How to flash a newer version of CWM safely

I initially rooted with http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS3ATT/rooting/GalaxyS3RootATT.zip that I got from here yesterday but feel like it has been al ittle glitcht.y http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/
the newer version is recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.5-d2att sI don't want it to conflict with the old version of CWM or anything it leaves behind. hould I just do it through odin?

the best route would be to flash from rom manager.....and if not, grab the latest from the interwebz and run this from terminal
su
if=/sdcard/ recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

Should I use the CWM that I already installed or install the CWM that comes with rom manager (in the drop down menu it only offers galaxy s2...fyi I've always flashed with CWM without ROM manager)?

I just updated CWM through Rom Manager. The latest version is 6.xxxx, and it now reads exSd.

what do you mean "through" rom manager. Did you flash an image through it? Could you provide the link for that image?
OR
Rom Mangaer has an install CWM recovery option...but underneath that option I do not see the Galaxy S3 listed...so what phone did people select?

The first option in RM is to flash a recovery. Upon pressing that you are given a list of phones. Scroll down to the Samsung GS3 and choose it. It will then flash the recovery within RM.

AhAh! I knew i wasn't crazy... I have the same problem with Rom Manager , it won't show the S3 in the Menu. I tried uninstalling, wiping app data, reinstalling, Nothing, Nada, Niet ...... Let me know if you find a solution to this

I've had issues getting ROM manager to recognize me as a gs3 as well that's why I learned the terminal commands lol

Terminal is as easy as the rest. I posted the commands up top, I see you didn't read the whole thread ;p ****, terminal is easier BC you can pick any recovery you want. Besides, it makes u feel like a true dev ;p

cool

I do not have any SG3 as an option to flash. How do i fix this?

Hey my md5 checksum has a mismatch, but I know the files are fine. is there a terminal command to recompile the md5 for a given image?
Also I noticed the new version of CWM has teh option to backup files as TAR, wouldn't that be better since Odin flashes Tar? If you couldn't get into CWM for some reason you can just flash for Odin?
Forgive me if I'm being newb here had my phone for three days after a motorola bravo

Change .exe to .zip

Is it possible for me to change a, . Exe file to a, . Zip file?

Generally, no. But I know 7zip ( http://www.7-zip.org/ )can extract the contents of many executables as if they were a zip. What is this for?

Generally no. But what do you need to do and I might try and help

I downloaded a exe file that I wntd to flash

It's probably not too wise to flash an .exe file to your phone. That's a windows executable file and this is Android.

Hey kingtnutt,
What are you trying to do with the .exe file? Do you need to extract it to pull files from it? More details would help.
If the .exe is a "self-extractor" it would probably work to change the extension to .zip and then extract it. It may not, though.

Ok, sounds like you have a self extractor. Follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033

Sounds like you're trying to install a One-click update.
There are instructions for installing via Mobile Odin here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
See the 'Android Section'
sfhub and rwilco12 have done a bang up job of putting up detailed install instructions.
Take some time and really read throught the posts, watch Qbking77's videos and then re-read the posts AND follow ups. Or you could end up with a shiny fishing lure.
Why not use PC Odin? Especially if you're just starting out. Might save you loads of trouble.
Good luck

Unfortunately those one-clicks are compiled in such a way that they can't be extracted. You have two options to flash it, Odin or Mobile Odin.
Out of curiosity, why would you want to convert it to a ZIP?

. Zip files are the only files I know how to install... I didn't see a. Zip for the fh23 rooted stock rom though

K. The good news is that these one-clicks make flashing with a ZIP look almost impossible. You seriously plug your phone in and press the start button in the one-click and you're done (that's over-simplifying but you get the idea). Check out the instructions in the OP and it walks you right through it.

If you still want to use a zip Crawrj has the fh23 rom here

*The free one is the attache been further down. Same one just here for members use*
That's the easiest way for me at least or use desktop odin
or rom manager lets you download the latest recovery I believe.......or you could just use TWRP unless all your backup are in CWM

Make sure your phone is rooted .. and then go to google playstore and download rom manager and select your model from rom manager and. Thats it ...

[Q] CWM Problem

Hi there, just bought a new N7100 and because I'm using Linux mint I decided to root my phone using Exynos Abuse and to be honest this was really simple....Then I installed ROM Mnnager, and set up CWM recovery from within ROM Manager. Now then, CWM has installed but whenever I try to reboot into CWM I just get stock recovery....
Is there a simple method to resolve this problem????
Thank you in advance

Delete the file named recovery restore.p or something via root explorer.

Thank you for your quick reply however I cant locate this 'recovery restore.p' to delete it. I've tried looking in system, sys, root and almost all other folders via Root Explorer cant find it. Any ideas??
Thank you

Download the recovery from cwm site.
If it is in .img format then rename it to recovery.img and flash it via mobile odin.

[Q] Converting recovery .img to Odin .tar?

Hello guys. I was wondering could someone point me to hopefully a script that can automatically convert a recovery .img to an Odin flashable .tar file. I am trying to flash CWM Touch on my GS3 and I have seen the thread before on here (it was a batch script for windows) but I have continuously searched and searched and cannot find the thread anymore. I have seen the one for Cygwin and Linux terminal converting, but I don't want that. Thanks again -InvisibleNinja

Thank you. I'll look into it.

You can download one already made from my Sig too. It'll have a .tar.md5 extension.
