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 have backups that I made using CWM, as well as backups made using TWRP, + these ALL work..........and I have used the kexec temp CWM from the CM Team w/ good results as well...............yes we all have our preferences as to which recovery to use + why, but *this* Recovery Restore is now indispensable to me going forward............... + it's just awesome having the option to switch our recovery direct from TWRP.

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

I had the same issue - I think it's something to do with the boot.img not updating when the rom is flashed.
I fixed it by extracting the boot.img from the rom zip and then flashing the boot.img in fastboot then flashing the rom - I also flashed the apps/mods pack after.
lol i just flashed the boot.img through fastboot, and it worked. do i miss out on anything by doing this ie anything in the folders inside the zip i should be flashing also?

sweet as - glad it worked for you as well...
I don't think so - do you mean inside the rom zip??? The rest of that should install with the rom just for some reason the boot.img isn't flashing for some of us.
Maybe to do with our hboot version
yeh i'm thinking i'll re-flash via recovery see if i've missed something. Whats in the apps/mods pack?
apps/mods allows you add/remove apps and there's a few mods like multi-tasking, HQ camera to name a few.
cheers for the help mate, i like the wizard they have put into it makes choosing what to install a breeze... thanks coming your way

This is a stock non rooted nandroid for Android 4.3 from the Google Edition. I will not be supplying a flashable zip as I don't have the time so either wait for someone to release a flashable zip. I'm posting this so other devs can start working on their custom stuff
TWRP Back up (system & boot): https://mega.co.nz/#!aAIgULQK!IJxicTh5qWC8csn3uwY2GmjgAelXttxn5cJNrd2sFpg
(this needs to be unzipped into the same folder on your sd card where your backups are)
CWRM Image Back up (system & boot): https://mega.co.nz/#!KAQDHRBD!VkaAAGPQa1VyLEG2k6qH8Hn1E9N7dN8FGlQ9i-HbpxE
(this can be flashed in CWM it will not flash in TWRP)
Radio (Flashable Zip): https://mega.co.nz/#!HdwxkQqC!TgSeIFmErtLL8iJkpzdR5ThAPn8S0U5BmoEZKrJ_87w
Firmware: This contains radio, Recovery, Hboot and all the other firmware for 4.3 This is not flashable and must be flashed in fastboot RUU mode https://mega.co.nz/#!6M5nCRLD!fAUWUAXWv1Sl-7HAcycrR3oxBQ0_5co3s2N5OCUt-n8
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
4.3 full conversion RUUs now available in both pre rooted and stock non-rooted versions.

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.

If he's still on the stock rom, he'll receive an OTA notification on his phone. So long as he hasn't removed any system apps or installed any systemUI mods then it will update just fine even with a custom recovery installed.
He removed a couple of system apps but is on the stock ROM with no UI changes.
he has time to worry about it later. nothing is going to happen on friday.
does he have a nand of the stock system? if so tell him to restore it before updating to be safe
Yeah that's what I thought but better safe than sorry. No NAND of stock as far as I know.
OK there is thread out there just has rooted stock ROMs you can flash in recovery without a data wipe. I can't seem to find the thread for some reason but I have the file. If you wait till tomorrow I can upload it and share it. Or maybe u can find the thread. Or if all he removed was Verizon apps he could try a flashable zip to restore VZW apps.

No bootloader is fine but that file needs to flashed in Odin. If you want use mobile Odin. Its what use and it's easier IMO. just make sure which ever version of Odin you use that you have plenty if charge ( over 70%)

OK. Because you do NOT want to get that term mixed up and you do not want to flash a flushable zip using odim. Very bad idea. Odin uses tar files which sometimes comes zipped up (not flashable via recovery)
