Nah, not a fan of Touch Recovery as it's a little risky!

not sure if it's risky, but i get put off by errors messages, esp. if they can't be solved. although backup & restore worked fine, this one prevented me from installing a new/diff. rom. so, it's back to cwm v6.0.2.8 for now......

TWRP or CWM?
Which of the two would you recommend for CM12? Thanks for your hard work . Sorry for my English.

You can use any of them. Both are fully functional. I prefer TWRP because it makes smaller in size backups, it is a touch recovery also

TWRP fixes randoms reboots
I had random reboots when I had the CWM recovery 6.0.5.1. , but I installed the TWRP recovery and the problem has been fixed (with CM12) :victory: Sorry for my English.

I never had random reboots on CM12 either with CWM or with TWRP

TWRP on the GT-S7275R?
Hey i found this guide for installing CWR on the GT-S7275 and thought it should be the same to install TWRP. Is this the Problem or that i have the GT-S7275R with the "R" ?
Is there a way to install TWRP on it to flash your CM12 ROM?

So i should try the cwm? Some other guys had similar problems: After step 10 i wanted to boot to recovery but after a few seconds of the recovery loading screen (blue text) it booted to normal android.

Uninstalling CWM, getting this version of TWRP
I'm trying to get CM 12 on a friends phone but I can't get the recovery to work,
This is what I did:
1. Installed CWM through ODIN v3.07 (going into download mode and stuff)
2. It worked! I went into recovery mode and started wiping everything, but I got an error when wiping the cache partition
3. The phone rebooted.
3. Went to ODIN again, downloaded TWRP but after installing it (which I did correctly according to ODIN v3.07) the recovery didn't change and it's still that buggy build of CWM that won't let me install CM 12 on the device.
4. I though I could force install the recovery using a .img I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/ace-...3-lte-t2989278 but I really don't know how, any thoughts?
This is the buggy CWM copy I used and I want to remove: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2548856
Thanks!

hi there - i've tried both CWM (recovery-6.0.5.1.tar.md5) and twrp-2.8.7.0.tar.md5 but is still unable to install the cm-12.1-20150821-UNOFFICIAL-loganreltexx.zip.
I've downloaded the cm files a few times and have even formatted the sdcard yet receive this error message:
E:Cant open /storage/sdcard1/cm-12.1-20150821-UNOFFICIAL-loganreltexx.zip (Bad)
Installation aborted.
Appreciate advice on what I have done wrong or not done? Tks!

Proposals
Hello Kotzir,
First of all, thank you for your great job !
Install via ODIN, already known method, like CWM
On this thread, it would be helpful to add a link to the latest version of Odin, or otherwise a link to this page :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548856
And to precise how to enter the download mode :
1. Go to download mode on the device : when the phone is off, press "Home+ Volume DOWN + Power"
And, to be complete :
6. And when the phone is automatically rebooting, press "Home+ Volume UP + Power" to enter in the recovery mode.
Elsewhere the TWRP recovery will be erased by the stock ROM, and it would be to be redone...
Thanks !

a) Download the attached recovery.img file and put it into the root of your internal sdcard.
b) Open terminal emulator and type following:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

disconnect the usb after the download is complete n the phone is rebooting. then before the phone boots up take out the battery. then go into recovery. you'll find insecure red recovery. then flash your root.zip

Is your phone rooted? dd won't work on an unrooted phone. Make sure you flash the IMG file. n If you still have problem try Flashify to flash recovery. Flashify also needs ROOT.

I don't think that is the case. I really never had that kind of issue! It worked fine. Are you reflashing stock recovery while pressing "reboot" in recovery? if prompted try to say "No".

Same error
I followed all steps in post #2 but I am getting same error E:Signature verification failed.
How to resolve this?

root
I see that there is not updates for 8 months.
I have JB and as far as I know, the root method worked well with previous version (ICS)
is it correct?
I think installing CWM is possible, but i suppose i need a rooted ROM. am i right?
Is there anyone with a rooted galaxy chat with Jelly Bean?
BTW main thread is quite confuse
Thanks
