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.
Is there something wrong with ROM manager?

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 wanna flash Touch through Odin (unless there's an easier way) but will having regular clockwork installed hurt anything if I flash?

Flash touch over regular cwm via ez recovery. It's fine. Don't use odin to flash recovery.
Thanks! Did that and it worked!

FYI...it would be better if you ran CWM 6.0.1.0 instead of CWM Touch...ive had better results with the newer version, if you're interested in trying it out.
I actually used CMW to flash 6.0.1.2 over 6.0.1.0 as opposed to using EZ recovery. I used EZ Recovery to get 6.0.1.0 on the phone in the first place. I do this because the first S3 I tried to use the custom option in EZ Recovery on was soft bricked upon flash completion.

Agreed, just use the CWM ROM Manager app to flash on the most current 6.0.1.2. You can also flash most recent touch recovery through the app as well, that option is at the bottom. I use the touch while I am using ICS roms, but when I start playing with JB developments, I flash back to 6.0.1.2 standard recovery. Though I have not experienced any issues with touch and JB, the developers warn in bold to not use it with JB roms. CWM is updated more frequently than the EZ recovery app, and why use an outside source to flash CWM anyways? EZ recovery is good to start out with because of its different recovery options, but ultimately is not better that the actual recovery source app CWM.
Two questions:
1. How do i flash the new touch recovery without using rom manager (.img file from clockworkmod site)?
2. I installed the latest non touch recovery (with rom manager) but it's causing me problems. Every time i install a new rom I can't boot into recovery. I had to use LG flash tool to reinstall the stock v21e gingerbread and start all over again. Then i installed CM10 (which didnt work) and recovery didn't work again so i had to flash with LG flashtool again. Why is this happening?
With Cm10 I also had problem entering recovery, to enter recovery I've had to remove usb cable, then hold power button for 10sec( to have phone completely off) and then hold 3D+vold down+ power. Was releasing power when have backlight and holding buttons until entering recovery. Hope it will help. For me it works.

Have you tried an older recovery? I'm on CWM 5.0.2.0. Installed with Recovery Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23474089
The older recovery works fine, but that's not the point. I cant think of a single reason why is this happening with the newest version.
So does anyone know how to flash those .img files? Maybe from terminal emulator?

Yeah, you need to use Terminal emulator.
Instructions:
1. Put it on the root of the internal sdcard
2. Open Terminal App
3. Run :
Code:
su
Then
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
4. Reboot and now it would work !
^ Don't know why, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it's needed to install the regular non-touch recovery and then the touch one?
Edit: Nope, that wasn't it. Is CWM 6.0.1.9 for our phone broken? I can't get it to work whatever I try (Recovery Manager or flashing thru Terminal). So I got back to CWM 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I managed to get the latest recovery running. But as soon as I install another rom it stops working. Weird.

What are you using to install them? Cuz it sounds like you are installing some recovery in the system partition like the ics temp ones

I used rom manager and terminal emulator. I still haven't tried the latest touch recovery. I'll keep the older version until this gets fixed.

i have the same problem with my p920, flashing the newest CWM 6.0..1.9 and trying to reboot into it bricks the device...
i wanted to try out CM10, but i'm stucked on the lg logo after flashing it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35439373&postcount=721 )
At first this thread in the wrong section .
Try this (it's toooo easy) . It worked for me (in GB ) :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598320
And about flashing the .img . you can flash the .img with omap4boot when the phone in fastboot mode ( this what you should do with ICS) .
Maybe change the twrp.img or cwm.img with the recovery you want to flash . Maybe I'm not sure .

I had the same problem.
The latest CWM recovery (6.0.1.9) bricked my phone upon restart.
I had to flash a new rom to get it working, tried to entrer CWM recovery and it bricked again.
Finally reverted to stock recovery, i'm thinking about flashing CMW 5 again.
Can someone tell me which is the latest 5 version?
^ 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I couldn't make CWM 6.0.1.9 to work (non-touch and touch). Managed to boot into it temporarely, but that's all.
i am using CWM 6.0.1.9 with no problem. it works fine, also i am using CM10.

I used that one to flash stock recovery, it works great.
But I think it includes CWM Recovery version 5.2.0.7, not 5.8.1.5.

If you have any problems with ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
You can not install the CM10 or Jelly Bam
You have the bootloader locked.
I had the same problem and I unlocked the bootloader.
Now everything works perfectly.
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.

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.

Reboot in odin (power+volumedown+home) and select cancel.
Tokedup found this link for previous versions...use ez recovery to flash img files.

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.

Hi all -
I have a bit of a problem, and was wondering if anyone could help. I am rooted of course, and I run [JUL13-Build80] Domination ( from Owain ).
I had CWM v5.0.2.0, but I like TWRP a lot so I decided to install TWRP ( latest version for LG-G2x ) via goo. Well what happened was, when I boot into recovery it still booted into CWM, but then I would click on reboot from CWM and it would then boot to TWRP. Well I could live with that...but... now I can not get back into TWRP at all. I can only get to CWM.
So my question is .... what to do. I would like to use TWRP as my recovery and not CWM. What should I do at this point ??
Thanks
Interesting problem. I am assuming you have tried flashing TWRP again to see if it solves the problem? Do you get any error messages?
Edit: I think you should try nvflash to load TWRP. That should fix it.

If I may ask, what exactly is the difference between twrp and cwm?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
It sounds like twrp got flashed to your boot partition.
If you uses something like
"dd" "if" "twrp-image" "of" "dev/block/mmcblk0p5" you wrote twrp to your boot partition. This phone has a protected recovery partition accessible only via NVflash. Flash a kernel or ROM, and use NVflash to flash the twrp image.

There is a Modded version of NVflash somewhere in the g2x thread that has tarp in place of cwm. The OP is mustangtim. Ill see if I can find a link.
Here's the link to TWRP in our Devices forum. The link to mustangtims nvflash download is right under the install instructions. This modded NV flash is the only way I could get TWRP to work correctly on my device.
