I currently have TWRP on my phone and would prefer to have CWM instead. Could someone please tell me how to properly go about doing that? So I don't mess anything up in the process.

Just find the correct version of CWM for your phone.
If the file is a .tar file, phone in download mode, use odin, file goes in PDA. If it's a .zip use TWRP to flash in recovery.

If u are on i317 just download rom manager from the play store. Install CWM from the app. Although idk y anyone would prefer cwm over twrp. Just my personal opinion though

can i flash the newest tcwm with extsdcard support over twrp2? or do i have to use odin to install it? if i did, would it overwrite twrp or do i have to delete it first? how do you delete the recovery? i like twrp but i want to try out tcmw to see if it fixes my extsdcard mounting issues.
You can do it from Rom manager.

thanks, i've known about being able to install cwm with rom manager, i just wanted to make sure it wouldnt mess anything up going from twrp to cwm.
Shouldn't. I switch back and forth a lot.

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser.
But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery.
I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont.
Why is this happening ?
Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .
Thanks in advance

Since you already have superuser. Why not install via Rom manager or install twrp
Recovery doesn't stick for some weird reason when flashing through Odin on that firmware

Reinstall recovery with rom or goo manager and reboot recovery.

Thats weird...so you can reboot into custom recovery a few times and eventually it goes back to stock? Or can you only boot custom once then it reverts?
First, look for these files and if there, delete or rename them.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Then reinstall recovery and see if it works now.
If theyre not there, good!....well maybe!
Have you tried any other method of installing recovery?
Try using my favorite tool, Mobile Odin.
Free lite version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
(Dont forget to download the flash kernel further down the page)
Or buy full version on play store.
Download twrp here:
http://d-h.st/pNQ
Rename to recovery.img
Open Mobile Odin and tap Recovery and select that file.
Do not wipe.
Tap and confirm Flash Firmware.
Let me know how that goes.

how you planning to flash this CWM zip without CWM already on your phone....are you using TWRP?
If your already rooted go to the play store and get goo.im app and from there install TWRP. In goo reboot to recovery and do a backup, then install the rom of your choice following there instructions. If your not sure do a search on rooting and installing roms.

I'm currently on cwm non touch recovery an want to upgrade. I'm not sure which one I should upgrade but I see a lot of devs suggest twrp touch recovery so I guess that one. Do I just download the recovery an flash it on cwm? An when I do have it installed how do I flash ROMs do I just select the ROM an the recovery will clear caches? Or do I have to flash another zip before like with cwm I flashed the super wipes?

To flash TWRP you to get Goo Manager from the play store.
Open it up and click on "flash rom"... it will ask you if you want it to find you one. Select that option.
It will then say it will DL TWRP. Once it is done with the DL it will flash TWRP to your phone.
And bam....your in the latest TWRP

Thanks!!!!! I did it already. When I'm going to flash a new ROM what do I have to do? On cwm der was the superwipe zip I had to flash before is it the same on twrp?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Dont use super wipe. Not good with TWRP.
Do a full backup first of your current rom. Do a complete wipe. When you hit the wipe option it will tell you all that it will wipe.
Next hit install from the main menu...choose you zip for your rom. Let it do its thing then reboot system.
All done

Ok so I don't need to remove it, and recovery mode is now controlled by twrp? I'm making a fresh backup now anyway, better safe than sorry.

Only one way to find out...

1.) Try it out if you're curious.
2.) TWRP 2.6.0.0 is available for our device via their website.
3.) Typical way is using Odin and the BML CWM version.
Root method for FC09 is in post 2 of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006687 in case that didn't work for you.
