I'm running cwm recovery 5. Something. I'm sorry I forgot the specific build. But I want to update to build 6 touch. I downloaded cwm manager and it doesn't support i747m. Only metropcs s3. I downloaded the img file from clockworkmod. But now I have no idea on how to update my recovery. I tried using flashify app because it says it can flash images. But in the end it just broke my recovery so I had to use mobile Odin to flash back the old recovery

Follow these steps exactly and you will have the latest CWM running.
1) Download correct Clockworkmod (touch or regular as you wish) for your device from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2) Rename it to recovery.IMG and place it at the root of your internal sdcard
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the Play Store
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Don't mess up the command or you WILL brick your phone.
5) Enjoy your Clockworkmod.
A little easier way is to use "mobile odin" (from the play store) and flash the recovery image from there.
Avoids the possibility of making a typing error.

°Clockworkmod
You need a terminal rooted
You can root with gingerbreak app

°Download Terminal Emulator Push it to the sdcard And install it
°Download Flash_image and push it to the sdcard

So, I was originally on CWM recovery non-touch 5.5.0.4 and wanted to to update to CWM recovery TOUCH 5.8.4.5 so that I could install CM10 without any hassels. I downloaded the .tar in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552 and flashed it in ODIN right over my existing CWM. (I opened ODIN, loaded the .tar into PDA, made sure PDA was checked, put phone into download mode and plugged it in, made sure ODIN recognized it by showing me a COM#, hit start, waited until I saw "PASS" and then unplugged). Thinking everything went smoothly, I rebooted into recovery only to find that I was still on my old non-touch 5.5.0.4. What gives? Did I mess up somewhere? Am I safe to go ahead and push the recovery image in ADB? Thanks!

Use the set of instructions below instead. It's easier and it doesn't increase your flash counter. I try not to use Odin if I don't have to.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
I hope this helps!

Make sure you have the right image, stick it in the root of your sdcard. I assume you have rooted your device. Sooo, download the correct image, then do the following.
Download Terminal Emulator
Open it
Run the following commands:
su (this should grant you superuser access, if it doesn't, well, you have other issues)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Change the recovery.img to whatever the image you put on your sdcard was (or just rename it to recovery.img, whatever makes you happy).
It takes a couple of seconds, but it should just write it on in there. If you did it properly, you should be able to boot in to CWM Touch. If not, well, you'll have to put something new in there. I did this to install an AT&T recovery image on my Telus S3. Your mileage may vary, and I take no responsibility for it destroying your phone or your home.
touch version is not available yet only the stander one is for 6
you can refer to the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877761
a flashable zip update was made by billard412
or the method mention above will work just rename the file to recovery.img place it under internal sd card / and run the command via terminal
I did the Terminal Emulator thing before post and put all the commands but it said recovery.img cannot find, I'm using the file name recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att.img download from clockworkmod website and rename to recovery.img

If I have a stock rooted gs3 currently running ICS and stock recovery, can I just download goo manager or ROM manager and use that app to install the custom recovery?
Or if I'm on stock recovery is Odin the only way to install a custom recovery?
Thanks.

you are rooted.... forget everything you know about installing recoveries and follow this instruction here:
download the clockworkmod, or any recovery you want... download it straight from it's source site, so like clockworkmod.com, wherever... you are looking for the .img file of the recovery, not the .tar....
let's assume it is named "cwm.img" ... with me so far? put that file on your sdcard of your device, not the external sd card.... and put don't put it in any folders or anything, just download it, put it on your sd card... ready? here comes the easy part
download this app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ..
open the app, and type these commands for successssss (after each 1 of these command lines, you must hit enter)
su (it will ask for root permission, grant it, your "$" icon will change to "#")
dd if=/sdcard/cwm.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery (you should see an output)
reboot recovery
you are now in your new recovery.

Is there a step by step procedure for installing twrp and blisspop on my e980? presently running the 20i firmware. Tried Flashify but it fails to install twrp. This phone has root but is carrier unlocked but has never been flashed so I am stumped. Any help appreciated
I had this same issue but with installing a recovery in the first place due to the locked bootloader and I couldn't find fixes.
But some info would be useful
1. What firmware are you on ex : Kitkat 4.4.2 etc - this can be checked in about phone option.
I used GPro recovery then flashed twrp via that using the unofficial cwm it installed file for the recovery at the bottom of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/root-bootloader-unlock-t3203573
Steps that may work
1. Enabled unknown sources in security
2. Installed the GPro apk file
3. Hit flash kitkat recovery for g pro
4. Moved the recovery.IMG file for twrp to /sdcard
5. Booted into recovery using the app
6. Flash the recovery.IMG file
What might work (worked for me)
1. Installed cwm using the above method steps 1-3
2. Get latest twrp.IMG (recovery.IMG)
3. Go into flashify
4. Hit flash recovery image
5. Hit choose a file and use your preferred file browser to navigate to your file
6. Hit flash now.
7. Reboot to recovery or normal reboot.
You can mix these two methods and try them differently as for blisspop
1.Get the .zip file
2.Boot into your recovery
3. Wipe System,cache,dalvik cache, and data.
4. Flash the .zip file.
5. Hit reboot to system
WARNING make a backup and check if the .zip is corrupted before booting into recovery
You can also Google methods for installing ROMs.
Hope I helped.
