So I used the ez unlock app which was super easy. Prior to unlocking I've been using CWM 6.0.1 to make/restore backups.
Can i still use CWM or should I switch to twrp??? Wasn't quite sure if I should continue to use CWM now that I'm unlocked. Plus can I still restore backups prior to unlocking if I need too??

CWM will still work exactly the same.

CMW works fine, but I switch to TWRP

Basically your answer depends on whether you want to run a kexec ROM or not. If your current ROM is kexec then don't change a thing. Once you go to flash a nonkexec ROM you will need to switch to a normal recovery like twrp or a normal cwm.
Unlocking your bootloader does not require you to change but know that all of the new ROMs will go to nonkexec. At which point you will have to switch recoveries to use them.

If I switch to twrp can I use my backups made with the locked boot loader?? Not that I probably would but you never know if I run into an issue.
Which version of cwm should I use?? I originally used ez recovery to install CWM 6.0.1.

I currently have a stock, rooted, unlocked SGS3 with CWM Ver 6.0.1.2. I also have EZ Recovery installed. I'm curious about TWRP, can I install it and have multiple recoveries or are the recoveries a one at a time deal?
Thanks
There one at a time. Just flash one and test it out. Don't like it, flash another. Currently I'm enjoying CWM.

cwm is my favorite.

You can flash whatever recovery you want with either rom manager or ez recovery. I like the touch version of cwm recovery.
Also if you have a custom recovery you cannot receive OTA updates

If I flash TWRP, will it overwrite my current CWM? Or do I need to remove it first? Also, could I flash it from within CWM or would that break something?
Thanks

No, you can install CWM using Rom manager. You can install TWRP using GooManager (tap Menu, then install Openscriptrecovery) You can also install either through EZ Recovery if you have the img file.

You might want to update your cwm.

You don't have to do a permanent install of CWM. Download CWM for your device from clockworkmod.com/rommanager, install zip thorough stock recovery and CWM will replace the stock recovery temporarily. When you reboot your device, you should have your stock recovery back.
I was running CWM Recovery and just flashed VRBMF1 using TWRP. I still see the CWM fplder and ROM Manager does too. Can I just delete the CWM folder? I cannot boot to CWM Recovery...
I also just noticed that the Baseband version still showing VRBMB1...Build version however correctly shows VRBMF1

If you don't have any backups in that folder and TWRP is working correctly then go ahead and delete it. Not sure about the second issue though, sorry
Thanks..

No problem, best of luck
Deleted CWM folder...no issues

Custom Recoveries
This is the most recent list of recoveries for the SCH-i535 Verizon galaxy S3. I will be keeping this up to date to make it easier to find the most recent recoveries for our device.
Installation
CWM and TWRP are .img files and are easiest to install from EZ Recovery or Flashify apps from the play store.
EZ-Recovery
Flashify
Philz is installed by either using odin to flash the .tar.md5 file or by flashing the zip in recovery.
Safestrap is installed through an application.
I don't hold any responsibility of what happens to your phone due to flashing these.
Clockworkmod Recovery
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
Clockworkmod Touch Recovery
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
TWRP Recovery
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.0 - 10-21-13
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.1 - 11-24-13
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0 - 3-08-14
Philz Touch Recovery
Advanced CWM Recovery
Philz Touch Recovery 5 - v. 5.15.0 - CWM 6.0.3.7 - 10-21-13
Philz Touch Recovery 6 - v. 6.15.4 - CWM 6.0.4.7 - 2-13-14
Safestrap Recovery
Only use on VRUCML1 base! Modified TWRP with sdcard partitioning ability for custom roms on locked bootloaders.
Safestrap Recovery - TWRP 2.6.3.1 - 1-10-14
Updating the Update-Binary
If you receive a status 7 error when flashing a zip in recovery, pull the update binary from the latest CM nightly. This should be resolved in Philz Recovery as it automatically works around it, but may throw errors in the latest CWM recovery.
Here's how to replace the file:
Unzip the folder
Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android
Replace the older update-binary with the newer one
rezip
This will allow files to flash on the newer recoveries until all developers update the binary on their own zips, or a fix is in place.
I want to thank @andybones for giving me this idea, and giving me permission to make an updated thread.
I also want to thank all the developers of these great recoveries.
I don't always have time to check and see when these are updated, so if someone could reply to this thread or PM me when there's an update that would be great. I'll provide a link for it and update the thread.
Thank you ever since i flashed an aosp rom and created that stupid 0/ folder i javent been able to flash a new recovery. Stuck on TWRP 2.6.0.0 for months

I used flashify to upgrade my recovery from TWRP 2.5.0 to 2.6.3 just fine.
Sent from my Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy SIII, via Tapatalk.
Flashify works fine, I just recommend ez recovery because the interface is very simple and it's made for flashing recoveries only.
It's also made for this specific phone model only and it flashes recoveries more reliably and without any hiccups that I've seen with other recovery apps. I think it's very well made despite it being over a year old.

For some reason when I've used ez recovery, it didn't change my recovery version.

Sometimes it does that, I usually flash from my internal card and that fixes the problem, try moving the file and try again.
You can tell it was successful because it takes a second to flash, if it doesn't work the notification flash successful will come up instantaneously.

It doesn't even show up from the internal SD card when I'm in recovery. I've tried using ez and flashify and both say the same thing but same results. I've even tried downloading it from the website and it won't even download the img file

Some browsers don't download the file properly, I use Chrome and it works. You should be able to move it to your internal SD card, find it by hitting the ellipses next to custom, and flash it.
If you still can't do it, there's a tar file on their website that you can use to ODIN flash.

Prolly just do it that way. Will it erase my ROM and all that or will it be safe? Haven't ever reflashed a recovery after being rooted

Does anybody know of a recovery that will work with a new Verizon GS3? I just got an insurance replacement that is brand new. I can't find a recovery that will mount the internal or external SD card. I was able to root, unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery but neither TWRP or CWM will mount the SD cards (or any partitions that I can tell).
It sounds like the guys with the Sprint GS3 have figured it out and I'm wondering if anybody has a modified recovery for the Verizon GS3. Here's the Sprint forum about this issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
