Hi,
I recently rooted my Desire Z and installed the CWM recovery. Now, I came to know that the CWM creates ext3 partitions while 4EXT makes ext4 partitions. I have two queries:
1. Does the latest CWM Touch recovery creates ext4 partitions like 4EXT?
2. If no, then how should I uninstall the CWM and install the 4EXT. I have downloaded the 4EXT Recovery Updater.

CWM Touch is just a touch interface to CWM so, to the best of my knowledge (I haven't used CWM since the system reset bug back in v3) it doesn't do ext4 partitions.
To get 4ext, just download the free installer from 4ext.net or buy the pro version from the Market/Play (highly recommended, and it helps support the dev). From either app, just follow the instructions and it will download 4ext Recovery and flash it over CWM recovery.

Just one more query (and perhaps a silly one!). If I flash 4Ext via the updater, will my mobile have 2 different recoveries with a choice to go to any or 4Ext would replace the CWM and will be the only recovery available?

I was trying to install the 4ext recovery through one of the members here in xda. And once i transferred the recover.img of the 4ext recovery. Now i cant even see my normal CWM recover screen nor the 4ext one also. So i canr flash any roms oe nothing of that sort. When ever try to boot into reocvery all i see is the htc boot logo and never moves from there. Bur WEIRD THING IS THAT WHEN I JUST POWER ON MY PGONE NORMALY LIKE ANY USER, MY DINC2 BOOTS UP WITH the cyanogen mod Rom I HAVE INSATLLED.

I made a nand backup before I flashed custom rom. Now the backup is in .dup format.
Recovery which come with rom doesn't show any backup at all, but clockworkmod v5.8 skips them.
How can I restore it now?

and now im restoring the nanad So, yes, problem solved.
when i go to flash the CWM recovery.img i get an error stateing that there was an unexpected error. i try loading a older version of cwm and all i get is blank screen with the cwm logo in the background. i'm running twrp atm and the only way i can get cwm to work is by booting into recovery from the rom manager. what can i do to get the CWM loaded perm so i dont have to load it through the rom manager?

TWRP bro ,better ui, all touch, super awesome
Im running twrp right now and the steps I'm raising is dropping the recovery.img file in the fast boot folder the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. I used the above step with twrp and it works great but cwm just goes stupiid on me when I do the same thing

They say cwm doesn't work very well on our phone. I personally never had any problem but I find twrp easier.

plz someone help me i can't install roms which having installer like viper nd svhd because the are having their installer instead of flash method using pc.
I don't understand your question. ROMs with aroma installer are flashed from recovery like any other ROM. RUUs are flashed from your computer.
When i tried to install svhd rom the aroma installer starts from zero percent and suddenly goes to 100 but still it shows that the rom is installing

No details. No error logs. No indication of what you did, what happened, or what files you used. No indication of what "no luck" means. Obviously no desire to help us help you. I give up.
Sorry sir, i have tried every method suggested in this post whenever i flash a recovery from pc or direct app(4ext) it shows that new recovery is successfully flashed but on rebooting it shows the same recovery menu(clockworkmod 5.8.1.5) i tried every tool to flash a new recovery.
I don't know what to do now
Solved using 4ext recovery
As above. Help.

CWM Advanced
Yes there is I personally use: Philz Touch. Which is an advanced version of Clockworkmod recovery. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
Or you can just use this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718143 to switch from recovery to recovery.
Cwm, philz. It's posted all over this forum. However I would say twrp is the better recovery.
