i have used clockwork recovery for a while. But is is old with not much development. is there a alternative that is better with all the functionality and more.
Clockwork mod has set the standard for custom recoveries I wouldn't suggest deviating from it. But if you dont care you can try TWRP its not bad, you can theme it and its touch like Cwm

I'll second TWRP
when playing around with different roms and kernels, it's layout just seems more logical and natural. Didn't have any problems so far with wiping and installing stuff (that wipe cache/dalvik button after install is really handy)
Hope they continue to develop
I also use twrp. Best recovery overall IMO.

Sounds like bad nand memory not a recovery... I could be wrong though. Or your partitions are corrupt.

how do you fix a bad nand memory?, or fix the partition?
clockwork finds the nand backup fine and starts the restore process. restores system fine, secure fine, but errors out while restoring data

You dont... means busted phone... like i said i could be wrong. Do you have enough space for the nandroid? you need about 2gigs for it to back up properly depending on how much /data you have... like how many apps you have... i have roughly 30-40 and my nandroids are around 800mbs... otherwise yes it will error.

that's crazy to think about. I remember when Koush made it for the D1 just so we could flash CM because SPR used a different format. Thinking back, that guy did a LOT in a short amount of time

+1 on this. I had just started using 4EXT on my Evo 3d, it was great. I think Clockwork mod is great as well but I prefer 4EXT and TWRP's user interface. I would use TWRP but it seems a lot of mods I wanna flash can't be done with it.

I've gone back to cm touch after using TWRP for a while.
TWRP is great, and I did like the ability to queue zips, but I had trouble with nandroids and with rom manager integration. Basically, I would hit apply in rom manager, and my phone would boot to the menu in TWRP instead of flashing the rom. Ultimately, nothing beats the ease of being able to hit a button in Android, and have the phone reboot and automatically install your updates. (On the other hand, if someone can tell me how to integrate TWRP with rom manager, that'd be awesome...)
With nandroids, the process took about 3 seconds and the files weren't nearly big enough, so I guess it was missing something.

Though somebody helpfully just suggested on another thread that I should try goo manager instead of ROM manager. I might give that a go.
Is it possible?
Ive heard TWRP is the better recovery for JB and ICS, currently i have CWM but would like to get TWRP before flashing CM10/AOKP.
Can i just load the recovery zip file and flash in CWM?
Yes you can, but you're mistaken about TWRP being a better recovery for AOSP Jelly Bean roms. Using CWM 6.0.1.4 I never got one random reboot or SoD. I first flashed CM10 official nightly using TWRP 2.2.2.0 and got a random reboot waiting for the initial 10 minute wait to finish. Then I got another one playing around with the power button checking to see the consistency of the CRT animation. I switched over to official CWM 6.0.1.4 using rom manager and never had an issue afterwards. Aside from the usual graphics glitch here and there.

Personally I think TWRP is the better recovery. Its feature set is awesome such as queing files to flash and what not. But I really do believe these roms play favorites. Touchwiz roms seem to work the best when using TWRP. AOSP roms seem to work best with CWM. I use both recoveries and switch between TWRP for DARKSIDE Evolution and CWM for AOSP jelly bean roms.

I have only flashed JB twice with TWRP 2.3.1 and have had zero RRs or SODs(so far)
Reading the changelog it seems to have shifted more towards JB, but im a noob so wth do i know haha
TWRP is shhhweet
I have been looking all over and my eyes are about ready to have a critical meltdown.
I have a T-Mo T-989 (Hercules) and have been looking for a JB ROM all night and found some shady threads or ROMs that don't work. I dunno, maybe I've installed something wrong, little help here?
Generally the ones that will install get hung up during the initial boot, wtf? Have run across some that wouldn't even install and would abort.
I should say I am using CWM 5.0.2.6... I think, its been so long since I have done anything to this phone so I forget but I know its ither Odin or CWM (or are they both one in the same? x.x ) I've been using Darkside Evolution ICS ROM all this time and would be nice to move up to JB if there is a stable one out there
Have you tried vincom's cm build? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886009 its very stable. Been using it for 9 days now without a single SOD or RR. To get the best results I recommend using TWRP. Just head over to the play store and download GooManager. Open, grant superuser, hit menu, then click on "install open recovery script". Go through the prompts and it will download and install TWRP. The method I use for flashing was: Darkside superwipe, ROM, gapps. (I did not use the super light gapps because the home button doesn't work when I do and it doesn't auto restore my apps)

Hmm, well I got goo manager and its now stuck on the TWRP's boot screen and just reboots after so long of sitting there :/ and its already deleted the rom, so I guess I have to go through the CWM rooting proceeders again?
Well I have managed to get CWM5 back on it and got a working ROM for now but it seems when I do the method you imply it flukes and freezes at the TWRP boot screen. I followed ye the best way possible, maybe there is an alternative way?
I have tried installed Vincom's JB all versions and it comes back as error then aborts install or it installs but sits at initial boot for more than 25min and does nothing I've found that while the warning say give it 10min to boot is generally just a 'just in case' scenario since the T989's processors are considerably powerful.
I have tried to get the ROM onto the phone's internal memory and install from there like Vincom said but the computer won't read the phone for some reason >.<
i would say, to use twrp and download the latest cm10 Here.
i recommend twrp for stable flashing cause there's bugs in latest cwm...

Not entirely true. Contrary to what everyone has been saying, and im not trolling just saying from personal experience - cwr 5.0.2.7 and dark side wipes have yet to give me problems I was on the majority if not all jb roms with no issues other than rr/sod which was before the kernel fix.
I'm a noob and expect that 90% of the people here kno more than I do but I wish someone could explain to me why the scripts and cwr 5027 are suddenly so bad.

CWR 5027 isn't bad at all it's just that using darkside scripts with certain new recoveries has caused some people boot loops and also with the newer recoveries they aren't required since the built in wipe options work just fine.Personally I use the recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844637

I would recommend trying either AOKP OFFICIAL Build 5 (not sure if by time you read this if theres a newer one) or a CM10 Nightly. I've tried tons of different JB roms from 4.1 to 4.1.2 and those work good. Decent battery life without changing too many settings (I'm afraid to change too many things because I've hard bricked my phone before but barely got it replaced under the 20 day full exchange warranty). No random reboots or force closes for me so far. Highly recommend trying them out, very simple to flash.
Been on the official aokp and its amazingly stable better then anything jb rom I tried on the s2 battery is excellent too

Actually... I have CMW6 now the touch one. Does that have something to do with it? The main issue I have with SBean and CM9's JB is eveyrone complains that they can't hear me, that I sound like a robot and the call is badly broken up or that I'm not speaking up like my mic isn't picking up on my voice very well.
Is this a ROM error or a kernel error? rather annoying frankly @[email protected]

The customization features of it are to die for
Ooooo, wait a tic... I feel like such n00b now...
I kept downloading V1 thinking it was the newest one xD I think the V6 at the way bottom is the newest one. I'll try that for a few days then report back.
Edit: QUESTION - my screen is flickering (just installed SBEAN V6)... is that a bad install or did I have to fix permissions?
That pretty common in most JB rom but it usually goes away after few mins for me. You can go to settings and then developer options then disable hw overlay but you would need to do it on every boot because it won't stick after a reboot.
Btw you should check out official aokp-milestone-1 it not on here but Google aokp and download the one for our phone. Its pretty sick and stable.

I see a lot of people complaining about TWRP related issues with various versions of this recovery.
Is there any reason people don't talk about CWM around here? I've been using different versions of cwm touch and twrp ... And I'm honestly pretty happy with cwm.
Why does it appear that people avoid talking about cwm? ... If indeed it works as well as it seems to me that it does?
One reason is that a lot of people think it's better and recommend it to others. I used cwm on my old evo and was going to when I got my s3, but most people and roms were recommending twrp. I've been using it and have tried out cwm as well. For me, at least it hasn't been problematic, but I don't download them through the goo manager. As I feel like I have less control over what I'm getting (I don't even know what version I'm getting until after I download it). That, and I just don't trust the phone to download without errors even when on Wi-Fi.
Just my two cents.

I just actually switched to cwm a couple days ago because twrp had been giving me backup and restore problems.. everything twrp can do cwm does also, and it seems to be faster backing up and restoring also, but that might just be placebo... devs recommend twrp because that is what their Rom/kernel/mod was tested with... 99% of the time cwm will work just fine also

Actually, having used both, I think TWRP had been the better of the two because of the ease of naming your nandroids and the fact that backups in TWRP don't take up so much space as the CWM backups do. Have you seem the crazy Blobs folder in CWM? I like backing stuff up to the PC, but the CWM backups made that process extremely painful. I don't know what happened to make TWRP so unreliable recently, but I just noticed a newer version is out: 2.5.0.0

There's nothing bad about CWM, but is 2013 and you can't rename your nands which is very important(not necesary) in a phone which date as 1970. Also the touch version looks like a '90 recovery.
But if you want a issues free TWRP go back to 2.3.3.0.

If you update from goo manager, a pop up will tell you what version you are about to install beforehand. Also the webpage that it takes you to in order to start the auto download also states the name of the .IMG which also indicates version. I know what you mean about trusting downloads from the phone though. I personally think that is the reason a lot of people have issues with twrp. I've always updated to the latest twrp and flash almost daily, but have never had to switch versions because of bugs. All versions have ran perfect for me.

I've used both for quite a while. I used to only use cwm for the longest but decided to try out twrp because of those ridiculous blobs! What's with that? So I decided to try twrp and I've stayed because of all the little features like a warnings before you wipe things you shouldn't, option to flash more than one zip at once, option to clear cache and dalvik right after flashing, etc... Plus there are some pretty major features that get overlooked. Like the built in file browser. I installed miui once and it created a folder I could not delete and keep deleted. Every time I would reboot, it would come back. Twrp file browser deleted it and kept it deleted. The only thing I don't like about twrp is the system date and time being way off.
Edit: Lol. I've edited like 5 times because I keep wanting to add more info. Also, twrp doesn't take ages to fix permissions. As long as cwm takes, I can just do it manually

I've been on 2.4.0 and 2.4.4, and only had to do backups but haven't tried to restore yet, so after hearing all the war stories, I went back to 2.3.1.
UPDATE: I just upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.5.0, performed wipes, a backup and a restore and all went perfectly smooth. The only issue was the time was 2 hours behind what it should have been for US central, so I selected 2 hours ahead and chose military time (my preference) and I'm happy.

I'm on TWRP cause a lot of people were recommending it. Had Clockworkmod on my Xperia Play, It's good too. You can't really go wrong with either of those. But, I noticed with TWRP, it has a touch screen interface, it's a little clumsy in navigation and will take some getting used to, to browse directories, that's my only real complaint.
Clockworks free recovery, (i think they charge for their touchscreen version) is navigated usually by volume rocker, i prefer that than touch. I know i'm weird like that. =P

I've been using TWRP 2.5.0.2. for months without any issues.
2.6.0.0 has had issues of which I don't know if they've been resolved yet. There is a TWRP thread which you can always check out.
If you use Goo Manager to install TWRP, 2.6.0.0 will be installed by default. Then if you are having issues, you'll have to use ODIN and install 2.5.0.2.
To install TWRP 2.5.0.2 with ODIN, here is the file:
https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html

It seems like everyone, including me, is using some version of TWRP.

I've been using TWRP 2.5.0.2. for months without any issues.
2.6.0.0 has had issues of which I don't know if they've been resolved yet. There is a TWRP thread which you can always check out.
If you use Goo Manager to install TWRP, 2.6.0.0 will be installed by default. Then if you are having issues, you'll have to use ODIN and install 2.5.0.2.
To install TWRP 2.5.0.2 with ODIN, here is the file:

If you need the steps on how to install TWRP via ODIN, let me know

The only issue I seem with twrp 2.6.0.0
Is it takes an unusual amount of time for the recovery to boot up on the s4
Like 30 seconds..
And especially a long time on the gN2
Like a minute or so...

Phil's CWM Touch best cwm out there.
Philz Touch
I use Philz Touch on my S3 and S4. Highly customizable CWM with support for the Aroma File Browser.
I don't have any problems that I've noticed with TWRP 2.5.0.2 taking too long to load. I did also try philz touch but I found myself hitting the wrong stuff all the time. I almost wiped everything on my phone (including internal storage) lol. I noticed it was slower than TWRP when making backups also, takes a loooong time for me.

I thought I broke my phone when I put TWRP 2.6 on it. I rooted the phone with oudhs and right away wanted TWRP as that is what I use on all my Android devices. When it appeared hung at the splash screen I panicked. It was stuck trying to boot to recovery when powering on so I put oudhs back on with Odin. Glad to hear I can use an older version and will now get back in TWRP.

With TWRP 2.5.0.2, Recovery boot time is:
- 10s between vibrate & TeamWin screen
- 8s between TeamWin screen and Recovery screen
Total is approx. 18s
I use Quickboot to boot into Recovery:
- 6s between pressing Recovery and the vibrate alert.
Quickboot used to be quicker on my S3, which was about 2s instead of 6s..
Am I the only one who's on cwm? I've used twrp a lot and I switched over to cwm. At least for now.
