Firstly, what's going wrong with the TWRP process? If you're getting a "status 7", and you flashed TWRP using Goomanager, you have a d2can TWRP image instead of a d2att TWRP image, which is causing the problem; go here for the d2att image and instructions for its use.
If you still want to go back to CWM after that, just flash a CWM image in the normal fashion; it will overwrite whatever recovery image you currently are using (TWRP in this case).

Hey guys,
So I just rooted my rogers galaxy s3 and I'm trying to install CWM recovery. My phone isnt on the ROM manager list so I tried flashing it through odin. I've tried about 7 times each with different versions of cwm recovery and odin keeps saying it was a success but whenever I try to go into recovery mode I just go to android system recovery and not CWM recovery. I have no clue why this is happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Zach

Btw i dunno why its not working it worked for me.. but i switched cuz CWM SUCKS get twrp bruh its touch and everything and it tells you how much battery you have while flashing...
Download goomanager off playstore... download some random rom (you dont need to flash the rom its only so it gives u the link to the open recovery) you will be asked if you have a recovery installed say no install open recovery they install TWRP on your phone done.. happy flashing

Had the same problems, follow this guide use the latest versions of everything (Odin, etc.). The key is the pulling of the battery after flashing and before you boot. Once I did that I got into CWM no problem.

This is probably the same issue i was having where the stock recovery kept coming back. You will need to rename or delete these two files.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p

Same issue here on the Telus T989D. Any solutions without using cwm?
You can always try the manual method if your brave and familiar with the terminal. Go to Team Win's for our phone here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101. Download the .IMG file and follow the instructions under Download - Recovery Image Method (using dd): Not hard but doublecheck your typing before hitting enter or you'll brick your phone.
I'm not responsible for any actions taken because of this post. Good Luck, its worth it in the long run.

One small problem with that.....
Hi guys. I'm having a somewhat similar issue, but it's a little more problematic than that. I was in mid-flash when I unfortunately learned that any attempt to work with the cache resulted in an immediate freeze-up. From what little of the log I've seen, it's trying to tell me that the cache partition is read-only. Any attempt to unmount, wipe, or work with the cache in any way will result in an immediate lock up. This is *after* wiping the system and data partitions. I have been able to get TWRP to start correctly twice in the last 40 times I've tried to boot up the phone.
Question: I noticed that TWRP has a button where you can enter a terminal command. I don't have adb set up yet on this machine, since reloading it. I would imagine the answer would be 'no', but is it possible to put a different recovery image on the sd card, then use TWRP's terminal button to issue the command to flash it, or would that make matters worse? Or am I going to have to set up adb and odin again on another machine and use that? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: I should've stayed with CWM non-touch. :crying:
This worked for me:
reflash CWM, flash superwipe, install TWRP through goomanager.
i had the same problem on my t989 and this odin flashed version posted here worked fine

I flashed that version through Odin and it seems to be running just fine. I wiped caches and now TWRP appears to be working normally :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Wow I guess I didnt read the critical part where your stuck on the recovery boot screen so the attachment below wont help.... JUMP DOWN TO POST #21 AND FOLLOW IT TO RECTIFY THE GETTING STUCK ISSUE
Here, try this file guys. Someone over in the Jedi threads made a CWM flashable TWRP zip. You can thank me for bringing it to your attention if you want, but I did not create this ( I just clicked on the attachment paperclip for the thread and browsed through all the attachments because I knew I saw it somewhere in the development section...)
I also checked TWRP's own website and for the Hercules, v.2.3.1.1 is the latest version supported for our device so far but I only found 2.3.0.0 packed in a recovery flashable form.
Just flash it via CWM like any other zip and once its done it'll reboot your device automatically to system, so just reboot it back to recovery to make sure it worked. It did for me when I did awhile back with v.2.2.2.0 and I just used the below file to flash and update it in TWRP to v.2.3.0.0
Hope it helps

Currently the non-functioning TWRP. I tried flashing CWM from the Rom Manager app, but that froze too. Looking for a reliable fix. I do not have a preference for recovery.

If you have either I guess it doesn't really matter. Just install/flash the attached file below just like you would any other rom via your recovery.
After it installs reboot back into recovery and you will see the old recovery replaced with the latest TWRP for the T989.
Lemme know if this works for ya.

This is the part I don't understand. If my TWRP is stuck, how do I install/flash via my recovery?
So, I decided to root my wifes Galaxy S2 due to it being a little older and to get more out of it for her, however I seem to have got my self stuck in a bootloop.
-Downloaded Odin, flashed CWM recovery and rooted phone all relatively easy and with no issues. However I wanted to get CM 10.1.2 stable cuase thats what i run on my Nexus 4. Before i flashed, i ran a Nandroid backup from cwm and did a wipe data/factory reset and rebooted. this is where i got the boot loop, on the T-mobile screen. Tried restoring from the back up, and still boot looped. tried flashing CM and it boot looped on the CM splash screen. On the CM forum it seems someone else had this issue and that kinda how i got pointed here. CM Admin suggested downloading an updated Bootloader. I honestly looked all over this site and couldnt find ANYTHING. I can still get into Download mode, and Recovery mode with no issues.
Thanks for your time

Hi everyone,
I had just rooted my stock i747 (Telus) now, and it was all going well until I couldn't boot into CWM. I read this thread (scroll down to bottom where it talks about "What to do if Phone Boots into Stock Recovery (Android Recovery) instead of CWM"): androidtelegraph.com/guide-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300/
In short, I had deleted the two files: "recovery-from-boot.p.", and "install-recovery.sh" in attempt to solve my issue to boot into CWM. Once in CWM, I followed this guide to install a stable CyanogenMod ROM: galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-roms/how-to-install-custom-rom-on-rooted-galaxy-s3/
This is where the trouble begins. First, when I attempted to wipe data/factory reset, there was an error. If I recall, it was an error dealing with the mounting of something (probably the stock ROM). Nevertheless, it continued to wipe the data. Next, when I browsed to find the ROM inside the directory and pressed Yes to start installing the ROM, this is where I could not continue. It gave me an error and I do not know how to fix it. I was wondering if it would have to do with the fact that I deleted "recovery-from-boot.p." and "install-recovery.sh" previously.
What went wrong? What do I do? Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
If you can boot into your phone then just use ROM manager to flash CWM again. You also use ADB.
Your other option is to go into Download Mode and use ODIN to install TWRP.

Basically I would do what the guy told you above. I would also download the ROM you want to flash again and try again without modifying anything. You shouldn't have to modify anything unless the Dev told you otherwise.

Hi,
I was trying to flash CM onto my Tmobile Galaxy S2 and got into serious soup.
This phone is not unlocked. I thought it is not necessary.
I rooted the phone using instructions from galaxyroot website.
I did this cos i got my other Tmob Galaxy S2 rooted this way.
Afterwards, i downloaded CM cm-10.1.1-hercules and copied it to internal storage, and tried to update it from recovery.
Update completed successfully, but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
I have got this before when i did not clear all the data, but this time I am seeing these weird errors while wiping various data:
While doing "wipe data/factory reset" I get the below error:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
While doing "wipe dalvik cache"
E: Unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Also, i am using the CWM recovery 5.0.2.6 that i got from the above link, I could not get odin to flash any newer versions of CWMR.
Not sure if this is relevant, but just throwing it out there.
Please help!

You need to update your recovery to flash CM10.1.
I would suggest TWRP 2.6.1.0 from here:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hercules/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-hercules.tar
Or you can look for a CWM 6xxx flash-able zip in the development threads.

How long did you wait on the splash screen? It does take a little while to boot at first.
If you waited more than a minute, there may be a problem with your phone and you might have to Odin back to stock.

I waited for about 10 minutes before giving up. Could you suggest me an odin-flashable CWM 6x ?
I tried to flash many versions from the forum but ODIN keeps crashing when it tries to flash them.
This is where i got them from: [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod 6.0.3.1 for Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile) SGH-T989 (Cant post links)

I would ODIN back to stock, then flash TWRP 2.44, and update TWRP from there... May solve some issues down the line if you have a corrupted recovery...

meekrawb, thanks for your help! I was able to flash the new CWM but that does not seem to be working. When flashing cache, it says formatting cache for a long time and then reboots. Attempts to flash CM Rom using the new CWM did not help either. (Still bootlooping)
I was able to install the 4.1.2 from the md5 though. It is asking for the SIM which i dont have, but it is not stuck in a loop and seem to be responding. I will check with the sim in the evening and update. Thanks a ton for showing some light at the end of the tunnel!
Still I wonder why i cant flash CM on this phone. I have another phone of the same model on which i was able to flash without hassle.
Only difference i can think of is that this phone has an external sd card.

Glad you at least got it running. Maybe your internal/external SD cards have errors? I'm not sure how to go about fixing that though.
