Installed TWRP...How do I remove CWM? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

How can I do this?
The 2 GB of space that blibs takes up is ridiculous...

Can you be more specific? Do I just delete the Clockworkmod folder and that's it? There's nothing in the root?

Did you use goo manager to install your twrp? I believe it removes it for you.... Cuz I don't see cwm files anywhere after in installed twrp with goo.

Yes I did. I still see clockworkmod folder in my file explorer with everything in there, but I don't think deleting that will completely remove cwm

CWM itself was removed off your phone upon installing TWRP with Goo Manager.
What you see is the folder in which backups are stored.
You can delete this folder.
If you doubt, just copy the clockworkmod folder to your PC before deleting it off your phone.

As said above twrp goes right over cwm what's left over is backups and other things not needed anymore. Those are safe to delete

I didn't know that, but I like the TWRPS interface better...
Thanks for the responses!

Hi. I am also in this predicament.
I had installed TWRP. Had issues with installing a ROM and installed CWM.
Was able to installed ROM using CWM.
Now I wanted to go back to TWRP more flexibility on my part like naming baks but even installing Goomanager, it does not have the "top right" option where I can install the recovery script.
Is there a way to reinstall TWRP without going back to stock and keeping my current ROM?
Thanks.

In Goomanager do you not see the option to install the script when you hit the menu button? That's where it was for me...

another twrp user yippe xD twrps the best recovery ive flashed cm 10 and many roms without a problem. Maybe you didnt follow flash instructions or what not... And yes delete all those nasty cwm blobs and **** they put when your done using it Go to goomanager and there should be an option for open recovery and that downloads and installs twrp for you

Yes, I had installed Goomanager but I dpnt see the option to install the script on the main page even on the top beside the search icon.

[Q] RomManager/CWM

I running CM7 (nightly 58) and I already have CWM flashed, but when I open ROM Manager, it claims I don't and wants to flash it for me. Is there any harm in doing this? I have CWM version 3.0.0.5 showing when I reboot, and ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 installed.
Maybe it wants you to update to the latest version? (3.0.0.8)
I don't know, I don't use rom manager..

It won't hurt to reflash on top of it, even if it is already flashed.
The other thing that could be happening, if you delete the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard it will ask you to reflash. It uses the folder to keep track of what version you have.
What it wants to do is flash 3.0.0.8. You can do it with no problems. If you want to switch back to 3.0.0.5, just go to the section at the bottom that shows all clockwork recoveries and choose one.

[Q] Rom Manager

Ok so I have Clockwork Mod V. 5
I just installed
Rom Manager so I could use it to update Clean GB easier.
It keeps wanting me to install clock work.
How do I get it to see its already there
Thanks.

It's not until you install it. Rom Manager keeps it's own official copy on your sd card to unpack each time. Install it.

Yup, I installed CWM via rom manager, then had to flash it from the older ver of CWM before I could fully use it. Kinda odd, but whatever works right?

No you didn't. Rom Manager uses it's own CWM and your phone via 3 finger has it's own recovery. If you want them to be the same THEN you have to flash CWM5 as well in whatever recovery is on your phone. ROM Managers CWM is on the sd card.

Ok SO I now have 2 versions of clock work ok no biggie.
but Rom manger says I currently have marcasaunt rom something or other installed but thats not what I actually have installed. any ideas?

If you simply flash 5.027 you will have 2 CWMs on your phone and they will be the same. As far as the ROM labeling what ROM are you on and did you flash Marcusant's speed up tweaks? That may have caused the labeling error. What does your phone say in About Phone?

You can just edit your build.prop and put your ROM's description on the line where it says marcusant.

No recovery

Im just did the root process. Snd everything is working great. I installed rom manager and used that to flash cwm recovery. It says I have it now installed. But when I reboot into recovery it goes into some sort of Android thing. I can't even make a backup. Any thoughts

Don't use ROM Manager to install recovery. It doesn't work properly.
Use the Auto Root package in the development sticky (also in my signature)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
I've heard that ROM Manager essentially boots a recovery over your actual recovery, so you don't really have a real one. Like sfhub said, use that auto root package and select C to get CWM on your phone

[Q] Installation aborted, what did I do wrong?

I downloaded CM 10.1 nightly build ( cm-10.1-20130130-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip ) and got the error Installation aborted. Did I do something wrong? I know it maybe a dumb question but... did I brick my phone??
This is what I got:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "
d2tmo" | | getprop ("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo"
E: Error in emmc/cm-10.1-20130130-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip

Installation aborted.
Did you edit your build prop before hand? and no you're not bricked.

Oh, that's good! No, I didn't edit my build prop. What is a build prop?
Oh boy, what recovery are you using? I'm pretty sure you are using an old version and need to update... besides the 1-30 nightly is loaded with bugs I've been reading. restore your nandroid and update your recovery and wait for the next nightly.

A little to over my head I guess. I think its clockworkmod recovery version 5 (CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5).
Restore my nandroid? I don't think I made a restore point, after the error I just went back and rebooted..
Was I supposed to do that?
It looks to be working, I rebooted twice and I don't think I messed it up. Though now I'm paranoid..

Yeah it's because you need to update cwm, make sure you flash the correct one.. And if its booting fine then you're ok, but you should always make a backup of a working ROM if your gonna do some tinkering with your phone as a safety precaution, it really bails you out at times

I'm in the process of backing up now. Is there anything special I need to do to upgrade my cwm recovery? I've heard updating cwm recovery could result in a soft brick, is that correct?
If you have rom manager just press update cwm.
(It actually says flash cwm)
If you don't have rom manager download it from the play store.
I wouldn't worry about bricking during this process

So the whole issue of installations being aborted is because of the outdated cwm.
I asked if it'll do a soft brick because I did a google search and came across multiple posts warning the use of Rom Manager. Any way to uninstall CWM and replace it with something else.
Yes to installation abortion.
To replace CWM, just flash another recovery over it.
You can just get TWRP from goomanager from the play store. Just flash it over and you'll be good to go.

Great... another error. Rooting isn't working out for me is it? Invalid MD5 sum from Goo Manager. What does that mean and what exactly can I do about it?
Nope, actually worked out after allowing download from unknown sources in security. Since I installed TWRP, can I delete the backup I made in clockworkmod recovery? I think its in my SD and its 3 GB. It titled "Clockworkmod" has folder titled "backup", then two folders "1970-04-23.05.07.43" and "1970-04-23.05.00.14".
I want to have space so that I can make a recovery using TWRP. I'm not sure if deleting this would cause more harm then not.

It worked, can I delete my Clockworkmod folder on my SD card? Its 3GB and I think its the backup I made before in clockwork. I'm afraid I might mess things up by deleting stuff, since I don't know what I'm doing. I want to delete that folder, go into TWRP and create a recovery.

It should be fine, its kind of big for just a back up though.. Make the backup with twrp first and check where it puts the back up at.. When I used 4ext recovery with my previous phone, it put the backups in the cwm folder for some reason

Thanks, you guys have been extremely helpful.
I'm about to install the rom now, I wanted your insight into if its a good rom and if I'm doing everything right.
- I've made a backup using TWRN
- Downloaded Titanium Backup, made another backup (Not sure what this will do)
- Changed Rom to AOKP Milestone 1 ( aokp_d2tmo_jb_milestone-1 )
- Downloaded Google Apps ( gapps-jb-20121212-signed )
Installation
- Run TWRN
- Going to wipe ( data/factory reset ) 3 times
- Going to wipe ( cache ) 3 times
- Select install zip from sdcard (First AOKP, then Google Apps)
- Reboot
Alright, does that look good to you? Do I have your blessings.

What's your opinion on AOKP nightly build JB-MR1 ( aokp_d2tmo_jb-mr1_build-2 ). I was looking into this because it has 4.2.1 jellybean and it was suggested I avoid CM 10.1 nightly.

Just download your new CWM I would recommend the touch version. Rename it to recovery.img and push it over using the commands you listed in the link above (step 20).

Do you have a nandroid backup of your rom? If not, what's your carrier? HONO has posted the original BELL and ATT img's as well IIRC.
Copy the recovery.img from it, and renaming recovery-backup.img to recovery.img -- backup your current rom before trying anything -- then reboot and try to install with rom manager as usual.

I wouldn't worry about it.. PM a moderator to delete them. It's not really a big deal. Most people probably just spam 10 posts to get out of the "New Member" usergroup anyways.
