cwm recovery

Hi
I have cwm recovery from chenglu but have installed cm10 and recovery is still chenglu.. How can I move to cm10 recovery?? It worked on my old note.

CWM installed, but missing

The phone is with stock rom + root. Installed Rom Manager, then CWM.
CWM version is 5.5.0.0 and it is showing:
Current recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
But when I select Reboot into recovery = Stock Android recovery appears.
If I shut it down and enter manually = again stock recovery.
Why?

I wanted to use ROM Manager and CWM, too, but was told only TWRP is the only recovery that works and not to even try installing CWM. It doesn't work with Samsung devices.

I read the problem is that stock Samsung roms always restore stock recovery and in order to make CWM work you have to delete the stock recovery file.
Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on Android that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from the Market). Delete the file recovery-from-boot.p from /system. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot. You can also use the Toolkit to rename the files if you wish.

[Q] TWRP Error executing updater Binary in Zip

Hi,
I installed the TWRP recovery version 2.6.3.0 onto my phone just now after trying CWM with no success. The CWM recovery could not read my SD card while the TWRP has another error. When I try to install the ROM, I get an error message : Error executing updater binary in zip..........
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

I tried CWM 6.0.4.8 both with touch and without. Both failed to mount the SD card so switched to twrp 2.6.3.0 and I got updater binary errors with twrp

Flash Philz 5.15.9 and copy the rom. Then switch to twrp from audahadi, it's in the original dev section.

Didn't work either

Thanks a lot for your help, really appreciate it

Ah i mean flash philz 5.15, mount the sdcard and wait a few minutes. Then copy a rom to it. And flash the appropriate recovery.
Maybe a broken rom.zip file, which rom ?

Ah so stupid of me. Cyanogenmod Stable ROM, however I tried the Viper one as well. Was able to flash it, but probably was unable to boot due to outdated bootloader

[Q] TWRP doesn't replace CWM

I'm having some trouble with installing a new recovery. I want to have TWRP because I want to install a ROM that requires it. At the moment I have some old CWM but when I flash TWRP and reboot into recovery I still get into CWM.
So how do I replace CWM or at least boot into TWRP?

Try 4ext recovery, in my opinion i think its better. Also u cant flash recovery "flash zip from sdcard" u have to either use fastboot command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or via PB99IMG method or using the 4ext app but u can only use the app once ur phone is booted.

Need help in installing custom rom

I just flashed agat recovery 0.2.2 and i tried to install cm 11 on my phone but i got a error 7 and i dont know what i am doing wrong.

You will need to install cm10 BEFORE installing cm11 because you need cwm recovery to flash cm11 and cwm recovery is in cm10.
This one should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238252
Don't bother flashing gapps or other zips, just flash the rom then boot into cwm recovery do a full wipe and flash cm11.
