Well it depends in what rom you are going to flash some rom supports amonra and some cwm. Both are good.

Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
First thing u do is take a backup.
Than wipe all for first time flashing.
Wipe dalvic cache and wipe cached when u switch between same rom. (Like upgrade).

Thanks for that link. I was able to use it to easily switch between AmonRa and ClockworkMod. It didn't work going from AmonRa 2.2.1 -> ClockworkMod 3.1.0.0, but I was able to go to 3.0.2.4, and back and forth from there. It is a lot easier to try different recoveries this way!

For this you will have to switch to amonra again. And you can restore your back up.
Other way is to first switch to cwm on your desired rom. Then take a nandroid backup via cwm. Then for restoring you will not have to go to amonra.

Does anyone know what the difference between CWM 3.0.2.4 and 3.1.0.0 is? I made a bunch of backups on 3.1.0.0, but it is easier to switch between 3.0.2.4 and AmonRa then it is to do the same for 3.1.0.0, so I was thinking of using those 2 (when I need to use 1 vs the other), but I wanted to be sure my backup will still work with the older CWM

So you are saying,when we plan to switch frm amonra to cwn,first we have to flash cwm3.0.2.4 then flash cwm3.1.0.0 to work smoothly.

To be more specific, I'm saying that with the zips provided in the link, I got an error when trying to flash CWM 3.1.0.0 when running AmonRa 2.2.1. I was able to successfully reflash the 3.1.0.0 zip from a running CWM env, and was able to flash the 3.0.2.4 zip from AmonRa. So at least on my P509, I can't go directly from AmonRa->CWM 3.1.0.0 (vice versa works fine).
But yes, you can do:
AmonRa 2.2.1->CWM 3.0.2.4->CWM 3.1.0.0 using the zips provided
There is probably little reason for most to use both; play with them and choose one. For some of the stuff I'm working on, there are features of each I need though, so I've been going back and forth.
I flashed cwm 3.1 over amonra 2.2.1 without any problem.

You can make your backup and flash your backup using cw it really simple.the backups take up a ton of space so you might want a bigger SD card. I keep one backup on my phone and I move the rest to my computer

Just download the tenfar CMW and use fastboot to flash it again
fastboot flash recovery (then use file name you downloaded)
Make sure the recovery.img is in the same directory as the fastboot.exe file. Makes it easier.
Thank u

You're welcome!
The tenfar recovery is better, it allows you to access the sd-ext and install zips from it. Whereas the clockwork one doesn't give you that option.

Post 59 has a Clockwork flashable zip that will load Telfars recovery. Save you some time and no need to mess with fastboot.

Sorry which thread is this zip file located in? I looked in the tenfar thread and its not that.
Also I assume you're saying that the zip can be installed FROM Khoulk safely?
Hi, I'm really new to this Android thing and a friend bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace. He's worst than me and doesn't know what a ROM is..
Well, I want to install THIS CyanogenMod but it says the phone needs to be in 2.3.* and my friend's is in 2.2.1.
I searched how to update to 2.3.* and I thought updating to 2.3.3 by flashing THIS VillainROM will work.. and after this ROM, put ClockWorkMod (required by the CM) and flash the CM..
I want to know if this will work or if I'll brick my friend's phone (I prefer bricking my phone rather than my friend's). Hope to hear some reponse soon, thanks!
VillanROM is fine

There is a trick like reading the second post of the thread too

I'm Not familuar with your Galaxy phone but as it is samsung you should be able to you odin or swupdate to flash any SUPPORTED rom. Also first thing I have done with any phone regardless of manufacture is obtain root then flash recover and lastly flash the rom of your choice.
Not much help but hope it gives some direction
MOST IMPORTANT read extensivly about anything you are considering flashing BEFORE you do it. $500 dollar paper weights are over rated
Well, thanks for help but I have another problem
I connected the phone to Skies and it said a Firmware update was available. I updated the phone and ended with 2.3.4.
I was very happy and thought: "Great! I have 2.3.4 so now I can put the CWM and install the CyanogenMod "
I copied the CWM to the SD and installed it through recovery. When I tried to enter the CWM App it said I needed Superuser acess and the app closes..
I tried using SuperOneClick v2.1.1 and also opening in recovery mode and selecting "install .zip from SD" with a .zip supposed to root 2.3.4 but none of them worked..
What should I do? HELP!

You don't need root. Flash the clockworkmod recovery and you're all set for the final rom flashing.

Personally you're better off with Clovkworkmod 5.0.2.6 , just flash whatever custom ROM you wanna flash

But how do I flash? I have The Cyanogen in my SD, just turn the phone off and put it in Recovery mode and select update zip from sd?
Recovery mode
"Install zip from SD card" NOT "Install update from SD card"
Select your CyanogenMod zip file
Wait for it to finish
Reboot device

sorry, CWM
No problem or such. Flash newest CWM. And if you screw up anything then you can reflash using Odin to stock fiemware. By doing so stock recovery will replace CWM.

I have heard it can brick if not done right. Best way to do it is to install the ClockWorkModAce.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168417
this ClockWorkModAce.zip it's better than ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6??
any one will do. Just don't use rom manager.
ClockWorkModAce.zip is CWM 4.0.0.9
The other one is CWM 5 obviously..
The only thing is that u can restore Backups made with CWM 4 with CWM 5 but not the other way around! And some Custom ROMs require the latest CWM 5
Just what i told you
jajaja i know
Im wondering do these programs work the same and by that I mean will devs have to make two seperate files for each recovery or will they both handle the same .zip files
same
I'll confirm that they both flash the same packages. Only reason to use one over the other really is personal preference.
problem twrp wont zip files getting error messages
I unlock my device on rev3 boot into twrp and try to flash the jelly bean rom and I keep getting error failed can not find md5 file
I prefer TWRP because it uses a touch interface.

I rooted my fone a week ago with TWRP as my recovery mode.. Then I rerooted my fone to replace the TWRP recov with clockworkmod recov.. now I was going through my storage and found out that there is a folder of the old TWRP which takes 1.+Gb.. I was kinda thinking of deleting it.. would it be alright if I just delete it straight or would it affect my current mod if it got deleted..
Currently on cm9.1
Any help would be very much appreciated.. cheers

Don't think I would really need my backup in that one as I've backed my system up using the clockworkmod before flashing cm9
