Just get Goo Manager from the Market. Go to menu>update recovery script. It will flash over CWM. Takes a minute. Just wait for it to ask if want to boot into recovery.
How to update TWRP to 2.4.4
Would someone please give me the steps to update twrp 2.3.3 to 2.4.4? I only see an .img file to download on the twrp site.

If you mean TWRP 2.4.1, TeamWin recommends you just install via the GooManager app

Yup, download GooManager from Play Store, open GooManager > hit menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript
I apologize for bringing up an older thread, but I figured I'd tag my problem onto an existing thread versus creating my own.
I have a sch1535, and yesterday I got it rooted again after losing root with the Jelly Bean update. I then thought that Liquidsmooth looked like a great first ROM to try out. So, I ran Titanium on all my apps and data, saved my texts, and created a nandroid with CWM. Then I flashed Liquidsmooth, looks cool and seems like a great ROM, but I found I'm one of the few who actually like the stock samsung rom (I know, I know...). So, I went back into recovery only to find that I no longer have CWM, but instead TeamWin. I have no idea when the switch occurred.
I read that I can't use TeamWin with my existing nandroid backup, so how do I switch back from Teamwin to CWM without screwing anything over?

Your easiest bet is to use the EZ Recovery app on the market. You can flash back to CWM using it and your backups will still be there. Aside from a version difference you should still see your backups in CWM.

Yeah or you could download rom manager from the play store its compatible with both twrp and cwm so if you have them both flashed then just switch back to cwm. All your backups are on your internal SD so unless you wiped your storage you're good to go.

I'm currently rooted with everything else stock. I've decided I want to try the Bali Kernel, so I thought the first thing I should do before anything else is a backup. So I downloaded Rom Manager and followed the steps from here.
so when I ran Back Up Current Rom, I got the following. See screen shot. Is there something in that guide that is missing?
Also, someone in a similar thread said to choose Reinstall Packages. I tried that and got this. See screen shot.
you have to press reinstall packages then go to backup and restore and make a backup... and if you get that error you could try replacing the recovery file in system and then trying it again
First thing is to ditch rom manager. It has issues with the sgs4g and will give you a headache and little else. Second go to the development section and find krylons cwm final thread and follow it to the letter.
It looks like you don't have clockworkmod installed and you need this to do what you are trying.

Ok, so I followed the instructions. Replaced the Recovery file and put update.zip on the root of the sdcard. But I still needed Rom Manager to run the back up. Then did the reinstall packages again and this time it went in recovery to do the back up, and it worked.
If I didn't reinstall Rom Manager, how else would I have run a back up. I followed this guide that worked for the sidekick 4g.
you do not need rom manager at all.
do the update and recovery file go to recovery screen reinstall packages then you can goto backup and restore and either back up a rom or restore one

Got it thanks. I noticed the Galaxy S 4G is one of the phones in the Flash recovery list in Rom Manager. So would it be correct to say that the update to Rom Manager to support the SGS4G did not work? Hence, needing to manually install the recovery and update.zip files.
I rooted my S3. I have not unlocked it.
I would like to backup the android operating system, the apps, and the data before I allow the recent OTA update.
Based on my research, I believe I can use titanium to backup everything except the operating system. How do I backup the operating system?
I tried the Volume Up/Power/Home Button restart. It gives me the option to restore but not to backup.
What am I missing??

Thank you for the speedy reply. I did a quick search and found quite a bit written on installing a custom recovery including on the S3.
It appears that I can only back up to a custom ROM such as ClockworkMod Recovery or TWRP Recovery and not the base ROM as it is on the phone now. Is that correct?
I have ROM manager on the phone so I expect the ClockworkMod Recovery would be the way to go.
Nope, CWM and TWRP are custom recoveries. You'll have to install one of those in order to backup. Go onto the app store and search for EZ Recovery. Use that app to install the recoveries(it's the easiest way for someone new). Then you just boot into your recovery and do a backup of your current setup.
Download EZ Recovery and flash CWM then boot into recovery and choose the backup option.

Custom recovery will backup stock rom. You will not be able to install any OTA until untill you Odin back to stock.
Thank you for the replies.
I guess I should have included in the initial post that all I have done is root the phone......I think.
I never unlocked the phone with Ez-Unlocker
I never used Rom-Manager either.
I did install SD Speed Increase and increased the SD cache size from 128kb to 1024 kb.
Thats it.
Does this information change the previous recommendations?
No, just install EZ Recovery and follow the directions listed in one of the guides in the stickies.

Yes, if you have a custom recovery you cannot accept an OTA. The install will fail. You will have to Odin back to stock in order to take the OTA.

Thank you for the input.
There is a lot of information on this topic but its not easy to determine which of it applies to my situation. I feel pretty good about being able to Odin back to stock but I'm not sure I want to take the risk of doing that (probably not much risk) just to get the latest update.
I expect the best thing for me to do is decide to either 1) go ahead and install CM10 (I think that's the one I would want) or 2) go back to stock and stick with the Verizon software. I'd like to get Jelly Bean now, but I'm not sure its worth the risk. We'll see.
Thanks again!
If u use ez recovery and flash back the stock recovery u can then accept the ota just fine. As long as u haven't messed with any system files you are good. Then just re root it once ota is done.

Thanks for the info.
I have installed EZRecovery and it seems pretty straightforward. I'm still trying to decide if I want to go for a Jelly Bean ROM now or just wait.
I'll just keep reading until I'm comfortable that first, Jelly Bean will give me improvements worth the risk, and second, I won't brick the phone.
I have been fooling with computers since the 70s but Android is somewhat different and it will take a while to learn something about the architecture.
Thanks again.

If new I would flash an ICS rom first and get you a stable daily driver setup and backed up. Regardless of what you read all JB builds are buggy to an extent since they are all ports. The advantage of Android is as long as you have a stable Nandroid you can experiment with more advanced ports. Backup IEMI also and be careful jumping back and forth between AOSP and TW based roms. This is where the most problems come up. From what I've seen if flashed AOSP base it is best to Odin back to stock before going back to Touchwiz.

Or Twrp
I prefer twrp as it will allow you to name the backup from within recovery as well as some things cwm doesnt do.

It doesn't matter what CID you're on, If you are running sense, CM, or any other rom. If you are running any other rom besides the Google Edition 4.2.2 rom you will have to perform a factory reset (aka wipe data).
There is going to be nothing maintained in this thread. it's simply for development purposes

Thanks for the zip. Just a quick question though, how exactly is a nandroid different from a cwm zip? From what I've read you flash it just like you would a regular zip, except it deletes all user data and restores it to whatever was there during the nandroid creation?

You don't need to be rooted really. Just flash TWRP and do a back up (just your boot image so it's a quick back up) just so it creates the backup directory structure on your sd card. Boot into android and just put the folder that you unzip from the file in the OP in the same folder /sdcard/0/twrp/backup/HT?????/ folder (you'll see a similar time stamped one that you just made) plop the unzipped folder into there and then reboot back into twrp and restore.
Or you can just flash CWM and then flash that zip like any other zip
Does anyone have the radio.img from the 4.3 dump? Would love to give that a whirl over here in the states, see if anything improves.

Make sure you're on the latest version of TWRP. I believe it ends in ".1".
Otherwise just use CWM instead. You can install that with a free app called Flashify very easily.

then using Casual All in one
Root, Flash Insecure aboot
go to google play download Rom manager then install CWM
or try just download rom manager then install CWM replace TWRP
Problem is I'm still in TWRP recovery, as I've been unsuccessful with flashing any ROM (so far). Do I need to have an operating system installed in order to install CWM?

Bummer....How do I get back to my CWM?
ROM manager seems to be no help. I have installed Recovery Tools but not sure how i need to use it (I see now that recovery tools is not compatible with the Infuse).

I tried flashing a couple of cwm zip files with the TWRP recovery but they failed. I ended up just reflashing another rom and then used the fresh cwm to restore one of the backups I had done.
I am new to this hobby and I have been rooting and flashing several phones and roms. Two S3's, two Infuses, a Captivate and an HTC Inspire and they all have had a few different roms installed. I have soft bricked a few times as well along with a couple of IMEI recoveries too. But, having TWRP show up for the first time was a new suprise and I became more confused when cwm would not flash from TWRP.
Thanks for the response!
