so i have always used cwm on my devices, and i love cwm, but sometimes there is only a limited amount of custom recoverys for my devices such as my g1 that the guide i followed gave me amon-ra instead which i thought was terrible, i dont think i have tried twrp yet, is there like partition differences? more options between each?

I just switched to TWRP from CWM and it's much better. I would highly recommend TWRP.

When you switched from CWM to TWRP did you lose any CWM backups you might have had on your device?

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that is touch based. So instead of constantly clicking buttons like in CWM you can just just do a full wipe with one swipe, if you only want to wipe certain partitions you can with advanced wipe. Also it also allows you to flash as many as 10 zips at a time. i recommend this to any user and i use it for My Galaxy Nexus, and Galaxy SIII. easiest way to get it is via Goo.im app you can get it via the Play Store.

Agree with that, during the past 2 years i had over 6 android phones and CWM supported all of them

I've used CWM versions that are touch based too. For old phones it is hard to find TWRP that supports them.

On my HOX I have TWRP installed. What is the difference between CWM and TWRP? Don't they do the same thing?
Most importantly, will CWM mods work with TWRP? (like the .zip ones) Also, what about de-odexing?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm new to android modding.
Cwm is buggy. You can use twrp for everything and it's fine.

Alright so there are no downsides to using TWRP right? On this forum all I see is CWM on every thread

CWM is the most common recovery, cause its the oldest and most known. But, you can also tell its the oldest, as the UI is... Ugly, compared to TWRP. The "slide to confirm" function on TWRP is really nice IMO.
But yeah, when they say "CWM", they just mean a custom recovery.
Also, TWRP is officially supported on our devices, which is why its recommended above CWM.

It's not 100% bug free but it is much more stable than cwm.
^That, and the TWRP tries to fix the bugs as they are presented.

Good to note too that CWM nandroids are not restorable in TWRP. So all previous backups from CWM are useless once you change.

I started out using CWM but switched because I use CleanRom and Scott suggested using TWRP. I just loaded it by downloading GooManager from google play and then following the install instructions. Worked fine for me...

You can just install TWRP right on top of CWM using a flashable TWRP zip, Goo Manager, or through fastboot.

Another point, the version of cwn for the HOX is an unofficial port and thus not supported. There is an official version of twrp for the HOX, which is reason enough to switch.

CWM was never officially released for our phone. It was a port from another version and isn't perfect. My experience with twrp has not shown me a single problem or even a hiccup.

Just like the title says, whats the best Recovery for GS3? Is it CWM Touch 5.8.4.9, CWM 6.0.1.0 or TWRP 2.2.0?
The most current version for clockwork is 6.0.1.2--there's a non-touch and touch version.
Personally, I prefer the Clockwork touch recovery.

Ok so CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 is your choice, have you tried TWRP 2.2.2.0? I like TWRP but want to know if its stable enough just like CWM Touch 6?
cwm 6.0.1 works on everything for this device.

Maybe I haven't searched around enough.. But I'm still kinda confused on why I can't see my external sd card
I reformatted mine to fat32..So for now I'm moving files between internal and external to flash
Was kinda hoping a different recovery would fix that =/
CWM 6.0.1.0 regular version (not the touch version) works perfectly for me (& I've done more than one full restore with it) so I have no reason to even try anything else at this point.

I have tried TWRP and I kept having difficulty flashing from the external sd card so I tried CWM touch and haven't had any problems. A lot of people have said TWRP is fully functional though, so I'm not sure what my issue was.
cwm 6.0.1-whatever version is latest. Hasnt given me any issues so far!
Running latest twrp here and loving it. Best recovery imo

Possible it was the internal card that wouldn't work--I really don't remember
I have been flashing (roms) for a while now devices including G2, HTC Hero, HTC Thunderbolt, Moto Razr, and now Galaxy S3. I don't typically post questions on any forums because I usually can find an answer with enough searching, it pains me to write this.
Problem: I can only flash certain roms on my Verizon SGS3.
I have no problem flashing unofficial aokp, unofficial cm10, and Synergy.
When I try to install different roms from xda and other websites i get the attached photo. These roms include paranoid android, miui, liquids jelly bean, and a few others.
My device is rooted, unlocked bootloader through ez unlock, running clockworkmod (touch) v5.8.4.5 via ez recovery.
Before I flash I always:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
format system
wipe dalvik cache
Re-downloading has not fixed the issue. I'm sure im missing something simple any help would be warmly welcomed!
Thanks in advance all!

The problem is your running the wrong cwm recovery. 5 . something version causes problems with jb rom's. Surprising you got cm10 to run. Download cwm rom manager and install cwm touch 6.0.1.2 touch from in that application. EZ recovery does not offer that version of touch, but it does offer that version of regular. I don't see all the hype about ez recovery. That's definitely your issue.

Bingo!! Wrong version of CMW, just download e-z flasher from the play store and use it to flash either TWP or CMW. Easy peasy quick and easy.
I suggest you use twrp.
Twrp has bugs with jb rom's. Cwm regular or touch 6.0.1.2 is the most stable safe way to go. If your unsure at all, use cwm. Twrp on our devices at this time is NOT as stable as cwm, but does work effectively. If you use twrp, don't be surprised if you get a poor flash here and there.

what is the diffrence between twrp and clockworkmod? ever since i started rooting and flashing all ive known is clockworkmod....but it wont work with some of my apps like rom toolbox to flash roms....its telling me to use twrp......whats the diffrence though? i tried twrp touch once and it bricked my phone......so what is the diffrence? which one is better? should i get it? is there any risk on roms not being flashable with twrp? if so can i get the latest link and how to? i realize these might all be opinions but would really like to hear what you all have to say...thanks
I've never used an app to flash a Rom. I prefer to go to recovery myself, so I know what gets wiped. I've tried twrp a couple times before, but my phone didn't play nice with it, and it would refuse to boot, telling me there was no recovery or boot img loaded.

Flash it thru fastboot or use the app "flash image gui" it is a paid app on the market, but has also been offered here on xda by the dev for free. I haven't used the app in awhile, but it worked for me back on ics when I used it last.
If you use fastboot it's fastboot flash recovery recovery.img just make sure to use the actual recovery img file name instead of "recovery.img" at the end

Use this guide
I use twrp and have for months. If your phone got bricked you probably did something wrong. Most likely flashed the wrong image. Use the goomanager app from the market to install the twrp. Open the app press menu and select install open recovery script option. Works like a charm.

They are just both recoveries that you can use on your device. TWRP is based on the stock recovery and is all touch compatible whereas ClockWorkMod or CWM for short is a recovery where it does all the same features but some features of it are not available whereas in TWRP they are and vise versa. I use TWRP and I personally think that it is better than CWM any day. Yes like you I started of knowing only what CWM is but then I researched and found TWRP. I used TWRP ever since.
Although there are some disadvantages and Advantages of the both.
ClockworkMod:
The Advantages of CWM is that the backups are all in a way "linked" together. This means if you have the app swype for example and you backed that rom up that has Swype, and then made another backup of another ROM but with the same app Swype CWM recognizes that and uses the apk from the previous backup on the new one. So according to me it makes the backup faster.
Also there is a feature which is Fixing Permissions. TWRP has Fixing Permissions but it is not really that well made. With the Fixing Permissions it lets you fix apps that stop or like crash when you try and launch them. That helps when you flash a custom ROM and when you boot you get all these errors like "YouTube has stopped".
TWRP:
The advantages of TWRP is that it is all touch compatible and all "open source" in a way. I'm not sure about CWM but in TWRP you can customize it very easily if you know XML, with CWM I don't know. With TWRP it uses less data or memory on your SD card so it saves space on your internal storage which is a bonus.
Anything else I find about the advantages about the 2 I will post here in this post.

Curious noob here.
Could anyone tell me what is the difference between recoveries (specifically CWM and TWRP). I am asking this because on the recent thread for Paranoid Android it requests TWRP. I just want to know, what is the difference between the two? Also can I install PA3 on my TF300T with CWM?
Thanks!
I've seen many users here on XDA suggest TWRP over CWM for this particular device, myself included. I couldn't do any backups with CWM but with TWRP I've had no issues.
Although both generally achieve the same thing, they have much different interfaces in which you achieve them (TWRP is all touch based, and CWM you scroll with the volume keys and select with the power key). They also run backups in different formats so you couldn't restore a CWM backup in TWRP or vice versa.
