Forget cwm. TWRP works so much easier.
HTC One S running Zydroid!

And trust me, I don't say that with ease. I've been cwm user since the beginning. Koush is the man. But TWRP offers so much more and is easier to flash roms since it flashes the boot.img for you
HTC One S running Zydroid!

yeah, you can use which ever you want
for twrp just dl goo manager from market, open it, tap menu, tap "Install Open Recovery Script"
it will flash twrp recovery
i was amonra forever the 4ext recently, cwm and twrp only options for 1s atm
but, still best to resolve your issues first, so my recommendation is cwm thru fastboot. it is less likely to cause other issues until you get things sorted

Clockworkmod not working? Help

OK I got a new G2X after the charger port in my old one from T-mobile. I root it with superclick one then download clockwork from the marketplace. I try to boot into recovery and then the phone hangs. When he does not hang it says install of update fails and wont let me flash my rom. Did clock work change or am I doing doing something wrong?

That one from the market is a no go for this phone. That recovery (I assume via ROM Manager) simply not gonna stick.
Go to this thread and flash the recovery using Nvflash:

This question should go to the G2X Q&A section, though.

Aren't both Clockworkmod and ROM Manager abandonware?

Abandonware??? What gives you that idea??
In the play store ROM Manager was updated the 16th of this month, and if CWM was also abandonware then no newer devices would have been getting CWM on it.
Is that a legit question or are you trolling? I find it hard to believe someone would be calling it that.

First, the best way to get CMW of any version is by using the NV Flash ( Search that up ). Then you can boot into recovery by pushing the power button (the one on top), and the volume down button ( Its on the right side). It should boot into recovery perfectly after you do this. Tell us if it works!

Agree, Best way to flash recovery is Thru NV flash. Its a little complicated but ones you get the hang of it, its easy than you though
ROM manger can flash recovery but not always does a full flash, so best way is NVflash.

[Q] Bizarre CWM problem on TF101

When trying to update my TF I accidentally flashed an incomplete Rom (got lazy and didn't check MD5...) Anyway, ever since then it ALWAYS boots into CWM (5.8.3.4) If I boot w/Vol DN and let it cold-boot then it will go into a fresh install and setup fine. However, on the next reboot it will go back to CWM 5.8.3.4 I have flashed the newer CWM 6.0.1.4 v2 but it won't "take" the install seems to go fine but it always boots back to the old CWM. I've also flashed other ROMS and they don't "take" either.
Confused...

Install different recovery... use easy flash and push either TWRP recovery or rogue recovery... personally I prefer TWRP recovery.. once you have a new recovery wipe everything ( internal memory also) and install a better ROM...

Lolz.. flash a recovery simple. You are lucky that your phone atleast boots.
Dont use rom manager.. use terminal method.
rr0yy I have cwm flashed trough rom manager but many people does not recommend it, why? for me worked perfect
I heard that aroma recovery is better and you can edit files in recovery mode
what recovery do you have and it is safe to flash another recovery over cwm ?

Rom Manager used to be good.. but now it doesnt support our device.
(May be due to ICS and JB.. its been a long time i tried it on GB 'BUT' that is just a theory).
Me and many others have faced soft brick due to Rom Manager.
ClockworkMod stable ver5.0.2.x is good and recommended.
I use AmonRa 3.06 .
Yes.. you can flash any recovery over other.

what is your opinion abouth AROMA RECOVERY ???
There are many mod recoveries for P500. You have to try it yourself and see which one suits you best.
I felt.. CWM was incapable of wiping sdext and other things.
AmonRa works well.
> yep cwm is buggy, better use AmonRA or twrp now.
I think we all are going away from topic
Install amonra in the terminal emulator

CWM 5.0.2.7
I am using ROM manager to flash the CWM 5.0.2.7 into my P500. I read some said got problem but I have been using this for months in flashing my JB 4.1.2 with no issue. I do have a backup copy of AmonRa 3.06.
If you do not know how to use the terminal, Rom manager CWM 5.0.2.7 might be a good option.

Update CWM

I've searched and Googled... I can't find this at all. How do I update my CWM?? I'm on 6.0.2.3. I hear there is a 6.0.2.8

If you haven't already, download Rom Manager from the play store here.
Open the app, and go to the Recovery Setup section and you can update it from there.
Try this

Also IDF you want to try twrp you can get goo app and select menu then update recovery.

Can anyone please provide me with the latest s3 Verizon CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 odin flashable tar file?
Thanks in advance!
I made tar.md5's here of 6.0.2.8 for you guys of both touch and regular, you can get them here
http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/recoveries/
I'm going to recommend that you DO NOT use the dd method posted above. Its dangerous. If you were to type the wrong partition, you could very easily brick your device.
If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
Or use rom manager
Or....find some other way....dd is dangerous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

Definitely the easiest method! Just did it two days ago using this method
Its free for the non touch version, or like $1 or $2 for the touch version, well worth it!

I just updated via ROM Manager to Clockwordmod 6.0.2.9 and once I booted into recovery and did a backup, I was unable to reboot the system. I was able to reboot the phone via power + home button power on and installed Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.2.9. I also had the same problem with Clockworkmod touch where it wouldn't reboot the phone.

For those getting stuck in recovery loop...
Reboot in odin (power+volumedown+home) and select cancel.
Tokedup found this link for previous versions...use ez recovery to flash img files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096735
is this a known issue with the latest CWM? i ran into the recovery loop, too.
Using EZ Recovery and those recovery img files at that link work for me to get an older recovery installed. Also verified that I can successfully reboot the phone from recovery again.

I have both TWRP and CWM recovery on S3, how to remove one of them?

I have 2 Recovery on my S3 and I don't know how that happen, I thought when you flash a recovery it would replace the existing one, this is the first time I see 2 Recovery on an Android phone.
I rooted my S3 using CASUAL 1-click method, is it possible that CASUAL flashed 2 recoveries? Anyway, I can use ROM Manager to switch the default recovery but I would really to have just 1 Recovery on the phone. How dow I remove one of them?
Thanks
You don't have 2. Its impossible. When you tell it to reboot to recovery, which none comes up?

That is what I thought, maybe I have the wrong intepretation of this ROM Manager tool then. In the attached screenshot it says I have both CWM and TWAP already installed... What does it actually mean?
BTW, as of what recovery comes up when I reboot it to recovery, it depends on what I default it to in ROM Manager.
My guess would be that you have TWRP as the actual recovery, but also have the CWM app installed. If so, uninstall it. I would also download goo manager and have it install the latest TWRP

It depends on which recovery it's set as default before I uninstall ROM Manager. If it's set to twrp before I uninstall the app, it would boot to twrp and vice versa.

The ROM manager is overwriting the recovery when you tell it to reboot into recovery. That's why you can boot to which ever one you want. You definitely don't have 2 different recoveries on you recovery partition. Hope that makes sense.

Head to your phone's respective forum (carrier or international) and post a question in the Q/A section. You have a popular device so someone undoubtedly will help you there and provide you whatever file you may need.

Rom Manager is not saying you have both installed. That is a configuration screen. It is saying, do you want to install CWM OR do you have CWM or TWRP already installed?

The Verizon S3 does not have TWRP 2.6.3.2 (or 2.6.3.3), which device are you on? The way to uninstall TWRP is to install the latest CWM via Rom Manager or by downloading the img and flashing it in something like Flashify.
