Hi i am trying to install CWM Recovery for my galaxy w but can someone tell me the difference between installing CWM like this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593) and installing it by downloading ROM Manager from the market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en) and use the option Flash CWM Recovery as seen in the first app screenshot.
Head to Dev section there is a thread on ClockworkMod Recovery esp. made by arco68...use the Odin method.
Flashing via ROM Manager is not advisable yet....

Better not use the ROM Manager App method, unless somebody confirmed it is working.
I bricked my Galaxy Ace a year ago using that method when I didn't know better.
When you try to do it via the CWM application you get a list of supported devices.
You will not find the wonder in there, trying to use other device will probably end you up with a brick.
I have tried the recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ancora.zip by using adb shell method. It works without any problem.

I just rooted my phone using Zedomax's guide and I want to flash the Starburst ROM but I downloaded Clockworkmod in the market. Is it the same as using Odin to install Clockworkmod? Will I run into any issues using Clockworkmod from the Market?
Clockworkmod recovery is what you need to get and it is not available in the market. You will need to use Odin to flash one of the kernels in the development section that has Clockwork included. After that, you can use it instead of Odin for almost all flashing needs.

I got confused with thos 2(rom manager and clockworkmod) but i used the market one to flash backup and restore with no issues.

What you downloaded from the market is ROM Manager from the same person he maintains the official versions of Clockworkmod. It integrates with CWM to allow for easier flashing of custom ROMs and what not. Unfortuantely the E4GT is still not officially support so you will have to use CWM manually for the time being.

Ok so I came from an HTC Hero which I rooted with z4root and I had ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had my Xperia play for a few months now and I have been trying to find a way to root it. Well I finally did using this tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487221. Well as soon as I got my root permission and I saw that I had superuser, I went straight to the market and downloaded Rom Manager. I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery from there but it says that R800x does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Well then I tried the flash alternate recovery part which is RA Recovery v.1.6.2. Well it acts like it is going to download then it gives me a message saying an error occurred while flashing your recovery. So my question is: Can someone please help me get a working recovery going on my phone?
The R800x has a locked bootloader so you can't use CWM in quite the same way. Look for the app calleo CWM in the market. It's for our phone and installs CWM in \system.
You won't be able to use custom kernels or OC unless you unlock the bootloader. However, there are a few ROMs you can try, and you can do a nandroid as well.
See the stickies in this section for more info and links,

This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I just installed CWM Auto-Installer and it (at least seems to for now) works great.

Ask in tmobile s2 forum, not here. And not in development forum, but in Q&A forum.
I'm not sure how to uninstall clockwork, but if you're looking to switch to TWRP, you can just install it from Goo Manager ( should overwrite CWM ). I think it's the install open recovery script option.

You can't "uninstall" a recovery. The best you can do is overwrite it. Options are to reinstall cwm, install twrp (goo manager should be fine for this), or revert to stock rom using odin to get stock recovery back. I personally recommend twrp. To me there are too many cwm clones/branches/versions, and most have some sort of problem. Never had a problem not using "super wipes" on twrp.

Im upgrading to an SGS3 from SGS2 and am curious whether the SGS2 usb jig will work on the SGS3 for resetting the flash counter?
Nope. You have to use triangle away. But if you utilize the no trip root method and install TWRP from goo manager you will never increment the flash counter.

I've only ever used 4EXT and CWM, am able to install CWM from TWRP recovery? This phone seems to use a different recovery method than I've used. I take it it's not incorporated into the Kernel like SGS2 where I can just flash a kernel with CWM.
I just saw the "Stupid Question" thread where this probably could have been asked so I apologize for starting a new thread for this question.
The S3 does not follow the same method of recovery as the S2. Kernels do not come with a recovery. You have to install the recovery manually. You can either use zips found in the recovery's thread or you can utilize goo manager to install TWRP (menu>install openscript recovery) or ROM manager to install CWM.

Twrp is similar to 4ext and cwm. Use it the same way.
So does this mean that 4EXT is an accepted recovery console for the I747? I have been reading a ton and I see so many people flashing with CWM and no one has mentioned 4EXT. Just wanting to make sure before taking the dive with my favorite recovery software.
Thanks!

Honestly you will be better off with TWRP. I have completely stopped using CWM due to several issues it was involved in. So far not a single issue with TWRP. It's a quick download and install from the market, install the recovery from the app, and your good as gold.
1 thing to remember, as the devices get newer, some methods that you may be used to doing such as 4EXT may no longer be valid anymore.
Got it. I appreciate the quick reply and the heads up. Much props!
Forget about 4ext, it's no longer relevant now that you have the S3. Pick either CWM or TWRP (I recommend TWRP) and move on.

As others have suggested, go with TWRP. Used 4ext when I had my Inspire and loved it. However, check 4ext out on the Play Store and you'll find the S3 isn't listed as compatible. Tried CWM on the S3, and had issues, so switched to twrp and haven't looked back.
Hi all,
I would like to flash my device with 4.3 doedexd and i need the safest way to install custom recovery cwm/twrp....please guys i searched enough with no luck and most of the threads doesnt mention the build supported number...sorry guys but i softbricked two devices before...this is why i have to ask....
Are you rooted? You can always just Odin twrp recovery or flash it thru their native app, Goo manager from the market. Look up their thread and it should give you specific instructions on how to do so.
