Ask in tmobile s2 forum, not here. And not in development forum, but in Q&A forum.

I'm not sure how to uninstall clockwork, but if you're looking to switch to TWRP, you can just install it from Goo Manager ( should overwrite CWM ). I think it's the install open recovery script option.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my T-Mobile Galaxy S2.

You can't "uninstall" a recovery. The best you can do is overwrite it. Options are to reinstall cwm, install twrp (goo manager should be fine for this), or revert to stock rom using odin to get stock recovery back. I personally recommend twrp. To me there are too many cwm clones/branches/versions, and most have some sort of problem. Never had a problem not using "super wipes" on twrp.

[Q] Installed Clockworkmod from Market. Same as Odin?

I just rooted my phone using Zedomax's guide and I want to flash the Starburst ROM but I downloaded Clockworkmod in the market. Is it the same as using Odin to install Clockworkmod? Will I run into any issues using Clockworkmod from the Market?
Clockworkmod recovery is what you need to get and it is not available in the market. You will need to use Odin to flash one of the kernels in the development section that has Clockwork included. After that, you can use it instead of Odin for almost all flashing needs.

I got confused with thos 2(rom manager and clockworkmod) but i used the market one to flash backup and restore with no issues.

What you downloaded from the market is ROM Manager from the same person he maintains the official versions of Clockworkmod. It integrates with CWM to allow for easier flashing of custom ROMs and what not. Unfortuantely the E4GT is still not officially support so you will have to use CWM manually for the time being.

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery Help!

Hi i am trying to install CWM Recovery for my galaxy w but can someone tell me the difference between installing CWM like this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593) and installing it by downloading ROM Manager from the market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en) and use the option Flash CWM Recovery as seen in the first app screenshot.
Head to Dev section there is a thread on ClockworkMod Recovery esp. made by arco68...use the Odin method.
Flashing via ROM Manager is not advisable yet....

Better not use the ROM Manager App method, unless somebody confirmed it is working.
I bricked my Galaxy Ace a year ago using that method when I didn't know better.
When you try to do it via the CWM application you get a list of supported devices.
You will not find the wonder in there, trying to use other device will probably end you up with a brick.
I have tried the recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ancora.zip by using adb shell method. It works without any problem.

whats twrp??? can i get the link or the full name so i can search it on g play store ?
Just google that.. isnt that outdated?? how do i make rom manager to work?
Here is link to twrp recovery. It is more advanced than cwm. You will have to mess around to find out where everything is in it. But its nice since you can flash multiple files at once.

I have clock world recovery installed during my root process and I am able to use it manually how ever when I attempt to use rom manager its asking me to install it again but it's not giving me the option to select s3 for at&t, and when I try to install a rom manually via recovery mode its saying aborted.

i had a similar issue to this a couple days ago. i was getting install aborted status error 7 when trying to flash cm9 nightly. i updated my cwm to the latest version (5.8.4.7) and it worked perfectly. also note that when flashing with cwm v5.8.4.7 you have to flash from internal sdcard. (i got confused by that because i usually flash from external)

Cwm on sg3 not working properly?

Hi,
I'm experiencing some issues with cwm recovery. When I try to do anything in rom manager it says that I must have cwm recovery installed but when I try to flash cwm recovery via rom manager my phone isn't listed (sg3 att) I have the latest version straight from Google play.
I would greatly appreciate some assistance with this very annoying problem.
Thnk you!
Steve.

Get twrp does the same exact thing but a better ui and everything!!! Install goo manager and just choose a random rom to flash (you dont really have to flash the rom) its just so it prompts you to ask if you have a custom recovery say no and it will install twrp! Trust me on this one TWRP is one flawless custom recovery and always seems to work with me
Hey thanks for that reply. Just a couple of questions. I went ahead and installed twrp recovery and you're right its very easy to use. I tried flashing cm10 stable (at&t) on Rogers sg3 and I keep getting error 7. I factory reset the phone just like I would have with cwm.
Also, while in twrp when I select browse all compatible rims nothing comes up.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.

Wierd. CM10 always says Cwm is the only one that works to flash its rom .. but its wierd cuz i flashed cm10 perfectly with twrp many times before
Heres a thread to fix your error 7 though.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932975
Did you install ROM Manager from the market (Play Store)? EDIT: Just re-read your OP stating that you did a fresh install. At any rate, it should work fine, there is an option to select the AT&T version of the S3 (see attached screen shot).
TWRP is good too, I'm just more accustomed to cwm so I tend to stick with it.

I had the same issue as you. I'm on a Rogers GS3 and the S3 ATT wasn't showing up in the Rom Manager menu.
I installed CWM using this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
I then had to update CWM to a more current version using these instructions: http://andr0idtech.blogspot.ca/2012/09/how-to-install-latest-clockworkmod.html
Once I updated CWM I was able to flash CM10 with no problems.

That is weird!
The "S3 (AT&T)" shows up in your screenshot but it is nowhere in sight on my copy of CWM... (Bell S3)
I am running ROM Manager Premium v5.0.2.4 (current version, no?) and yet, the phone model list skips from the "Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G", to the "Samsung Galaxy S3 (MetroPCS)" and then on to the "Samsung Skyrocket"...
Could this be a regional lock sort of thing? or maybe CWM differentiates between the i747 and the i747m ? Either way, it is NOT showing up in the list...
Any thoughts??

If you really want cwm use this toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665 Only for your att Galaxy s III though make sure its the right device that you flash it on !!!!
Well after ALOT of trial and error(which thankfully did not result in a bricked phone) and the helpful comments I finally got CM10 intalled!
Thank you for all the help and comments!
Steve
Cm10 has a check in it that looks for d2att, doesn't it? I think that's why you guys get that error when flashing.

Only issue I have had with cwm is that fix permissions doesnt work. It just sits on it saying fixing for forever.

[Q] Custom Recovery options - non "Touch" 4.1.2

Recently i have upgraded my phone, have rooted it, and gotten all my apps installed. im having a bit of trouble locating a non "touch" recovery for my device. My previous phone was a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2(Epic 4G Touch) and i had AGAT recovery installed. im running a rooted stock rom and can flash recoveries from mobile odin.
does anyone know of, or have any suggestions for a non "touch" recovery that looks like(or is) AGAT on my s2?

Okay so does anyone have any options for a custom recovery for galaxy s3 that doesn't have touch

You can use volume buttons with cm touch, plus I believe there is a regular cm version for our phone.

thanks for the link. for some reason i couldnt find any recoveries when i searched, or at least any singular ones. and the faqs thread never popped up in my searches. your link eventually led me to a recovery that i was able to flash from odin and allow me to update to the newest one.
now i was under the impression that all of CWM recoveries were touch only, and the same with TWRP. im not sure about TWRP, but i know now that CWM has both touch and non touch.
As far as I know TWRP for the SGS3 is Touch only.
