Koushik Dutta's Clockwork Recovery:
Attention: Some people experience problems when flashing through Rom Manager. Flashing again usually fixes the issue. Use method below for best results. If on pure stock, your recovery will be overwritten unless you delete your /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
To flash recovery for Nexus S 4G, download recovery 5.0.2.0 or recovery touch 5.8.0.2 and place it into your sdk tools folder. Reboot into bootloader and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo4g.img
or if you prefer the touch version:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img
If you'd like simpler and more organized menus see j_r0dd's mod.
rev 5.0.1.0 Fix android_ secure backup bug.
rev 5.0.2.0 Fix root loss. Correct message when choosing "no" when wiping dalvik.

I had some issues doing it through rom manager. It was a no go so I flashed through bootloader.
I haven't checked if old backups are compatible yet. Anyone care to try and post?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Every time I click on the update from inside ROM Manager, something terrible happens. I used think it was because I clicked on the link for the other Nexus S, but I was super duper careful this time.
If I try to reboot into recovery without being attached to my PC after flashing a new recovery in ROM Manager, I get stuck in fastboot. If I tell it to please boot me into recovery so can add a shiny new object to my Android, it tells me, "No ma'am." And, if im being honest, when I can't flash exciting new thingys on the go, existence begins to seem somewhat more futile. I'm sure you understand.
Might as well ask if there's a way I can fix it before I get home (in TEN HOURS) by fastbooting from a terminal or something. Okay, I'm begging.
p.s. I feel like I didn't get invited to most of Version 3 and all of Version 4.

Read the op. There is a reason why I gave instructions to flash through fastboot and not rom manager.

I can confirm they do work.
Trying to upgrade from 4.0.0.2 to 5.0.0.0, I keep getting stuck on "Waiting for device"..
If on windows...your driver is bad.
Try flash_image gui by Joeykrim
Well here is the thing, I can push/pull things from the device, I can adb shell to the device.. Everytime I try flash the recovery, I get the waiting for device
Well if on Windows, fastboot driver needs to be there along with adb.driver. Two different things
Didnt work through rom manager, had to do it via fastboot. I dig the new color!
so rom manager updated my cwm to this one and when i go to reboot into recovery it goes into bootloader and which i chose recovery nothing happens .... first line says FASTBOOT - NO RECOVERY OR BOOT IMG
For anybody having flashing/ pushing/ just getting the new cwm recovery use the flash_image by GUI app located in the ns4g app section. I can't stress it enough, but it your trying to computer up to speed for Android development I understand.

I updated through ROM Manager and it worked just fine. I believe as long as you are running the latest version of ROM Manager you shouldn't have any issues.

The first option in RM is to flash a recovery. Upon pressing that you are given a list of phones. Scroll down to the Samsung GS3 and choose it. It will then flash the recovery within RM.

Hey my md5 checksum has a mismatch, but I know the files are fine. is there a terminal command to recompile the md5 for a given image?
Also I noticed the new version of CWM has teh option to backup files as TAR, wouldn't that be better since Odin flashes Tar? If you couldn't get into CWM for some reason you can just flash for Odin?
Forgive me if I'm being newb here had my phone for three days after a motorola bravo
Hi,
I just rooted my SIII and than installed CWM Touch Recovery and works fine

Thanks.

This thread found right below my post will be of the most importance to you involving your current situation with your recovery. If you go to the CWM team website, I have linked here and browse the list of phones you'll find that the touch recovery for the AT&T variant is at 6.0.1.4. Just right click on the version number, (Don't left click as it will come up with a page full of random symbols.) and press save as and save it to the desktop. This is the bare .img file. It will have the full file name but before saving it rename it to; (without quotes) "recovery.img". After that follow the steps in the link below in order to flash it with ADB. (Since the other recommended ways aren't working for you).

ROM manager does not recognize the touch recovery since technically it is still considered experimental. Only the basic volume control recovery is recognized. This goes with saying with the free version of this app installed. I however, am not sure as to whether it recognizes it after upgrading to premium as it is a premium feature of ROM Manager.

Its alright if it isn't recognized by ROM Manager. As I said it is still considered "experimental" so it isn't supported by the app. I have had the premium version installed and it wouldn't let me flash the CWM-T through the app. Only when I used ADB did I get through. Still says nothing is installed. Just a little glitch on the developer's side if anything. Don't stress about it, once you can boot into your recovery your good.

I did a so called "workaround" I installed the regular CWM with the rom manager app than updated to the touch version manually and now the program functions normally
Basically what the topic says, every time I try installing Beta 6 using TWRP, it'll tell me there's no MD5, a warning that there's no "file_context" (if I remember correctly), and then a red "failed" message after 30-50 seconds. Then I'd have to use my backup file I created before flashing the ROM just to reboot the phone.
And just in case someone asks for what phone/ROM I'm using:
Galaxy Nexus (Toro)
Paranoid Android 3.99
Any idea why this is happening?

The easiest way to update TWRP is to go to the play store and installing Goo market (it's a green app the the app image says "Goo") and then from there you can update painlessly with no problem.

Thanks for the replies, however, the twrp goo downloads is 2.7. I need beta .6 TWRP for the rom for my dna to use. See this thread it tells us to use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648446
I tried flashify, but I don't think i am using it correctly.
Hello everybody.
I installed cm11 via cyanogenmod installer. When I was done with installing it, I installed Rom Manager application. The application then offered to install CWM Recovery, so I agreed to do so since I am more accustomed to it than TWRP.
Was working, until I the phone told me I had a new update.
The update downloads, and tries to install, but nothing happens ( or happens wrong so it just aborts), and I am left with the "there is an update for your phone".
So I figured out I might do it manually, so I went to Rom Manager and set TWRP to be default, and went to recovery.... and there was CWM.
I tried GooManager, TWRP Manager, all still reboot into CWM not TWRP.
I then tried CWM and it worked flashing the latest snapshot, but it had a serious bug, so I restored to the previous snapshot. ( Can't how that is relevant to the subject).
I really would like to install the TWRP and remove CWM. My question is: How do I remove CWM and install TWRP.
Thanks.
Just learn fastboot and manually flash TWRP image. If nothing goes wrong, TWRP will overwrite CWM as your only recovery.

I did as u said, but now I can't boot into recovery, and when in fastboot menu, it says I have no boot or recovery image.
But I can load into cm normally.
However what's weird is that it said the product code name was tuna, which is wrong, it should be maguro.
Any thoughts??

Tuna is your phone. Tuna is Toro, Toro+ and maguro.. As said before learn how to use fastboot and flash it via fastboot. Plenty of guides.. Its really easy.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
Yea at this point you may need to use fastboot. If multiple tries of above haven't worked.
As said, it's REALLY easy.
You can use fastboot to clear recovery partition in case something is corrupted in it. And can just do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the path to recovery.img file you are installing. If you are cd'd into folder where recovery.img is located you can just use the name of the img file instead of the full path name to it.... it might sound confusing, but there are step by step fool proof guides to follow. And after you've done it once you'll be like "dang what was I worried about, this fastboot and adb stuff is easy" lol...)
Let us know if you need any clarification on the process
Thanks guys, but I have been really busy lately I couldn't learn fastboot, but I think I know how, since my first root was manual using such a command prompt.

Guys, I spent a long time starting with deodexed 4.1.1 stock, added Xposed module and Blackout theme and swapped in all inverted current apps then reodexed but.....since I changed TWRP above 2.5.0.0 my backup is restoring incomplete. I am sticking with a backup of 4.1.1 because WifiTether works on WiMax but not after 4.1,1 so I want a nandroid that restores fully. Is it because TWRP is full SELinux now?
Sent from my HTC One using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2
If you take the nandroid with the new version you'll probably have better luck. Only other thing I've seen, and granted this was on my s3, but with one of the versions I couldn't restore unless I kept the screen on during the restore. But I've also seen restore fail because of the first item too after upgrading recovery and then trying to restore a backup made with an older recovery
