For those of you who want a Touch CWM recovery on your phone I have converted the image file into an Odin flash capable .tar file. If anyone would like me to do the same for the other carriers I will do so, but please keep in mind I am unable to test those recoveries.
This is version 5.8.4.5 of the CWM Touch recovery. Backup/restore is confirmed working
This is for the T-MOBILE variant only and will most likely up your custom recovery flash counter. You have been warned.
Oh, and I am not responsible if you choose to DL this and brick your phone or otherwise, I tested on my phone and it flashed just fine.
Thanks Moonfire711 for this information:
Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site, or DL the version provided and un'zip' it to your computer. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
I did NOT make this recovery or alter it in any way, I do NOT take credit for this recovery, it's CWM 100%
downloading now thanks

Thankyou! So all we do is download this tar and use pda in Odin to flash correct? And will rom manager recognize this recovery? (I didn't want to buy it on rom manager)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Flash through Odin yes, I just checked and Rom Manager tells me "There are no Touch recoveries available for your Device". Although I have flashed the Insecure Kernel so you may want to make sure you have STOCK kernel if you want Rom Manager to recognize your device. Otherwise it works as it should in recovery mode.
I tried a version earlier and it did not support external sdcard.
Don't know if this one is any different, but I doubt it.
This is probably the same version, No Ext SD Card support on it. I'll update the main post to show that, thanks for thinking about that. Though personally I'm willing to sacrifice that for a touch recovery, others may not.
EDIT: Looks like there are two options, SD Card and Internal SD Card. This has Ext SD Card support. Works on my phone with the Insecure Kernel.
So ext and int sd card both working? And we flash Odin pda check auto reboot?

OP, feel free to add these instructions to the OP for anyone that doesn't want to use Odin for any reason, and still wants to get this for free without using Rom Manager Premium.

Or you can download the .tar from the OP and do as follows:
1. Open ODIN
2. Reboot into Download mode (Vol. Down+Home+Power)
3. Plug your phone and ensure ODIN recognizes it in the box (com#)
4. Click PDA and add the recovery.tar file
5. Make sure it says "Pass" then unplug your phone and exit from ODIN.
Your phone will reboot and you should now have the touch recovery.
Yes ext backup is working, use the first option that just say "backup." I will assume the "restore" is for ext sd as well.
Man backing up takes unsually longer than the non-touch cwm. Also anyone know how to adjust the date and time of the folder it creates when you make a backup??
I know wrong thread, but same subject!, anyone try TWRP yet?

I hope your intent was to have what you typed put in the OP. If it was to negate what I wrote in any way, then the point was to offer a way that will not jump your flash counter (in case anyone cares), and to offer a way that doesn't require using Odin. Hell, I didn't even need a pc.

I put it on my phone for about one night, but didn't play with it much. I did make a backup and it seemed to work fine. It was just a little foreign to me, so I decided to stick with the touch version of cwm for now.

In my opinion, and this is only MY OPINION, TWRP is loads better. No offense to the great work CWM developer(s) does but I really dislike CWM. I've always used TWRP be it N1, Galaxy Nexus, Kindle Fire and now S3. The only time I strayed was 4EXT Touch (by Maxx) for N1, but there's no release for S3
I think 4ext is hands down number 1, I used trwp on my Kindle also its great but cwm does the job lol

Yeah, I posted in the N1 forum asking Max to bring 4EXT to SGS3 but he never responded. I may shoot him a PM and ask him.
That's exactly how I feel, CWM does the job lol. I much prefer TWRP though.

dude...your clip image in your sig is f*cking hilarious! I crack up whenever I see it.....
The sh*t people come up with.... :laugh:
So can someone give some background on this update? I did a backup to my extSD card and it doesnt backup the applications. I also see a 'blobs' folder when I look at the backup folder in root explorer.
Whats the difference between .dup and .tar in the advance backup options. Any info would be appreciated.... thanks!
So after doing some digging around, I found out a bunch about this new version of CWMR/CWMTR.
First,
You may notice a 'blobs' folder when you do a backup. Don't panic, this is now part of the backup process.
Second,
You may find that your backups are completed reasonably faster after the initial backup and your backup folder for that particular backup is also significantly smaller as in under 100mb smaller when it used to be close or even over 1gig.
Touch Recovery does not make a "full backup" anymore. It only backs up what has changed since a previous backup, and keeps track of the changes in a clockworkmod/backup/blobs folder. This is pretty cool because its designed to save on space and speed up the backup process. So if you look at your 'blobs' folder, its size is going to be HUGE. Thats where all the files that once made up your HUGE zip backup are located.
Hopefully you guys find this info a little more helpful....because I had a ton of questions after seeing how this new version created backups, etc.

ooooo, you don't want to do that. The Odin flash-able image is ONLY flash-able through Odin. If you want, you can extract the recovery.img file from within it, and use THAT file to flash via Terminal.
You can ONLY flash a *.img file the Terminal way.
You can flash custom recovery three ways:
*.img flash-able via Terminal
*.tar, *.md5 flash-able via Odin
*.zip flash-able from within custom recovery
Good luck!

I think he meant that he wasn't able to use just the img so he had to use the odin tar.
Hi,
I'm following the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I am on the 3rd option and am trying to load the latest clockworkmod on my GS3, I have it downloaded, but it is an .img file.
The tutorial says:
if you download this recovery you will need to extract this file (if you have issues extracting try removing the .md5 extension first) to get a recovery.img file and copy to your phone's internal /sdcard
connect your phone to computer and use adb
type adb shell
once in the shell run su
then
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Can someone please explain this in more detail? I am looking for links to the ADB program I need as-well as how to use it to apply those commands.
Also I am having a hit-or-miss issues with Windows reading my phone as an external device, the phone reads as an established MTP connection but Windows sometimes reads it, or does not. What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you.
Info:
Phone: Samsung-SGH-I747
Carrier: AT&T
Andriod Version: 4.1.1
OS: Windows 8 64Bit
Samsung Software: Kies 2.5.0.12114_1
Here is how I done it. It's in a zip file if you already have the non-touch version installed. All you need to do with this is install from SD from CWM recovery. None of the adb stuff has to be messed with. 7th post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877761
Edit: This was on down in the post you quoted. If you don't have any CWM recovery installed, then do the below, then install the above touch version zip from sd in CWM recovery.
Third, alternate #3 if unfamiliar with adb commands and uncomfortable using any command line
Decide if you want to use TWRP or CWM.
If you would like to install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery.
I am no expert by any means but you have to run those commands in the command prompt (DOS) system. Hit the start menu and find the run and type in cmd and that will open up command line or it should be in the Accessories folder as well.
If Windows sometimes doesn't recognize your phone I would uninstall and re install the drivers to see if that helps.
I have a heck of a time to get ADB and everything working when I first started so I know how you feel. Just keep reading the forums and everything and you will get it to work.

Currently my phone has NO clockwork Mod installed, I am wanting to install the latest version ( recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att ) I have this file in .img format, I am trying to figure out how to install it on my phone -- the tutorial says add it to your sdcard, I have done that, then it says connect to your phone and use ADB commands, that is the part where I need more information, also do I wipe cache/reset settings/dalvick cache during any of this process? Should my phone be in download mode when doing ADB commands or what specifically is where I do not understand.
I would like to understand the process more in-depth and ADB as well - opposed to going the RomManager route, from my research it seems that updates/versions are available first with that method.
Thanks

He gave you the link to the play store app in the post. It's android terminal emulator..type terminal emulator in play store its the top app.
I just merely gave you a second option which I did and functioned flawlessly. Grab Rom Manager from the play store and select the top option to flash CWM Recovery. It will ask you your phone type and carrier and then will give you the option to install it. Easier than the whole adb thing.
Ok that route did work, thanks.
Now I installed the latest CM10 Nightly - cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-d2att
And then rebooted and installed the latest Gapps - gapps-jb-20121011-signed
It does not seem that any of the google apps are in my apps
Also the Play Store no longer works....just "Connection Timed Out"
Specifically I am looking to use Google Now/G-Mail/Drive/Voice/etc...
Did I do something wrong? CWM said the Gapps installed successfully. Was I supposed to wipe cache somewhere?
Thanks for the help.

I have not noticed that. I used the same Gapps file to do mine and everything worked fine on I believe the 11-30 NIGHTLY, no wiping that I remember. Now this was before I got on Official JB, was still back on stock ICS. Haven't flashed CM since upgrading. I will after today as battery life sucks on the Official, if it does the same to me I will let you know.
Touch version of CWM is pretty sweet, no accidental clicks too far with the volume keys, works right from your screen. That was the link in the first post I gave you. Download it to your SD, go into recovery and install it from SD.
Looks like mine had no problems with the gapps 11-30 nightly coming from LK3. Haven't got around to downloading the latest nightly yet. Will do today. Let me know if you got it resolved.

How do I install a .IMG file (the CWM recovery download file) onto the S4? There is no FASTBOOT mode (or I can't access it for some reason).
Yes, I know I can use rom manager to install CWM, but that isn't my question.
I can confirm - it does work.
Thanks for the quick posting of this!
Oh boy! i'm getting my S4 sooner then i thought now lol. Monday? i sure hope so if not i'll have to wait til the weekend i think but oh man, CM10.1 here we come
Nice recovery I downloaded rom manager and installed the touch recovery and it's very good but the only problem is that the space between the text is really close to each other I mean you have a really big screen and it only uses less than a third u know what I mean? Just saying so far I like it but that's the only thing I find annoying

hmmm try on external sd and change the path to match that then?
How do you switch between TWRP and CWM? The WICKED ROM requires TWRP, but I've always used CWM... I'd like to be able to switch without much trouble if needed.

Tried that as well with same result. Triple checked path and spelling & case (if case even matters). Can you double check your command line and make sure there is no typo? Thanks

Turns out the path to the extSdCard is actually /storage/extSdCard. Couldn't see the directory of the sdcard noway nohow. Can't figure out why. /storage/extSdCard worked.
Thanks.

Guys please don't repost it as your own work, otherwise I'll report it and you will get banned from XDA.
NOTE: If you have previously used the old EXE to install TWRP then please remove the old folders by using these instructions using cmd before using updated exe to install TWRP;
1.
Code:
adb shell
2.
Code:
su
3.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system
4.
Code:
rm -R /system/bootmenu
Then use the updated exe to install TWRP.
NOTE: If you don't like TWRP, you can download Guitwo2's Permanent CWM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1875373&d=1365682716
Temporary CWM Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1875299&d=1365680458
2nd-init does NOT work in CWM Recovery
Thanks to @Guitwo2 for CWM Recovery.
Instructions on how to install Permanent CWM Recovery:
1. Make sure stericson-busybox is installed
2. Put XT320_bootmenuV2.zip in the root of your sdcard
3. Reboot into fastboot mode by typing this command in cmd:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4. Then type this command in cmd:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
5. Then use volume keys to navigate and power button to select option. Select install zip from sdcard, then select XT320_bootmenuV2.zip and select yes to install the zip file
6. Then reboot device by selecting reboot device now.
CWM 6 has a bug where it asks you to 'disable recovery flash' when you select reboot system now make sure you select NO or you will soft brick your device.
Changelog:
-v2 No need to mount /sdcard in CWM Recovery. Fixed TWRP installation issues.
-v2.0.1 Released an .exe version of script, to simplify installation
-v2.0.1.1 Fixed bootmenu.zip
This can install a custom recovery?

Thank you
The root process worked for me. Now i can install link2sd and set up a swap partition.
I cant install TWRP and i think the reason is that the bat was having some problem to send that bootmenu.tar file to my sd card. I tried to send that file myself before starting the entire process and it didnt worked.
I took a picture of the error i'm getting . Thank you again, i was really mad about that low internal space xD
same problem... someone can fix it? please

Ok, I've made a fixed script here. The error was that the sdcard is a directory so it will refuse to push files into it.
Here's the updated script below. Just put the .bat file in the same place as the other files.
Thanks

Ty for the quickly answer.
Btw, my gsm network wasnt working after the root process. If the same thing happens to someone else, just do a master reset and it will work again.
pull command is working now
That sdcard copy part is working now. The TWRP process is still not working for me. I tried to do myself the commands using the adb interface and when i use the command to intall the tar, i got the message 'tar: no space left on device" . I hope you can help me with that and i'm sorry about all this questions xD .

You must have more than 5MB free in your /system partition. Please move your apps to the /flex partition or delete the useless apps in /system.

Yes but it sometimes gets unstable so you should overclock to 700MHz which is the highest I got without reboots. pll2_l_val=73 gives you 700MHz.

It worked for others but in your situation the only thing I can advise is to do a data wipe and relfash SBF file. Just go to Guitwo2's there to install permanent CWM.

Hi, it's me again... i have a new trouble
i installed the xt320_bootmenu.zip (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229233) the first time that i rebooted works fine, but the on the second reboot it doesn't work, then i went to data to check if test.log was there and here's the problem... no test.log...
init.d was working fine until that i did it, i guess that my phone have troubles making work init.d
some solution for this annoying guy? thanks in advance!
