I have a SGS2 (GT-I9100G) and have it rooted and a custom rom flashed. I'm still slightly confused on the CWM recovery installed. I was under the impression CWM was installed when I rooted it with SuperSU and then loaded a CWM zip. However now I have flashed a new kernel and the CWM recovery has changed. So my question is, is CWM installed in the Kernel? Also can this be upgraded without flashing the kernel? Lastly, I have version 6.0.1.2 however on the CWM website it lists 4.0.1.5 as the latest version!? And CWM Rom manager lists this as installed...
All in all CWM confuses the hell outta me! Any clarification would be much appreciated

Hi.
I'm about to flash my first custom ROM and have a few q's before I do it. Im on a SGS2 rooted with the help of Odin and S2root (like superoneklick I guess). I have flashed CWM recovery via Odin and my kernel is called 2.6.35.7 [email protected] # 12. My build number is XWKI4.
First question is if its safe to flash CM7 with above root and kernel (I know that its never completely "safe" to flash anything but you know what I mean =).
Second question is if I should flash through ROM manager or CWM recovery.
Third question is concerning market and gapps. How do I do to be sure of having at least market when Im on CM7.
Cheers!
I would definitely flash the ROM through recovery, I dont really trust ROM manager for that. Do a full wipe before flash. As for GAPPs, you can flash that through ROM manager.
Hi!
I'm actually Gio user, my friend has Galaxy Fit. And he is asking me some help for installing CM7.
After do some research at devv section. I found this CWM recovery [DEV] Clockworkmod Recovery for GT-S5670.
It's said the recovery doesn't support RFS file system, and won't work at Stock ROM. My friend running GB 2.3.6 Stock ROM.
In Gio there is moded flashable CWM recovery via stock recovery mode, while this one using Odin.
So I'm afraid to brick his device, since this recovery doesn't support RFS system and I could flash wrong file using Odin.
So, I need some advice and detailed step to flash CWM based recovery in stock ROM for installing CM7 for his Fit.
I appreciate all of your effort and time for helping me
That cwm doesn't support backup and restore if rfs (stock)...so after installing that cwm, you need to flash a custom rom (non cyanogen first, preferably)...then you shall be able to use nandroid backups and restore feature...
Backups feature only for custom ext4 roms (all are), not for stock rfs...
Get it?

Good Morning,
After searching all of 100 pages in the post for the Hydro rom I have a question that I didnt find in the thread.Im on latest JB/OTA update for my TF300t and I have flashed the CWM recovery after unlocking my bootloader.Now,I want to install the latest Hydro rom but the developer is suggesting the latest TWRP for the rom.
My question is,will i be able to flash the rom using CWM or do I have to use twrp?If so will i end up with a brick if i side load twrp along cwm?
The only place i didnt check is the youtube video instructions since im on a restricted network...
Anyone?
Im really itchy to flash the new rom I just need to know if i can flash both cwm and twrp or if it is safe with cwm already installed to flash twrp on top of it.

It is an either or situation. There is one recovery partition and you can have stock, cwm, or twrp. You can't have more than recovery installed at a time.
There are a lot of issues being reported with cwm recently. Since the op says twrp I used twrp. It may or may not work with cwm.
Be aware that a backup made with cwm probably won't restore with twrp or the other way around.
Good Luck!
Im looking for the lates cwm recovery for sgs3 i have rom manager but im looking something like 4EXT recovery.thanks.
4EXT recovery is not available for s3. You can try TWRP recovery.
A while ago i rooted my phone and put a custom rom on it, liked it the got sick of it then flashed back to stock . a day or two later i instantly regretted this decision so i reverted back. This was a very drawn out process because my phone was being dumb etc, i initially tried to flash TWRP on it which worked , but it never flashed roms correctly for me , so i flashed CWM on it and that worked. flashed a rom , and it worked. I now want to flash a new rom but when i boot to recovery , TWRP is still there but when i am in Rom manager, it says CWM 6.0.3.1 is installed.
Is there a way to use odin to flash this back to stock and just flash CWM on the so i can get on with my life and flash new roms?
TL;DR
there are 2 recoveries (TWRP and CWM)
TWRP is accessible but doesn't work
need access to CWM
is there odin or a type of software i can use to solve this ?
I know i ****ed up pretty good, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Download GooManager from the Playstore. Then from GooManager run OpenRecoveryScript which will flash the latest TWRP.

I'm pretty sure that GooManager will install only TWRP. I would start there to fix your problem, since GooManager will install the recovery easily. Once you have TWRP you can switch by installing CWM if you'd like. For that, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305721
