On my HOX I have TWRP installed. What is the difference between CWM and TWRP? Don't they do the same thing?
Most importantly, will CWM mods work with TWRP? (like the .zip ones) Also, what about de-odexing?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm new to android modding.
Cwm is buggy. You can use twrp for everything and it's fine.

Alright so there are no downsides to using TWRP right? On this forum all I see is CWM on every thread

CWM is the most common recovery, cause its the oldest and most known. But, you can also tell its the oldest, as the UI is... Ugly, compared to TWRP. The "slide to confirm" function on TWRP is really nice IMO.
But yeah, when they say "CWM", they just mean a custom recovery.
Also, TWRP is officially supported on our devices, which is why its recommended above CWM.

It's not 100% bug free but it is much more stable than cwm.
^That, and the TWRP tries to fix the bugs as they are presented.

Good to note too that CWM nandroids are not restorable in TWRP. So all previous backups from CWM are useless once you change.

i have CWM on my one x, if i want to change it to TWRP, how would i do that? follow instruction on TWRP web site?? http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
I started out using CWM but switched because I use CleanRom and Scott suggested using TWRP. I just loaded it by downloading GooManager from google play and then following the install instructions. Worked fine for me...

You can just install TWRP right on top of CWM using a flashable TWRP zip, Goo Manager, or through fastboot.

Another point, the version of cwn for the HOX is an unofficial port and thus not supported. There is an official version of twrp for the HOX, which is reason enough to switch.

CWM was never officially released for our phone. It was a port from another version and isn't perfect. My experience with twrp has not shown me a single problem or even a hiccup.

I went with twrp, it was the recommended recovery for my rom.
Was a clockwork user and I must say twrp is very nice, and no charge bug.

Yet another vote for TWRP. I like the touch interface and have used the install, backup, and restore with no issues.
i had 5.8.2.7 and i flashed to 5.8.4.0 and now when i try to boot into recovery it just sits at the HTC screen for a while and then reboots
Use twrp instead. Clockwork isn't officially supported on our phone. Twrp is.
That or just fast boot into recovery. Is that way not working either?

The only way I've had any success getting into Recovery with CWM is to go into Rom Manager and boot into recovery from there.

I had exactly the same problem, the only thing that ended up working for me was installing Goomanager and doing it from there.
Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript. This will install TWRP, and worked a treat for me.
I've noticed that when you first do the fastboot flash recovery that when you adb reboot into recovery, or even manually boot into recovery, it won't boot into it the first time. It will after you try again though. This has happened on 3 One X's so I know it's not a single phone specific thing.
Use TWRP, but don't be lazy and do it from the app, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as reliable as my trusty adb commands. If you need help on what commands, PM me. Only three I used, without a hitch.

Flashing a recovery from fastboot is not being lazy. There's actually more work involved than installing from an app. I think you have it the other way around.

Are both recoveries able to install the same roms? or are some roms only able to be installed through CWM or TWRP?
i'm assuming they both install the same way, so all roms should work regardless. It's just that rom threads say "install using clockwork", but i guess that's just a common phrase now..

yeah install using clockwork is common language for use recovery, since cwm is the more well known one.
Just as an opinion, TWRP looks better to me, because its not all just clicks and such, TWRP you slide to confirm, you can flash multiple .zips one after the other (Useful for AOSP roms where you need GAPPS, and if you change the kernel like I do) etc.
Also, as stated before, its an official recovery on our devices, so we get full support should bugs arise.

Did you turn off "Fast Boot" in "Power settings" before you tried to reboot into recovery?
That Recovery is for the International HOX (tegra 3) not for out AT&T HOX (S4).
Does anyone have a link to up to date instructions on flashing twrp to my phone. i have the ATT version not the international

Oh no worries bro, sounds different in my head but I see what you're saying.
Just like the title says, whats the best Recovery for GS3? Is it CWM Touch 5.8.4.9, CWM 6.0.1.0 or TWRP 2.2.0?
The most current version for clockwork is 6.0.1.2--there's a non-touch and touch version.
Personally, I prefer the Clockwork touch recovery.

Ok so CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 is your choice, have you tried TWRP 2.2.2.0? I like TWRP but want to know if its stable enough just like CWM Touch 6?
cwm 6.0.1 works on everything for this device.

Maybe I haven't searched around enough.. But I'm still kinda confused on why I can't see my external sd card
I reformatted mine to fat32..So for now I'm moving files between internal and external to flash
Was kinda hoping a different recovery would fix that =/
CWM 6.0.1.0 regular version (not the touch version) works perfectly for me (& I've done more than one full restore with it) so I have no reason to even try anything else at this point.

I have tried TWRP and I kept having difficulty flashing from the external sd card so I tried CWM touch and haven't had any problems. A lot of people have said TWRP is fully functional though, so I'm not sure what my issue was.
cwm 6.0.1-whatever version is latest. Hasnt given me any issues so far!
Running latest twrp here and loving it. Best recovery imo

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.

When I looked in ROM Manager it did state Twrp was the recovery but stil booted in to CWM - now I have removed ROM Manager I cant check :/
I have also just checked for CWM APP, and that is NOT installed
Can anyone help please - thanks

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.

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that is touch based. So instead of constantly clicking buttons like in CWM you can just just do a full wipe with one swipe, if you only want to wipe certain partitions you can with advanced wipe. Also it also allows you to flash as many as 10 zips at a time. i recommend this to any user and i use it for My Galaxy Nexus, and Galaxy SIII. easiest way to get it is via Goo.im app you can get it via the Play Store.
