[Q] Installed Clockworkmod from Market. Same as Odin?

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.

[Q] Updating CWM Recovery

I rooted my phone using Unrevoked3. Of course by doing this, an outdated version of CWM Recovery was flashed to my phone. Can I flash a newer version of CWM Recovery from CWM or will that mess up my phone?

Flashing a new version won't hurt a thing. An easy way is to install ROM manager from market, open ROM manager and select the first option to flash cwm. After that you can uninstall ROM manager if you wish. Or you can dl the version you want and install it from your SD card.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking... Just wanted to be sure! And hey, I gotta also say thanks for helping me bring life to my dad's Eris. I flashed your ROM on it and he's really noticed a difference. Ha ha, it's actually usable now!

Any time glad people are still enjoying it. I'll be updating the Eris ROM with the R.I.P. release soon. Working on getting cm fully synced back up now for that, updating my inc cm ROM and starting the condemned cm series for inc2. Also have a new inc ROM in testing now. Just have a few things to work out with it yet.

Team Epic or Official CWM????

I just got my S3 and used mskips amazing toolkit to root/install recovery etc. But it seems it has installed 5.5.0.4 which from my knowledge is the modded version from Team Epic. The recovery works perfect minus the backup date stamp. I was thinking may as well upgrade to the official CWM 5.8.4.7 and also get touch. But have read that it has some SD card issues and also the backup stamp is the same as Team Epic.
Anyone know if CWM fixed the issues in the recovery? Also in mskip's 2.3 toolkit I don't see CWM available for the Bell S3 am I alright in just flashing AT&T?
I know it should be fine since its the same device and was the case with my i9000M, but better be safe then sorry.

You should use TWRP. IMO its better than CWM and has more features.

I also like TWRP better. Once I installed it on my Kindle Fire I would never go back. Don't get me wrong CWM is an excellent recovery and CWM touch is great. Its mostly user preference.

care to explain the differences besides the user interface? Why is it better then CWM?

Read that thread. It gives all the details.

Download the .img from here
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
place it in the root of your sdcard then use dd from terminal emulator (or adb shell)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1-d2att.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Thats how i did it (multiple times) and didn't lose my imei.

If I have Team Epic's CWM, and I want to update my rooted S3 from UCALG1 to UCALH9, how would I go about doing that? The OTA H9 thread by drothenberger mentions it won't work if you have Team Epic Recovery Mod.

Just use the latest 6.0.1.4 Touch Recovery from CWM. No date issues and can see ext card just fine. Thats what I used when using drothenberger method.

SGS2 usb Jig on SGS3?

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.

Uninstall CWM

Hey guys have a question that can't seem to be answered by other threads haha. Got a customers phone who wants to uninstall CWM for the new TWRP on their Incredible 2. (I may do myself since this is the same phone I have haha) How would I go about doing this in a timely fashion.
Appreciate the help in advanced guys

If your s-off just download goo manager from play store and flash new recovery. As for only being unlocked, your gna have to download twrp and flash through fastboot
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I have root and s-off so ill give that a try, do I have to delete CWM or remove it or does TWRP just take over

Any recovery you install will overwrite your current recovery

You might also try 4ext. Download their app and it will install the recovery for you. Also a touch recovery that I and many other really like.
