[Q] Rogers CWM

Hi, I have a SG3 from Rogers Canada , already root and CWM 5.???? Is the version 6 is compatible and how I do the upgrade?
Thank you
Daniel

You need to do a little research before posting..... the thread right under yours is about the same thing!
Anyway here is the answer but search next time
Download your version of cwm there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
Download terminal emulator from the play store. Run the terminal
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Type everything right. If you get the last number wrong, you get a brick.
I did this on my phone to install cwm touch without any issues

This is scary. Is there a way to flash it using ODIN by taring the .img file?

I'm inclined to agree with the post above yours about reading a little more. Its all over this forum that all the phones hosted in here are the same EXCEPT the modems, therefore the recoveries are interchangable between the different carriers. If this doesn't clear things up then I would suggest you not flash your phone.

This sentence prove you are not ready to flash a new recovery. I don't say this to be mean, I'm sure you don't want to brick your phone! Read some more in the general section, it may help you.
However if you want to safely upgrade your recovery: you can download ROM manager from the play store to get cwm or goo manager to get twrp.

OTA broke root procedure?

I've been trying to root my TMo GS3 since about 445am this morning. I can get into download mode, I can flash the .TAR. Phone reboots fine, When I reboot into recovery, I get the stock recovery every time. I've tried a few different versions of CWM and TW and I get the same thing every time, Nothing. I bought this phone used, 2 weeks old, and it has 4.04 on it. Anybody have any insight for me? This is not my first time tinkering either. I've been here since the Sprint Mogul, and I can usually get it figured out. But this time, I'm stumped. Any help?
ADDED: I've also tried "Flashed with ODIN agian, latest CWM Touch 6.0.1.2, deselected AUTO REBOOT and F. Reset TIme, waited for it to PASS installation, pulled battery " and it still DID NOT WORK. Got that from here http://androidandme.com/thread/att-galaxy-s3-wont-boot-into-clockworkmod-recovery/

no problem just odin it with auto reboot on

all you guys posting to move thread or close thread you know xda has a "report button" that works faster?

Strange but are you using the right usb cable? I had similar issue with odin not pushing through with root cause I was using my galaxy s2 cable. I switched it to my s3 cable and odin pushed through and have root from stock

UPDATE...I used this method and it worked
I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

You've mention u like doing it manually I assume that meant via terminal, there should be a tar if u search the threads or someone running Linux can package it.

I've searched the thread but the only one I've found was for an asus transformer. I don't know If it will work for the galaxy s3.
It says recovery touch 6.0.1.4.

Post 7, probably the easiest way to do it. Just type carefully.

Don't flash that unless u want a paper weight use the terminal instead this way u don't need to rely on a tar and it takes 2 seconds
_Su
_dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
_Reboot recovery

I would also recommend backing up the stock recovery, just in case something happens. Ya never know...

Go to dev section. Go to TWRP 2.3.3.0 thread. Download the .zip file in the OP. Flash it when you are in CWM.
You did the impossible and now you will always go into TWRP.

Go here

Hey hey hey yuyuyuyu1 why not thank cricketAC he gave you the same answer as LoopDogg... that aint right! His answer is 100% correct only thing he did not do is hold your hand with a link. No disrespect to LoopDogg at all.
A little research and reading and in any recovery thread would of given you the answer and too me its so much more gratifying when you figure stuff out for yourself and honestly going from one recovery to another is as simple if not simpler than flashing a rom. Remember though you can not restore from another recovery...

I'm planning to replace CWR with TWRP and ROM Manager with GooManager. After I install GooManager and TWRP, will I need to manually delete the backups made by CWR (blobs etc.)?

Yes, if you want space on your internal storage (or wherever you're storing them). Better off deleting them because they're not compatible anyways.
Just delete the clockwork folder in your internal storage or SD card.

So is Twrp actually the better recovery to use as apposed to cwm?

I've personally found TWRP to be more consistent than CWM's touch interface... (use it on ~ 3 devices a this point... T989, T999, and hp touchpad..)
Works pretty well...

It's all up to preference honestly. I haven't had any issues with all the available recoveries but I prefer CWM 5.0.2.7 because of the Darkside scripts. (They were made specifically for CWM 5.0.2.7, but also work with TWRP last time I checked.) Never had an issue with the recovery and all the ROMs I've flashed have all worked perfectly well.

Good advice re: deleting CWM
I tried to flash a CWM recovery (not realizing it was a CWM recovery) with TWRP, and it was a mess.
I agree re: figuring it out for yourself. (I de-bricked my KF2 yesterday, thanks to a Xubuntu - Adb tutorial.)
You guys are lifesavers for Noobs like me.

If you're rooted you should be able to install rom manager, and then install CWM from there.

im already on CWM but i want the official through rom manager. i flashed a recoveryimg. from the odin flashable thread

If you install Rom Manager while rooted, go into the app, it should install the official CWM over your current install.

I loved TWRP when I was on the S3, but on the S4 it appears to be too sensitive. When I try to install a zip file and scroll down the list of folder using my finger it will enter that folder i did not pick.

Great, I'll switch back when that is fixed. Right now I am using the OUDHS CWM based Recovery cause the text is readable. The text in the regular CWM is too tiny to read, I have to use a magnifying glass to read the options

Yes, there is an issue with that since the touch screen is so much more sensitive on the S4, but it will be fixed soon. Team Win is working on it.
