the recovery i have is cwm 10.1
cwm-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5

Use twrp
+Bound for Valhalla!
+Did ya boy help? Gimmie a "thanks"! It's fast -one click- and!! It's free!!

cwm 10.1?? Think you may be confused with the CM 10.1 rom. There is no such version for CWM recovery but if you still face issues there even on the latest version then try moving to the latest TWRP and it should run through fine.

CWM and TWRP are separate recoveries man.. Flashing one will overwrite the other. Just choose which one you want.

TWRP is always recommended but it's all about personal preference. If you want my opinion I think TWRP is indeed better. It's got a much better UI and a lot easier to navigate, not to mention it's all touchscreen based.

Ok well this will be for my Samsung galaxy s3, so I just uninstall cwm and the install twrp?

Keep in mind that nandroids are recovery dependant so your current CWM backups will not be compatible with TWRP and same vice versa. If you're worried abput losing your backups what you could do is restore any CWM backup then flash TWRP and backup that ROM you had restored over to TWRP. You can do the same to all your CWM backups if you have any more but that'll take you quite a bit of time to do lol.

No need to uninstall. Like I said, just flash TWRP through Goomanager and it'll overwrite your current recovery.

I have the same issue
Hi I also tried to install PACMan rom in Galaxy R through TWRP latest version. It says
1. No cheksum files found.
2. Assert failed.
Then some conditions are being checked to identify the device name. That's why the assertion failed.

why do i keep getting an error 7 when flashing a different rom?

I am running AOKP JB and using CWM. Flashing updated roms of AOKP is fine but when i try to flash a different rom, (I've tried CM9 and 10, KyanRom, and paranoid android) i keep getting the same error.
i factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik but still no go.
any ideas of what i might be doing wrong or how to fix this?
Use Odin flash stock rom then boot into recovery wipe data and reboot done

That's an older version. You need the newest one, which is 5.8.4.7. Download the img file from the website and flash through android emulator.
Downloads: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
How to install through Android Emulator on the device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
scroll down to the "Third, alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands" option and follow directions.
Beware that once you install this version of CWM, your previous nandroid backups will not work, as they will get md5 mismatch. If you want to go back to the older version of CWM, simply use the method you used when you first flashed CWM (via Odin). I experienced the same thing, so I had to do some research before I flashed CM10. Hope that helped!

This is like Best ROM or kernel threads. There is no BEST. Just try them both and see which one you like it. However, I did do a TWRP and CWM comparison thread. If you're interested, PM me.

No.
Easiest method is to use Goo Manager, as stated.
Or you can find the .img and fastboot flash it.

Error 7 when installing 4.1.1 CodefireX :(

I wiped cache, delvik, formated system, and then when I tried to install the ZIP. I get error 7 and it aborts. My phone is stock but rooted. I flashed my phone with odin for stock, not sure which verison of stock im using. I think the latest one.
Update your CWM to 5.8 or 6 or install TWRP and your error 7 will go away.

help with Goomanager

So i have Clockwork recovery and want to install Twrp and everything i read says to use goomanager, I just want to make sure i won't brick or mess anything up using it since it seems to easy to be true. also will my previous backups on clockwork be lost, i kind of figure they would but just want to know just in case something goes wrong. thanks for the help.
Yes your cwm backups won't work with twrp. Although as long as you don't delete them you can always go back to cwm if need be.

Can we install custom ROMS using Goomanager?
Are there any specific steps to follow if i install ROM using Goomanager.
What's so hard about rebooting to recovery directly from the os and then flashing the ROM?

Are you flashing the CMW that comes with the toolkit? doesnt work... you have to find it in the original development section and flash it via odin... Try philz recovery easier and more customizable!
