I'm having issues with this and I don't want to try it without knowing what to do. I have cwm 5.5.0.x and want to go to the newest one to flash a ROM its not working. How do I flash the new recovery?
Can I just name it update.zip and flash that?
I've been able to get on cm10 and aokp but I want to flash paranoid android tablet thing. And I can't, if I'm not on the right track please tell me

Try downloading ROM Manager from the Play Store and doing it that way.

So I purchased the premium license and when I load up rom manager the premium section for ROMS is empty. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Yes, you paid for ROM Manager.
You should have saved $1 and bought ROM Toolbox pro. It has a lot more features. Also, no one really uses ROM Manager for ROMs anymore. Check out goo manager.

yes they do, with goo manager you can install twrp recovery which I personally think is a whole lot better than cwm

I agree. When TWRP got released I never went back to CWM. Much easier to use.

rom manager and rom toolbox pro

Can i run, for instance, a nightly while running aokp on my at&t s3? And can i switch between the two? Or will everything be deleted after wiping

I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S III I747M through Bell, but am a bit lost with ROM flashing. I flashed to new ROM's quite frequently on my old Motorola Milestone, but I am a bit confused with the ROM's for the S III since there are so many variants.
My main question is, as a Bell user am I limited to only d2bell roms or can I change information in the build props or elsewhere to flash d2att roms? I am currently running rooted CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 and my have been unsuccessful so far in flashing ROMs.

I rooted using this tutorial and afterwords cwm recognized my phone as d2att and have had zero problems flashing any ROMs.
I'm on Telus BTW so I know what its like crossing beyond the d2can label

I had the same problem but prefer twrp over cwm so all I did was change my build.prop in rom toolbox, then downloaded goo.im from the playstore. You can flash twrp in app and because I changed the build.prop to say dtatt instead of d2can,it installed the at&t recovery, now I have no problem flashing anything. Hope that helps.

i initially got twrp via goo w/o chaning d2can to d2att. I've made backups etc already.
If i decide to change to d2att and resintall twrp as d2att
1) can I use the older d2can backups?
2) does reinstalling it on top of d2can's twrp work?
thanks!
Twrp it is. So KoryGuy123, when you rooted your Telus S III you used the AT&T root on Odin?

Does changing from a d2can to d1att version of twrp work the same way? I can just flash on top of the existing wihtout any uninstalls and im assuming the d2att can still load d2can backups?
I know twrp are backward compatible, but are they cross version compatible?

I honestly have no idea. I know twrp update through goo manager is automatic so you would have to manually install it.
If you flash that recovery file it only changes your version of cwr.

Got it figured out now, ROMs are flashing without a problem. Thanks for the tips guys, I was beyond lost.

Good to see you fix your issue just FYI the bell phone will flash any Canadian rom or any ATT rom without problem
Just don't flash other modems than those set for this variant.

Awesome. Thanks for this. I'm already rooted, using the allinone toolkit. What would I have to flash to make my phone be recognized as d2att? The whole Galaxy s3 Root.zip thats mentioned?

If you are running clockworkmod recovery, go into rom manager, select update recovery, and chose d2att instead of d2can

Damn! The one time CWM is more useful than TWRP and I don't have it. I'm kind of new to all this, how would I switch to CWM?

In that video is a Odin flashable file... That's cwm, it'll overwrite twrp than you download ROM manager and update cwm. After that you can reinstall twrp and it'll be for d2att

My i747 does the same, I've tried several time with stock kernel, Ziggy kernel and kt747 kernel but I Berber got passed the logo. I tried both, cwm and twrp latest recovery. It is the only ROM not booting on my phone so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Which really stinks because I love Galaxymod but I guess I got lucky that it worked well for me with minimal effort. There one thing I've never had to do on 5 phones and wont say it for fear of jinxing myself haha
I've been attempting to put avatar rom on my galaxy note II SGH-T889 all day today using CWM, but as soon as it starts it crashes??? Would anyone know what the problem is? or what i am doing wrong??? I really like this rom and want it to go on my phone but its starting to frustrate me. Thanks.
What do you mean as soon as it starts it crashes. Does your phone boot up with the ROM at all?

It crashes while it's installing Rom in cwm. Then I get the android in the background with the exclamation symbol.

First, I recommend TWRP recovery I believe is much better and easier to use. I suggest downloading GOO Manager from the playstore and use it to flash TWRP Recovery. Then try to flash the ROM.
