking. Any help would be appreciated.

Trust me, I have searched and searched, but not found the answer to this question.
OK, I just received my SGS4G, and had no problem rooting it using super one click. It is running stock GB, as shown in my sig below. I have used TIBU to remove most of the bloat, and have installed my favorite apps. However, I have not found a thread on how to update recovery to CWM. I am not interested in flashing a new ROM at present, I just want to replace the stock recovery with one that will allow me to make Nandroids.
Thanks for any help.
I'm pretty sure that you would have to flash a kernel with cwm support

Look at the guide in my signature and go to the part about SGS Kernel Flasher. You need a custom kernel for CWM.
Worked like a charm. Backing up as we speak. Thanks!
Glad you got it. Add [SOLVED] to the thread title if u will. Thanks.
To start off I have a samsung galaxy s 4g for t-mobile obviously. I was on the 2.3.7 AOSPSTYLE X rom but being the dumbass I am I flashed RaverX3X's Kj6-Rom-CWM-Offical-GB-2.3.6.
Here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351783
Well I flashed it in the cwm recovery and afterwards I rebooted and I ended up with the phone stuck on the galaxy s 4g 'exclusively from T-Mobile' splash screen. I also ended up with the stock recovery because I did not read the description of this 'Rom'. Is there any way I could fix this? Please help.
as always.....odin is your friend....
also you could try to reflash it alot of times that works.... the problem i see is no one reads any more and so the forums keep gettin cluttered up with help me i dont feel like searching....tell me what to do.

I have heard of this odin but what is it? I've never used it in my life and I don't know how to even flash it. Can you give me details? Thanks!
Go to the second link in my signature and follow the guide and you will be good to go.
Hi All,
just got a second line for work and i bought a g2x. got it rooted but haven't flashed a recovery yet.
is it true i can't just flash it via clockmod? on cyanogenmod's website it specifically says its the way to flash recovery but ive noticed in a few posts here that it will not flash recovery. i can really use some lights on this guys.
Thanks in advance.

To flash recovery the correct way, head on over to here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
If by clock mod you mean ROM manager, you can. But you will get your phone bricked if something goes south.
This phone is unbrickable, almost. Nvflash cwm on it and flash roms via it.
Search is your diaper friend.

So yes, and no...but yes. Confused yet?
You CAN use Rom Manager to flash a recovery and do backups / flash roms. The only issue comes up when you bork something up, and by you I mean rom manager of course, and you get a boot loop and have to pull the battery to get into recovery....you can't. It's got to do with the partitions RM uses I think. If you read enough you'll see that RM "fake flashes" CWM to your phone and you can't access it if it gets borked. Soooo you use Nvidia's NVFlash utility to flash CWM to your phones recovery partition. Then you're good to go. If you dig up the old CM7 thread, Cyanogen basically said that NVFlash replaces Fastboot for the G2x, but he uses RM from then on out.
Sooo use TGA_Gunnman's tool linked in the post above to install CWM the first time, then use RM is you so choose too. FWIW I've never used RM.

Thank you! got it now
i've been reading and trying the ICS roms, none seem to be as stable as a gingerbread rom.
what are you guys using?

is v6 built in or do i need to port and flash?
I don't understand why people tell you to use ROM manager.
Only use nvflash to flash clockwork, and ONLY use ROM manager to rename your backups and to boot into recovery. Never use ROM manager to flash ANYTHING.
ICS ROMs are all pretty much betas for this phone. If you want stable stay with stock or cm7.

No, you can find the v6 super charger script instructions in Android hacking and general section I think.

Download goo manager and install twrp from there. Its easy and should take only a minute or two. If u are confused on how to do it, go to the TWRP thread in development.

Twrp hands down over cwm. Plus many of the hox custom ROMs require Twrp.
TWRP is the only officially supported recovery for the HOX right now. CWM is unofficial and contains some bugs last time I checked.
Twrp.

I prefer the recovery image method using fastboot, but that just what I'm used to from previous phones.
twrp if u want to be.cool lol

This sounds like a bricked phone just waiting to happen
Good day to members of xda community. I've currently rooted my butterfly (x920d Taiwan) using some Chinese guy's guide which uses DNA's recovery. So I'm stuck at the point where I want to upgrade the recovery to a working one. I'm not sure if it is possible to just switch to another recovery as I do not want to brick the phone. Neither am I asking people to brick their phones testing. I'd be glad if anyone has any advice or knowledge to guide me. Can't seem to remember if my recovery is removed or clockwork. Thanks in advance

Download latest TWRP Recovery for x920d from here -> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/dlxub1
Flash in fastboot and done. Not sure what 'upgrade' are you mentioning ???
To be honest, I'm not so sure myself. Lol. For now, I just want a working recovery instead of an unstable one. Secondly, I'd probably want to get super su working if it's possible.
Thanks for your reply =)

Thanks v-b-n. You have my gratitude. I have no idea if I would brick my phone by trying to flash recovery as I m not sure which recovery I was using. But the good news is that it worked, so, my sincerest gratitude. Quick question. Is there n updated stock Rom out there somewhere? If so, what's the latest version? (would like to know as I need a starting point) =x
Thanks in advance once again
