Running CWM and TWRP - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I was running CWM Recovery and just flashed VRBMF1 using TWRP. I still see the CWM fplder and ROM Manager does too. Can I just delete the CWM folder? I cannot boot to CWM Recovery...
I also just noticed that the Baseband version still showing VRBMB1...Build version however correctly shows VRBMF1

If you don't have any backups in that folder and TWRP is working correctly then go ahead and delete it. Not sure about the second issue though, sorry

Thanks..

Cant make a nandroid in recovery

Yesterday I rooted my 8013 note with UEALGB software and tried to make a nandroid in high on android cwm. It would reboot recovery everytime i started the backup process. So i flashed TWRP through goo manager app then tried to make a nandroid and the same thing would happen. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: I just tried to flash the stock recovery and it seems like I am stuck with cwm or twrp. I flashed stock recovery through Odin and it said it was successful but when I reboot into recovery I still have custom recovery.
Edit: Seems to only happen when I try to backup the system partition.

I get the same problem, my device will reboot about a third of the way through the backup on both cwm and twrp.

What method did you use to root your Note 10.1?

Zeodmaxs root without recovery first then I went back and flashed high on android cwm through Odin later in the night because I wanted to start playing around with stuff.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
The root injected image causes problems. I think you're gonna have to ODIN the original image back on it to fix it. Search around, it's here somewhere.
Go for method #2 next time. Roots without an issue.
Did you flash the the Superuser.zip file after flashing Zedomaxs cwm.tar fie in odin? This is needed to get true root priveleges.
Not sure why you can't reflash a stock rom though, that's how I've always gotten rid of root access to revert back to stock...

I didn't flash the superuser.zip. I have root while in android though. I will try to flash it and see if that helps.

Edgehood tw ROM help

I have been following the ROM for awhile and tried to flash 1.1 last night. (Now I see 2 is coming so I will wait). My question is I have only flashed beans and aokp. Beans had the aroma install like version 2 of this ROM will have which I simply install from clock work. Do you install 1.1 that way as well or do you flash from Odin? I tried to install from zip using clockwork but it just reboots to stock. Thanks for the help
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Install 1.1 from recovery. NOT Odin. Be sure to wipe data beforehand in cwm or twrp.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Sorry I'm noobish...but used clockwork wiping all cache ect...then installed zip from external card. It says installing update then I reboot. It installs faster than normal. On reboot it just seems so stock. Maybe I'm just retarded and it installed fine. Anyway to tell in settings?

CWM Recovery?

Does anyone by chance have the MD5 file of the most recent CWM?
I've heard and seen tons of people linking to the site imnuts for it, but every time I go there, the site seems to of either been removed or changed for one of those quickly made search query sites...
Also, does anyone know if the Recovery will work on the lastest FP8A update? I was using a recovery from August and it's not going through for some reason... I figure something to do with how ODIN is signing the update on the device or something...
You have to flash it with auto reboot off and then boot straight into cwm and root. Then you can delete the file that overwrites cwm and flash cwm again.

You can get the 0302 version of CWM here. It's is what I installed on my phone just yesterday.

I also dropped my copy of Odin in as well. Everything worked as it should - EP4, FP1, FP5 and FP8.
Be careful restoring backups with that version though. By that I just mean it doesn't like to restore your nandroids. The Orange Text Version seems to work well for restoring though.

Yep. I stick with TiBu for backups.

It is /system/etc/install_recovery.sh
Also the blue text cwm cant restore nandroids on RFS. On ext4 it will work fine.

Well, I never knew that about CWM. Never understood what the mounts were for. I thought they were to mount it on the phone. Now I see you can use them to edit your phone via PC. Yay for learning!

[REF] List of Custom Recoveries (3-08-14)

Custom Recoveries​
This is the most recent list of recoveries for the SCH-i535 Verizon galaxy S3. I will be keeping this up to date to make it easier to find the most recent recoveries for our device.
Installation
CWM and TWRP are .img files and are easiest to install from EZ Recovery or Flashify apps from the play store.
​EZ-Recovery
​Flashify
Philz is installed by either using odin to flash the .tar.md5 file or by flashing the zip in recovery.
Safestrap is installed through an application.
I don't hold any responsibility of what happens to your phone due to flashing these.
Clockworkmod Recovery
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
Clockworkmod Touch Recovery
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
TWRP Recovery
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.0 - 10-21-13
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.1 - 11-24-13
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0 - 3-08-14
Philz Touch Recovery
Advanced CWM Recovery
Philz Touch Recovery 5 - v. 5.15.0 - CWM 6.0.3.7 - 10-21-13
Philz Touch Recovery 6 - v. 6.15.4 - CWM 6.0.4.7 - 2-13-14
Safestrap Recovery
Only use on VRUCML1 base! Modified TWRP with sdcard partitioning ability for custom roms on locked bootloaders.
Safestrap Recovery - TWRP 2.6.3.1 - 1-10-14
Updating the Update-Binary
If you receive a status 7 error when flashing a zip in recovery, pull the update binary from the latest CM nightly. This should be resolved in Philz Recovery as it automatically works around it, but may throw errors in the latest CWM recovery.
Here's how to replace the file:
Unzip the folder
Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android
Replace the older update-binary with the newer one
rezip
This will allow files to flash on the newer recoveries until all developers update the binary on their own zips, or a fix is in place.
I want to thank @andybones for giving me this idea, and giving me permission to make an updated thread.
I also want to thank all the developers of these great recoveries.
I don't always have time to check and see when these are updated, so if someone could reply to this thread or PM me when there's an update that would be great. I'll provide a link for it and update the thread.
Thank you ever since i flashed an aosp rom and created that stupid 0/ folder i javent been able to flash a new recovery. Stuck on TWRP 2.6.0.0 for months

I used flashify to upgrade my recovery from TWRP 2.5.0 to 2.6.3 just fine.
Sent from my Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy SIII, via Tapatalk.
Flashify works fine, I just recommend ez recovery because the interface is very simple and it's made for flashing recoveries only.
It's also made for this specific phone model only and it flashes recoveries more reliably and without any hiccups that I've seen with other recovery apps. I think it's very well made despite it being over a year old.

For some reason when I've used ez recovery, it didn't change my recovery version.

Sometimes it does that, I usually flash from my internal card and that fixes the problem, try moving the file and try again.
You can tell it was successful because it takes a second to flash, if it doesn't work the notification flash successful will come up instantaneously.

It doesn't even show up from the internal SD card when I'm in recovery. I've tried using ez and flashify and both say the same thing but same results. I've even tried downloading it from the website and it won't even download the img file

Some browsers don't download the file properly, I use Chrome and it works. You should be able to move it to your internal SD card, find it by hitting the ellipses next to custom, and flash it.
If you still can't do it, there's a tar file on their website that you can use to ODIN flash.

Prolly just do it that way. Will it erase my ROM and all that or will it be safe? Haven't ever reflashed a recovery after being rooted

Does anybody know of a recovery that will work with a new Verizon GS3? I just got an insurance replacement that is brand new. I can't find a recovery that will mount the internal or external SD card. I was able to root, unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery but neither TWRP or CWM will mount the SD cards (or any partitions that I can tell).
It sounds like the guys with the Sprint GS3 have figured it out and I'm wondering if anybody has a modified recovery for the Verizon GS3. Here's the Sprint forum about this issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616

How did you get this to work? I manually dropped the file on the sdcard, installed and got an error. I then installed it using the superADB tool. went to install in TWRP, selected the file and confirmed the flash. error? Feels like I'm missing a step.

I just popped out my sdcard, put it into my laptop, copied the file onto the root directory, put it back into the phone, it booted intor TWRP and flashed the file. Maybe you got a bad download?
