Recovery - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Am I correct in assuming that you can only have one recovery program installed at a time? Also does the original native recovery remain on the phone as that is what you'd want with a soft brick?

That's right. Only one recovery at a time. And it replaces the stock recovery.

So you can get to it, whether it's cwm or twrp etc, with the buttons like during a boot failure?

Yes. You can boot into any recovery that's currently installed using the button combo.

Which recovery for non kexic boot?

Once and for all, it's so freaking confusing since the bootloader has been unlocked, which recovery do I flash if I use a non kexic Rom, and if I don't want the triple boot?
Thanks in advance.

CWM touch 5.8.X.X (X's because i cant remember the last two numbers) or TWRP. Both of which can be flashed using EZ Recovery.

One simple question. Why? ROM manager creates nothing but issues usually l

[Q] question about TWRP and CWMR

If I installed both, what would happen when I reboot into recovery? Will I get to choose one over the other upon booting?
You can't install both

Whichever you installed last would be your recovery.

Thank you guys. These two recoveries are both great and similar. But I like to use CWM especially the new touch version.
Twrp is better than classic cwm in my opinion, didn't try the touch one

CWM Recovery 5.8.1.3 Freezing??

So I flashe's CWM Recovery 5.8.1.3 on my Skyrocket Gingerbread Stock ROM and every single time I try to.boot into it, it just completely freezes and I cannot scroll to my SD-Card to install Superuser. Any ideas as to what is going on or what I can do?

Don't use the volume keys in that recovery. Strictly touch. If in were you I would just use 6.0.1.0

Boot manager

Is there a blue folder available for the s3? I'm using the Galaxy mod ROM now and really like it but I'd like to keep checking out new rooms. Is there a convenient way to boot up another rom without having to wipe out what I'm running?

It gets me all the time too! But as of now there is not, there are some in the works from what I hear. So right now the easiest way is to make a backup and flash then just restore when you're ready to go back

Yes unfortunately no Boot Manager yet. Init2winit apps is unable to support the app anymore. The good news is that they are currently trying to find a reputable dev to take it over. Hopefully someone will.

I was really excited when it came out for the droid x. I bought it and really never used it, it just didn't work right. Cool idea but never work for me. I am sure the dx having a locked bootloader really held it back.

Thanks for the feedback. i used safe strap 3 for my motorola razr it allowed you to create a seperate boot partition,boot into recovery and choose the active-one . Is there something similar?

No there isn't, but it you just make a nan of your stock system before flashing it is basically the same thing

Fhz file question

In am new to the matrix 2 and was wondering if the fhz files are the ones you flash to get back to stock. Also, if so does it flash recovery and everything?
Thanks

Did you even try searching? Or checking spelling?
But I'll answer anyways. Yes, and yes.
