ROM Manager does not see CWM Recovery

Hi guys, new to rooting and android in general.
I have a GS3 with Videotron and I root the device with a older version of CWM.
I installed ROM manager but it always says that CWM Recovery is not installed on my device.
So I went ahead and updated CWM to the lastest version (Not touch), but I still have the same issue.
From what I saw our device should be supported by ROM Manager.
Is there something I am doing wrong ?
Thanks a lot !

how did you update cwm? I had to do it through Rom manager

I did it in console because ROM Manager says CWM is not installed, so I can't update.

It tells me I have the latest recovery but I have the touch recovery 4.8.4.5 or something... I installed through terminal though.

If I can't get Rom Manager to work the other way to backup is doing it from recovery directly ?
Thanks !
EDIT : I guess I should add that when I try the option Flash CWM Recovery my the Galaxy S3 is not in the device list.

My guess for this is that you have the T999V. I would think they woulda covered that when adding support for the s3, but maybe they missed it?
Check the cwm website and email them if you cant find confirmation of this either way.

See this link. It is a toolkit that does everything from rooting to CWM touch. It guides you through the process and is actually quite magical. It is extremely user friendly and easy to understand. Works with all variants of the S3. Also be sure to thank the OP MSKIP for posting it.

i think the OP may have been referring to the fact there is no 6.0.1.2 Touch recovery on the CWM website... only non-touch shows up and under the "Touch" column it is just N/A

The 6th versión of touch is not out yet. However if u like the older version here is the last update no zip thought.
Just use a terminal window and type
- Su
- dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Just rename the file to recovery. Img before

Copy the file to the internal sd memory /

Look in DEV section under Flash nontrip/rooted. CWM 5.8.4.5 d2att - is what you need. Do not try later versions - they don't mount external SDcard.

Updating my recovery

I haven't done much with my phone lately and I'm thinking about updating my software cause of some issues.
I was thinking about using the PARANOIDandroid 2.99 and it said I should update my recovery version and I was wondering how I should do that?
Any point in the right direction would be cool. I'm not a noob just out of date.

download goo manager and use it to flash the latest twrp or you could get the zip file posted in the twrp thread and flash that in recovery then reboot..

I believe officially, twrp doesn't supply flashable zips; if downloaded from their website, you'll have to use fastboot.
'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'

I updated my recovery trough the ROM manager app. Its an easy way, just press flash CWM. Works perfectly for me.

Goo manager is the same thing as ROM manager, only its free and flashes a much better recovery.
Go with twrp

You can flash it via ROM Manager if you want to do it directly on your device.

Or you could also hold the link and "save as." It might show up as a .bin, rename it to the .IMG and you should be good.

Hi all, I've been looking for CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.3.0 for my Rogers i747m (d2can) everywhere.
I've only been able to find the MetroPCS or the AT&T version (d2att). Since the AT&T version is the same as the Telus, Rogers, Bell, Fido, Koodo, Sasktel, MTS version. I removed the d2att check from the zip file script during recovery installation.
Just flash from recovery on your i747m device and away you go. Enjoy

Zip File for CWM Touch
Thank you for keeping this thread updated!
I just installed the touch one on my S3 today with ADB. I don't see much change from version to version.
When I was more active in the S2 Skyrocket forums someone would always post a zip of the regular veresion and Touch version for easy flashing. It'd be nice to have a version for those who don't want to use ADB. I believe you need linux to convert the .IMG to a .ZIP. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is TWRP better than CWM or just a preference thing?
In my experience I think TWRP is a little faster but I like the Rom Manager CWM experience a little bit more than GooManager TWRP experience.

I have tried the "tar file from img" feature that is included in the UNIFIED TOOLKIT, but the tar file which it created was not recognized by ODIN.

Before converting did you rename the img file so it would be accepted by odin?
Like boot.img, cache.img or in your case recovery.img

The answers you got in Task's threads still stand. It's either that you have to update your cwm (make sure it's d2att) or you'll have to use TWRP.
You can also redownload or
cut out a line in the updater script but I don't suggest that.

You need to update your recovery. Either use rom manager or, if you can't boot up, download an cwm flashable zip located at the bottom of post #2 in my signature link. Place it on a micro sd card and flash it in recovery. Go to advanced and reboot recovery. Flash rom and gapps again

Either your recovery is outdated, or you are trying to flash a device that isn't displaying itself as an i747 (d2att). This could be because your using a Canadian version of the s3, or your trying to flash the att Rom on a tmo,vzw, or Sprint version of the phone.
