I have been using the twrp recovery for all from installs with no problems. In the directions for skyics is says you are supposed to use cwm. Is the a reason for that or is it personal preference?

I think its just on his experience. and that was comparing the new touch version versus the regular cwm. I use it fine. Had run into issues at one point where twrp didn't like one of the versions and I had to switch back to cwm to fix. but thats been fixed in the latest skyics and am now back on it.

Okay, so I've installed Clockwork recovery on my Inspire, and as far as I remember, if you're on Froyo, you need 2.x.x.x, right? Well, if I choose to install an older version of CWM, I think it's 2.5.1.4, it gives me an error (an error occured while flashing your recovery). The last version of Rom Manager I had did the same thing with that version, but it at least had the option for 2 older 2.x.x.x versions.
Where can I get a functioning, older CWM?
Afaik everyone has changed their rom update scripts to support cw 3.*

Okay. I was using LeeDroid and when I would go through a backup, it would lock at the HTC white screen. Everyone said it was because I'm on 3.X.X.X
2.5. 1.4 is screwed. Go to 2.5. 1.3

Right on. Thanks, man.
I have a rooted VZ GS3 with SU, ROM Manager, some Titanium frozen apps. Wanting to load a ROM but need to backup first. Whenever I attempt to backup with CWM (5.8.4.8) I get "Error while backing up boot image!". There is plenty of space so any idea what I am missing?
Bump. I'm having the same issue. My Cwm doesn't show my external sdcard either. It used to show internal sdcard and external sdcard but after soft bricking and using Odin to flash a Rom I lost that ability.

Is that a version of CWM Touch?
I believe this is a common issue, at least when I was having it and researched, and the accepted fix is to use a non-touch CWM. I'd recommend 6.0.1.0 as it has the ability for kexec and ensures you won't have an issue with flashing aftermarket kernels

This!
Verified the issue is with CWM Touch. I reverted to the non-touch version, and I had no issues backing up.
Try using a different version of CWM touch. I have trouble backing up and restoring with touch too
I have no issues with K-exec CWM http://goo.im/devs/BeansTown106/SGS3vzw/cm9/d2vzw_recovery.img

6.0.1.0 should do it. Also, make sure you are selecting the option to back up to the internal sdcard and not the external. That one took me a few minutes to realize as i don't have a 2nd sd card in my phone.
Would any problem arise if I switched recoveries using the ez-recovery app? I used it to flash twrp and I'm just not liking it?

Nope ... that is the beauty of that app.
I am using CWM 6.0.1.2 Touch currently. You can extract the .img file from the .zip or .tar downloads and flash it thru the app, or use any of the preloaded ones.
CWM 5.8.4.9 Touch or 6.0.1.0 work fine ...

I've lost count of the number of times I've switched recoveries. EZ recovery does make it very easy to do so. And it has made no impact on my phone's performance at all.
But as always, do it on your own risk.
So I like to use Rom Manager to manage my backups. I downloaded it but now it says I don't have cwm installed. I flashed it with EZ recovery. Would I be okay to flash recovery again so RM acknowledges it and I can then manage backups or would that conflict.
Great Question - Thanks for asking it

By now you've probably plotted the solution. But, I was wondering the same question. Which App is better and why?
I will continue working on this for myself. All I have come up with so far: Some ROM's install better with one or the other and it's best to have all-hands-on-deck, so to speak
Again thanks for starting this thread!
I have the same question.

rom manager has cwm 6.0.1.2 touch which has issues restoring backups on some roms from what I have read. cwm 6.0.1.1 non touch from ez recovery works flawless for everything and thats what I stick with. the only issue found with it is the nandroid dates are way off, but simply renaming them fixes that issue.
I thought the issue was with cwm touch 5 . something that ez recovery offers and not with the updated 6.0.1.2 through rom manager?
I'm running 6.0.1.2 without any issues, including multiple touchwiz and one aosp backup. Haven't noticed any problems other than never going back to the standard version cause touch is pure awesomeness

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.
