Reinstall cwm using ROM manager
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
i read somewhere this is a glitch in the app and that it was being looked into.. wish i could remember what thread i read that in.. I read it maye 4 days ago in one of the noobie stickies i think.... so my suggestion would just be to manually flash from cwm recovery

Re-installing cwm from ROM manager didn't work, it still wants to know what phone I have and it isn't listed. I have uninstalled cwm, reset my phone to factory settings and re-rooted a few time now with the same results. It's mildly frustrating......
I never had this problem with my S and S2.
Any more suggestions welcome.
Try team win recovery project(twrp). I never heard of anyone having an issue like yours.

okay so im hoping someone can help me with my problem. a couple of months ago i rooted my phone succesfully. when i heard we were getting the jellybean update i unrooted in order to do the ota update. well now i want to root my phone again and i just cant seem to get clockworkmod to work. i ran odin3 and did the same process as before but when i go into recovery i keep getting the regular recovery option and not clockwork recovery. i tried several version of odin3 and everytime i PASS. but i just cant seem to get into clockworkmod so i can root. Has anyone else had this problem? what solutions or methods can i use to solve this? any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you

Thanks but I was able to root using the cf-auto-root method. It was a lot easier and faster.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Cool, but unless it auto deletes those files you still won't be able to get a custom recovery to stick. Maybe it does though. I'm not sure.

...but im really confused by it all.
Im not new to rooting or flashing roms etc but im confused with all the different builds and my efs folder and what not.
I came from having a moto atrix and a htc desire before that.
My phone is currently on stock XXDME6 with baseband DMF1 and im in the UK.
Can someone point me in the right direction to be able to root, install TWRP recovery and flash miui v5 please?
Any help would be much appreciated.

For TWRP: HERE
MIUI thread: HERE
Once TWRP installed make sure to make a Nandroid Backup and check EFS partition.
Then you will be able to flash MIUI safely.
The easiest way to root is chainfires autoroot but that won't give you custom recovery you will have to flash separately. Dr ketan has published a gude that is stickied, you can't go wrong if you follow that and dr ketan is always helpful and friendly if your confused

Thanks for the replies.
If i root using CF auto root, how do i flash the twrp recovery?
Is it only roms built using a stock base that i have to worry about the build number then?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
You can flash any build number I think the issue is with the latest modem which once flashed can't be downgraded . There are a few threads on it. If you want to use auto root you can use something like rom toolbox pro or I used mobile odin to flash a custom recovery. Personally I recommend phils touch recovery. I think he has an all in one root and custom recovery package that you just flash with odin

If I remember correctly you can downgrade to an earlier rom as long as you reflash your modem

Has anybody noticed that when you attempt to restore a rom using TWRP you get stuck at the T-Mobile boot menu? I've tested this on version 2.6.3.0 and 2.6.3.1
Hasn't happened to me but a lot of people are reporting issues with the TWRP recovery. Try CWM next time.
+1 has anyone found the answer? My twrp works fine on any other roms 4.1.1 4.1.2. As soon as I updated to 4.3 and rooted I can back up rom using twrp but when I try to restore rom it just gets into the tmobile 4g screen boot loop.

Are you guys on 4.3 bootloader ?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Yes upgraded via kies.seems to be twrp not compatible with some of us. Why, dont know yet.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Update and install recovery through GOOManager.
Works for me (4.3 bootloader) . First time is a little slower to boot.
If you lose root after, you can follow this directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607869

Using CWM and it works well for me on 4.3
Using CWM and it works really well.
I did not feel like reading 10,000 Q and A's so here goes. I want to flash a 4.4.2 rom and I think everyone knows twrp 2.6.3.1 will not do it so I have been trying to overwrite it with clockwork but have not been able to on my ATT s3. I have a Verizon I did it to without any problem but everything I try fails. I need help please. What am I doing wrong?

The answer is a topic for another thread. The ROM Manager app could solve your problem, but no one who read your OP knows enough about your failed procedure or your phone's current state to offer specifics.
The 10,000 Q&A are your friends. GUIDES, Indexes, TUTORIALS & Stickys are even friendlier.

Maybe I am on the wrong thread but I thought this was for questions? I am using Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1 and I tried the clockwork application several times but with no success. At one time clockwork was the recovery I was using but I overwrote it with Odin to get team win back but that was when I was content with 4.3.1 Now I flashed liquid smooth 3.0 on my Verizon with clockwork and I would like to try Beanstalk 4.4.2.1......on the Phone I use every day but TWRP fails every time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I am sorry if this is the wrong thread I am kind of new at all this.

BCSC, Thank you for the link...and the short answer. I'LL try it in the morning so I won't screw anything up

I suggest flashing Philz Touch. You can flash it via Odin (use the tar version) or from your custom recovery (use the zip version).
Philz is based off the latest CWM and it works perfectly on my i747m.

Thanks, I used flashify and flashed it without any problem. I thought about using Philz but heard you needed small fingers for the touch part. Thanks though

You can adjust the height of the font to make it larger than it would be in cwm.
I did not know that, thanks I'll give it a try

If you don't like it, you can always flash back CWM Touch. The font colours and background are also changeable.
