Yeah it is in TDJ's UCLE2 Beta 7.1 thread...here http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksidetools/files/SGH-T989_ClockworkMOD_5.0.2.7.zip/download and you can always doiwnload rom manager from playstore and install that way too.

thanks so much. im using twrp now, but my stock, unrooted 2.3.6 backup is in cwm format.
ill keep the .zip u posted on my sdcard root in case i ever need to go back.

[Q] ClockWork Recovery App question.

Hi
I root my HTC EVO about 2 weeks ago. When Unrevok ask me to install the custom recovery I answer yes (CWM V4.0.1.4). Everything went great. After that I download the Rom Manager App to manage my backups.
On the Rom Manager App when I press on "Backup Current Rom" I get this prompt "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing!. Install the recovery though Rom Manager First".
It is safe to install the ClockworkMod Recovery even do I have CWM V4.0.1.4 ?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, rom manager will just re-flash it to the latest version.

Amon-Ra vs. CWM
Is it really that much better? I kinda like the ROM manager that came with my CM7 Rom, and I know that prefers CWM.
Or do yourself a bigger favor and install twrp.

ROM Manager has a history of not being as efficient as it promises and making mistakes in backups. It also will not do a correct wipe of your system before flashing a new ROM, which creates problems, potentially, with FC's, etc...

TWRP is not there yet. They lack the wipe boot feature which will screw up alot of ROM installs. Ra Recovery is still the way to go, plus all ROMS that have issues flashing in CWM have issues in TWRP. Once TeamWin fixes the major issues with TWRP then it will be the recovery to use. Presently it is still flawed.
If I have ROM manager can I just download and flash RA Recovery over that without having to flash the PC36IMG.zip? I'm new to this so I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

If you have the android sdk installed on your system just boot to your bootloader and select fastboot. Then place the file in .img format in your android-sdk-windows\tools directory then rename the file to something shorter, I usually go with amonra.img. then navigate to that directory with cmd. Then type fastboot flash recover amonra.img this will flash the new recovery. However if you don't have the sdk installed then you will need the pc36img.zip format place it on the root if your sdcard and reboot the phone while holding power+vol up. The bootloader should detect the file and ask if you wish to apply the update. Press vol up to accept the update, and it will flash the new recovery. Now once you do this you will need to make all new backups because any backup made with CWM will not work with ra recovery.

Download from manager from play store and install through there...at the very top where it says flash clockwork mod recovery :thumbup:

[Q] How do I flash CWM over TWRP? Rom manager not an option

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.

[Q] using odin to flash CM10.1 rc1

- 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.

[Q] cm11 goomanager install twrp but cant replace cwm

As the title said, I just flashed a custom rom into my device ( CM11 kitkat 4.4.2)
Its the first time i root and flash my device
So now, goo manager told me that there is an update available for my device, i follow the instruction of it by downloading it
after that it pop up saying that my device need to have an open script recovery, (I searched youtube, they usually use twrp to update the CM custom ROM), so press yes and it started to download + install
There's a small pop up that saying I have installed twrp on my device, but when i press on reboot into recovery, it shows CWM recovery, even I try reboot into recovery by using ROM Manger.
How do I solve this ?
I just want to install TWRP and uninstall CWM as they said TWRP works better with CM version ?
and one small question, can i delete the zip file that i use to flash the ROM in my external sdcard, and the zip file that i have to use to update after flashing them or updating them ?

Cause you need to reflash your recovery.If you downloaded a zip file boot in CWM and flash the recovery zip file.If you downloadeded .tar.md5 file you need to put your phone into download mode ,open odin on your laptop and flash the recovery file (you need to transfer the .tar.md5 file to your laptop).Well you shouldn't delete your current ROM zip file to be honest you should have atleast have one ROM zip file (with the appropriate add ons needed ) just incase you run into trouble you can always flash the ROM from scratch (incase you don't have a back up of it on your sd card) I always keep one touch wiz ROM and one CM11 ROM zip file along with zip files of philz touch and twrp recovery (i don't do nandroid backups-personal choice) on my sd card.

Correct,that's how one replaces their existing recovery with another recovery.At end of flashing the zip file ,go back to main menu and click on "reboot recovery" ,You'll see your new recovery

Thanks you really helped me a lot
sorry for late reply as my replies are limited because im just new to here
By the way, one more question is is there anyway i can flash back to my stock rom but remain rooted?
and what if i want to unroot it
because i found this ROM quite buggy as in the camera app, i am a person that will take picture everyday, panaroma is quite important to me
i found this camera is very very very poor haha
furthermore, whenever in a skype call, i will hear nothing if i plugged in my earphone o.o
so i will probably flash back to stock rom but remain rooted is case of flashing other more stable rom
