I haven't done much with my phone lately and I'm thinking about updating my software cause of some issues.
I was thinking about using the PARANOIDandroid 2.99 and it said I should update my recovery version and I was wondering how I should do that?
Any point in the right direction would be cool. I'm not a noob just out of date.
download goo manager and use it to flash the latest twrp or you could get the zip file posted in the twrp thread and flash that in recovery then reboot..
I believe officially, twrp doesn't supply flashable zips; if downloaded from their website, you'll have to use fastboot.

I updated my recovery trough the ROM manager app. Its an easy way, just press flash CWM. Works perfectly for me.

Goo manager is the same thing as ROM manager, only its free and flashes a much better recovery.
Go with twrp

Just S-OFF'd and rooted my wife's Inc2. Does anyone know if it is ok to use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork Recovery after using the Revolutionary tool to install their custom Clockwork Recovery? The reason I want to is because ROM Manager doesn't seem to recognize the Revolutionary CW Recovery that their tool installs.
Does it work? Will it ruin recovery? What's the story?
Revolutionary doesnt push SU unless they updated it to. And you need root to flash recovery with rom manager. If you cant get recovery installed with revolutionary, youll have to install it with fastboot.

Thanks Times,
I used their tool which (after S-OFF) pushes a custom clockwork recovery which I then used that to flash SU onto it. But now I was wondering if it was ok to use ROM Manager to push a clockwork recovery that it could recognize. But it looks like Beenz was able to with success, just looking to see what others have done or know.
Thanks!
I also have the CWM installed by Revolutionary. In ROM Manager, go to menu --> manual flash override. I've been using it with no problems without having to reflash CWM. The only drawback is that every time ROM Manager starts up, it tells me that there is an newer version of CWM available. Not the end of the world.
So reflash or don't, works either way.
Thanks xenakis.

Is there a flashable CWM touch edition that I can download the zip and flash in CWM to get back to the touch edition. I stupidly messed up and flashed the recovery from rom manager

It's in ROM Manager. Just re-flash it.
This may be cheap of me but it tells me that a touch edition is available for $1.99. Does it give you the touch edition free if you upgrade to ROM manager paid?

Not sure. I don't use the touch version, nor do I use ROM Manager. If it's not free, then I guess you shouldn't really be asking for it.
download the recovery from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
use fastboot to flash it.
Thank you. But when you say use fast boot to flash it, would I need a computer or do I flash it through the current CWM
youd need a computer.
No computer needed.
1. Download .IMG
2. Place file on root of sdcard
3. (Optional) rename file recovery.img
4. In terminal,
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

or try the g-nex toolkit, takes some of the technical guesswork out of it for you...

I'm on a 4.1 .2 ROM and I'm using rom manager recovery what recovery do I need if I want to use 4.2 and what if I already have a recovery can I use two at the same time.or do I need to delet rom manager.
I have read that the newest ClockworkMod Recovery will not create the nested "/0" folders.
I recommend using the latest TWRP though.
You can update ClockworkMod from ROM Manager or you can install TWRP from the GooManager app.

Yes it will overwrite. You just need to flash it. And yes twrp works with 4.1.2

I installed clockwork mod recovery from rom manager, is it possible to switch that for twrp and if so how?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Go into Doc's thread stickied in Dev section and download the TWRP.zip and flash it. Yep, that easy.
Or you can install Goomanager from market and install recovery that way. You may incur some overwrite issues. Maybe not though.
So just picked up a new Galaxy S3 AT&T as my old one had a cracked LCD. I rooted using Odin, boot into recovery Clockwork Recovery, installed superuser and rebooted. Afterwards I tried to go back into the clockwork mod recovery to install roms but instead of CWM I was greeted with the factory android recovery screen instead.. I tried rooting a few times, each time shows clockwork mod recovery but after a reboot it reverted. This use to work on my previous galaxy but this new one isnt taking it..
version 4.1.2 Just got it yesterday.. Any idea?

This is not the AT&T galaxy s3 forum. This is the GT-i9300 (international) forum. Top of teh screen is a "type to find your device" box, which you can use to locate the correct forum.
Or better yet, use the /!\ report button to the top right of your post to report it for a moderator to move it to the correct location.
Lol I did not read your post right :silly:
I do apologize I thought this was the US carrier.

Thread moved to AT&T Q&A.
Check for a file named /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on your system partition. That will try to replace the recovery when the phone starts in case it has been corrupted.
Try booting to recovery with Rom manager.

I've tried doing it this way. I have both clockworkmod recovery and Team Win Recovery Project just now.. clockworkmod works via rom manager but TWRP does not.. hmm booting into TWRP takes me back to the default android recovery
Root phone, install super user, restart phone, download rom manager, install latest cwm recovery, reboot in recovery, press reboot phone, disable flash of stock recovery, problem solved.
