how do I update clockwork mod recovery? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Every time I open ROM Manager I get a message that there is a clockwork mod recovery update. How do I update it? Is there an app for that or do I need to keep downloading it and copying over manually? Does this affect my backups?
Thank you in advance,
BR

Do you mean an update to the recovery itself? If so, just hit the Recovery Setup button at the top of the app and flash the lastest version from there.

Thank you that did the trick, I'm still a little confused about all this rooting. Clockwork, busy box, titanium, nandroid, mybackup. So Clockwork is just the recovery app? Like for Vol UP + HOME + POWER?

So are root type apps tied to clockwork somehow or is it totally independent functions?

They're independent. Only app related to clockwork is ROM manager

Is that for updating it or for other functions?

Mostly it's also for flashing and downloading roms

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24791768#post24791768
just wondering how I go about updating to new rom that just came out for a100 by these guys.
tried update.zip method but did not work. got an android with a exclamation mark while trying to flash.
edit: also how do i tell what recovery I have?
i followed these steps
- Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646
- Unlock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557445
- Install CWM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558595
just do a full wipe and flash through cwm.
Personally, I don't like it. The gains aren't worth what you sacrifice

what do you lose?
not much aside from the acer ring, whenever you rotate you get a black flash. it's a bit irritating and you don't get much as it is incomplete

thanks and got it flashed on there now!
EDIT: Obviously I am an Idiot.... I flashed this recovery and now I am not sure how to get to the recovery to make a nandroid backup and whatnot. i tried t backup using ROM manager and got the android with exclamation on boot. and I also tried to bring up recovery by holding the volume up while booting and all it did was try to update and fail.
I just need a little bit more detail in getting this and once I get this squared away I swear I will be good to go for now on. Also I appreciate your alls patience and helpfulness!
edit 2: found recovery. hit home key after red android thing. shows Android system recovery<3e>. is this correct? nothing in the options there allow me to backup nandroid.

hence why chopper said "no wipe", as in "you won't lose your personal files". At least try to understand what we're saying and calm down.

If you just re-flash the same rom and gapps that you are currently running WITHOUT wiping you will not lose any information.

[Q] Stuck in ClockworkMod Recovery

I reboot my 1X and it goes straight into ClockworkMod recovery, I don't even touch anything excepted Power button. If I try to reboot again, it goes straight into CWM recorvery again. I can adjust anything in CWM but can get out of it . I can turn my 1X off in Bootloader, but if i turn it on, everything is the same...
ROM: ARHD 21.0 with stock kernel
Help!
Flash CWM again and try rebooting it again.. don't forget to 'fastboot erase cache'...
Did you make any changes using terminal emulator or anything of that sort?

Arrgghhhh!!! Why do you guys want to play with Cydia when y'all don't know how to operate it?? :S
I just helped some other guy who had installed cydia. restarted... it only goes to CWM...
The only thing he could do is flash a new rom with full wipe!... I guess that's the only choice you have now!

Go to CWM>Mounts and storage>Mount USB and copy the rom file there...
Make sure you have hboot 1.31+ if you want to flash a JB rom + have bootloader unlcoked...
Edit: Make sure you have sufficient amount of battery left before you start flashing! Go to CWM and keep it on wall charger for 30 mins... just to be sure!

What's the name of the GUI app for Windows to flash android bootloaders, kernels, etc

It had options to install TWRP and the clockwork one, and things like boot into recovery, etc. I forgot the name of the app and now I can't find it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
