I'm using CWM.

Do you flash the recovery by zip or by fastboot?

Then you installed two Recovery's at once?
Uninstall philz using the bat tool, the install the ROM using the cwm.

I installed CWM, but it's only be able for use recovery one or two times, because it's causes bootloop, and then you have to flash the stock kernel. When I have restored the stock kernel, I install philz recovery, but as I say before this is not working for me..

Ah, I understand, then PhilZ not working ,but CWM yes.. Weird.
Can you try flashing the zip from Philz using the CWM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/d2303-philz-touch-recovery-6-t3047492

I tried with CWM 5 on stock ROM. Rest, I don't tried.

I have both TWRP and CWM recovery on S3, how to remove one of them?

I have 2 Recovery on my S3 and I don't know how that happen, I thought when you flash a recovery it would replace the existing one, this is the first time I see 2 Recovery on an Android phone.
I rooted my S3 using CASUAL 1-click method, is it possible that CASUAL flashed 2 recoveries? Anyway, I can use ROM Manager to switch the default recovery but I would really to have just 1 Recovery on the phone. How dow I remove one of them?
Thanks
You don't have 2. Its impossible. When you tell it to reboot to recovery, which none comes up?

That is what I thought, maybe I have the wrong intepretation of this ROM Manager tool then. In the attached screenshot it says I have both CWM and TWAP already installed... What does it actually mean?
BTW, as of what recovery comes up when I reboot it to recovery, it depends on what I default it to in ROM Manager.
My guess would be that you have TWRP as the actual recovery, but also have the CWM app installed. If so, uninstall it. I would also download goo manager and have it install the latest TWRP

It depends on which recovery it's set as default before I uninstall ROM Manager. If it's set to twrp before I uninstall the app, it would boot to twrp and vice versa.

Rom manager uses CWM as its default, uninstall Rom manager and problem solved

The ROM manager is overwriting the recovery when you tell it to reboot into recovery. That's why you can boot to which ever one you want. You definitely don't have 2 different recoveries on you recovery partition. Hope that makes sense.

I am also having this exact same issue on an HTC ONE
I have removed ROM Manager but still boots into CWM and I need Twrp for latest Venom Rom
I have installed GooManager abd it asks if I want to install the open recovery script, does the 10 second count down, and then goes back to main screen, does not do anything else
When I looked in ROM Manager it did state Twrp was the recovery but stil booted in to CWM - now I have removed ROM Manager I cant check :/
I have also just checked for CWM APP, and that is NOT installed
Can anyone help please - thanks

Head to your phone's respective forum (carrier or international) and post a question in the Q/A section. You have a popular device so someone undoubtedly will help you there and provide you whatever file you may need.

Rom Manager is not saying you have both installed. That is a configuration screen. It is saying, do you want to install CWM OR do you have CWM or TWRP already installed?

You do know that you can flash CM11 in TWRP so long as you have TWRP 2.6.3.1, right?

Now I can install the CM11 with TWRP 2.6.3.3 but with 2.6.3.2 but simply failed. Thank you!
Anyway, why is it so hard to uninstall TWRP?

The Verizon S3 does not have TWRP 2.6.3.2 (or 2.6.3.3), which device are you on? The way to uninstall TWRP is to install the latest CWM via Rom Manager or by downloading the img and flashing it in something like Flashify.

CWM v6.0.4.5

So I'm running CWM 6.0.4.5 and was playing with 4.4 Roms but every time I try to flash a 4.3 or 4.2 I get am error (I think it was status 7) I thought CWM could flash any Android version. Or does CWM have the same issue TWRP has?

For KitKat, you will need to use this version of CWM:

Is that the custom CWM or the regular one? I can't imagine why the regular one won't, but I don't really keep up with CWM.

I got it from @lj50036 but cant find the link he gave so I'm not sure....
And I can't restore my factory back up, it just boots to the Asus logo and sticks. But I can reinstall 4.4 roms and they work fine and I can restore them as backups.

I tried the old CWM and TWRP 2.5.0.0 but haven't been able to mount any storage again... but I reflashed that recovery and can mount things. I'm just going to stick with the CM 11 nightlys they seam stable enough.

[Q] How to update nightly update of CyanogenMod without losing any files?

I want to update the latest CyanogenMod NIGHTLY update without losing any files. How can I do this?
Should I just flash the NIGHTLY update zip and then clean system cache and dalvik cache?
Please tell me the correct procedure.

1. Flash cm11-xxxxxxxx-NIGHTLY-taoshan.zip via recovery

If you use the CM Updater from Settings -> about phone -> CyanogenMod updates it will all be done for you. Just follow instructions.

Are you using a custom kernel like ThunderZap/Phantom? Because you have to reflash it every rime you update. You can best use CyanDelta for it instead of CM updater.

No, make sure to flash Phantom after you installed the update. CyanDelta has a option to do it automatically.

I tried the CM updater and then flashed Phantom kernel, then I got a dialog box on the boot saying
"Android is upgrading
Finishing Boot"
and it is stuck here.
Then I tried installing from recovery using these steps
1. Delete Cache/Dalvik Cache
2. Install from ZIP
3. Delete Cache/Dalvik Cache
Now I got the same message that "Finishing boot"
I waited on this screen for more than 30 mins still nothing happened, so I removed the battery and I got bootloop.
Finally I had to restore my old NIGHTLY update
What is happening??
please help me

You can ask the dev if he/she can compile a version with the Sony logo & CWM. Other than that, there's no solution.

When the phone is off, turn it on and when it turns the LED on press both volume down and volume up buttons repeatedly until the LED changes the color to purple (or a different color). Then it will enter to recovery.
