Have two different recoveries, how do I use one as the standard

I installed the goodness as my first rom and following the guides it installed a modified CWM 5, the rogue version. I used Rom manager and installed the standard. WHen I reboot into recovery from the rom or using the pwr+up it boots into rogue, but when I reboot into recovery from rom manager it reboots into the standard cwm. I want to only use standard cwm, How do I get rid of and install it so when I boot into recovery manually it's the regular cwm.

Most don't recommend Rom manager, I would just stick with Rogue.. I had no problems with it..

Get rid of ROM manager it doesn't flash recovery right on this phone..and koush doesn't care to fix it...don't ever use the touch one either... Get a kernel with cwm in it at use mobile Odin to install....if using a GB ROM use the el26 if using a ics ROM don't use any recovery unless u hate your phone and want to brick it

Just stick with Rogue's. ROM Manager has been the source of a TON if bricks lately (mostly to do with CWM Touch). If you absolutely can't use Rogue you can use the stock CWM from EL26.

But really I'd stick with Rogue...

And ROM manager doesn't actually install recovery on the phone. When you flash a recovery in it it creates a temporary recovery for you to boot into. But ya, don't even bother messing with ROM manager for all the reasons everyone else has stated.

I totally agree here with the ROM Manager danger... When I had trouble in the past on a GB ROM, Koush didn't respond to any of my help requests.
I haven't had any issues lately, but in all fairness I do like the fact that ROM Manager will automatically reboot the phone into recovery, create a backup, and then boot back into Android. Also, I can delete or rename existing backups from right within Android with RM. I have restored the backed-up images with no issues too...
I've been on ICS since Calk's 1.0 FC06 ROM, and I have been fortunate enough to know to stay away from the touch recovery

You can delete or rename backups in android from any file manager app, most custom roms have the reboot mod to get to recovery and its a few clicks to backup and reboot to phone from recovery Rom Manager doesn't do anything special you can't do with your fingers and your trusting an app to do something for you instead of doing it yourself and making sure its done right

thanks for the feedback, I won't bother with rommanager anymore than lol. Also Can I use Rogue to flash Cyanogenmod and other roms, Some people are saying to use certain clockworkmod versions and saying rogue has caused bricks.

Install custom recovery only

When I install a rom with stock recovery (CM9 alpha 2 for instance), how do I get back the custom recovery in order to update the rom to the next version without having to use Odin to get back to an older rom with a custom recovery and wipe my data, then install the new version of the rom I want. Is there a better way to do this?

Use Auto Root, Mobile Odin, or Odin to install GB-based CWM.

Don't use any of the ics kernels repacked with rogue or cwm unless you hate your phone and need some bricks around the house

Go into download mode and use Odin into EL29 or EL26 you can do it for any ROMs that don't come with cwm recovery
Epic touch phone of xXHELLBoy91Xx

I keep an MD5 of a stock rooted EL29 and gunslinger kernel on my SD card and just use Odin Pro to flash it all at once from my phone. When thats done, just CWM back into recovery and flash whatever new rom you want.

Okay I found this from the blog post:
Stock android recovery is still being used in the ROM. This is for your protection, so you don't brick your phone due to all the people whom have flashed an ICS kernel, bricking when flashing a rom, wiping, etc. If you would like to backup or restore, or do any flashing, please go back to an ELXX gingerbread kernel, and do it from there.

Does this mean I can just flash future upgrades through the stock recovery if I already have alpha 2 installed?

Sorry bit isn't there a video and full write up on the first page on what to do. Just follow OP directions all will be well.

No it means cwm is bricking phones on ics kernels so it will not be included in the ROM until it's fixed ....if you want to do anything flash a GB kernel with cwm el26 ...it won't boot ics so go right into recovery

Cwm or twrp???

What are most people using and does it matter that much?? What are the differences?? Cwm or twrp? I'm on twrp because I used qbkings root method and that's what his tutorial had used. I've also seen people say they r using cwm, if I wanted to use that instead, is it OK to use rom manager to flash the recovery? And is rom manager fully functional for the gnexus? I'm sure I could probably test most of this and figure it out with my backup if something goes wrong but sure would b a lot nicer I didn't have to do all that, and maybe this will help someone else too.

i use cwm touch on my gnex, have not tried twrp. i flashed it using fastboot. you can also just try/use it (or other recoveries) without flashing using "fastboot boot [image]". if you flash it be sure to rename/delete recovery-from-boot.p in system as it will otherwise overwrite your custom recovery again once you reboot.

Where can I find fastboot image for cwm or would it just b easier to rom manager?
Do u know of any differences in the 2, when u say "other recoveries" what else is available for the gnexus??? I've only seen the 2.

i have not tried the rom manager, i guess its a little bit easier if you dont want to use the command line.
since i have not tried twrp i cannot say exactly what the differences are. but i would guess both can do about the same things as the job for a recovery is quite well defined.
at least 4 for gnex : stock, cwm, cmw touch and twrp. don't really know if there are others...

Well, in my experience TWRP offers many benefits over CWR e.g. being able to be themed, having scripts, 'flashier' GUI, built-in file explorer but in the end I still swapped back to Touch CWR as it's simple, and it has everything that a recovery should do (flash, wipe, mount etc.). TWRP also has a few small bugs here and there but it's great if you want more options and features. Also that animation of booting into recovery bugs the hell out of me, along with the 'Swipe to continue' thing and touch response isn't that good in file lists (like when you have to choose what you want to flash).
It's all up to personal preference so that easiest way is to just flash both and try it yourself.

Twrp is awesome much quicker than cwm my only complaint right now is I can't find any themes for twrp 2.1.2

Can't boot on CM10

I have some questions and need help fast if possible. I'm currently on CM10 beta 2 and only have a nandroid backup from being stock rooted. I know you can't simply restore a backup from jelly bean to ICS. I was playing with ROM Toolbox, and was installing some custom transitions. I did a backup of the stock transitions, but the zip backup file won't flash in recovery. Anyway I can't boot up and only get the Galaxy S II boot screen. I can however get into download and CM CWM based recovery. I've done quite a few searches, with no real answers for this issue. Any help will be greatly apreciated because I don't have my phone until I figure out exactly what to do. Do I have to download a stock ROM with cusom kernel to computer then transfer over file via usb using Odin and then use CWM to flash the stock ROM? I know not to do a factory wipe unless I'm on el26 or 29. I also know you can odin to them then flash, but all the odin kernels with CWM are from ICS and I can't find a solid method for my specific situation.

Flash any one of the stock full roms using this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252 Preferably flash official builds.

Thanks Blues.

Thanks Blues. But I need to flash el29 or six before flashing right? So I'm guessing I need to Odin to one? And I can do that from any ICS or JB right? So I just need the one click for PC Odin, then flash with Odin? Sorry, I just want to be 100% here.

Use the one click.exe full rom file that will flash the full el29 gb rom. Then from there you can flash cwm to flash cm10 or whatever rom you want.

But do I have to go el29 or 26? How do I get there from where I'm at now? Thanks again, and sorry I just want to be 100% here.
Edit: Okay, great. After flashing that I obviously could do my nandroid restore? Just because I lost some pictures or something happened when I flashed to JB because I only had a few pics and none of my SMS or call logs or anything came through.

Ok, just so the thread is not a complete waste, I did flash the stock ROM via PC ODIN. Went back to stock, was able to do a nandroid restore, and went ahead and flashed CWM recovery via Mobile ODIN. Went ahead and wiped factory in CWM recovery and flashed CM10. Thanks again Blues, next time I'll just post in your noob thread. . I'm not a noob but I just never had to PC ODIN when not being able to boot and wasn't sure how safe it was in my specific state.
P.S. Any other users are more than welcome to P.M. me if you have any questions. I probably won't visit here again

Fix for Error flashing newer CM Rom via Lokified TWRP 2.6.1.0

The fix is simple!
Install CWM via freegee, it'll replace TWRP.
Afterwards everything will work like it's supposed to, you'll be able to use CWM to flash the newer CM roms on your phone!

Umm...if your on a Custom ROM, that won't work. You can also use the hacked TWRP and the problem is solved.
You did not think this thread out to clearly, you stated the obvious but not the entire spectrum of problems and ways...just sayin'.

Sorry but what was the error you were getting while flashing newer CM?

Use the hacked twrp from madmack. It works fine.
