[Q] I messed my cwm recovery up >.< - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

okay long story short: i tried to install cwm touch (recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar), got a black screen on every recovery boot. installed regular cwm (CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.tar), got black screen. installed stock recovery, and that worked butI just want my old cwm recovery back that got installed when i rooted it. i also tried to install twrp touch and it got a black screen too. is there some simple fix that i'm missing?
p.s. i am running the october 10th cm10 nightly with leankernel

Odin twrp then use Rom manager for clock work mod.. Worked for me and I was having the same problem

Umm just for future reference, never flash something made for the international S3. It can brick your device. It has different hw and a different partition layout.

*Touch Recovery Causing BootLoops*

Hey Everyone
I opened this thread because I wanted to warn everyone that Touch Recovery made ALL my flashed ROM's bootloop, AND all my ported ROM's that worked, made them bootloop as well.
Sorry to hear that. Have never had a negative experience with touch recovery.

No problems here. Been using it for a while now
The only problems Touch Recovery gave me was properly flashing some ICS roms, and not properly flashing the CM9 Alpha. I was using the custom touch recovery, though, v5.5.0.4 beta 14.

So, overall, which touch recovery do most people use here safely? The 5.5.0.4 or the 5.8 one?

I use the official Touch Recovery installed from CWM app the day it came out and updates and all. Never have had an issue.
Flashed GB roms, ICS Roms. Cm 7. Restored, backedup.. and so on.
I don't get why it causes some people issues.

I do the same without problems. I would suggest you odin flash Twrp.
I think twrp is safe with darkside wipes but not cwm 6. Either way, I don't take chances and just made an auto wiper for me. I just got too used to having a zip wipe for me and it works great with the zip ordering thing in tarp. All done in one swipe.

[Q] Possible hwr problem need advice.

So here's my issue. My phone no longer allows me to flash roms from my external or internal sd card safely. What happens with every rom I flash is twofold. Data connection is always lost, and any reboot causes the phone to boot directly into download mode bypassing the odin flash page. The phone recovers from this with a simple odin back to stock. However, not being able to use non stock roms is no bueno to me.
Does this sound like some internal hwr problem? Is this an SD card issue? Would love some insite.
Which recovery are you using?

Using clockwork recovery current version
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Every ROM I flashed had some bugs and they started to multiply. I used Super Wipe and killed EVERYTHING.
I then loaded every zip onto my micro SD via my computer and put it in my phone. Flash and Go.
I went back to stock rooted MA7. The glitches were gone,
So my suggestion is to do a recovery of your first full backup or do what I did.
Okay will try super wipe tonight thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Or if that doesn't work use twrp.

Honestly after I Odin it I think Ill try twrp first. I think I've used the superwipe before

Okay, I can't find the thanks button for you guys. THis is the solution. Don't use CWM recovery. TWRP worked wonders, and because I didn't format recovery in cwm so superwipe would probably had helped as well
Glad its working now. I have never used cwm on this phone. But twrp has been smooth sailing.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Use twrp on my s3, and cwm on the wife's note 2. Never had a problem with cwm. Sounds like the problem was not doing a full wipe with cwm (and not a problem with the cwm recovery itself)? But, whatever works for you.

Your not alone with problems with TWRP. It constantly froze on my device I couldn't get into recovery. Luckily it unfroze long enough for me to install CWM touch. Since I've download cwm I haven't had a single problem with it. I download Rom Manager from the playstore and got my CWM touch downloaded and installed through Rom Manager. .it has not given me any trouble. But when I had twrp I had nothing but problems. Give cwm touch a try installed through Rom Manager.it worked Perfectly for me. It never freezes nor gives a blank black screen like TWRP did .TWRP froze my device completely and I couldn't even get out of it. Not even a battery pull would pull me out. I was very lucky it unfroze long enough for me to get CWM recovery touch installed through Rom Manager.many have reported similar issues with twrp. Try installing cwm touch through Rom Manager and see if that helps. It fixed all my issues. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Twrp wtf

Can you wipe data in recovery at all? As long as you can get into Download mode, there's always a way to save the device by flashing back to stock and starting again, so don't lose hope.
Let me try why is the twrp recovery touch not working

Honestly, I have never, ever had any luck with TWRP, and I've tried it many times on many devices. It looks great, but it's just not as reliable as the good old CWM recovery. This isn't to start a flame war with TWRP fans. I'm just stating my observations over the last few years of trying it.
I am with you I have been flashing for years this is the first time this has happened. Now I am in the process of going back to stock with a slow ass computer. Thanks
Sent from my GT-P5210 using xda app-developers app
If you can get into download mode by pressing both volume keys while plugging in the usb cable connected to your PC, then you are not bricked, just do a factory image flash and start over, it happens even to the more experienced.
I btw use CWM but I don't flash ROM's that much.
Erik
You also posted the same issue in at least 3 different posts. Limit it to one post and you might get more response.
I had that happen with one of the TWRP files floating around here. If you wanna use TWRP, you need the hacked e986 one which works splendidly on my e980. Hardcore CWM fan, myself, but I love the ease of just using the touch screen.

If you have an SD card you can download the CWM .zip from here, put it on your card and flash that from within TWRP. Then you just have to reboot the recovery, wipe and restore. This is the CWM included in FreeGee. I personally tested this version for @Shelnutt2 a while back and have used the .zip a few times, since.
I did it and it worked thanks

Just a question..... Freegee installs 2.6.1.0 TWRP, what is the difference btw this and hacked madmack TWRP?
