i would rename it to like recovery.img and push/move it to like /sdcard/ (not sure if you need it to be on your external_sd... if so, then /sdcard/external_sd/)
the terminal emulator
"su"
# "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" ( or if in external_sd.... /sdcard/external_sd/recovery.img)
# "reboot recovery"
should reboot into recovery and it should have the new recovery

It's totally different recovery you can either flash it for free manually or buy the app which does it for you. Developers make money for work and time spent premium is still premium. You honestly don't need it unless you want to use it. He also gives out codes for free every once in awhile.

Didn't work for me.

Its not working too well for me. I am going to reflash it. It seems to not be able to mount the sd card a lot. Creating a backup failed once it started backing up /data.
After flashing it again its still not working. Backup has failed every time and its having trouble mounting the sd card and keeping it mounted. I bought it through rom manager so hopefully it gets fixed soon.

@koush deserves every bit of the $2 imho

i tried making it a tar via 7zip, when flashing it with odin, odin does one of those corrupt closes before it can do anything.
i guess i need another compressing program to do this

[Q] Installing Clockworkmod Recovery Help!!!

I picked up a GSII from Sprint yesterday so of course the first thing I'm going to do is root it. I've got root access with Superuser installed but I can't seem to install a custom recovery. I've been looking everywhere for a file to install via Odin 1.85 but it seems EVERY download link I've found has been broken! I'm on EL29 (White GSII) and am extremely frustrated that I can't figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think you may be in the wrong forum
Is your phone the epic touch 4g on Sprint?

Yep. Definitely on Sprint.

Here's a link to Team Rogue's CWM recovery thread:

It's now being updated for ICS roms, but you can scroll down to post #3 for the archive list to find links for Gingerbread kernel / recoveries.

Great, I now have CWM recovery and rogue recovery, but no matter which one I use when I try to da a backup (the reasaon I needed recovery) I gat an "can't mount backup path" message and goes back to menu..
Ok new development, I did a backup from CWM to internal sdcard and that works,, so rogue backup won't work,,

Rogue should work to backup to external SD card; it's where it puts it by default unless you choose to mount the internal card - I did it dozens and dozens of times on GB. Saves the file to a folder called sdcard or something. Try again with out any extra steps of mounting or anything.:
In recovery choose backup, then advanced backup toggle down to backup with all saying yes. [Also you might want to make sure that the first time you go into recovery that you press the volume up and down buttons a few times all the way through to make sure you enable the power button/select. See Qbking77's videos for descriptions of that too.]

Is DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE still necessary for Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.x?

I've noticed that my CWM Recovery was version 5.0.x so I updated accordingly to the newest one per http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Before, I flashed new ROMs, I would run DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE because there was some sort of issue with CWM recovery 5.0.x. Is this still the case with the newest CWM recovery?

For some reason both the new 6.x.x.x touch recovery and regular recovery don't work right? Sometimes I have to restart in recovery like 3 times before one of the options actually works or doesn't hang...Anyone else get this issue? I did flash them via ROM Manager.

Yes. Its cause cwm don't have some scripts than you need for clean up your phone when you flash some rom.

I recomed you try twrp. Its awesome recovery and no need to flash DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE cause I think the tw include this scripts to they recovery project, also its too easy to install from goo manager

I would still keep in just in case. Never know when something is going to break.

Not true. They both function exactly the same. Problem is TW roms prefer TWRP and CWM 5.0.2.7 on this phone. Stop spreading bad word about CWM when the true issue is user error. Just because you had issues with it doesn't mean trwp is better. Clockwork mod has been around since android development started. Show respect where respect is due, son.

If you're rooted you should be able to install rom manager, and then install CWM from there.

If you install Rom Manager while rooted, go into the app, it should install the official CWM over your current install.

I loved TWRP when I was on the S3, but on the S4 it appears to be too sensitive. When I try to install a zip file and scroll down the list of folder using my finger it will enter that folder i did not pick.

Yes, there is an issue with that since the touch screen is so much more sensitive on the S4, but it will be fixed soon. Team Win is working on it.

have you done a full wipe before you flash the ROM.
Is your ROM root and has a cwm /tarp ?
Is your ROM stock without root , make a factory reset by settings,
than I think is the best flash a recovery cwm or tarp and root your tab by Odin.
make a backup by cwm and than flash the kids tab ROM with odin again.
I hope that was helpful.

You might want to try to replace the 2105 init*.rc with 210 init*.rc and just change the services started at boot. You can also try flashing stock ramdisk over the 2105 firmware, probably won't work but worth a try...

Thanks for tips, i try it tonight see how it go ..
