Open for suggestions here. I'm trying to flash cwr over twrp, but every time I boot into recovery I've still got twrp. Tried it using rom manager first, downloads and installs fine, says I'm using cwr 6.0.4.4, I boot into recovery using either the 3 button method or reboot recovery command, and I'm still on twrp.
Also downloaded the .img file from the cwr website and flashed in Odin, got a pass but I still boot into twrp. Any ideas?

That's weird. Its acting like you have a locked bootloader, which you don't.
Did you try using ROM manager app to install clockwork mod?
There are also flashable zips of clockwork that can flash in tarp recovery like like a ROM would be flashed. Tarp should stay after flashing but when you reboot to recovery cwm should be there.
If neither of those two things work, come back here with a very detailed step by step list of things you are doing to switch. We will see if younare missing a step

Go flash this from ODIN. Note, you can't flash a stock .img from ODIN, you'd do that with fastboot or a dd command.

Thanks guys, I downloaded a flashable of philz and flashed it though twrp and that finally worked. I had tried rom manager but that didn't work, and I had used this to package my .img file to an odin .tar

Still doesn't explain why CWM wouldn't flash over. You can use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM recovery img which should clear TWRP. This is just in case someone else has this issue. Don't be a denvercoder9

I downloaded ROM manager, flashed CWM as instructed. I then booted to recovery but the ACS CWM beta was still there. Am I supposed to flash it in recovery mode?

It will only change cwm via rom manager, you will still have your old recovery on three finger boot.

If you flash the zip using your old CWM it will replace it. You cal also odin the tar version. Either will work with 3 finger salute.
Flashed it, but now can't mount SD from recovery. I'm on EI22 stock rooted. Do I need to re-odin everything? Thanks.
I like the cwm more than twrp..
I need help
Flash a CWM zip for T989 and then reboot recovery.
it always failed.

If ROM manager doesn't work you will have to use Odin.
Edit: you can find a tar file here

I have both recoveries installed on my d2att, but everytime I reboot into Recovery, TWRP shows up. But I actually need CWM. How can I replace or set CWM as default? I have flashed CWM through ROM Manager but TWRP still appears on my reboot screen. What do I do?
Try flashing Philz Touch Recovery via Odin.
Try using the method to install cwm in this thread.

hey all, im stuck running the jedi elite rom (apps constantly FC, laggy, bulky) and so I downloaded AOSB rom. I booted into recovery, which was TWRP 2.6.3.8 i believe, maybe .9. I made a full backup, then I tried to install TWRP 2.7. I flashed the .zip file from the official site, then after flashing, i went to main menu, reboot, then i hit recovery. when it went to reboot into recovery, it got stuck on the black startup screen, it says
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery

this didnt bother me, as thats what it normally says when it boots up, but this time it was stuck. I downloaded Odin 3.09, then downloaded the TWRP 2.7 .tar and installed that, it booted into my old rom, and i tried to boot into recovery from there, same result. I used odin to boot back into the rom, downloaded goomanager, and downloaded the older 2.6.3.9 recovery and everything installed fine as far as i can tell, rebooted into recovery, nothing. I used odin to flash a CWM recovery, same results. It seems recovery is broken. Can anyone help me? I just want stock, AOSP android, tired of TouchWiz's bullcrap.

Version 2.7 of TWRP requires that you have the new 4.4.2 bootloader. Have you installed the new 4.4.2 bootloader?
If not, then downgrade your TWRP version to the previous one.
ah, no I haven't. How do upgrade the bootloader? And am I fine to flash the 4.4.2 AOSB ROM on TWRP 2.6.3.9?

I have been messing with my S3 lately and just tonight I tried flashing the newest compatible TWRP recovery so that I could run SlimBean on it, which is recommended, but after I flashed it, the TWRP recovery, my phone would no longer boot into recovery. It will boot into download and will boot normally. When I try to boot into recovery it shows the "Recovery booting...." text in blue but then goes to a black screen where I can't go any further. I have tried booting into recovery while completely turned off with Volume up + Home + power, with ROM manager and with goomanager. No matter what I try it refuses to boot into recovery. Any help would be very, very, very appreciated!
Where did you get the recovery? Get twrp from my sig and flash via Odin. Should get it going again.

I originally got twrp from their site the first time I attempted to flash it and also tried flashing it directly from goomanager.
Thank you, I'll try it right quick.
*EDIT* I tried the twrp you said to and it crashed my odinv3.07. I'm going to download Odinv3.09 provided by you and attempt it again. Any tips on changing the twrp file from a .zip to a .tar file?
There should be a .tar.md5 fir each version. Use that with Odin. The .zip files are for flashing in recovery, which wont work for you atm.
Sorry about the late reply but after I flashed the twrp from you with Odin v3.09 it booted right into recovery! Thank you so much!
