Thanks

You can only have one recovery installed, so you need to pick
You just need to flash 4ext over cwm
Easiest was is to download the 4ext recovery control app from the market (worth paying for IMO) which will flash the recovery while your booted

+1 to what Ben said.
4Ext knocks the socks of CWM and the control app just makes life so much easier - auto notification of updates and everything. Money well spent in my opinion.

4EXT recovery more features
All repliers favor EXT4 so so far. What are the key features above CWM?
Can EXT4 be flashed over CWM?
Flash 4EXT recovery through fastboot, or download the free application from the development thread, or from the website.
No problems flashing over Clockwork Recovery.
I'd highly recommend using the 4EXT Recovery solution, its a fantastic recovery option with both classic style recovery, as well as the option for a new and improved touch version.
But basically it is built similar to Clockwork Recovery, just with a lot more functionality beneath the hood, making it a swiss army knife.
4EXT for sure. More functional and more informative.
4EXT, it offers more features than clockworkmod.

Will the backups from cwm work with 4ext probably a silly question

does "usb debugging" is enabled in 4ext? i can't boot up my device and usb debuggin is not turned on in setting. I only have the 4ext recovery mod.

i think 4ext it better has more options and its touch recovery that is more easy
That's right. I tried it and it's work charming. It helped me a lot. +1 for 4EXT!
Yhey are both great. Cw has less features and its simplier than ext4. But ext4 has touch alternative
Hi, I am trying to install the Revolution HD ROM...it says to install 4EXT recovery. I downloaded the updater and installed the program on the phone. However, when I boot into recovery (volume down/power), it stills boot into clockwork recovery.
Can I flash that ROM from that? or should it show 4EXT recovery? Do I have to uninstall Clockwork or something?
Sounds like you forgot to flash the recovery.

It's smooth as butter, I love the fact that you have more control over what you are backing up, ie not backing up Davik or cache, saves room and time, faster backup and restore than CWM and it has themes. Stability. I've been using it since it's first release, it was the first Touch Recovery.
Oh...sorry for being dumb...but how would you flash the 4EXT recovery? I couldn't really find a clear guide to install it...I just downloaded the apk file as instructed and then install the program from the app....I haven't seen anywhere about flashing the 4EXT.
Appreciate your help!

Easy, just open up the 4ext app that you downloaded and click online install, make sure you have internet and just follow the on screen directions.

Open the app, there should be an option for installing recovery. I am on paid app so I am not certain where it's located in the free version. Should be up at the top I would think.
You can flash without 4Ext but with 4Ext it's better and have more options,like instaling diferent kernels and Sony Bravia engines.You will like 4Ext better once you have it.

An APK of 4EXT free can be downloaded at their website at 4ext.net or you can follow the link in my sig
Flash the ROM, it includes 4Ext Recovery in it.

Sweet ! Does it flash roms faster aswell ??

is there a way to install this without going the kexec rout sense we have a unlocked bootloader now?
is it easy to flash it if you go back to rooted stock and then unlock your phone?
Just use ROM manager or even better, the ez recovery app to flash regular, touch or twrp recovery. Non kexic should use the non-touch 6.0.1.0

I wanna flash Touch through Odin (unless there's an easier way) but will having regular clockwork installed hurt anything if I flash?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Flash touch over regular cwm via ez recovery. It's fine. Don't use odin to flash recovery.
Thanks! Did that and it worked!

FYI...it would be better if you ran CWM 6.0.1.0 instead of CWM Touch...ive had better results with the newer version, if you're interested in trying it out.
I actually used CMW to flash 6.0.1.2 over 6.0.1.0 as opposed to using EZ recovery. I used EZ Recovery to get 6.0.1.0 on the phone in the first place. I do this because the first S3 I tried to use the custom option in EZ Recovery on was soft bricked upon flash completion.

Agreed, just use the CWM ROM Manager app to flash on the most current 6.0.1.2. You can also flash most recent touch recovery through the app as well, that option is at the bottom. I use the touch while I am using ICS roms, but when I start playing with JB developments, I flash back to 6.0.1.2 standard recovery. Though I have not experienced any issues with touch and JB, the developers warn in bold to not use it with JB roms. CWM is updated more frequently than the EZ recovery app, and why use an outside source to flash CWM anyways? EZ recovery is good to start out with because of its different recovery options, but ultimately is not better that the actual recovery source app CWM.
I have been flashing (roms) for a while now devices including G2, HTC Hero, HTC Thunderbolt, Moto Razr, and now Galaxy S3. I don't typically post questions on any forums because I usually can find an answer with enough searching, it pains me to write this.
Problem: I can only flash certain roms on my Verizon SGS3.
I have no problem flashing unofficial aokp, unofficial cm10, and Synergy.
When I try to install different roms from xda and other websites i get the attached photo. These roms include paranoid android, miui, liquids jelly bean, and a few others.
My device is rooted, unlocked bootloader through ez unlock, running clockworkmod (touch) v5.8.4.5 via ez recovery.
Before I flash I always:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
format system
wipe dalvik cache
Re-downloading has not fixed the issue. I'm sure im missing something simple any help would be warmly welcomed!
Thanks in advance all!

The problem is your running the wrong cwm recovery. 5 . something version causes problems with jb rom's. Surprising you got cm10 to run. Download cwm rom manager and install cwm touch 6.0.1.2 touch from in that application. EZ recovery does not offer that version of touch, but it does offer that version of regular. I don't see all the hype about ez recovery. That's definitely your issue.

Bingo!! Wrong version of CMW, just download e-z flasher from the play store and use it to flash either TWP or CMW. Easy peasy quick and easy.
I suggest you use twrp.
Twrp has bugs with jb rom's. Cwm regular or touch 6.0.1.2 is the most stable safe way to go. If your unsure at all, use cwm. Twrp on our devices at this time is NOT as stable as cwm, but does work effectively. If you use twrp, don't be surprised if you get a poor flash here and there.
