Which Recovey Do You Guys Think is Best CWM or TWRP?
I'm using TWRP because it's what I've used on my prior HTC devices and I'm familiar with it. I've read that 4EXT recovery might be available for our phones soon, and I'll switch to that if it becomes available.
Keep calm and flash on...

+1 on 4EXT, That's by far my favorite recovery:good:
Where did you hear that it was coming to the sgs3?
I emailed madmaxx on it and he said he was really busy with allot of other models and he would look into our sgs3's since it's a popular device.
Hopefully we will see it soon:fingers-crossed:
CWM is great, but TWRP is just awesome.
For me, TWRP has these little things that just make sense, like a link to wipe dalvik/cache right after you flash something, option to queue up multiple zips to flash in a certain order, option to compress your backups (because they do end up taking quite a bit of space if you have multiple backups), etc.

I believe I read on their site that they may begin working in it at a future date. I'm satisfied with TWRP, but I'm hopeful that 4EXT is "in the cards" so to speak.
Edit: it appears like they want to start working on the international version of the SGS3. Hopefully we might me able to sway them towards working on the stateside version first.
Keep calm and flash on...

Tried TWRP once upon a time and couldn't adjust.
Ended up reverting to CWM Touch.
It just works for me.
Sorry i was just too excited.... lol

I like twrp personally. Layouts better and easier to use. Plus it has a built in file manager.
Cwm has the ability to prevent itself from being overwritten after ota update but there's other ways around this.
They are both good recoveries imo, just personal preference.

I prefer twrp (only when 4ext isn't available). I talked to madmaxx82 and he was in middle of a complete redesign/overhaul on the UI of 4ext when started having computer issues. Then he did say we r on the list. I was his beta tester for the HTC Amaze. He prefers the HTC devices so I assume will be doing those first.

If I wanted to switch from CWM touch to TWRP, can I just flash the twrp using goomanager? Also, if I do change do the backups from CWM work fine for TWRP?

Yes, install goo manager from the playstore and install recovery from there. No you will not be able to restore any backup made with CWM in TWRP.
Thanks for the quick answer. I think I'll just stick with CWM for now. I'd love to see EXT for us, I had that for the sensation and loved it and was a bit disappointed to find there wasn't a version here.

I have been a loyal CWM user since MT3g days, then I tried TWRP on my SGS3 and have not looked backed. I love the UI better, everything just seems a lot faster in TWRP to me.

So is it possible to flash a rom without an sd card installed from cwm recovery? Thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom to see if it helps with my messaging issues. If so can someone explain his? I would think when I wipe in recovery it would wipe the rom off of my phone correct?

You can't root without an SD card in the first place, atleast I don't think you can do it on the GS3

Sure you can root a Sprint SGS3 without an external SD card. I did it, just used heimdall to flash TWRP (sudo heimdall flash --recovery TWRP.img) and then booted into it to TWRP and flashed TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5
Would be similar on Windows, would just use Odin and its TWRP or CWM image.
No SD card was required, just used adb push to get the file on the phone. Ironically enough to the *cough* /sdcard directory on the phones _internal_ storage ..
Also remember some of the most hackable Rooted, Custom ROM supported devices don't even have external storage --> Nexus7 for Example *Grin*..
Have flashing fun ! :victory:

Thank you for confirming this. I actually thought about that after posting that.
Well actually I wasn't even talking about rooting. Was going to follow the step by step in the general wiki to root, was actually talking about flashing a rom after I have root and cwm or twrp recovery. Btw what are the difference between the two recoveries?

Too many to list. Most prefer twrp but i would suggest you try both and pick yourself. Easiest root method assuming you use windows is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812. Once you have root use rom manager to get cwm or goo manager to get twrp. You can flash one recovery from inside the other and all available recoveries can be found here http://goo.im/devs/billard412/Flashable_recovery_US_GS3 in recovery flashable form.
Or here for flashing in odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900492
Well can you tell me how to put a file on my phone without a SD card and flash it without it wiping when I do a wipe before I flash? That's what I don't understand. Am I going to be able to flash roms in cwm or twrp without having a SD card. Like can I put then somewhere on my phones internal memory that won't get erased when I do a wipe to install a new rom.

Your internal storage does not get touched by a wipe in cwm/twrp. Only stock recovery will wipe your storage so just load up the file you intend to flash then factory reset and flash.
TWRP Is alot easier to navigate in my opinion, and a lot easier to download..
So my best bet is use your one click root, then install twrp or cwm via the playstire apps. Then I am free to wipe and flash any rom I want. Place it on my internal memory on my phone and flash away. Sorry just had evo and hero and never had to deal with Odin and some of these things. Thanks for your help
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Well odins not bad and ya the root method i linked you takes about 30 seconds and once you have root you use the apps to gain recovery and find roms. And as guidence so you dont need to worry about wiping your card on accident heres a picture to reference if need be
And if you're not familiar with odin use the attached version of it to make stuff much easier and keep it handy as Odin will be your best friend when you inevitably have that first soft brick

Easier to navigate? CWM has a touch version too. And easier to download? Each has at least one dedicated app to do it with ease. And while twrp has its perks i think it causes problems and there is still too much stuff out there that needs cwm and wont flash right with twrp. Thats why i told the op to try both and not go just based on opinions
Billiard, to root should I go with your one click root or the one in the general sticky thread? I was planning on using the other one so I could get used to Odin but does either have and advantage? They do the same thing right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I could be wrong but i believe the one youre referring too is where u flash a recovery in odin. Pull battery then boot to recovery, and flash a root zip in recovery. Ill double check but i mean the end result will be the same but that method tends to be a PIA with a bunch of extra steps. The one i linked you does all of the work for you. I think its as easy as it gets for someone knew to rooting the s3. Chainfire is a beast
---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------
Ya I just checked I was right. Not talking down on skunkapes method but thats too many steps i think my method is way easier. And with my custom odin i linked above you dont have to worry about checking boxes and what not i modded my version of odin to have only whats needed.
Thanks man. Going to try and do it all tomorrow morning. Will hit u up if I have some questions.

For those of you that prefer CWM over TWRP, today is your lucky day. CWM Recovery has been officially released for the Tmobile Galaxy Note 2.
Instructions for flashing via mobile Odin:
I'm not responsible if you bork your phone. If you are unsure of what you are doing, simply download and install directly from ROM Manager.
1) Always create a backup
2) Download the recovery of your choice (Touch or Non-Touch)
3) Download and install Mobile Odin from the Google Play Store
4) Rename the recovery imagines to "recovery" without the quotes, and copy to your phone (internal memory or extSDCard)
5) Load up Mobile Odin and grant SU permission and download files as instructed to update for this device.
6) Simply select "Recovery" and browse to the recovery.img file on your phone.
7) Scroll down and select "Flash Firmware"
That's about it.
If you want to flash via terminal use the following command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
ALL CREDIT GOES TO KOUSH. Check out his site here
CWM Touch v6.0.2.5
CWM non-touch v6.0.2.4
I was hoping for official CWM recovery for our Note II variant and voila, here it is! No more needing to install the GT-N7100 versions!! Hopefully, these bugs get fixed soon.
And that's why you shouldn't "hurry up and be the first one to post" something before even testing it's functionality.

That version of CWM is intended for the international Note II (GT-N7100) and not ours. Even though it works with our phones (running 6.0.1.9), it'd be more preferred to have a recovery that supports our variant version.
I have also been using CWM since day1 with the note 2...... not sure what all the fuss is about.

Thanks for the post. Is there a reason to upgrade from the 7100 CWM recovery that's already on my phone?
Have you guys tried TWRP ?? It's pretty damn robust. I switched from CWM ever since I got the Note 2 and haven't looked back. The dev updates it pretty regularly which is a definite plus.
I've been running TWRP for a while. I preferred the touch screen interface but I know CWM has it as well. Is there any major difference between the two? From my understanding CWM has been around longer but other than that I don't know if there is any difference. Is there a benefit of either or is it just a personal preference at this point? Either way, thanks to the Op for letting others know.

I haven't used T889 CMW so can't compare the two precisely, but the 7100 CMW didn't backup efs partition and stuff whereas TWRP does. And that alone was enough for me to switch.

Koush is extremely talented no doubt about that, but things have changed. Rom manager used to be great before 4.0. Now everything has become so mainstream and easy. The shelf life of that app is beyond over. Apps don't last forever. Sometimes it's because of os evolution and other times it's because of dwindling interest on the dev's part . That's how new apps are released.

TWRP Bootloop
I've been usin TWRP for the longest time, on my sgs III and Note II. All of a sudden last week I go into recovery to flash an add on and I get a boot loop in TWRP. Couldn't even pull battery and boot system back. Had to odin CWM, then I updated the TWRP script and would still get a bootloop. So I odin'd back to CWM again and staying for the time bein.
Anyone have any idea why this would happen?

Hello,
So I've been rooted for a while now, i was going to install a custom rom but decided not to a few months ago. Tonight, i decided to install aokp, however my phone would not go into cwm, only stock recover. I could have sworn it was installed, but fine, so i installed it once again with auto reboot in odin checked, and it still wouldnt enter cwm. I then tried to install it again with auto reboot checked off so i could see if i could enter it without the reboot. I ended up getting into it, but then when i was taking a NANDROID, it just froze on one of the first steps. Fine, reboot, try to enter cwm again. Nope, just stock android recovery. I am sure im installing it correctly and pressing the right button combos. I am at a total loss for what is stopping me from being able to enter cwm. I hope you guys know/help me find whats going on.
Thanks!!!

maybe you didn't actually "root" your phone to begin with lol
are you sure you have "superuser" or "superSU" app?
anyways to get CWM or TWRP recovery you need
find a up-to-date CWM or TWRP (if i spell teamwin recovery correctly)
download it
put your phone in ODIN Mode (download mode) by power + vol down + home
flash the recovery
i personally think twrp is better
they just released a new version which support ExFat
and all you need is just use terminal on your phone to install it.

Stock ROM has a built in script that reloads standard android recovery when it boots. The only way to keep it is to keep Odin auto reboot unchecked, boot directly in and make your nandroid/flash custom. Once you are on a custom ROM CWM will stick.
On a side note TWRP is a very nice recovery and many people find it much easier to use. If you insist on CWM, make sure you have the latest version. You might need to flash CWM again if you had a bad flash. It shouldn't freeze up on a nandroid.
Many people never experienced this because they flashed during early ICS when the device was released. The change was an update just before JB was released which caused this little annoying script to appear.

Thankyou!! That makes sense ;p. When I did get to start making a nandroid last night but it froze, right before it froze it said the free space on my sdcard was 1612 mb (or something like that) This is wrong, I have the 16gb i747 so I have 11.95 gb of usable storage for apps and such, after deleting some big apps I have 4.93 gb available, my sdcard is a 16 gb sdcard which has 12.06 gb available. Do the math and I have enough room on my sdcard for a nandroid, so what could be causing cwm to freeze and report false information?

what version of CWM are you currently running?
you could always try to download GooManager or ROM Manager from the Play Store.
then from one of those, install the custom recovery, GooManager for TWRP or ROM Manager for CWM.

CWM is very very funny and one of the reasons I switched to TWRP was for stability
In my experience errors come up on restoring images when 1) you don't use the same version you backed up the image with 2) you don't get to CWM through the same method you used while making the image (ie through ROM manager with your phone on).

This.
Also, I was a long time CWM touch user on my old NS. After using TWRP on this phone, I will never look back at CWM. TWRP is much more user friendly. Give it a shot OP unless you're adamant in using CWM. Again, update your recovery.
Download rom manager and update your cwm and then try making a nandroid again.

Holy hell! CWM 3.0 is still around? Like RP said, you're recovery is severely outdated.
This.
Also, I was a long time CWM touch user on my old NS. After using TWRP on this phone, I will never look back at CWM. TWRP is much more user friendly. Give it a shot OP unless you're adamant in using CWM. Again, update your recovery.

I was also a CWM user, but after I got my s3 and my first flash of CWM on the s3 hard bricked my phone, I decided to use TWRP. Little did I know I was missing out on what TWRP had to offer. I won't ever turn back to CWM again lol.
That said... If you insist in CWM, this is the guide I followed to get a successful CWM flash. (This was the CWM I was running successfully for the brief time TWRP disbanded.)

The above is for the ATT variant only. If you have a different variant and can't find the link, post back and I'll find it for you

apparently it's still around because new android users who want to root use those guides with outdated files

Preach brother!
I saw on a thread that someone was using "Multiboot" to run CM11 as their daily driver but also having TW on it to use for WiFi calling and such.... I want to ask:
Was this a fib?
If not then how can I do it?
Is there a guide I can look at?
If it is possible then I would like to run CM11 and TW 4.1.2, I already have the images and ODIN for that. I never updated to 4.3 so I don't think that is a problem?
If you have help please quote my post so I can get a handy email of the response ^-^
Thanks

Good morning.
This describes me. I use CM as my daily driver but I use z999 Touchwiz ROM as a backup for the wifi calling.
Quick questions: are you rooted? Have you flashed a custom ROM/recovery before? Your answers will help me in answering your questions on how to do.

Yes I'm rooted, have CM11 installed with the latest CWM recovery.

Simply follow this thread
It only took a quick search of "multiboot" in development to find this thread.

Get the AT&T version 2.12 - it has a fix in it for the External SD card that appeared in 2.11. While it's an AT&T recovery, it'll work fine on our phones as the TMO and AT&T S3 are the same phones.
Once you have the file, flash it via CWM and you'll have a MultiBoot TWRP as your recovery. The thread for the MultiBoot Recovery has a couple of Youtube videos that walk through setting up additional ROMs. I'm currently using z999 (Odexed 4.1.2 TW ROM) as my backup ROM to use for Wi-Fi calling.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you, I'll try this tonight. I searched multiboot online but didn't find anything and Tapatalk doesn't have a good search function :/

I have a question. This external SD Care problem, what was it? Was it an issue with the card getting unmounted? Or was it another issue?

For some reason, on the 2.11 version, I couldn't get the secondary ROM to see my external SD card. I backup all of my apps there - it was a pain to copy my backups to the internal SD card. There were a lot of comments about the issue on the AT&T forum and the developer put out a new version (2.12). However, he never put out a version for d2tmo - only d2att. So, I messed around with the install script and loaded the newer recovery on my phone. External SD problem solved.

Okay so I am researching how to do it and I believe I understand BUT the T-mobile TW file I have has to be flashed through ODIN, it's not a zip, and I want CM to be my stock ROM. So I was searching for a 4.1.2 TW rom (I prefer that version) and couldn't find any zip files...
Do you know how to help me? Do you know where to find a stock .zip flashable through recovery?
I followed all the instructions to use multiboot and I got the z999 touchwiz rom on there but then it wouldn't "find" my CM rom that was already on there so I ended up formatting and having no OS, so I tried to sideload but the multiboot stuff messed it up so I'm using ODIN to go back to stock >.> this has failed miserably.

The multi boot recovery won't "find" your CM ROM - it will always be the "internal" ROM. Multi boot will only show secondary ROMs in the multi boot menu. Anytime you want to boot CM, just boot the internal ROM.
Give me some time and I'll do a video on how to set up multiple ROMs.

Thank you! I'm gonna try it again today and see how it goes. Maybe I got confused because when I rebooted the phone it booted TW no matter what and I couldn't get it to boot into CM...there was no option to boot internal or whatever...
@Bass_Man25 I finally got it working!
I couldn't install it on the internal storage directory. So I ADB pushed the files to the /tmp folder and installed it off that and I finally have it working!

You're so nice thank you so much I will use that video because I hardly know what I'm doing still but I got it working somehow xD
Many thanks!
Edit:
Wow your video explained everything, it is much clearer now!
@Bass_Man25
Would it be possible for me to use a 4.3+ ROM using multiboot? I have the old boot loader or whatever that came with 4.1.2 along with those modems etc.
If it's possible to run a 4.4.4 aosp ROM on the old boot loader how come you can't run newer versions of TW? If there is a ROM I can use along 4.1.2 that'd be nice.
TW roms have Knox.

To be honest, I don't know. From what I've read, some of the 4.3 ROMS don't play nicely with MultiBoot. I haven't given it a try yet. If you're willing to give it try, please let me know what you find. The good new is, if you try it as a secondary ROM and it doesn't work, you can just delete it.
