Hi,
I have a Bell Galaxy S3 that has TWRP installed right now, but for some reason, only about 1/4 ROMS I try to flash on it lately, doesn't work. I would like to give CWM a try again, but I can't seem to find a way to flash it back. ROM manager doesn't give me the option and I can't find an up to date flashable TWRP or ODIN .tar file.

CWM will replace TWRP.
6.0.4.5 is the latest CWM and is needed to flash 4.4.2 ROMs.

I'm in a similar position with TWRP already installed but ROM manager gives me the option to flash CWM. If I use ROM manager will it still replace TWRP? I'm assuming it does, but I wanted to double check first.
PS I'm running an LG Optimius 4X HD, but a Google search for my question brought up this thread, which saves me starting my own.

I would not use Rom Manager. I would download a flashable zip made for your phone and flash it from TWRP. Alternatively, you could install it via adb/fastboot.

Thanks for the suggestion - is that done just by putting the zip onto the phone and using the "install" function in TWRP, just like flashing ROMs?

Yes. Personally, I used the latest release of Philz Touch which is based on CWM. There is a version that can be flashed via a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and a tar version that can be flashed in the PDA section of desktop Odin.

The official download off the CWM website is a .img - will that work or do I need to compress it to a .zip? Thanks for your help, especially given I don't really belong on your section of the forum!

I believe you can flash the img via fastboot.

All current versions of CWM are a little iffy. We won't have total stability until we get an official build that's flashable via ROManager.
Ahh, so it is a known bug that the one from rom manager doesn't work? It seems to reboot into the stock samsung recovery to install itself, and that obviously refuses to install the image because it isn't signed. Isn't the ROM manager supposed to replace the stock recovery with CWM recovery and reboot into that instead?

Yeah, ROM Manager doesn't support the E4GT yet. Some of the devs have managed to compile custom versions of CWM for us to use but with no integration with ROM Manager.
To answer your first question I think EB30 was just a typo. it is supposed to be EG30.
- i apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, its driving me nuts.
I downloaded the stable cm10.1.0 RC1 ROM and the zip file only had 3 files (META-INF, system, and boot(.iso) )
My question is, how does one flash this using odin? Just wanted to make sure, i dont want to brick my phone.
dont unzip it. it wont flash in odin. you must be rooted and have a custom recovery (twrp or cwm) installed.
check out the link in my signature.

Haha i thought it had to be flashed with CWM.
Thanks alot!
Been a while since i updated my device so i wanted to try out the new 4.4. I see that i needed CWM 6.0.4.3 and i only have 6.0.3.0. I downloaded Rom manager and installed the update that way and Rom manager says its is running the 6.0.4.3 but when i go to the recovery it says the old version is still running and gives me the expected error when i try to flash the 4.4 ROM. I also tried to download the the update file and flash that in recovery and it didn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It probably something simple and i will feel like an idiot when someone chimes in........

I updated mine yesterday from the rom mananger and had no problems.
1 thing you should know before you go and try the 4.4 kitkat is that sd card isnt showing. I love the rom but cant get to anything on my sd card.
Good luck.
@guttus
Just a Rule of Thumb. It is advisable to flash Recoveries with ODIN. I am very well aware you can use Rom Manager or Goo Manager, but this is just a thumb rule for flashing the Recovery Partition.
Also note, flashing wrong Recovery can cause hard brick.
recoveries in my sig.
odin and recovery flashable versions

Hi all. I'm on the i9305 and want to flash latest recovery for kitkat. I'm on philz recovery and wondered if there was one of his I could use. I searched xda but I couldn't find anything. Also I couldn't find an Odin (tar) file for normal cwm. Omni and cm only have the zip and IMG files.

I did do this update via oden. Also flashed Phil's recovery from there. This is where i tried to flash the 4.4 gapps to fix the issue with no luck.
Please post a log of the error when you tried to flash CM Kitkat. If you can't pull the log file, take a photo.
I'm running Dirty Unicorn 4.3.1 and MK4 and want to root to 4.4 kit kat and load some new roms.
I have tried just wiping and flashing, but I get no data unless i'm on wifi.
Is there a step by step to get the update?? I also read about some knox crap also. Don't know what that is.
Please advise.......
Thanks in advance
Dave

Well if you read most of the 4.4 rom threads you will see you need to use cwm recovery or philz recovery. Since you are using twrp you wont get data to work without going through a few hoops.

I did download rom manager and Philz. I just wasn't sure how to get them to override TWRP. Do I just flash Philz??
Thanks so much for chiming in. I've been rooted for several years, but this update flew right by me.
Keep talking......
Yeah just flash it through ROM manager then reboot into recovery. If it is not philz recovery (although it should be) then you can just flash it in recovery.

I downloaded rom manager, but it doesn't seem to override TWRP. I also tried to flash Philz (which I preferred), but I could only try to flash it with TWRP, and of course, it failed.
Do I need to freeze TWRP in Titanium backup ???
Please re-download Philz and verify md5 then flash in twrp. After flashing in twrp reboot the recovery within twrp and boom! you have Philz!

Like you, I could not get TWRP to leave my device (no matter what I tried). Only thing that finally worked was this flasher utility to get CWM:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
Granted I didn't try to Odin PhilZ or CWM but that was about the only thing left I hadn't tried.
I had twrp for a recovery. When I installed DU 4.4.2, I downloaded cwm 6.0.4.3 because I guess twrp and 4.4 roms don't play nice. I actually downloaded the cwm recovery, saved it on my external sd, and booted into twrp recovery, flashed the recovery file for cwm, and it rebooted. I boot back into recovery with cwm on board, and then downloaded whatever 4.4 roms and gapps package that was necessary. It works fine for me.
Hi all! I can't seem to find a flashable CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery for our G PRO(E98x/F240x).
If anyone can give me a link or the file itself, I would be very thankful!
Thanks in advance!

well i took that file from freegee folder, maybe you must flash this file first
Download CWM OR TWRP without any hassle
Just download freegee(root) from Google play store and once installed and opened ....let it download the necessary....then just click on cwm or twrp as per ur wish ......u might then feel as if the app has frozen....but it is the process of downloading...... And once finished it will show flash successful ....
Works with 4.4.2?
I used the FreeGee app on stock 4.4.2 V20c earlier, but it bricked my device. Why is that? How do I install a recovery on 4.4.2?
i have a question on flashing the cwm recovery image, i had to go back to stock as i was soft bricked - i now need to install a recovery and i am sure that when i did this a few weeks ago on my g pro i used flashify and flashed the cwm recovery image through this app and everything works ed well, now i am trying to do it and it flashes the file but wont go into recovery - it says fastboot mode started but never goes into recovery, i also tried rom toolbox to flash it and not having any luck - anyone have a way to do this ?

I would like to install a CWM touch variant, is there a way to get it done with KK stock rom?
I know it needs to be "lokified", but I have no clue how to do this.
Is there any tutorial to do this?

Philz touch cwm is a good one, you can find here on xda, or via Google search. However, my personal experience with cwm touch variant on e980 is that it causes the recovery bootloop (where you just keeps on going back to the recovery screen). Version 6.0.47 is stable , and will not cause the boot loop say when you try to open the recovery by using the up volume + power buttons. This seem to be the issue too with the cwm provided by cm update in the developer's option. Read the postings in the Philz's thread if you want to know more about the recovery loop and the touch cwm.
I get wrong date and time whene i make a backup. I have a E986. How can i fix this?
