[Q] CWM Recovery vs stock recovery - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

after I flash CWM 6.0.1.2, if I reboot into recovery, the phone goes into Android system recovery. Why is that?
In order to go back to CWM Recovery, I have to go to ROM Manager, flash CWM 6.0.1.2 again, and then reboot into recovery. Once I am in CWM and need to exit (reboot), I get asked the following:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
Yes - Disable recovery flash.
Should I click yes so the phone does not go into Android system recovery? there is a message that says this cannot be undone so I do not want to do something that may screw up my phone.
I am on stock but rooted, of course. Thanks.

Same thing happens to me. Even if I use twrp or cwm touch

Have you clicked yes to disable the stock recovery?

Anyone?

Yes. It'll work fine. The NVFlash recovery is there for when things go all wrong. "Reboot Recovery" with ROM Manager works fine for flashing ROM's and Kernels.

[Q] Where did all my CWM optios go?

I know I'm probably just not doing something right but after I completely restored my infuse to factory and rerooted it, I'm trying to restore my backup I made from CWM and it seems all my options are missing from CWM when I boot into recovery mode. My options used to be gree and I had lots of options... one in particular was "restore and backup". So I can not restore from my backup now. Here is a pic of what my restore screen looks like. How do I fix this? Thanks!
Hit reinstall packages. You should have to do this twice

oh yea thats right... correct me if im wrong, don't I just take the file and place it on my sdcrd, boot into recover and install the zip?
First, you have to replace the stock 3e recovery with a modified version (disables signature checking). It's the "recovery" file in /system/bin. You do not use the recovery interface to install it. From there, you can flash your unsigned zips.
Alternatively, you can just flash an image using Odin.

Looks like you're having issues getting into the recovery. That screen isn't the recovery, and I've had it before.
A lot of times, when you root on a stock rom, the phone deletes clockwork and restores the old recovery. That might be why you're having issues with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
The second post on this thread describes how to make clockwork stick. You might need to make use of some adb commands OR get an app like Root Explorer.
1. Flash the recovery
2. Follow the instructions in the second post before rebooting your phone.
That should do it.

Actually it is. That's the stock recovery, but it's options are too limited which is why we use CWM.
Rest of your instructions should help the OP out though, good on that.

Just flash clockwork again and flash a non stock rom, or remove the file as described if u wanna stay stock.
Ya I think it was just freezing up got into recovery and installed new rom
I do thank everyone help

[Q] Multiple Recoveries?

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.
