I have a quick question. If I want to go from TWRP 2.2.0 to CWM Touch is it as simple as flashing the CWM Touch zip in TWRP? I'm a little worried about flashing it within TWRP and bricking my phone. Coming from CWM touch to TWRP I simply downloaded GooManager and installed it within the app but going back to Touch seems trickier.
Why leave twrp what's the problem

Yup, its as simple as flashing the zip. Make a fresh backup with cwm after you do it:thumbup:

I tried to flash Liquid Pre RC1 and got an error. I think you have to use CWM Touch to get it to flash and figured I'd go back to CWM. TWRP has been great but I feel like most all Roms work in CWM Touch but not all work in TWRP.
I've been trying to find a more stable JB rom from CM10 Alpha 3 and heard Liquid was pretty strong. Just tired of all the lockups and not ready to go back down to CM9 yet.
I flash everything in twrp your doing something wrong

I've found it's the exact opposite. TWRP and CWM Touch are slightly different in how they work; you sure you're not hitting the wrong button by mistake?
Not sure what happened but I tried flashing it once and it failed. Re downloaded the zip and tried a second time with the same error. The MD5 checked out and everything. I've flashed many times with TWRP with no issue so I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone confirm that Liquid flashes successfully in TWRP? Not counting out user error but I've never had an issue flashing anything.

Probably a stupid question, but have you tried re-downloading Liquid? MD5 checks don't always reveal all flaws.

Info
This is a zip to restore CWM from TWRP if you flashed TWRP and you hate it or if a kernel you like has TWRP and you prefer CWM.
This has been tested flashing using TWRP while on ICS.
I am not responsible for anything that happens s a result of flashing this.
Make sure "Inject TWRP" is unchecked before flashing.

lol haha we uncheck inject TWRP but do we check zip file sig verif. and Force md5? Or just leave all 3 unchecked and we should be okay?

I thought that rom manager used a temp-boot copy, so flashing it wouldn't overwrite the recovery that you access from the three finger boot?

I' am not able to restore CWM in place of TWRP. I could not post here earlier owing to the issue of 10 posts and i have crossed it just a while ago on another post on the same issue.
TWRP gives me an error message "unknown md5 error" for any zip file that i try to flash and hence i' am now stuck with ROM (MIUI V4) and the Kernel (Nyan Colonel). Due to the same error i' am unable to flash the CWM restore too. Is there any other way that i could restore CWM other than going back to stock with ODIN ?
Thanks

Ya... its called flash the twrp.zip in cwm... there is no zip for mtd cwm, but there is for twrp, if that clears it up for you at all....
I am having trouble, and since I cant post on the page where this should be asked. (this is my first post) I am asking here hoping that somebody will look...
I have rooted my verizon S3 and it works great... I am however trying to install a CM10 Rom on my device. I have followed the instructions and get all the way to selecting the zip on the sdcard. it finds it, it opens it and after about 20 seconds it gives me a status 7 error and says error in XXXXXX\XXXXX .zip
I have done all the steps perfectly and have formatted and wiped it twice trying this... I even have my backup in place...
I have tried 3 or 4 different cm10 roms and they all give me the same error... What am i over looking?
Thanks
I think you need to flash a CWM/kexec hybrid recovery.
Download the app EZ Recovery and flash the hybrid CWM 6.0.1.0

Well if he made the nooby mistake to flash cm10 with a non kexec recovery ..i think he should abandon his hopes of installing cm10 considerong the lost IMEI issue

nope and now im stuck boot looping TWRP after trying what you suggested unsuccessfully.
I appreciate the help... any ideas how I can get out of TWRP back to CWM so I can restore a backup?
Thanks..
You could always Odin back to stock then re-root and install cwm again and restore your backup. May be an easier way not sure. But back up your files on a PC if you do that.

I don't know how you are blaming me when I specifically told you to flash a ClockworkMod/Kexec recovery... not TWRP.
Seems your issue is lack of following directions. Good luck on solving your issue.

All of a sudden yesterday my phone started boot looping while I was running Invisiblek's CM10. I finally got that sorted out, and used ODIN to get me to the rooted version of the stock ROM. However, now when I flash custom ROMs, I get a boot loop and have to restore back to the rooted version of stock. I've tried Invisiblek's CM10 again, Bean's... oh, and my CWM background is missing and is just black. I've also noticed(not sure if this could be why) that when I go to the mount section under CWM, both system and data keep defaulting to unmounted. Any suggestions?
Have you been using ezrecovery to flash recoveries before flashing ROMs??

Hi, I want to switch from CWM to TWRP.
I tried flashing TWRP on SGH-T989 before but I started from unrooting my phone then root it (just flashed TWRP instead of CWM and flash SuperSU)
I would like to know if I can just flash TWRP using ODIN on this phone if I'm currently using CWM 5.0.x.x?
Please let me know.
Thank you

You dont flash anything. You open goo manager hit menu and press "install open recovery script" it will open up directly to the right file for skyrocket recovery and then download and automatically install. Simple
But before you do anything now on.. Read this thread about how to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622917 so you dont do something bad.

Hi, my bad I just used the wrong word. I did exactly what you said above but goomanager just keep force closing / just stuck there and nothing happened. That's why I flashed it on Odin with my SGH-T989 because the same thing happened.
Is there any other easy methods?

If there's a tar file for twrp sure, make sure it's the right file.
I don't know what Rom you're on or what you're doing, but I know the open recovery install works and its very easy to do.

I have been running TWRP recovery a good while now and have never experienced this problem that I am right now. Whenever I try to flash any, and i mean ANY zip it says "Simulating actions" and then it says that it has completed flashing when it actually didn't even flash. And not only zips, it cant perform any task such as wiping data, fixing permissions, etc, etc. It's very unusual and I have tried flashing CWM and reflashing TWRP 2.6.0.0 with no luck. And now im stuck with CWM which i do not like. Could anyone please help?
I stayed with 2.5.0.0 and haven't had problems.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
If i remember right there was a check box in the settings of twrp that said to simulate flash perhaps that is somehow checked and is checked by default in 2.6
I liked twrp when i was using it on my droid inc but a rom i wanted to try said not to use it and to use cwm so i got the cwm touch for my phones and that is what i have been using ever since perhaps ill switch back
