Ok so I'm stock rooted and I want to install CWM 6.0.1.0, so I downloaded Ez Recovery from the market and also the apk from the original post here on XDA. But it will not install CWM. I tried all the options. Recovery, Hybrid, and Stock, but when I flash them and it says it was installed successfully I press reboot it takes me to stock recovery every time.
Whats the problem???
Is it possible someone could provide me with a link to the recovery img file or tell me how to fix this problem?
Thanks
This may be obvious, but are you selecting reboot recovery from ez app menu?
Yes, when I flash my recovery I press reboot
Have you run the superuser app initially? I had similar behavior in which it said it flashed but still had stock recovery. The initial run of superuser got things going and when I ran ez recovery again it asked for root permissions and worked as expected...

I saw you post this in beans thread but I didn't have a fix but then I remembered how I fixed this on my phone. Uninstall ez recovery and reinstall from market. There was a problem with the version numbers or something and this fixed that problem for me

I was having the same issue as the OP and your advice did it for me! I went back to stock about 2 days ago and I was already getting bored with it.

Wondering if any of you guys have had the problem where it flashes the recovery successfully and you can reboot in CWM / TWRP just fine. Then once you get back into the system and try reboot recovery again, it goes straight to the stock recovery.
Is this normal? Do I have to flash the recover everytime?
There is something you need to do in recovery to make it persist, some option you need to select. I'm still not clear on what it is, because its been a long time since I used CWM. I hope someone will chime in with exactly what needs to be done to make it stick so I can be clear on it as well.

When you select reboot, it will tell you that it is reverting back to stock recovery unless you fix it. You scroll down and select yes and you are good to go.

This happened to me as well when I first rooted. I had to reboot a few times until the proper recovery booted. Now that I have flashed a Rom, CWM recovery boots properly every time.

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

So I installed Clockwork mod touch via terminal emulator and the image on their site. It installs fine and works.....not really.
When I get into recovery and attempt to perform a backup of my current rom it simply says an error has a occured. this happens weather I boot into recovery to do it manually or i attempt to do it through rom manager.
Any ideas of what could be wrong?
Try installing EZ-Recovery from the market, then flash CWM Touch from there. It's a one click flash to recovery, no terminal commands.

jesus that app made it so much simpler. too bad it's still not working correctly. Now I'm wordering if the img got corrupted somehow during download to the phone.
After redownloading and flashing it the error is still happening. Regular CWM Recovery works perfectly. Touch...still getting errors. Basically when I click backup it says "backing up boot image" then nothing happens and it goes right back the menu. When I click it again I get the erroer message "Error while backing up root image"
One thing I've noticed is, even with CWM Touch flashed, rom manager still sees it as CWM Recovery 5.8.4.9
Is it possible it just doesn't like synergy?
Yeah I had the same problem when I installed CWM touch using the adb push method. Wouldn't backup, backup was fine with the non-touch version. However, installing via ez-recovery worked.

glad I'm not the only one.
Also noticed tonight smart alert isn't working after flashing to synergy. I thought maybe haptic feedback in power saving could be the cause but it isn't.
Edit: Tried again for the hell of it and this time I pointed to the cwm touch apart of ezrecovery and not the custom option by chossing the file and it now works.
All of that said rom manager and the cwm touch don't seem to work well together(im guessing unless you purchase
?) When you make a backup manually from going into recovery rom manager doesn't see it. CWM Touch also doesn't see the recovery made from non touch made in rom manager. Also Clockwork mod also still shows recovery as cwm 4.8.4.9
I'm relatively experienced in flashing roms but not ALL things root so this could be normal and just how things work.
Smart alert, still doesn't work.
So i downloaded rom manager from the market. I went to flash clockworkmod recovery to the phone and selected verizon galaxy s3. It progressed a certain amount then stopped responding. I'm a bit hesitant to reboot my phone but should this have worked?
I'm rooted and unlocked bootloader.

Try reflashing or ditch Rom Manager and use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 6.0.1.0.

I did it a second time and it asked for SU. Seemed to go through. I'm going to reboot and see if it works.
Do not use ROM manager, just use EZ Recovery from the market.

It didn't brick his phone, for some reason the first time you flash cwm from rom manager, it hangs when it's about to ask for SU permissions, it force closes. Second time it will go through, doesn't brick your phone or anything of that nature.

I don't believe you can hard brick a phone from a recovery. You can always flash the stock recovery.img and be fine. I used ez recovery and chose custom and selected CMW 6 flashed, said ok, rebooted and the phone automatically went into download mode and would not boot up. All i did was flash the recovery.img i pulled from cmw non touch and flashed recovery and all was good.

I tried to install this > [ROM][VRBLK3][4.1.1][RLS10] GalaxyMod ¯`•._ The New Transmission - xda-developers but when it finished it said I had unauthorized software on my phone so I figured I'd do a stock restore back to 4.0.4. When I did this and rooted the phone after it did the 2 software updates to IMM76D.I535VRALHE I installed root and Rom Manager. However this time I get no choices in Rom Manager. It only shows my Galaxy S3 phone and shows unsupported. I've done this restore and recover numinous times before with no issues now Rom Manager is acting up and will not let me select any phone. The list just shows 1 phone which is mine that's unsupported. How can I Fix this? I need to restore my backup rom I created with CWM. Urgent Help is requested. Thanks!
Boot into cwm manually by powering down then holding volume up, home and power
Then there's an option for backup restore

It won't install the recovery so I get the stock recovery each time I try that.. When it lists the phones to install the recovery it only shows my 1 phone instead of showing all the available phones like it's supposed too. When I did this before it would show me about 20 phones and all 4 Galaxy Phones on each network now it shows nothing but my unsupported phone.
Download ez recovery and use that to install the recovery.

The problem is my CWM is showing the following and I would much rather use it but it won't let me no matter what I try!
SCH-I535 does not have an offcially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?
Have you cleared app data? Besides that I don't know must people use ez recovery. The people I've seen use ROM manager usually have problems. All either of them do is install cwm recovery on your phone.
Sent from my SCH-I535
I did a forced recovery install from the advanced menu so now I'm in the Rom Manager recovery menu restoring my nandroid backup. Maybe this will fix my Rom Manager since it restores everything I assume? Maybe after it's done I will see the Verizon Galaxy S3 as an option in Rom Manager?
Nope, still shows unsupported. Did they do an update or something. This is sort of retarded! If I do a manual and view all recoveries I see the Galaxy S3. What gives with that? It still won't flash it though.
Guess I'll get used to EZ Recovery until CWM is fixed. Thanks. Unless anyone else knows how to fix the issue.
hello guys
i installed cm11 through one click installer had cwm on it now suddenly after reboot its taking me to simple recovery?!?
dont know what happened..need help
in my rom manager app its still showing current recovery as cwm 6.0.4.5 but when i reboot to recovery it takes me to simple recovery
pls help!
ok edit : when i go to recovery from rom manager app it takes me to cwm but when i do it manually ( advanced power button and volume + power button) it takes me to simple?
edit again : when i click on install from sd card (to install m9) it takes me back to simple recovery even from within rom manager??
first off, get rid of rom manager. itll has so many issues and will cause you many headaches. what you did first is not flash a recovery to your device, you just booted it. thats only for a one time use. you need to flash the custom recovery to have it permanently on your phone.
Reflash your recovery. And I recommend TWRP. I hear complaints ALL the time with CWR due to bugs but never TWRP. I've used CWR in the past on my Droid X. But I've since gone TWRP and I'm never looking back.

use the flashify app, its free, and can be used to flash other things besides a recovery. its a great app. you dont need rom manager to get into a recovery ever. if you press the power button(long), youll get a menu, press reboot. then youll get 3 more option, reboot/recovery/bootloader, press recovery(after you use flashify to flash your recovery).
I recommended Rom Installer over Flashify. It will download your recovery for you and keep it up to date. It will provide ROM updates. Also you can create a queue of zips to flash before you reboot. Then it flashes them automatically. It's a really good app. Way better then ROM Manager. Made by Jrummy so you know it's good . Not trying to bash @simms22. It's just my preferred app.
