Hey so tell us what recovery you like and don't like and why?
I was using twrp but stopped because it screwed up my phone and was having problems flashing some Roms. I just don't think it does a clean wipe just works to fast..... So far clockwork cleans ,wipes more securely and have no problems flashing Roms...

I see this thread getting out of hand and going south quickly. I'm gonna request a mod step in and make a bold suggestion to people on how to keep it clean and not go south. Also make a poll for the thread, makes it look better and more official..
I prefer TWRP, I've been on it since I got the S III (May of '12). I test roms for 3 devs on this phone, and never had an issue. I used to use CWM on previous phones and never had issues there either. I just prefer TWRPs UI.

The Rom that gave me problems with twrp was darthstalker but was able to flash with clockwork... Maybe it was something I did wrong.... Don't know.

My Galaxy S3 is the only phone I've ever rooted and CWM has never failed me. Never used TWRP but I'm happy with CWM.

I've used both and like both, settled on twrp mainly because I find it a little easier to use. CWM looks nicer IMO. I dont' think you can go wrong with either.
I prefer TWRP but with the 4.2+ ROMs I flashed that have the 0 file I have to use CWM.
I'm sure there's something I can do to fix this but I've tried via Google search and have only has luck with CWM. So here I am.

I use twrp because you can name your back up files. That's probably the only reason I use it. It's UI is more friendly because of the buttons and I'm pretty sure you can theme it now, but I haven't tried that feature yet

Yes, that had happened to me multiple times as well, restoring of backups failing. For that reason I stick to CWM for now. Otherwise IMO TWRP is superior.

I had to upgrade my recovery to the new TWRP 2.3.2.3. It wouldn't flash the new recovery through Goo Manager, so I downloaded it manually from here:

Basically was doing a restore after a full wipe. I noticed the restore went allot faster then normal. I figured it was because the new twrp update speeded it up some how. I didn't get a failed message. Umm, no. It was a bad backup. I went to hit restore again and instead did a reboot. The phone was stuck on the Samsung white screen. With wish and truth helping, we got the phone into download mode and using Odin flashed the cwm recovery tar file. Then got the the phone into recovery and flashed a ROM I had on my card.
Moral of the story. If it doesn't seem right dont follow through with it and always keep a working ROM zip on your card. It was totally my fault.
Just noticed, that restore was only 506mb. I ran out of space.

Good option as well, but you have to buy an app to do this. This is just a quick rom flash.

I linked you to Chainfire's thread with a Lite version available but wouldn't you still be rooted hence may still run the risk of Sprint's rooted wrath if you brought your phone in?
I'm sure there plenty of ways to go about it fellas. I'd just like it to be as simple as possible. Boot into recovery, flash zip and done without a trace.

Get a kernel base twrp and tar, flash non rooted tar with mobile odin lite, than flash non rooted kernel
I just did this last weekend because I had to return mine to sprint due to a random rebooting problem. Here were the steps I took:
1. Made a Nandroid backup
2. Went back to stock LJC rom using odin
3. Flashed the CF's auto-root file using odin
4. Booted phone and installed triangle away
5. Ran TA and reset the counter
6. Opened Supersu to unroot
7. Then take back to sprint
I also made a backup of all the logs (call logs, sms, and mms) and my home screen settings (wallpaper, etc) and restored them to make it look more legit. Sprint didn't really mind but I'm paranoid that way. Sorry I couldn't post links as I am doing all this from work.

Stock restore is a full factory restore. Only thing it doesn't do is wipe your external SD card.
