Anyone having issues with either of these, I just had to warrenty my wifes phone, so when I got it back I rooted it no problem then of course first thing I want to do is a nandroid backup, so I flashed the newest cmw 6.0.1.5 it hangs on wipe cache, tried to reinsatll cmw a few times same thing. so then I installed twrp newest version, it installed and when I go into recovery(the screen with the twrp logo and gray background) I get the home screen with no options, again tried several times to install same issue, lastly I tried the touch version of CMW keep getting errors, cannot open cache etc. Any Ideas??? I really need to clear the cache between different roms, shouldnt have to use super wipe, besides have no clue where to find that anymore. Im personally on a sgs3 and all works well. I'm very familiar with bot of these as I flash non stop on my sgs3 but Huston we have a issue here! UGH
Thanks Rob
I would recommend that you odin clockworkmod tar so you can flash superuser zip from it. Once you have root/superuser, download goomanager via playstore. Run install script andbit will download then flash the latest TWRP by itself.
TWRP is the best recovery i have used.

I like twrp but I wish it had a better way of handling the backups, like the way ROM manager let's you..

I did this but twrp latest does not work as stated above, when in recovery the main screen shows up but no buttons, and cwm works fine but hangs on clear cache.

EDIT: I have fixed it by continuely running ROM Manager to reinstall 5.2.0.7, I did fix permissions then installed 5.2.0.7 and it works. However still having problems rebooting and shutting down, but i will fix that later
So recently i updated CWM. Then i ran into some issues, is that when i tried to do a date wipe and a cache wipe to do a clean install it wipes the user data fine but freezes on wipe /cache. i rebooted and tried again and
Sidenote: when I try to reboot or shutdown it gets stuck at the "shutting down" pop up and never fully shuts down/reboots
I am a bit afraid to try anything more right now
EDIT: I tried to get it into download mode, to maybe try to use odin to flash the older version of CWM. Problem is that i can't get it to go into download mode, and can't find a odin flashable CWM
you dont have any backups? are you on any current ROMs?
If so,
download clockwork recovery or ROM manager from the playstore
open it up
Allow super user permissions
Scroll down to the very bottom you will see a option that says "all clockworkmod recoveries"
Make sure you are on a WIFI for a good download
Choose the CWM 5.0.2.7 version, that one is more stable.. i hate the new one its gay as hell lol
Let it download itll need a good minute, try not to do anything else. you may have to try to download a few times if it freezes just be patient
once it downloads you are good to go and you can flash any ROM
let me know if you have more questions just PM me..
Hit thanks if this helped!

I am running AKOP Oct 1st nightly. I have backups with Titanium, and an older one for Nandroid backup. I launched ROM manager and tried to install the 5.0.2.7 version but ROM Manager seems to freeze and not work. I kill the app but it doesn't launch properly and only shows the title. I have to take out the battery and reboot to be able to launch ROM Manager up again. I think i may need to find a way to boot into Download and use odin to flash a new CWM and maybe the stock rooted ROM and go from there. I have to agree about the new CWM it is kinda a step back, wish i had looked it up before update.
I am going to PM you but I always like to have this out there in case anyone else is having the same issue or has had it.
for me...sometimes i cant get into recovery/download mode is because
i have a phone case and both buttons arent fully pressed. and as for the tar recovery
Odin T989 tar its a stable version
i recommend using twrp for now for more stability
i had a had a soft brick like everybody else using cwm 6.0.1.4 lol

I press both buttons and i end up in CWM 6.0.1.4. no case on the phone right now.
I have tried to download and install 5.2.0.7 though ROM Manager but it just freezes. This is what pops up right before it freezes http://i.imgur.com/1ryrP.png if it helps. I think ODIN may be the only way if i can make it boot to download that is.

yeah just flash the tar file thru odin and/or just flash over twrp (goomanager then go to the app>menu button>install openrecoveryscript)

My problem is that I can't get it to boot into download mode, that Odin needs it to be in for it to function. Pressing the volume buttons just makes it go into CWM.
I got it to reinstall 5.2.0.7. It took awhile but it looks like its still working. Just tested it out and it works. Now i know to not update CWM. What are the other recovery options that might be better then CWM?

EDIT: Does it still manage installation and wipeing of data and cache the same way as CWM?
Hey guys I'm new to the forum so please tolerate my lack of knowledge. I've already flashed a few s3's with roms, so I'm familiar with process. I bought another s3, installed cwm recovery with odin, and then went into recovery and flashed su. Rebooted and made sure it was rooted.
I then did something different, which was updated to newer cwm recovery using rom manager. I rebooted into recovery using rom manager. I went through all steps and flashed darthstalker v3 (I've already flashed this on other s3's successfully many times). I rebooted system, but instead of booting into rom it keeps booting back into recovery (cwm, not android recovery). I can get into download mode and flash stock rom with odin. I tried repeating process and used twrp instead of cwm, but still can't boot into rom. It keeps rebooting into recovery (cwm or twrp). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Try completely wiping your phone then PC Odin using root66 in download mode. Afterwards, let the phone sit for 15 minutes. Reboot the phone then download and install GooManager from the Play Store. Open the application and press the menu button to access the options. Press 'install openrecovery' and go through the installation process. You should now have no issue with your device.

I haven't tried it with a different rom, but I've repeated this process with different roms on several s3's. Only thing I did different was install cwm from rom manager. Thnx

Yes, before and after rom installation. Problem remains.

Will try that tomorrow. I got hasty and hardbricked it ((. Foolishly flashed exitrecovery.zip, not realizing it was only for LG! Getting it unbricked tomorrow, and will try your suggestion. Thnx.
Hi guys,
I'm having some issues with my phone. I am using ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 as my recovery. Here is what happened:
I was running the stable version of CM10 (10.0.0). I was having issues with random reboots and it was really laggy sometimes. To try and fix this, I wiped data, cache, davlik, and fixed permissions. After I did this, my phone was stuck in a bootloop. I couldn't get past the cyanogenmod loading screen. I booted into recovery, and restored my phone to a previous CM10 nightly that I had a backup of.
I then tried to flash CM10 again (10.0.0). I followed the steps here (note i did not use the dirty flash method):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754
Once I tried to boot, I was still stuck in a boot loop. So I recovered again to the CM 10 nightly. Now I was using the CM 10 nightly fine, and I was playing a game and the phone froze. I pulled the battery and when I rebooted, I could never get past the cyanogenmod loading screen. So I booted into recovery again. Before I restored again, I saw this error on the bottom:
E: error in /cache/recovery/last_log
I was still able to recover to the CM 10 nightly, and I have since rebooted my phone and it was fine (although it did take longer than normal to boot back up).
So I'm wondering if my recovery has become corrupted? I don't really know what I should do next. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Odin flash CWM, then flash TWRP, and ditch the scripts.
TWRP 2.3.1.1

Thanks for the reply. Should I flash the same version of CWM that I'm using now (5.0.2.7)? Or does that not matter?
Also, should we always be using TWRP instead of CWM? I have never used that before.

If you can flash, then just flash the file I provided. TWRP is more stable and used friendly. Ptmr3 recommendeds it. Just flash, reboot recovery and your good!! :thumbup:

This would work too right? I don't really trust my CWM since it didn't work when I flashed CM10

Yes, but, you have to use the image file, and be sure to rename it to the proper name. The TWRP image thru the TWRP website. Just double check its for our phone!!
If you want to keep using cwm, then you have to use darksidecachewipe after flashing, right before you reboot from cwm. The darksidesuperwipe script is used to factory wipe.
So before you leave cwm recovery screen flash DScachewipe zip, and should boot fine.
Loop dog is right, go to twrp recovery. Nice UI and no need for wipe scripts.

Thanks for the help guys. Has anyone installed TWRP using Goo Manager? The whole idea of Goo Manager sounds awesome, but one bug on their end would be bad for us.
I've used GooManager to install TWRP on numerous occasions. It has always worked great for upgrading to the latest version, replacing CWM with TWRP, etc.
I'm totally boggled here, I've never had problems like this. I've rooted my T-999, no problems there, but when I install CWM, either the non-touch or touch versions, it doesn't boot into that recovery. When you recovery boot, either manual or through ROM Manager, it just boots to the stock recovery. I've tried re-installing through ROM Manager and through Odin, to no avail. I'm pulling my hair out...help!
Just use the the root 66 method and then use goomanager to install twrp recovery. Did this process for my brothers S III last night over the phone.
I had the same problem before. Tried multiple ways but the cwm recovery will not stick, even though it appears working in Odin. Only way I got cwm recovery to install is by going back to an earlier version os.
You need to find an earlier version of factory stock jelly bean or better yet ics and flash it with Odin. Make sure it's a factory image. After that just root and install cwm recovery with Galaxy s3 toolkit. Then just install whatever rom you like.

Why do all that when you can flash the latest through ODIN; and get the correct partition tables setup, and that has root, and then install the recovery via an app? Seems more logical to me.

I was not aware you can install the recovery through an app. I'm not familiar with the process so maybe you can talk the op through it.
When I had my problem with the cwm recovery not sticking from Odin, it was when the jelly bean update was just release for T-Mobile. Just letting the op know that I had the same problem and how I got it working.

Okay I thought I was missing something. Ya the new update surprised me as well last night with ODIN not working to flash a recovery. It's available in CWM app ROM manager I prefer TWRP though which is available in GooManager via menu>Install OpenRecoveryScript>yes> so long as it says "2.4.1.0" and "D2TMO" then yes and boot recovery to install from there.
I followed mt3g's advice and did the root66 method and then installed via ROM Manager and I had success. Flashing a new ROM now. Thanks!
Cool bro.
Hey,
I recently rooted my SGS3 using odin which worked flawlessly. Thereafter I installed CWM and began the fun of trying out new roms... Tried slimbean which was just ok for me. I read that Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 was one of the best so I installed this on my device. My fop-aw here was I didn't know you needed to install the google apps before you flashed the rom. I tried to install an version of google play via sd card apk file, but when i open the app it imediately closes. Right now i am stuck with a rom with no way to install the apps I so dearly enjoy lol... So.... now for the problem, I can no longer get access to CWM to reflash the rom even when I do the whole power, volume, home like before. It goes to download mode instead of the CWM recovery. What can I do to remedy this situation. I only know as much as I have read so lets pretend i am a dumbass. lol
Thanks in advance,

Volume up + power + home = recovery. Volume down + power + home = download mode...
And u flash the gapps after u flash the ROM.
if you still have issues accessing cwm then I suggest you download Rom manager apk install it and flash cwm using it. I got cwm through Rom manager, but then I now flashed latest philz recovery.
use Rom manager to install recovery and cm10.1.3 is already rooted so u will have success
cheers
Thanks
Worked like a charm thank you very much for your time.
? though it worked but not.
After installing Rom manager I had it load up my recovery file. I clicked on the backup file and... It rebooted taking me to CWM recovery screen but with only few options to choose from: reboot system now, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partiion, apply update from cache... Obviously I am doing something way wrong. Any ideas?
Try starting Rom Manager and selecting boot into recovery.
