I see a lot of people complaining about TWRP related issues with various versions of this recovery.
Is there any reason people don't talk about CWM around here? I've been using different versions of cwm touch and twrp ... And I'm honestly pretty happy with cwm.
Why does it appear that people avoid talking about cwm? ... If indeed it works as well as it seems to me that it does?
One reason is that a lot of people think it's better and recommend it to others. I used cwm on my old evo and was going to when I got my s3, but most people and roms were recommending twrp. I've been using it and have tried out cwm as well. For me, at least it hasn't been problematic, but I don't download them through the goo manager. As I feel like I have less control over what I'm getting (I don't even know what version I'm getting until after I download it). That, and I just don't trust the phone to download without errors even when on Wi-Fi.
Just my two cents.

I just actually switched to cwm a couple days ago because twrp had been giving me backup and restore problems.. everything twrp can do cwm does also, and it seems to be faster backing up and restoring also, but that might just be placebo... devs recommend twrp because that is what their Rom/kernel/mod was tested with... 99% of the time cwm will work just fine also

Actually, having used both, I think TWRP had been the better of the two because of the ease of naming your nandroids and the fact that backups in TWRP don't take up so much space as the CWM backups do. Have you seem the crazy Blobs folder in CWM? I like backing stuff up to the PC, but the CWM backups made that process extremely painful. I don't know what happened to make TWRP so unreliable recently, but I just noticed a newer version is out: 2.5.0.0

There's nothing bad about CWM, but is 2013 and you can't rename your nands which is very important(not necesary) in a phone which date as 1970. Also the touch version looks like a '90 recovery.
But if you want a issues free TWRP go back to 2.3.3.0.

If you update from goo manager, a pop up will tell you what version you are about to install beforehand. Also the webpage that it takes you to in order to start the auto download also states the name of the .IMG which also indicates version. I know what you mean about trusting downloads from the phone though. I personally think that is the reason a lot of people have issues with twrp. I've always updated to the latest twrp and flash almost daily, but have never had to switch versions because of bugs. All versions have ran perfect for me.

I've used both for quite a while. I used to only use cwm for the longest but decided to try out twrp because of those ridiculous blobs! What's with that? So I decided to try twrp and I've stayed because of all the little features like a warnings before you wipe things you shouldn't, option to flash more than one zip at once, option to clear cache and dalvik right after flashing, etc... Plus there are some pretty major features that get overlooked. Like the built in file browser. I installed miui once and it created a folder I could not delete and keep deleted. Every time I would reboot, it would come back. Twrp file browser deleted it and kept it deleted. The only thing I don't like about twrp is the system date and time being way off.
Edit: Lol. I've edited like 5 times because I keep wanting to add more info. Also, twrp doesn't take ages to fix permissions. As long as cwm takes, I can just do it manually

I've been on 2.4.0 and 2.4.4, and only had to do backups but haven't tried to restore yet, so after hearing all the war stories, I went back to 2.3.1.
UPDATE: I just upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.5.0, performed wipes, a backup and a restore and all went perfectly smooth. The only issue was the time was 2 hours behind what it should have been for US central, so I selected 2 hours ahead and chose military time (my preference) and I'm happy.

You dont... means busted phone... like i said i could be wrong. Do you have enough space for the nandroid? you need about 2gigs for it to back up properly depending on how much /data you have... like how many apps you have... i have roughly 30-40 and my nandroids are around 800mbs... otherwise yes it will error.

I've gone back to cm touch after using TWRP for a while.
TWRP is great, and I did like the ability to queue zips, but I had trouble with nandroids and with rom manager integration. Basically, I would hit apply in rom manager, and my phone would boot to the menu in TWRP instead of flashing the rom. Ultimately, nothing beats the ease of being able to hit a button in Android, and have the phone reboot and automatically install your updates. (On the other hand, if someone can tell me how to integrate TWRP with rom manager, that'd be awesome...)
With nandroids, the process took about 3 seconds and the files weren't nearly big enough, so I guess it was missing something.

First of all are there any downsides to using TWRP. I have heard of some issues with a long reboot time?
Also my original back up is on CWM is there anyway to migrate or somehow get my original back up on to TWRP?

1) i havent experienced the first thing you mentioned
2) no. they use totally different formats.
CWM just released 6.0 alpha currently in testing. I've always used CWM but I recently used TWRP on my Nook Tablet and I must say that it is pretty cool. Very touch-oriented and feels more like a GUI then a text based recovery like CWM...
However, maybe I'm just used to CWM, but TWRP seemed more complicated. CWM is pretty laid out and straight forward. Both pretty much do the same thing but I trust CWM much more then TWRP. For example, my TWRP updated and left me unable to read my Internal or External storage. It kinda screwed me for a while.
I guess both are nice and can get you to the same place. TWRP is getting updated a lot because it is still new while CWM is kind of seasoned. I use Touch CWM and I don't really have a reason to update it. If it works, why screw with it. A recovery isn't a ROM you flash to get more features. As long as it does what you need it to do, why chance screwing with it?
One of the features I noticed that would be nice is being able to name your backup. Is there a way to name backups in CWM. I tried to within a file browser one time and the backups I renamed were not working afterwards.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have been using TWRP on my HOX and found it really easy and pretty forward without issue.. On my Nexus I used CWM and found it okay easy as well...
BUT I installed it on my Nitro HD and wound up in CWM HELL with out a way out. My phone is currently (hopefully) being unbricked as I could not get out of CWM....Yes I did a back up and when I ran it it stated system back up not found.
So on my Nexus I also just switched it up to CWM after reading other issues also.
Again not bashing CWM just not trusting it to much at this point.
As far as I know, renaming backups in CWM is possible? Try long pressing on one of the backups under 'Manage/Restore', it should allow you to edit the name.

It is possible via a file manager just long press edit name it to what u want just the name don't put a file extention at the end ex. .zip just leave it be it sets the file name for you I had that issue before
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
You can rename a backup, it just can't have spaces or it won't restore. I just add to the end of the name so you can delete and return to original name if you have issues.
I know this might be a stupid question but I was wondering if they have a version of touch recovery for the AT&T SGS 3. I have seen the sprint one but was uncertain if the AT&T had one please if anyone knows can you point me in the right direction. Thank you for your help on this I really appreciate it!!
If you install Goo Manager from the play store, you can install TWRP, which is a touch recovery. As far as CWM goes, Koush had released a touch version of CWM version 6, but it was buggy and he pulled it. He'll have another one up for us soon. My suggestion is to stick with CWM. After the initial backup, subsequent ones just fly.

A couple weeks ago, I would have agreed with you. Then I upgraded to CWM 6.something. First impression was shaky. That first nandroid took over 20 minutes. But all subsequent backups take less than five and can be done straight from Rom Manager. Choose backup in RM, click OK, and it reboots to recovery, does a nandroid, then reboots the phone...hands free. The first nandroid backs everything up to a blobs folder. Subsequent backups only backup what has been changed...so very speedy.
Also, I can format /data in CWM. TWRP would always fail...but I do miss the touch interface of TWRP.

A backup in twrp for me takes about 130 seconds to back up a tw rom, less for aosp roms. Not sure why your backups take so long. Been using twrp for the past year about and I see no reason to go back. Zip que, the gui, the organization are all much better in twrp in my opinion. Of course everyone's opinion differs but that's my 2 cents.

I agree with this. Being able to flash the rom and gapps at once is pretty sweet. Plus Rom Manager seems to cause problems on roms. Of course I know you don't need Rom Manager to have CWM.
So I have been flashing custom roms on this phone since day 1 and have usually not had any problems. However, before moving on to a CM10 alpha build, I decided to update to CWM 6.0.1.2 touch which I got from koush's site (and yes it was for the hercules etc..)..
Now it seemed to work fine, so I took a nandroid and proceeded to flash the cm10 zip. Unfortunately it seems to have jammed up, and now it continues to jam up when doing even basic things (like trying to do a nandroid restore - gets stuck on .android_secure). I have also been trying to mount USB storage so that I can copy a different recovery but that isn't working either.
I am just worried that I am feeling the effects of that emmc bug where it gets corrupted. But I have been running and reflashing with CWM 5.0.2.7 for months without issue. My next plan is to Odin up a new recovery. Lets hope that works.
Anyone know what's going on ?
Update: After I odined back to non-touch CWM 5.2.0.7, phone was as good as new.

I find using CWM Touch is only a good idea when using JB Roms. I'm am using it right now and not having any issues! If your using something other then a JB Rom then just use normal CWM Recovery hope that helps!

I switched to TWRP 2.2.0 and I'm never going back. at least not for my S2. Better luck with CWM on my tabs!
Sk8er's 6.0.1.2 touch is good and the backups are super small in size. Non-touch backups are way bigger. The new touch saves a lot of space. I used to only use non-touch.myself until this touch recovery convinced me to switch. To me it's a lot better and has more features than regular cwm but to each his own. This is just my two cents on the subject.

What methods have you tried?
adb reboot recovery is the easiest way to get to recovery
Maybe try flashing CWM, seeing if that works, and then flashing TWRP (I've never flashed TWRP through Goo Manager so I don't know how that works)?
If you don't have adb set up, get quick boot from market and try recovery through that.
If that doesn't work, I honestly don't know. I'm assuming you've done the power off then volume up+home+power at the same time trick already.

I would highly recommend putting TWRP back on there. The CWM was more for testing... people have reported issues using CWM with certain ROMs. Glad you were able to get CWM on though.

There are a number of ROMs that do not support CWM so that statement is false. FreeGS3 loses update functionality, for example.
Also, there have been complaints in the case of CWM touch of it being too easy to wipe your entire device.
Not to mention there is no Goo Manager functionality without TWRP as well.
Lots of benefits of TWRP versus CWM. I used CWM for years then had to switch to a modified TWRP for my MAXX and was more than happy when I found out the SGS3 used TWRP as well (although I wish we had the ROM slots like the MAXX though - that was actually cool)
The statement is not false. I think FreeGS3 hasn't been updated for 4.5 months? Maybe not the best example. And I still think you should use as few automated tools as possible where flashing is concerned (Goo/ROM Manager).
It can be easy to wipe the wrong partition in CWM, if you are careless or illiterate. In the 6 months that I've used it (nearly every day), I have never once wiped the wrong partition, or my entire device. Never had a backup that wouldn't restore.
I like some of what TWRP offers. But I still experience showstopping bugs with it on my device. At this time, the devs are unable to track down the cause of the problems.

Don't get me wrong, I've used CWM on many devices for years and even have a premium license for ROM Manager but I've seen a number of ROMs explicitly say not to use CWM, FreeGS3 was just the first that came to mind. I don't flash often because quite frankly, I have no problems with Wicked v8 and see no reason to switch to anything else.
And I am neither careless nor illiterate but I have accidentally borked things using CWM before in the past (it was a modified CWM Touch recovery) and I was not happy.
I think most of the complaints about CWM these days though come from CWM Touch, not regular CWM. Sorry TWRP has issues for you.
OK, so I'm getting a new issue, I changed to AOKP and I had problems with the ROM saying I needed to wipe data, I did, the issue persisted for few reboots, now apps won't install, and for some reason the /data folder still displays apps from my previous ROM ugh I don't know what's happening

Which recovery? Try erasing data, cache, and system three times each and reinstalling the ROM... If that doesn't work you might consider doing a back up of everything internally stored on your phone and then wiping the internal storage entirely and starting over.
